The room designated as the city hall
was packed to sufocation There was
no standing room available.
The proceedings were watched with
eagerneSs
Several witnesses were examined

charges OF neglect of duty. lack of dis
ciplne, failure to enforce the laws and
ordinances OF the city, embracing OBJ

A UNION PACIFIC MOVE.
Shops at Armstrong to Be Located at
junction City.

Kansas City, Kan, June 27-The gem
eraI repair shops of the Union Pacific
railway are to be moved from Arm
strong to Junction City, Kan. The
railway company will, however, main
tain local repair shops and an extern
sive terminal system in Kansas City
and these will employ almost as many
men as are now employed at Arm
strong.
This announcement was made by A.
L Mohler of Omaha, vice president and
general manager of the Union Pacific
railway. at a meeting of railway Off
Gals and business men held in the
Mercantile club rooms here. The meet
ing was called by the Mercantile club
in the hope of persuading the Union
Pacific to locate the shops at Muncie,
Kan N H LOOMS and ]. o. Brinlser-
hoff were the other Union Pacific rep
resentatives present.
The railway officials informed the
club members that there was no hope
of establishing the shops at Muncie and
that all efforts along that line were
useless The railway is now purchas-
ing land near Muncie, but it is to be
system.
Were forced to seek another place
for the shops because the land now oc-
cupied by them is needed for terminal
purposes said Mr.. Mohler. ''It is
more advantageous to have shops near
the center of a division, so Junction
City was selected
Mr.. Mohler said the plans for the
shops at Junction City were not fin
ished but about 1900 men would be
employed there.
