MR.. PRINCE TALKS.
! Ex-Governor l., B. Prince shed some
new light on the railway situation
when he told why the recent order
barring passengers from trains three
and four we're put into effect. 1t seems
that the whole state of New Mexico
is to suffer because theatrical trCup
of twenty-five boarded the Limited ut
Las Vegas hey were evidently not
over-refned, for they took pcFGcssion
of the observation car, much to the
discomfort of the regular passengers,
and later when the dining carr was
opened they made rush for 1t and
held possession there while the
through passengers went hungry
1t appears that Boston lawyer.
vi ho happened to be on the train, drew
up a petition in triplicate, complain
ing about the conduct of the trCup
and the Inconvenience caused He
had it signed by all the 102 passen-
gers on the train.
1t seems that this petition was sent
to the high officials of the Santa re
road and was the direct cause of the
order going into effect.
The attitude of the chamber of com
merce was not one of hostility tc the
A. T. & S. F. railroad 1t was the
undivided opinion of the members
present last night that committee
be appointed to go into the matter
with the railroad with cooperative
spirit, but that the committee would
stand firm for what is believed to be
Santa Fes rights in the matter.
This committee will take the matter
up by letter first with the Santa fe
Officials and if the desired results can
not be brought about in this manner
the chamber empowered the commit
tee personally to visit the officials at
its expense.
