Mildly Punished.
from The Tribune Bureau

- .p4'i Ai' buIGaNf
Washington, Feb. S-By innictins about
the mildest punishment possible, consider
ing the admitted technical violation Of its
rules. the House to-day closed the incident
of a near personal encounter between Rep
resentative Macon, member from Arkansas,
and a Washington newspaper correspond
ent. who attempted to assault the Arkansan
because of the opprobrious terms applied
by the latter TO the correspondent.
The Committee on the Judiciary, which
Investigated the matter. agreed that an at
tempted assault had been made upon the
Arksnsan, In breach Of the constitutional
immunity granted members OF the House
for words spoken in debate. and recon-
mended that the correspondent be excluded
from the press gallery for ten days.
Thus. the Arkansan. who demanded his
constitutional immunity in lieu Of shot
gun protection, seems to be appeased and
the friends of the aggrieved newspaper man
in the House and in the gallery are like
wise satisfied.

Washington. Feb. 15--Predicting the COM
rietion Of the six hundred miles of railway
necessary to form continuous line from
New York 70 Panama within hve years
Francis T. Ioomis, former Assistant Secre-
,ary Of state, greatly surprised not 20 say

LOOMS went on TO say that he would be
greatly surprised II all the remaining links
Of the proposed railway which will connect
New York with Buenos Ayres by rail were
40; either in operation or unoer construc-
ton within twelve years.
Mr.. Loomis quoted President Taft and
Secretary Knox, showing the deep interest
which this administration is taking In the
project. He traced the history Of the prof.
sct from its inception by James G. Blaine
down to the present time. pointing ont that
the total line would consist Of 1o,1ls miles
OF road. Of which 64N miles are already in
operation. leaving S,G72 miles 10 he con-
structed. Only a single gap In the line
from New York TO Panama remains to be
built, the coo miles from the northern boun-
darv Of Guatemala 20 Panama. The esti-
mated cost cf construction OF this link Is
$4,000 a mile bat Mr LOOMS said that
was an extremely liberal estimate, as some
Of il could Jc built for less than half that
sum lie expressed the opinion that this

TIE most expensive and. difficult portion
in South America is the 1.Soo miles from

already begun. OF the remaining portion,
from Cuzco 10 Puenos Ayres, all but ABOUT
.75 miles is already under construction.
M. Loomis outlined the transcontinenta'
lires. which will bisect and promote the
construction OF the intercontinenta line

In conclusion Mr.. Loomis said: The ben
.d,, that will Aow from the building OF this
road through many parts Of Latin America
are almost beyond calculation. l refer ooth
20 the advantages of a commercial nature
and 10 those which VIII accrue TO clviiiza-
uon
The successful building and operation OF
line OF railway through Central America
for example, will contribute more than any
other business factor not only to the ma
terial development of those countries
through which It passes, but 10 their
permanent and enduring pacihcauon
and prosperity. We have had IN our
own history and in our own experience
salient and fruitful examples of the perma-
rert and splendid results arising from the
au;ldin- Of railways through new. unset
tied and wild portions of the United States.
We have seen these regions become orderly,
fruitful and prosperous We have seen tne
avage, the desperate and the lawless cow
bow disappear and with them the crimes

-iencv which they represented.
THE building of the Pan-American Rail
