PRESIDENT Mohler. Vice President Nun
zoe, in charge of traffic; Passenger Traf-
lie Manager Fort aud General Manager
Scott of the Union Pacific are in Salt
Lake City attending a family meeting of
officials OF the Hartman lines in tie
r west. Information is given out that the
meeting Is fer the purpose of rearranging
divisions on the Union Pacific and for
mulstlnG new train schedule. Rumor,
however, says that this is far from being
the real purpose Of the meeting.
Men in railroad circles say that the
president, traffic managers and general
managers do not travel LOCO miles for the
purpose Of arranging divisions that have
already BEEN arranged and to work out
train schedule that is under ordinary
circumstances prepared by dispatchers
and superintendent and then approved
by managers.
Those who assert they know. contend
that the real purpose of the head men
CO the Hartman lines at this time is to
formulate some pan by which the en-
penses Of the system may be reduced and
the revenues correspondingly increased.
, Like ali other roads. the Union Pacific
made a bad financial showing for De-
cember. When New York bond holders
and stock jobbers saw this report they
clsmored for something better in the
future and soma trimming is anticipated.
In fact, 1t is already being done, and the
start Is being made in the low. as we'll
as in the high places. ...
Use Too Much Water.
For Instance, ct headquarters In this
city, it Is expected that very shortly an
order to economic on water will be
issued. At this time there are something
like 100 people employed in the head
quarters building. 1t Is figured that q
gallon per day of water per person would
he AN abundance for all purposes. In
shis building ten times this quantity Is
being used. 1t is pointed out that in the
harvest field in summer and that in rail-
road grading camps the average supply
of water is one gallon Of water per day
per person. and with these figures as a
criterion clerks in the headquarters will
have to curtail on the use OF water.
There are rumors floating about that
the meeting of the Hartman officials at
Salt Lake has to do with the strike that
was declared by the shopmen some
months ago. and that 1t is possible that
a solution OF the difficulty may be
brought about.
Men Return TO Work.

St. Paul Whirlwind Outpoints
Bayonne Boy in Furious
Bout

Mike Gibbons, the clever st. Paul

his credit last night, when he OUT
pointed Jeff Smith of Bayonne in a
fast ten round bout in the National
Sporting club. New York Smith
proved to be tough proposition for
the ST. Paul scrapper, the bout being
an even affair until the start of the
8th round. It was after the seventh
session, however, that the fans who

uncorking enough in those rounds to
enable him to earn the honors.
Although no knockdowns were scor-
ed, Gibbons came near flooring Smith
twice in the final session. He start
ed at whirlwind pace, crashing a
right hook into Smiths jaw. Smith
came back with several lightning
jabs that sent Mixes head back. Glib.
bons then cut loose with fusilade
of lefts to the head, and hooked his
right to the jaw, sending Smith across
the ring to the ropes. There Mike
again cut loose with body blows and
followed with short right hooks to
the jaw, causing Smith to cover up
to avoid being sent to the canvas.
The eighth round was the fastest
and best of the mill. In that session
Gibbons went after Smith from the
start, putting three straight lefts to
the jaw without a return, and follow
ing with right smash to the mouth
that drew the claret. His jabs in the
rest of the round caused Jeffs nose
to swell, cut his lips and puffed his
left eye.
Gibbons weighed in at 152 pounds
ringside, while his opponent was half
a pound heavier.

JEANETTE Will
MEET JOHNSON IN

If Jack Johnson is anxious to put

ager, Dan McKettrick, has agreed to
take a percentage of the receipts af-
ter Johnson's $4,000 guarantee has
been deducted, or is ready to let Jean
nette fight for nothing If the gate
money does not exceed that amount
There is no objection to Johnson's
He boxed six rounds with Jack
O'Brien there two years ago and was
slightly outpointed, probably for the
reason that he was hog fiat and re-
garded the bout as joke. Jeanette
believes he can outlook Johnson over
the same distance, even though the
referee cannot give decision. For
he can whip the champion in a finish
fight. They have clashed on several
occasions and Jeanette has given an
excellent account of himself. There
isn't much doubt that Jeanette is
the master of all the white hope
heavyweights. including Palzer and
Jim Flynn. He has knocked out Sam
McVey and has held his own with
Sam Langford on more than one oc-
casion. His ambition Is to shape
up with Johnson, however, and there
seems to be no good reason why he
should not get the chance
If Johnson goes through with his

4, he may need one or two short bouts
to fit himself and that is why the
Philadelphia promoter is ready to
hang up a $4,000 plum. A bill has
been introduced in the New Mexico
Legislature legalizing bouts of for
ty-five rounds or less in that State
