There was a meeting of the
campaign committee of the re-

cording to all reports they met
but did not get together.
From information that leaked
out after the meeting, it appears
that the element of the republi-

letting the old clique go ahead,
meanwhile saying nothing but

REFUGIO GRIEvES OVER
KILLING OF HIS SON.

Shattered I'M health, and pos

grief over the accidental death
of his 12-year-old som by his
own hand a year ago, Jose Ref
ugio was released by Judge
Wilkey yesterday on his own re-
cognizance when brought into
court on a charge of entering
the house of Rosario Medina, to
give opportunity for an inquiry
into his mental condition.
After the complaining witness
had testified that Refugio was
found in the house at a late
hour, but did not appear to be
taking anything, and left when
told to go, further proceedings
were brought to a sudden termi-
nation by the collapse of the de-
fendant in a faint.
He was partially revived and
laid on a cot I'M the court room,
but afterward suffered from
what appeared to be a convul-
sion. Judge Wilkey continued
the case, and released Refugio,
pending official inquiry into his
mental state.
Before his collapse, the defen-
dant had stated to the court that
he had no recollection of being
in the house as charged, but
claimed that he had retired feel

About a year ago, while teach
ing his little son to handle gun,
Refugio discharged the piece

the boy, and he has appeared to
be suffering from a gradual
breakdown since the accident.
He visited Judge Wilkey's
court once before, to tell Bailiff
Charlie Lopez that his wife
wanted to arrest him because he
desired to leave Nogales in
search of work. On that occa-
sion he collapsed as he did yes

SHORT LINE
ROADS CO BACK To

Washington, June 29.-About loo
short line railroads were turned back
to private management today by the
railroad administration. few hours
before congress passed legislation in
tended to prevent the REIMBURSEMENT
of any of them. Between 500 and
400 of the roads relinauished had
sought to remain under government
management. About 400 short lines
were retained as part of the national
system
Officials of the railroad adminis-
tration said they hoped the action
would not be regarded as defiance of
congress. Members of congress de-
clared it would have been possible
to delay sending the messages of re-
linquishment until tomorrow.
The attitude Of officials opposed
to keeping all short lines is that 1t
would constitute an unnecessary fl
nancial risk for the government since
many short roads were organized for
financial, or tactical, reasons, rather
than because they were needed as
carriers.
Announcement withheld.
Announcement of the action was
withheld by the railroad administra-
ton until less than an hour before the.
legislation which would have stopped
It was finally enacted. 1t was eX-
planned that the course was made nee
essary by the railroad acts provision
recurring the government to decide
before July which short lines would
be retained and which relinquished.
Railroad administration officials also
explained that since the legislation
was not taken up by either house of
congress until about O'Clock this al
ternoon, they could not know whether
1t would be enacted, The legislation,
therefore, is virtually nullified.
More than 1900 Of the roads turned
back to private Management were in

no issue existed. Many of those relin-
quished may be taken back later, 1t

Short lines represent about 10000
