MIR. PURCEIL,s PROMOTION.

Nor would it be a bad plan for the
Young men of Topeka and elsewhere
to ponder over the appointment of Mr.
John Purcell which makes him superin-
tendent of the entire mechanical de-
partment of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway company. Mr.. Pur-
cells position is designated officially rs
assistant to the vice president in charge
of operation, who happens to be Mr.
storey. who was in Topeka with the
Santa Fe for several years. But Mr..
Purcell is to be the directing genius OF
all the shops and other mechanical de-
nartments of one of the largest rail-
road systems in the world.
He is still a young man, good deal
under fifty. even if he has been in the
employ of the Santa. F'e for twenty
eight years. That long ago he started
in as an apprentice in the Topeka
shops. For ten years he has been super
intendent of these shops, the largest
railroad repair shops in existence In
making his way up the railroad ladder
from a most inconspicuous start. Mr.
Purcell has had no pull except an
untiring energy, q willingness to work
hard, and as adaptability to his environ
ment Because his success has been
hard earned, he deserves it all the
more.
There is only one regret hereabouts
at the promotion of M. Purcell. That's
a selfish one. 1t will take him away
from Topeka. Mr.. Purcell has been u
valuable employee in the Santa FEES
ranks for many years. He has been an
equally valuable Citizen Of Topeka And
the best wishes of Topekans go with
him on his journey to- higher levels in
the railroad world.

OF retiring for the night when the
signal reached him..
And when wireless communication
was established between the Carpathia
score or more of amateur wireless
operators with private apparatus, made
themselves busy. They produced a
babel of wireless signals which cut
into and confused the important mes
sages being sent from the scene of the
wreck. 1t was as though twenty oper-
ators. had tapped a telegraph line and
sent inquiries over it while the news
of an equally great catastrophe was
being wired from a far part of the
world.
Just that thing happened often dur
ing the civil war, when telegraphy was
in its infancy. Tapping the wires was
common then, owing to the momen-
tous events taking place, and often
false messages were sent in this man
ner through spirit of mischief. 1t
was a source of much annoyance and
anxiety for the government in Wash
ington.
Now, the tapping of a wire is
criminal offense. Telegraph operators
are on duty on every railroad and
every important Western Union and
Postal line, every minute in the year.
No telegrapher can retain his position
or get another one if he reveals the
nature of a message. Restrictions
producing similar results in wireless
biography will probably be fastened
by the Titanic disaster.
