temporary uncertainty, no serious dis

NEW BLOCK SIGNALS IN.
Three Position System on Santa Fe
Near kansas City.

Kansas City, No, June 19-The
Santa Fe has in full operation between
Kansas City and Holiday full equip
ped modern three-position upper quad
rant alternating current block signal
system operated from its Argentine
power plant. with electric lights for
the night signals and three positions
indicating danger caution or
clear" These signals will replace the
system now in use. The new block
signals will have three positions and
three signals instead Of two. will be
lighted with electric lights instead of
oil. will be operated with the alternat-
ing current from the power house in
stead of by individual batteries.
The new signals are being installed
under the direction of Edgar Winans
assistant signal engineer of the Santa
Fe, who also has charge of the manual
block signals on the new double track
through to Chicago. He said at the
union depot that the estimated saving
in maintenance cost was $50 a month
and the time of three out of the four
men now used to cover the fourteen
miles between here and Holiday. The
new system virtually is automatic as to
maintenance. working without atten-
ton except in case of breaks.
Kansas City is protected on the
Santa Fe by a primary battery auto
matte block system east as far as
Eaton, twelve miles. and beyond that
point and Holiday the manual system,
operated from station or towers, is in
use.

TOPEKA GIRL WEEDS JAP.
Second Ceremony Necessary to Make
Marriage Legal.

Omaha, Neb., June 19.-After vainly try
ing to get married in several other cities
Miss Carlotta Conl1lfn, pretty 20-year-old
Topeka, Kan, girl, was married here to
Binyich Oda. a japanese proprietor OF
curfo stores in Omaha, Denver, Chicago,
and several other points. Oda lives In ST.
Joseph. Mo.
The troubles of the couple began in To-
peka, where the Jap met the white girl
about year ago and begun his suit. In
order to escape a sensation, the two de-
cided it would be best to go to Kansas
City to be married. When Oda applied
for license in Kansas City, he was told
that under the Missouri laws it was not
legal for intermarriage of two races, and
the license was refused.
Not being up in geography, the two
went to st. Joseph and last Thursday
managed to secure a license and were at
once married. But Immediately after
wards, the marriage license clerk came
forward and informed them that the
wedding was not legal as the license
could not legally be issued, for the same
reason given at Kansas City.
The Jap and the white girl thereupon
started for Council Bluffs and Friday ap-
piled to the court there for permission
to wed They exhibited the marriage Ger
fificate issued to them at st. Joseph, and
the clerk in Council Bluffs, ruling that
they were already married, refused them
a license in that state.
Then Oda and Miss Conklin came over
to Omaha and were successful In securing
a license. They were married by County
Judge Leslie and now firmly tied in the
bonds of matrimony.

started out from San Francisco on
four weeks educational trip to New
York and return. during which they

Efficiency of its operating officers

desires, and it has recently conceived
the idea of educational trips for its
operating officials. These educational

BEHIND IN THEIR EQUIPMENT
Railways Will Be Obliged to Get Crop
Deliveries Soon.
[PNIENT

Signs are multiplying that the rail-
roads of the United States are behind
in their equipment needs and will be
obliged to buy in time to get deliveries
before the crops move.
Many of the railroad companies favor
delaying definite ordering until a little
later in the season, but in at least a
few important instances there is a dis
position to go ahead on the present out
look for the crops. If there is to be
heavy equipment buying in anticipa-
ton of crops, it will probably develop
within the next so days.
For the last two and a. half years the
freight car production of the country
has been scarcely equal to the annual
destruction of cars in service. During
that time retirement of cars, as well
as production, has been under the av-
erage, but all except an insignificant
part of the equipment of the country
has been in constant use and a larger
part of 1t is ready for scrapping now
than was the case four or five years
ago. The annual junk roll of freight
cars in this country is declared to be
well above 100, 900.

KANsAs ORoP Is BEST.
But Apple Crop Everywhere VIII Be
Found Short.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 1e.-While the
apple crop of the United States is couced-
ed to be damaged to an extent which will
make it less than that of last year, the
Kansas crop will equal the estimates
made early in the year If it rains within
a few days, according to Francis Goble.
Apples of some varieties already are be-
ginning to fall from the trees, but not In
sufficient numbers to reduce greatly the
yield. 1t is expected that the Kansas crop
viii be harvested in a larger per cent than
that of any other state.
The apple situation is serious. however,
over the entire country, Mr.. Goble says.
Frosts in the early spring damaged the
crop in the east and west. Then for a
time it appeared that all would be saved.
A general hot wave over a period when
there were few rains caused the trees to
wither, resulting in the fruit becoming
hard and dropping from the trees. The
outcome probably will be a shortage of
apples next winter.
