SALE OF new MEXICO
CENTRAL WATCHED
CONGRESSMAN FERGUSON WILL DEMAND
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF ANY
ALLEGED WRONG DOING IN SALE OF
CENTRAL.

Washington, June 17.-Alleging
conspiracy between the Santa Ft
Railway company and the Phelps
Dodge company, owners of the f
Paso 4 Southwestern, and probably
the Rock Island lines, Congressman
H. B. Ferguson, of New Mexico has
interviewed the department of JUS
tice and the interstate commerce
commission, with view to having
them investigate the reported plan of
the Santa Fe railway to buy the New
Mexico Central railroad, now in the
hands of receiver and put the road
out of commission
The New Mexico Central is to be
sold to satisfy debts in July or Au-
gust, and Congressman Ferguson, it
is said, has learned that the Santa
Fe system would be probably the only
bidder at the sale, this being fore
shadowed by letter recently pub
lished at Santa Fe. n NJ, purporting
to have been written by attorneys at
the alleged request of an official of
the Santa Fe, inquiring if the sale
could be made so as to permit the pur-
chaser to tear up the rails of the
New Mexico Central. However. at
torneys hold that such a result would
be absolutely impossible under the
Sherman antitrust law.
Congressman Ferguson insists that
the information which he has at hand
Is sufficient to warrant his demand
ing a complete investigation of the
matter by the government at Wash
lngton, and he intends to press for an
inquiry.
