SULLIVAN HITS BACK.
Says Bryan Is Not Bigger Than the
Democratic Party.

Chicago. Aug 13.=National Com
mitteeman Sullivan when interviewed
today as to Mr.. Bryan's latest utter
ances declared, there was no truth in
them. s'Mr. Bryan got all of his in
formation from Mr.. Dunlap and Is do
ing what Mr.. Dunlap wants him to do.
All the information he has about the
Illinois situation re has received from
Dunlap and Thompson. He is fighting
their battles-battles that they can not
fight for themselves.
His statement is not true as to the
control of the state convention two
years ago, as to the national commit
lee or as to the committee on creden-
tials- Mr.. Bryan is not bigger than the
entire Democratic party
Mr.. Sullivan referred to a letter
which he said Mr.. Bryan had written
to Ben NJ. Caldwell, Democratic nom
inee for congress in the Twenty-frst
district, in which letter he said Mr..
Bryan admitted that he had received
all of his information from Dunlap.
That letter. said Mr.. Sullivan, was
proof of his assertions.
The letter from Mr.. Bryan to Mr..
Caldwell follows:
North British Station Hotel Glas-
gov, July 19--Mr- Dear Mr.. Caldwell:
Mr. Dunlap has brought me your mes
sage and hasten to say that 1 shall be
glad to come into your district If en-
gagements viii permit this and I shall
try to so arrange them that they will
permit. In promising this I assume, of
course, that the rank and file will re-
gain control of the organization as I
have not felt that I could consistently
speak there under the auspices of a
state organization that foistered itself
upon the party through force and eraud.
am confident, however. that your COM
ing state convention will in spite of
the harmony cry. purify the organiza-
ton and make the party deserving of
public confidence. With best wishes

Owing to the absence of Mr.. Hopkins

PAY DIVIDENDS.
No Interference With Distribu-
tiOn Of Santa Fe Earnings.
Cost of Double Tracking to Be
Met by Increase.

Chicago. Aug 13-Omcials of the
Santa Fe announce that the cost of
double tracking the road from Topeka
to Chicago viii not be allowed to inter-
fere in any way with the payment of
dividends. The decision to double track
the line is not a new one. II will not
be accomplished Immediately. and the
cost of the work will be spread over
several years. In fact, at the rate earn
ings are increasing from year to year.
the increase, with the reduction of the
ratio of operating expenses which con-
Stantly is being accomplished, would be
Suhctent to pay for the Improvement.
The fiscal year which closed June 80
was the best, so far as earnings are
concerned, in the roads history Dur
ing the entire year the monthly sta te-
ment of earnings showed large in
creases, while the ratio of operating ex-
penses was materially reduced. For tie
year as a whole the total increase in
gross earnings was nearly $4,000. 600,
ses was only s., 0S0 000. The increase in
net earnings was So 500, 900.
East of the Missouri river the Santa
Fe has 454 miles of track, of which 112
are double tracked. During the current
year 55 miles more will be double track
ed east of the Missouri and % more
viii be graded ready to receive the
steel at the beginning of next year. In
1907 the plans are TO grade 106 miles,
SO of which will have the steel laid
SO that by the end of next year there
will be little more than 100 miles to be
graded and 200 miles to be laid with
steel to give the road double track
from Chicago to the Missouri river
West of the Missouri river the road is
now double tracked to five miles beyond
/ Newton, Kan.
While earnings of the road last year
heat all previous records, they are GER
tain to be left IN the rear the coming
year. July earnings We're away ahead
of those of June, and those of August
will be greatly in excess of those OF
July The reduction in the ratio of op-
Grating expenses is the direct outcome
of the physical Improvements which
have been in progress since the reor-
ganization of the company.
