Deuter was testifying as to CONVEX

elsewhere.

was asked.

vehemently but was overruled, and

ORIENT MUST WAIT.
Judge Pollock Unable to Tell Who
Owns the Road.

Kansas City, Oct. 31.-The question of
ownership of the Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient railway cannot be settled and the
reorganization of the company completed
until the conflicting claims of the bond
holders and the construction companies
engaged in finishing the road are straight
ened out. This decision was made today
by Judge John c. Pollock of the federal
court in Kansas City, Kansas. Judge
Pollock appointed Clifford Histed of Kan
City, Mo-, special examiner, to in
vestigate and submit proofs of the claims
of bondholders and construction COM
panies.
The Orient company went into the
hands of receivers in March, 1872 The
federal court appointed separate sets of
receivers for the company's properties in
Missouri and Kansas, in Texas and Okla
homa and in Mexico. In all eleven re-
ceivers have charge of the property.
About so 0rniles of the road is in process
of construction.
Judge Pollock last June began an eff
fort to settle claims against the road in
order that the property might be seld,
the company reorganized or the receiver
ship otherwise lifted.
Until Mr.. Histed has made his report
no further action will be taken, Judge
Pollock said.

general officials of the Atchison, To-

peka for the annual fall time card
meeting and reduced the running time
between Los Angeles and Chicago by
'21s hours, thereby meeting the sched-
ules of the Rock Island and the Salt
Lake lines. This will give the Califor-
mia Limited a complete east bound
schedule of 681A hours.
The speed war was started some time
ago when the Salt Lake-Union Pacific
Northwestern sliced 21a hours from
their schedules east bound and made
the cross-country time in 6S12 hours.
This was met by the Golden State Linn
tied of the Rock Island. Today the
Santa Fe made the same reduction.
