Union Pacific Is Increasing
Motive Power.
Are Purchasing MonsterEngines
of Atlantic Type.
ON KANSAS DIVISION.
Three of the New Locomotives
Will Run Through Topeka.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.
ON KANSAS DIVISION

The Union Pacific is expecting
big rush in passenger business curing
the coming month or two on account
of the Denver convention of the ma
tional Democratic party, and In oroer
to be able to meet the increase in trar-
hc, general improvement OF the
motive power all over the system is
being made.
This Hartman line is expecting the
biggest passenger business in It's MS
tory during the coming season Inc
Democratic convention of course Will
swell the traffic considerably, put
even the normal traffic is expected TO
greatly exceed that Of any previous
season. The two cent rate is respoh-
sible for this condition OF traHlc, ana
1t is found that the present motive
power is insufficient to meet the needs
of the company although 1t was re-
Gently increased by the addition OF
twenty-five Of the Atlantic type OF
passenger engines.
To meet their needs the Union "a
cific has purchased a number of the
latest Atlantic type of engines from
the Camania, Rio Yaqui & racine
road of Mexico. 1t is the plan to
place three of these engines in SER
vice on the Kansas division as soon
as the engines have been rented up
for the Union Pacific service. Several
of the engines have already passed
through Topeka to the Armstrong
shops and their installation In pas
senger service between Topeka and
Junction City is looked for at most
any time.
These new engines will be number
ed from 500. The new engines are
monsters compared with other loco
motives in this section of the country.
The present Atlantic type OF passen-
ger engines which are numbered from
/ to 25 can make the Union Pacific
fast schedule pulling eleven coaches.
The new engines will go the present
type one better by hauling fourteen
coaches at a fast schedule, which Is
a gain of about twenty per cent In
favor of the new type.

ELEVENTH HOUR SUIT.
italian Parents Sue Union Pacific Tor
Death of Son.

Leavenworth, Kan, May S.-Just
a few minutes before the statute of
limitations would have been effective
Attorney John T. O'Keefe appeared in
the office of Robert Mcfarland, clerk
of the district court, and filed for
damages of $4,000 against the Union
Pacific Railway company in behalf OF
his clients, Vincenzo -Lascalzo and
wife, whose son Antonio, 1aborer,
killed while in the employ of the com
pany A few minutes later and the
documents in the case would have
been worthless, and recovery of dam
ages rendered impossible by the lapse
of time.
The Italian was employed on a sec
ton gang by the Union Pacific at Lin
wood He was killed by a train while
pushing a dirt car on May 1, 1906.
The contention of his parents. the
plaintiffs, is that he was ordered into
a dangerous place by Gettet Hicks
section foreman, who promised to
look out for approaching trains, and
that the death of their son was oc-
casioned by his negligence. The
Italian was rs years old at the time
of his death. The plaintiffs are repre-
scented by John T. O'Keefe of Leaven-
worth and the firm of McAnany &
Alden in Kansas City.
