IMPORTANT TO RAILROAD MEN
Double Header Abolition Bill Re-
ported On EayorabIy.

AT q meeting of senate judiciary
committee in Austin, it was decided TO
report favorably the bill OF Senator
Lewis, looking to the aoolishment OF
the double header" practice now IN
operation on some of the railroads In
the state. Senator Dibre II, mem Der
of the committee, gave notice that ne
would send in a minority report.
General Manager Van Week, OF the
Southern Pacific railway, appeared De-
fore the committee today and spoke al
length against the passage OF the meas
ure and showed that the prac6lce was
in opera lion on a mum Der OF ROADS ID
other states.
Judge Wharton Terry, genera attor-
ney of the Santa Fee, spoke against the
bill, and 10 support of his argument
submitted documents TO she effect that
the practice was not dangerous, aud
that the do BILE header system was IN
use on the railroads of other states.
T.. Adams, of San Antonio, repre-
senuiug organized labor, gave ms
views on the bill to the committee and
stated that the practice should be aool-
ished as it was very dangerous. He
gave his views from y practical stand
point, and stated that the other gentle-
men who had preceded him were talk
ing from theore tical point of view.
At the meeting ofthe committee held
last evening Attorney John Lovejoy, OF
Galveston, appeared in behalf OF the
railway employees. He read petition
to the legislature citing that the
double-heading practice is only In
operation on the Santa Fe aud South
ern Pacific. The petition sets in de-
tail the dangers attendant upon this
practice. Accidents have increased
% per cent on the roads which operate
the system.
Judge Terry replied to the argument
by stating that the records showed just
the reverse to be the case.
L. J. Polk, general manager OF the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway
company, stated that the double-head-
err system was introduced on his line
to save the cost of operation. which
amounts to a saving of about $4,000 per
month Other evidence of this kind
was taken by tbs committee.
The bill provides for the abolish
NJ ens of the practice and imposes fine
OF not less than $500 nor more than
5000 for running more than one work
ing locom olive on a working train.

Why Corn Went BY Wagon.

Ten wagons were loaded with 1000
pounds of corn each by Seay, Gill 81

N. M. This grain was hauled right to
the terminus of the Ell Paso & North
eastern road.
THAT corn was probably raised
right around Roswell" said @. B. Eddy

up to Gray by wagon cheaper than it

the company which built the railway
from Ell PasO to the CAPTAIN coal fields
in New Mexico owns 1000 acres of coal
lands, it can be seen what a good thing
has been secured. While Denver de-
mands that the new enterprise shall
sell coal at 81. so per ton or no franchise

city, the New Mexico railway has con-
tracted to sell it's entire output to the
