THE MEXICAN WAY.
Refuse to Allow Mexican Central to
Ship Goods in Bond


1t is said that the cause of the recent
suspension of work on the construction
of the branch of the Mexican Central
railroad from Guadalajara to the port
of Manzanillo, the Pacific coast, IS
that the federal government of Mexico
refuses to grant to the railway COM
pany the privilege of shipping dutiable
goods through that country in bond.
This custom is practiced in the United
States and vast amount of goods from
Europe and the Orient goes into Mexico
by way of New York and San Fran
cisco in bond, the United States gov
eminent waving all claim to duty on
the shipments. The Mexican govern
Mexican Central Railway company this
privilege, but insists that duty shall be
paid on all goods which enter through
the port of Manzanillo or through Ell
Paso, even If they are for through ship
ment.
1t is also said that unless the Mexi-
can government recedes from it's posi-
ton on this question the Mexican Cen
trail Railway company will forego its
plans for building other important ex-
tensions and branch lines in Mexico.
The most important of these proposed
extensions which has been abandoned,
temporarily at least, was to run from
Guadalajara to Aguas Ca1ientes. This
line would give that part of Mexico di-
rect connection with the port of Tam
pico and would have been of great i'm
portance when operated in connection
with the line to Manzanillo.

STEAM PIPE BURST.
Two Men Killed and Two Badly
Injured by Explosion.

Kansas City, Nov. 1.-Two men dead
and two others seriously injured, one
perhaps fatally, is the result of an ex-
ploslon of a steam pipe in the pumping
station of the Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger packing plant in Kansas City
Kan, yesterday morning. The accident
occurred shortly after s o'clock and 1t
was ten minutes before other employees
OF the packing house were able to give
assistance to their unfortunate fellow
workers. The explosion was caused by
a condensation of steam in new pipe
that had been put in place only last
Thursday The men were working near
this pipe.
The pumping station at the Schwarzs-
child & Su1zberger plant lies twenty
feet below the surface and is a short
distance from the engine room. For the
last eight days the company has been
making Improvements in this depart
ment and new pipes have Supp1anted
the old ones. 1t was these improvements
that caused extra work yesterday.
Murphy, Russell, Hoover and Mcmahon
We're the only men in the plant when
the explosion occurred.
The men had been working scarcely
an hour when humping sound was
heard in one of the pipes. The noise
became more constant and louder and
Russell went over to make an inspec-
ton. He had just bent over the pipe,
preparatory to an inspection, when the
pipe from which the noise had come
hot steam covered RuSSelPS body and
the shock sent him reeling to the floor.
The man died almost instantly. His
body was literally scalded from head to
foot
Newton Murphy, who was nearest
Russell was hurled against an outer
wall and his body enveloped in steam.
James Mcmahon and w. b. Hoover suf-
fered similarly although Hoover, by
lying on the floor face downward, saved
himself The explosion was felt all over
the house and men from every depart
ment ran to the scene. At the mouth
of the pumping station an immense vol
ume of steam was pouring out and the
gress. Murphy was lying on the floor
the steam rolled over his body he begged
piteously for help. The others, suffer-
ing most intense pain, shouted for as
sistance, while the men on the outside
stood aghast, fearful of entering the
room, which was filed with steam from
the burst pipe.
The big engines of the s. & S. plant
were shut down with all haste, and the
first man to enter the pumping station
was Frank Wall, who carried Mcmahon
from the building, and later assisted in
removing Hoover and Murphy. The
body of Russell was removed to an I'M
dertaking establishment while the in
jured were taken to st. Margaret's hos
ed Murphy, still alive, was given all
possible assistance, but he died a few
minutes after 1 o'clock. Mcmahon was
alive last night, but the attending sur
geonS have not much hope for his re-
covery. Hoover will live.
