FOR CLOSER RELATIONS.
Railway Men Would Communicate
With Commission

Chicago May 23.-The railroads OF
the country, through the American
Railway association, will try to estab-
lish closer relations with the interstate
commerce commission and with the
public. The executive committee OF
the association has recommended a re-
organiza ton of the association which
will make it the governing body in the
United States, and which will place it
in constant communication with the
interstate commission regarding all
questions of operation and of legisla-
ton affecting interstate commerce.
The plan is said TO have been origin
ated by F. A. Delano, president of the
Wabash road and president of the
American Railway association. and L.
F. Loree. president of the Delaware &
Hudson. in the hope of securing uni
form action by the railroads on all
material questions of operation and
other affairs affecting the public SER
vice.
The American Railway association is
the most influential organization of
operating railway men in the United
States, and the executive committee
believes that a great deal of good
would result from a uniformity OF ac-
ton in operating matters. 1t is also
stated that the commission provided
for by the resolutions would be able to
present arguments and information.

FAST BELEN TRAIN.
Santa Te Will Arrange Through Serv-

Albuquerque N. NJ. May 23.-Gen-
eral Superintendent Sharp of the santa
Fe left here this morning on special
train of his car and and engine for a
slow trip over the New Mexico East
ern. The special pulled out of the To-
cal station Immediately after the regu-
lar train. Mr.. Sharp was accompanied
by j. V. Keys, who is in charge of the
road and superintended it's construc-
ton.
At Clovis Mr.. Sharp will meet Gen.
eral Manager Hurley and hold con-
ference about taking over of the road
from the construction department,
which is to be done July 1.
The consideration of through train
service over the new road has been on
with the officials of the new road for
some time. The Santa Fee limited will
be maintained. running over its pres
ent route. and will continue to be the
fastest train between Chicago and Los
Angeles. 1t is believed that the fast
train which will be put on over the
New Mexico Eastern will be limited
from Chicago to San Francisco, with
A lbuuuerque and Los Angeles connec-
TONS This will give the Santa Fe the
fastest train between Chicago and the
Pacific coast by several hours. Owing
to the congested condition of travel on
the Santa Fe generally it is said that
none of the present trains will be
taken off as a result Of the opening up
of the new road.

Coffeyville Dairymen Refuse to
Register Cows.
Object to Injunction Suit on
tuberculosis Animals.
ABOUT so INSPECTED.
The Milk From 600 Is Still
Being Sold Unlawfully.
The Mayor Says There Will Be
Some Arrests Soon.

Coffeyville, May 23.-The Journal
SAYS: 1.-THE city will be forced to
adopt drastic measures, unless the To-
cal dairymen Immediately register
their cows" said Mayor Wilcox. THE
injunction suit against the city has
been dismissed, and the milkmen can
find no further cause for opposing the
inspection ordinance. If necessary, we
will arrest some of the dairymen, and
bring them into police court. POSSIBLY
an example will have to be made OF
some of them, before the others Will
comply with the law.
At the present time. only thirty
eight milk sellers have registered at
the city hall. These are for the most
part persons living in the city owning
large milk dealers have conformed
with the law Not over fifty cows
have been registered and there are
still about 1000 to be inspected ana
the milk tested.
ssThe milkmen are not cooperating
with the city at all in carrying out the
inspection ordinance" said DR.. 5. L.
Stewart, city milk inspector. my
work has practically come to a stand
still. 1 cannot inspect the diaries
faster than the cattle are registered,
and I have practically finished every
dairy so far registered. My time be-
longs to the city, and it is up TO the
milkmen to see that their cows are
registered SO that 1 can go on with
my work.
'It seems ridiculous that the dairy
men should oppose this ordinance.
They have said all along they were
in favor of an equitable milk inspec-
ton and the district court has said
that this ordinance is good in every
particular. Not much opposition was
shown by the dairymen, until found
three cows infected with tuberculosis.
The injunction suit followed. Now it
stands to reason that there are many
more cows, furnishing milk to the
CITY, infected with this disease, and
for the protection of the city, these
cattle should be ferreted out, and a
ban placed upon them.
This inspection tax will cost the
dairyrnen less than lie Of cent
gallon, and in the end, 1 expect to
make the inspection pay the milkmen
in actual dollars and cents. BY i'm
proving their premises and taking
better care Of their stock. the cows
can be made to produce more milk,
and the dairy business put on a scien-
tific basis. 1 am always ready to give
help to the milkmen in aiding them
to improve their methods and matters
relating to stock raising. They should
cooperate with me in enforcing this
ordinance, for their own benefit as
well as for the city's good.''
