AN AUTO TRIP THAT
WAS NOT TAKEN.

WAS NOT TAKEN.
After preparations that extended
over several hours, Mayor J. w. Stock
ard and party were disappointed in
making what would have been an un-
usual trip last night. G. H. Porter
of the advertising department of the
Santa Fe, had asked for the use of
one of the cars of the Roswell Auto
mobile Company at Portales for few
days The consent of General Mana
ger Avery Turner had been secured
to run the machine On the railroad
track to Portales ald the rubber
tires were removed and the inside
fianges fastened securely
All arrangements were completed
for the trip and the car was to leave
after the arrival of the train from the
east at ten o'clock last night The
car was driven by c. w. Lake. Ed
Taylor had been selected by the rail-
road as conductor. J. w. Stockard
and Record representative were the
only passengers. When it came time
to start Taylor made an examination
of the car and the fanges of the
wheels and decided he did not care
to make the trip. He wired the rail
road officials at Amarillo that he
not consider it safe
While waiting to get another con-
ductor or make some other arrange
ments the party decided to try the
car in the yards. 1t was set on the
track. When one wheel rested on it's
rail the other wheel fell just inside
the other rail. 1t was absolutely i'm
possible to make the trip at all. Man
ager Stockard had gone on the belief
that the standard gage railroad track
was 561a inches apart. His car wheels
are 56h inches apart, from center to
center. The tracks in the local
yards are 50 inches apart from inside
to inside.
The car was sent up to Mr.. Porte
on a freight train to-day.

TO INVESTIGATE RAIL
ROAD BLOCK SYSTEMS.

Washington, Jan. An inquiry
into the operation of the block sys-
TENS of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road and of the Southern railway
was Instituted today by the Inter
state Commerce Commission In MAX
ing this inquiry the commission is
acting under of authority of a resolu-
tion of congress adopted at the last
session calling for a report on the
working of railroad block systems
generally. Specific instances of what
appears to be a failure of the block
signal device, or as one commission
er put it failure of the human end
of the device to prevent accidents in
volving the loss not only of property
but of life, are afforded by the re-
cent disastrous accident on the Sou

and on the Baltimore & Ohio at Ter

ate resumed its session at noon. The
Foraker resolution providing for in
quiry into the discharge of the col
ored troops of the 25th infantry was
called up. Senator Culberso1, of Tex
as, addressed the senate on the sub
ject, and said the conduct OF the ne
gro soldiers at Brownsville had been
very irritating, stating that on Aug
ust 4 the day before the shooting up
of the town, criminal assault had
been committed by one of the sol
diers on the wife of a reputable citi-
zen and that no arrests had been
made for this crime In defending
President Roosevelt's action, Mr..
Culberson said the fact that the
troops were negroes had nothing to
do with their discharge. Confusion
as to the legal question involved was,
he said, responsible for the statement
that the President mad no authority
to make the discharge. The Presi-
dents constitutional authority anu
the authority given by the articles
of war covered the case and made
his action legal, he declared.
Mr.. Culberson declared in closing
that the people of Texas would de-
fend the honor of their women with
their lives, and advised strongly
against any action that would lead
to conflict between the races.
Senator Foraker followed with an
argument in favor of his resolution,
and at the conclusion of his remarks
the senate agreed to postpone furtn-
er action on the resolution until next
Monday.

tenn to Be Inquired Into by Inter
state Commerce Commission To
Prevent Such Accidents.

New York, Jan. 4.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission begins today
an inquiry into the affairs of the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
railway systems. The underlying pur-
pose of the investigation is to dis
cover whether or not the two rail-
roads are natural competitors, Or
whether there is an agreement be-
tween them that may be construed
as il restraint of trade under the
Sherman antitrust act. The inquiry,
it is said, will last many weeks, and
the commission will sit in a number
of cities, going west from here. E.
H. Hartman is expected to be the
most important witness examined
here Among the other witnesses sum-
moned are A. L. Lohler, vice presi-
L. P, J. G. Stubbs, traffic director,
VIM. Mail, comptroller, Alexander
Miller, secretary, w. V. S. Thorne.
director of purchases, and julius
Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance
and operation, all of the same sys-
TEN. Chairman Knapp and Commis-
sioner Lane are acting for the full
commission in taking testimony. The
general understanding today was
that after sitting in this city today
and tomorrow, the commissioners
would proceed to Chicago to take
further testimony.
When the session opened today it
was announced that President Harri
man would be unable to appear for
ten days or more, on account of i'll
health following al operation. Harri-
man was excused from attending at
this time
The first witness was Secretary
Millar, of the Union Pacific. He adj
mitted that he was also secretary of
the Southern Pacific and of the Or
egon Short Line and assistant secre-
tary of the Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Company, and that these
companies were under the same con-
troll with E. H. Hartman as presi-
dent.
