 Ecke. $. H. Neater. captain of the Fl Paso police, and. w. A. Schultz, formerly of the Blaylock colony in Tamaulipas, were the three men who appeared before the committee when it convened with Senator Marcus A. Smith, democrat, Arizona, acting chairman.
 Veater told the committee the story of the devastation Of the five Mormon colonies in Chihuahua which resulted in their practical abandonment about the time American troops landed in Vera Cruz.
 Schultz who reminded the commit tee of his Americanhood by the state ment that his four sons were in the United States army during the war with Germany, gave corroboratlve tes-
 
 by Luis de Ia Rosa. who, others have testified. was a leading factor in the attempted execution of the plan of San Diego. He said that at one time he saw De la Rosa, then a captain in the Carranza army, drilling troops on the parade grounds at Victoria. capital of the state of Tamaulipas.

One day the Mexicans came to his house and shot him in the stomach because he hesi- tated when they demanded to know where he kept his money. His wife told them it was buried in a gasoline oil can, and she pointed out the place. When she returned to the house, Saw yer was dead. I appealed to Nafarette, asking him if he would permit me to join in a posse to run down his mur- derers. We don't need your assist ance,' was Nafarette's reply, who add ed, We are going to drive all of you Americans out of here"
 As an example of the indignities to which he said Americans were sub jected, Schultz told the committee of an incident in Victoria He said he was passing the barracks, in front of which group of soldiers was sitting.

 ACRE YIELD RECORD

A record cotton yield apparently has been made by Ernest A. LeitZel, Box 43. Route l, Glendale, judging from fig ures quoted by him in a, letter received by the Phoenix chamber of commerce yesterday. The chamber of commerce. which has two other high yields under consideration, announced that it was difficult to reach an exact calculation because of the consideration which must be given the lint and seed figures. LcitzefS standing, it announced, can not be determined until all figures are carefully compared.
 The text of Leitzel's letter follows:
 T imagine you are interested in large crop yields in the valley, so 1 will re- port mine.
 "On 3 4-5 acres I harvested six bales and S6 pounds of seed cotton, or. in other words, 2,S60 pounds per acre, which l sold for s2,4S7.52, or at S654.61 per acre (gross) and can still pick a little more. This is the largest yield around Glendale. Some tell me it is the largest in the valley. Do you know of a larger yield grown this year."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Senate and house conferees on railroad organiza- tlon legislation, after q deadlock for weeks over outstanding features of the Cummins and Esch bills, tonight saw d glimmer of light ahead. The joint com mittee of the two houses made marked progress at today's session through agreement of the senate members for elimination of the compulsory consoli- dation of railroads and establishment Of transportation board provisions from the Cummins measure.
 Several vexing differences. however. remain to be adjusted before the end of the month, when the railroad properties arc to be returned to private control ana operation. Chief of these are the Ia Dor and anti-Strike provisions of the senate measure. The agreement today, it was said. might make more possible the. way for further compromises.
 In eliminating the consolidation plan Of the Cummins bill, it was agreed that tie permbissive consolidation provi sions of the Esch bill would be retained ard strengthened Duties which the senate gave to the proposed transporta tion board, under the agreement, will be placed in the interstate commerce which will have two mem bers added to it's present strength.

ness. .I said good afternoon as po- litely as I could and continued on my way
 Ecl1e, who testified regarding the killing of his son, was contractor on the Northwestern railway which ex- tends from .El Paso into western Chi huahua- It was he who led the rescue party after a train load of passengers had been burned to death in the Cumbre tunnel in 1914. One of the Mexican leaders, said to have been MaXimo Castillo, had blocked one end Of the tunnel with burned freight train. Deceived by the absence of any guard at the northern end of the tun- nel, train bearing approximately laO passengers soon afterwards dashed into the tunnel, where it collided with the burning cars. How many Americans were on the train has never been fully determined and has been estimated removed they were unrecognizable.
 Accused Murderer Goes Free
 Eckes description of the relief work included the statement that four days elapsed before the heat in the tunnel had diminished enough to permit it's entry by the rescuers. And even then, Ecke said a pair of shoes was burned out every time we went in. The water soaked sponges we wore at our mouth barely lasted until we could get one body out. Maximo Castillo. accused of the wholesale murder, was tried in Fl Paso but released for want of evidence. The witness said he thought he was somewhere in Mexico. Martin Lopez, whose name also was connected with the massacre, never was captured by Americans.
 Ecke's story of the killing of his son caused him to betray his first sign of h sas old <>l~., for an instant in his recital. but again as firm when he intimated to Senator Smith that every man in the gang that attacked young Ecke had since ''been accounted for.
 It was not long after the Cumbre tunnel disaster that Karl Ecke, 17 years old. accompa nied by F.. l.. Bishop and two servants. a negro and Mexican. started into the Galeana district in an automobile. They were halted by a group of MeXicans, a few of whom had at one time worked for the boys father. The men were taken to nearby house where the decision to execute them was announced Bishop said to the leader, Why, you don't want to do that; that man. pointing to Ecke, is good for a ransom His answer was a shot through the heart
 Dragged to Death
 Ecke and tie negro leaped for the horses. tethered near by but they were too late. The lassos of the Mexicans fell over their heads and when their bodies were found they bore evidence Of having been dragged until life was gone. Ecke's neck was broken. The Mexican was not killed and it was from him the father learned the details of his sons death.
 What happcnesd to the Mexicans?- ed Senator Smoth.
 They were all accounted for was the reply
 Yes, but I mean by what authori- ties?"
 By the proper authorities. I believe" said the father. ..The VilliStas got four ot them. somebody else got another and then there were four left They have been accounted for too."
