Favoritism in Railroad Rates Presses Oil Trade
A Missouri issue complains that railroads charge 17 cents per 100 oil units from Kansas City to St. Louis but 22 cents to return, hindering Independent dealers in St. Louis from competing with Standard Oil. The scene includes H. A. Rogers dodging an AG’s question, prompting a humorous take on the system.

Santa Fe Railroad Plans New Depots From Belen to Texico
James Kurn, superintendent of the Rio Grande division, and his wife arrived in a private car to oversee rail work. By March trains may run on the Santa Fe cut off from Belen to Texico, with traffic reaching bridge No. 4 in Abo canyon and three more bridges to be built. Grading is finished from Belen to Willard, delayed by steel shortages after mine closures. Brown estimates construction costs for frame, stone and cement depots between Belen and Mexico, with 12 to 18 depots planned, mainly 4x10 feet, uniform in size, and larger stations at Belen Willard and Texico.

New York Court Upholds Signatures on Tickets in Forgery Case
New York Supreme Court ruled that a purchaser may sign another man’s name on a railroad ticket sold to them. Justice Leventritt held that the act of signing the ticket transfers the purchaser’s right to endorse to the seller’s name. Archibald C. Newburn was accused of forging George E. Whitcomb’s name on a round trip ticket to Indianapolis. The decision establishes a precedent for ticket exchanges on the New York Central Big Four and Lake Shore railroads.

Judge Pope Denies Injunction in Hondo Project Case
Judge William H. Pope of the Fifth Judicial district refused to grant the injunction to restrain the U S Reclamation Service from using machinery and materials bought by the Taylor Moore Construction Co for the Rio Hondo project. The decision kept the case open for full merits review after hearings. The Roswell creditors seek claims totaling 16 000 and 5 000, arguing the government should settle their demands. The Rio Hondo project aims to reclaim thousands of acres near Roswell, with completion expected this year barring delays, and water to reach farmers before summer.
