MILLIONS IN ROAD
Western Pacific Wants to Get
Into Los Angeles via
Santa Fe.
LINE AFTER LONG HAULS
MANY ADVANTAGES WOULD AC-
CRUZ TO GOULD SYSTEM.

That the Western Pacific is headed
for Los Angeles is supported by the
fact that the line is endeavoring TO
secure a connection with the Tonopah
and Tidewater railroad. To make this
connection, a line must be constructed
between Goldfield and Ely, New. In
order to build this line S5.O00.000 in
bonds must be sold IN the east
Several months ago survey costing
500. 600 was made through the noun
tains from GOldfield to Ely. 1t is con
sidered improbable that the Western
Pacific will furnish the money for
building the road, as 1t can obtain
the long haul for its freight without It.

If the line is built. the TonOpah and

the Could business to the coast.
Santa Fe officials have nothing TO
say IN regard to the report of the
Gould building, and point out that
the Gould lines have no traffic ar
rangements for the Ludlow-Los An
geles haul over Santa Fe lines, but
other railway officials say that the
TonOpah and Tidewater already has
this arrangement and can handle the
business in this manner.

AMENDMENT SPRUNG At
AN OPPORTUNE MOMENT

against putting it to a vote. Several
suggestions for adjournment were made
Ultimately Senator Brandegee moved
TO lay the amendment on the table but
this motion was lost p to 81.
While the discussion and the voting
were in progress, Senator LaFollette
prepared an amendment so simple and
direct that senators could have no diff
ficulty in comprehending It, Mr.. Dix
on indicated a willingness to accept
this provision in place of his own, and
it went through without discussion.
The exception of wireless telegraph
companies was made at the suggestion
Of Senator Hepburn.
Section IL Revived.
The result of the vote had no sooner
been announced than Mr.. Brown of Ne
braska arose to present his amendment
reVlvlng a portion Of Section II. AS
presented his amendment prohibits all
common carriers from acquiring any
interest whatsoever IN the capital stock
of, or purchasing or leasing any rail-
road which is competitive with that of
the purchasing company. a fine of
$4,000 is imposed for each days viola
ton of this provision.
The suggestion of this important ac-
ton, following closely as it did upon
the vote to place telegraph and tele-
phone companies under the control of
the commission. was more than the
Senate was willing to accept without
more opportunity LOT QSnD6rdLlOn.
Many protests against immediate &C
ton were uttered, and when Senator
Bacon moved to adjourn a large num-
Der Of senators acquiesced. BY a rising
vote, the Senate decided 81 to "a, to ad-
jOurn.
DOIIiVer Amendment Lost.
The DOIliver amendment on which
the first vote of the day was taken was
lost by the decisive vote of 10 to Al.
The affirmative vote was cast by
Messrs. Beverage, BOrah, Bourne, Bris-
tow, Brown. Burkett, Burton, Clapp,
Crawford. C1mmins. Dixon, Dolliver
Gamble, Jones, LaFollette, Republicans,
and Chamberlain, NeWlands, Purcell
and Stone, Democrats.
Speeches favorable to the Dolliver
amendment were. made by Senators
Jones and Stone and against It by Sen
ators Bailey, Hughes and Rayner.
The opposition was on the ground of
constitutionality. Mr.. Stone csntended
for the support Of the amendment as 1t
was in accord with the Democratic plat
form.
His speech aroused Mr.. Hughes, who
asserted there was no language in the
Denver platform in support of the pro-
vision and none that would pardon or
excuse it.
He contended the amendment was en-
tirely contrary to the spirit Of Demo-
cratic doctrine.
Mr.. Newlands Joined Mr.. Stone in the
contention that the Dolliver amend
ment was in the line of the Denver
platform.

company, and his former subordinate

Evidence Against HeiISe.
The governments fire in the closing
hours of the trial was mainly directed
against Heike and the evidence intro
dUced before the early adjournment to-
day was submitted chiefly in a further
effort to prove him personally cOgniz-
ant of the frauds and as indirectly aid
ing and abetting them.
TOday'S evidence consisted for the
most part of letters written by Heike.
A number of letters were read in an
effort to show that he kept close watch
on all the multitudinOus details of the
business. One letter, under date of
September II, 1903, written by Heike
to Berbraucht, contained this statement:
We can understand that there may
be u reason why the customs weights
fall short from the invoice weight"
Twelve checks given by the govern
ment as rebates on duty on sugar were
also introduced. These were endorsed
by Heike as secretary The govern
ment contends that these rebates were
on fraUdulently underweished sugar.
