THROUGH AT JEFFERSON CITY
Boodling Win Not be Further Investi'
gated in Cole County,

JEFFERSON CRY, May S-Jndgc
James Il. Hazel OF the Circuit court of
Cole county has settled all speculation
concerning the calling OF another Cole
county grand jury for the July term OF
the court to futher Investigate legiS-
lative boodling. The judge has de-
cided not to call a grand jury for July.
He SO stated in a letter u the county
court received here late this afternoon
by II. NJ. Smith, presiding Judge, In
the letter Judge Hazel states that he
has abandoned the idea of calling an
other grand jurs at this time. This
decision probably was reached upon
the suggestion from the county court
that the cost OF another grand jury
at this time probably would be too ex-
pcnsive for the country. The cost OF
the last grand jury will be about

ORD-BREA RUN.
Engineer Was offered Fifty Dollars
a Minute for Every Minute Gained
Over III Schedule.

There is a little story connected with
the record-breaking run of the Lowe
special over the Santa Fe, Chicago to
Los Angeles, in less than 80 hours,
which is not generally known.
1t is related that Mr.. Lowe offered
the engineer who hauled the train from
San Bernardino to Los Angeles-on the
home-stretch of 60 Dliles-the sum Of
$50 a minute for every minute gained
over the schedule. Engineer Warboy
turned the wheels at a 50-second clip for
each mile to Pasadena, but had to slow
down in the suburbs Of Los Angeles. He
pulled into La Grande station, Los An
geles, just 81 minutes after leaving San
Bernardino. gaining nine minutes on the
whirlwind schedule and thereby earn
ing $3.50 extra pin money.
The Santa Fe passenger department
will soon publish a pamphlet giving full
details of the swift flight of the Lowe
