The retirement of 5' Moore has been expected for some time, as he has been in 111 health for months. He was granted a leave of absence from duty last summer and spent sev eral months in the lake regions of Wisconsin. He returned not long ago, but has been unable to spend much of his time in his office. Mr. Relchenbach, who has been In W. C F. Reichenbach, who becomes Santa Fe service for more than thirty years, has, since the failing health of his chief, been at the head of the de partment. Homer Fink, assistant cashier of the Santa Fe under A. Z. Gray, was some months ago transferred to help Relchenbach in the' paymaster . de partment and. his experience in that line of work and his ability caused his appointment today as assistant paymaster. James Moore is one of the best known' railway officials in the middle west and the most widely known pay master in the United' States. He was paymaster in the early days when the Santa Fe was only a short line from Atchison to the Colorado state line, before the Grand Canon controversy was settled and the Royal Gorge had been won in the courts by the Denver and Rio Grande. During all these years, Mr. Moore has been in charge of the sending out paychecks to em ployees all over the Santa Fe system. Born In Ireland. He was born August 27, 1848. In County Antrim, Ireland. In October of the same year he came to this countr- with his parents. He spent his boyhood in Brooklyn and at an early ae was apprenticed to a Arm of wholesale jewelers. In 1869, he came to Leavenworth. Kan., where he spent two years with a Jewelry man ufacturing company. - This company was eventually a failure and Moore came to Topeka to sell a patent ar ticle on the streets. He was selling wares on the street one day. in July, 1871, when an em ployee of the Santa Fe treasury depart ment came along, took an interest in him, and offered him a position. In August. 1872. Moore was made pay master. And he has continued in that capacity to this day and is the oldest employee in point of services on the entire system. Paid in Cash. In the struggling days of the Santa Fe, every person employed on the road was paid in cash, spot cash. The check system was not in vogue at the time. Consequently the road owned several pay cars. These were more like the armored war machines used In Europe than any piece of modern railway me imjimasier or tne San ta Fe operated one pay car. bis assist ant. W C. F.

When Paymaster Moore and his ear would rtach a point . where employees James Moore, the first and only paymaster of the Santa Fe. who baa re tired. Retirement effective November 1. were to receive their pay, the car was stopped. The men lined up in a single column and one by one marched up to the barred window to receive their rightful wage. While Moore was count ing out the money, the guards kept a strict lookout to see that no attempt was made to get away with the money in Moore's possession. Buffalo Held fp Train. Once when Mr. Moore, accompanied by several officers from Fort Leaven worth, was out on the line in central Kansas, a herd of buffaloes started to cross the track just before the train. The herd was so immense, that the train was stalled for several minutes. armaster of the Santa Fe railway on That was one of the many experiences that happened to Paymaster Moore at mat early period. In the early eighties, the pay car disappeared and Mr. Moore was not on the road as often as formerly. A year or two ago his health beeran to break and lately he has been physically un- auie to Keep quite up with his work. Signature on Every Check.

When the Civil war broke out, Reichenbach enlisted In the navy and served with distinction under Admiral Farragut. He was at the ISM10" batUe ' MbHe Bay, August 6. The new paymaster was engaged In banking business in Philadelphia from lf7 to April, 1879. In that year he en tered the service of the Santa Fe as as sistant paymaster with headquarters in Topeka. He has been assistant paymas ter since that date and has worked along with Mr. Moore for more than thirty-five years.

A dispatch from Teneriffe. Canary Islands, to the Dally Mail under date of Thursday reports the German cruiser Karlsruhe haa sunk thirteen l-ritlsh merchantmen In the Atlantic. - ' The report has caused much severe criticism of the failure to locate this commerce destroyer. It is believed that a fast cruiser squadron is now seeking the German which is variously reported as having a base In the Gulf of Mexico and somewhere near the Cuban coast. The news of the Karlsruhe's exploit according to the Daily Mail's Teneriffe correspondent, waa brought to that port by the German steamer Crefeld, which arrived there with the crews of the British summers Stratheroy, . Maple branch, Highland-,HQpe, . Indian. BJo Iguassu, Farn, Niceto, Maria de Lar rinaga; Cervantes, Cornish, City. Truth'. Condor and Lynrowrfhr all of which were sunk by the Karlsruhe. The Cre feld was accompanied into port by the German steamers Patagonia. Rio Negro and Asuncion. A later message states that over' 400 men of the crew are prisoners and that the merchantmen were mostly sunk in the Atlantic. The ships were mostly engaged in the South American trade and their total tonnage ia about sixty mousana. The cruiser Karlsruhe, a ship of a trifle less than five thousand tons, has had In this war, a career as eventful In the At lantic as that of her smaller sister ship, the Emden. in the Indian ocean. The Karlsruhe first came Into notice at the outbreak of the war when she ap peared In the vicinity of Sandy Hook, ap parently in wait for British merchantmen leaving New York. For a few days the rlritlsh shipping hugged their piers and then came news that the Karlsruhe had been driven away by the approach of sev eral British cruisers. On August 9, the Karlsruhe appeared in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, where she coaled and then again took to the sea. Soon after it was learned that the Karlsruhe had a sensational running fight at sea with the British cruisers Suffolk and Bristol. It appears that the ' British cruisers came unexpectedly upon the Karlsruils while she was coaling from the German steamer the Kron Prinx Wilhelm. The cruisers engaged in a running fight while the Kron Prlnz Wilhelm, through her superior speed easily escaped. The Karls ruhe also eluded her pursuers and an un confirmed report had It that she --damaged the Bristol in this fight. Since then the Karlsruhe has appeared in several West Indian ports for coal, after preying in various Southern seas on British commerce. An official state ment given out in nerlln on October S said she had sunk seven British steamers in the Atlantic. The Karlsruhe is a comparatively new snip.

That the slaughter In , these fierce efforts to break through opposing lines transcends anything heretofore seen is admitted on both sides. .

Furthermore it is asserted that three of these lighters are complet ed and already on their way to Scheldt. The Germans are building an airship shed in Schleswig for two large Zeppelins.

CONGRESS STAYS Cotton Men's Filibuster Pre vents Adjournment Planned. President Wilson Signs the War Rerenue Bill. - - - Washington. Oct. 23. It appears that unless an agreement can be reached for a recess until after the November elections, congress will stay in session Indefinitely without a quorum of either house in Washington. Filibustering of Southern Democrats, who are fighting for legislation to re lieve financial stress in the cotton states, upset carefully laid plans for adjournment of congress at 6 o'clock Led by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia the Cotton Belt members, at the last moment, prevented action in the senate 1 on a Joint resolution to adjourn sine die, already passed by the house. . The collapse of the adjournment pro gram came after every hope for its suc cess had been held out and supreme efforts had been made to accomplish the conclusion of the session, after adop tion in both houses of the conference report on the War Revenue B11L A spectacular feature of the situation was a dash by President Wilson in a motor car from a golf course to the capitol, to reach there in time to sign the War Revenue Bill before adjourn ment. The president rushed into the capitol, followed by secret service men, at 5:45 o'clock in the evening. Attired in his golf clothes and without his reading glasses he' hastened into the president's room, where the revenue measure, signed by Speaker Clark and Senator Clarke, president pro tempore of the senate, awaited him. "Borrowing glasses from Senator Hughes of New Jersey, the president signed the bill and several others which were waiting for him. The.

May HaTe to Send More Troops to China. - Washington, Oct 23. While the war department officials were unanimous In agreeing that there is no extraordinary excitement over the far eastern situa tion, they admitted that the Philippines are being armed and provisioned rapid ly. In part, the reason for this is a comprehensive armament plan, sanc tioned by congress, but a high official of the army general staff admitted that the far eastern situation lent some background to the activities. . Ammunition which two years ago was insufficient for one day"a fierce fighting in the islands has been re plenished. Just how much is on hand the general ttaff would not divulge for military reasons. Corregidor fort. a strong defensive point at the en trance to Manila bay, is understood to be undergoing heavy provisioning. The chief complication the far east ern problem has lent thus far in the islands to the harboring of unneutral vessels, many of which, it has been suspected, sttod to use the Philippines as a base of supplies lor vessels at sea. The armament plan for the islands aa outlined by the staff officer is that the Islands should be so strongly equip ped that they can withstand an assault until sucn time as tne navy oium ar rive and use the Islands as an offensive base.
