BROWNSVILLE HEARING
DEVELOPS NOTHING NEW
Lodge Calls Attention to Conflict Con-
llict In Soldiers Testimony.

Washington, March 2S.-Lieuten-
ant George T.. Carson Lawrason of
Company B, Twenty-lifth infantry,
was again on the stand all day in the
Brownsville investigation before the
senate committee on military affairs.
Lieutenant Lawrason told Senator
Warner that he had been of the opin-
ion that Fort Brown was attacked by
citizens, but the next morning when
he was shown cartridges picked up
by Captain Macklin in the streets OF
the town, he was sure the shooting
had been done by soldiers. Later Sen
ator Foraker asked the witness If he
believed now that the shooting was
done by the negro soldiers, and Lieu
tenant Lawrason replied;
IL think sir, that II should have
been discovered by this time who did
the shooting. There has been no di-
rect evidence to fix 1t on these men,
and in view of the testimony here /
cannot say | think the negroes were
guilty"
In reply to questions by Senator
Lodge the witness said he heard no
firing after he joined the company on
the night of the affray and that he
had reached the company before First
Sergeant Mingo Sanders. Senator
Lodge then called attention to the
fact that Sanders had testified that the
firing continued while the roll was be-
ing called.

PROPOSED PLANT SECOND
LARGEST IN THE WORLD

The tie treating plant, which is now
assured for Albuquerque, Will be the
eCond largest plant of its kind in the
World. AS outlined by Manager
aulkner, who has charge of the tie
md timber treating for the system, it
will be an enterprise which will prove
# enormous value to this city from
every standpoint. 1t will have q
working force from the very start of
100 men, who are. from the nature
II the work. high class workmen.
Through this plant will pass every
stick of timber used out of doors on
the Santa Fe railroad, and in addition
to the industry itself, the enormous
amount of shipping in and QUE of Al
buquerque which it will furnish will
be a considerable item.
It's capacity of 100000 ties a year
gives some idea of the extent of the
plant, although the ties are but a part
of the timber to be treated. Add to
this all bridge timber and other tim
Der used in outside construction, and
the size of the enterprise begins To
appear.
1t has been necessary to have spe-
cially designed machinery manufac-
tured for the plant which is now be-
ing completed in Chicago. The work
on the plant will begin Immediately
after the site has been delivered, be-
cause of the fact that foundations
must be ready for the machinery by
the first of June.
The plant takes the place of the
several timber treating plants which
have been operated by the Santa Fe
at different points along the system
during the past few years, since the
enormous saving effected by chem
ical treatment of timber became es-
tablished. The plants at East Las
Vegas, Belmont. AriZ., and at other
points will be abandoned, it having
been successfully established that
there will be great economy in a sin
gle centrally located plant which can
supply the timber for the entire sys-
tenn.
The accessibility of Albuquerque to
the great timber tracts of the south
west and its central location on the
system, were the arguments which
finally prevailed TO bring the plant
here. The officers of the club and the
Albuquerque business men who pre-
sented these arguments made a strong
and effective campaign for Albuquer-
que. and there is no doubt that they
will receive the support of every Al
buquerque man i'm successfully closing
the contract upon which they have
been engaged for the past two weeks.

ACTORS ON HL-FATED
TRAIN ESCAPE UNHURT

Los Angeles, Cal, March 2S.-The
Florence Roberts theatrical company
was aboard the special ear attached

board. The majority of the injured
will be brought here as speedily as
possible.

COMMITTEE TO OBTAIN FUNDS
FOR PURCHASE OF SITE

All that now remains is for the club
to raise the funds necessary for the
purchase of the necessary land. The
club has been proceeding carefully in
The matter for some time, and now
nothing remains but to secure the
money. This however, must be done
at once, the agreement by which the
railroad consents to bring the plant to
Albuquerque being a limited one. The
site must be delivered within a few
days
To that end committee of busi-
ness men was named by the board Of
directors of the club yesterday to pro-
ceed today to raise the necessary
funds This committee is to meet this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the
O'Reilly drug store, to begin its cam
paign. No further notice of the meet
ing will be given and every member
of the committee is expected to be on
hand promptly at the appointed time.
The committee is as follows:
Mayor Frank Mckee. Noa Ilfeld,
Wallace Hesselden, George Arnot A.
B. McGaffey Ivan Grunsfed. Solo

Macpherson, w. w. Strong, Simon
stern. O. n. Marion, M. Mandell, Ar
thur Everitt II. f. Fox, NJ. l.. stern.
President Brooks and Secretary Nc
Gamma, Of, the club, are ex-officio
members of the committee.
This committee proposes to go to
work and to keen at work until the
funds necessary for the purchase of
the site are raised to the last dollar,
and the big plant is actually located in
Albuquerque The Albuquerque spirit
which has made it possible to bring
the railroad to consent to locate the
plant here will without a dOugt rise
to the need now present and close the
matter.

As the result of two months of al
most constant effort on the part of the
officers, directors and a special COM
mittee of the Commercial club, Albu-
puerque has but to stretch forth her
hand to secure one more great indus
try which will go far toward making
this city the most important in the
great southwest,
This industry is the enormous tim
Der treating plant of the Santa Fe
railroad, fro which machinery has al
ready been ordered and which will
treat all the ties, bridge and other
timber used on the entire Atchison
system.
The initial cost of the plant will be
$150,000, of which not less than $60,-
600 will be expended Immediately in
this city for construction expenses. 1t
will employ from the start rOt less
than 100 men and will have a ca
pacity of 100000 ties year, in ad-
dltion to treating all the bridge tim
Der and other timber exposed in the
open air, which is used on all the
AtchisOn lines. The plant will be the
second largest timber treating plant
I'm the world and will establish this
city not only as an important shop
point. but as the headquarters of one
of the most important departments of
the great railroad.
All that Albuquerque has to do to
obtain this industry Is TO furnish to
thA railroad company site on which
20 build its plant. Tor this purpose
not less than 100 acres will be re-
auired, and it will be necessary TO fur
nish the ground at some point on the

This plant Is designed to treat alb

of the tie treating plant at East Las

was recently destroyed by fire. Belen
had been determined on for its loca-
ton. and work was to proceed at once

Mr.. T.. O. Faulkner, manager of the
tie and timber treating department of
the railroad.
This was the situation when the To-
cation of the industry was brought
to the attention of the Commercial
club. 1t was not a very favorable sit

change of correspondence found the

Washington, March 2S.-The mo-
ment has not arrived when America
and Mexico can intervene to stop the
spread of war In Centra! America.
This was the decision arrived at as
the result of a conference between
Secretary Root and Ambassador Creel
at the state department. The sacre-
tary also had the benefit of the adj
vices received by the diplomatic rep.
resentatlves Of the Central American
states from their own governments.
The absence of definite information
from the seat of trouble is embarrass-
ing to the officials who are desirous
of bringing about peace.
1t is feared the collapse Of the Boz
nIlla government in Honduras and
the consequent installation of pro-
visional government In accord with
that of Nicaragua will result In a
combined attack by them upon other
Central American republics. The an
prehension of such a movement has
greatly alarmed all of the other states.
II is said that there Is no disposition
on the part of this government to
take the part of policeman toward
these sister republics, but It would
welcome any proper opportunity to
restore peace,

Managers Must Make Sub

Tie-Up on Western Roads,
UItimatum of Brotherhood.
[By Morning JOurna! special Lensea wlre.l

Chicago, March 2S.-The labor
leaders in the conference which was
interrupted yesterday by the refusal
of the men to accept the offer of the
general managers of the western rail-
roads, met today to consider the
move threatened by the hangers to
avoid the strike.
The managers announced that they
Will invoke the aid of the Erdman
act of congress, which provides for
arbitration of such questions. The
leaders of the labor interests would
not discuss this phase of the situation
today and declared that they are yet
unable to say what they vii do in re-
gard to II.
Thea Erdman law, which was passed
in 1898, provides for a board of arbi-
tration to consist of three members,
of which the railroads shall choose
one, the men the second. and these
two the third. If no third arbitrator
shall be selected inside of three days,
the chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission lie to name him,
with the approval of the labor COM
mission.
The men have repeatedly declared
that they will not arbitrate the ques-
tions at issue in the present cOntro-
versy.
Representatives of the trainmen
and conductors declared today that
they will ignore the proposition of
the general managers Of the western
railroads. looking to arbitration, un-
der the Erman act. They voted to
persist in their preparations for
strike. They declare that a walkOut

Chicago, March 27.-The United
States government will be asked to
intervene to prevent a strike of the
conductors and trainmen on the west
ern railroads, and if the plans of the
general managers do not miscarry the
whole controversy will be submitted
to arbitration for settlement. Late
tonight the general managers gave out
a statement declaring they will de-
mand arbitration under the Erdmann
act. A strike of the men would inter-
fere with interstate commerce, and
the railroad officials believe that they
can prevent a strike by asking the
government to step in and take COM
mand of the situation.

provides for the arbitration of labor
difficulties where Interstate commerce
is involved, by the chairman of the
interstate commerce commission and

The general managers statement

Late this afterQoon the committee
of managers received an official noti
fication of the vote of the conductors
and trainmen, rejecting the last prop
osition of an increase amounting to
ten and one-half per cent in wages,
