wrecks and accidents which now prove so
disastrous. The instrument is styled the

iron box about twelve inches square and
three inches thick contains the instrument.

locomotive to which IL Is attached and its
engineer. The mechanism is such that 1t
records on a tape every blast of the whistle,
together with its exact time and place, the
speed of the train at every moment of
time, the time and place any accident &C.
ours. the speed approaching, the arrival.

the cab and over the boiler. Mr.. Sedgwick,
the inventor, began his career as a tele-
graph operator; later he became a Meth

colleges a teacher OF railway and me-
chanical engineering. He says that, de-
spite its simplicity the machine required
ten of his best years for its perfection.

The Western railways have notified the
big shippers that they propose to conform
to the letter with the provisions of the
Elkins bill. and will withdraw Immediately
all rebates that have been paid and abol-
ish everything that resembles a concession
or discrimination in rates. Central Traffic
lines, while not so implicated in these ir-
regularities as are some of their Western
connections, are preparing to send out SIM
liar notices to shippers, and Ii is generally
conceded that it is the beginning of
period of the most rigid maintenance of
rates that the country has ever seen. The
Elkins bill has passed both houses of Con-
gress, and been signed by President Roose-
welt. 1t removes the penalty for violating
any provision of the bill from the repre-
sentative of the road and places the pen
atty on the company, the same being mon
itory. Railroad men say that this will in
crease the vigilance of railroad officials in
hunting out the offenses of others, and no
irregularity will be condoned because of the
fear Of Furnishing an individual, which was
the case under the old nterstate-commerce
act.

Beaumont Oil Wells Fail.


Dallas, Tex.-The Sen Jacirto Gil
Company, one of the largest concerns
in Dallas, operating in the Beaumo ont
fields, wss placed III the hands of re
ceiyer yesterday On the application of
the Texas Cotton Products Company,
of Texas, which company had con-
tract with the Saa Jaclnto Oil Com
pany for large quantity Of crude OH
Rev. j. B. CranfelI, a we!l-known
Baptist minister and editor Of Dal-
las, president of the com pany, said the
complainant company had contract
with the San Jacinto Company to
purchase crude oil at l0 cents a barrel.
This contract was one Of so, all which
we're made at time when the COM
pany's well gushers and producing
thousands barrels Of oil pei day. Since
that time one OF the San Jacinto Com
pany's wells has failed entirely and the
produe tion from the other two has
practically ceased. 1t was there
fore impossible to fill the contracts, as
there was not enough oil produced by
the wells to meet more than small
per cent. OF what the contracts demand
cd. The differences between what the
contracts called for and the present
price for oil approximatss 81 100000.
There are about 5000 stockholders OF
the ompany scattered over the United
States.
