CLARK WON'T PLAY.
Calls Off the Trackage Deal Which
He Mada With Santa Fe.

Albuquerque. N. NJ, Dec. 12-Some
time ago Clark effected an agreement
with the Santa Fe, whereby the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake secur-
ed temporary trackage concessions over
Ripley's road to close the gap between
Daggett and Caliente in Nevada. 1t
was the intention to delay building
that section of the road for year or
two. Subsequently, however, the Mon
tana senator determined to operate his
trains over his own road and ask ia
vors of no one. Surveys were hurri-
edly completed between the two points
and a force of construction men was
put to work.
At present there are 700 men working
on the line between Daggett and
Caliete and tracklaying has commenc-
ed. Eighty-pound steel rails are being
placed.

Chicago. Ill. Dec. 12.-The Central
Passenger association lines renovated
their soiled linen yesterday. according
to one of the general passenger agents
With one or two exceptions, all the
roads were accused of secretly cutting
rates, paying commissions. giving
transportation to influence traffic. or
otherwise violating their agreements.
Positive proof of wrong-doing was
presented against some of the roads,
while others found loophole to crawl
out Of Some warm words were ex-
changed, but finally it was agreed that
it would be unwise to spread upon the
records of the associa ton ANYTHING
that might form basis for an inves-
tigation by the interstate commerce
commission. or indictment in the fed
eraI courts.
Each road pledged itself strictly to
maintain its tariff rates in future, and
do nothing in violation of the interstate
commerce law or the articles of agree
ment of the association. The roads
which were caught selling tickets at
less than tariff were forced to redeem
them at normal rates, regardless of the
amount actually paid by the detectives
who got them.

There was nothing remarkable in the character of the early weather news to- day.

 Business was on a small scale and neither side was apparently anxious to go on. A few new bales were turning up here and there. but it Is understood that no new cotton of consequence will ap- pear before the close of the month.
 Meanwhile the pool are believed to be quietly selling. for no matter how small the crop will eventually turn out the movement next month cannot fall to more than meet current requirements.
