VIII SuDerCede Eating
Stations

LOS ANGELES, May 19.--Presiden'
( T.. II. Hartman, OF the Southern Pa
citip. has departed from San francisco
on his way to New York, but the eff
/ fects OF his recent visit to Southern
t California and Arizona will be felt for
tsome time TO come AS one of the re-
suits of Mr. Harriman's recent inspec-
ton OF the Southern Pacific property,
the Sunset route will be overhauled
and practically rebuilt almost its en-
tire distance from Los Angeles to New
Orleans.
Orders have been issued for relaying,
with eighty pound steel rails, $40 miles
east of Tucson. and 160 miles east OF
El Paso West of Ell Paso a total of
275 additional miles OF track will be
newly ballasted, and l.723, 900 new ties
will be put In. East of Ell Paso 14l
miles OF road will be reballasted and
a total OF 6s7 900 new ties will be used.
proyements will cost several million
dollars.
In the $50 miles between Los An
eeies and Yuma, about hundred miles
has been rebuilt recently. The rest OF
the distance Is embraced In the work
of oyerhauling, for which orders have
been issued. When the work OF re-
building is completed. the entire Sun
set route will be laid with eighty
pound steel rail In place OF the sixty
two pound rail that has done duty so
many years. The line will then conf
pare with any railroad system In the
United States. Tne rails now on the
ground will be taken up and used in
wherever necessary, Superintendent
Il II ineraia expects official orders
insructing h II, TO begin the proposed
improvements on the Los Angeles
Yuma division in few days.
AS previously announced dining
stations are to be discontinued along
the entire length Of the Southern Pa
cific. The present eating stations will
be used as lunch counters. but all
through trains will be equipped with
dining ears. A large order for the
proposed new coaches has been placed.
Surveyors are engaged reconnoitering
the country east toward Salt Lake City
from Ludlow. There is no longer any
doubt that the proposed new Harri-
man transcontinental line will tap the
Santa Fe main line at some point be-
tween Ludlow and Daggett. Santa Fe
headquarters in Los Angeles Is conyer-
SAINT with the work of the Oregon
Short Line In the territory OF the for

way in which the answers to the Ques-
tons came
No. sir; this Is not Mr.. RoeEs fe.-
lers church: II Is the church of whfr.l
Mr. EOci eft Her chances to be meni-
her. was the way some of the ulcui-
bers put It,
Others believed that the movement
to check the frequent illusions to 'Mr.
Rockefeller's church" had originated
with Mr.. Rockefeller alone. When
the question was put direct to an ofii-
GER of the church last night by re-
porter, he answered:
You know very we'll the church is
not named or known as MIR. Rokefel-
ler's church. Mr.. Rockefeller has
issued no orders about having his name
cut out Mr.. Rockefeller never issues
any orders here. He Ia a member
one of many. John ID. Rockefeller.
Jr., is the leader OF young mems BIZ
BILE class. That's all. The fact that they
are rich has caused all sorts OF things
to be said about their work, which, I
am sure, no one regreats or deplores
more than Mr.. Rockefeller and his son.

church controversy, for there Is no

Their is no organized effort at rescue,
as 1t is almost impossible to approach
the mines. because of the fierce fires.
There is intense excitement. and the

Soon after the explosion a party was
organized and started into the mine, In
hopes of saving the lives of at least q
part of the men. The party, however,
was unable to go more than 500 yards,
on account OF the slate having fallen

Of the sitting smoke and gas and ex-

Of the Mine BIZ the Explosion

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. May 19.-~An
explosion occurred in the Fraterville
and Thistle coal mines, in the Coal
Creek district, this morning. with ap-
palling results.
There were about 900 men at work in
the mines, and so far as known only
one has escaped.
He was blown out Of the mine by the
force Of the explosion and though Sc
riously injured, will probably recover.
Flames are pouring out of the
shafts. tunnels and vent holes, and
there is scarcely a hope entertained
that any one underground in the
mines can survive.
George N. Camp, the superintendent
of the Thistle mine, has made an Off
cial statement in which he estimates
the dead at $50.
This is regarded by we'll Informed
people as under the mark. as it is ad-
mitted that there were about 900 all
