HINES IN THE CITY.
New System Will Make Trainmasters.
Roadmasters and Others Super-
intendents.
Col. J. C. Hines, father of the new
system of organization for the operat-
ing department of the Harriman lines
appeared in the city yesterday for a
few hours while on his way to tho
coast in the conduct of his work. The
change which is contemplated Is more
a change in name than in fact, though
the new system is devised so that it
will make of the men of the road, prac-
tical in all branches of the road’s work
It is proposed to do away with the of-
fices of trainmasters, roadmasters.
master mechanics and so forth and
make all the positions'come under the
name of superintendents. The differ-
ent superintendents will, in rotation,
become senior superintendents so that
some one time each man will have
been in charge of the entire force un-
der him. It is expected that the sys-
tem will increase the efficiency of the
various officers of the road and fit
them for wider service.
VAN SLVCK WILL ATTEND
CATTLE RAISERS’ MEETING
rate was alleged by local merchants to I
be discrimatory against Kansas City. I
The Kansas City Southern proposes
to reduce its 'rate between Galveston
and Kansas City to a figure that will
make the total rate from New York to
Kansas City via the Atlantic Coast
route and Galveston accord almost |
precisely with the Missouri. Kansas &

AND
PERSONALS.
Rumor That He Will Be Made General
Live Stock Agent At Kanaat City
To Succeed J. I. Conway.
H. S. Van Slyck, livestock agent for
the Santa Fe will leave this evening
for Fort Worth where he will attend
the meeting of the Cattle Raisers’ as-
sociation of Texas. Mr. Van Slyck is
personally known to almost every cat
tleman in this section of the country.
For some time there has been a rumor
among railroad and cattlemen that he
is in line for a promotion to the place
left open by J. I. Conway who was
the general livestock agent of the San-
ta Fe at Kansas City. Those who know
say that ‘‘Van" is the best livestock
man on the road today and that the
place of general agent should fall to
him, not only because of his popularity
with the shippers, but because of his
thorough comprehension of the work.
PASSENGERS LAY OVER HERE
Twenty Come in On Golden State Too
Late for T. & P. Connection.
About 20 passengers from the west
coming in on Friday’s Golden State
Limited formed a bunch of disappoint-
ed travelers when they found that they
had missed their connection with the
Texas and Pacific and would have to
wait _over until yesterday. Accord-
ing to the state law a train cannot be
held at a station more than thirty
minutes. The T. & P. officials held
their train just as long as the law al-
lowed and then had to pull out minus
about 20 Pullman passengers. The
train from tne West arrived twenty
minutes later and the passengers had
to go up town to the hotels for the
night.
Julius Kruttschnltt Is having the
El Paso-Del Rio division of the G. H.
photographed in order to show the
condition of the division as regards
its ballast and road bed. The work
has been given in charge of George
Hoadley of the engineering depart-
ment. It will be completed within
another week If the weather permits.
H. J. Small, general superintendent
of motive power of the Southern Pa-
cific, arrived in the city yesterday and
left on No. 7 for the coast where he
will join the inspecting officials who
are now at work looking over the
line.
General Agent C. M. Wilkinson of
the K. C. S„ left yesterday for Hous-
ton.
Claim Agent D. M. Prendergast of
the G. H„ has arrived in the city
from a trip to Del Rio and Alpine.
W. R. Brown of the Santa Fe, has

dian Pacific railroad. It Is announced to- j
day, will erect tills year at Vancouver a
two million bushel elevator, In which to
atore Canadian wheat for shipment to Mex-
ico nnd Kngland via the Horn. It will be |

FROST MAY HAVE
DAMAGED FRUIT CROP!
SNOWPLOW VICTIMS NOT
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Jumped From Plow and Rolled Down
a Snow Bank.
Inquiry at the Southwestern offices
today concerning the condition of the
men who were hurt in the snow plow
accident near Alamogordo on Friday,
elicited the information that the men
had been taken to the hospital at
Alamogordo where their wounds were
found to be much less severe than
was at first thought. The brakeman
Observor Lane Says, However, Trees j
That Have Not Bloomed Will
Not Be Hurt.
Observer Lane stated yesterday I
morning that during Friday night a
killing frost occurred in this section. |
The lowest temperature recorded was
23.4 which occurred at 5 a. m. Satur-1
day morning.
In the opinion of the- weather man ]
the frost would not be of great harm
to fruit trees that had not bloomed. I
The records of the office show that
killing frosts have occurred as late
as April 22nd. Mr. Lane stated that in
addition to smudge fires being used
to nullify the effects of severe frosts
on fruit trees, flooding the orchards
with water will often reduce the cold
several degrees.

KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN
CUTS GALVESTON RATE.
Competing Freight Charge* From New
York To Texas.
Kansas City, March 13.—The Kan-
sas City Southern railway today made
a cut In freight rates from Galveston
to Kansas City to meet in part the
rate of SI. 10 promised by the Missouri,
Kansas <k Texas railway from New
York to Oklahoma City. The latter
renewed the battle. Pitchforks and
bottles played a part in the engage-
ment and for a time the crowd wit-
nessed a fracas of absorbing Interest.
Bowden is a little negro of whose
wrinkled face Billy Van might well
be envious and his description on the
witness stand, of the fight, would show
up well in vaudeville. Johnson Is said
to have “cussed” Officer White, who
made the arrests. Being a prominent
party to the affair Johnson's fine was
$10. The others- were assessed $5
for their frolic.
