In the number and character of the orders
placed for motive power by the various

motive works attributes this not TO the fact
that the needs of the various railroads had

owing to the recent steady decline In the
price of materials entering into locomotive
construction, railroad managers are with
holding their orders until prices have be-
come more settled and in the expectation
of securing engines at lower figures.

Sullivan May Go Free.

So far Prosecutor Pugh has failed to find
any of the prosecuting witnesses that were
before the grand jury when John e. Sulli-
van, the absconding county clerk, was in
dicted. Samuel Hanway. one of the losers.
and on whose evidence Sullivan was indict-
ed on a charge of embezzling $4,000, is dead.
Edward Tyler, another important witness,
cannot be found, and others are missing or
dead. There remains but one case in
which prosecution may be effected, and
that is the one in which he is indicted for
conspiracy to commit fraud. In this case
Tom O'Neal was also indicted, but the in
dictment against him was nollied.
Sullivan's trial is set for an early date,
and unless more evidence is gathered the
cases will have to be dismissed, and there
Is no chance to secure additional indict-
ments. as the statutes of limitation will
prevent further action.

OFFICIALS DO NOT TALK
NUMEROUS MEETINGS, But LITTLE
INFORMATION LEAKS OFT.
Trunk Line Executive Committee to
Meet To-Morrow-Western Roads
to Cut on More Commissions.

Seldom have so many important meetings
of traffic officials been held as within the
past ten days. but little accurate Informal
ton as TO the proceedings has leaked out.
Railway men usually well informed appear
to know nothing about the plans under
consideration. There appears TO be a
growing belief in interested circles that the
outgrowth Of the efforts now being made
to secure stability of freight rates may end
in money pool on all competitive freight
business. IL is stated this was the object
OF the appointment of the four committees
by the presidents at their recent New York
meeting. The presidents will meet in Chi
cago to-day, when the four committees are
expected TO report, and IL these are able to
reach agreements regarding the business
in their respective territories IL ought not
TO be difficult to make the understanding
general The fact that members Of the In
terstate-commerce Commission conferred
with the presidents during their New York
meeting would seem to indicate they
fully informed Of the plan, whatever II
may be. by which the executives aim to
secure the restoration and maintenance of
rates. and it is probable that whatever ac-
ton. No word has been received from
New York indicating any action by the
presidents on the excess fare question. and
the current belief is that they will shift
the issue and fail to take any decisive
steps. There is story that the presidents
will pass over the excess fare matter al
together. IL this should be done the cur
rent belief is that rate war will ensue
OF such magnitude as has not been seen Of
late. and IL Is said that with II will fall the
joint passenger agreement, which was en-
tered into the first OF the year. The differ
entail lines are about ready TO break away
and fight for what they consider their
rights. and the end will probably not be
as peaceable as some might desire. Rail-
road men are watching the coming storm
with great deal of interest. for the rea-
son that they wish to know just how far
the power of the controlling forces extends
over these differential roads, which are
supposed now to be owned by other roads.
The question which they are asking is
whether the control which the big fnan-
ciers enjoy over both standard and differ
entail roads Is strong enough 20 warrant
them in believing they can control them
down TO the last degree.
