FACTS ARE DISTORTED
Sensational Article Full Of Untruths
About Santa Fe Central and It's
President.

In the Philadelphia North American
OF October Gath, in three column
article concerning the affairs of the
defllnct Enterprise National Bank of
Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, and
which article contains many innuendos
and insinuations, based upon nothing
but hot air concerning the connection
OF Delegate w. Fl. Andrews of New
Mexico, with the affairs of the failed
bank, the following is printed:
"sideights on Bulls Road"
More interesting information about
the Bull Andrews Railroad In New
Mexico, which has been partly
financed with funds from the easily
worked Enterprise State depository,
reached here today. The little road
Is said to be equipped with one tiny
locomotive, two small combination
cars for the travelling public and for
freight and luxurious palace car for
the use of President Bull Andrews.
In this palace on wheels the Bull
has journeyed in style to Washington
and other places, the expense of haul.
ing it over the big roads being borne,
1t is declared, by his little company.
financed with money drawn from
pennsylvania state repositories.
Claiming 'courtesies' as railroad
president from the railroad corpora
tions of the country, the Bull has ac-
cumulated enough annual passes to
fill valise.
BY flashing these when he travels
he conveys the impression of being q
most distinguished man, fully qualified
to become United States Senator
from the future great state Of New
Mexico"
Story is False.
The above is an unmitigated false
hood, but whether intentional Oh not
on the part of the North American.
this paper cannot say That it is In
territorial on the part Of the man who
gave the information, is patent and
that the North American, that Is bit
terly and venomously fighting the
Pennsylvania Republican state ticket,
did not wish to post itself on the truth
or falsity OF the report is also patent.
A representative of the New Mexi-
can called today on Assistant General
Manager s. B. Grimshaw of the Santa
Fe Central, concerning the matter. Mr..
Grimshaw stated that the business OF
the Santa Fe Central was steadily
on the increase, that the road now
had about 100000 head of sheep ready
for shipment and that during the past
few months, the business had In
creased at a very gratifying rate and
that operating expenses and more had
been paid during these months.
Gives Equipment List.
AS to the rolling stock, etc., Mr..
Grimshaw addressed the following let
ter:
"To the Editor of the New Mexican,
Santa Fe, New Mexico:
Dear Sir-At your request l beg
to advise that the engines and equip
ment on the Santa Fe Central road
are as follows:
Locomotives, 6; Mogul type. cylin-
der 1Sx26.
1.-TWO combination cars.
1.-TWO coaches.
1.-TWO cabooses.
"Twenty-four box cars
Forty fiat cars.
Fifteen gondolas.
Fifteen tank cars.
'This company has no special car
of any description. Employees are paid
promptly on the 18th of each month.
yours truly,
rs. B. GRIMSHAW.
assistant to President and General
Manager"
No Private Gar.
In this connection 1t is we'll to state
that Delegate Andrews has new
er travelled east in private car since
he has been resident of New Mexico.
Whether he travels on passes or not,
the New Mexican does not know and
does not care. The chances are that
he does and the man who blames him
for that and because he takes advan-
tage of the privileges Of his position
as president of railroad in this re-
spect, is certainly more or less OF
dam phool" There is not railroad
president or railroad manager In the
country who does not receive free
transportation over other roads as
a matter of courtesy and in exchange.
and certainly no defense of the dele s
gate in this instance is necessary.
