For the first time since its estab-
lishment, the Santa Fe is feeling the
effects Of the 16-hour law, whereby
trainmen are not allowed to be kept
on the road while ON duty over 16
hours, says the San BernardinO Sun.
While business was far from heavy,
10 was an easy matter for the men to
get over the road within the limit pre-
scribed by law, but with the immense
amount of business being handled at
present, which, although not as great
as during the rush of 1907, is such
that 1t requires expert handling to
get the men into terminals without
infringing upon the law.
During 1907, when the road was in
congested state, it was only neces-
sary to maintain force of AZ con.
ductors but it was then permissible
to work the men almost any length of
time. and in consequence the busi-
ness could be handled with that
number of men, but with the advent
of the new law and the immense in.
crease in business, it has been nee
essary to maintain force of so con
ductors, or an increase of 33 1-3 per
cent over 1907. with less business
than during that year.
Since the first of the year approx
mately rs men have been added to
the trainmen's rou. which brings the
present number up to $50.

Jesse Haymaker Night Expressman At Wells
Fargo Office 10 Hutchinson, Brutally
Murdered Tuesday Night.


A murder that was quite as brutal
as the one Carr was convicted Of last
week, occurred at HutchinAon on
Tuesday night. Jesse Haymaker, a
young man Of % years, who was
night expressman for the Wells Fargo
at Hutchinson, was shot while asleep
in the express room at the Santa Fe
depot. He is a son Of Engineer
Haymaker, it is understood, who
formerly ran into Dodge City from
Bucklip.
It is believed at Hutchinson that
the deed was done by Orville Poland,
nineteee year old boy who has
worked extra around the Wells Fargo
Office at times, and it is probably one
Of those unaccountable things that
often follow q big murder trial. The
Carr trial had bsen in all Of the.
papers the week before and all Of the
express and rsilrosd employees had
been interested to know the outcome
Of it, and it no doubt had its effect
upon the Poland boy.
After young Haymaker was killed,
his keys we're taken, and the
murderer went to the Wells Fargo
building, which is block west Of the
depot, entered the building, and
broke into the money drawer. He
took the silver that was in the drawer
and overlooked a package Of bills,
evidently from his nervous and
frightened condition over the awful
crime he had committed.
Wednesday morning when the
discovery was made that Haymaker
had been murdered, Poland was
suspected. and Grant Hale, special
agent for the Santa Fe questioned
him closely, but he was not arrested.
He was looked for later, but had
disappeared. 1t is reported here
today that he has been caught at
another town. 1t was learned otter
he had disappeared that another boy
and Poland had made arrangements
to leave for Chicago on Wednesday.

HIa experience in The Nlckeloden has
been rather Interesting When he
started in here he was trying the
show business, expecting to make
some money "a OF it tn use on his
farm in OkIahoma. The Nickel
odeon went wrong for good while,
and one season Mr.. Mason taught
school on the side and used his
salary to keep the show going. Il
went wrong just long enough for
Mason to determine to make the
thing a 60. and after be made up his
mind to it, be would probably have
succeeded, even il he had been COM
PEELED to stake every thing be
possessed in doing so. He spent the
money the show took in, and so al,he

SO well that the place began bringing
a steady profit. The profit increased

Mr.. Mason as soon US be felt that he

WILDE TWO GRAND DIVISIONS
From Newton West Will Be
Snder Entirely Different o.
ficiaIs, With c. W. Kouns
as General Manager.

By achange which has been made
necessary by the growth and con-
templated enlargement Of the Santa
Fe system, the division which has its
Offices at Dodge City is q part Of q
new grand division, and will not be
under General Manager Hurley.
The Santa Fe will have two general
managers, and instead Of the various
small grand divisions, it will have
two grand divisions, Eastern and
Western. The Eastern Grand divi-
sion will end at Newton, and General
Manager Hurley's authority will end
there with ii. The Western Grand
Division Of which this division will
be q part, will be under General
Manager Kouns, whose headquarters
will possibly be at La Junta. The
new general manager is @. W. Kouns,
who has been third vice president Of
the company.
The Belin cutoff, and various new
bral ches bnilt and contemplated
makes the Santa Fe System too
bulky and intricate an outfit to be
handled well under one management,
and il may be just as well in the rail
road business at present times to not
have a general manager who knows
oil about the company's business.
Under the new arrangement the
company's right hand will not know
what its left hand doeth. and any
complete information will not get
below the president'of the system.
Kansas people can remember when
the Santa Fe System consisted Of
small branch running between Atchi-
son and Topeka. It was railroading
on q small scale, but the company in
branching out was getting into
territory which is the best part of'the
earth. At the same time it had to
build through country which was not
settled to any extent, and there was
hard times ahead for the road. The
old timers working for the Santa Fe
can remember when pay day came
around, and the checks failed 10

expecting them daily, until the second
