THE ROAD FROM DEMIN6
lis Principal Promoter Says 1t Will
Be Built In a Short Time

A. o. Bailey came in on the Santa
Fe this morning from New York. He
has been there in .the interest of the
proposed road from Deming to the
Pacific Coast. Mr.. Bailey refused al.
most absolutely to talk concerning the
project which is of such vital Interest
to lei Paso. What he did say was
this;
built, and shortly it is to 60 from
Deming to the Pacific Coast, and will
reach the coast alta point 200 miles be-
low Guaypas, the present terminus of
the Sonora branch of theSouthern:Paci-
fic. AS tn the personnel of the company,
I can only say for the present that I am
the company"
1t was suggested that the advantage
of road to the coat would be doubled
by having the shortest possible line to
the coost from any given points,
point on the Southern Pacific in parti-
oular, thus affording perhaps q longer
haul from the Philippines and the ORR
ent. but affording also q shorter land.
haul, 1.-The thing most to be desired.
To this Mr.. Bailey replied that his
rosd would count as one of its objects
and the main one too, the development
OF the country through which it pas
sed.
This proposed read is Of vital i'm
portsnce to Ell Paso, which hopes to
have road of her own to the coast in

Out OF d Large Sum OF Mexican

Bernardo Muro, q Mexican, makes
the sworn statement that he was yes

Mexican money, by several men.
Muro il 80 years of age, q single

claimed to be an old acquaintance.
Baca made himself agreeable, and
then, so Muro says, introduced him to
man who, he claimed, was his broth
er, and who, says Muro, wore the po-
lice uniform.
These two men took him, Muro con-
tinues, to a saloon on Utah street, IN
the rear room of which an American
and Chinaman were play ing q game
called "poker." His statement goes
on to tell again the same old bunco
story. The fall of the curtain saw him
worth $500 Mexican and s. American
money less than he started with.
So far Mr.. Muro.
The chief of police fully investigated
the story told by Muro this morning

PROHIBIT THEM
TIE Legislature May Absolutely
Forbid the Use OF Double Head

FOrbf0 the use VI OOuDiS heou
ers.
.sAt the coming session of the legts-
Iature," said a local railroad man who
ia well posted this morning, the
various orders of trainmen and engine
men will try to have passed bill pro-
hibiting double headers.
ut has been the supposition that
measure would have to be Introduced
that would indirectly compel the rail
wsys to abandon double headers, but
| think that law can and will be
passed, which will directly forbid
sheir use, on the ground that they are
hazardous to trainmen.
1.-The objection of the railroad men
lies in the fact that they compel great
er work, with no increased pay, and
with added time and additional risk.
The conductors and brakemen have al
most twice IS many draw heads to
watch and twice as much responsible.

''As for the engineers, the man on
the second engine can not see ahead,
IN rounding curves especially, and II
in obstruction should appear, or 1t
should be necessary for any reason to
stop uddenly, the man in the second
cab knows nothing of it until
the first engineer gives the signal, and
several seconds ofprecious time are lost
before the second man begins to slow
down.
81 hen the train is so long and its
Roadway is so great that quick stop
is impossible. These conditions add so
much risk to the engineers responsible
iity that think on the ground of the
hazard incurred, double headers can
be abolished, The legislature of Texas
passed law prohibiting them from
pushing box cars in front of an engine,
didn't it? And it has passed laws that
The legislatures of other states thought
it impossible to pass. Well, just watch

CHANGED WITH THEFT OF SITS.
W tlliam Lang Believed 10 Have Taken
 That Amount from Carl Adams.

William Lang, young man who halls from New Britain and who has been working for some time for William Adams, proprietor of the lunch wagon known as the Kennel Club on Chapel street, opposite the Art school. a place much patronized by Yale students, is wanted here for the theft of $175 from Carl Adams, son of the proprietor of the lunch wagon. It seems that Lang and young Adams, who were close friends. were playing pool in Church street billiard room yesterday afternoon until about 3 o'clock, when Lang left the place. From there he went to the Adams home on Temple street. Mrs. Adams, mother of Carl, saw him come in but thought nothing of it as he fre- quently came to the house. Lang went upstairs to Carl Adams room and af- ter staying there short time he came down stairs and left the house.
 Not long after that Carl Adams went home and his mother told him that Lang had been there. Carl went up- stairs to his room and saw that his bureau drawers were open He began to investigate and found that $175 in money which he had slowed away there was gone He at once notified the To- cal detectives and ascertained that Lang had purchased at Union depot a ticket for New York just before the 5:1O train left for that city. Adams telegraphed to the New York police to look out for Lang. He received reply stating that the train had already ar rived in New York and that the pas eengers had dispersed, but that a sharp lookout would be kept for Lang, the latter's description having been tele- graphed to New York. Tho $175 was money the young MT. Adams had been saving to pay the expenses of trip to- the Paris exposition and he feels the loss keenly. It is probable that local detective will be sent to New York to- day to look for Lang.

THE OTTAWA AND HULL FIRE
MAGNITUDE OF THE CALAMITY
 JUST BEING REAEIZED.
Loss Places 1t Between S15, ,O00 1000 and $17,OO0,O 0,OOO.-SOme of the Insurance COmpanies' immediate Steps to Roiiev the DIttrcsscd.

Ottawa, Ont, April 27.-The stricken inhabitants of Ottawa and the now al
 most extinct city of Hull are slowly coming to realizing sense tonight of
 the magnitude of their calamity and
 the horrors through which they have passed. While they are recounting with each other the experiences of the past two days and are struggling with the great task of formulating their financial loss, the mother country sends her con- dolences and the cities of the province and the dominion join with those of the United States in expressions of sor- row and an expressed desire to aid the suffering and afflicted. It is now estab- lished that the loss of life will not ex- ceed seven. The closest that it is poSsi- ble to estimate the loss tonight Is to place it between fifteen and seventeen million dollars. Three thousand people are still homeless. The amount of lum- Der burned Is closely estimated at two hundred million feet
 The following are some estimates of their losses by the various insurance companies: Agent w. G. Black, Guar dian Insurance Co.,, $2O0,00O London iIoui dHCc So., 9oV,VoU, IhOydl lllSul eilCe Co.,, $200,000. Total $$46O,O00. Agent R. Stewart: Atlas Insurance Co.,, Ma tional of Ireland, Waterloo Mutual, Sun Fire Insurance office Roughly speaking these companies will lose over $250, ,000. Their risks are on all classes of property.
 Agents Penneck & Mason Hartford, Aetna, Scottish Union, and National These companies will lose over $200,000 Their risks were principally on the property of the Export Lumber Co.,, and the Mackay property. Agent c. A. Douglas: Queen Fire Insurance Co.,, London and Lancashire The losses of these companies will amount to over $200,000
 Agents John Culbert & Sons: Phoe- nix of Hartford Phoenix of Brooklyn, Norwich Union, British American, Lancashire; about quarter of a mil lion. On the property of the Export Lumber company this agency has alone over $100,00O. Agents Deware and Bethune: Manchester, Law Union and Crown, American, Connecticut These losses will amount to- over $200,000 As yet the companies do not know def1- nitely their own losses. Officials of the different companies are on their way to the capital from Toronto and Mon treal. The various companies assure the people that they will get their money as soon as possible.
