RAILWAY GOSSIP.
The New Transcontinental Association
Fills Long Felt Want.
The Rate Question Was in a Demoralized
Condition - Oregon Short Line
Election Today-Notes.

The organization of the new Transcon-
tinental Passenger association is hailed
with pleasure by the western roads.
Since the old organization went to the
wall on December 81, the only possibility
of avoiding wars has been an association
where questions of common interest
could be decided. Since the collapse Of
the old organization the transcontinental
rate situation has been going from bad
to worse and there are now noSrates in the
territory of the transcontinental lines
which are absolutely maintained and cut
rates have even been obtained
over the railroad company's own
counters. The Union Pacific is
fiocking in class by itself, there being
mutual boycott between it and the At
Gibson, Burlington, Rock Island. Denver
& Rio Grande. Midland and Western.
The Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
are said to be at swords points
over rates to Puget Sound points, and
smaller quarrels are complicating affairs
more and more. The new Transconti-
mental Passenger association ought to
become very strong because of all this.

been in the woman's company but denied
the robbery, and claimed to be victim Of
a new conspiracy. While Dunnivant was
in the penitentiary before, Potter S
daughter contracted three marriages. the
first with julius Clarke Daniels.
Immediately after the ceremony the
parties returned to their respective homes,
and in the interim Potter's daughter con-
tracted a marriage with Flee Rust, son OF
a wealthy lumber merchant of Eau Claire,
Wis. Rust's father began proceedings to
set aside the marriage on the ground that
his son was a minor at the time OF the
ceremony. The decree was duly granted,
and then in order that there might be no
doubt as to the legality of Miss Potterls
union with Daniels, it was decided to have
another ceremony performed, which was
duly done.

THE M'WHlRTER MURDER.
Interest in the Fresno Tragedy Revived
BY an Arrest.

Interest in the Fresno Tragedy Revived
BY an Arrest.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Richard
Heath, son of the late General Heath,
has been arrested for the murder of Louis
McWhirter in Fresno, last August.
Fred W. Policy is in Jail in Fresno for
vagrancy, charged with the same crime.
McWhirter took a prominent part in
Fresno politics and made many enemies.
His life was threatened and he took out
$50, 900 life insurance. On the the night
OF August %, McWhirter, aroused by a
noise in the back yard of his home, went
partially dressed, revolver in hand, to
investigate. A succession of pistol shots
followed, and McWhirter was found in
the yard with bullet in his heart. Two
heavy clubs indicated that there were two
assassins. The insurance companies be-
lieved he committed suicide, and refused
to pay the policies. The tragedy created
a sensation throughout the state.
When taken into custody Heath in
timated that he expected it, but declared
he could prove an abb; that ne went to
bed in the Grand Central hotel at Fresno
at IL o'clock on the night of the murder,
and was asleep at the time it occurred.
He declares he was McWhirter's friend,
and advances the theory that McWhirter
was killed by mistake. During the cam
paign McWhirter brought Joseph e.
Baker, a well known newspaper writer,
to Fresno to conduct a newspaper in the
interest of the New hirter faction of the
Democratic party. Baker by his writ
ings incurred Heath's enmity, and Heath
went around with revolver to kill him.
McWhirter and family went to the noun
tains, leaving Baker in his house, and re-
turning a few days before the murder.
The theory is that Heath, not knowing of
the return, went to McWhirter's house to
kill Baker, but instead killed McWhirter
Crittenden Thornton, Mrs. McWhir-
ter's attorney, said he was not surprised
at the arrest of Heath and Polly. He
said: These men are but catspaws of
Others more powerful, and l expect to see
political and financial regulations in this

by delegation representing home

strip strongly urging that the strip be
opened to settlement at the earliest posi-
BILE moment and stating that there was
great restitution among these people.
The secretary replied that it was impos-
sible at this time to say when the strip
would be opened because certain pre-

for opening the strip must first be com.
piled with; that the president appreciated
the situation and sympathized with the

until executive action in opening the
