GATES GETS ROAD
SAID TO HAVE PURCHASED THE
IOWA & MISSOURI.

New York, Jan. 29-It is reported
here that John W. Gates has bought
the Iowa & Missouri railroad. 1t is
considered the controlling link in the
Iowa & st. Louis line, the last of which
is now being built from Macon, Mo-, to
st. Louis. John Lambert and John
Mitchell are reported to be associated
with him in the purchase. They have
been made directors of the road.
The Iowa & Missouri railroad,
which it is stated has been purchased
by John w. Gates, is the new road
that has recently been completed
south from Centerville to Macon, Mo.
Two or three weeks ago, it will be
remembered, Mr.. Gates, together with
John A. Drake and other eastern cap
italists, were in Centerville, supposed
ly in connection with railroad mat
ters. At that time the party took a
trip over the Abba & Centerville line,
one of the connecting links in the
Iowa & st Louis road. 1t is probable
that the deal mentioned in the New
York Dispatch was under considera-
ton at that time. Inquiry to Center
Vile today failed to disclose any
knowledge there of the transfer of the
Iowa & Missouri road to Mr.. Gates.

Heated Debate.
In the senate resolution, offered
by Rawlins, calling upon the secreta-
ry of war for information regarding
certain trials by court martial in the
Philippines, brought forth a heated
discussion.
RaWins Talks of Foul Crime.
Mr.. Rawlins urged that the resolu-
ton be adopted, because neighbors
and relatives of the persons concern
ed had demanded the facts. In re-
ferring to the death of Father Angus
tin he said: I'VE have reason to in
fer that a foul crime has been COM
mitted and that the criminal is within
our borders and under the present
condition of the law cannot be reach
ed"
Mr. Beveridge said he had hoped an
end had been reached of the policy of
insinuation about American soldiers.
Replying Mr.. Rawlins said he had
not specifically charged any person
with having committed cold blooded
murder, but his statement was based
on affidavits on file in the war depart
ment.
ut is the old charge" said he, "that
we have called attention to tortures
and thereby have been arraigning the
American army. 1t is false and in,
famous charge, and l will cram it
down the teeth of the men who have
falsely given it utterance. brand
the statement as infamous, If not
cowardly. 1t is simply an attempt tC
put me in false position, which
will not occupy"
Beveridge Defends Army.
''If that is the best explanation the
senator can give" remarked Mr.. Bev
eridge, "for his remarkable language
here l think the best friend the sena
tor mas would advise him to accept
the alternative of silence" He ther
entered upon a defense of the army
and said that Mr.. Rawlins had giver
| the best argument why the resolu
| ton should not be adopted.
