man legation was shot here today for
the murded of a Chilean messenger of
the legation on February 5, 1909.

ARE FEWER SURPLUS CARS
Last Report Shows Decrease of 1866
in Total.

Again there is shown a falling off
in the number of surplus cars on the
railroads of the United States and Can
anda, according to figures presented
in the report of the American Rail-
way Association, issued today, bring
ing data on car surplus and shortage
down to June %. The change, how
ever, is ~ inconsiderable. There is
shown a decrease of 1854 in the total
surplus, bringing the aggregate down
to 1854 cars. Box cars increased
3,427 while coal cars decreased 1923.
The number of idle miscellaneous cars
decreased 5.487, due principally to an
increased demand for coke cars in the
eastern and middle groups of states
and for stock cars in the West and
Northwest.

No Appointment at Present for Assist

According to the announcement
made to the State Journal by General
Manager ]. E. Hurley of the Santa
Fe. it is likely that the position of
assistant general manager of the
eastern and western lines will be abol-
ished. This position will not be filled
for the present, at least.
1.-THE work will be brought to this
office to Mr. Lautz, who is assistant

said Mr.. Hurley. For the present

vacated by Mr.. Gaunt-"
G. H. Gaunt was assistant general
manager of both the eastern and
wester mines. In 1905, when the Santa
Fe divided the territory of 5000 miles
into two divisions of 5000 miles each,
giving the eastern end to ]. E. Hur-
ley and the western end to C. A
Kouns, Mr.. Gaunt, who had been act
ing as assistant on these two divi-
sions under Mr.. Hurley. was given
the assistant general managership of
both the eastern and western sections.
He was also superintendent of tele-
graph.
Now L. M. Jones has been made
superintendent of telegraph and it is
probable that the assistant general
managership will be transferred to the
office of Henry Lautz, who is as
sistant to General Manager Hurley at
this time.
