States Steel Corporation, drew in at La
Grande Station, having completed a run
from the Atlantic to the Pacific a distance
Of more than $3.50 miles. in the fastest time
on record.
Mr.. Lowe left New York Tuesday, August
&. at 2:45 p. NJ, and arrived in this city
seventy hours and twenty-one minutes lat
er. or an hour and thirty-nine minutes less
than three days.
The run from Chicago was made over the
lines Of the Santa Fe Railroad. a distance
OF 2.25s miles, The time from Chicago to
Los Angeles was fifty-two hours and fifty
one minutes, an average speed of 1917 miles
an hour. including all stops.

o reaching the bedside OF his u-year-old
daughter, who was lying seriously III in this
city. The child died early Tuesday morn
ing, but Mr.. Lowe was not advised of her
death until well on his way.
AS all arrangements had been made for
pared by the railroads. the trip was con-
faster time.
When the Santa Fe special left Chicago on
Wednesday at 1o:15 a. m, it was intended
that the run to Los Angeles should be made
at speed of thirty-five miles an hour. in
Guiding stops. As the train passed through
Missouri and Kansas it was found that
faster time than the schedule provided for
could be made. Orders were then given to
make as fast time as was consistent with
safety. The special began to gain at once.
At La Junta. Colo, it was more than an
hour ahead of its schedule and when AL
buquerque. n. NJ, was reached. al 5:i5 last
evening. this gain had been increased to
three hours and fifteen minutes. Reaching
San Bernardino nine hours and twenty min
utes ahead of time, the special had clear
track to Los Angeles. sixty-tree miles. The
run over this last stretch of track was
record-breaker, the speed at times being as
fast as seventy-fye miles an hour, and at
1 07 the engine whirled into La Grande sta
ton.
Mr. Lowe was hastily driven to the West
minister Hotel, where he Joined his wife,

Remarks Against Supreme Court
Regarded Incorporate by Some.
REPuRLIc SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
st. Joseph, Mo-. Aug. 1.-The attack
which Attorney George P. Rowe made upon
the State Supreme Court at a meeting
of the Folk Club last night is worrying
the members of that organization. some Of
whom consider Rowes remarks intemper-
ate. He is not a member of the club but
was invited to speak through courtesy. In
the course OF his speech, he said:
1.-THE boodlers have disgraced the State
more than Jesse James. They have made its
name a by-word throughout the nation.
They have betrayed the confidence of the
people of the State. am sorry to say that
in imperial Missouri the best friend that
the hoodlers have had is the Supreme Court.
/ say 1t with shame, but IL had the DOW
err i should wipe out the Supreme Court
and start another.
THE crying need of the day is publication
in all departments of government, State
and national. and 1t is regrettable fact
that the people of this great Commonwealth
are losing confidence in the men they have
intrusted in charge Of high offices. notably
the men who OCCUPY positions on the SUI
preme bench This statement is made in
view OF recent developments and to my
mind it is incontrovertible. l trust that the
time may speedily come when the people o.
this State vii! again have unbounded faith
in the integrity of the Supreme Court and
when their confidence will not be be-
