Washington, April 1.-The
charges made by leading Western
senators and members of the
House to the effect that the trans
continental railroads we're behind
the movement to secure the repeal
of the desert timber and stone
laws in order to enhance the val
lie of their railroad grant lands
was confirmed this morning by
the agent of the railroads.
In a statement before the irri-
cation committee of the HOUSE,
Maxwell. the agent of the compa-
MES admitted that the railroads
We're back of the movement and
were contributing $4,000 annual
ly to this propaganda. This in
formation was obtained from Max
well in answer to questions from
Congressman Mondell and French.
This admission practically kills
the scheme, AS members of Con
gress do not propose to enact laws
that will shut off emigration to
the Western states and parNlyze
business for the sole benefit of the
railroad companies.

Of the number Of fatal accidents to
trains bearing the unlucky number 13,
prders have been issued on the noun

change the number. After a few
joking words over the wires with the
dispatcher Conductor Brown took the
order and in delivering a copy Of it

the number and then look out"
It was the last order Brown re-
ceived, 1t being q meet order" on

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.-After hav-
ing made a successful flight yesterday
in Baldwin's California Arrow" the
airship which was so successful at
St. Louis, A. r. Knabenshue made an
ascent to-day which almost cost him
his life and which for time threatened
the loss of his airship. His life was
saved by a number of ranchers on
Lucky Baldwin's ranch, twenty miles
east of the city. just before the ship
was dashed violently against the noun
tains of the San Gabriel range.
a stiff gale of wind was blowing this
afternoon when Knabenshue started
his flight at the Chutes. Soon after he
had reached an elevation Of about 500
feet his motor went wrong and he was
at the mercy of the gale. The wind
carried him northeast to the foothills
beyond the city and there he made
landing. Fixing his motor he started
back, travelling at good speed in the
very teeth of the gale. His approach
was seen by hundreds of persons and
for time it looked as IL he would land

point preparing to descend. his motor
again failed and he was driven before

MARKHAM
SUCCESSOR

to the Southern
Pacific,
Special Dispatch to The Call.


OMAHA, Dec. 26.-While no official
announcement has yet been made, it
was stated positively at Union Pacific
headquarters to-day that E. E. Calvin,
the silent man." as he is known
throughout the Hartman system.
would be Charles H. Markham's sue
cessor as general manager of the
Southern Pacific.
The resignation of H. w. Henderson,
superintendent of the San Pedro-Salt
Lake Railroad, is of especial signifi-
canoe in this connection. When Calvin
was general superintendent of the Ore
gon Short Line, Henderson was his as
sistant. There was a warm friendship
between the two men and it was ex-
pected that Henderson would follow
Calvin es he moved upward. His ap-
pointment with the San Pedro separat-
ed them for time, but il is now we'll
understood by those on the inside that
he has resigned to go with Calvin to
the Southern Pacific.
A Union Pacific official said to-day
that when w. H. Bancroft went to San
Francisco to relieve Markham he was
given authority to name Markham S
successor. and he at once offered the
position to Calvin. who had been his
right-hand man for years. Calvin is
said to have accepted the position some
time ago.
Henderson will sever his Connection
with San Pedro on December 81, and
will be succeeded by H. e. Van Hous-
