injured and many passengers severely
haken up tonight in a head-on collision
between a construction gravel train and the
st. Louis express train on the Chicago &

man to carry out instructions caused the
accident. But for the fact that the express
train was headed by two locomotives.

crowded coaches would have been COM

The modern tendency to dispersion OF
ownership with concentration OF control
is well illustrated by the creation OF a
stock company to take over and operate
the Kearney property in Fresno county.
Under such a plan the number OF owners
may be and is, in fact. likely TO be so
great that the share of each Is only a
moderate-sized farm. while the aggregate
investment is so large as TO interest and
justify the employment OF the first-rate
ability which is essential TO the successful
conduct of modern business. IL is not 30
good for the State that landed property
should be managed in this way, as
that each owner should occupy an
independent farm of moderate size upon
which TO rear a family, but with
able management II may be better

for the management Of this property is
