washington, Dec. 2-The Interstate
Commerce Law association, which IS one
of z. p. Bacon's aliases, has opened head
quarters in Washington. The association
expects to enjoy season OF strenuous
activity, but not along the lines which its
principal member followed last winter.
Tt has developed that Bacon has sur
rendered Internationally to President
Roosevelt; that he has repudiated the
Esch-Townsend bill and is prepared to
accept with gratitude whatever congress
may see fit to give, presuming, Of course.

The change of attitude indicated by
Barry's admission is SO revolutionary as
to suggest the thought that even the
rampant Bacon has fallen under the spell
of the presidents power That Bacon has
eIaced himself from the railway situa-
ton has been obvious for some time.
There are stories to the effect that Bacon
received intin15tions from authorize tive
sources that 1t would be better for him
and everybody concerned if he ceased
that activity which caused so much fric-

ment and it is proposed to allow him
to devote all his energies to this sort
of traffic.
J. W. Kendrick, at present second
vice president of the company, in charge
Of the operation of the road, is to be
moved up a peg in titles and viii be
made the first vice president. Mr.. Mich
olson will be named as second vice
president, and as the gossip around the
Santa Fe offices has It Mr.. German is
to be named as third vice president
and viii have charge of the freight traf-
fic of the road.
Mr.. German has been with the Santa
F'e for about 20 years and is looked
upon as one of the brilliant freight traf-
f1c managers of the country. Some eight
or ten years ago he severed his con-
nectiOn with the Santa Fe to engage
in commercial pursuits, but about seven
years ago he returned. Mr. German had
been general freight agent of the COM
pany with headquarters at Chicago for
a number of years and was promoted to
the position of freight traffic manager
when w. B. Biddle severed S1s connec-
lions with the company to take the
third vice presidency of the Rock Is
land last spring.
In the event of Mr.. Germans eleva-
ton to a vice presidency r. b. Hough-
ton, assistant freight traffic manager,
would probably take his place and this
would leave a vacancy for which J. r.
Koontz, general freight agent of the
road. whose headquarters are here in
Topeka, would be in line for promotion.

FAMOUS BELEN CUTOFF.
Gigantic Railway Project Being Push
ed Rapidly to Completion.

One of the most gigantic railway
projects ever carried out in the west,
or in any part of the country for that
matter, is being pushed rapidly to
completion by the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company in New
Mexico.
Few persons who have not visited the
scene of the building of the Belen
cutoff realize the magnitude of the
work which the great corporation is
doing there for the mere purpose of
saving few hours in the run against
time and competition across the broad
west from Chicago to California.
Ten million dollars has been appro-
priated by the Santa Fe to build this
air line across the territory and before
the work is ended, it will take some
vigorous stretching of that sum to
cover the cost of it.
Ten millions is a good deal of money,
more perhaps than the ordinary per-
son can appreciate, and ten million is
a sum that a railroad will not part
with without a good cause, and the
officials on the Santa Fe think that no
money ever expended by them viii so
surely bring forth fine returns as this
amount, even though it be for only a
comparatively short piece of road. 1t

battalion of steam shovels groan
and creak and puff and regiments of
Missouri mules strain in the harness
before the big Fresno scrapers.
The numerous bridges in the tor
tuous Abo canyon are in themselves
marvels of mechanical construction.
The tall and graceful piers are com
posed of solid concrete so that each
pier forms one solid block when fin
ished. The long steel trusses are pro
jected onto the piers with the incest
mechanical skill and every modern
device of the engineer is brought into
requisition. Once in while a man
is crushed under a heavy girder. or
falls TO his death from the top of a
pier, but it is all in the great game
the railroads are playing and the
work goes on. The contractors, how
ever, 1lave been very fortunate and
there have been few fatalities, com
paratively speaking, during the course
of the work.
1t is thought that the cutoff will be
completed by July of next year.

present line in that part of the coun-
try, and doing away with these grades
means a saving in motive power, but
the most valuable saving to be effected
will be in the matter of time between
Chicago and the Pacific coast
The most modern methods of that
marvellous wizard, the American civil
engineer, are being used in the build
ing of this railway two hundred miles,
almost as the bird flies, across the CEN
trail part of New Mexico from Texico
on the Texas line to Rio Puerco on the
present route of the coast lines of the
Santa Fe system.
Fifteen hundred sturdy laborers.
some skilled and some less skilled, a
small industrial army, are busy as
bees along the line of the cutoff at
present. Six hundred and fifty are al
work on the Belen end of the line, as
many more east of the mountains. and
hundreds more in the rugged fast
nesses of Abo canyon where the rail-
road pierces the Manzano range in a
dizzy whirl around the edges of
Drecipices, across lofty bridges and
through bottomless cuts, through any
thing and everything to get there
first"
Expense is nothing ia the breakneck
race of the big railroads to the coast.
The first hundred miles of the cutoff
from Belen east practically COM
pleted, will likely average in cost fifty
thousand dollars a mile.
The work on the Eastern Railway
of New Mexico the corporate name
of the cutoff has been going on inter-
mittently for the last four years. Had
a force aof men as big as the present
one been working steadily the work
could have been done in two years.
With plenty of men and favorable
weather conditions the cutoff should
be completed in another year.
Fifty miles from Tes1co vest is fin
ished. Fifteen miles from Epris west
is done, and seventeen miles from
Willard west. The work is divided up
among a number Of contractors and
subcontractors each working on his
own individual unit of the survey.

day. Not day passes but what a

AGAINST COMMISSIONS BILL.
Robert NIather Says Proposed Rail-
road REGULATION Is Unconstitutional.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 2.-Robert
Mather, who is president of the hold
ing corporation that controls the va
rious properties of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railway company, in
a carefully prepared statement has at
tackled the constitutionality of the
railroad regulation bill that has been
presented to the senate committee by
the interstate commerce commission
Mr.. Mather says the bill represents the
demand of the commission for in
creased power, and is the extreme to
which congress might be asked to go.
He insists that the bill cannot rep
resent the administration, for it is con-
demned as unconstitutional by the
published opinion of Attorney General
Moody and does injustice to the rail-
roads so hagrantly that it cannot be
part Of the programme of square
DEAF president
Mr.. Mather says the bill unites in
the commission the judicial function
of determining a rate, the legislative
function of esta blishing a rate, and a
long list OF executive functions. Ihere-
fore as no branch of the government
can exercise more than one of these
functions. it is unconstitutional. But
more than this he finds the bill uncon-
stitutionaI because it limits the courts
in the exercise of their functions.
1.-The courts are forbidden to re-
strain enforcement of an order OF the
commission czSng rates for longer
than sixty days. unless it plainly ap-
pears that the order is unlawful ," said
Mr.. Mather. Courts of equity have
always exercised the inherent power
to restrain an act upon good cause
shown in the preliminary stages of lit
igation and the suficiency of the cause
is addressed to the courts discretion.
This power the bill takes away and
proposes to permit a restraining order
only upon such showing as viii JUS
fffx- decree 11non final hearing
Further Mr.. Mather protests that
the bill so far limits the power Of the
courts to inquire into the proceedings
before the commission, upon which
the commissions ORDERS were based,
that it practically deprives the carrier
of the substantial right of review by
the court wherefore he again charges
unconstitutionality.

within short time it is expected

ditions are not ordinary. When Mr..

for months to move export grain by the

is stated thai the grain merchants doing
business through the gulf ports have
contracted nearly 100000 bushels Of
grain for delivery in Europe in January
at a rate which the gulf lines had
agreed to cancel on January I.
