Heavy Taxes Paid by Texas
Railways—Ripley Buys a
Ranch for Secretary
{^Special In The Times.
^ New York, May 9.—A high note of
, optimism was sounded in tne finan-
. elal district today when the news f for
1 the first time became known that
jf railroads representing probably two-
j thirds of the total mileage of the
country have borrowed since the
first of the year the enormous
amount of $427,410,000.
‘ Add to this the $100,000,000 that
the Missouri Pacific system is arrang-
ing to borrow in order to finance ex-
nsive improvements, to say nothing
■ of lesser amounts many of the small-
er systems are preparing to negotiate,
and the grand total for the year will
exceed that of any similar period tot
more than a decade.
Money Free at Low Rate.
Well informed financiers said to-
day that within the next three
months or $so the total would prob-
ably be the greatest in the history of
railroad financing in America for any
Angle year.
The immediate cause of the move-
ent of such a vast sum of capital
to railroad securities is the unusual
undance or available capital, and
e low rate of Interest that has rul-
for the last three months. Here-
ifore in necessitous railroad sit-
tions the money needed has been
jund in Europe because of lower
rates that prevailed there.

Sorrowed by the roads thus far this
year has been obtained for the pur-
pose of refunding existing obliga-
tions that were taxing the transpor-
TEXAS CENTRAL MAT
CONNECT WITH ORIENT.
Special to The Times.
Austin, Tex., May 9.—Col. R. H.
i Baker, president of the Texas Cen-
j tral Railway company, will leave for
j New York next Monday or Tuesday.
| He may have some Interesting news
to give out upon his return relative !
to extensions of the Texas Central 1
westward and south from Waco, and
possibly branch to Abilene or
Sweetwater. And, too ,Col. Baker
may be interested in some prospect-
ive new mileage to be constructed In
Texas by anothr concern.
Information contained in the above
dispatch coupled with the visit of Col.
Chas. Hamilton, vice-president and
general manager of the Texas Central,
and his party to San Angelo last Fri-
day gives ground' for the belief that
the Texas Central contemplates push-
ing its line into the Sail Angelo coun-
try. A rich section of wonderful re-
sources and great wealth hitherto un-
touched by a railroad could be open- !
ed up by the Texas Central by an ex-
tension from Cross Plains to Sun An-
gelo via Winters and Robert Lee.
Col. Hamilton, before leaving in his
private car Friday afternoon, express-
ed himself as highly pleased with
San Angelo and remr.rked: "If l had I
known I was coming to a city like
this, I would havo come prepared to j
stay longer."
The mention that Col. Baker may
be interested in some prospective
new mileage to be constructed In
Texas by another concern is signifi-
cant. The new concern referred to
' is believed to be the Orient. Nick
j J. O'Brien, vice-president and gen-
eral manager of the Orient in Texas,
met Col. Hamilton in San Angelo
and conferred with him. Should the
Orient and Texas Central combine
their capital in pushing to completion
the main line of the former to tho
Bay of Topolomabpo and the San An-
gelo-Eldorado-Sonora-Dcl Rio exten- |
sion, and connect with the Orient at j
San Angelo both roads and this city
would be inestimably benefltted.
or other special items provided by
law.
By a most natural further investi-
gation of figures compiled by the
state comptroller It is seen Harria
county leads In railroad assessments,
the total footing $11,459,055 as the
taxable value of railroads in that
county, while the Barae county also
leads in land values, said land values
reaching $74,593,870 on the rolls. It
is also significant that the 45 coun-
ties in Texas which were without rail-
road facilities at the time informa-
tion for the last compilation made by
the comptroller was secured show tho
lowest average value of lands in
Texas. The list of 200 counties in
Texas that had railroads embraced in
the comptroller's compilation has
since been increased, with a corres-
ponding decrease of counties without
railroads. A belief is general that
when the next compilation / comes
from the comptroller there will be
less than 35 counties in Texas without
railroads. The building of the Santa
Fe Coleman cut-off to the nqrth, the
extension by the same line from
Lometa south and west, extensions of
the Orient and building of the Spur
branch line would bring this about.
The taxes paid by railroads under
the prevailing order of rate making,
are computed in the tariff approved
by constituted authorities. Taxes,
personal injury payments and other
expenses are and must be considered
in the determination of proper
freight charges. In more ways than
one raising revenue for public ex-
penses through a federal tariff and
raising money for public expenses
through railroad tariffs ore analagous.
In both instances somebody other
than the collectors of the cash pays
the ultimate toils.

CLAIM ORIENT RAILWAY
WENT TIIHOI'GH SHERWOOD.
Special In The Tints.
San Angelo, Tex., May 9.—An in-
teresting legal fight has been precipi-
tated in Tom Green county by the
filing here of the petition of Sher-
wood residents asking that the Orient
railway be compelled to build through
Sherwood, the county seat of Irion
county. Railway officials are inclined
to consider the proposition in a face-
tious light and state that the past ac-
tions of Sherwood voters will have
much to do with the final decision in
the case as to whether the Orient did
not at one time operate through
Sherwood.
According to the railway men the
city limits of Sherwood were at one
time extended two and one-half
miles so that {he Orient was operat-
ed through the town. When it was
determined, however, that the road
would not run any closer to the busi-
nes section of Sherwood than two
and one-half miles, Sherwood vot-
ers deliberately voted to disincor-
porate the town, railway men charge,
in order to tiring into play the pro-
vision in the state statues that any
railroad hereafter constructed with-
in three miles of a county seat town
must operate through it.
Sherwood is about two and one-
half miles from Mertzon, which Ir
becoming a factor for a part of the
trade that formerly went to Sher-
wood. Spring creek runs between
Sherwood and Mertzon. it Is said
that the Orient never made a sur-
vey any closer to Sherwood than the
present line runs, as at that time the
road ran through Sherwood.
HEAVY TAXES PAID
BY TEXAS RAILWAYS.
Spe. of to The Times.
Austin, Tex., May 9.—According to
figures obtained from the state
comptroller, land computed In acres
contribute 43.02 per cent of total
value of property rendered for taxes
In this state. Land computed in town
lots is valued for taxing purposes at
nearly one-half that total per cent,
or 21.20 per cent of total figures on
tax rolls. Railroads come next in or-
der. these paying 14.24 per cent of
total state ad valorem taxea. Goods
and merchandise Is a poor fourth,
contributing 3.70 per cent, while all
other taxable property of every kind
and description make up the re-
mainder.
It should not be understood that
the figures here given embrace taxes
secured by municipalities, counties,
improvement, school, levee, drainage
RIPLEY BUYS RANCH
FOR HIM SECRETARY.
Special to The Times.
Santa Barbara, May 9,—E. P. Rip-
ley, president of the Santa Fe rail-
way, who makes his winter home in
Santa Barbara, today bought a
seventy-acre ranch for $30,000, the
deal being prompted by a spirit of
philanthropy.
During the past few years, F. H.
Lingham of this city, who suffers
from ill-health, has been acting as
Mr. Ripley's private secretary. He
has given such efficient service that
the railroad president formed a
strong liking for him and he decided
to do what he could to help him in
his battle against the ravages of
disease.
"Open air work is what that
man needs,” was the way Mr. Rip-
ley sized up the situation, and to
make it possible for Lingham to live
out of door* he bought the ranch,
which Lingham and his family will
take chdrge of immediately.
The property is known as the Ed-
wards ranch, located in Hollister
avenue, just outside the city limits.
It is well equipped with walnut,
lemon and orange orchards, and
may. some day be the site for a
mansion to be built by Mr. Ripley.

sensation of the hour here. A dozezn
of William J. Burns’ 'detectives are
watching legislators, and various offi-
cials of prominence, including Gov-

sifting the charges. L. R. Andrews of
Ironton, George K. Cetone of Dayton
and Isaac E. Huffman of Oxford, all
state senators, are three of the men
with whom F. S. Harrison says he had
dealings. Harrison is one of the three

Special to The Times.
Torreon, Mex., May 9.—Oversub-
scription to the amount of $500,000
from every part of Mexico and es-
pecially from the Mexican capital to
the increased capital stock in the Tor-
reon soap works, "La Union, S. A.,”
furnishes convincing proof of the
confidence which is felt in Mexican
industrial securities and the future of
the country. Notwithstanding the
revolution was being raged with all its
greatest fury when the announcement
was made of the proposed increase
from $1,050,000 to $2,000,000 in the
capital stock of this fast growing con-
cern, subscriptions poured fn from
present stockholders to an amount
covering the whole entire issue of
$950,000 and demands were made for
more stock than the participants
could claim in the pro rata appor-
tionment required by the company's
charter. In addition to this private
parties throughout the country who
have not been stockholders subscribed
for stock in ail amounts, tho requests
ranging from ten shares to a value of
$150,000, the latter subscription com-
ing from a foreigner residing near
Torreon.
The largest portion of the stock
went to Mexico City financiers but
smaller portions were distributed
among the six former stockholders
throughout the republic. In some
cases a permlum of 10 per cent was
offered. One of the largest of these
owns 2600 shares while others own
as few as ten.
Under the old order the capital
slock consisted of 15,000 shares at
a par value of $70. After ail the new
capital stock has been paid in the old
shares will be converted Into their
proportions of the new 20,000 shares
at $100 each. The new subscriptions
are payable ss follows per share!
$10 dollars down and $30 on May 1,
July 1 and September 1. The new
stock will participate in the profits
and losses of this year and will have
an equal representation with the old
stock in the general meeting on Oc-
tober 1. Later the o!d shares will be
called in and exchanged for new
shares on that date, the old shares
then having no value except for ex-
change. I-ast year's distribution of
dividend account out of a net gain of
$276,672.38. as accepted at the gen-
eral meeting, was as follows: Five per
cent reserve fund $13,833.62: one per
cent to the comisnrto, $2706.72;
’0 per cent dividends on a capital of
$1,030,000, $210,000; to new account
$36,238.42.
f-a Union is contemplating import-
ant improvements and departures
which will bea.inounced opportunely.
The marveloue record which "La
Union" has made under the direction
of O. G. Neumann demonstrates the
possibilities of sound business prin-
ciples and prop :- management of In-
dustrial concerns in Mexico and Is an
announcement of the fact that lot
Union is here to stay with ^ daily
increasing business. It also shows
how an independent concern may
flourish while supplying a demand at
ite regular prices.
Regarding the supply of material
Manager Neumann declared that he
had a sufficient stock on hand for six
months to come and as he was pur-
chasing cotton e ied from Independent
farmers at the best prices ever paid
in the iwguna and as new visitations
were being opened up every year he
doubted not his ability to buy all the

STOPPED THE TRAIN
FROM CARRYING FEDERALS.
Special ta The Times.
Torreon, Mex., May 9.—The notion
of the conductors backed by the in-
dependent and voluntary petition of
eighteen Pullman passengers, sixteen
of whom were Mexicans and Two
Germans, served last Saturday to an-
nul orders previously given to carry
twenty-five federals who acted as n
convoy lor rifles and ammunition on
the passenger train which arrived
from Ciudad Porflrio Diaz. The train
left C. P. Diaz on time Friday ul’ter-
noon but on reaching Koala was
routed over the Central tracks via
llipolito and Sari Pedro to Torreon,
owing to the destruction of a number
of bridges between l’alla and Torreon
on the Mexican Intcrnutlrml. Tho
train departed from iteutu at 5:40 in
the morning with a detachment of
twenty-four troops under command
of Captain Lopez. These had been
dispatched Friday from Monterey ns
reinforcements for Torreon to pro-
tect this city from threatened attack
tomorrow, aeordlng to schedule. it
was not until their artval at llipolito
at 7 o’clock that the Pullman passen-
gers were cognizant of the personol
of the second-class travelers and a
protest was immediately raised load-
ed by a passenger from .Saltillo. The
matter was discussed freely between
the conductor, the commanding offi-
cer and the passengers and resulted
in the latter signing a telegram of
protest to Superintendent Bowans of
tho Central at Gomez Palaoio, setting
fortli the fact that they had paid
first-class passage and hud been as-
signed Pullman reservations and did
not consider it just that they should
be subjected to the danger of travel-
ing with troops on board who were
charged with the safe conduct of am-
munition and arms. The conductor
also telegraphed the superintendent
recalling the risks Involved. An im-
mediate reply was received from the
superintendent cancelling the order to
carry the aroops and the 309 rifles
and ammunition which were aboard
but Captain Lopez would’ not accept
this decision and the train was held
for two hours and thirty minutes
awaiting the proper authority from
General Trevino in Monterey. The
passengers reached here eight hours
late.
The burning of the bridges at Putt a,
which is one hundred and thirty-
eight kilometers north of Torreon,
was the work of the band* which re-
cently held Parras for a day. They
held tin the passenger train which left
here for Ciudad Porfirio Diaz Friday
night, relieved Conductor Pierce of
his pistol, damaged the railroad sta-
tion and then commanded the engi-
neer to get out of Palia with his train
ns soon as possible as they Intend' d
to burn all bridges to the south.

Special to The Times.
Kay, Arlz„ May 9.—What was ad-
vertised as a baseball game took
place here yesterday afternoon be-
tween the iiay nine and an aggrega-
tion from IVlnkleman. When* the
specified number of innings was over
Kay had sixteen runs and Winkle-
innn but one, which reminded muny
that the ratio of 16 to 1 can some-
times obtain, though to the disgust of
many.
The playing of Murdorf and Spald-
ing, the fielding of Joyce and Mc-
Neil-—all of Kay, were features.
Nettleton and Gray were the battery
for Ray, while nearly every man on
the Winklemari line-up tried a hand
at pitching.
Work has begun on a branch from
the Ray and Gila valley railroad to
the scene of operations of the Ray
Central Copper company. This con-
cern has a shaft down 400 feet, where
some good ore has been blocked out,
and is prospecting with two churn
drills.
William Umahling is at Hayden and
will probably locate there until the
reverberatory furnaces are installed.
While he is still in the employ of the
I'ananea Consolidated Copper com-
pany, at Cananea, he will lie theoret-
ically loaned to the Ray Consolidated
for supervising tip- furnace installa-
tions. In like manner, he is also to
be used by the Copper Queen at
Douglas. Reverberatory furnace In-
stallation is difficult, and Clmahling's
experience has rendered him highly
efficient.
The Kay Consolidated broke
