GOING SOME.
The Electric Railway Extending

PICNICS ON NEXT SUMMER
Will Open up Fine Agricultural
Country.

The fifth mile of rails on the
electric railroad north of the
Power House in northwest Mexico
towards Nolino was completed
last week und the car run over it.
About 50 men are at work on
the line and if the weather does
not interfere too much it will be
but a few weeks till the car will
be run into Moino.
AS the Message suggested some
weeks ago Mexico people will at.
tend c. c. Bybee s big annual pic
me next summer going out on the
electric ears.
1t is fine country out that way,
and will begin to blossom as the
rose when it gets the railroad. II
nothing prevents the cars should
be running into Santa Fe by the
early summer. Santa Fe may
want one of her big picnics in cele-
bration of the event.

four miles out from Mexico, have
fine grounds for a big park,
where Chautauqua assemblies and
other gatherings might be held.
Passenger travel over the cleo
trio railroad will not be the only
traffic, but live stock, poultry and
other freight will be big element.
IIurrah for the electric railroa1.
1t is just the beginning of great
things for Mexico and every town
and community it touches.
Judge Thomas Murry, of Gala
way county, one of the directors
of the Mexico, Santa Fe & Perry
Traction Co., was interview ed by
the Columbia Tribune last week !:
"The Mexico and Perry" said
Judge Murry, if weather condi-
tions permits work will have eight
miles of the track north of Mex
leo laid and practically ready to
run cars over. This, with the mile
of trackage that runs through
Mexico, and the four miles that
are built south of Mexico toward
Hereford, will make thirteen miles
of the road that will have the
rails laid in sixty days. The grad
ing has been completed eight
miles south from Mexico. This
lacks only two miles of being half
way to Hereford.
The progress Of the road is
most satisfactory and if unfavor-
able weather does not Interfere,
the work will go right ahead. IN
D addition to what I have said, the
material for the bridges between
+ Mexico and Molino, the point
- which the road has now reached
is on the ground ready to bt
c erected. "

HUNTS NOMINATION
IS NOT CONF F|RMED
Final Action Not Taken BY
Committee-Three Others
Disposed Of.

The nomination of Judge William H
Hunt, of Montana, now on the court oi
customs, to be judge on the commerce
court, was held up by the Senate Judi
ciary Committee today.
The committee ordered favorable re-
ports on the nominations of the other
judges of the Commerce Court, az fol
lows:
Robert w. Archibald, of Pennsylvania
Judge John E. Garland, of South Da-
kota, and Julian w. Mack, of Illinois.
Judge Martin Knapp has already been
confirmed as the chief justice of the
court. 1t is the expectation the other
three judges will be at once confirmed.
This will make possible the organization
of the court without delay.
Charges were filed with the committee
against Judge Hunt some days ago.
These charges alleged that when Judge
Hunt was on the district bench in Mon
tana he was unduly favorable to the big
smelling interests owning the smelter al
Anaconda. Persons who declare theiI
property was injured by the smelling
plant, brought the charges against
Judge Hunt, and alleged that in his de-
cision in case they brought against
the smelling interests. he favored the
interests.
The committee did not finally reject
Judge Hunt but merely deferred final
action.
The nomination of Judge Walter ].
Smith to be circuit judge of the Eighth
circuit was referred to a subcommittee
for investigation. While there Is oppo-
sition to Judge Smith, now a member
of the House, II is not believed it will
be prolonged or sufficient to prevent
confirmation.

SENATORS STIRRED
OVER HEALTH BILLS
Discussion on Question oi
Establishing Bureau or
Department.

A sharp discussion occurred in the
Senate this afternoon over the question
of what is to be done about the various
bills for the establishment of a bureau
Of health. a department Of health. and
the like.
Senator William Alden Smith stirred
the matter up by asking what the Public
Health Committee intended to do about
these bills. He said he was beset with
kilograms about them, many in opposi-
ton.
Senator Martin, chairman, took the
floor and with considerable heat, said
the committee had been working hard
on this question, had had hearings, and
had developed so many different opinions
it did not know what course to take.
He declared he himself had got over
LOCO kilograms in one day.
In the discussion Senator Hale ex-
pressed the hope nothing would be done
and that the matter would be allowed
to drop
This did not meet the approval of
Senator Martin. who declared some-
thing ought to be done to protect the
public health. The question got no
farther. however. than the stage of dis
cussion. and no action was taken.

YACHTSMAN GOES TO
BALTIMORE TO WE'D
Romance Begun on River
When Edward Wayson
Saves Life.

When Vice Commodore Edward B.
Wayson, of the Corinthian Yacht Club,
met Mrs. Mary c. Duffy on the deck
of the big auxiliary sIoop Mineola a
year ago, a romance began which
reached its climax today in a marriage
license issued in Baltimore for them
to wed.
The friendship between the two rip
ened rapidly under the spell Of sum-
mer river trips, and was firmly ce-
mented when, last August, the vice
commodore saved her from death In the
rived below Piney Point.
While the event was expected by the
members of the yacht club, still 1t came
as a distinct surprise to Mr.. Wayson's s
parents, who live at 42O Fourth street
southeast.
Mrs. Duffy, who before her first mar
riage, was Miss Mary Cregan, of Alex
andria, a tall brunette, is an enthus-
iastic devotee Of the water.
On one Of the cruises of the Corinth-
ian Club last year, she and the vice
commodore, who Is employed in the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, were intro
duced.
When the club made its cruise to
Pfney Point last August, Mrs. Duffy
was stopping at one of the Point ho-
tells. She was bathing one morning
in dangerous water when she sank.
Wayson hurried to her rescue and
after a severe struggle managed to
get her aboard one of the yachts of
the Corinthian club.
