The an- | ncuncement is the first official notification of the fact that some such action is ac- tually pending. “The new link, however, is not the one rumored so long. A line to Roswell would be too indirect to be part of the new main line in competition with the direct line the Rock Island is building from Amarillo to Santa Rosa. The vaguenes of the description of the line in the an- nouncement leaves it possible for the Western terminus to be anywhere south of Albuquerque and the eastern terminus anywhere east of Amarillo. “The Rock Island is starting to build a line between Amarillo and Santa Rosa, in a direct line to Albuquerque. This will In the: days of direct routes it is safe to say that the Atchison’s main line, If it does | not actually use the Reck Island rails to | Sunta Resa, will be very near it. { 1 | “The new Pacific route broadly hinted Atchison will give almost an air line from Kansas City to Albu- querque, avoiding the very heavy grades of the La Junta route and savipg more than 300 miles of that round-about route.

LONDON, Oct. 24.—The royal progress through London to-morrow, which has been arranged at considerable expense with a view of allaying the disappoint- ment caused by the abandonment of the second day's procession at the time of King Edward's coronation, promises to be a less fashionable than a popular dis- play. The route is dotted with Venetian masts ané¢ the habitual grayness of the streets is relieved by tlags, festoons and garlands of paper flowers, while a few of the more anbitious districts have erected arches. Among the wealthier ones who usually bear the brunt of making a success of such occasions there is a decided lack of interest. Piccadilly and St. James street will rot be traversed. Much curiosity has been aroused by the disappearance of the names of the King's daughters from the list of those partici- pating in the procession. Neither the Prircesses of Wales, Fife or Charles of Denmark are included in the latest of- | ficlal programme, in the earlier ones. The procession will start from Bucking- ham Palace at noon and the route will be lined by about 20,000 troops. though they appeared WALKS TO GALLOWS JOKING WITH OFFICERS Indian Is Hanged for the Murder of a Prospective Mother-in- Law. SIOUX FALLS, Oct. 24—Walking Shield, a Rosebud Indian, was hanged here to-day for the murder of Mrs. Ghost- Faced-Bear on the Rosebud Indian reser- vation May 8, 1902. On the way to the gallows the Indian joked with the Marshals. The murdered woman was the mother of the girl with whom Walking Shield was ecnamored, and the Indian‘killed her “so she would not be in the way.” Last nighf at sun- down Walking Shield sang a weird death song, as is the custom of the Indians about to die. pRAAET LT, Babe Smothered in Blankets. MARYSVILLE, Oct. 24.—The infant son of Willlam Woodward and wife, well- known residents of Vallejo, was smoth- ered to death last night at the parents’ camp, south of Willows. The Woodwards sizrted from Redding recently to travel by team to their home, camping along the roadsids at night. Last night was extremely cold and to protect the baby the mother wrapped it in heavy blankets. At 2 o'clock she reached over to gee how the child was doing and was horrified to discover that it had died from suffoca~ tion. ik & Wil Bedridden for Fifty Years.

Want 2 Raise of Fifteen Per Cent ard Unifcrm £cale : of Wages. Assistant to President Harriman In- forms Committees That Matter Will Receive His Early Attention. — e The general officers of the Southern Pa- | cific Company are very busy just at pres- !enl listening to ‘the complaints and de- | mands for higher rates of wages made by fheir employes. A few weeks ago The | Call announced that the members of the | Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, | the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Trainmen were dissatis- fled all over the country and that possibly | the lines of the Southern Pacific would i be selected as the battleground for the i betterment of their present condition. { The statement of The Call has been ver- ified in the fact that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has placed before { Assistant to the President Julius Krutt- | schnitt a schedule of higher wages, which, | summed up in a general way, is a demand for a 15 per cent raise over the Southern | Pacific's entire system. The demand of the engineers was handed in by a_“griev- | ance” committee to Superintendent of | Motive Power Small. He placed it be- | fore Mr. Kruttschnitt, who later received | the committee and told the members that | their demand would recelve his early at- jon and that he would as soon as he had come to a definite de- | cision in the matter. This all happened !a week ago. The engineers told Mr. ! Kruttschnitt before retiring that his ac- tion was perfectly agreeable to them, | that they did not wish to hurry him about | their demands and that they would wait patiently until he had given the question his careful consideration. TELEGRAPHERS’ DEMANDS. | \ Yesterday afternoon a “griévance’” com- | mittee from the Order of Railroad Teleg- raphers called on Assistant to the Pres- ident Kruttschnitt and was closeted with him the greater part of the afternoon. | The railroad telegraphers have been in scssion in this city for the last two weeks | and as a result of their meeting they con- cluded to demand more remuneration for their work. It has been learned that one of their chief grievances is the fact that | there is not a uniform scale of wages over | the system. | In some stations a rallroad telegraph { operator recefves a salary of $10 a month | and at another point his fellow worker receives $75 a month. The operators want to see a uniform schedule of wages | placed in effect as soon as possible. | At the conference yesterday afternoon | Mr. Kruttschnitt called in Manager | James Agler. It is understood that at | the close of the interview Kruttschnitt in- formed the telegraph operators that their demands would receive his attention and that he would inform them of his decision as soon as possible. The next on ‘the programme who are expected aroupd “the big yellow buflding" are members of the United Brotherhood ¢f Railway Employes. This organization, which is practically In its infancy, has never been recogpized officially by Mr. Kruttschnitt. Itffin fact represents all branches of raliroading. THOUSANDS IN TUNION. Officers of this organization assert that | there are 8000 members in this union em- | ployed on the lines of the Southern Pa- cific and that in all they are now 15,000 strong. This statement is treated with in- credulity by the general officers, and whether Mr. Kruttschnitt will receive a grievance committee from this organiza- tion cannot be learned. The train crews, which are represented by the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhcod of Traintfen, have not as yet presented a demand for a higher rate of wages fo the Southern Pacific of- | ficlals. It is known that the train crews | all over the Southern Pacific have signed a petition to a man asking for higher | wages and that they have met in secrot gession and have made preparations to present their grievances. The railroad employes, in their demand for higher wages, all complain that they tind that the cost of living has been raiscd 40 per cent and that at the present rate of wages they are unable to put aside any money for “a rainy day.” On the | other hand, railroad earnings, they state, | were never higher. “I.guess the Southern Pacific can't be kicking at the money it is making,” sald a raflroad employe yesterday. “I will | give you just one example. The Southern Picific has been doing such an enommous freight business in the last few months that their lines between Ogden and San | Francisco became congested.

At a late hour last evening it was learned that the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers and ‘the Order of Railroad Telegraphers have asked for a decisive an- swer to their demands on or before No- vember 1. PLANNING A HIGHWAY TO CONNECT TWO COUNTIES San Joaquin Supervisors Submit a Project to Those of Santa Clara. SAN JOSE, Oct. 24.—The project of a county road to connect the Santa Clara and San Joaquin valleys by way of Mount Hamilton is being agitated. Supervisor E. P. Newhall of Stanislaus County is now in the city seeking to interest the Schta Clara County Supervisors. The Stanislaus County line is a distance of about fifty-five miles, and if Santa Clara County can be prevailed upon to maintain a road from Lick Observatory to the line | of Stanislaus County that county is pre- | pared to build a highway to meet it. From San Jose to Mount Hamilton and | down the other side into the San Antonio Valley, eighteen or twenty miles from Mount Hamilton, there is a good roa: From San Antonio Valley there is an- other road that with a little work could be put into good shape, leading to the Summit quicksilver mine, a distance of four miles. To the Stanislaus County line from the Summit mine, over which a road would have to be constructed, is about foyr miles more. A road coming in from the San Joaquin Valley has its terminus four miles from the line. In case both counties could 2gree on an intercounty highway Stanis- laus would have to build four miles of road and this county a little more, and do some repairing. e proposed road into the San Joa- quin Valley, to the river of that name, would be about 100 miles in length, and the shortest cutoff into that section of the State from San Jose. Rainstorm Saves the Town. SALINAS, Oct. 24.—News was received here this morning of the narrow escape of the town of San Lucas from destruc- tion by fire last evening. Flames broke out in the rear of a barber shop occupied by A. Hartman. Within a few minutes they_ had destroyed two- adjoining build- ings, occupied by F. Beasley, butcher, and J. Richardson, dealer in harness and sad- dlery. The fire had spread to other bulld- ings, when fortunately a heavy downpour of rain extinguished it. High School for Pasadena. PASADENA, Oct. . 24—Pasadena will scon have one of the handsomest High Schoals in the State. Yesterday the Board of Education unanimously decided to pur- chase of R. M. Furlong three acres of ground on the corner of Walnut %street and Los Robles avenue for $24,000, upon | which a §76,600 schoolhouse will be erect- ed. One hundred thousand dollars of bonds were voted for this purpose on August 5.
