Saturday's Topeka Capital contained the following: "It was reported in railroad circles yesterday that the freight division terminals of the Santa Fe at Newton will be moved to Hutchinson next spring. The reasons given for this are that it is necessary to have a division point midway between Emporia and Podge City, and that there Is not a sufficient supply of water at Newton.
