JERRY BLACK IS HERE.
says Mistake Was Made About Excs.r-
sion Announcements


Through unintentionaI mistakes on
the part Of Chicago newspaper. men
the situation in regard to the home
seeker excursions to be run through
the southwest during the summer and
fan has become somewhat befogged. .
said " J. Black. passenger trafie
manager of the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fe railway company. who was
IN town for few minutes this after
noon
When I left Chicago last night
neither the Rock Island nor any other
line running to the southwest had an
nounced that it would run weekly ex-
cursions instead OF bi-monthIy ones as
was decided on at the meeting of the
passenger associations on Monday.
Bi-monthly excursions are freouent
enough IN the opinion of most Of the
railroad men. and II was decided that
they should be run so at the meeting
on Monday. They will be run from
May to the last of November on the
first ard third Tuesdays of each
month and the fare for a return trip
will be on fare plus 50 with a maxi
mum fare from Chicago of S25 and
from the Missouri river points of $50
If any further move is made by any
of the lines for the running Of weekly
excursions it will be met bv the Santa
Fe, for we are as much interested in
the developme nt Of the southwest as
- - $3.50 eA4N tnC interests u
the southwest will be protected by the
Santa Fee
Mr.. Black IS en- route for California.

April II and Is. He arrived here this
afternoon on train No. and con-
tinued his journey on that train. Mr..
Black is accompanied by his wife. and
her many friends here viii be glad to
know that Mrs. Black is now able to
