TWO SHIPS BURNED
Illinois Central Railroad is Heaviest
Loser and Companys Officials An.
nounce That It will at Once
Rebuild.

New Orleans, Feb. 27.-With the fire
that destroyed it's immense export ter
minals still burning, though beyond
the power to do further damage, the
Illinois Central Railroad today an
nounced that it would rebuild immedi-
ately on a more elaborate and sub
stantial scale than before.
Conservative estimates figure that
the loss by fire will be $5,O00,00O The
wharves destroyed covered 1850 feet,
over a distance of ten blocks. Of this
wharfage $500 feet and what it con-
tanned, were destroyed, the remainder
at the upper end of the terminals be-
ing saved through the fact that the
wind blew strongly in the opposite di-
rection.
Apparently no lives were lost in the
fire, though there were many narrow
escapes. The fire started in Conveyors
Elevator D. 1t spread with remarkable
rapidity, the sparks dropping into oil
barrels on the wharf and extending
the flames in every direction. Ten
ships were lying at the docks when the
fire started and all except two escaped.
In addition to the railroad property
the fire destroyed the Crescent Ice
Company plant, many small stores and
large number of small residences.

REPRESENTATIVE A
RAILROAD ENGINEER

Bertrum Grant Lynch, who is rep.
resentative in the Assembly from the
county of San Miguel, is young man.
His birth occurred February 9Th, 1875,
at Edwardsville, Wyandotte County
Kansas, where he lived until he was
twenty-four years of age. He received
a good public school education in his
native town, passed through the high
school at Chanute, Kansas Having
a taste for railroading, as soon as he
was old enough he entered the rail
way service as fireman and after due
service became locomotive engineer,
a position which he fills today on the
New Mexico division of the Santa Fe
Railway System.
His father, J. B. Lynch, was a resi-
dent Of Kansas for many years, was
one of the leading Republicans of the
Sunfiower State and served creditably
as warden of the state penitentiary I'M
der Governor Morrell's administration.
Naturally, his son was born and bred
Republican and today is a staunch
and as true a believer in and support
er Of Republican principles as any citi
zen in this country Mr.. Lynch is a
trustworthy and competent locomotive
engineer, who enjoys the respect of
his superiors, and the friendship and
good will of his associates in the rail
way service. AS a citizen he stands
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1905-02-27

very well in his community. He is an
hanorable man, faithful and energetic
in the performance of every duty and
always loyal to the interests confided
to his charge. He was elected to the
Assembly upon the Republican ticket
from his county last November by a
very handsome majority. In the AS
sembly he has done his duty manfully
and honestly, acting upon his convic.
tions and doing in legislation what he
thought was best for the people of the
Territory, and always guided by the
desires and wishes of his constituents
and his own good sense of right, fair
ness and Justice He is chairman of
the important committee on roads and
highways and as such did yeoman work
in procuring the passage of the Win
ters-Lynch Scenic Highway Bill, pro-
viding for a scenic highway between
this city and Las Vegas and north to
the Ration Mountains. He is an influen-
tial member of several important CON-
mitttees and while not an orator makes
himself felt in committee and legis-
lative work by his sound good sense,
knowledge of affairs and ability to do
work. All in all Mr.. Lynch is making
very creditable and energetic repre-
sentative and the people of San Miguel
County did well in electing him to this
honorable position.

ernor of Massachusetts and former
United States Secretary Of the Treas

the founders of the Republican party

perialist League, he became it's presi-
dent, which Office he held at the time
Of his death.

A SCRAP in

Senator Bailey Caring Little for New
Mexico's Statehood Aspiration Of
fers Amendment to Let in
Oklahoma and Indian

Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.-The
conference committee on the amended
Hamilton statehood bill is scrapping
hard, and the members are taking
every advantage possible, to get their
own views adopted in the report. 1t
Is probable that the committee will re-
port tomorrow. Neither the Bever-
dge crowd nor the friends of New
Mexico and Arizona have as yet the
advantage. The Texas Congressional
delegation in the House of Representa-
tives, which to man is friendly to
single statehood for New Mexico, is
very indignant at Senator Bailey for
slapping it in the face by announcing
On Friday that he would vote for the
Hamilton joint statehood bill to give
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory one
state and New Mexico and Arizona one
state. Senator Bailey did worse today
by offering an amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill pending in the Sen
ate for joint statehood for Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory, leaving New
Mexico out in the cold. The "Texas
Steers" are very wrathful at Senator
Bailey. Senator Bailey's move means
that he only cares for Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory and is willing to
let New Mexico go.
Senator Bailey's Amendment.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Bailey today introduced as an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill.
a bill for creating one state of Okla
homa and Indian Territory.

One OF the most noticeable tffects
OF this trust era is the squeezing of
the small business man. Ills prof
are in great measure dictated by Il e
comsine that controls the products
in which he deals. He finds his pro-
fits decreasing and his expenses in
creasing. The cost of the raw material
that the farmer or the miner produces
has not increased greatly on an aver
age but the price of the finished pro-
duct has vastly increased For instance
the price of cattle has decreased but
the price Of beef has steadily increas-
ed 1t does not require an array OF
figures to prove this, the small bust
ness man and the consumers have
the evidence constantly before them
The Republican party, under whom
the combines and trusts have been
created, and protected has not pre-
tended to try to regulate these mat
tiers so that honest competition would
relieve those who are nov distressed.
In fact the great M ajority OF he Re
publican leaders are "stand-patteis
and declare that we have prosperity
and we must let we'll enough alone.

The way the railroad attorneys are
struggling to get their clients clear of
government control of unreasonable
rates and the expedients they are Of
fering to fool the people shows they
are trying to earn their large salaries.
The latest suggestion is to place the
railroads under bond to secure dit
ferences in imposed charges pending
final adjustment. Some of the rail-
road managers are said to be willing
to agree to the plan of placing in es-
crow money which is in dispute as
the result of differences between rates
fixed by the IA roads and those named
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion The bonding proposition would
be disastrous to the small shipper
and expensive to the larger ones. The
shipper would be subject to all the
willful and unnecessary delay that
the railroad attorneys so well know
how to accomplish and after final
judg had been rendered a civil
suit on the b ond would be necessary
with its further veXatious delays.
1t would not be so bad if the dis
puted payment were placed in escrow
the money to be delivered to the ship
per or passenger in the event OF the
commissions rate being upheld by the
Courts. But why evade the plain and
easy way to protect the public, that
when on complaint the commission
has investigated and found the rail
rold charge unreasonable and has de.
cided that it is a reasonable rate that
the rate decided upon by the Commits
sion shall go into effect until it is set
aside by the Courts. That would pro
tect the people and could not iniure
the railroads for the Commission
would have no object in making a
rate that was not ample to pay the
railroads all they would be reasonably
entitled to.

We regret to see the contention and
turmoil between the mayor and some
OF III gentleman of the council. The
matter is most reg retable affair. S
W frequently stated through our l.
unns tie present city council has ex-
hibited spirit of enterprise, that sui =
passes all former councils. but the
present trouble cannot h lip Gripping
in ssme measure the future useful
n IS of the spresent bodv.s That
spirit Of co operation and unity so es-
sential to the accomplishing mt of pub
lie enterprise will hardly be restored
be fore another election GENES on. The
strange part Of this affair, to us. is
that some of the belligerents have per
mitted some of the old republican
gang to pour a tale of disaffection in
to their ears 1t is not our province to
hep bring defeat to the democratic
party and ruin to the city's interests
so we shall not mingle in this melee
but advise the gentlemen to stop and
consider before they make themselves
ridiculous.

The campaign of the Railroads to
prevent government control Of their
unreasonable rates has been careful ly
managed. The ablest attorneys, with
all the means necessary to bring vii
ne ;ses to Washington TO appear be-
fore the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, have conducted the cam
paign with care and calculation. Sen
ator Willard of Nebraska, who is a
Republican membe of the interstate
Commerce Committee and who was,
before his election to the Senate. di-
rector of the Union Pacific railroad
asserted the other day in a newspaper
interview that the evidence secured
had been "adduced in the fairest
manner possible. "
The Nebraska Independent says ct
that:
"Only favored shippers and we'll
known railway camp followers
were given free rides from Ne
braska to TIE national capital to
testify regarding the rate situa-
ton in this state. The small
shippers, who never receive pre-
ierential rates. were lett at home
because they could testify that
there is deep seated demand in
Nebraska for lower rates."
The railroads are doing everything
possible to back up Senator Millard,
the News Bureaus they have estab
lished are sending out matter TO all
the newspapers that will print it, Civ
ing the railroad sside of the conte :
ton. even the patent insides" ale
net overlooked in this effort to BET g
public opinion by trying to make the
voters believe that railroad charges
are reasonable The same program
being carried out in other states and
will be continued as long as the new =
parers will print the stories.
OF course but few people will be il
duced to believe that the railroads are
public benefactors running their trains
primarily for the advantage OF the
public and that if the exorbitant IA eS
charged were reduced that the rail.
roads would be unable to pay interest
on their bonds and that dividends to
their stock holders would be an I'M
possibility. Yet that is what iSenator
Willard and the railroads would have
us believe, the idea being to work on
public opinion and thus give an ex-
cuse FIR Senators and congressman to
vote against the public interest.

The agreement OF the Steel Trust
with the other steel manufacturers
throughout the world upon a scale OF
prices for steel rails and division OF
markets, should make the most ardent
Republican standpatter willing to re-
peal the duty on steel rails. Yet it is
mole than probable that the Repub
lican Congress will not revise the
tariff even that much.
