cording TO Governor Henry J. Allen,
who has arrived here. Immediate re-
organization of the police departmen ent
was begun today to obviate the nee
essity of sending the troops.
Every man has the right to work. -
said Governor Allen, in issuing his
edict. No man should be compelled
to skulk from his work and sneak
down alleys and far streets for fear
of being beaten.
Every man in Kansas has the right
of protection, and he Will be pro-
tected.'
There have been a number of dis
turbances in Kansas City, Kan, of
late.
Adjt. Gen. C. I. Martin said today
that he had no orders of any kind re-
garding the proposal that troops be
sent to Kansas City. Kan. and that he
knew of no plans to put troops there.
General Martin also denied reports
that were in circulation to the effect
that troop units that had returned
from the encampment at Fort Sill,
Okla. were being held in readiness
for service wherever they might be
needed. He said these troops could
be called out on very short notice but
that no units not in service were be-
ing held mobilized.
The governors office this morning
had no information relative 10 the

sizes of freight engines, some of which
really belonged to second and third
class reserve.
The volume of freight traffic now
being handled by the Santa Fe is
enormous.
Quiet in Back Shops.
In the back shops, where the heavy
repair and construction work is nor
nially handled, I was struck by the
unusual quiet. Where the sound of
ponderous machinery. steam and air
pressure hammers ana the scream of
lathes usually is music to the busy
railroad, comparative quiet prevailed.
I found only about a dozen men at
work where there should be hundreds.
These men were working at lathes
On light pieces for what appeared to
he only running repairs for use by the
roundhouse force.
= There were any number of big en-
giaes waiting repairs.
IN the car shops and repair yards
there are enough men to handle the
light repairs on loaded cars and cars
of foreign lines. but the number of
bad order cars is astonishing.
Visits Burlington Shops.
At West Burlington, in the c. B. &
C. shops, the conditions are very much
the same but the force of men en-
ployed is only about one-hah normal
and Is being utilized only for the most
necessary running repairs. There is
10 reserve power on hand, but there is
a growing line of disabled locomotives
Like conditions prevail at several
minor points where I looked over
cold weather, with poorer ''steaming'
conditions will be well nigh disastrous
to the power. A mild winter is the
only salvation.

WON'T QUIT THE PHILIPPINES
Governor Leonard Wood to Remain
Until Rehabilitation Plan Finished.

Manila, Aug, 21.-Governor Leon
ard Wood will remain at the head OF
the Philippines administration until
the four-year program which is con-
sidered essential for the rehabilitation
of Philippine affairs is assured of be-
ing carried out.
Despite reports from the United
States that he will return to assume
his duties as provost of the University
Of Pennsylvania in January. it seemed
apparent today that he would be un-
able to leave Manila until the close
of the legislative session early in Feb
ruary or perhaps later if an extra ses-
sion of the legislature would develop.
