DYNAM|T|NG CASES
COME UP TOMORROW
Wilson and Delaney TO Plead TO Mis-
demcanOr Charge in the
Police Court.

Frank Wilson and James Delaney
Will be arraigned in police court to-
morrow morning on a misdeameanor
charge They are the two men who are
suspected by the police of knowing
more OF the attempted blowing up OF
the Utah hotel foundations than they
Will tell. The police have followed up
the case closely ever since the big
explosions startled the north end OF
the city several weeks ago, shattered
windows and raised all sorts of con-
sternation.
When the dynamiting took plac.
with no material damage done, tie
unions were brought into the matter
and they denied most cmphaticaliy
that they had any connection with
the case. Then 1t developed that Will
son had attempted to work various
interests for money In exchange for
Information as TO the perpetrators
of the blowup. Arrests OF both Wilson
and Delaney followed, with the entire
police and detective forces working
upon the case.
Just what has been discovered is
not known. but the fact that the men
are arraigned upon an insignificant
charge. comparatively Is viewed as
somewhat of q puzzle by several per-
sons interested in the case AT the
same time, 1t is intlmated by polio"
officials that the lesser charge may
be followed by one of more portent-
Wilson IS believed to have history
which will not bear scrutiny. according
TO the police. and Delaney. who has
talked freely, has given out informa-
ton which has n strong bearing upon
the dynamiting
Both the police and the private in
terests concerned have Deen cxhaus-
ing every resource in following up the
dynamiting and it is probable that
In the morning there will be evidence
which will put a very in
tcresting face upon what at the pres

puzzlng happening.

Chairman of frisco Road Tells
What He Thinks of Pro-
posed New Law.
THROTTLE CONSTRUCTION.
Elghty-fyc Per Cent of United States
Has Yet to Receive Greatest
Growth Through Railroads.

New York, Jan. 19.-In statement
made public here today. Chairman b
f. YoalSum of the st. Louis & San
Francisco railroad. says that he con-
siders that certain provisions in the
measures introduced in Congress by
Representative Townsend and Senator
Elkins are oppressive to new railroad
enterprises in the west and southwest.
Discussing the two bills, which con-
template that all railroad stock is
sued shall be sold at par, Mr.. Yoakum
says;
Railroad construction through new
countries where destruction from wash
outs. delays and other causes Is likely
Is financially the most hazardous of
enterprises In which men engage. Leg
islation limiting the issuance of rail-
road securities should be made with the
fact clearly in mind that in some sec
tions OF our country, there are large
areas with no railroads, and they can
not get the railroads unless builders
are allowed TO make a profit or see
the chance of q profit.
CALLING FOR RAILROADS.
Taking the Mississippi as a dividing
line, all the territory west of that line
is calling continuously for extended
railroad facilities to take care of the
agricultural growth. Eighty-five per
cent of the United States lies west of
the Mississippi and south OF Mason
and DiXon's line and all of this terri
tory Is yet to receive Its greatest
growth and development.
There are sections of our western
country a hundred miles from q rail-
road and many million acres of good
land must therefore lie idle, while
breadstuffs and farm products are
growing scarcer and higher In price.
The effect of such a law as pro-
posed would be to discontinue the rail-
road building by private capital and
leave future construction to the large
systems which can take their own time
and build when they please
To Illustrate, IL the growth of Cal
ifornia, with Its rich San Joaquin val
ley and the Imperial valley, which is
just coming strongly to the front and
all of the territory lying north of Los
Angeles continues as it should and IL
the Pacific gateways to the eastern
world get their share of the traffic.

A dissolution of pool which had

TO sell the stock short were severely

evidence of being entirely controlled by
