THE TOPEKA DAILY STATS J OUHITAIr--- 1Y Virc.;o HAY 17, V 7 r RAILR0AD NEWS. Atchison Has Been Made Mo. Pacific Division Point. All the Bed Ball Business to Be Handled There. AFFECTS MANY RUNS. Work in tire Central Branch Shops to Be Increased. Other Items of Interest in Hallway Circles. Atchison is now the division point of the Missouri Pacific Red Ball freight runs between Kansas City and Omaha. The twelve train crews and nine en gine crews that are now making their headquarters in either Omaha or Kan sas Vifcy,- from How on will make their, headquarters and. layovers in Atchison. This, new departure affects over thirty six men. These runs are being advertised now. The oldest men will have the prefer ence, of course. But if they do not see fit to apply for the runs, younger men will step in. For that reason it is a difficult matter to determine now who will be the men to move to Atchison as a result of the change. But whoever decides to take the runs it means that Atchison will gain about thirty-six families, unless a few of the men who are now making their headquarters in Kansas City, or Omaha, have their families residing in Atchison now. The runs are being advertised in this wise: Vacancy, three conductors, six brakemen, on runs 153 and 156, between Omaha and Atchison. Vacancy, three conductors, six brakemen, runs 159 and 154, Omaha to Atchison. Vacancy, one conductor, two brakemen, runs 158 and 175, Kansas City to Atchison. Three crews to turn around in Kansas City and lay over in Atchison. Vacancy, 3 conductors, six brakemen, runs 159 and 156, Omaha to Atchison. Vacancy, three conductors, six brakemen, runs 153 and 154, Omaha to Atchison. Va cancy, three conductors, six brakemen, runs 175 and 158, Omaha to Atchison. All these runs to be filled Tuesday, June 2. The last time Atchison was a divi sion point for these Red Ball runs was prior to March, 1907. In 1898 Atchison was made the division point, and thus succeeded Hiawatha. This change will mean more work for the Central Branch shops. For a short time the engines used on these runs will make the through trips from Kansas City to Omaha without stop ping any longer in Atchison than to allow the changes of crews, but, event ually, the engines will be changed In Atchison, also, and the round house work at the shops will be made heav ier. GEORGE RATNTKR I .OSES JOB. Railroads Clone Western Passenger Association Offices. The Colorado offices of the Western Passenger association have been closed as a result of the present business de pression. This has caused a radical change in the method of handling the tickets from eastern points to Colo rado. Under the system which the Western Passenger association employ ed the coupons which were Issued on Colorado tickets for the return trip were handled at the offices of the as sociation and It wcs necessary to go to considerable trouble in order to ex- V I0US-WH0L One package, 10 cents, makes one pint of wholesome Fruit Jelly. All Savors from trae fruits. UilTlni,cwunLESn change the stubs for the return ticket and this took considerable time as the return tickets were mailed to the offices of the association in the differ ent Colorado cities. This was a safe guard which the railroads used against ticket scalpers but it worked consider able hardship on the traveling public. The Rock Island has issued a new ticket which is handled only by the agent at the selling office and the pas senger retails his ticket all the time, both going and returning. The tickets which are now sold are arranged with coupons which include all the side trips and return trips, and are detach ed by the conductor. A former Topekan, George Balnter, who is well known here, was agent for the Western Passenger association at Colorado Springs, and as a result of the recent abolishment of the office is without a position, although ne expects to accept a position with one of the roads centering in Colorado Springs. ADVANCED FREIGHT RATES. Meetings Held In Chicago for Con sideration of Increase. Chicago, May 27. The hostile action of the commercial organizations throughout the country has not stop Ded the movement toward a 10 pet- cent increase in freight rates. Today two railroad freight associations, the Transcontinental Freight bureau and the Western Trunk Lines association. are -in session, each for the purpose, of completing a "check" of freight rates made upon a basis or an increase of 10 per cent in all rates. The work of the roads in the west ern classification territory will not be completed for at least three weeks, ana the transcontinental lines may be at work upon the proposed increase for some time to come. The lines in both territories, however, have decided that If It can be worked out. such an ad vance should be brought about. The railroads which are members of1 the Transcontinental Freight bu reau control all rates and and from the territory west of the Rocky moun tains. Every commodity which is shipped into that territory from any point without or anything that is ship ped from it to any point without, is shipped under rates and tariffs pre pared by tne Dureau. As in the west ern classification territory, there are ten classes Into which freight is di vided for shipment five lettered and five numbered classes. Four of these classes are for less than carload ship ments and six for carload shipments. HE WAS HOMESICK. Kansan at Ias Vegas Longs for Ills State. Las Vegas. N. M., May 27. Charles A.

Among the witnesses was Frederic A. Delano, president of the Wabash railroad, who Insisted that depreciation on American rail roads practically took care of Itself. or was taken care or toy present meth ods to the best interest of the prop erty and or the stockholders. The situation was put forcibly by Mr. Delano, who said: "It Is certainly to the interest of the community as a whole that railway corporations shall be managed conservatively and that their securities, so far as possible, shall be free from wide fluctuation. To Include In operating expenses a charge for depreciation equally in bad times with good would mean re duced dividends In most cases and bankruptcy in many." RATON TUNNEL COMPLETED.

The other man is tried by a lenient judge, who gives the minimum punishment. It is easily seen that this is Injustice.. This is only one of hun dreds of instances I cpuld cite.

BEST TOBACCO IX THE WORLD. Cnba Has a Monopoly on Production of the Weed. New York. May 27. The only coun try to which nature has given a mon opoly of any product is Cuba and the product is tobacco. For years at tempts have been made to produce equally as good tobacco in other sec tions of the world, including France, Germany and the United States, but so far they have been unsuccessful. The Cuban climate and soil produce the most perfect and aromatio tobacco- -in the world. Above picture shows the experiment which a wealthy planter, Mr. Marks, tried out, first in a small way. It w-as to inclose the fields in canvas and pro duce perfect tobacco. At the time he Inclosed an acre his friends said that it would be impossible for him to pro duce enough better tobacco .to pay for the expense, but he persisted and the -experiment proved successful. He now has 110 acres inclosed and from these 110 acres it Is reported he receives 1225,000 for the product in the field.

Otherwise there was no chance from the existing assignments. but the report started a hot debate which extended the lengtn ox tne session nearly an hour beyond its usual time of adjourn ment and when the session finally closed the matter was still unacted upon; The discussion started with a motion by a southern California delegate to substi tute Los Angeles for Philadelphia In the list of cities named. A Philadelphia mem ber moved to lay the substitute on the ta ble, but his motion was lost 36 ayes; 268 nnva A motion to recommit was voted down decisively. Speaking to an amend ment substituting IJetroit for lm .angeies, Dt. Dickie of Albion. Mich., declared that Detroit had been selected by the commit tee, but last night in the absence of those in charge of the Michigan city's Interest, there was a recasting of the. list and De troit was omitted. Dr. John -Sweet, -Detroit, confirmed this statement and gave reasons which he maintained demanded that Detroit be fixed upon as the head minrtem nf one of the bishops.

It l possible in the opinion of some experts mi me outcome or. tne lessons that will be taught by the instruo.tivo at tack of the monitor Arkansas with her oig u incn guns, and the torpedo boat Morris, with her Americanized white head torpedoes upon the monitor Flor ida, will be the most radical changes in naval construction; if not in the hull, then certainly in the armor pro tection now afforded. The experiments will be verv enstlv. and without doubt severe criticism will be directed at the navy department not only by publicists identified with the "Little navy"- party but economically mrnueu legislators... The startling '.experiment conducted a year or two r ago, at Sandy Hook by Hie national- army officers really made this test of today, necessary. On that occasion the army ordnance officers invited a few navy men down to the Hook to see them shoot some high ex plosive shells at armor plate of var ious thickness and inclined at different angles to the line of fire. The high, explosive shell slmnlv rip ped the plates into fragments, and as these plates fairly represented the ar mor of a protected, deck, the naval offi cers quickly saw that Jf those shells would do the same work upon a float ing ship, not a vessel in the navy could be regarded as safely armored. This terrific explosive was the discovery of a West Point graduate in the ordnance corps, 'who .patriotically made it over to .the United States government. THEY GET TOGETHER.
