RAILROADS RESIST.
X. C. Southern Doesn't Want to Tear
Down $5OO,OOO Bridge.

Suit was filed this morning with Nor
ton Albaugh. clerk Of the U. 8. district
court. against the Kansas City Southern
railway, in connection with the Kaw
River Drainage cases in Kansas City.
The railroad is defendant in an equity
suit concerning the decree of the war
department to make them tear down their
big $5oO.0c0 bridge over the Kansas river.
This bridge, according to federal officers
In Topeka, obstructs the river and forms
a virtual dam in the stream. This would
be dangerous in case of a flood
The war department several years ago
ordered that many Of the bridges of rail-
roads. packing companies and sand COM
panies would have to be destroyed. The
decision was appealed to the high courts
and affirmed. The decree, however, was
forgotten in the tangle of the courts and
not until recently was any attempt made
to enforce it. Fred Robertson. U. S. dis
trict attorney in Topeka. and the Kansas
River drainage board have co-operated.
Suits have been filed against many cor
porations and the government authorities
say that the bridges must be destroyed
without delay. The railroads Will prob
ably fight the cases.
The Santa Fe is one Of the few railroads
running into Kansas City that has not
been sued by the government for alleged
violation Of war department regulations

STORM WAS COSTLY.


More than $500 worth of rattan
was used up by the Topeka Railway
company in the big rotary brush
sweepers during the recent snow
storm. The brushes on the sweepers
are refilled after every trip over the
city lines and the material to keep
the rotatries in order was unusually
costly this last storm on account OF
the fine snow and sleet on the pave
ment.
1t was figured out by Albert M:
Patten; assistant general manager OF
the Illinois Traction company in his
Office in Topeka today that the recent
storm cost the Topeka Railway COM
pany more than $1,000 in materials
and in the employment of extra men
and the loss in business
"These storms necessitate the hir-
ing of additional crews. the work of
shovelers. and cleaners, and the use of
hundreds of dollars worth Of material.
The high wind and sleet that accom-
panied the last storm broke down
scores Of poles and tore down trolley
lines in all parts OF the city"
