MUST HAVE
BETTER RAILS
Hartman to Lead the Fieh
Against the Steel Cor
pOratlOn
BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Presa

NEW YORK. June &c. II. Harri-
man in the role of a defender Of the
people hurting his gauntlet down be-
fore the giant Steel Trost. is the pie
ture unveiled following the virtual
ultimatum Of the American Railway
Association to the United states Steel
Corporation, demanding better and
more reliable rails.
IL developed to-day that the associa-
tion, composed of the executive heacs
and operating officials of the great
railway systems Of the country ard
representing 100000 miles Of railway.
has appointed a special committee to
deal with the steel corporation in an
effort to procure better rails, the great
number of wrecks of the last year hav-
Ing proven beyond a doubt to be at
tributable chiefly TO inforior rails.
Scored the Trust
It is said that the source of the
trouble was generally recognized for "a
long time, but that none of the rail-
ways dare antagonize the powerfal
steel trust Then came Hartman to
the front.
when the lives os the passengers
on the Southern Pacific are more than
a necessity foe dividends on steel
stocks"
This Is thenoble sentiment attributed
to the dittle gian), but whether he
voiced It or not II is certain that ne
took the bull by the horns by switch
ing an order for 15O.0O0 tons Of rail to
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company.
virtually the only independent plant iu
the country, and by so doing pro-
claimed his independence to the Steel
Trust.
Charles NJ Schwab. former head of
the Steel Trust. is quoted to-day as
frankly admitting that the rails turned
out to-day are poor in quality and
dangerous. He SAYS that the Besse-
NOR process, now in use. must he sup-
planted by the open-hearth system.
and that a high-price rail must be
manufactured, the rails which were
formerly satisfactory being no lonper
adequate to the demands made upon
them by the heavier traffic condl-
tions.
No Relief From Europe
The price Of rail in Europe to-day
is virtually the same as in this coun-
try and railroad men say that no re-
lief could be obtained by purchasing
abroad. The sole course open lies in
the rectifcation of the Steel Trust s
methods of manufacturing and in the
substitution of better material.
Realizing this the railroads have
banded together TO force the trust to
turn out some rail that can be de-
pended upon. The committee appoint
ed to fight the matter out with the
trust is made ur as follows:
G. l.. Peck. general manager Penn

They call the man that's running bases
lame,
They think the catcher's judgment some

men care for a cigar with a
pretty band, indeed, most
everyone throws the bands
away before lighting the cigar,

Santa Fe Will Be i'm New Orleans
by Sept /.
Arrangements Completed for
Its Terminal There.

Eventually A. T. & S. f. Will
Eventually A. T. & S. f. Will
Have a Line of Its Own.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

! ARRANGEMENTS have been completed
| by the Sante Fe road for getting into
| New Orleans by September, when II
will establish a new route between the
| Crescent City and the Pacific ocean.
1t has made a traffic agreement with
the Gould lines, which will enable II
to accomplish it's object in this direc-
ton. Under the agreement referred
to Sante Fe traffic for, New Orleans
will be routed from Oakdale to Alex
andria by the st. Louis. Watkins and
Gulf road and from Alexandra to
New Orleans by the Texas and Pac1hc.
The Sante Fe will build two lines, one
of which will furnish a direct line
from its Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory, Nebraska and Missouri
lines to connect them with its new en-
trance to New Orleans. The other
line will connect it's San Angelo line
with its main system to San Fran
cisco.
The first of these lines will be built
from Center, Texas, to Tulsa, Ind. T.,
the preliminary merging of the line
to Center and the line between Long
view and Waterman having removed
the legal difficulties that stood in the
way. The Santa Fe line to New Or
leans will practically parallel the
Kansas City Southern, which plans to
enter New Orleans from Leesville.
The Santa Fee will give a short line
tory of the southwest to New Orleans,
and make that place a still more i'm
portant point for exporting grain than
it is at present
Not only will this be the case, but
the other extension of the Santa Fe,
which will furnish the connecting link
in the transcontinental route through
New Orleans will be from 800 to 400
miles shorter than the Southern Pa
cific's route. 1t will be built from
Coleman Junction or Brownwood to
TexicO. AS we'll as being the short
est. this will be one of the fastest and
easiest operated transcontinentaI
routes for both freight and passenger
traffic.
The traffic arrangement with the
Gould lines is not intended to be per-
manent The Santa Fe is making ar
rangements to build its own line into
New Orleans from Oakdale. This ex-
tension will probably be built along
the west bank of the river, but of
course its construction will be a mat
ter requiring considera BILE time, and
as the Santa Fe wanted to get into
New Orleans Immediately, it gladly
availed itself of the opportunity
which presented itself of making a
traffic agreement with the Gould
lines. From the beginning of its op-
Grafton the new route Will offer for
Pacific, and break the monopoly
which until now that road has enjoy
ed as the only existing through route
from the gulf to the Pacific coast
Perhaps. in view of the recent report
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, its advent will not excite the hos
tility which it might otherwise.

TO TAX TWO PER CENT JOINTS.
4 Move That Is Expected to Take
Place at LeaVenWOrth.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 26.-It is
reported on good authority that Mayor
Ever hardy is seriously considering a
tax of $50 a month on all y per cent
joints in LeavenwOrth and City At
torney VENDOR will obtain q copy of
the ordinance recently passed in Atchi-
son taxing these places that amount.
The cities of Pittsburg and Wichita
are said to have such ordinances and
the attorney general has been asked
to pass upon the question whether or
not - per cent" may be sold without
it being looked upon as a violation of
the law. As yet his decision has not
been rendered.
City Attorney Wendorff is of the
opinion that Leavenworth could very
safely pass such an ordinance and the
proba bilities are that such will be
drawn up and offered the city council
for its approval.
1t is also said Mayor Everhardy is
not in favor of the occupation tax ordi-
nance and would welcome tax of the
% per cents if he were sure it would
not be q violation of the injunction
placed upon the city and the restrain
ing order enjoining it and him from col
lecting fines.

y CHECK FOR TWO CENTS.
Drawn in Favor of an Indian and
Reaches a Wichita Bank.

Wichita, July 26.-The smallest bank
check ever received at the National
Bank of Wichita came into its possession
through the mail. 1t was for two cents,
and was drawn on the First National
bank of Ell Reno. Ok, July 10. in favor
of Capitola Webster. A notation on
one end of the check states that it is
Indian Deposit Money" the two cents
being a balance in this fund due Cap
ltola Webster. 1t has the 20. K.'' of
Charles E. Shea, superintendent and
agent, and is witnessed by Herbert
Walker and Dick Birdshead.
On the reverse side of the check is
the endorsement of Capitola Webster,
her signature being witnessed by Her
bert Walker and John P. Logan. On
the margin at the top some facetious
bank clerk has written: please don't
protest"
This check had passed through four
banks before IT reached this city and
in the natural course of business will
pass through two or three more before it
finds its way back to the place where 1t
was drawn and where it will be taken
up.

GOING BACK TO EUROPE.
Russian With $1.7OO in His Belt VIII
Not Sleep En- Route.

Wichita, Kan, July 26.-Max Blum,
the Russian who suffered the loss of
his right hand at the Western Planning
mill recently, left yesterday over the
Rock Island on his way to Liverpool.
While Mr.. Blum was getting his
ticket he appeared very nervous and
excited. He kept glancing around the
room. cycling every person who came
near Diligent inquiry developed the
fact that he had $1,7O0 in currency on
his person.
Asked why he did not procure a
draft Blum said he was afraid to send
money in that way. but preferred to
carry it with him. He had the money
tucked in a pouch suspended to belt
which was fastened around his waist.
The Russian bought his ticket via
Montreal. and is going to take a Cana
dian Pacific steamer to Liverpool. as
he said he was afraid of American
ships.
Friends pointed out to Blum the
folly and danger in carrying so large
sum of money on his person, but he
avowed he would keep awake most of
the time. One of his most startling de-
clarations was that he did not intend
to sleep a wink While crossing the wa
ter.
