FIGURES IN
BIG DEAL
Northern Pacific Buys Gil
more & Pittsburg Line
Short Route to Coast.

What Is regarded as one of the most
important railroad transfers in the his
tory of the Idaho country, particular
ly as 1t affects central Idaho, was
reported this week from st. Paul where
President Hannaford of the Northern
Pacific announced that the Gilmore &
Pittsburg line had been purchased by
the Northern Pacific.
The dispatch telling of the transfer
was sent out under date of November
IA at st. Paul as follows: THE pur-
chase of the Gilmore & Pittsburg rail-
road in Montana and Idaho was an
nounced today by President J. M. Han
naford of the Northern Pacific railway.
The road was built a short time ago
at a cost of more than $4,000, 900.
The Northern Pacific will not own the
entire capital stock, but enough to
control 1t.
ITO prevent this road from passing
into other hands. the Northern Pa
cific has obtained control" said Mr..
| Hannaford. '-While 1t will be man.
aged as an Independent company its
policy will be fixed by the Northern
Pacific. No extensions are contem-
plated"
The road runs between Armstead,
Mont on the Oregon Short Line. and
Gilmore, Idaho.
I, The purchase of the Gilmore and
Pittsburg will give the Northern Pa
, cifc when certain proposed extensions
are completed, the shortest line be-
tween the Twin Cities and the coast.
The acquisition of the Gilmore and
Pittsburg road by the Northern Pa
cific makes the plans of this road OF

Tacoma, now at Boston, to proceed to Tampico. The torpedo fleet now at Pensacola was notified to stand by for orders to proceed to Tampico.
 Naval officers eagerly transmitted the orders to the fleet. The feeling that the Washington government had determined to show the Huerta gov ernment it's fixed determination to insist on an apology and public salute pervaded official circles.
 Negotiations Proceed.
 It was learned authoritatively that while further investigation of the Tampico incident was being made there was a general feeling that the demand of Rear Admiral Mayo should be backed up. In the meantime, how ever. it was determined that negotia- tions With Huerta government through Charge O'Shaughnessy should pro- ceed In order to represent to General Huerta the inststence of the United States.
 Members of the cabinet were hope full that no further step would be re- quired to secure compliance with the American demand, but they privately admitted that the Washington gov- ernment was getting ready to enforce it's demand should 1t meet with re- sistance
 The mobilization of the fleet under such circumstances as occurred today imm ediately raised in official circles the question of whether the possible landing of marines at Tampico in sat- isfaction for the arrest of the marines last Thursday would be an act of war.
 Inasmuch as the United States has recognized no government in Mexico but regards the southern republic as in state of anarchy, it has long been realized here that unusual steps might be taken without using extensively aggressive measures.
 Lind Gives Information.
 John Lind, the presidents personal representative in Mexico who now is in Washington, is known to have held. for some time, the view that more drastic policy should be pursued by the United Stsr<es in dealing with Huerta He is understood to have told the president and Secretary Bryan that Huerta would delay and evade the issue just so long as the United States seemed disinclined to use force.
 This feeling has been growing in administration circles during the last month in particular. and President Wilson has shown in his talks with callers rigid firmness and fixed de- termination not to temporize with the Huerta government but to insist on whatever demands the United States might make.

Netherlands Sends Shin.

The Hague. Netherlands, April +. The Netherlands government today ordered the Dutch warship Kortenaer to proceed from Curacao to Tampico tp watch over Dutch interests there.
 No Ultimatum Issued.
 Officials said that while no ultimatum had been issued to the Huerta govern ment, the mobilization of the fleet at Tampico was intended to put the United States in position to enforce one should the immediate development make it necessary.

HEARING VERY BRIEF.
Illness of Engineer Benson Delays
 Clayton Wreck Inquiry.


 Because of the illness of Engineer F. A. Benson. which prevented him from being present at the inquiry which Supt. R. D. Fitzmaurice or dered as result of the wreck at Clayton crossing Saturday night, the hearing which was held in the Vest ern Division offices in Waterbury this morning was very brief. After the crew of the train had been Ques- toned the party left for Hartford, where MT. Benson will be interviewed at his bedside. After the inquiry, Supt. F'itzmaurice said there was no statement to make as yet, since he had not determined who was respon- sible for the accident.
 Those present at the inquiry were Engineer c. c. Elwell, for the public utilities commissions; Supt. R. D. Fitz- maurice of the Western Division, and w. J. Backes, superintendent of maintenance of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.

Barnes For Congress. (New York World.

As the leading republican of the twenty eighth district, why should not William Barnes Jr., run for con- gress? He has been the recognized republican boss of Albany county and has been honored with the chairman ship of the republican state commit tee. There is no better way for him to prove the difference between boss and leader than by seeking the nomination. If majority of the voters of Albany and Rensselaer, counties want him to represent them in the house, they will confirm his title and confound his political ene- mics. His election would give him a certificate of character for public dis play.
 Few political bosses have MT. Barnes ability. He is a practical poll itician with the added gift of brains. Very few political bosses are his equals in courage. He has not been afraid to stand publicly for the prin- ciples of his party when many other republican leaders were turning trim- mers. He has not been frightened or seduced into playing for the favor of the progressive element. He does not love them and their fads any more than they love him and his heresies.
 But a fair test of MT. Barnes cou- rage will be whether he will be will ing to face the chances of being de- feated. Heretofore he has held pow CT without holding office. As a candi- date for congress he must run in a district that was normally republican before the progressive split and in which the defection of nearly 5000 progressives in 1912 landed the dem ocratic candidate in first place by only 117 votes. Will fear of the pro- gressives keep him in the security of private life, where a boss is only boss?

FINANCIAL NEWS
STEEL ISSUES ARE
 UNDER PRESSURE. Canadian Pacific, Lehlgh and AmeTi- can Telephone Develop Strength.

Wall St., 10:45 A. M.-Steel was again under heavy pressure in the early stock market trading today. Large blocks were thrown over in rapid succession, but the stock was supported firmly at fifty-nine, repre- senting only a fractional decline. First changes otherwise were small and irregular. When it became ap- parent that Steel was being well pro- tected the list hardened. Canadian Pacific, Lehigh and American Tele- phone developed strength. Cotton Oil lost a point. Rock Island col laterals continued to decline, making another of the low records which have been of almost daily occurrence for some time. They fell three-quar- ters, to 32 1-4.
 Close-The market closed heavy. Supporting orders were distributed on the announcement that the Atlantic fleet had been ordered to Tampico and prices rallied one-haf to one point. Recoveries, however, were not fully held.

requires engineers to take this cross over at a rate of speed not greater than fifteen miles an hour.
 Speed, Essential Difference.
 A few minutes before the accident the first section of number 53 took the same crossover, under said speed rule, safety. The essential practical difference between a number 10 cross over and one of greater length is that of speed. A longer crossover may be taken at a higher rate of speed. All of the state witnesses agree that a number 10 crossover is perfectly safe. If taken at a rate of speed from fifteen to twenty-five miles an hour. The principal expert of the state, an ex-engineer of much pra ctical experi- ence, is of the opinion that the train would have "foated" over the cross over at the speed it was going, safely, if the engineer had not applied his reverse brake while taking it. This, he claims, made the train rigid, and it failed to respond to the curves.
 Claim Is Not Supported.
 Experts are agreed that it is not safe to take cny cl.ossover at a high rate of speed. 1scre is no evidence to support the states claim that the accident would not have occurred if a crossover of greater lengtE had boon in use. The most that can br said is that it would have been less likely to have occurred.
 We are unable to prove that a longer crossover would have carried the train safely. Authorities differ a to what crossover is most desirable under all circumstances. The whole question as to what crossover under all circumstances is the safest is one of judgment on which railroad men differ.
 In view of the foregoing facts we are of the opinion that a nolle pro- sequi should be entered, and with the courts approval we will make such disposition of the case.
 Judge Praises Counsel.
 In accepting the report Judge Futile said he had confidence in the integrity of the special counsel. Tn the course of the various pleadings he had known of what the state claimed and he was not surprised at the conclusions of the counsel. 'If you could not convict the accused" lie said, 1T do not know of any one who could. Therefore think your recom- mendation is a wise one. To have brought the case to trial under the conditions would have imposed great expense on the state. If you are ss tisfied with your inquiry of the con- ditions set forth that there is not evidence enough to convict the court is willing to accept that finding. In a trial 1t would be the duty of the state to prove the duty of the accused, the violation by the accused of that duty, and that negligence gross in character had taken place. It is this last phase which is difficult to prove. The report Is accepted and nolle prosse ordered entered"
