BIG IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Santa Fe Preparing TO Handle Crowds
at Albuquerque.

Santa Fee Preparing TO Handle Crowds
at Albuquerque.
The Santa Fe road is making elabor-
ate preparations for the handling of
the passengers to the National Irriga-
ton congress which meets in Albu-
querque from September 20 to Octo-
Der 3, inclusive. This promises to be
the biggest industrial event of the
year. Foreign governments will be
represented and will IN this way keep
in touch with the progress of irrigation
in the west. The federal government
has taken an active interest in irriga-
ton and will have representatives
present in the interests of the reclama-
ton work.
The Santa Fe will run many excur-
sions for the benefit of those who at
lend the congress. Some of these ex-
cursions will be run to Mesilla valley
to show what has been done on the
Elephant Butte dams. Excursions will
be run to Pecos valley to show what
irrigation has Dlished in that
section. Other excursions will be run
to Ration and Springer for the same
purpose.
The meeting of this big congress will
be of further interest as there will be
grand military display in Albuquer
que on the same date. The territorial
militia Of New Mexico will hold their
annual encamDment and several bat
talions of federal troops will be there
The territorial fair and agricultural
exhibit will take place during the same
period. The increased interest in irri-
CATION projects in the southwest will
serve 20 draw attention to the lrriga-
ton projects of western Kansas and
eastern Colorado as well, and it is ex-
pected that many from the western
rates for this big congress will be an
nOuQced later.

no possibility that it will be located
either at Winfield or Arkansas City.
The officials of the company at Topeka
told Mr.. Hunter that the new hospital
will not be located east or north of
Wellington and that it may go farther
southwest. Mr.. Hunter informed the
Santa F'e representatives on behalf of
the local Commercial club that yelling

the railroad company that it will be

ing of the new line Of the Illinois
Central into Birmingham, Ala, where
it connects with the Central Of
Georgia, just why discrimination
against the west should continue is
what the Interstate Commerce COM
mission will be asked to settle.
The question of freight rates which
long have been applied between Chi
cago and New York to southeastern
markets has been considered by the
Interstate Commerce commission pc
fore but when that body had not the
right to enforce it's rulings. The
case came up as long ago as 1894,
when the commission decided that the
rates in question were discriminatory.

TAXICAB GUARDS
FIREINTOCROWD
AND KILL BOY
Special Policemen" Shoot
From Auto in New York
NO ATTACK MADE ON THEM
Bullets Shatter Windows and Panic
Prevails Among People In
the Vicinity.

New York, Oct. S.--Two large tour
ing cars, containing a dozen of the
special policemen" employed by the
New York Iaxicab Company to de-
fend them from striking chauffeurs,
opened fire in West 57th street at 81:
30 last night, throwing the crowds on
the sidewalks into a panic, Kidding
the windows of the private residences
and killing a IA year old boy.
The police and citizens who were
witnesses to the entire occurrence say
that there was no attack of any kind
on the special policemen" in the two
touring cars and that the shooting was
entirely without reason. Two men
have been arrested for participating in
the shooting, and they themselves
told the police when pressed for an
explanation, that one shot had been
fired at the touring cars from a house
as they passed by in the street
Ever since the New York Taxicab
company has been trying to break the
strike of its chauffeurs it has been US
ing the old malt house at 5ll West
Fiftyseventh street, as lodging
house for its strike breakers.
Last night two large, silver colored
school" taxicabs left the malthouse,
each containing half a dozen strike
breaking chauffeurs and special pol
ice. The two cars went through 57th
street eastward They passed Police
man Barron at the corner Of Tenth
Avenue and crossed Ninth avenue.
Just as they came opposite 40S West
Fifty-seventh street, which is a Mrs.
c. II. Gordon's employment agency
and boardngeplace for nurses, Police
man Barron saw the flashes and heard
the reports OF fully half a dozen shots.
The flashes according to Barron,
came. not from one side, but from
both sides of the car. Barron ran
forward in time TO find the whole
street in confusion and fourteen year
old Robert Quailey of 40 West 57th
street lying dying on the sidewalk.
