PLAN NEW LINE
FROM FL PASO
S15,OOO,000 TO BE SPENT ON
EXTENSION
RAILROADS WILL BE BUILT TO
PACIFIC OCEAN
Surveys viii Be Begun in Thirty Days,
Says Canadian Capitalist in ln-
terview at Southwestern
Texas Metropolis
tBy Associated Press.l


Ell. PASO, Tex, Sept 1S.-Dr. T. w.
Pearson, head of the Canadian capi-
talists who recently purchased the Rio
Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific road
and secured control of the Chihuahua
&, Pacific, announced here last night
that the two roads will be extended
from El Paso to the Pacific ocean with
an outlet at the mouth of the Rio Mayo
in Sonora, the project to involve $15,-
0O0 900. Surveys will be begun in
thirty days.
In connection with the road, DR..
Pearson said a company would be
formed later for Panama and coast
business. He also stated that the new
road will give a shorter route to the
Pacific than the Southern Pacific, and
will give the shortest route to central
United States points from Central and
South America.
On the completion of the Panama
canal it will afford the quickest traf-
fic from the United States to the west
end of the canal.
This is considered a step to head off
another projected extension by Rock
Island interests through Arizona from
the line of the Ell Paso & South
western.
The new road will extend from Ell
Paso to MADEIRA on the Rio Grande,
Sierra Madre & Pacific, then connect
with Temosachic on the Chihuahua &
Pacific thence to La Junta on the
road, thence to Minaca and from there
300 miles Of track will be built to the
coast, following the valley of the Rio
Mayo. The average cost of this 300
miles of road will be $4,000 mile.

G0MPERS WILL APPEAL.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Samuel Com
pers. John Mitchell and Fronk Nor
rison of the American Federation of
Labor, who were sentenced by Justice
Wright to Jail terms of twelve, nine
ard six months respectively for con-
tempt in the now famous injunction
proceedings of the Bucks Stove &
Range company of St. Louis, will take
an appeal to the United States court
in the event the district court of ap-
pea1s sustains the action of the court
which imposed sentence upon them.
An editorial by President Gompers in
the American Federationist is as fol-
lows:
Whatever the decision of the court
of appeals may be, it must ultimately
lead to victory for labor and a victory
for labor will mean a victory for all
the people. Should the court sustain
the appeal and annul the sentences, it
will maintain beyond question the right
of free speech and free press.
'If it should sustain the decision OF
Justice Wright, it will simply mean
that an appeal must be taken to the
final determining word as to the Judicial
conception of existing constitutional
guarantees.
Even should the highest judicial trib-
unal of the country fail to maintain the
right of free speech and free press, there
is still higher court-the court of pub.

$25 for each man. The apparent diff

Attorney Schenck, appeared before the
county commissioners this morning
with petition for a county offer which
was readily agreed to and fixed at an
additional $50 each.
