ROAD AND ENGINEER
BOTH EXONERATED
C0RONER'S FINDING IN new HAVEN
WRECK IS THAT NEITHER were GUILTY
OF CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE CORONER
MAKES recommendations.

Bridgeport, Conn, July %. 3.--Neither
Engineer Doherty nor the New Haven
and Hartford railroad was guilty of
criminal negligence in connection with
the wreck at Stamford on June T.,
according to the finding of Coroner
Phelan here today. .t.-.
The finding is based on the death
of Ada Pearl Kelley of Chicago, one
of the six passengers killed in the
Pullman car Skylark, which was teles-
coped Her death was classed as "ac-
cidental."
The coroner urged that the 'one
year rule for engineers, (under which
the engineer serves one year on slow
trains before taking out fast trains),
does not give sufficient experience and
said the limit should be increased to
three years. The one year rule is
fixed by agreement with the Engin-
eers Union.
"The practice of allowing one high
speed train to follow another into
what is practically the same block
and to come within few feet of an
other on the same track is fool
hardy one," the coroner said, and
does rude violence to the public be-
lief that to ensure safety, trains while
are kept one block apart"
In reference to automatic train
stops, he said he was convinced that +,
there are automatic stops. speed con-
-rols and other safety devices in a
,air state of development and the New
Haven road should feel obliged to in
stall some such in "a proper places"

signed effective July 1st, wrote from
Colorado Springs that he would re-

to reconsider his resignation. j. w.
Corbett, of Mountainair, was also an
applicant, as was E. C. Caldwell, now
of this city but formerly assistant Sec

nerce. A. B. Renehan moved that
the matter of the selection of a sccre-
tary be left to committee of five to
be named by the president, the action
OF the committee to be ratified by the
chamber at its next meeting. This
was carried and President Dorman
will probably name the committee to-
cay.
The treasurers report showed a
balance of s146.S6 on hand and bills
amounting to SIS were ordered paid.

Sen. FALL DOES NOT
CONTINUE DISCUSSION

Washington, d. c., July 23-No fur
ther discussion of Mexican affairs
occurred today in the senate. Sen
ator Falls resolution for protection
of Americans, had gone to the calen-
dar and he did not attempt to renew
the request for action on it.
While official statements were lack
ing today as to what support President
Wilson would give to the project, a
partial canvass of the house and SEN
ate foreign affairs committee today
led those interested in the move TO
believe that the prohibition against
shipments of arms could be repealed
with little delay.
1t is understood to be the belief OF
administration officials that should free
expectation of arms be permitted to
all factions in Mexico the present sit
uation might adjust itself. The con
stitutionalists have repeatedly claimed
that lack of arms was the only delay
to quick victory
The repeal is proposed on the
ground that there is no recognized
government in Mexico and that when
the prohibition was enacted a regu-
larly constituted government, recoe-
nized officially by the United States,
was in existence.
Later today it developed that the
attitude of the administration toward
of arms to Mexico will be
to withhold executive permits frCm
both the Huerta and Carranza factions
and force them to gather munitions OF
war elsewhere.
Such permits are now necessary for
to whom consigned.

BIG RANCHES OF ARGENTINA
Vast Tracts Of Land Recovered From
Indians Supporting Great
Cattle Herds.

Washington.-"It is almost impos-
sible to conceive Of the enormous
growth of the stock industry Of Argen-
tina in the last quarter Of century,
said Ernest Maffei, a large cattleman
Of Buenoe Ayres. at the Shoreham. Il
believe II the laws of the two coun-
tries are favorable Argentina can sup
ply this country with q great quantity
Of beef. which would materially assist
In reducing the cost of meats 70 the
consumer.
Less than forty years ago the great
rich tracts OF grass land in Argentina
were practically unproductive. The
indians roamed the plains and general
settlement on the land was danger
ous and well nigh impossible. The
Indians, however, were subdued in
1878, and that date saw the inception
Of the estancias or ranches and the
systematic reclamation Of the land to
pave the way for an industry the mag
nitude of which today is stupendous.
The immensity of the cattle busi-
ness can be estimated from the ON
cial returns recently published, which
show that last year In the Argentine
there were 100000 cattle. 10000. 900
sheep and 100000 horses. The cattle
and horses are bred in the warmer
parts of the country to the north.
where alfalfa abounds. and the sheep
in the districts in the southern prov
inces.
Some Of the large ranches carry ~
many as 10000 head OF cattle and pro-
vide hunting grounds for many Eng
lishmen. The 'gaucho' is one Of the
most picturesque as we'll as useful fg-
ures on these ranches and forms the
counterpart Of his famous brother the
cowboy of North America. Life on q
ranch is far from unpleasant. and on
some of the big ranches under British
control evening dress for dinner 10 the
custom. The Argentine wool is Of high
grade and large part of It goes to
supply the home markets"
