FREIGHT CARS GALORE.
New York Central Issues Orders for
$4,000 OF. Them.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The New York
Central railroad placed orders yester-
day with several manufacturing COM
panies for a total of 5000 freight cars,
calling for the expenditure of about
$25,O00,000. This order exceeds that
placed last week by the Pennsylvania
railroad for 21, GOO cars, which until
yesterday was the largest order for
equipment ever placed by a railroad in
this country. The orders placed yes
terday are for delivery all through the
year 1906. These orders, it is said, do
not represent the total of the Central's
requirements. In all probability more
cars will be provided for today.
Contracts for this record breaking
amount of equipment We're let yester-
day by Vice President Brown of the
New York Central The equipment
will be divided between the New York
Central itself and the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern. None of it is in
tended, so far as is known to the man
ufacturers, for the Vanderbilt lines
west of Chicago. Except the cars or
dered from the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany, the order calls principally for
wooden cars of the gondola and box
variety.

FASTER TROLLEY TIME.
Promoter Says Schedule From 4. C
70 Topeka Too Slow.

Kansas City, October 2S.-Two survey
crews are now out viewing the country
between Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas
City to find the best practicable route
for an electric road between the Kansas
state capital ana Kansas City. George
f. McCullagh, president of the Indiana
Street Railway company, and H. c.
Stilwell, his colleague of Anderson, Ind,
recently acquired a right of way for a
road, but abandoned it as impracticable
An electric service between Topeka
and Kansas City will depend almost en-
tirely on its terminal traffic for its rev.
enue,' said Mr.. Stilweu at the Coates
house, and the route selected must
present the advantages of very low
grades and very small curves. There
are twenty-five trains daily between
Topeka and Kansas City and an electric
road could not get business by simply
cutting rates. We figure. however. that
a twO-hour run between the terminals
over a roadbed as good as any used by
the fast eastern trains with a modern
equipment and a regular schedule would
be a paying proposition. If we can get
the right route we mean to build"

NOVEL CARS FOR INvALIDs.
Southern Pacific Has One Equipped
Like Modern HOSPITAL.

signed hospital car of the Southern
Pacific railway which was on exhibit
ton at the Rock Island station yester-
day, contains an operating room equip
ped with all appliances such as can be
found in the most modern hospital The
car is equipped with a dietary kitchen,
to be used when the car is leased for
the transportation of an invalid. A
novel feature is the arrangement of
berths. When not in use these berths
are sunk into the floor, leaving the
entire floor space in the main section of
the car free, with nova bic chairs for
seats. Each berth has a regular spring
and mattress like an ordinary bed, and
can be raised or lowered to any con-
venient height from the floor to permit
an attending nurse or doctor to get at
the patient easily.

OIL As FUEL IN SHOPS.
Great Results From Experiments by
Southern Pacific.

A report of the economies effected
by the use of fuel oil in railroad shops
has been made recently to the South
ern Pacific Railway company, showing
that it costs 40 cents worth of fuel oil
that is 40 gallons at 1 cent a gallon
to heat one ton Of wrought iron to
the welding point, as compared with
500 pounds of bituminOus coal costing
SIPS.
This shows a saving of IS per cent
in the cost of fuel alone. It costs S12
a day for labor to carry the coal from
the coal pits to the furnaces, while one
man can supervise the distribution of
oil over the whole works. The expense
for ashes handling and cinders, which
is necessary one with coal, is entirely
eliminated with the use of oil. The
wear and tear of the brick work of the
furnaces is much less, and the output
of the furnaces heated with oil is at
least 20 per cent greater than with the
coal furnace. The most important item

BOSTON VIEW OF CHICAGO.
Now the Rival May outstrip New
York as Commercial Center.

Years ago municipal rivalry existed
between Chicago and St. Louis, each
city putting forth the claim OF superl-
ority in population, trade and probable
future prominence. The time has now
long since passed when a rivalry Of
that kind could be established, as it
was shown that in the last two de-
cades the gains made in population
in ten years in Chicago were greater
than the entire population of the city
of ST. Louis Besides this the reports
of the clearing house of banking ope-
ratfons. the census reports of manu-
fact1lres and the trade reports of
commercial transactions all place Chi
cago in class entirely Independent of
and far in advance OF the Industrial
position occupied by st. Louis
At the present time such municipal
rivalry as exists in Chicago is directed
not westward but eastward and the
assertion is made that in certain re-

relating to the comparative value Of
the two fuels is the quality of the iron
produced from the scrap material. The
hammered iron for locomotive forgings
when produced from fuel oil is far
superior for conditions where there are
compression and tensile, vibrating and
torsional strains than iron heated by
coal. The comparative cost of the two
fuels at Sacramento, Cal, can be fig
ured by taking oil at cents a gallon
as equivalent to coal at IS a ton.

But Kansas City, rs, Bar
Tenders Are "Playing Wise. "
KNOW THE DETECTIVES

Assistant Attorney General
Mechanism Working Hard.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 28.-Although
the brewers, in putting the lid on have
cut off the supply, the "joinusts" have
pried the lid of just enough to work of
their stale beer. That is the supposition
at least, since it is known that men have
been seen going in and out of places
where Joints" were formerly located,
and that the brewers have quit selling
beer on the Kansas side Of the state
line The only other manner of OBJ
tanning beer is through shipments Of the
bottled stuff. and so far as Assistant
Attorney General McCamish knows this
has not been done.
Have Spoilers.
The appointment of at least five
Spoilers" who are daily making their
rounds over the city, watching for in
dicatiOns of a leak in the lid. is max
ing the sale of intoxicants extremely
perilOus. It is known that where there
is a suspicion Of intoxicants being sold,
guards are posted at the doors and no
one who has not the pass word or the
grip is allowed to 60 into the places.
The fact that the police department is
offering no interference to the violation
of the law, makes the ''jointkeepers'
Drawer, if anything, and as long as there
are no indications of a ''spotter'' in the
immediate vicinity, the sale of intOxi-
cants goes merrily on in some isolated
places.
William H. MECHANISM. who was re-
Gently appointed assistant attorney
general by Governor HOch, has learned
that the law is being violated since the
lid" was put on by the brewers. but
he has been unable to get any inside
Information or any evidence. His spot
ters are at work, however, and he ex-
pressed the opinion last night that be-
fore the week was ended he would have
evidence sufficient to convict a number
of "iOintists' who are said to be con-
tinuing to violate the law. He has made
several personal tours of inspection, but
has failed to find any indication that
the lid" has been pried open. His
Spoilers are known and when one of
them appears there is nothing doing, "
so it is possible that Mr.. McCamish
win have q difficult time obtaining any
Information to the effect that the law
is being violated.
JOintists Quiet Now.
Among the "iointists" it is said that
a concerted effort viii be made in the
near future to Dry the lid" off for
good. For the present, the majority of
them are Obeying the law, not volun-
tarily, perhaps, but because they can't
get the stuff to sell.
In Argentine and ROsedale it is pos
sible for the man who is next to get
a drink He must be a good fellow or
his efforts are useless. AS a rule, the
cid" is on tight in these suburbs.
