SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Jan. 30.-The charge

Independent grain dealers out Of business.

RAILROADS STOP COMPETING
Santa Fe and Rock Island Pool Their
Business in the south

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 30.-General Man
aser Nudge of the Santa Fe today said of
the Santa Fe-Rock Island alliance:
The Santa Fe will build from Dodge City
main line with the Rock Island From
Liberal to some point in New Mexico,
where the new Santa Fe cutoff crosses
the Rock Island, a distance OF $50 miles,
the Santa Fe will use the Rock Island
tracks From this point the Rock Island
will use the Santa Fe tracks to the Pa
cttiC coast. This will probably blot out
the plans of both roads for bIilding here
tofore proposed New Mexico opposition
lines.
The plan Cor rebuilding the Santa Fe's
Pccos valley lines and the Panhadle divi-
sion will come to ndught, for the through
traffic Of the Santa Fe will not be sent
south through Wichita, Wellington and
Alva, but Will go west from Newton to
Hutchinson, K!1sley and Dodge City, thence
south on the proposed new line to Liberal
When asked whether the Rock Island
had secured any voice in Santa Fe affairs
by purchasing OF stock, Mr. Nudge said:
THAT is something which l know moth
ing at all abou,."
The Santa Fe and Rock Island have for
some time been on the verge OF a serious
conflict, and the contamination of the traf-
fc has been brought about, it is believed
by the fear that such a conflict might re-
suit disastrously' to both roads.

TWO cORoNERS PROBE WRECK
Rival Tucson OmciRls Claim Right
to Hold Inquest and Accord
inEly summon Juries.

TUCSON. Ariz., Jan. 30.--Condict OF au-
thor ty between the twO justices Of the
peace OF Tucson is retarding the investi-
cation into the train wreck at Walls. I'm
der the laws OF Arizona, justices Of the
peace act as coroners. Tucson has two
Justices, and therefore two coroners. and
both claim the right to investigate the
wreck. Two juries we're summoned. The
evidence of Parker, conductor of the west
bound train was taken before Ritchey's
jury, although Culvers deputy was FIRST on
the scene.
Superintendent Seroufe of the Tuscon di-
vision testified before both juries. His
evidence placed the responsibility for the
nondelivery OF orders to No. :, the west
bound passenger train. upon Operator
Clough at Walls station.
Brakeman Lees OF No. said Immediately
after the collision he was ordered to Walls
station, four miles east to notify the
Tucson office Of the wreck.
when he arrived at Walls he found op-
orator Clough standing in the door o. his
office. Clough said rs anyone killed ?.
evidently knowing a wreck had occurred.
Lees answered that a number had been
killed. Clough is reported to have said IL
don't care much about the cars being de-
stroyed, but l am sorry ! killed any pas
sengers."
Clough added that Parker, conductor of
No. Z, did not take all his orders, and that
was the cause of the wreck. He appeared
to be much excited and exceedingly ne-v-
Gus.
Agent Mann of Walls station said Clough
called him a few minutes after No. had
pulled out OF Walls, and said Parker, the
conductor, did not take all his orders. "He
left this one" said he, pointing to one lay
ing on the counter, and which was the or
der to pass No. at Esmond siding.
Both juries have taken the testimony OF
all the witnesses, except Clough, who can
not be located, and Fireman Gilbert of No.
g. whose condition will not permit Of his
appearing or testifying.
The sensation of today is the disappear
ance of Operator Clough who, it has been
alleged, was responsible for the disaster.
1t was stated last night that Clough would
appear this morning and tell his part in
the affair; but, Notwithstanding the fact
that officers of both .uries have been
searching throughout the city, Clough has
not been found
The railroad oficialG profess ignorance
as to his Whereabouts, but a report from
Benson Is current that he was seen yester-
day on an International train, presumably
bound for Sonora, Mexico.
