12 HOURS FROM EL PASO
la compliance with the authority
granted them by an act of the legiela
cure, passed at the recent epeoial sea
siou, the railroad commission will give
an open hearing to the complaints of
the railway employes of Texas against
the practice of running double header
trains. The representatives of the Tail
ways will also be beard at the same
time, and the commission will use the
testimony of both sides of the question
as a basis for determining whether the
practice shall be prohibited by them
The law passed by the legislature on
this subject is of much interest to rail-
way men and railway employes
throughout the cmntrj, inasmuch as a
united effort is to be made by railway
trainmen to secure similar legislation
in the several other states.
At the request of several railroad
men who were discussing the double-
header at the 3 P depot yesterday, the
TlMBS reproduces the full text of the
double-header hill. Here it is:
Section 1. When an unreasonable
degree of hazard results to its employes
it is hereby declared to be an abuse of
it* franchise and privileges for any rail-
road company or receiver operating a
line of railroad in this state to run or
operate more than one working loco-
motive at the same time in propelling
or moving any one train of oars, except
in moving trains up steep grades, or
where the locomotive propelling the
same becomes temporarily disabled af-
ter leaving the terminal; and it shall be
the duty of the railroad commission to
investigate such abases and see the
same are corrected, regulated or pro-
hibited as hereinafter provided,
3eo 2 After such investigation,
should the railroad commission decide
to regulate or forbid the practice of
using more than one looomotive in the
operation of any train at the same time
on any railroad or part of railroad with-
in this state, then it shall be their daty
to make and record an order fully set-
ting forth their decision and clearly
designating the railroad or part of rail-
road on which such practice is forbid
den or regulated, or how regulated
Notice of said order shall be served
upon said railroad affected by it. Said
notice shall contain in full a copy of
said order, and shall be directed to the
sheriff, or any constable, in the county
where the general offices of such rail
road are located, and a copy of the same
shall be delivered by the officer execu-
ting the same to the president, or vice
president, or the general manager, or
any general officer of said railroad in
this state, residing in said county; and
said officer, executing said writ, shall
make his return on the original and de
liver the same with his return forth-
with to the commission
Seo. 3 It shall be the duty of such
railroad to obey said order, and any
railroad corporation or receiver who
shall, at any time after such notice shall
have been served for ten days, violate
the order of the commission, shall be
liable to the State of Texas for a pen-
alty of not less than $500 nor more than
$5,000 for each offense, and said penal
ties shall be recovered and suits there-
for shall be brought iu the name of the
State of Texas, in the proper court hav-
ing jurisdiction thereof, in Travis coun
ty. Texas, or in any county into or
throngh which such railroad may run,
by the attorney general or under his
direction, and such suit shall be sub-
ject to the provision of artiole 4577 of
the revised civil statutes;
Seo. 3. Employes of railway com-
panies:! employed by said companies
in the operation of trains within this
state propelled by two or more engines
shall not be held to assume the risk, if
any there he, incident to their employ-
ment, provided, they be injured while
engaged in operation of such trains;
and, provided further, that such injury
was occasioned by reason of the opera
tion of two or more engines on such
train instead of one.

Railroad Manage/A want the Data Changed
Two or Three Days.
It look* a* if the National Democratic
convention is going to interfere with
Kansas City’s Fourth of July excur-
sions, and western railroad officials
think a serious mistake was made by
the Democratic National committee iu
fixing the date for the Democratic Na
tional convention at Kansas City for
Jnly 4 A worse day for the convention,
they way, could not have been chosen, as
on that day the railroads are running
cheap excursions between all points
east of the Missouri river, and general-
ly all the available railroad equipment
is required for handling of this
business. Under the circumstances,
the railroad, and especially
those running direct to Kansas
City, fail to see how enough equipment
can be secured at that time for the
handling of the crowds that will want
to go to the convention. To give up the
regular 4tb of July holiday excursions
toac 'omuiodate the Democratic conven-
tion crowds, railway officials say,would
be poor policy. With the limited ac-
commodations the railroads will be able
to furuisn for the convention business,
they propose to make a higher rate for
that occasion than they would have
made otherwise. As the railroads have
other use for all their cars, there will
be no incentive for any road to out the
rate or grant special privileges to secure
an undue share of the business, and
consequently there will be no difficulty
in maintaining any rate ths railroads
may agree npon.
The local passenger association at
Kansas City will ask the committee to
change the date for the meeting of the
convention.

A Returneeri Traveler Gives HU Opinion of
WeHtern Mexico.
F. S. Weeks, of Milwaukee, Wiscon-
sin, was in the oity yesterday on his
way home from Hermosillo, Sonora.
Mr. Weeks has spent several months
in western Mexico, where he went in
the lumber interest. He states that
daring his trip through the Sierra
Madre mountains he found magnificent
forests which are unequalled in any
part of the country. Mr. Weeks states
the timber regions of the north are fast
being thinned oat and the time is not
far distant when there will be a big de
mand for Mexican lnrnber. The sea
port towns, he thinks, will do an im-
mense business iu this line, and as soon
as a road is bnilt throngh to the coast
it will give a great impetus to the lum-
ber industry
Mr. Weeks spent considerable time in
the Yaqui river district and said that
he fouud the Indians obliging and
friendly. He gives but little credence
to the rumors relative to the dangerous
and disturbed conditions of rnauy sec-
tions. He asserts that he was not me-
tested and traveled without apprehen
sion wherever he wanted to go. At
the same time the returned traveler ex-
plains that on some of the lonely and
isolate trails a person is
apt to enoonuter highwaymen and
robbers like in all new and sparsely
settled communities. According to
Mr. Week*’ idea the safest and most
satisfactory way to travel throngh un
known regions is to secure an Iudian or
Mexican guide who is perfectly familiar
with the country and is aoqnaiated
with every nook and corner of the trails.
According to Mr Weeks’ aocount some
of the best guides are irresponsible
under certain conditions; that is. where
yon engage thun yourself. On the other
hand if yon employ them through the
agency of the authorities or chief men
of the district, who hold the gnides res
posible for your safe keeping, then the
gnides from motives of self protection
will be very careful of your safety and
see that you come to no harm.
In speaking of the mining industry
Mr. Weeks expressed the opinion Sono-
ra was coming to the front as one of the
greatest mining sections of the Ameri-
can continent.
“1 know little of mining,” said Mr.
Weeks, “being myself in the lumber
business. The timber belts of the Sierra
Madres are what I paid special atten-
tion to while in Mexico. But I oonld
not help observe the many new mines
which are being opened up and the
great amount of American capital that
is being invested in the country. The
output of some of the gold mines in the
Mocteznma district is wonderfnl. Dur
ing my trip I saw perfect mountains of
iron and the surface croppings of vast
belts of copper ore that reach for many
miles. The mineral resources of the
country appear exhanstless. and the
only surprise to me is they are just now
beginning to be developed.”
