THE TOPESA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MARCH 18, 1912 3 RAILR0AD NEWS "Santa Fe De Luxe" Will Be in Seryice ext Season. Officials of Road Pleased With Extra Fare Train. GIVEN A GOOD PATRONAGE Luxury and Comforts Appealed to Rich in East. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. It Is ari-junced from the office of J. M. Connell, general passenger agent of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe in Topeka that the extra fare train the ' Santa Fe de Luxe" will be placed in service next winter. It has been de clared a success by officials of the road. The train westbound will be aban doned about the last of this monts. Eastbound it is possible that the "De Luxe" will run until the middle of May. Late in March all heavy west bound traffic to California falls off tn normal out of season business. But it takes the roads until the last of April or the middle of May to take care of the return travel from the Pacific coast to the east. The "Santa Fe De Luxe" was a new venture in railroad passenger travel. In order to handle exclusive travel from the east the Santa Fe designed a made-to-order train of the best equip ment on the market, gave it a schedule of the fastest time between Chicago and the coast and charged $25 extra for the privilege of using the cushions. For a time it was feared that the new venture would be a failure. In the first place it was not patronized and in the second place it was a strain to officials from Chicago to the coast try- j t n rr tn Vwn iit the schedule, -tsut n was early in December when the tria trips were made. Just before -nnsi. mas No one cared to go to Califor nia in the holiday season and for a few weeks the Santa Fe practically annunea thn "De Luxe." After the holidays the rich and the exclusive realized that they were ge -tlnz Viome comforts and exclusiveness all in one through the "Santa Fe de Luxe" travel. They began to see the worth of the $25 extra fare. And they rode on the train. Since that time the officials of the passenger department have watched the train's performance with satisfaction. Thev have seen two other railroads place "de luxe" train in service. They have advertised and made their train popular all over the United States. Next year the "Santa Fe de Luxe' will continue its work of the present season. A number of new accommoda tions will be added to the equipment. It will be a train that will set the pac for luxury and comfort in cross coun try travel. announced by the Chicago, Milwau kee & st. Paul railway, which has just completed the second tracking of its line to St. Paul and Minneapolis, a distance of 420 miles. The werk, which has been going on for several years, was necessitated, it is stated, by the fact that among the regions of densest traffic in the United States is that lying between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis. Extensive revision of line and grade reduction between the two centers also has been a feature of the im provement work which now has been completed. Two years o part of this was done between Chicago and Mil waukee, where the road has been dou ble tracked for many years. Between Milwaukee and La Crosse realignment work was done at the time the second tracking was put in, the work ex tending over a period of several years. Most extensive revision, however, has been along the Mississippi river, north ward from La Crosse to the Twin Cities, the work entailing the filling up of arms of the river and the cut ting away of bluffs in straightening the right of way. Incident to taking a place at the first two-tracked line to the Twin Cities, it is pointed out that the St. Paul was the first railroad in the coun try to operate electric lighted and steam heated trains.

That the new nnd unified system of freight inter change between the railroads entering Chicago will be in operation within a few months was the statement of rail road officials, discussing the plan for taking over the Inner belt line, which has been decided upon as a solution of the problem of freight congestion in Chicago. The roads participating In the contract are the Burlington, Pennsylvania, Alton, Atchison, Wa bash, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Grand Trunk, Monon, Rock Island, Erie, Chesapeake & Ohio, the "Soo" (controlled by the Canadian Pacific), Chicago, Madison & Northern (an Illi nois Central road), and the Illinois Central itself. The Chicago & West ern Indiana, operating the belt line, will buy the Chicago Union Transfer line and consolidate their business. All fourteen railroad companies become equal shareholders in thj belt line. The belt has been owned by the Wabash, Grand Trunk, Erie, Monon and East ern Illinois. About SO, 000 carloads of freight, averaging twenty tons each, arrive in Chicago every day. Fully half the amount intended for through ship ment is now. brought through the city. By the new arrangement this will all be diverted at the city limits and transfer will be vastly helped. DOUBLE TRACK ON MILWAUKEE. First Four-Rail Road Between Chica go and Twin Cities.

The Kaws fell on Taylor in the seventh inning and before three were out had hung eight runs up on the scoreboard. They added one score in the eighth and another in the ninth, cinching the game.- The Ti gers had been - leading by a large score until the fatal seventh. Burns doubled twice. King, Sor rensen and Walsh two timed once each. The pitchers are not in con dition, but at that the Topekans out hit Detroit. The Gears got away with only three errors, while Jen nings" seconds gathered seven. The crowd was a disappointment, only 1,070 paid admissions being re ported.

RAILWAY NOTES. An entirely new field is covered by an exhaustive work just completed by Albert MacRae, editor of the Santa Fe Employes' Magazine. The work is a compendium of useful information for railroad purchasing agents. It con tains an alphabetical list of supply houses, an "inquiry list" covering every conceivable commodity a rail road might buy, a trade name index, standard list prices, tables and charts showing the anatomies of railroad equipment. Mr. MacRae has had the co-operation of purchasing agents throughout the country in the work. A personal appearance campaign has been started by the management of the New York Central system. Em ployees of the lines comprising the New York Central group have been advised in a bulletin that the public is keen to notice little things. The Illinois Traction system has let the contract for steel rails, amounting to $50,000, to the Pennsylvania Steel company. These rails will be used upon extensions and in replacing light rails. A large sum is to be expended by the Santa Fe railroad in this vicinity after the expiration of the fiscal year, June 30, says a Pueblo report. It is said that something like $2,000,000 will be devoted to Improvements, in cluding repair shops and a large round house in Pueblo and a new system of switching yards, which is badly need ed. A new depot will be built at Fow ler and smaller ones at two other points between Pueblo and Fowler, Officials in Topeka have heard nothing of this report. The industrial department of the Erie railroad has just issued a colored industrial map of the system, showing the advantage of the railroad with re lation to manufacturing, fuel, mar kets, etc. Anthracite and bituminous coal areas and regions productive of gas and oil are depicted in colors, while a detailed description of the re sources available is given in the text.

Manager Gear treated the entire nnail to a supper at Scheer's cafe Sunday night after the game. He said he did it to show his apprecia tion of the way the players went against the big leaguers. The play ers here are all well treated. They are admitted free to all shows and a local garage gave the entire squad a free auto ride Sunday. Walsh at second is showing a lot of speed and Ryan and Lee are hitting the ball at a mile a minute pace. Both look likely. A Texan wanted to bet Secretary Wikidal any amount the Topekan would name that Gard ner hits nearer the .400 than the .300 mark in Topeka this season. Wikidal was timid and didn't take it. Some of the Kaws are showing midsummer form. They field and hit like it was August 1 instead of March. If there is any discord on the team it hasn't shown up yet. Gear is everywhere and everything the play ers say is of the manager. He has them all working and they seem an exceptionally willing and industrious bunch. Sorrensen is in condition, having been playing ball all winter. His curves have real hooks on 'em and he shows to a big advantage over the boys who have had little training this spring. The Kaws leave Shreveport Tues day for Ruston, where a college game will be played. CLEVELAND WELCOMES KILBANE PoUce Fight Way for Champion Through Crowd. Cleveland, March 18.

Grover Cleveland's memory was honored Sunday at a public meeting in the City college, commemorating his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary. Trib utes from President Tat't, Governor Dix of New York and Governor Har mon of Ohio, were read and eulogistic addresses were delivered by men with whom Mr. Cleveland was associated. The exercises were attended by Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland, widow of the former president, and Mrs. Daniel S. Lamont, widow of the secretary of war in one of the Cleveland cabinets. Grover Cleveland earned the sin cere gratitude of his countrymen and justified recurring memorial occasions like the one in which we are taking part," President Taft wrote. "He was a great president, not because he was a great lawyer, not because he was a brilliant orator, not because he was1 a statesman of profound learning, but because he was a patriot with the highest sense of public duty, because he was a statesman of clear percep tions, of the utmost courage of his convictions and of great plainness of speech; because he was a man of the highest character, father and husband of the best type, and because through out his political life he showed those rugged virtues of public servant and citizen, the emulation of which by those who follow him will render pro gress' of our political life toward bet ter things a certainty." Charles S. Fairchild, secrery of the treasury under Cleveland, pre sided. President Hibben of Princeton uni versity, of which President Cleveland was a trustee, paid this tribute: "We came to regard him not merely as the distinguished statesman and patriot, not merely as one who had been for two terms the chief magis trate of our land, but also as a great counsellor in education." Representative Thomas W. Hard wick of Georgia said he wished to express, on behalf of the Democracy of the south and of all the people of the south, "the deep respect and es teem we held for Mr. Cleveland in his life, the sorrow we had for his death and the pride with which we cherish his memory."

"Green Stockings," which will be played for the first time in Topeka at the Grand on Wednesday, March 20, by Margaret Anglin and her company, is by A. E. W. Mason. The story of "Green Stockings" is a new version of an old story; the story of a man who pretends that he is courting for another man and finds him self wooing in earnest. In this instance a man who is supposed to be dead ap pears as his own friend to discover what a particular woman is like. Miss Cella Farady is the eldest daugh ter of a rich country gentleman; she is clever, attractive, but she is 28 years old and considered to be an old maid. Her married sisters and her sister who is be trothed rather look down upon her. She surprises everyone by announcing that she, too, is engaged to a Colonel Smith, who has left England for Somaliland with his Tegiment. It's all an invention. Everyone suddenly makes much of her.
