John MurreII. santa Fe Shopman, Met
Fatal Accident on Way to Work.

John MurrelI, who was employed at
the Santa Fe shops and who died
Wednesday. did not receive his injuries
in the Santa Fe shops as was reported.
While going to work a week ago Mon
day morning, Mr.. MurreH was walking
east from Kansas avenue on Crane
street Just a short distance west of
the Santa F'e mechanical building at
Crane and Adams, a steam pipe which
crosses Crane street underground had
broken and the pressure of the steam
had forced a small hole in the walk.
Mr.. Murrell stepped into the hole and
was badly scalded with the steam and
boiling ~water. He returned west on
Crane street, and reached the Seymour
Packing Co. plant from which place he
was conveyed to his home. He did not
reach the Santa Fe shops on the morn
ing in which he received his fatal

That the Union Pacific tie treating

will be removed to some other poIIl
in Kansas within a few months WouIo
seem to be a foregone conclusion from
the number of stories regarding 10
peka's plant floating around IN other
towns over the system. =
The latest town to start a ru1nof -
Salina. The Union Pacific receitLS
leased twenty or thirty acres at tIaI
Doint and it is said that the company
hos secured an option on other lana
adjacent. This it is said Is Ior tIie te

good deal of unoccupied land belong-
ine to this company there, probably
enough to permit of accommodations
for, the local plant. In addition juno
tfon City is a division point and TINS Is
in her favor.
Another town that would hke 10
get something away from Topeka is
Lawrence The Union Pacific could
get hold of a good deal of land at that
place .,,.-
However, Junction City and Salina
seem to be the strongest bidders, WITH
the chances slightly in favor of SaIlna
The Union Pacific has shown an in
clination to do more for Salina than
for anv town on the Kansas division.
IT is almost a certainty that the tie
treating plant will some day sooner
or later be taken away from Topeka
1t is a big institution and employs
large number of men. But the loca-
ton of the plant was mistake, as
the high water frequently puts the
plant out of business for some time
and the damage over balances what
ever advantages there might be in its
present site. However, the Union
Pacific officials have intimated that
the plant might be retained in To-
peka but moved north on hlgher
ground. where it would be immune
from the Kaw's overflow.

when Mr.. Knox's term in the senate
would have expired had he served un-
til its close. He said it is the purpose
of Mr.. Knox to serve throughout the

The comptroller declined to discuss
the question of eligibility of Senator
Knox. The question of whether the
constitutional inhibition would apply
if Senator Knox should resign his seat
in the senate before receiving his ap-

Salary of Secretary of State to Go

Washington, Feb. 11.-Following
close upon the discovery that Senator
Philander c. Knox could not, without
ton of the United States, accept the
state portfolio in the Taft cabinet, the
senate took prompt action to remove
the constitutional objection. Senator
Hale introduced a resolution which
was referred to the committee on the
judiciary, providing that the salary of
the secretary of state be reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000, the figure at which
it stood before it was increased, along
with those of all other cabinet officers,
two years ago.
In view of this resolution, Assistant
Attorney General Russell held that if
congress restores the salary, the case

this account, the trainmen on the
