Col. Polk Declines to Discuss the Mass
• Meeting.
This morning Col. L. J. Polk, general
manager of the Santa Fe, was called oa
by The Tribune and asked if he had any-
thing to say lanent the mass meeting last
night to protest aigainst the removal of
the Santa Fe shops. He said:
“I do not consider that the meeting held
at Harmony hall was representative of
the commercial, business or shipping in-
terests of the city. For that reason I do
not care to discuss its action.”
Coil. Polk declined to make any further
statement and closed the interview.
When Judge Mann had concluded his re-
marks Mr. Terry replied. He said that he
had noticed that the lawyers in Galveston
did not refuse to take damage suits
against the Slantia Fe, He practiced in 30
counties in the state", and. he had noticed
no particular difference in the sentiment
of any of them. He did know that the
heaviest verdict ever recorded against
him was in Galveston county; the case
was reversed and afterwards compromised
for one-third of the -amount of the ver-
dict. He believed if such, a. strong senti-
ment existed in Galveston the lawyers
would take a change of venue in every
case—siay to Cleburne. As to making the
city a village,, so. far as he was personally
concerned he did not care whether it grew
or not. But it was. said that the great
body of the people wanted it to grow;
whether it was the real estate boomers or
the people he did not -know, but he did
know that if Galveston was to remain as
it as not a man would be moved by the
Santa Fe.
Mr. McMaster, was called upon for a
speech. He was greeted with applause
as.'he arose from his seat, but he did not
make a speech. Instead, he read a clip-
ping from a Temple paper, which he said
might have some bearing upon the case.
The article recited an interview which cit-
izens of Temple'were said to have had with
President Ripley of the Santa Fe, in which
they explained the conditions existing at
Temple, and after which explanation Pres-
ident Ripley assured them that the shops
would not be moved, also stating that he
had found upon investigation that the
proposed reduction of grades would be- so
expensive as to be- out of the question.
Mr. Terry said they would be glad for
Mothers Down in Dixie.
Mothers throughout Dixie testify to the merit and po. ularity of “GOOD LUCK” BAK-
ING POWDER in a manner that is very gratifying to its manufacturers. Where ‘‘Good
Luck” has been introduced, the mothers are such zealous patrons of it that the jobbing
trade buy in large lots. Since ‘‘Good Luck” is being introduced throughout this State now,
it will not be out of order to demonstrate its acceptability with the consumer in markets
where it has been introduced For this purpose a few points taken at random throughout
“Good Luck’s” territory are given below, together with the size of the carload the jobber
feels justified in buying at a time. The quantity affixed to each point does not represent
orders from several jobbers lumped, but each is a separate purchase. In some points four

The. following resolutions, which Secre-
tary McMaster siaid had been sent to his
table, were adopted with a whoop:
Whereas, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe railroad had its origin in G-alveston,
was first projected -and constructed by
Galveston capital, and the- line- was sub-
sidized by Galveston county in the sum of
$500,000 in b'onds; and
Whereas, the city -and county of G-alves-
ton have upon m-any and all occasions
substantially granted e-ach request of the
line for franchises and favors that were
and are worth hundreds off thousands of
dollars, resulting in a practical monopoly
off avenue A. and Strand for freight pur-
poses, and have made the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe the particular object of their
favor; and
Whereas, the location and maintenance
in this city of the shops and general of-
fices of the road were implied in all pre-
vious dealinigs and have been urged by
the road as good reasons for favors asked
from time- to time; and
Whereas, hundreds of employes of the
road have acquired homes here and be-
come citizens with the implied pledge oi
permanency, and that their removal will
cause great loss and inconvenience to such
employes who are our fe-llo-w citizens;
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the citizens of Galveston in
mass meeting assembled, that the pro>
posed removal off the shops from Galves-
ton is in poor grace and bad faith, espe,
ci-ally in view of the fact that the Gulf,
Colorado -and Santa Fe has refused in the
recent p-ast to accommodate its occupancy
of avenue A (applause) to other railroads
seeking 'to enter the City, and would not
accept the union depot franchise except
upon exclusive terms; and. it is further
Resolved, that the paltry saving in ex-
penses which it is claimed the road will
make by such removal is not to . be com-
pared with the multiplied favors and
grants heretofore made; and it is further
Resolved, that if the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railroiad remove its shops as pro-
posed, the city of Galveston -should at
office take legal steps to recover possession
of the city p-ark property in the east end
(applause), to regain control of avenue A
according to the strict letter of the orig-
inal grant, and in all other respects to re-
establish every right Which has by gener-
ous indulgence to a favored road been
. heretofore neglected, -and that Galveston
. citizens are aggrieved and deceived and
The Opening at Cycle Bark Highly
Successful.
W. F. Stewart-fs simply delighted with
the success of the- Cycle p-ark races. There
were more than IfliK) persons in attendance
last night and a -much larger crowd is ex-
pected foiniight. The enthusiasm shown by
the spectators wais evidence of what a
bold bike racin-gahas upon the public, and
if the sport is kept-clean—and Mr. Stewart
will make it his business to se-e that it is-o
there is little doubt that the enterprise
will be a winner irt every way.
It would havedbeen very pleasant last
night if the local voo&itingent had shown up
in better shape, tofit those flyers from the
northern part of the state were “too
many” as the /saying Is, for the Sand
Crabs. Bovee and--Loupe were the brighl
particular stars din the constellation last
night. Bovee hadfa pretty hard race of it
in the flve-mile/event, but he got there,
and that’s what he was after.
The electric lighting was good, all things
considered, and; when a few improvements
which Mr. Stewart has in mind are fin-
ished the track will be one of the fastest,
safest and best .in the state.
There were many persons of prominence
in the grand stand last night, and society
seems to look with favoi’ upon the sport.
While there was no record breaking last
night Loupe made a fast half mile iu the
third heat of the h!alf mile amateur. He
rode in 1.05, which ties the state half mile,
amateur record.
The big. race of the night was ’ the five
mile professional. It was highly exciting,
Bovee winning in a stirring finish by less
than two.feet. The time was 12.18.
Ed Kinsbury’s fancy and trick riding
proved to be a popular feature.
Mayor Fly responded to the expressed
wishes of the audience, and said that aside
from the mea of sentiment expressed by
Judge Mann, If the city had no legal right
to demand the retention of the shops he
believeid it had peremptory rights. He be-
lieved their removal would prove- detri-
mental to both the Santa Fe and the city,
and he hoped the determination would be
reconsidered. Incidentally he explained
an interview in yesterday’s Ne-ws in which
he had been quoted as using some “un-
Sunday school language^” He said the re-
porter had called upon him- just as he was
about to leave his office to see a patient
and asked him for an expression on the
Susie railroad question. He had told the
reporter that he was busy, but at the
proper time would state his position in
the premises. The reporter, with a per-
sistency which he could only liken to a
hound puppy gnawing (a bone, insisted
upon hi-s answering or upon quoting him
as declining to answer, and it was then
he used the “un-Sundlay school language',”
and he believed it had been correctly re-
ported. The only mistake he made was
in no-t dramatizing the reporter’s spinal
column with his boot.
Mayor Fly said he had. no. disposition to
shirk the- Susie question. He had said in
private -as he would have said in public
at the proper time that if two-thirds of
the aidermen gnanted the road a franchise
he would immediately sign it. Two years
ago it was said that the matter should be
left, to the courts. The supreme eourt had
decided in favor off the Susie; he st?oo-d by
the supreme coui't, and it would only be a
question of time until the Susie would
get what belonged to it. If the railroad
question is going to be" made an issue of
the mayoralty, he wanted to- go on record
as being in favor of more railroads. He
would like to see a dozen more of them,
and he hoped the business of the Santa
Fe would so increase as to warrant them
in increasing their shop forces by 500 or 600
men.
Adjourned.
There are seven races on the progwain
for tonight and there will be plenty of ex-
hibition riding between the prize events.
After the regular program has been dis-
posed of there will be a rubbers’ run, in
which -all the colored gentlemen in attend-
ance upon the races can take part.yi'his
should prove to he a star feature.
The program tonight includes one-quar-
ter mile amateur, one-half mile profes-
sional, one mile amateur, one mile profes-
sional, five mile amateur, two mile profes-
sional and one-mile professional, the latter
for Galveston riders only.

The above are facts, which the railroad records will substantiate. If ONE of the largest
purchasers of “Good Luck” from each of the above DOZEN CITIES should coincidentally
place an order on the same day, it would mean FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED

Mass Meeting Earnestly Protests
Against Proposed. Removal.
THE CITIZENS OF GALVESTON, IN
MASS MEETING ASSEMBLED, IN NO
UNCERTAIN MANNER WENT ON
RECORD LAST NIGHT AGAINST THE
REMOVAL OF ANY PART OF THE
SANTA FE RAILROAD SHOT'S FROM
THIS CITY. HARMONY HALL WAS
COMFORTABLY FILLED, LABORING
MEN PREDOMINATING IN THE AUD-
IENCE.
. President Courts of the Chamber of
commerce called, the- meeting to order,
and Mr. A. J. Rosenthal was elected chair-
man. He counseled the citizens to act
calmly and conservatively in whatever
course they should decide upon. He was
about to suggest that General Attorney
Terry of the Santa Fe, who occupied a
seat upon the platform with General Man-
ager Folk, be heard from, when it was
suggested that a secretary should be elect-
ed. Mr. C. H. McMaster was unanimously
chosen for the position. Then Mr. Terry
was, by motion, invited to state the Santa
Fe’s reasons for removing the shops.
He began by saying that he had been
placed in a rather embarrassing attitude,
because no- indictment had been presented
for him to answer. The citizens of Gal-
veston seem to think that they have some
peculiar right to control the affairs of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway com-
pany. The idea doubtless arises from the
fact that in 1875 the county of Galveston
voted $500,0000 in bonds, which were in-
vested in the stock of a company called the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway com-
pany. That company had built 43 miles
of track and then got stuck. In 1879 it
was sold under a deed of trust given to se-
cure floating indebtedness, and was
bought in by Mr. George Sealy for himself
and associates. They proceeded to or-
ganize a new company, the- present Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railway company,
and under the articles of agreement,
which he read, they issued to- themselves
stock at the ratio- of $5 to each $1 of money
invested by them. That stock they had
afterwards exchanged for stock of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway,
which, before it “busted,” went as high
as 118, and some of these- citizens of Gal-
veston had sold their stock at that figure,
and others at 80 to 90 cents on the dollar.
Therefore, Galveston had not been hurt
in that deal, and such men as John Sealy,
Henry Rosenberg and. George Ball had
given back to the city ten-fold all the
profits they had made in it. He hoped
that the others would be as liberal. The
new company, he argued, was as distinct
from the old Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
railroad company as the Gulf, Colorado
. and Santa Fe railroad company is from the
Galveston, Houston and Henderson.
He said the Santa Fe railroad purposed
to take but 193 men from the Galveston
shops. They are going to- Cleburne- be-
cause that point is central and because
the road can save money by concentrating
their shops. The road now has a pay roll
In Galveston of $49,000 a month, and the
reduction of the force here will cut the
Galveston pay roll only 15 per cent. He
characterized the opposition to the re-
moval of the shops as a. tempest in a tea-
pot. He said the Santa Fe railroad’s gross
earnings had been very good, but it had
not made money because of the heavy op-
erating expenses. Together with the Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas railroad, it had
been trying for the past two or three
years to haul grain to Galveston and to
carry out the idea upon which deep water
was secured. If it had not lost money up-
on this business it certainly had not made
any. The interests of the Santa Fe rail-
road lie in Galveston; it is the largest
real estate owner, with possibly two- or
three exceptions; in the city. It wants to
build up this port, and to that end the- pol-
icy of reducing expenses by concentrating
the shops arid -by cutting down grades be-
tween Fort Worth and Sealy has been
adopted. By this policy it will be able to
compete for' the grain business of the
west' and for import trade, and in a short
time the loss from removal of a portion of
the shops will bo more than compensated
to this city. The Santa Fe railroad, he
said, had. under way and in contemplation
$3,000,000 worth of improvements in the
state of Texas—more than all the i ailroads
combined. It has been working for Galves-
ton, and has hauled 95 per cent of its cot-
ton to this port, and, in addition, every,
pound of freight that it can possibly di-
vert this way. It pays the highest wages
of any railroad in the country, the reports
to the Texas, railroad commission showing
that its average wages are $2.04 a day, the
next highest being $2 a day, paid by the
International and Great Northern. It did
not purpose- reducing expenses by cutting
wages, but by the economies before men-
tioned. In this connection he stated that
all large railroad systems had their shops
at a central point. He mentioned the
Pennsylvania, which is the- most econom-
ically operated railroad in the United
States, the shops of which are located at
Altoona, a small town, and the- New York
Central, with its shops at Schenectady.
Fie referred to an article from the pen of
a prominent engineer, who had stated in
the May number of the North American
Review that a railroad could be so con-
structed from Chicago to New York as to
haul grain at 3 cents per bushel and make
a profit, and that for $7,000,000 to $10,000,000
present lines could be "so arranged as to
do business at that figure. Mr. Terry said
the Santa Fe under present: conditions
could not make the grain business pay; it
is c bliged to reduce its expenses in order
to meet the competition now existing, and
it may in time be called upon to meet the
condition suggested by the engineer.

Judge George E. Mann responded to
calls and made a very strong speech, in a
very ironical vein, protesting against the
removal off the shops. He said another
lawyer had bee-n selected to- speak for the
Chamber of commerce, but for some rea-
son was not present. He therefore came
unprepared to address the meeting, but
was greatly relieved to find from Mr.
Terry that the matter was trivial after
all; that it was only a matter of moving
170 odd employes instead of the entire
shops. “Well,” said, he, “if that is all, the
Santa Fe will reconsider.” (Applause.) It
was a small, matter t‘o- the- Santa Fe, but
a large matter to Galveston. Doubtless
President Ripley had figured to a nicety
how much money he would save in re-
ducing the men’s wages, by reason of the
difference in the cost of living at Galves-
_ton and at Cleburne;
Mr. 'Terry protested that Judge Mann
should make no such statement, as the
Santa Fe would pay the same'wages
Cleburne as are paid here. Judge Mann
thereupon wanted to know' how they
would save money. Continuing, Judge
Mann said Galveston did not want to- lose
these few men even. They are a part of
the bone and sineiw of our workingmen.
(Applause.) Galveston has been called a
mossbiack, but it is not mossbackism; it
is sentiment which actuates her people,
Every man in Galveston has had a love
for the Santa Fe because they feel that
they helped to build it by contributing
$500,000, upon which they, are still very
cheerfully paying taxes. They have from
sentiment p'atronized the 'Santa Fe in
preference to other railroads. They have
given this petted road for which they have
a deep affecti'on whatever it desired. When
the La Porte road asked for some assist-
ance in building to- Galveston the citizens
off this place refused to contribute a cent
because of their sentiment in favor of the
Santa Fe. One very prominent and dis-
tinguished citizen had said that he did
not want another railroad from Houston
because the Santa Fe could handle, all the
business for 50 years to come. That was
sentiment. (Applause.) He felt sure that
if Mr. Ripley could know these things, it
he could know how the Santa Fe asked
for the Strand and immediately got it,
how it asked for a track on avenue A and
immediately took the street and the people
winked the other eye, if he could know all
these things and the sentiment of tha
people of Galveston, he would reconsider
his action and not remove any of the men
from the shops. (Applause.)
“If the Santa Fe should buy the ‘Susie’
tomorrow this sentiment would let them
cross avenue A inside of 48 hours,” said
Jud-g’e Mann, and the audience broke forth
in a storm of applause that lasted several
minutes. He said there were a great
many people i'n Galveston who- would
rather have it a village than -a great city.
Sentiment is a great thing; it is priceless;
it is unpurchasable; it enters into our
every day business. The Santa Fe might
remove its shops and save a little thereby,
but whiat would it loose? He ventured to
assert that Mr. Terry ’would find in two,
years, if these men should be removed,
that the Santla Fe would more than lose
the amount saved in its business in the
courts. The jurors are but human; they
are unconsciously influenced by senti-
ment.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
Keep the wheels, of progress revolving
by patronizing your home- industries. If
you can name an article of beer in the
market today that is any better, if a,s
good, as that made by the Galveston
Brewing company, not another word will
be said in favor of the home enterprise.
All things being equal, give home- product
the preference every time. Ask for Gal-
veston beer.
