The Denver's Side OF It.--Alongl
with the flood OF blame which pours
out against the Denver on account OF
its wreck habit, there are a few bits
of commentator for the road from
those who know the circumstances.
The Denver is the heaviest loser by
these wrecks and is probably the
most eager Of concerned to improve
the roadbed so as to obviate them.
The two indispensable necessities In
making the proposed improvements
are labor and material. The great
amount OF railroad building and the
demand for men in other quarters
makes Il extremely difficult for labor
to be secured for this work. In like
manner the demand for railroad ma
terlal ia at present in excess % supply
and roads which have made no prior

the factories for job lots of material.

vestigatiOn Not Likely to be Conn
pleted at This Session.
Boston, May 10.-The determination
of District Attorney John B. Moran to
have all of the $50 members of the
Massachusetts legislature appear before
the Suffolk county grand jury in con-
nection with an Investigation of alleged
bribery at the state house resulted, aft
er considerable delay, in the examina-
tion of seven members of the house of
representatives late to-day.
Earlier in the day several of the sew
enty-five members Of the house on
whom summonses were served yester-
day reported at the state house. A de-
lay in the grand jury proceedings and
the interruption Of executive sessions
at one time Threatened to cause a seri-
GUS clash Of jurisdiction between the
house Of representatives and the grand
jury. The difficulty was disposed of by
an agreement between Speaker Cole
and Mr.. Moran to have the members
go to the courthouse ten at time.
The first ten were called to the court
house in the middle Of the afternoon,
but it was 4:15 O'clock before Repre-
sentative G. D. Cushing, of Boston,
was summoned to the grand jury cham
Der as the first witness.
Following in order, Representatives
Durham, Of Nantucket; Burr, Of Bos-
tom Dean, of Taunton; Bayard, of
Maiden Birch, OF Milford, and Evans,
of Everett, were closeted with the jur-
ors for a few moments each. 1t was
the wish Of the district attorney to pro-
long the session into the evening, but
adjournment was taken at 5:35.
Tomorrow is the last day of this
months session Of the grand jury, and
as there remain 273 legislators to ap-
pear before that body, according to the
plans Of the district attorney, it is
probable that the investigation will not
be completed at the present session.
