RECEIVE VIsITORs-AND FARES
Topeka Negroes Charge Taxi Rates to
Delegates of X. of p.

Possibly taking their cue from the
Chamber of Commerce which usually
delegates members to meet by motor
car the visitors to various conventions
held in Topeka. a number of negroes
have created an unfavorable impress
sion among visitors, it is reported.
While the committeeman of the c..
of c. have never made any charge for
the favor they extended, number of
Topekans have gone them one better
and are charging taxicab rates and at
the same time approach their unsus-
pecting fares wearing reception COM
mittee buttons.
1t is reported that a large number
of taxi licenses have been issued in
the last few days. There can be no
comment on anyone taking out a IL
cense to operate a taxi during the con-
vention OF the Knights of Pythiasr but
out of town visitors who have been
met by colored men wearing reception
badges. hauled to their destination and
then informed that they owed taxi
fare, have a fair basis for complaint.
1t is reported that applicants from
Kansas City seeking taxicab licenses
have been refused.

July Grain Movement Largest
in History of Santa Fe.
Handled $4,000 Cars of Wheat
in Month, Says Fox.
SHIPPING TO GULF POINTS
Cars Arrived Faster Than They
Could Be UnIoaded.
Boats Alone Are Carrying Grain
East of Chicago.

The greatest grain movement in the
history of the company was handled
by the Santa Fe railroad in July, ac-
cording to Fred c. Fox, general man
ager of the companys eastern lines.
Some $4,000 cars of wheat were
shipped over the Santa Fe during that
month.
The record was made possible large
ly because the wheat was moved to
gulf points for export which enabled
the carr to make a quick return to
the wheat belt. and despite the fact
that the ports were furnished with an
unusually large number of ships and
the terminals facilities there are
among the best in the entire company
for handling grain, Fox says the
Santa Fe could have handled double
the number of cars had they been I'M
loaded as fast as they were hauled in.
War Tic-up Explained.
In comparing the present situation
with that of the last few years, espe-
cially during the war when there was
a serious congestion in the east, Fox
explained, perhaps. for the first time
one of the chief causes for the eastern
tie-up, after saying that some of the
Santa Fe cars which were taken east
three and four years ago, are Just now
getting back home.
did you hear of any water ship
ments being made from any port
south of Newport News?" Fox asked.
We'll. didn't and they tell me it was
because the governments convoy ia
cilities were limited. making it neces-
sary to ship largely from one point.
This is what caused the congestion in
New York and the New England
states. Everything was shipped to the
same place. 1t was reported once or
twice that the Germans had appeared
around some of the, southern ports but
nothing was being shipped from down
there. The southern railroads had lit
tie to do because everything was being
rushed in the direction of New York.
The result was the worst congestion
the roads have ever known. Not I'M
til this year did the roads get their
cars back and we are now getting
some back that have been in the east
| three or four years. If we were ship
ping for Atlantic export now the stu
alton would be about as bad"
Moved by Boat In East.
Practically all of the wheat is NOV
ing to the gulf for export or to Chi
cago, but Fox says that practically no
wheat is being moved east of Chicago
by railroads. Instead it is going the
rest of the way by boats on the great
lakes. Chicago is now full of wheat,
as we'll as most of the gulf ports. This
| has resulted in a slowing down OF the
wheat movement So far iTp August, but
this class of business continues to be
| heavy.
Despite the heavy wheat movement,
Fox says the Santa Fe is not moving
maximum tonnage. He says the
eastern movement is about normal. but
says there is little to haul back This
results in many of the box cars that
have been sent east with wheat COM
| ing back empty. E~
