asked to- day concerning the state
ment attributed to George j. Gould.
that the commission is to blame for
placing the International & Great

Chairman Mayheld declared he had
not authorized any statement con-
corning the receivership.
''It was no surprise to me- said
Commissioner Co1Quitt. ct heard ten

placed in the hands of a friendly re-

Is not to blame for the receivership.
Blame is on the management of the

as much now as it did when 1t was in

evidently wants to continue to en-
danger the lives of the people of

FURTHER RETRENCHMFyNT
Runiored That Santa E'e VIII Abolish
Position of Trainn1asfer

According to a rumor which has been
printed in the Chanute papers and
which has been generally circulated
around the Southern Kansas division
ter will be abolished and the duties
Of this position would be added to those
Of the assistant superintendent. Cen
eral Superintendent F. G.. Fox Of the
eastern grand division under whose
Jurisdiction this matter would come
refused to talk upon the matter when
it was presented to him. The following
rumor is from the Chanute Tribune:
It is understood that the Santa Fe
Railroad company has abolished the
position Of trainmaster on the South
ern Kansas division. The order is to
become effective March 1, it Is under
stood. The work which has been look
ed after by the trainmaster will be
turned over to the assistant superin-
tendent.
The office of trainmaster here was
created three or four years ago. 1t
has been held ever since by J. c. Ram
sey. Mr.. Ramsey, it is understood, will
resume work as a conductor and will
take run on 203 and 204 The change
is likely to take him and his wife away
from Chanute, as it is said that he Is
planning to move to Tulsa to make his
home. Their many friends will regret
that this is to be a result Of the
change.
It is not presumed that the change
will affect the office force now en-
ployed in the trainmaster's depart
ment. 1t is presumed that the only
change in this regard will be that As
sistant Superintendent j. T. Mentally,
who will have the trainmaster's duties
added to his will move from his office
down the hall and take the quarters
which have been occupied by Trainmas-
ter Ramsey.
Mr.. Ramsey is the Oldest conductor on
wi Of n
of service. 1t was this seniority which
entitled him to the Office of tra1nmas-
ter, when it was created and he did
not lose it by becoming trainmaster.
