In speaking with the reporter, Win

BELEN CUT OFF READY.
Santa Fe Improvement Will Be
Formally Opened on March is.

The Belen cutoff line of the Santa Fe
will be in full operation March 15. This
date was definitely announced to the
State Journal today by General Man
ager J. E. Hurley. Unofficial rumors
circulated from time to time have
named various different dates. all of
which were incorrect.
On this date, all the through freight
traffic will be diverted from the main
line to the Belen cutoff. This will route
all the freight business from the main
line at Newton via Mulvane, wellington
Amarillo and the Belen branch to the
will relieve all the present main line
from Newton to Rio Puerco from
freight traffic By this means the
Santa F'e will avoid the Ration and
Glorietta mountains in northern New
Mexico which are the steepest and most
difficult grades on the Santa Fe.
None of the through passenger BUSH
ness, however, will be detoured via the
Belen line.
General Manager J. E. Hurley has
called a time card meeting which will
take place in his office tomorrow at
which time the time card for the Belen
trains will be arranged.
The delay in opening this line has
been due to a shortage of cooling plants
and ice houses. Much of the through
freight over this line consists of Cali
fornia perishable freight. New ice
houses have been built at Waynoka,
Okla, and Clovis. N. M, and these will
be ready for service by March 10.
The line will be in full service by
April 1, when General Manager Kouns
will succeed Mr.. Hurley on the western
end of the system. Mr. Hurley was
president of the company which built
the Belen line.

WILL DECIDE ON DATES.
Jockey Club and Racing Association
Meet in New York.

New York, Feb. 24.-The long de-
ferred question of racing dates for the
METROPOLITAN racing season will be
settled here today, it is expected, at a
meeting of the stewards of the Jockey
club and managers of the New York
Racing association. This will be fol-
lowed quickly by an announcement of
the stake programmes. Heretofore
dates have been announced much
earlier but because of the changed
conditions in this state following the
passage of anti-betting legislation
there has been considerable delay.
August Belmont, who is a dominating
factor in turf circles, is now out of a
hospital after having recovered from
a recent operation for appendicitis.
AS it will be necessary for Mr.. Bel
mont to leave the city for recupera-
tive trip in the near future it seems
certain that dates will be fixed before
his departure.

We are glad to note that Secretary

secretary says he is as yet by no
means convinced that the government

information obtainable from the canal

st is not unknown in the history OF
our government" says Secretary
Meyer that national reservations
have been given up and later bought
back at an increased cost" And later
in his report he remarks that ''the
completion of the (Panama) canal, the
development of the trade of the gulf
of Mexico as we'll az the whole Carib-
bean region, and the probable increase
of the naval establishment to meet
our national responsibilities in that
area, viii probably call for supply sta
lions, in part for the heavy feet, but
principally for the torpedo craft and
submarines and the smaller vessels
needed there"
The secretary is right in his de-
termination to keep alive. at least for
the present, the navy yards on the
South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. We
have a navy yard at Pensacola and for
certain reasons, perfectly obvious and
practical, Pensacola wishes that navy
yard to remain where it is. It Occu-
pies the logical site for a Gulf navy
yard. Pensacola has, beyond all pos
sibility of rational question, the
deepest, safest and most desirable
harbor on the Gulf. We have a 500

low tide, and the contemplated chan
mel is to be 1000 feet wide and 50

Secretary Meyer, We once more de-
