Bishop Doane and Gentlemen: It is
a very great pleasure to me to receive

our public questions and public men, es-
p~ecially, are we apt to get their attention

p%ortance compared with the questions
that go straight to the root of things.
Questions like the tariff and the cur
rency are of literally no consequence
whatsoever compared with the vital
questions of having the unit of our social
life, the home. preserved. 1t is impossi-
bic to overstate the importance of the
husband and Wife fulfil their duties
toward one another and toward their
children, as Christianity teaches them,

most unpleasant and dangerous features
of our American life is the diminishing

families. It goes without saying that
for the race as for the individual. no

no artistic or scientific development, will

THE KANSAS CITY UNION DEPOT.
Now Looks ReasonaIy Certain That
so Million Depot Will Be Built.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 27.-The an
nuaI meeting of the Kansas City Depot
company was held in Chicago yester-
day and all of the officers and direc-
tors were reelected President WincheI
stated that they a practically decided
upon a depot site, but that it could not
be made public owing to h fact that
1t would be necessary to secure a great
deal of real estate.
1t was also stated that the plans
presented by J. P Barry, chief engineer
for the Union Pacific, had been APP
proved. These plans show a compre-
hensive arrangement of tracks which
will permit all of the Kansas City lines
to enter the new terminals.
Nothing has been determined regard
ing the union station except that there
will be thirty tracks which will make
it as large as the terminals in ST. Louis.
The latter have the credit of being the
largest in the world. No estimates
have been made regarding the aggre-
gate cost of the terminals but it will
probably not be less than $50, 0O0,0 D
The meeting was held in B. l..
WinchelT's office. 1t was an adjourned
session of the meeting called in Kansas
City for January 10. Representatives
of all the lines in the depot
except the Union Pacific were present.

site and the South side site at
Twenty-second and Grand avenue, Is
$40. GOO. 900 in favor of the Armour-Swift

CLAIM Poo1 EXISTED.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Divided
California Business.

New York, Jan. 27.-The American
prints what purports to be d copy of an
actual pooling agreement made between
the Southern Pacific company and the
Santa Fe, providing for q division of bust
ness and earnings. This agreement was
signed by ]. G. Stubs of the Southern Pa
cific and Paul Morton as an official of the
Southern California Railroad company,
the name of that part OF the Santa Fe
operating in California.
The agreement, in brief, shows that CAL
ifornia was divided into two by arbitrary
lines and that there was between the two
railroads a full arrangement as to rates,
commodities and points shipped to and
from. Each road has to report to the
other as to the bushes done and the ac-
tual rates collected The California ship
pers were absolutely at the mercy of these
At the time the agreement was signed
it was in violation of two distinct laws
the Sherman antitrust and the interstate
law. Both laws provided at
that time for a punishment by a fine of
5000 and Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. In the case of the Sherman anti
trust law Imprisonment would have been
for one year, and in the case of the in
t~erstate commerce law imprisonment
years. Legal experts say that neither
Stubs nor Morton can be prosecuted, be-
cause the offense, which the agreement
indicates they are guilty of, has been out
lawed by the statute of limitations.
Tariff Director Stubs of the Southern
Pacific has always denied with emphasis
that his road has any pooling agreement
with the Santa Fe or any other sort OF
agreement.

YOAKUNI's PLANS.
VIII Spend 40 Millions in Texas if Laws
Are Not Changed.

Fort Worth. Tex, Jan. 27.-The state
ment IS made here that, in the event TO
legislation inimical to the making Of rail-
road Investments in the state of Texas is
enacted by the present legislature y. f.
YOakum, chairman OF the board OF the
Frisco system, will head a syndicate that
will spend between $30,00o,OO and $4o,0OO,00O
in railroad construction in this state with
in the next Is months. PrO1ects now I'M
der way that are being backed by Mr..
Yoakum are gigantic in proportions. Brief
" stated, Mr.. Noakum now has his at
fairs in such shape that he will, should
no drastic legislation be enacted by the
present session of the legislature, uild
the following lines of railroad:
1. He will extend the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande road from Brady to San An
2. He will take over the Trinity and
Brazos Valley road now running between
this piece of property he will make two
extensions, one to Orange and one to
8. He viii extend the St. Louis, crowns
vile and Mexico road through from RObS-
town to Houston and Galveston, and will
make a further extension OF the line from
a point between Robstown and Houston
to San Antonio.
4. He will develop the flats owned by
the Rock Island company-the holding
company of the Rock Island and the Fris-
co r~aiIroads-on Galveston island. and will
build an imnense system of docks there.
5. He Will extend the Trinity and Bra
EOS Valley from Cleburne to Primrose,
connecting with the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande road to get into this city. Pending
this construction, the Texas and Brazos
Valley Will come into this city over the
tracks of the Santa Fe.
The foregoing is all that is known re-
garding the plans of Mr.. YOakum. In as
much as he recently acquired the Cripple
Creek road, and, according to reliable re-
ports, will be elected to a dictatorship in
the Colorado and Southern road, it is but
natural to assume that he will also be the
dominating factor in the Fort Worth and
Denver City road: Such being the case,
Mr.. Yoakum will have the entire western
territory to draw from for tonnage to
feed his gulf line.
