clared. 1T should be n national ex-

The Illinois member asserted that

could go to New Orleans, thence to
Panama and back again.
The Sentimental Side.
Tremendous enthusiasm was Gre
ated on both sides Of the house when
Rodenberg in a final wild burst of
oratory referred to ''the sentimental
side"
I'VE love to talk about reunited
people," he said, and got no further
pandemonium broke on the Demo-
cratic side while the orator yelled that
there would be something to com
memorate the reunion. and that New
r'eanOs offered the opportunity.
When Rodenberg finally sat down
the House rocked with applause
Southern members rent the air with
the piercing screech of the famous
rebel yell, and stood on their feet
the better to stamp theier approval.
Seldom has the House witnessed
such a demonstration. Representative
Wickliffe (Democrat, of Louisiana,
almost beside himself, led the cheer
ing. with handkerchief in hand. Fin
ally fully half OF the enthusiasts
trooped over across the aisle from the
Democratic to the Republican side
and swarmed up the aisle to shake
Rodenberg's hand.
Representative Knowiand (Repub-
lican), of California, and Hayes (Re-
publican), of California. replied in
two two-minute speeches to Roden-
berg's oratorical fight. knowiand

RAILROAD NEWS.
General Manager Kouns Denies
AtchisOn-TOpeka RumOrs.
Says Through Freight Story
From AtchisOn Is Fake.
BEST IN THE COUNTRY
LineWill Be Renewed, Reballast-
ed and Repaired Thoroughly.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

c. w. Kouns, general manager OF the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e Railway
company, says there is no truth in the
report printed in Atchison papers
few days ago that the Santa Fe re-
ceives rebates from the Atchison d
Eastern Bridge company.
THE whole story, given on the au-
thority of a railroad official on the
condition that his name should not be
used, is a fabrication, and a very silly
one, at that" Mr.. Kouns says. The
papers informant is quoted as saying
that the Santa Fe is relaying its line
between Topeka and Atchison with
heavy steel in order that freight bust
ness from Chicago to the west and
vice versa can be diverted over this
track. Such speculation is a reflection
upon the intelligence of newspaper
readers who know that the distance
from Chicago to Topeka, the first COM
mon point west of the Missouri river,
is greater by way of Atchison than it
is by way of Kansas City. A railroad
hauls its through freight by the short
est route.
THE Santa Fe has its own bridge
across the Missouri river at Sibley.
The average charge for a car of freight
across the Missouri river at Atchison
is about $3.50. 1t readily will be seen
that the Santa Fe will not divert
through freight from the shorter route
longer route and a pay bridge at
Atchison. If the Santa Fe were in the
rebating business, the Atchison & East
ern Bridge company would have to
haul Santa Fe through freight across
it's bridge absolutely free and, in addi-
ton, pay for the difference in the
longer haul, in order to interest the
Santa Fe in a rebate proposition. But
the fact of the matter is that the Santa
Fe owns no stock in the Atchison
Bridge company. It pays for its Atch-
isOn bridge service the same as other
roads pay, and the rebate story is a
fake.
1.-THE Santa Fe, in putting down
heavy rails between Topeka and Atch-
ison, simply is carrying out the pro-
gram made by President Ripley to
bring the railroad up to a higher
standard. This work has been in pro-
gress several months, and will be con-
tinued until every line on the system
has been improved. The line from To-
peka to Atchison will be one of the best
in the country. The betterments are
necessary to put the road in condition
to handle the rapidly increasing bust
ness of the territory which it serves"
