Daily. Protection of commercial in

mands a uniform base"
Counsel desired to know when the
higher tariffs were decided upon and
Mr.. DAILY said in June of this year.
Counsel tried to learn if the advance
was contemplated before the wage in
crease became fact, but Mr.. DAILY
would not admit it. Replying to a
question how the railroads had fixed
the amount of increase to be borne
by each class of freight, Mr.. DAILY said
the railroads needed more money and
apportioned their needs to the differ
ent class of freight as seemed best.
Mr.. DAILY said on cross examination
that most of the luxuries of life were
carried as high class Regarding the
increases Mr.. DAILY was asked if the
luxuries would cost a little more to
the people and the shippers.

no practical effect in many individual
cases." replied the witness.

his goods ?"
very little: it will be more than
gained by the improved conditions of
the railways of the country and its aid

Are women's dresses. children's
clothing and shoes in these freight
luxuries?'
yes
"Wel1 the men of st. Louis who buy
shoes from New England factories
must pay this higher freight; the
money will be taken out of their pock-
cts and transferred to the Golfers of

"Some of it is paid back to the men
who buy the shoes-we keep very little
of it. 1t goes out almost as fast as it

SANTA FE BUYS NEW WALLETS
Fifty Big Engines Ordered for Noun
tain Division.

San Bernardino, Cal, Sept. IA
Vice President J. W. Kendrlck of the
Santa Fe has stated that the order for
the SO Mallet locomotives. which the
company has been contemplating for a
number of months, has been placed,
says the Sun today.
Santa Fe men have been watching
with interest for the decision that the
Mallet type engines are to become
standard. since the four big locomo-
tives of that class were brought to the
coast. The first of the biggest mogulS
was built to determine on the adviS-
ability of making them standard on
the mountain divisions The four en-
gines of the class that were first put
out-two freight and two passenger
have all been in San Bernardino, and
through the local shops. One of the
freight engines was for some time in
service over the Cajon grad. The To-
com olives are now being used over the
Tehachapi.
The entire consignment ordered
from the Baldwin Locomotive works
will probably be distributed on the di-
visions west from Ration and a num-
Der will fall to this division for use
over the Cajon grade.
Vice President Kendrick is greatly
interested in the design of a new du-
pick locomotive which he has placed in
the hands of the Baldwin Locomotive
company to experiment. with.
eff my designs are practicable" he
said last night. "it will revolutionize
railroad transportation. effect a great
saving, and materially reduce present
rate schedules"

DENVER LOSES PULLMAN SHOPS
Business Men Fail to Stop Exit of 100
Families

Denver, Colo, Sept. 14.-Orders
have been telegraphed from Chicago
to the local officials Of the Pullman
company at once to begin the removal
of its shops from this city to Rich
mond, Cal. The packing OF the ma
chinery and supplies began this morn
ing. It will require several weeks to
complete the transfer.
The receipts of these kilograms in
dictate that the efforts of William G.
Evans, president of the Denver City
Tramway company, and David H. Mof-
fat to have the shops retained in Den
yer were unavailing. They called upon
the officials in Chicago last Monday
and made an offer to present the COM
pany with a forty-acre tract of land
near Utah Junction if it would erect
repair shops at that point. The or
ders to begin removing the plant were
sent after that conference was held.
The Pullman company owns about
half of the machinery in the shops at
Fortieth street. The remainder is the
property of the Union Pacific, which
also owns the ground and buildings.
The Union Pacific will occupy the
shops upon removal of the Pullman
forces. About 100 families of men
employed in the Pullman shops will
accompany the plant to California. 1t
is expected that this number will be
doubled within a few months.

Santa Fe Orders $500, 200 Ties
From Hawaii.
Will Use Entire Output From
Islands in 1911.
OKLA WOOD THE BEST.
This Glass Of Mahogany Gives
Good Service.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

San Bernardino, Cal, Sept. 14.-E. o.
Faulkner, head of the forestry depart
ment of the Santa F'e, will return
home today from Honolulu, where he
went to sign up contract for the en-
tire output of ohia ties of the Ha-
waiian islands.
Three years ago Faulkner went
down to the islands to investigate the
possibilities of Tohia as a material for
railroad ti~; and was so impressed
that he signed up contract for g.
SOC. 900 on behalf of the Santa Fe COM
pany. Exhaustive experiments, made
since that time, have demonstrated
that ohia is perfectly suited to the
needs of railroad construction and in
consequence the Santa Fe has secured
the entire Hawaiian output for term
of years.
Ohia is the heaviest wood known.
and is also one of the hardest. 1t is a
species of mahogany, very knotty and
unsplitable. Experiments have demon
strated that it is affected but little by
the continuous pounding of heavy roll
ing stock and for that reason 1t is be-
ing used in curves where strength and
durability is of the greatest import
ance and cost matter of secondary
consideration
So far the ohia- ties have been used
tricts as the supply at the disposal of
the company has been too small to
stretch out over any great amount of
territory. With the increased number
available they will be used all along
the system where great stability is
needed.
The Santa F'e uses more than 4,000,-
900 ties year and for some time past
the problem of obtaining them has
been a serious one. Oak, for years the
standard wood used in the fashioning
of ties, has been practically out of the
question, and all sorts of makeshifts
have been tried. Some years ago con-
crete was tried. but the tests were not
satisfactory.
In certain classes of construction
work eucalyptus has been found prac-
ticable. To furnish a supply of this
wood Faulkner some time ago had 1,709
acres of the eucalyptus planted in the
southern part of the state.
The Santa Fe is now receiving ties
from Hawaii, Mexico, Japan and Tas-
mania Of all the woods available,
however, the Hawaiian ohia has been
found the most suitable.
The shipment of ohia ties presents
some serious difficulties as the wood
is heavier than the corresponding bulk
in water and consequently ship load
ed with the ties is about as buoyant
