RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Did Not Lift Its En-
barge Yesterday.
That Roads Order Is Still in
Force at Kansas City.
PAUL MORTON TALKS.
Second Vice President Explains
the Situation.
Company Has 1000 Loaded
Cars Tied Up at Lawrence.
PAUL MORTON TALKS.

Kansas City. Aug. 2s.-The embargo
against Kansas City in the matter of
grain shipments enforced by the Santa
Fe viii continue in operation indefi-
nitely. The embargo was to have been
raised yesterday. but the freight traffic
officials of the road said they were not
in a position to raise it at the present
time. The Santa Fe continues to refuse
grain shipments to Kansas City and the
embargo is operative against the prin-
cipal Kansas City lines.
Paul Morton, second vice president
of the Santa Fe system, was at the
Union depot several hours yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Morton arrived in his
special car, accompanied by w. B.
Biddle, freight traffic manager, and Mr..
Peabody. The party left last night for
Topeka, Kas., to be present today at
meeting with the Kansas state board
of railroad commissioners.
THE Santa Fe regrets as much as
the shippers the fact that it cannot
handle grain shipments to better ad-
vantage" said Mr. Morton. I'VE now
have fully 1000 loaded cars upon our
tracks at Lawrence and many more at
other points close to Kansas City. We
are making every effort to move them
as quickly as possible However. we
have never fully recovered from the
losses and decentralization to the bust
ness during the recent flood and are not
now in condition to handle the heavy
freight business. The task would have
been heavy enough without this handi-
cap. We are helping to move the larg
est grain harvest in the history of
Kansas, and all these things must be
taken into consideration"
Has the Santa F'e any plans for in
creased yardage or terminal facilities in
Kansas City?"
We have no immediate plans, but
We could not accomplish anything this
fall and it is too early to talk about
plans for next season.
Mr. Biddle, who accompanied Mr..
Morton, was at the meeting of trans
Missouri freight traffic officials held at
the Hotel Baltimore yesterday after
noon. The meeting was held to con-
slider an advance in live stock rates.
However it is said, no satisfactory
agreement was reached. At the meet
ing also were A S. Dodge, freight
traffic manager, and J. A Middleton,
general freight agent of the Frisco
system. f. J. Hoffman and w. B.
Groseclose were also present
J. e. Hurley, general superintendent
OF the Santa Fe lines at Topeka, spent
several hours with Mr.. Morton. They
visited the stock yards and local
freight house. Mr. Morton has been in
Europe since his visit to Kansas CITY
last spring. This is the first time he
has been here since the flood. and
naturally he was much interested in
its effects upon the Santa FEES prop
ertv.

NEW CHIEF OF ENaINEERs.
The History of Warren 8. Stone as
Told by Himself

Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 26.-Modesty
and repressed energy are the two chief
traits most apparent to the observer
of Warren S. Stone, new chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
He is a big man, six feet one inch in
height, and muscularly and solidly
built. He has dark hair and mustache,
both tinged with gray. His eyes are
blue, and as is usual with men who
have spent years watching railroad sig
mails they are keen. He has another
trait characteristic of engineers-he is
alert. He impresses one as man who
knows his business.
When seen by a reporter he was al
ready at work at the desk formerly
used by p. M. Arthur. though he had
been elected but a few hours before.
My history" he said. "Oh, I have
none"
Stone talks in a low modulated voice
He has firm mouth, over which his
heavy mustache droops, and a square
jaw.

other brothers helped my father till

KANSAS FILES PROTEST.
Wholesalers Object to Dropping of
Commodity Rates.

Wichita, Kas., Aug. 26.-Former City
Attorney A. E. Helm and Secretary H.

reau, left this afternoon for Topeka,
where they will file two cases before
the railroad commissioners, each con-
tanning protests against freight rates
to Wichita and other Kansas points.
One is on coal and is brought by the
city, while the other is a plea for re-
adjustment on beans, canned goods and
coffee, and is made by wholesale gro
GERS of the southwest. The last named
complaint. like the first, is brought
posed change, which will do away with
the commodity rates and put the goods

thereby raising them considerably.

Salt Lake City to Denver. Heretofore
this business has been handled by the
Union Pacific. The smelling of lead ore
has not been paying in the past, but
through Gould and Rockefeller securing
the Occur D'Alene district, and the
computations formed by the United
Lead company, which was incorporated
last week with S27 200, 900 capital, the
probability is that the prices will be adj
vanced to a point which will make it a
paying proposition. The Denver and
Rio Grande will secure about 700 miles
of haul of the ore. 1t will be handled
by the Oregon Short Line from Idaho
to Salt Lake City. where it will be de
livered to the Gould road.
