stated that, allowing for losses sus-
tanned in the recent heavy slump OF
prices, the Union Pacific company had
profited no less than $32,000,000 by its
stock purchases. Mr.. Milburn said
this fact should silence the claim of
the commission that the stock pur-
chase tended to impair the effective
ness Of the railroads engaged in inter-
state commerce.
Mr.. Kellogg, in reply to this, stated
that the so-called market value of the
stocks sold to the Union Pacific was
nothing more or less than a Wall
street quotation, probably fixed by the
very pool of men who, it is claimed.
were behind the stock deal. AS to the
impairment of the usefulness of the
railroad. Mr.. Kellogg asserted that the
roads inflated values were today I'M
able to borrow money to build the cars
needed by them to carry out their
obligations to the public.
'tThe same thing is true of the roads
without inflated values" retorted Mr..
Milburn.

ADAMS TRIAL HALTS.
Clarence barrow Goes to Spokane to
49, Consult a Doctor.

Rathdrum, Idaho, Nov. 14.-Progress
in the trial of Steve Adams for the al
legged murder of Fred Tyler has been
delayed to permit Clarence Darrow,
kane and have a specialist examine his
ear.
Had the trial not been delayed, the
state would have finished with it's tes-
timony in chief.
The greater part of the day was ta-
ken UP in a cross-examination of De-
tective James MCFARLAND in the Steve
Adams trial. Clarence Darrow, attor-
tory of MCFARLAND following it from
his birth. to the time of the arrest of
Steve Adams. MCFARLAND said he went
to work for the Pinkerton agency about
1869 and has been with it ever since;
became superintendent of the Denver
office in 1887 and about 1892 became gen.
eral Superintendent of the western di-
vision. He said he had gained many
confessions from men, both inside and
outside of prisons and told of number
obtained outside. In obtaining these
confessions he usually told the man the
state as a rule dealt literally with men
who turned states evidence. He told
of the Molly Maguires and that he was
a member of the order for two years
and a half for the purpose Of obtaining
evidence against them and that as a
result of his Investigations Is men were
hanged and later five or six more were
hanged.
During the cross-examination Mr..
Hawley entered vigorous objections but
they were overruled, cne court stating
that he proposed to be more liberal than
usual in this case. Considerable ami
mostly was exhibited by both Mr.. Haw-
lev and Mr.. Darrow and they were
reprimanded by the court. They then
apologized to the court and to each
other.
MCFARLAND had testified that he was
a native of Ireland and when asked If
the Mollfe Maguires were the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, replied shortly,
mo: it was a criminal organization. "
WAS it social organization?" asked
barrow.
at was a secret criminal organiza-
ton" said MCFARLAND.
Did you go by your own manner?
II went by the name OF James Nc
Kenna."
Were you known as McKenna the
tough?"
Hawley interposed an objection and
it was sustained.

the Southern railway, which is a Nor
gan line, and the Illinois Central which
is controlled by the Hartman interests
have encouraged investments aggregat-
ing many millions of dollars.
The industrial departments of the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
system and the Frisco submit state
ments showing that, under their direct
supervision, more than 760 new plants
capitalized at s2S, 997, 700 and employing
some 10000 men, were started in the
southwest in the fiscal year just closed
On the Frisco were established 33s
new plants, capitalized at $4,000, 900 and
employing 1900 men, and on the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Iron Mountain system
422 new Industries, capitalized at $19,-
997,700 and employing about $4,000 men
These figures cover only new COM
panies and plants and only such con-
Germs as were started under the auspices
of these lines and really on the tracks
of the two systems. But the statistics
are large enough to give an idea of the
rapid development which is taking
place in the southwest.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas makes
no report on the capitalization of the
new Industries opened on its tracks, OF
of the number of men employed, but 1t
does present details regarding the char
acter of industrial progress. President
1.-The company has not relaxed it's eff
forts to promote the fruther industrial
development of the country adjacent to
it's lines, and there has been no cessa-
ton III the establishment of new indus

Among the more important enter
prises of the year are two cotton mills,
IA cotton gins, 10 cotton warehouses, 6
cotton seed oil mills, canning factor

5 creameries, 2 broom factories, 1 tape

1T is gratifying to observe the con-

Parsons Kan, Nov. 14.-Orders have

sent there. Immediately freight trains

The blockade was started a month
ago, when the cotton crop came on for
handling With such a rush were the
services of the railroad called upon to
handle the cotton that the yards at all
the division and terminal points were
blockaded. insufficient motive power
prevented the cars being moved.
In order to prevent the situation from
getting past all relief, the Katy issued
orders to allow no freight, except
perishable and company coal, to go
south of Parsons, and thousands of
cars of dead freight. have been in the
yards here for months.
Orders were also given to send loco

The car about to be adopted by the

By hard and fast work the divisions
on the south lines of the Katy were
cleared up. Then came the order to
send dead freight that had been held

However, there is a shortage of mo-

and it will take week to clear the
yards here. This evening there were
still 500 loaded freight cars on the stor-
age tracks here.
