TRYING NEW BRAKE SYSTEM
Santa Fe Experimenting With New st.
Clair Air Brakes.

La Junta, Colo, July 23.-For some
weeks past there has been quiet work
going on in the Santa Fe yards. Sixty
cars were equipped with what is
known as the st. Clair air brake sys-
tenn. Today a train was completed
and lined up on a sidetrack for a test
under the direction of f. w. Thomas,
engineer of tests for the Santa Fe
company.
A. A st. Clair, the inventor, was a
conductor on the Burlington road and
has a company formed of Burlington
men, who are also here.
This was the first test and so far
the equipment has failed to work
through the entire train of sixty cars,
on a fewer number, and it is the gen
eral opinion that there is some slight
defect in the equipment.
j. j. COutts, one of the government
experts, stated today that it was his
judgment that the system would oper-
ate perfectly and that it was destined
to supersede the present air brakes.
The greater part of the day was spent
in an endeavor to locate the trouble
The experiments will continue.
Those watching the tests are F. w.
Ainsworth, I. c. Simpson of the West
inghouse company; W. p. Borland, J.

Work on New IL. C. Union Depot
to Start in Fall.
Terminal Railway Board i'm Chi
cago Accepts Ordinance.
WILL CALL ELECTION.
People to Vote ON Measure
Sometime in September.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

Kansas City. July 2s.-The action
of the board of directors of the Kan
sas City Terminal Railway company
in Chicago in accepting the ordinance
passed by the council two weeks ago,
is a substantial assurance that Kan
sas City is soon to have union pas
senger station and railroad freight
terminal facilities variously esti-
mated to cost from $15,00O.0OO to
s27,0O0,0Oo.
There are two plans under con-
sideration. known as the larger
and smaller" plans. The former
involves the laying of six tracks along
the Kansas City Belt Line right of
way, the building of high line in the
West Bottoms and other physical re-
quirements. The smaller" plan only
admits of four tracks along the Belt
Line, and the building of the high
line in later years. None of these
mooted details have anything to do
with the station proper, for it is con-
than 100000 is to be erected be
tween Twentieth, Twenty second,
Main and Wyandotte streets Work
will be begun first on the station.
While the foregoing matters of
physical details are to be worked out
by the railroad engineers. and while
they are consummating their plans,
the council will be asked to call q
special election to afford the voters
an opportunity to ratify the Ord1-
nance. This will require a publica-
ton of thirty days, and it is not ex-
pected that the election will be held
before early in September.
H. L. Harmon, president or the
Terminal company; S. w. Moore, the
chief counsel, and J. V. Hanna, gem
eral engineer, attended yesterdays
meeting in Chicago and they are not
expected in Kansas City before to-
morrow.
1t was stated in railroad circles last
night that if Mr.. Harmon returns in
time he may urge the council at It's
meeting Monday night to pass the
necessary legislation for the special
election as the Terminal company is
anxious to convene the work of con-
struction by early fall. It is under
stood that President Harmon has
made the necessary financial arrange
ments and has the signed promises of
ten different railroads to use the ter
minals at the outset.
The work of building the new
terminal. if the six-track plan is de-
cided upon, will occupy close to two
directors of the company attended the
meeting in Chicago YESTERDAY -

with the possible exception of Ben
Williams, who is the justice of the
peace at Oakland in addition to be-
ing member of high standing in the
Old Soldiers club. Ben's hat blew
off about a mile or so west of the
park. But this did not dampen his
spirits any. After he had RECALLED
himself at the fine dinner which the
big party enjoyed in the shade of the
trees near the theater at the park, he
started afoot after his hat, and when
everybody had given him up for lost
he returned with his quest which
was none the worse for its experience
Not the least interesting feature
of the affair was the presence of Mr..
F. II. Minnix. He served in the Con-
federate army during the Civil war
and lost one Of his legs while fighting
for the defeated cause He was
treated like conrade and brother
in-arms by the members of the Old
Soldiers, club, all of whom it is al
most unnecessary to state are union
army veterans In fact Mr.. Minnix
was entertained pretty much like the
guest of honor of the day. This is
rather conclusive evidence that the
day of hard feelings between the
wearers of the blue and the gray is
of the past

There have been larger picnic
parties at Vinewood this year, but
not one of them has been more en-
joyabIe in any particular than the
one which was given there yesterday
by the Old Soldiers club of Oakland.
This organization comprises the vet
Grams of the Civil war who live in
that town. It has the delightful
custom of holding parties in honor of
the birthdays OF its members. These
are usually held at the homes of the
members as their natal days roll
around.
But the weather has been SO temp
ting for out door recreation during
the past few weeks that several of
the members of the club, five Of them
to be exact, whose birthdays all fell
within a short time of each other,
decided to combine their parties into
one big affair at Vinewood, which
should not only be for the members
of the club but also for their wives.
the members of their families and
their friends. It was this event that
occurred yesterday and the men
whose birthdays were honored in this
fashion are Scott Kelsey, John
Holmes. George Rake, II. S. Steele
and William B. HerscheI-
The party began in the morning
with the start from Oakland at about
10 o'clock The long ride to the park
was thoroughly enjoyed BY everyone.

lice Judge Chambers court yesterday

an, who was arrested by Patrolmen

to know nothing of what has been
going on since his disappearance.
One of the most plausible theories
advanced this evening is that Wright
had Just cause to fear some one and
that he departed for the north rather
than face trouble which he knew was
coming. Finding what great amount
of speculation and excitement his de-
parture had occasioned he cast about
for some plausible story which would
permit of his return home. He finally
decided upon a scheme to return and
wounded himself slightly either with
his own gun or with a knife. Having
done this, he followed out his schedule
and suddenly found that IL doctor
examined his wounds his trick would
be discovered. This theory fits in with
every known fact except that there
were signs of a struggle not far from
the place where the oVercoat was round
in the cemetery and that Wright's face
gives evidence of having been pounded.
Constable Austin says that he in
tends to sift the matter to the bottom,
and that if he can secure the names
of the asSailantS or assallant or
Wright he will make an arrest at once.
One of the most peculiar features OF
the case is that a telegram dated at
san Francisco and signed IF. ii.
Allen" the name Of a prominent Alta
denan, which stated that the boy was
all right, has been proved to be in
Wright'5 own handwriting.
No one is allowed to see the young
man this evening, and none of the
members of the family will talk, act
ing under advice of the officers. DR..
Abbott, the attending physician, will
not even admit that he has examined
the boys wounds, contenting himself
with the statement that young
Wright is getting along las well as
can be expected"

COAL LAND FRAUDS CASE
DEFENDANTS DISMISSED
Proceedings Come to Close When
Prosecution Fails to Introduce
Letter

DENVER, Dec 21.-Federal Judge
Lewis today discharged the defendants
on trial before him for alleged coal
land frauds in Routt county. The pro-
ceedings came to a close when Federal
Attorney Ward attempted to intro
duce letter alleged to have been writ
ten by one of the defendants to ]. w.
Atwell, dummy" entryman, and the
court sustained the objection of the
defense to the introduction OF the let
ter on the ground that it was self
discriminating and took away consti-
tutional rights.
Judge Lewis also held that the deeds
from several of the defendants to the
Union Land company, which the pros
ecution held to have been fraudulent,
could not be introduced to show the
conspiracy.
1t is said all the other big land fraud
cases set for trial may now be dis
missed.
