Tie and Timber Department
Created by J. w. kendrick.
e. O. Faulkner Promoted to
Position of Manager.
CHIEF CLERK NAMED.
s. d. Cooper Chosen from Store
House Department.
H. J. Grow Named for Assistant
St0rehouse Accountant.
CHIEF CLERK NAMED.

Third Vice President J. w. Kendriciz
of the Santa Fe, has issued the follow
ing circular:
"Chicago, April 20, 1904.
Effective April %. 1904, Mr.. E. o.
Faulkner is appointed manager tie ana
timber department, with headquarters
at Topeka, Kansas.
He viii also have charge of any ana
all plants for the preservative treat
nent of ties and timber. Managers Of
tie and timber preserving plants win
report to him, and all officers charged
with the maintenance of track, bridges
and buildings should report to him con-
corning any matters connected with
the greater durability or prolongatfon
of services of ties and timber, and rem
der such reports as he may call for.
Mr. Faulkner will also maintain a
record showing location of all treated
and untreated ties inserted in track,
and the timber inserted in bridge struc-
lures during each year. with the dates
of removal of such ties and timber IN
account of decay or other causes
The position to which Mr.. Faulkner
is appointed is a new one with the San
ia Fe, and SO far as known is unique
in the railroad world. Up to this time
the extensive work of tie treating has
been done on the Santa Fe under no
definite department, though Mr. Faux
ner has to a considerable extent been
in charge of this work. He has also
been the contract man for the company
being in charge of many important ne
gotiations with other roads for right
of way, depot locations and similar
matters.
Mr.. Faulkner has up to this time
held the position of assistant general
manager, Mr.. Nudge having had two
assistants. He has been with the COM
pany for many years, and is we'll
known to the railroad men of the
west His promotion to the position
of manager of the new departm ent
will meet with approval
Mr.. Faulkner will have his office
at the general offices. He has ap-
pointed as his chief clerk Mr.. S. D.
Cooper, who has been assistant store
house accountant in this city. Mr.
Cooper has been connected with the
Santa Fe for about ten years, most of
H. J. Crow, an old employe at the
storehouse, will be promoted to sue
coed Mr.. Cooper.
All the changes are effective today
but the new department may not be
in full running order for a few days
Mr.. Faulkner Will have several other
clerks in his office, but it not likely
that a great many clerks will be need
ed at the outset.
The work of treating ties and tim
bers is one which is becoming more
and more important in the railroad
business. The Santa Fe has several
tie treating stations, and experiments
already made have convinced the Of
ficials that it is a very profitable prop
osition to use preserved ties and tim
bers.

Illinois Central Wants an Injunction

Illinois Central Wants an Injunction
Against Chicago ScaIpers.
Chicago, April 25.-The first applica-
ton to the courts for an injunction
against Chicago ticket scaIpers prob
ably viii be made today by the Illinois
Central railroad. 1t is one of the
strongest lines between Chicago and
st. Louis, and would suffer a great loss
in revenue IL, because it granted stop
overs here on tickets to St Louis,
scalpers We're enabled to traffic in
such tickets, selling them to persons
who otherwise would pay the regular
rates between this city and st. Louis.
The Illinois Central and Grand Trunk
roads announced several days ago that
they would grant stop-overs in Chi
cago on excursion tickets to the St.
Louis fair, regardless of the action of
other roads, and whether or not in
functions were issued restraining Chi
cago scalpers from buying or selling
nontransferable transportation.
This announcement was construed
by scalpers and some railroad officials
as equivalent to declaration that
those two roads were Indifferent as to
an injunction against the scalpers.
Officials of both these companies de-
clare, on the contrary, that they are
very anxious to have the brokers en-
joined from handling their tickets, and
will make application individually for
such in5unctionS.

Court Decision Gives Joints Is
Temporary Advantage.
MAY NOW SELL OPENLY
All They Are Compelled to Do
Is Pay Assessed Fine.
New Measure Is Being Prepared
by City Attorney.

Kansas City. Kas.. April 25.-kan-
sas city, Kas., is without an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of liquor WITHIN
fits limits. Under the present city or
dfnance it now has no authority or
power to levy and collect fines from
1ointkeepers. as has so long been the
custom.
The question was decided Saturday
in the district court on a motion to
dismiss the prosecution against Martin
Moyland, fined $500 in police court
on November % for selling liquor In
a decision of the supreme court on
March u in the case Of the city OF
Astoria against Wells. charged with
selling liquor, that court held that a
civ ordinance similar to the one IN
force in Kansas city, Kas.. prohibiting
the sale of liquor. is void. In the de-
cision it is said that the state law pre-
scribes the provisions that may be IN
corporated IN a city ordinance
According to the state law the city
ordinances must provide as a penalty
for violating its liquor ordinances a
fine of not less than 500 nor more
than $500, and a jail sentence of not
less than thirty days nor more than six
months. The city ordinance now on
the books in Kansas City, Kas-, mere
Iy provides for a fine. as prescribed
by the state law. but omits the Jail
sentence. me supreme court uOAdS
this makes void the ordinance.
In order to remedy this NJ. J. Reitz
city attorney. has prepared an ordi-
nance complying with the provisions
of the state law, and instead of merely
having a fine assessed against them
the jointkeepers will. under the ordi-
nance, have to serve a Jail sentence of
not less than thirty days. to be i'm
posed by the police judge. This ordi-
nance will be introduced in the city
council at its next meeting.
1t is said this viii in no way affect
the sale of liquor in that city. The
same fine system will continue as now
in force. and each month the joint
keepers will each pay 500. The way
they will avoid the Jail sentence is
that when arrested each month the
jointkeepers will deposit 500 as a
cash bond and be released. When the
case is called in police court the joint
keeper will not appear, and the bond
will be forfeited in the same old Way

SOLVE THE SMOKE PROBLEM.
Kansas CITY Wants Railroads to Give
Low Rate on Fuel Oil.

LOW KATE Oh EuG4 O1A.
Can the railroads leading into Kan
sas City be induced to lower their
freight tariff on shipments of fuel oil
from the oil fields of Kansas to this
city? asks the Kansas City Star. J. J.
Helm of this city believes if this can
be done the use of oil will supersede
that of coal as fuel among the manu-
facturers of Kansas City. The result
of such an innovation would be an
abatement of the smoke nuisance IN
this city and other effects of salutaly
nature on all of the interests involved.
There are many inferior grades of
oil not being taken from the Kansas
fields because there is no market Tor
them" said Mr.. Helm yesterday. The
railroads maintain the same freight
rate for the hauling Of these inferior
grades of oil as they do for carrying
illuminating oil. If they could be per-
suaded to reduce that rate so that the
cost of burning this oil could De made
about as cheap as coal these fuel grades
of oil would find a ready market The
roads themselves would thus get BUSH
ness which they would not otherwise
get; the oil men would be able to sell
oil which they are now compelled TO
leave in the ground, the consumer
could save labor and the Inconvenience
of disposing of ashes and the COM
munity would be benefited by the
abatement of the smoke nuisance.
The present rate for coal from all
parts of Kansas is four cents a hum
dred pounds. The rate for all kinks
of oil is ten cents. Regarded as a fuel
it requires four barrels of oil to equal
the potency of a ton of coal. Each bar
rel weighs $50 pounds. The rate on a
ton of coal would thus be so cents while
on an equal amount of oil would he
$3.50. Mr.. Helms plan is to have the
railroads if possible, reduce this rate
on fuel oil about 81 for every 1900
pounds. That would make the differ
ence between the cost of a ton of coal
and that of an equal amount of oil TO
the Kansas City consumer about 40
cents. This difference, according to
Mi. Heim's belief, would be more than
made up by the saving Of labor in thu
handling of the fuel and the removal
of the ashes.
1--WE have been figuring on using oil
at the brewery continued Mr.. Helm,
*and have received a price of so cents
a barrel. I have talked to several
nanufa cturers Of this city regarding
the plan and they favor it strongly.
