Today a peaceful stiffness has
reigned within the circuit court room
at the court house and II is the first
day in many weeks that such a con-
dition has existed.
With the conclusion of the Swayze-
Means case yesterday afternoon the
court finished its work for this time
and the jurors were discharged. How
ever seven were still retained upon
the panel so that a special jury may
be summoned before next term
should such be desired. 1t is inti-
mated that this will be done the lat
ter part of November or in Decem-
ber for the purpose of clearing up
the docket.
Among the cases to come up yet
are those against the Walla Walla
sheepmen, who are under indictment
for having driven their bands across
the line into this state without first
notifying the proper authorities so that
inspections could be made. 1t is
probable that the facts in those cases
will be stipulated.
The cases against A. Perard, the
sheepman, have been continued until
next term and the case of Mrs. Mabel
Warner has likewise been postponed.
Within the past few days several new
criminal cases have appeared, but
these will either be settled without
trials or will be held until another
jury is called.
For some time during November
the court room will be occupied by
the supreme court, which will be
here for its fall session. Circuit
Judge Bean and District Attorney
Phelps will be in Morrow county dur
ing a portion of November for the
iury session thera

THE PENSION SYSTEM
OF THE SANTA Fl
Was Devised 20 Promote 4 Loyalty
CT Employees which President Ripley
Says Is Lacking.

Chicago, Jan. tone OF the most
serious conditions which the country
is facing today is the indifference and
disregard which the employe has for
interests of his employer
This statement was made today by
E. 2. Ripley. president of the Santa Fe
in telling the reasons which led the
company TO establish the pension sys-
TEN affecting nearly 10000 employees.
The Santa Fe," continued Mr. Rip
ley. hopes to establish an esprit du
corps among its employees and expects
a liberal pension system will have this
tendency. We have on this system as
much. if not more loyalty than most
railroads enjoy. but it is not what it
should be Lack of loyalty among
employees is a condition from which all
cofpoi ations suffer. and presents a
most serious problem"
ANhen asked for the reason of this
condition Mr.. Ripley said: TOO much
prosperity or at elast too much busi-
ness. The demand for labor for all
classes of the employed was never so
great and never before did the supply
fall so short of the demand The de-
mand become so sharp in the railway
service that many employees have as
sumed a scornful independence and do
not seem TO care about the interests of
employers"

Chicago, Ills, Jan. 4-The railroad
presidents today made a personal APP
peal To the Chicago Commercial as
sociation to aid in friendly attempt to
improve existing transportation condi-
tions and to relieve the present car

fair to the railroads and positive injury
to shippers.
While negotiations were being made
a committee of shippers representing
forty associations in twenty states in
session here declared for reciprocal de
murrage by adopting a reOlutiOn de-
claring that congress should pass fed
eral law endorsing and making it the
duty of the interstate commerce COM

The document in part follows: The
extravagant militarism in the program
Of the coming jamestown Exposition
IS developed and disclosed during the
last few months is a profound shock
to the great body OF the American peo-
pie.
We believe a knowledge of this pro-
gram has come to thTee-quarters of the
American people as a great surprise. It
is program utterly different from that
given when the plan of the exposition
was first submitted to the public.
THAT an international naval military
celebration was to have cGnspicious
place in the exposition program as
provided by congress was well known

Toes to make this great exposition pri-

FLYNN GOT DECISION.

Los Angeles. Jan. 4.-Jim Flynn OF
Pueblo won the decision from Jack
Twin" Sullivan Cf Boston before the
Pacific Athletic club tonight. after
twenty as terrific rounds as have ever
been seen in the local prize ring. No
such vicious fighting by men Of these
weights has been seen here before.
Flynn won the decision on his agsres-
siveness and terrible punching and his
ability to take punishment
Sullivan's cleverness saved hiIl
many times throughout the fight and
undoubtedly he out pointed Flynn. The
referee was doubtless influenced II
his decision by Sullivans alleged un-
fair fighting in several of the rounds.
Neither man was knocked down during
the fight. but both took a world Of
punishment. The feature of Flynn :
fighting was straight leads for the
head and face.
