MY stay in America has been pleas
ing to me throughout said Mrs. Pank-
hurst. "It is a matter of much re-

mes is being interfered with by the
s-witchmen's strike, it was said late to-
day. Little freight is being handled
ir the Twin cities.

about 5000 men out of work.
The railway managers committee
announced that efforts were being
made to bring in new men to take the
places of the striking switchmen. The
switchmen declared that if the rail-
roads attempt to use nonunion switch
men the locomotive firemen may re-
fuse to handle cars and it is under
TODD from one member of the Loco
motive Firemen's union that the chief
OF that organization has instructed the
men to decline to work with non
union men.

erhOod of Railway Trainmen.

John Babb, charged with the murder of
William Smart, a negro, on a Santa Fe
train the night of October IS, was re-
leased from the county Jail today on
1000 bond.
At first it was decided the offense of
Babb was unbeatable. In the district
court, however, Judge Dana ruled that it
was, and after taking the matter under
consideration fixed the amount of the
bond at $1,000. The amount seemed near
ly impossible to be met but Babb had
hopes in his home friends at Bedford In
diana.
While awaiting for word from there the
bond comes from an almost unlocked for
source. The amount was secured by

for year and was offered the road
masters office. From roadmaster he
was given the Office of assistant
division superintendent.
Finally Mr.. Nudge came into the
list of higher officials by securing the
position of division superintendent of
the Rio Grande division of the Santa
Fe. This is the mountainous section
of the Santa Fe and the most diff
fcult division to handle on the Santa
Fe. But Mr.. Nudge conquered the
floods, the landslides and the tunnels
and conducted the traffic over this
section in the greatest time ever ac-
complished by a superintendent.
Following his grand record on this divis-
Ion Mr.. Nudge was made superintendent
over the whole western division. In May,
1893, he was made general superintendent
ton he occupied until June 10, 1894, when
he was appointed general superintendent
of the eastern grand division. In Febru-
airy i, 1886. he accepted the position of
general superintendent of all the Santa Fe
lines.
Four years after, January 1, 1900 Mr.
Nudge was made general manager of the
Santa Fe lines. He conducted this office
in Topeka until May 1. 1905, when he left
the Santa Fe for the first time in his ca
reer and took the second vice presidency
of the Rock Island.
Today he was made president Of the
Rock Island.

When Melvin Ooley, Homer's

to task for the death of his brother.
The argument waxed warm and
finally Ooley drew a revolver and shot
Gooch, inflicting a fatal wound. AS
Gooch dropped to the ground Ooley
