Mormon from Dublan, who arrived

Casas Grandes and again at Pearson

NOTHING EVER like IT.
Kansas Election MuddIe VIII Be New
to Supreme Court.

washington, July 29.-Reports from
Topeka that supporters of Mr.. Taft in
Kansas, among them David Mulvane,
01an to have the supreme court of the
limited States review conditions in the
presidential primary in the case, have
aroused interest of Republican leaders
here.
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt, partic-
1larlv Senator BriStow, are watching
for developments in the case and keep
inc a lookout for the arrival of legal
representatives of the Taft champions
in kansas who may be coming to seek
info. 4-a--on from the justices of the
supreme court.
The supreme court of Kansas decided
that it would not enjoin county clerks
from printing on the primary ballot
of August 6, under the name of Re
nubIican party" the names of eIect-r
candidates who had declared they
would vote Cor Roosevelt.
Any member of the court has the
nov - to issue an order requiring the
kansas supreme court to send the case
I'D for review and to grant a restrain
ing order to prevent the names from
being printed on the ballot until the
federal supreme court had passed on
the case. Logically the application
would be made to Justice Vandevanter
assigned to the circuit in which Kan
sas is located, but he is spending his
vacation in New Hampshire Applica-
ton might also be made to Justice Day,
now at Mackinaw, the nearest of any
of the justices to Kansas.
While the justices might feel EN-
powered to issue an order for the re-
view, members of the court lately have
hesitated to take that responsibility,
where mOmentouS questions delicately
balanced, were involved

Winter Schedules Too Fast for
Safety, Commission Rules.
Twentieth Century Limited Not
Wrecked by Broken Rail.

Albany. N. Y, July 29.-That the ac-
cident to the New York Central $
Twentieth. Century limited at Hyde
Park on March Is, was due to an ir-
regularity in superelevation of the
outer rails, or what is more common
ly known as a low spot in track and
not to a broken rail as was general
ly supposed, is the finding of the state
public service commission as the re
suit of it's investigation of the accident
In connection with its report the COM
mission recommends the reduction in
the speed of passenger trains, especial
ly in the winter season, and announces
that the New York Central and Penn
sylvania have practically consented to
change the schedule of their 1S-hour
New York-Chicago trains to 20 hours
during the winter.
In the Hyde Park accident the Twen-
tieth Century limited was deraiIed
while running at high speed and foul
cars went over a 10 foot embankment
into the Hudson river where they were
stopped by heavy ice. Seventy-three
passengers and employees we're injur-
ea.
Frost Caused the Wreck.
The commission reports:
1.-The accident occurred at the end OF
one of the most severe winters known
when the frost was coming out of the
ground. 61edN1nS OIL the track had
doubtless occurred in many places and
at this point the heaving was proba-
bly, especially uneven. The commits
sion feels that an important subject to
consider in connection with this acci-
dent is that of high speeds in the win
ter and ca ly spring when the tracks
are subjected to the severest condi
tionS.
Alternate freezing and thawing make
uneven track and the difficulty of in
spection and repair is increased. In
stead of the elastic roadbed of summer,
the structure is almost as solid as
rock and the strain on rails, on loco
motive tires, and on car wheels, and
axles is augmented by the resulting
impact.
1.-The record of accidents to fast
trains during the last year raises the
question whether the schedules are not
too fast for safety. Whatever the fac
tor of safety may be in summer, il
must be materially reduced in winter. :"

Washington.-The house OF repre-
sentatiyes, by a vote Of 1Ss to 90.
passed the Democratic bin reducing
the tariff duties on wool. wool cloth
ing. carpets and other products.
The measure is Identical with the
Underwood bill passed by the house
last session and the Democratic ma
jority preserved it intact from amend
ment by the Republicans in putting 1t
through the house.
It provides a 90 per cent. az vaiorem
duty on raw wool, which amounts to
about i've cents pound specific duty
as compared with the IL cents in the
Aldrich-Payne law.
This and other reductions IN the bill
average about AZ per cent and the ef-
feet, according to the Democrats.
would be material decrease in the
price of clothing and other wool prod
ucts
Eighteen Republican progressives
and two regrlars-Nye and Stevens of
Minnesota-vcted with the Democrats
in favor of the bill. and one Democrat
--tranclS OF Ohio--voted against II.
The stand-pat Republicans were
willing to stand for slight reduction
OF duties, but contepded that the DEM
ocratic bill went far beyond any revi-
sion justified by the tariff board re-
port.
1t is not unlikely the wool bill Will
go to the president in practically the
same form vetoed by him last session.
The duty on raw wool in that in
stance was increased by the confer
ence committee OF the two houses
from the original 20 to 30 per cent.
