At a further hearing before Vice
Chancellor Howell today, on the appli-
cation of Walter NJ. Jackson to have
Horace E. Hooper and a number of di-
rectors in the American and English
Encyclopedia Britannica Company de-
clared in contempt of a previous order
of the court, it was shown that ali
those making affidavits in favor of
Jackson in the London office of the
firm had been discharged by Hooper
without any reason being given for
their dismissal.
Among the defendants in the con-
tempt action are Messrs. Hooper, Win
merry and Burroughs, who are styled by
the compliments as dummy directors.
One of them. Charles c. Winery, WHO
lives in East Orange, was placed upon
the stand by Robert H. McCarter, who
is identified with Henry S. Woolman in
tine defense and was asked concerning
the salary he was getting.
"At present it is $50 d week, but pre-
vious to March l last / vas earning but
$50 per week." he said.
This statement. in view of the fact
that the witness is a director in a ST.
800 900 corporation, caused a smile to
go round the court.
At another stage in the hearing Sher-
man e. Whipple, of Boston, who Is
associated with Sherrerd Depue for the
complainant, asked a long question
which was objected to by Mr.. Wool
man in a strenuous manner the vice
chancellor said it's admissibility woult
depend upon further developments.
But consider. all that matter is upor
the record taken by the stenographer
I don't think that is fair said Mr.
Woolman.

Change in Santa Fe Contem-

way Circles.
WAITED ON BELENLINE

According to General Manager James
ion of the Santa F'e lines into two OPP
Grating sections was practically agreed
upon a year ago last July. The heavy
traffic and the extensive mileage of the
road is responsible for the division.
There are $500 miles of track on the
Atchison proper and the possibilities for
still greater extensions are good. The
southwest is developing fast and new
lines will be necessitated every year.
the Santa Fe makes it difficult for one
man to get over the system as often
as is necessary.
The Santa Fe is not alone in divid-
ing it's mileage. Most of the eastern
roads now have two stats of operat-
ing officials and several of the western
roads have following.
The change on the Santa Fe would
have been made several months ago,
had it not been for the Belen cutoff
which had not been completed. This
line is complete now and will be in
operation when General Manager Hur-
ley withdraws from western section
and turns over that territory to c. w.
Kouns, the new general manager.
The eastern section which will be
under the jurisdiction of General Man
ager ]. e Hurley, is larger than most
of the big. eastern railroad systems. All
the important terminals of the road
will be in the eastern section which in
cludes all the lines east from Newton
and other parallel towns.
The change is effective April 1.

neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak

OHANUrE GETS NEW ENGINES.
Locomotives of 400 Glass Sent to
Southern Kansas Division.

Chanute, Kan, Feb. 25.-Six en-
gines of the 400 class have been appor-
toned to the Southern Kansas division
Of the Santa Fe railroad. The first
arrived last night, and made its first
trip out of here on 202, the north
bound passenger train. The 4O0s are
monsters alongside the other engines
which are being used in passenger SER
vice on this division. They are almost
as heavy on the drivers as freight en-
gines of the big 700 class, and strong
enough to pull a train of eleven to
twelve coaches along at rafting clip,
for they are speedy as well as capable
of heavy tonnage. The changes which
have been made in the construction of
railroad coaches are making lighter
engines obsolete 1t was easy enough
for them to haul a long train and
make good time when old fashioned
coaches were made, for the coaches
were considerably lighter than they
are nowadays They are SO heavy now
that it is all the lighter engines can
do to haul an ordinary train, especial
ly in windy weather. 1t will be a
month, perhaps, before all the six 4O0s
which have been apportioned to this
division will be here and at work.

The. party in Question is wanted to
sign some vaIuable papers which may
bring him a little money.
Where is q. z. Hagerman?
The tall boy with the zigzag initials
who pitched some classy ball for the
Topeka White Sox last summer is
missing. Although two baseball mag
mates have been working hard for a
pride of Oakland his whereabouts is
still unknown and is puzZling those
who are interested in him.
According to the rules of baseball, all
players who are expected to work dur
ing the coming season should have re-
ceived their contracts by March 1.
When Hagerman was sold to Chicago
by Dick Cooley last fall for $4,000,
Hagerman gave his address as Topeka.
Letter after letter to this address has
failed to locate Hagerman.
Rip is a. thrifty lad. He didn't waste
much time in Topeka last fall after the
season was over. Umpire Setley, who
worked in the Western Association last
season, secured him a job in Florida
where they play winter ball. Hagerman
soon left for st. Petersburg in that
state and played there awhile. Then
he heard the call of the wilds and
went to Cuba with some other Ameri-
can ball players. He spent at least SIX
weeks in the island.
