Depot, Factory on WRIGHT SENDS IN RESIGNATION AS DlVlSlON SUPERINTENDENT 'First of President Hays’ Moves in the Reorganization of His Staff of Assistants. &0 * —— B. WRIGHT of Sacramento, one of the oldest and best known railroad men in the State, is no | O longer connected with the South- | ern Pacific Rafiroad Company. | His resignation is in the hands of General | Manager Kruttschnitt. W. S. Palmer, at present assistant superintendent of the | Western dlvision of the company, | with headquarters at Oakland, will | succeed Wright as superintendent of | the Sacramento division. The re- | tirement of Wright came as a | great surprise, for it was generally beliaved that his position was secure and | that no matter what changes might follow | the coming of President Hays Wright would not be disturbed. The removal of | Wright—for removal it amounts to, his restgnation having heen asked for by ManagereFilimore at the request of Presi- | dent Hays—has caused a feeling of un- easiness in the *“yellow building.” While it is stated on apparently authentic in- formation that no further changes are contemplated at present, many of the old employes are anxious and fear that any day they may te also asked to resign. While the railroad officials are reticent | as to the causes leading up to the retire- | ment of Wright, it is generally believed | that President Hays concluded that he was devoting mere time to his private in- terests than he was to the business of the raflroad. For the past nineteen years Wright has had full control of the Sacra- mento division of the road, with headquar- | ters at Sacramento, and he has been a potent power in politics. Much of his time was given to political work in the | interest of the company and he was re- | garded as one of the Sacramento | “bosses.”” President Hays does not be- { lieve in railroad politics, and Wright was | glven so to understand, but he did not | accept the hint. He is also largely inter- | ested in oil speculation and his propertles have taken up much of his-time. These | matters displeased President Hays and as ignation. “I have not filed my resigna- tion,” said Colonel Wright,,“and I have nothing to say for publication.” He asked to be excused, as he sald he really had nothing to say other than that he had been in San Francisco on railroad busi- ness. Despite Colonel Wright's refusal to make a statement, the fact that he has re- slgncd is conceded on all sides. uperintendent Wright is he oldest su- perintendent in point of service connected with the Southern Pacific Railroad Com- pany. He began the ratiroading business in 1871 as a brakeman on a freight train running to Nevada. He was advanced to the position of conductor of a freight train and later on to the post of conductor on a passenger train. His run for a time was between Stockton and San Francisco, and later between San Francisco and ramento. In 1878 he was appointed super- intendent of the Sacramento Valley R: road, known as the Placerville road, nnd held 'that position until 1882, when he Wwas appointed superintendent of the Sacra- mento division. He has remained in that position up to the present. Colonel Wright was regarded by all railroad men in this section as their friend, and he was very popular with them. It was always un- derstood by them that whatever griev- ances they had Wright would always ac- cord them fair play. During the mem- orable snow blockade of 1833 he and his corps of assistants did magnificent serv- '// A~ AN \ 'a,‘ it . = < \ SUPERINTENDENT OF WESTERN DIVISION OF THE SOUTHERN PA- CIFIC WHO IS TO RETIRE AT THE REQUEST OF PRESIDENT HAYS AND THE MAN WHO IS TO SUCCEED HIM AT SACRAMENTO. .

RERE Adding New Postal Routes Is Policy of the De- partment. FraE S A. W. Machen, Superintendent of the Postal Free Delivery Service of the United States, having charge of the city and rural delivery systems, made some interesting statements concerning the plans of the Postofice Department yes- terday in an interview with a Call re- porter. It is planned, so Mr. Machen said, to largely and at an early day in- crease the rural delivery routes, There are now about 3800 su routes upon which mail is delivered daily. On the first of July the number will be increased to 4300. This is a matter of interest to Cali- fornia, which is comparatively sparsely settled for the most part, but yet has so great an.area of comparatively level val- ley country that rural delivery is largely feasible. This State will share In the benefits to be derived from the extension of the rural service. ‘“The essential conditions,” sald Mr. Machen, “for the establishment of a rural free dellvery route are that there shall be roads (hat are casily passable and Lhat there shall be 100 families along .he line of the route. There are about 150 rural | delivery routes already in the States of | California, Oregon and Washington. The i service will be extended as fast as the | conditions warrant. The postal service this i year will come near wiping out the de- |flclency that has been common annually. I do not believe that the deficlency this | year will exceed $1,000,000 or $1500,000 at | the outside. The annual deficiency has : been as high as $11,000,00. This favors ex- tension.” | .,“The vostal service in the future,” said | Mr. Machen, “will be of three classes, mns ,\suburban and rural, and eventually the offices will become the centers for the ee delivery of all three classes. There are now 857 free delivery towns and cities in the United States.” — ———— 4 RECEIVER McKENZIE He Is Unable to Appear in Court and Testify in Contempt Pro- ceedings. F. D.
