Gives Out Many Things Concern
ing New Equipment.
TO LAY HEAVY RAILS.
Eighty-five Pound Steel to Be
Used on Coast Lines.
Many Other improvements to
Be Made.

Los Angeles, Cal. April 15.-During
his recent visit to this city, President E.
P. Ripley of the Santa Fe system auth
orized an official declaration. in which
he denied emphatieally any connection
of the railroad of which he is executive
head with the Scent fare electric rail-
way application pending before the city
council. In reply to a question. Presi-
dent Ripley said:
Not one of our important stoekhold-
ers, as far as I am aware. is connected
with this enterprise. OF that am con-
WINGED. So far as the Santa Fe is con
cerned, that corporation has enough 10
do in attending to its legitimate BUSH
ness of handling freight and passengers
within its present sphere as d trans
continental railway"
President Ripley declined to discuss
the decision recently rendered in the
Northern Securities merger case He
dismissed the subject with the state
ment that the issue is one in which The
Santa Fe has no interest. and as prest-
dent of the company he has all he is
able to attend to, without borrowing
the troubles of others.
Active reconstruction of the Santa
Fe's lines in the local jurisdiction has
begun and before the end of the year
a total of 1873 miles of road between Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Albuquer-
que will be relaid with 85-pound steel
in place of the 81 and 65-pound rails
now in use.
Other betterments ordered by the
Santa Fe for immediate service include
rs new locomotive and a large number
of box cars and refrigerators. The roll
i ing stock will be turned out as rapidly
as possible and the refrigerator cars
Twill be here in time for moving next
seasons citrus crop.
President Ripley says the Santa Fe
is doing more business than ever be-
fore in the company's history, and the
statement applies to passengers as Wen
as freight The phenomenal conditions
are prevalent in the territory of the
company everywhere. The Santa Fe's
president sees no reason for change
in the immediate future in existing bus
mess conditions.

NOT AT SAN BERNARDINo.
A. G. Wells Says New Hospital viii
Be Built in Los Angeles

San Bernardino, April 15-In response
TO a question as to whether the new
Santa Fe hospital would be built in
San Bernardino or not A. G. Wells.
general manager of the Santa F'e coast
lines, said:
1T viii not. The santa Fe hospital
will be built on Boyle Heights, Los
Angeles. This is a matter which has
been settled, and there will be no
change in the decision
Just what has been the cause of lead
ing the officials to reach such a con-
ciusion, Mr.. Wells was not prepared to
say, and when he was told that COM
mittee from San Bernardino would
probably wait upon him with regard to
the hospital he stated that in that case,
then, he would rather withdraw his an
swer. and out of courtesy to the com
mittee. leave the response for them to
receive first.
From this interview it is certain that
as long as Mr.. Wells has the disposal
Of the matter San Bernardino win not
get the hospital and as the structure
will soon be in course of building it is
really a closed matter. though Mr.
Wells has nothing but the best of wish
es for the city, and is only led to select
Los Angeles for reasons not at all per-
SOnal.
