FULTON ANSWERS
LANGWITH LETTER
Southern Pacific Agent Makes Fu-
ther Statement in Regard to
Dissolution of Central and
Southern Pacific Lines

Commenting upon certain phases
of letter submitted to the Cham
Der of Commerce recently by Judge
J. A. Langwith of this city, con-
cerning the much discussed SUBJ
ject of the dissolution Of the South
ern Pacific and Central Pacific rail-
roads, j. M. Fulton, assistant gen.
eral freight and passenger agent
for the Southern Pacific, with head
quarters at Reno, has submitted
the following communication for
publications.:
August 15, 1922.
Editor, The Silver State, VIM
nemucca, Nevada.
have read the views of Mr..
]. A. Langwith, as expressed in a
letter addressed to Judge Callahan,
which was published in your issue
of August 18th.
beg to say that there is no So
called back haul charge at this time,
nor has there been for many years
by any railroad line serving the
people of Nevada, and when there
was, am sure Mr.. Langwith knows,
it was under the authority of the
Government rate making bureau.
About the dissolution of the
Southern-Central Pacific Companies.
l was of the opinion (and am yeti
that the Chamber of Commerce had
given very careful thought to the
question before they passed the
resolution alluded to by Mr.. Lang
with.
The assertion was recently made
in Reno By Union Pacific repre-
sentatives that the people of Win
nemucca and other points in eastern
Nevada had passed resolutions with
out sufficient thought. / replied
that the members of the Chamber
| of Commerce of Winnemucca and
other points in eastern Nevada were
intelligent; that no one could carry
them of their feet; that any resolu-
ton they passed on any subject
would only be after it had had
their careful consideration.
In regard to Mr.. Langwith's dis
position of the land grant, have no
comments to make further than to
say that though large tracts of this
grant is leased for grazing pur-
poses, the rental is not sufficient
to pay the taxes assessed thereon.
Yours truly,
J. M. FULTON.

RETURN FROM
LONG VACATION AUTO TRIP

DR.. and Mrs. M. Z. Morrison and
son Bobbie returned home Tuesday
evening from los Angeles, where
the doctor attended a dental CON
vention held in that city from the
18th to the 21st of last month.
DR.. Morrison reports an attend
ance of approximately 1000 dentists
at this gathering, coming from all
over the United States, parts of
South and Central America, and
Canada. The convention he de-
clares to have been the greatest of
its kind ever held this side of the
Mississippi river. He reports some
wonderful exhibits from all over
the world and interesting and in
structive demonstrations of many
new dental Appliances and instru-
ments. He brought home some new
ideas to be used in his dental prac-
tice here.
That the whole trip and stop
overs at different places was a most
enjoyable affair the Morrisons de-
clare. They made the trip with no
car trouble outside of a few pune
lures, and one day made distance
of $40 miles between Paso Robles
and Los Angeles. They report the
road from Lovelock to this city to
be in much better condition now
than it was when traversed by them
about a month ago, the detours
along that route having been les
send by good many miles.
While gone they visited in Carson
City with the E. A. Ducker family
with relatives in Sacramento and
with friends and relatives in the
various other cities visited by them
including Los Angeles, Santa Cruz
and San Francisco.

BOB WILKINSON BADLY
HURT AT NC DERMITT

Chalmers Mccormick, who is
spending a few days in town from
McDermitt, reports serious ac-
cident having occurred to Bob Will
kinson of that place several days
ago. Wilkinson was in charge of
a crew of men, who were doing
construction work on the Victory
highway near Ely, when he was
kicked in the face and chest by a
horse, receiving injuries from which
he was unconscious for AZ hours.
One Of his brest bones was broken
and he received injuries to his
face and head which were feared
would be fatal for time. The in
jured man was taken to Ely, where
he received treatment and is now
so much recovered that he has again
assumed his duties in highway work.

TRAINS AGAIN RUN
ON SCHEDULE time
Trains on Western Pacific Started
Moving Last Night on Regular
Time Schedule; Crews at
Las Vegas Respond

Last night for the first time in
five days, trains began running over
the Western Pacific line through
this city, with the exception of one
local train which went through on
Monday. This change of affairs
came about as a result of a wire
sent to superintendent Beems Of
the eastern division at Elko, stating
that an agreement had been reached
yesterday.
Joe Grauvogel, Western Pacific
agent, received a flash from head
quarters last night, stating that
trains would be run on schedule
beginning with last night and that
supply trains would Immediately
be sent to Salt Lake City from Cali
fornia points where they had been
tied up. He was instructed in the
message to receive mail, baggage
and passengers for all points be-
tween Salt Lake City and San Fran
cisco. That transportation of fruit
trains is certain is announced by
railway officials. No. 3 went through
on time today for the first time in
several days and railroad affairs
in this city seem to have straight
ened out so far as transportation is
concerned and enginemen and train
men are conducting their runs as
before the commencement of the
trouble. The condition of the strik-
ing shopcraft remains unchanged.
That a similar Strengthening out
of conditions at Las Vegas, where
considerable disturbance has been
caused by strikers and guards within
the past few days, has taken place
is evidenced by the following taken
from this mornings Reno Journal:
The strike of the big four on the
Las Vegas division of the Union
Pacific system was called off to-
night after "a hours of negotiations
and conferences, according to a
statement from N. A. Williams,
general superintendent of the Los
Angeles-Salt Lake division.
Superintendent Williams immedi-
ately ordered two dead head'
trains out for the run to Yermo,
California, and similar number
for Calente, Nevada,
Crews of engineers, firemen con-
ductors and brakemen agreed to
respond to this and all other calls,
Mr.. Williams stated.
These crews will bring in pas
senger trains tomorrow from Yermo
and Calente, terminal division
points.
This breaks up the complete tie
up which was caused from the
night of August ~, resulting in
stopping the transcontinental traffic
of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Williams stated all necessary
men were ready to take the trains
at Cliente, and that the situation
was "clear" at Yermo for the run
to Los Angeles.
The first detachment of state
police ordered here because of rail-
road trouble arrived tonight, bring
ing machine guns, Thompson riot
guns, Springfield army rifles, auto
matte pistols and tear bombs.
Thirteen men comprised the first
detachment, and other detachments
were on the way from every part
of the state, according to Dan Re-
near, state police inspector, in
charge here.
The state police commissary de-
partment also is on the way
with provisions to feed themselves
and the entire city if necessary,
Renear stated.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
OF NORRIS ]. P|DGE
Young Man Thrown From Truck
Late Tuesday Evening Sue
cumbs a Few Hours Later
From Injury to Brain

On more tragedy which has
thrown shadow over this city oc-
CURED Tuesday evening when Nor
ris J. Pidge, on of the most popular
and well liked young men of Win
nemucca, fell from truck on which
he was riding, receiving injuries
which resulted in his death a few
hours later.
Pidge was riding on the truck,
which was being driven by Phil
Roberts, from the Southern Pa
cific depot to town, the two being
accompanied by Mateo Legarza and
Delbert Moore. When they reached
the alleyway leading from Third
street at the Nixon opera house,
Pidge in an attempt to play a
joke on the driver, attempted to
open the gas throttle and in trying
to dodge the drivers advances,
just as the car turned the corner,
was thrown to the curbing where
he struck on the back of his head.
Although somewhat dazed, he was
able to stand, and when offers to
take him home were made by the
other boys, stated that he must re-
turn to work. Seeing, however,
that he had sustained probable seri-
'ous injuries the boys took him to
his home at Fourth and Lay streets
and a physician called Immediately
Although he had received bad
bump on the head, it was not be-
lieved at that time that anything
serious would be the outcome and
evidences of fracture seemed to
be lacking. During the course of
the evening his condition became
more alarming and shortly before
midnight the physician was again
called, only to reach the bedside
after the injured man had passed
away. That he was rational and
felt no alarm for his condition up
until few minutes of his passing,
is stated by those in attendance.
An inquest was held yesterday
afternoon before Corner Jas. Ritchie
with r. w. Lewis, VIM. Houston,
and Chris Wolf as jurors. DIR. E.
d. Giroux, the attending physician,
Mrs. Ida Diehl, Phil Roberts, Mateo
Legarza and Delbert Moore giving
testimony. The jury returned a
verdict Of death resulting from a
fall from the truck causing a
probable fracture of the inner plate
of the skull, in accordance with the
statement given by DIR. Giroux.
Deceased was 26 years of age
and was born in California. He is
survived by wife, Mrs. Katherine
Pidge and step-son, Dawson Mac
Richie; also by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. P. N. Pidge of San Fran
cisco, and two brothers at that
place. His parents arrived here
last night.
The funeral will be held at the
Catholic church here tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock with Rev.
FIR. Hugo Meisekothen officiating.
lnterment will be in the local ceme-
tary. Funeral arrangements are
in care of Perry Carlson, under
taker.
Pail bearers will be Walter,

full charge of the city, concentrat-
ing its forces on the outside of the
Union Pacific system stockade here.
A check made today by Inspector
Renear showed slightly more than
200 workmen, ten women and four
children in the stockade. This was
the first census taken and was fifty
more than had been previously
stated.
In the first detachment there
were only one army truck and two
automobiles. Four or five extra
trucks are on the way. Conditions
here were quiet throughout the day.
The state police refused to state
what disposition would be made of
the Union Pacific guards.

Washington Correspondent Says
Eastern Senators Will Not See
Vests Need for Tariff on
the Lowly Cowhide

WASHINGTON, D. c., August
12.-Everybody in the United States
would like to know what the ma
tional House of Representatives will
do when it convenes Tuesday. The
question may be answered by tele-
graph before this letter is printed
in Nevada next week, but it is not
likely. There is nothing for the
House to do. 1t is believed here
that President Harding will come
up to the Capitol and address the
Representatives some time during
the week, but there is no line Of
action possible under the circum-
stances.
Republican Floor Leader Mondell
who is campaigning in Wyoming
for nomination to the Senate, to-
day decided to return to Washing
ton on the 18th. His Secretary here
who is an able and experienced
newspaper man and politician, ad-
vised the Wyoming Representative
that his return was unnecessary
but, because of the great promi-
nence of his position in Congress
absenting himself probably would
Offset any good work he might dc
at home.
President Harding has made nc
special request for attendance OF
House members. No notices have
been sent out from the floor leaders
office. Representatives are strag-
