like OLD ROUTING.
Santa Fe Employees Don't Like Trans
fer at Sixth and Kansas.

A petition several yards long and
bearing more than 500 signatures ask
ing the city commissioners to change
the street railway service has been
filed with c. B. Burge, city clerk. The
petitioners for the most part are en-
ployees in the mechanical department
of the Santa Fe railway They ask
that the Oakland Quinton Heights
cars be routed straight through in
stead Of the recent system OF transfer
ing at Kansas avenue.
Recently the Topeka Railway COM
pany, in order to reduce operating eX-
penses and the wear and tear on
equipment, split the Quinton- Oakland
service Instead of running the large
cars through they divided the service
at Sixth and Kansas avenues, running
the Ouinton cars to this point and the
Oakland cars to this terminal.
MANY Santa Fe employees live in
Ouinton Heights. The old service took
them straight to their work without
transfer Under the new system they
have to change downtown and waste
time.
The city commissioners have been
asked to bring their influence to bear
on the street railway officials for
change A conference will be called

RETURNS GAS CASES.
Judge Pollock Sends Them Back to
District Court.

Judge Pollock today issued an order
renanding to the state courts the four
damage suits against the Consumers
Heat, Light & Power company. The
transcripts in the case were certified
to the federal court in December after
Judges Dana and Whitcomb had over
ruled motions for removal.
The remanding of the cases to the
state courts is considered a victory by
Attorneys Hazen & Cav and Edwin
McKeever, who represent the plaintiffs
in the several actions. AS the plaintiffs
can fight their actions at less expense
in the state courts than in the federal
courts, there was a strong protest when
the gas company sought a removal or
der. Both judges of the district court
heard the motion and overruled the
application. Then it was that attorneys
for the defense certified transcripts to
Judge Pollock's court. This brought
about a motion to remand.
All of the actions are for damages
by persons injured in the Seventh street
fire sistern explosion several years ago.
They include the J. F. Snyder suit for
$25, 900; A. T. Potts. for $4,000; E. L.
Robinson, for $1,000, and Jacob Dice for
$4,000. Edwin McKeever represented
Dice, while the firm of Hazen & Cav
appeared for the plaintiffs in the other
actions. An effort will be made to
force a trial of these cases at the
April term Of court.
In the Charles Winburn case, recent
ly, in Judge Dana's court, the defend
ant gas company has served notice of
an appeal. After a weeks trial before
a jury. Winburn was given judgment
for g.. 900.

HURT GERMAN TRADE
American Automobile Makers Are
Capturing the Business.

Berlin. April 30.-Several leading German
automobile constructors have suggested
TO the government that it should increase
the German tariff on motor cars. The
step, they point out, has become necessary
owing to the growing competition of
American machines which are being i'm
ported into the country in increasing num-
bers and this competition also has affected
the exports of German machines to other
countries Of Europe, where the American
machine also is making inroads into the
trade.
