OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. =

| "scottie" has been awarded, the medal.
His real popularity began when he
started in to buy out the Los Angeles
saloons and make the hotel bell boys
who waited upon him Independently
rich. 1t reached it's highest tide when
he left La Grande station Sunday af-
ternoon on his way to Chicago, and the
Lake City has taken 1t up where Los
Angeles left off.
Scott's $500 purchased him notoriety,
but 1t was at the risk of many lives
and the destruction of valuable equip
ment.
The insurance agent who wrote
$4,000 policy on Scotts life made it at
the lowest rate because he said the
Tourney was safer than on the Limited.
but he haunted the telegraph station
and marked the progress of the train
on his time table.
Officials Cease Worrying
Officials of the Santa Fe in Los AnEe-
les. counting from the departure of
the special Sunday, ate their first
square meal yesterday noon and gained
their first peaceful rest last night. Rail-
road men say that they demonstrated
their nerve in offering to make the test
The Pennsylvania lines will not COM
pete for a special from Chicago to New
York should "Scottie" desire to make
the journey.
1t required sixteen engines, exclusive
of those which helped the train over
the steepest mountain grades. Sixteen
engineers knowing the whims of their
engines like mother knows her child,
coaxed their charges to the limit and
at the end of the run swung to the
ground, proud of having been in the
race, but with nerves unstrung and
willing enough to take the rest which
the company will give them.
Hundreds of telegraph operators lis
tened to the keys of their Instruments
as the dots and dashes told mile by
mile, of the onward course Of the train.
Hours before 1T was due to pass
switches or crossings where there was
the slightest possible chance of an ac-
cident watchmen stood in the hot sun
or the cool of the night and waited the
time when the flash of an engine and
three rolling, rocking cars should pass
and relieve them of their responsibility
Wives of the men playing their part
in the pastime which king would not
permit himself to think Of listened
for the prearranged toot of the loco
motive whistle which was to tell them
that all was well with their loved ones,
or hung about the dispatcher's Office
with the messenger boys, awaiting the
bulletins which were given out.
Through each and every city, town,
village and hamlet which the train
passed, from one to one hundred men
felt responsibility resting on his
shoulders 1t ranged from the section
man to the general managers Office.
What are you doing this for. Mr..
Scott?" asked a Chicago reporter of
the Death valley Croesus. as he hedged
his way through the crowd at the
Dearborn street station.
What for, sonny? Well. because /
like to ride fast"

HISTORY is MADE. BY TRAIN
All Other Achievements in Speed and
Distance Outdone

In the making of railroad history the
events Of the past three days have
done much.
Last Sunday men who have given
their lives to railroadingal Laughed when
they read that the Santa Fe would at
tempt a forty-five hour schedule for a
special train between Los,Anselss and
Chicago. Monday they merely smile@ /;
yesterday they thrust their hands in
their trousers pockets and in company
with gaping crowds before the newspa-
per bulletin boards conned over the
words: Scott makes run of 2265 miles
from Los Angeles to Chicago in forty
four hours and fifty-three minutes"
Santa Fe officials who were instru-
mental in all the arrangements for the
great test of their road, found them
selves wondering whether or not the
telegrapher had not made some mis-
take.
The message which brought general
rejoicing at the head offices of the road
in the Conservative Life building came
with the click of the telegraph key at
10 o'clock yesterday morning. The mes
senger boy who carried the little slip
of paper into the office of General Pas
senger Agent Byrne dared to give its
contents to Mr.. Byrne before the mes
sage was handed to him. The boy met
with no rebuke.
The message read: Twelve o'clock
noon, Scott special reached Dearborn
Chicago, average speed fifty miles an
hour"
Exchange Congratulations
A moment later Mr.. Byrne was hand
ed another telegram. 1t was from Scott
and he laughed when he read it.. 1t
was as follows: "Well, guess I am
crazy. 1 guess I don't know thing
about railroads. What do you think
of the trip? Answer" i.
"Scottie" received this answer: II
congratulate you and am glad you have
no rebate coming. 1t takes good men,
good machines and good track to do 1t
and they are all at your disposal. j.
j. Byrne."
From the time Caesar fixed up the
little scheme of three times refusing
the crown in the presence of the pop
ulace until the present day no man
has more ably carried out a plan of
advertising than has Scott in his rec
ord breaking journey. A COW puncher
with the sand of the desert in his shoes
and the tan of the sun on his face has
surpassed the breakfast food adver-
tisers without half trying.
The time of the Peacock special. which
until yesterday held the long distance
record, has been made to resemble a
freight train in comparison with the
Scott flyer and the schedule Of the
Santa Fe limited, the pride of the sys-
tenn, is too slow for consideration.
The Special and the Limited
If the Limited had started at the
same time as did Scott. he would still
have time for game Of poker with
the boys in Chicago, the destruction OF
few bottles of champagne and then
start ON his return to Los Angeles to
meet the Limited not much over half
way. scott's time is twentyth
hours and six minutes faster than that
OF the Limited. 1t was made In the
face of dihiculties which eastern roads
do not have to consider.
scott's passage across the country
was continuous ovation. Americans
are spenders. They admire superior,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-12
officials Are Pleased

General Manager A. G. Wells ex-
pressed his pleasure over the outcome
of the trip in this wise:
1--WE feel pretty good about the way
that special tore time up, now that's
a fact 1t is wonderful run, not TAX
a single track road. When a train
makes a speed of fifty miles an hour
for 2265 miles, the record is phenomenal.
Now, have always reckoned that
when train could make an average
of forty miles an hour for 300 miles,
over single track road, the men who
took 1t through were fairly good men,
and that the equipment and roadbed
were something"
w. H. Brewer, assistant to Manager
Wells. and, who, since the start of
the special from Los Angeles until it
arrived In Chicago, gave it most of
his attention, looked up from a huge
pile of Scott kilograms yesterday after
noon to say that the train had gone
though like CREASED lightning.
Everything transpired as 1t had been
planned, except that the train got a
little ahead of our figures" he said. $50
far as we have been advised there was
not a single mishap of any kind. In
a comparison of the time made along
the route, the Los Angeles division
held its own admirably.
'In the 1888 miles between Los An
geles and Albuquerque, the fastest
time was made between Los Angeles
and San Bernardino. Between Pasa-
dena and Olivewood, one and four
tenths miles We're reeled off In one
minute, and the distance of two miles
from North Cucamonga to Rochester
was covered in exactly minute and
half"
General Superintendent I. L. Hib-
bard, as he looked up from the train
sheet carrying the long list of figures
on the Scott special, smiled and said:
"The performance was remarkably
good. When 1t is considered that the
train maintained an average speed Of
fifty miles an hour. which included all
stops, for the entire distance OF 2265
miles, l believe the Santa Fe has a
right to feel proud of the Undertaking.
II indicates the condition of the line
and the character of the motive power.
as we'll as the men, This is my way
of looking at the question"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-12

richer for having landed Scott at his
destination over five hours sooner than
our contract called for Personally,
I had no idea we could push the train
through as fast as we did. Naturally,
we are much gratif1ed at the success
of the undertaking. I think Mr.. Scott
Il equally well satisfied"

CINCINNATI, Ohio, January 27.-The re-

for the regulation of professional base ball,
was completed today by the national base
ball commission and will be made public In
few days. Most of the changes were
agreed upon at the recent meeting of the
commission In this city.
Increased authority for the national COM

more open dealing in drafting and selling
are the most important of the changes, any
amendments being minor and largely for
the purpose of avoiding misunderstanding
of possibly ambiguous statements.
