HT. LOUIS, Oct. 31. Getaway day at
Klnloch park woi ushered In with u driv

sea of atlcky mJd and ushered out with
one of the most sensatlonul Incidents
know to the turf In this country. The
card was one of the very best offered by
th association nnd four favorites and two
outsiders turned tip as the winners.
As tho Held' In the last race was round
ing tho far turn the spectators In the
grandstand were Htnrtled to seo the smoke
of four shots arise from a cornfield Just
beyond tho course. Almost Immediately
. afterward do Out nnd- Guide Hock were

rhe horses are shot'" "The Jockeys nre
shotl" went up from hundreds of thro.-it.s
nnd a rush was made In the direction of
the turn. It was found upon Investigation
that the shots had not been fired at the
horses and riders, but that the spill was
due to them there Is no doubt. B.isslnger
said after tho occurrence that Go Out
swerved upon hearing the reports und
collided with Guide Hock. The Jockeys
wero badlv shaken up, but had no bones
broken. Guide Hock came out of the col
lision unscuthed, but Go Out sustained a
broken shoulder. It wns said In some quar
ters that the shots had been tired to ac
celerate the speed of Domsle, one of tho
first cholres, but this could not be con
firmed. President Joseph D. I.tlcns said
tho matter would be thoroughly sifted and

SOUTHERN HAS NEW DIGNITY
Eoad Which Leads Nowhere Now Becomes
Chicago-Gulf Thoroughfare.
GATES SPEEDILY UNLOADS HIS INTERESTS
?ale of Old Port Arthur IHspeU Ilx
peetntlon thnt Line from Onmhii
to Gnlf Will He Consolidated
Under One Jlahnnement.
The announcement of the sate of the
Kansas City Southern securities by John
W. Gates to a syndicate representing con
necting lines marks another epoch In tho
eventful career of the old Port Arthur
route. The transfer Is' regarded as highly
Important In Us relation to southwestern
railroad affairs and also In connection with
Pacific coast business. The peculiar feature
In the case Is that Mr. Gates but recently
purchased a controlling Interest In thu
Kansas City Southern securities and his
early disposition of tho same Is a matter
of considerable comment In railroad and
financial circles.
The new purchasers of the road arc:
James Stlllman, representing the Rocke
feller Interests In the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas; Kuhn, Loeb & Co., representing the
Union Pacific; K. II. Harrlman, represent
ing the Chicago Alton, and George Gould,
representing the Missouri Pacific. Tho so
curing of the control of this lino by the In
terests now Identified with It means that
the Kansas City Southern will reach an In
fluence heretofore never attained. It will
do away with an actlvo disturbing element
which has been present In tho southwest
situation for some time past and tho Kan
sas City Southern will be relieved, by
reason of tho Importance of Its connec
tions, of the old Imputation of being a
road "starting nowhere and going no
where." Under the new control tho road
becomes the direct line from Chicago to
the gulf, and by means of the Union Pa
cific a direct route to the Pacific The
amount Involved In the transaction com
prised 16,600,000 In bonds and about $3,500,
000 In stock.
I.oenl .Men Are Carious.
One thing that particularly Interested
Omaha railroad men when John W. Gates
originally purchased the control of the
Kansas City Southern and creates a like
Interest now Is the question of tho connec
tion of the Kansas City Southern Into
Omaha. Had Mr. Gates continued In con
trol there was little doubt that eventually
tho Kansas City & Northern and the
Omaha & St. Louis would have been
merged into the Kansas City Southern,
owing to Mr. Gates' large Interests in the
three companies, and the line from Omaha
to the gulf would have been under one
management. It is believed that under the
present conditions the Omaha & St. Louis
Is entirely out of the bargain, since the
Missouri Pacific will come In for any bus
iness that originates on the Kansas City
Southern destined for Omaha, and vice
versa, for the reason that President George
Gould figures prominently In the recent
purchase of the Kansas City Southern,
SOUTHERN PACIFIC POLICY
Under evr Management There Will
He Greater Llbernllty Than
HuntlnKlon Allowed.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31. The Mail and Ex
press Bays today:
Tho appointment of Charles M. Hay to
be president of the Southern Pacific will
mark the beginning of many changes In tho
western railroad situation, as well as In
the management of the Southern Pacific
ItEolf. In the first place, Mr. Huntington's
Independent and aggressive policy will give
way to a more friendly spirit and It can
be said that early steps will be taken to
renew the old traffic alliance on a basis
closely resembling a pool.
Mr. Hay, while with the Grand Trunk,
pursued a policy that was calculated to
make friends with western roads and his
Intimate knowledge of the Grand Trunk's
Ival, tho Canadian Pacific, will cnablo blm
protect the Southern Pacific's through
traffic to tho coast.
So far as the Pacific Mall Steamship
company Is concerned It Is considered that
It will be controlled by several of the big
western railroads and that it will no longer
be used as n whlphandle by the Southern
Pacific. Such a Joint control would make
for the improvement of all the railroads
and all would be great gainers.
It Is said Mr. Hay has been given to
nderstand that close alliances between
the western roads will be made and he will
manage the Southern Pacific along these
lines. As regards the Southern Pacific It-
elf Mr. Hay will pursue much the samo
policy as on the Grand Trunk nnd Wabash.
Ills constant aim has been to cut down
pcrating expenses without injuring the
road.
A more friendly policy toward the Atch
ison will be pursued and it ts understood
there will be some understanding between
the two companies ub to new construc
tion, where their territory overlaps, as In
tho caso of the New York Central nnd
Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK. Oct. 31. The Mall and Ex
press tare; One of the new members of the
Kansas City Southern voting trust said to
day, there was no Intention of ' operating
the Kantai City Southern In connection with
any of the southwestern systems that have
taken an Interest In It. "It will be conducted
strlctfy on Its merits," ho said. "Those
who haro been recently In control of tho !
property have been disposed to conduct It '
In a rather reckless manner In order to
make It profitable as a rate slasher. What
Is proposed now, Is to malntnln rates by
means of the Kansas City Southern and
not to shatter them. President Knott Is
entirely satisfactory to tho management as
an operating man." It Is learned that
John W. Gates Is likely to maintain bis
Interest In the road.
Division of I n't in I if rn lit llaslness.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31. No agreement as to
the future division of Immigrant traffic was
reached today nt tho conference between
Traffic Manager Kerr of the Canadinn Pa
cific and passenger officials of the western
lines in the Immigrant pool. The Canadian
Pacific wants a share of the Immigrant
traffic out of Atlantic ports In the United
States, but does not want to give them a
sLaro of tho traffic from Canadian ports.
The western roads want to divide the busi

South Omaha News .
The prospects of securing a steam fire
engine for South Omaha are brightening
dally. Mayor Kelly said Tuesday that the
delay in making arrangements for an en
gine had been caused by the desire of the
administration to secure tho support of the
various fire Insurance companies doing
business in this city. With the Idea of
securing cash contributions from the fire
Insurance companies Mayor Kelly ad
dressed a letter to the underwriters' asso
ciation. Yesterday a reply was received
to the effect that th Insurance companies
had declined to donate anything toward thu
purchase prlco of an engine. This virtually
leaves tho matter up to the municipality
and the packers.
In this connection the mayor said: "I
expect to meet the representatives of the
packing establishments and the Stock
Yards company In a few days to see what
can bo done. I am Inclined to believe that
these big corporations will assist mate
rially In the purchase of a steamer, as the
need of something of tbe kind Is admitted
on all sides. Prom conversations I have
had with packing house managers I am
convinced that tbe donations from these
sources will admit of tho immediate pur
chase, of an engine. Of course It tho pack
ers contribute enough money to buy a
steamer the city will have to maintain It.
This will cost 'considerable, as a' team of
heavy horses can hardly be bought for less
than 5300, while harness will cost J100
more. Then there will bo other equip
ment, besides the salaries of the men as
signed to operate tho apparatus."
It is possible that something will be
dono this week about this matter, though;
possibly the question may be deferred until
after election. At any rato tho mayor and
council will push the project with a view
to placing tho engine in servlco at tbe
earliest possible moment.
It Is expected that the lire hall In the
Second ward will bo completed by Novem
ber 15 and it will be equipped as soon after
as practicable, Some difference of opinion
exists between the committee on Are and
water as to Just what sort of an apparatus
should be purchased for this new house.
On the grounds of economy Mayor Kelly
has been advocating a hose reel, as he says
one can be secured at about half the cost
of tbe ordinary type of hoso wagons. Fur
ther, the mayor asserts that hose wound on
a reel lasts longer than when folded In a
wagonbed. Tho only advantage of a wago'n,
he says, is in making quick runs, a wagon
being more easily handled than a cart.
Several discussions have been held and
tho mayor has finally told tho committee
to Investigate both reels and wagons aad
do what It thinks best. At least S00 feet

of hose will have to be purchased at a
probable cost of JP00, ns Maltese Cross
hose Is now quoted at Jl 10 per foot. No
steps have been taken as yet for the pur
chase of n team for the new fire hall, but
within n short time some of the members
of the council will take a trip out Into the
corntrx for the purpose of looking over a
number of horses considered good enough
tor fire department purposes.
Residents of the Sevond ward are taking
considerable Interest In the establishment
of n tire hall In their midst and are anxious
I to have the apparatus placed In service as
'soon as possible.
Hospital Hottoim on Sale.
The dime social given by the women of
the Hospital association at Masoulc hall
last night was a pleasant affair. Tho sale
of lapel buttons for the raising of a fun1
for u new hospital was started and quite
a number were sold. Today committees
will take charge of the work and & thor
ough canvass of the city will bo made.
Mrs. Holmes, president of tho association,
says that every one Interested In the
prosperity of South Omaha and the ad-
vnnccmcnt of tho cause of humanity must
wear a button, "if you don't wear a but
ton," she says, "we will think you are
against us." Every confidence is ex
pressed that the 2,000 buttons now on hand
will be readily sold and that another supply
will have to be ordered before long. The
corporatlrns, who are the largest patrons
of the hospital, will be expected to come
to the front nicely and they doubtless will.
Then the business men will buy and so
will nearly everyone else. Several sites
for the proposed building are under con
sideration, but no definite steps will be
taken until sufficient money Is secured to
warrant the purchase of ground for a
building.
H. M. Christie, 2420 N street, Is In charge
of tho distribution of the buttons.

CONQUERING the AIR
Successful Flight at Last
'T'H IS year has witnessed the culmination of
the century's efforts in aerial navigation.
Balloons in Germany and France have reached
a remarkable degree of perfection but
Count Zeppelin's Air Ship
is the first which has successfully navigated the
air against the wind carrying passengers. 1 lis
aerial ship marks a great advance, and is
believed to be the forerunner of cralt which can
be used in commerce with speed and safety.
This article is written from personal experience
by Eugen Wolf, the Count's assistant who has
helped operate it. For the first time the dream
of conquering the air for purposes of tran
sportation seems about to be realized. The
imagination is stirred at the possibilities for
the future.
