FOR FREIGHT USE

Wichita. Kan, Oct. 24.-The Eagle
says:
1t has been expected by the people
living along the line of the Santa Fe
between Newton and Albuquerque that
the Belen cutoff would be open for pas
senger traffic this fall or winter. AS Il
matter of face there will be no through
passenger train or regular freight trains
running over the cutoff before April of
next year.
1t seems hard to put back a progress
sive time card bat the men Who run the
Santa Fe railroad have decided the
question and it will be impossible for
other people not employed by the rail-
road to change the time card and the
work of the construction
j. F. Hurley, general of the
Santa Fe-and it Will be admitted by
the most enthusiastic boomers of the
Belen cutoff that he has something to
say abou the running of the rains
says that there will be no regular trains
over the Belen cutoff until spring.
Not long e. the division superintend-
ents and the trainmastcrS of the Santa
Fe met in Topeka and decided on a
new time card. 1t did not include any
trains for the proposed cutoff because
the work was not complete.
Mr.. Hurley stated to one of the men
closely allied with the railroad business
tina there would be no trains running
regularly over the Belen cutoff until
next spring.
The work of construction is in the
hands of the construction and
the railroad company has not received
the work as completed. Until the San
TIA Fe accepts the work there will be no
changes in the running of the trains"
he said THE Santa Fe has contract
ed for the work from Texico west. and
it will not accept the work until it IS
done and turned owe to the Santa Fe.
Until that time we will ave nothing to
do with the time ard for the train run-
ming on the line.
THE line will be used for the freight
traffic at first and in time. when the
road is satisfactory, regular passenger
and freight schedules will be establish
ed. but that will not be before next
spring.
The country or the cutoff as far west
as the Pecos river is settling ND randi
" and the people are demanding a reg
ular train service. They are entitled
to it, as they were induced BY the rail-
road to invest their money in the land
in that country.
To give some idea of the rapid settle
ment OF this country it may be stated

ture, an incentive and a spirit that
would make it more usual-that would
give to the workman, the clerk, the
employe of every kind. an opportunity
to individually share in the growth of
n enterprise to which he is attached.
This is not a mere phiIanthropic
dream.
The Spirit Will Come.
THE spirit will come when the en-
ploye feels that what he gets, he gets
as a matter of contract, not as a mat
ter of gift, and is as secure therein as
is the corresponding interest of the
employer; and when the employer
wakes UP TO the truth, that as it is not
by bread alone that men live, it is not
for bread alone that men put forth
their best work; and the incentive
may be supplied by the application Of
those well known powers of taxation;
that instead of being wholly directed
toward transferring to the government
a part of the successful, could be en-
loyed to bring about a wider diffusion
of the permanent fruits of success
among those who by their b had
contributed to the success. This is
not socialism. 1t may have the philan-
thropic spirit of socialism,; but in its
end n aim, it is the antidote of so
cialism-in any long look ahead. the
only antidote on which individualism
can securely rely.
When the president in his Pro-
vincetown speech committed himself
to the national Incorporation of ma
tional enterprises, he took the first Of

his determination to make every inter-
est obey the law. the president has
justly earned the confidence of the
country. But in this later step, he
has made for himself a formative
place in the great transformation that
is to eventually restore to the people
of America the direct ownership and
control of the property of America.
For that ownership they are prepared
with the financial means-it is only
because the corporation, as the neces-
sary owning intermediary. has not de-
served the peoples confidence, that
the wealth of the country, as Mr..
Schiff says, has been pouring like
mountain streams into the great Wall
street reservoir. For that ownership,
they have an nborn instinct. And to
that ownership, they have,

poration, a legal means that is at once

another not negotiable, one for perish

perishable products. Although the
hearings on the uniform bill of lading
nave Just closed here, and although

SOUTHERN IRON
 MARKET IS DULL
MANUFACTURERS ARE oPTIMlS- TIC, HOWEVER, AND EXPECT A CHANGE FOR BETTER WITH BE- GINNING OF ANOTHER YEAR.

Chattanooga, December 15.-The Trades man says of southern iron and steel mar ket conditions:
 The southern pig iron market is dull. Prospects continue bright and manufac- turers are anxiously waiting for the turn of the year when it is believed there will be a change The production has been curtailed further by the blowing out of furnaces of the Southern Steel company. Consumption has been reduced again by the shutting down of one of the large foundries and machine shops at Bessener. Other foundries and machines shops in the southern territory are either running on short time or have shut down alto gether. The cast iron pipe plants in the Alabama district, with the exception of the Sheffield plant, are still running, and are consuming on the quiet an amount of iron.

A Complicated Mix-Up.

Columbus, Ga., December 15.-(Special.) J. A young man of good appearance, giv- ing the name of John Lee, went to Gil- bert's stables in this city and rented a horse and buggy for the day Night came but the young man did not, and the next morning the towns in this sec tion were notified by telephone to look out for him. He was arrested yesterday at Opelilsa, Ala, by Sheriff John l.. Moon of Lee county, and it was found that he had sold the horse to a man in that city for S75. During the morning the purchaser swapped the horse for another animal and $50 in money. In the meantime the young man who had carried the horse to Opelika spent por- ton of the $75 he had received for a suit of clothing. It was thus rather a complicated state of affairs that MT. Gilbert had to untangle when he went to Opelilxa, but the net result of it all was that the horse swap was cancelled, the $50 was returned, the suit of clothing was given back to the merchant and he refunded S15, the $75 was given to the bert was given his property and the young man was placed in jail on the charge of bringing stolen property into the coun- ty He gave the name of John Allen at Opelilka, but 1t seems that his real name is Charlie Chappell and that he is an Alabamian.

WOMEN TAKE TO
 CIGARETTE SMOKING
DEMAND FOR SWEETS IS STEAD ILY GROWING SMALLER, AND FAIR SEX IS EATING HOT DISH- ES WITH GUSTO.

New York, December 15.-The start ling announcement has been made that cigarettes are supplanting the many sweets served /in womens clubs and restaurants in New York city.
 For some time the demand for sweets has been growing smaller The women have developed a taste for savories, they eat with gusto such spiced and seasoned dishes as would have posi- lively anrighted them 20 years ago, and actually punished their delicate palates.
 To the cigarette habit which is growing on women to a remarkable eX- tent is assigned the cause. A quarter of a century ago 1t was the exception rather than the rule to find women publicly drinking spirits, whereas whisky and soda is now freely taken at table in public restaurants, by quite young women.
 Again for years women were rated for feeding themselves in unsuitable fash ion. Buns and teas were supposed to satisfy the gastronomic taste of any one of the sex and in consequence they were unmercifully "chaffed." de- rided, upbraided. Then women grew holder. They took violent exercise they grew in statue and gastronomic wisdom. They copied the superior sex They followed their lead in athletics in the use of nerve soothing tobacco and in the craving for strong meats both liquid and solid.
 And now men are grumbling that women are not satisfied with sugary confections or comforted with innu- merable chocolates.

COLOMBIAN DEVELOPMENT Extension of River aviuation--Influx
 of German Capital.

Washington, December 15.-(Special.) J. Consul Isaac A. Manning, in the follow ing report from Cartagena, shows the en- ergy which German capitalists are exhib- iting in developing commercial and indus trial opportunities in the republic of Co., lombia:
 President Reyes has issued a memoran- dunn respecting navigation and improve ment of the Magdalena river and its tributaries In carrying out the proposals involved it is said that MT Luis Gieseck- en, of Barranquilla, has purchased the boats belonging to the Compania Colom biana de Trasportes the Empresa Han seatica, and the Empresa Perez Rosa, and will combine them with boats be- longing to the Empresa Giesecken. An offer was made to the British owners Of the Magdalena Steamboat company, but as it did not also include their railway interests they refused to sell. Owing to a statement made fin certain section of the memorandum, the owners of the Magdalena Steamboat company feel that they will, at least under their concession, be allowed to continue operating on the river. and they also have little doubt they will be extended the same privileges granted the new company, So far as gov- ernment bonus is concerned. Any other. action on the part of the government, it is said here, would be considered as dis crimination against the commerce of Car tagena in favor of its rival port, Barran- quilla.
 It is hoped by this plan to fix stable rates and reduce the present competition to a condition of profit earning on the part of the two competitive companies. It is declared by MT. Giesecken that the purchase has been made for a syndicate of German capitalists, although there are rumors that local Colombian capital is also interested in the matter.
 It is evident that a great quantity of German capital is coming into Colombia for investment in various ways. Ger mans now control the tobacco crop of Co., lombia and it Is said will attempt to do the same with the cotton crop. It is be- ing largely invested in transportation lines and banking, MT Giesecken having recently put large sum into the Banco Central, the principal banking institution of Colombia, and the company most inti- mately connected with the liquor, manu- factured tobacco, and various other mo- nopolies.

TWO MEN ARE HELD
 IN MURDER CASE
MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH OF ROBERT ABRAMS, WHOSE BODY IS FOUND IN THE HOME OF HIS SWEETHEART'S FATHER.

Philadelphia, December 15.-Pending an investigation into the death of Robert Abrams, young Hebrew at the home of his sweetheart in the southern section of the city. Abraham Brosslov, a canter Tn the Ahavath Israel synagogue, and Levin Pressman, were held by the coroner here today as material witnesses in a homi- eide case"
 Abrams, who was baker, was paying court to Bessie. the 17-year-old daughter of Pressman, in whose house he was found dead on Thursday. After the death members of the family, including Bross- lov, moved out of the house. They re- ported the case to a policeman, saying Abrams had died suddenly. When the coroner's physician went to examine the body he found that the young man died of strangulation.
 The members of the family told con- flicting stories. Pressman said he found Abrams body lying on the floor when he came downstairs on Thursday morn ing, and later he said he found the body hanging to a door knob. The police off cials believe that Abrams was murdered

FIFTH AVENUE IS
 BEING INVADED
NEW WORKS FASHIONABLE THOR OUGHFARE MAY BECOME RIVAL OF WALL STREET IN FINANCIAL LIFE OF THE METROPOLIS.

New York, December 15.-Fifth avenue, the thoroughfare of pleasure and show, is on the point of becoming a banking stronghold. Plans for the Columbia bank building north of Forty-second street. on the east side of the avenue, and for the flew Second National bank at Twenty eighth street, have called attention to the invasion of the territory of fashion by the army of finance.
 The Knickerbocker Trust company IS at the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty fourth street, opposite the Waldorf-As- toria. On the busiest stretch of Fifth avenue are seven big financial institutions. There are the Second Manhattan (now at Twenty-third street., the Knicker- booker Trust at Thirty-fourth, the Co., lumbia at Forty-second, the Fifth Ave nue Trust at Forty-third, the Night and Day bank at Forty-fourth, the Windsor Trust at Forty-seventh, and the Plaza bank at Fifty-eighth. One of these as indicated by it's name, does not observe regular banking hours but keeps open all the time.
 Real estate men prophecy that Fifth avenue will grow in importance as a New Wall street." More banks will probably be established there in the next few years.
 The building of the Second National bank at Twenty-eighth street will be erected very rapidly, so that it may be occupied on the first day of next July. It is to be of the standard steel-and- hollow tile type, like the latest sky scrapers downtown. the frame being of steel and the column covering, floors and partitions of hollow tile. The architects decided upon this combination not only because of its fre-ressting qualities. but because it allows rapidity of construc- tion,

BULGARIA SENDS NOTE.
Denies Charge of Participation in Dis
 turbances at Macedonia.

St. Petersburg, December 15.-The Bull garian government has sent a note to Russia in answer to the recent represen- tations made by the Russian minister at Sofia with reference to the activity of Bulgarian bands in Macedonia. The note denies that the residents of the princi- pality are participating in these activities, and states that Bulgaria reposes entire trust in the powers to introduce adequate reforms in Macedonia.
 Bulgaria launches a counter complaint against the Greek bands composed of Cre- tans, which, it declares, is carrying on a propaganda of fire and sword. The sta tistics fors the month of October show that 2SS persons were murdered.

DRY DAY IN NEW ORLEANS.
Saloons Are Closed on Sunday for the'
 First Time in Many Years.

New Orleans, December 15.-To se-I cure an alcoholic drink in New Orleans, today Identification of some sort was very generally necessary. Those who could produce satisfactory proof as to intentions were admitted past saloon doors, many of which were otherwise securely locked.
 Some saloons closed entirely, and for the first time in several years, the city saloons lost completely the wide open look which has come to be thought of as a sequence of the semi-tropical cli- mate.
 Todays strict observance was caused by an order of Police Inspector Whita- ker to his men to make arrests when ever they saw violations. The effect of the order has been very generally to stop carousrng of any sort, and es- pecially to induce sobriety among the large negro population.
