NO GRAFT FOR SANTA FE.
Standard Oil Does Not Pay Tribute or
Pipe Lines, Says Mr.. Ripley.

standard OIl DOCS NOt ray tribute on
Pipe Lines, Says Mr.. Ripley.
Chicago, Aug. 26.-Concerning some
recent criticisms of the Santa Fe which
charged that the company was receiv-
ing pay from the Standard Oil COM
pany for oil which passes through the
Kansas pipe lines, E. P. Ripley, presi-
dent of the railroad company, made
this statement yesterday:
st wish it were true that the Santa
Fe is getting, or could get anything out
of the oil that moves through the
Standard Oil company's pipe lines, but
unfortunately for US it is not true. The
road has not derived benefit of any
kind, direct or indirect, from the ad-
vent of the Standard Oil company in
the Kansas field.
1.-THE statements made regarding the
Santa Fe, as well as the conclusions
drawn therefrom, are absolutely false,
except as to certain changes in weights
and rates, which were proper and
justifiable and were not made either
for the benefit of the Standard Oil
company or in collusion with it. The
fact is that the Santa Fe company
never had any oil traffic in Kansas of
any consequence. It's entire earnings
on Kansas oil during the height of the
excitement, the thirteen months end
ing March 1. 1905, were less than
$4,000"

on the isthnian canal.
H. U. Nudge, second vice president
of the Rock Island, left Kansas City
last night on tour of inspection over
st. Joseph, via Cameron Junction.
The people of Pecos valley are
spending much money in advertising
that country. The Santa Fe is assist
ing them and has recently issued a
folder to be used for local purposes.
Conductor P. j. Chase and Con-
ductor Thompson, both of the west
end of the Santa Fe, were recently
found to be letting people ride with
out tickets and consequently were let
out of the employ of the company-at
least that is the excuse given.
The striking Santa Fe machinists
have decided to increase their picket
force around the yards of the company.
1t was denied by the strikers that this
increase was being made because of
any activity on the part of the COM
pany in securing new workmen.
1t is reported that new steel rails will
be laid on the Fort Scott. Wichita &

HEALTH RULES STRINGENT.
Gainesville Authorities Making TrOu-
BILE for Passengers.


BILE for Passengers.
Officials of the Santa Fe and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas are in COM
munication with DR.. Tabor, the state
health officer of Texas, asking him to
use his influence with the health Of
fcer and other local authorities at
Gainesville, Tex, for a modification of
the new quarantine regulations adopt
ed by the town and which went into
effect yesterday. Since the beginning
of the yellow fever scare in the south,
Gainesville has kept the railroads and
the travelling public in a quandary over
its quarantine regulations. Heretofore
when a train entered that city a guard
would stand at the door of each car and
proceed to place the passengers in the
car under oath and then examine
them to ascertain whether or not any
of them had been in the yellow fever
infected district.
This plan has not been considered,
efficient and the new regulations pro-
vide that every passenger entering
that city from any direction and any
must be armed with health GER
tificate. This health certificate must
be in due form from the municipal,
county or district health officer where
the passenger lives and must be signed
not only by the health officer but also
by the mayor or other administrative
officer of the locality. The Gainesville
authorities also demand that de-
scription of the holder of the GER
tificate shall be entered on the same
by the officer issuing the document.
ANY passenger not provided with a
certificate will be placed in a detention

Paris, Aug. 26.-Joseph Ramsey, jr.,
president of the Wabash railroad. ex-
pressed surprise yesterday at the re-
ports from the United States that
George Gould had been elected presi-

Mr.. Ramsey was given a six months
leave of absence from the Wabash and
Mr.. Gould was named acting president.
t'It is usual for the board of direc-
tors to elect a new president every
year." said Mr.. Ramsey, land it is
quite possible that Mr.. Gould, who is
now a member of that board, might be
elected president at the annual meet
ing in October. but any such election
before that time and particularly dur
ing my leave of absence would be
illegal"
Mr.. Ramsey said that he could not
understand how Mr.. Gould or any one
else could be elected to the presidency
of the Wabash when he (Ramsey) had
not, up to the present time, even ten
dered his resignation. 1t is Mr.. Ram
sey's intention to resign his Office, and
be is inclined to think that Mr.. Gould

1t appears, a word, that the procedure discussed
in this report was taken In a well nteptloned er,

The complicated nature Of the situation is shown
by the Attorney General to arise from the conflict

recent years he points out, have left dead timber
