Lone Robber Ties Two Clerks and
Carries Away Cash.

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-Compell-
ing two clerks to go into a room at
the point of a revolver to be made
prisoners. a masked man took a suit
case containing s4.40O and records and
parers belonging to the Central Grain
and Stock Exchange at 20 Liedesdorf
street. and then made his escape.
F. J. Flynn and H. T. Hearny are
clerks employed by the exchange and
they were carrying the suit case con-
tanning the gold, silver and paper into
the office through a passageway in the
rear when they were confronted by
the robber. His revolver caused them
to obey his commands The thief was
hidden behind a partition so that he
could not be seen until a person was
within a few feet of him. He showed
perfect familiarity with the premises.
1t is customary for these two clerks
to carry the suit case to the safe de-
post department of the Union Trust
company, Market and Montgomery
streets every night and return in the
morning. Before their arrival the
place is cleaned out by an Italian and
it was through a door left open by
him that the robber slipped in. As
the clerks entered they heard a COM
around and saw the robber. He was
wearing a mask made of a, white
handkerchief, in which holes had been
cut for eyes and nose. The revolver
was of large size and formidable
looking.
March with that suit case to that
step half way down the hall there"
ordered the robber. On arriving at
the designated point the clerks were
instructed to drop the suit case and
then move forward. They were forced
to go into a toilet room, and getting
them there the robber took a piece of
cord and tied their. hands to a hook
made of a large wire nail which had
recently been placed in the brick wall.
With the clerks tied in the room,
the robber took the suit case and de-
parted Presumably he had some con-
veyance near at hand. The two clerks
released themselves after some trouble
and notified the police of the robbery.

out to the long, dusty trains, and fair
ly surprise fasteners with their dis
play of fruits, selling their wares at a
nominal price. The trade has always
been brisk. and these men have grad

few months ago an Italian attempted
to sell to passengers, but he was GUST
ed by the MexicanS, who raised a
regular hornets nest about him and
now they themselves are being given

Alleges Discrimination.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The South
ern and Sea board Air Line railways to-
day were made defendants in a COM
plant filed with the interstate COM
merce commission by John Compton
of Chauncey, Ga The petition alleges
that these roads, by enforcing q, mini
mum weight of 10000 pounds per car
load of lumber and timber from
Chauncey and adjacent southern
points to eastern and Virginia points,
as against a minimum of $4,000 from
Chauncey and adjacent southern
points to western points, subjects the
complainant, his traffic in lumber, the
city of Chauncey, and adjacent south
ern towns to the payment of unreason-
able and unjust rates of transportation
and to unjust discrimination and dis
advantages
Complainant asks that the defendant
roads may be compelled to refund him
the amount which he paid, represented
by the difference in the minimum
weights referred to, and also to re-
esta blish $4,000 pounds as the mini
mum weight per car load on all ship
ments of lumber and timber from
Chauncey.

REORGANIZATION OF S. P.
Rumors of n General Shakeup to
Occur Soon.

Well grounded rumors in railroad
circles OF big shakeup in Southern
Pacific circles are afioat-. In fact the
rumored Shakeup amounts almost to
an entire new policy in the creation
OF system of districts of general
superintendent, something after that
followed by the Santa Fe and other
systems This plan is most desirable,
because of the very different condi-
tons in the operating of a railway
system IN desert country and in a
country in which affairs are the re-
verse
The new plan is that a district is
to be created comprising the lines of
the Southern Pacific in southern Cali
fornia from Los Angeles to Ell Paso,
Tex, and that r. H. Ingram, of Los
Angeles. now superintendent of the
Los Angeles division, will be appointed
as superintendent of the district.
The story goes further. with the ap-
pointment of w. A McGovern, of Los
Angeles, now assistant superintendent
sion superintendent to succeed Mr.
Ingram
Thomas J. McCafrey, late train
master of the Los Angeles division, is
understood to be promoted to the
place of superintendent of the Tucson
division, with headquarters at Tucson,
Ariz-
All these changes will entail nu-
merous others all along down the line,
Will be general. The matter is said to
have been brewing for some time, but
has been carefully guarded 1t is be-
ieved that official announcement of
the new order of things will be made
in a very short time.

ress Monroe, Va, on Oct. Is. The
most important subject on the docket
is a proposition to abolish Sunday ex-
cursions- Several of the roads have
taken individual action, notably the
Lake Shore and Northwestern, which
have decided not to run Sunday ex-
cursions except when absolutely neces-
Sary.
Many of the roads, however, find the
Sunday excursion business exceedingly
profitable. and they do not like to dis
continue them While this association
may recommend the abolition of Sun
day excursions by all lines, it is not
probable that the action would be rati-
fed by the passenger associa tions
which have made many Intellectual at
tempts heretofore to secure that end.

NEW DEPOT FOR lola.
Santa Fe Railroad VIII Make Imp
roNements at lola.

lola, Kan, Sept 24.-Capt. T. S.
Slower today received a letter from J..
E Hurley, the general superintendent
of the Santa Fe road saying that the
item of new station for lola had been
put in the budget for next year. The
letter was written in response to a
letter of inquiry sent Mr.. Hurley by
Capt Slower. Mr. Hurley said that
the question had first to be presented
to the board of directors for approval,
but that il was a moral certainty that
il would be built The location of the
station. according to Mr. Hurley. will
be at the end of Madison avenue, if
this location will meet with the ap-
proval OF the city A freight station
viii be located south of the new sta
ton Nothing was stated as to the
amount set aside for the station. but
enough was said to show that the road
expects to build an up-to-date passen-
ger station To quote Mr.. Hurley's
words. We have endeavored to bear
in mind the fact in making up our
budget that lola will in a few years
need a much larger station than she
does at present and we have taken
this into consideration" Since the
budget will not be approved until De-
cember il is probable that work on
the new station will not be begun until
next spring.

VEGETATION IN SAND DESERTS.
Santa Fe Will Try TO Keep Sand From
Blowing Over Railroad Tracks.

The Santa F'e is about to try an ex-
pertinent in New Mexico, Arizona and
lower California which has been tried
in Europe with great success. That is,
to bind the sand along the tracks by
means of low growing plants so that II
will not drift over them during wind
storms There is no doubt that the
thing can be done. and done success
fully, if the right kind of plants are
used, and it is needed greatly on the
sandy wastes of Arizona and New
Mexico.
General superintendent Shepard, Of
the Santa Fe coast lines paid special
attention to this matter during a recent
inspection trip and experiments will be
made at once.
