DOESN'T HAVE TO BORROW
Three Engines Ordered in
March Now on Way.
DR.. Pritchett Passed Thru To-
peka on Way West.

The, Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
Hallway company will not borrow
money FOR its present equipment needs.
according to DR.. Henry S. Pritchett
of New York. a member of the board
of directors, who stopped in Topeka
for lunch today as a passenger on
Santa Fe No /
This fact developed in an Incident
related by Doctor Pritchett to z. L..
Copeland. secretary and treasurer of
the road. who was at the station to see
the New Yorker Doctor Pritehett is
president lof the Carnegie Foundation
and in that capacity passes on the Sc
curities purchased by that Organiza-
ton Recently a New York broker,
who had overlooked the fact that Doc
dor Pritchett was a Santa Fe director,
called at the doctors office and Of
fered him a block of Santa Fe equip
ment notes bearing per cent
Shave You Them With YOu?"
Have you the notes with you?''
Doctor PFitchett asked.
No" the broker answered, but
they will be out soon, and we are lin
ing up few Of our best customers in
advance"
Then Doctor Pritehett told the
broker about his connection with the
Santa Fe. and assured him that there
would be no need of issuing equip
en- notes to pay for the SIS, 900, 600
worth Of locomotives and freight cars
purchased by the company just after
the. return of the railroads to cor
porate operation in March. The
broker confessed that he was "gu ess-
ing'' that the Santa Fe would borrow
money for equipment. as many other
railroads had done, and he figured
that Santa Fe notes would be in
great demand by conservative inves-
tors. He admitted he had taken
a large number of big orders. which
would have to be Cancelled"
New Engines on Way.
John Purcell. assistant TO the vice
president, in charge of mechanical
matters, who was present, advised
Doctor Pritchett that three of the To-
comOtives ordered in March had been
started toward the Santa Fe rails by
the Baldwin works.
Doctor Pritchett was accompanied
on the trip west by his vito and
daughter. They are on their way to
California where they will spend the
