came to Salt Lake City. and for some
years was connected with the hardware
establishment OF George NJ. Scott & Co.
Still later he became interested in mining
at Park City and In time amassed a
large fortune. For some time past he
had been rated AS a. millionaire. In the

Many Letters to Come.

Accordingly the inquiry will be resumed

senate Office building, with Mulhall or

Mulhall letters have been read into the

WESTERN PACIFIC
LOSES ITS IDENTITY
Gould Road Running West
From Salt Lake Passes Un-
der Control of Rio Grande.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-The
Western Pacific railroad, outlet OF the
Gould roads TO the Pacific coast. is to
lose its identity as a managerial unit
and pass under the control Of the Den
yer & Rio Grande, thus establishing
through the Missouri Pacific, one man
agement for the Gould roads west OF
the Mississippi river, according to an
nouncement made here today.
Correspondence given out at the Of
fees Of the Western Pacific, together
with an official statement, shows that
E. T. Jefery, president of the road,
retires, becoming chairman Of the board
,of directors, and c.. H. Schlacks, vice
president. who has been IN immediate
control, resigns from his position and
also from the directorate of the Denver
s. Rio Grande. B. +. Bush, president
of the latter road, is to become presi-
dent of the Western Pacific, and il is
reported that he will have charge of all
the western Gould lines. Probably E.
l.. Brown, vice president and general
manager of the Denver & Rio Grande,
will be moved from Denver TO San
Francisco to run the Western Pacific,
and locally it is hoped that President
Bush S headquarters will be here.
Mr. Schlacks in his letter of resig-
nation TO the Rio Grande board Of di-
rectors gives as his reason the change
in operative management
Salt Lake City may soon be the head
quarters OF the two railroads. Connec-
ton OF the Western Pacific and Denver
3 Rio Grande under one head and man
aEement is apparently an effort to cut
down expenses and to facilitate the op
Grafton of the two railroads, The i'm
plovements under way on the Denver &
Rio Grande in Utah. and on the Western
Pacific in eastern Nevada make Salt
Lake City the actual center OF new
work With MI Brown as manager OF
the two roads. ii Is but reasonable to
expect that ne will establish headquar-
eis at a central point and that central
point undoubtedly Is Salt Lake City. IN
his work on the Denver Rio Grandc
he has found II convenient TO spend
much of his time at this end OF the
line. and, with the increased RESPONSE
billties 10 the west, he Will he In de-
maDd here much more OF the time.
AS the center OF the two lines, It
seems feasible that Salt Lake City
should be the base OF supplies. The new
shops that are To take the place of
those recently destroyed by fire here
might asily be made the central shops
of the two systems, and this would mean
an Increased payroll, and would mean
much to Utah and Salt Lake City.

Suffered From Nervousness.

Mr., McGregor had been suffering
for several months from a nervous
atfiiction. From Salt Lake City he
went 90 California. and some weeks
ago came here. this city being his
birthplace. Upon the advice of
physician Mr., McGregor had been
taking considerable outdoor exercise
Friday he appeared TO be in a cheerful
frame OF mind. and nothing was
thought Of the matter when he lef:
the home OF his sister for a walk. He
did not return. however. and a search
was instituted, which is still being
prosecuted 1t was at first feared
that he had met with a mental and
physical collapse. and after the
search was made for him through Fri
day and Saturday an advertisement
was inserted In the newspapers Of
