The total number of fatalities from fall

reported In the preceding bulletin. This
very likely is due to the increased use of
air brakes on freight trains, diminishing
the necessity for employes in charge of
such trains to ride on the tops of box

RC5SELL. IIARDIMTS SUCCESSOR.
Railroad Official Involved In n.
(uesstne; Contest.
The naming of the successor of Russell
Harding as vice president and general
manager of tho Missouri I'aclfic has in
volved local railroad officials in a
guessing contest. As a matter of fact,
the naming of Harding's suecessor would
be entirely a lucky guebs, as under the
present conditions it Is practically impos
sible to say who will get the position.
While In the employ of the Missouri Pa
cific there are several operating men who.
It is believed, could fulfill Mr. Harding's
duties in a highly creditable manner. It
is generally conceded that these men are
too valuable In their present capacities
to change, and for that reason Gould
will not promote, but will give the posi
tion to an official on another line.
Among the many named as possibilities
is an ollicial of the Mobile and Ohio who.
it is said, has proven himself capable of
managing the Missouri Pacific This of
ficial is a relative of Gould's right-hand
man, which is deemed unfortunate for his
interest, as Mr. Gould's policy of avoid
ing family connections in the personnel
of his employes is well known.
It is also stated that an operating offi
cial of the Texas and Pacific is also con
sidered, but he has proven hi, worth as
an official of the Texas Pacific to such a.
degree that it Is highly Improbable that
he will be changed.

SAY BILL WAS NOT I PASTOR RESCUES
LEGALLY PASSED! BANK CASHIER
AttoriK'.vs for Company Seek to
Compel Penitentiary Commis
sioners to Continue Furnisli
in; Convict Supplies.
The first legal tilt over tho ques
tion of whether an act of the Legisla
ture will annul an eisting contract,
as applied directly to the convict
labor law recently pissed in Illinois, was
on in Edwaidsvlllf yesterdaj Som" time
ago an attempt was miiie to secare an In
junction at Pontiac to restrain the Re
formatory Commissioners from ob-ervlng
the mandate of this act, but It failed.
Ten dajp ago. in the Randolph County
Circuit Court. Judge B. R. Burroughs, on
application of the Menard Manufietunng
Company, grunted a temporary injunc
tion restraining the Commissioners of the
Southern Illinois Penitential- at Chester
from violating their lontract with the con
cern. A motion to dissolve the injunction was
made through the Attorney General's of
iue, and came up for hearing In Edwards
viile jesterday before Judge Burroughs.
Representing the State was Attorney E.
S Smith of Springfield, lirst assistant to
Attorney Central H. J. Hamlin.
On the side of the. company were Judge
T A. Jloran. for thirteen and one-hait
ears presiding officer in the Circuit anil
Appellate courts of Chicago; Attorney
Ralph E. Sprigg of Chester, and Attorney
Edward Bolf of Chicago J. McClure of
Carlinville, one of the Penitentiary Com
missioners, and E. W. Abrarns of Chester,
secretary-treasurer of the Menard Manu
lacturing Company, were onlookers.
On the part of the applicant the conten
tion was that the act passed by the last
Legislature nullifies the practice as soon
as effective. The altornes for the com
pany averred that a co'ilract never had
been terminated by act of L?cisl iture,
that that power i)cs not exist and that
tlm Commissioners must continue to fur
nish supplies to the company as hereto
fore. They further contended that the oill
was not legally passed, not bearing the
signature of the Governor, Speaker of the
House, or President of the Senate.
The law over which the trouble a-oso
was passed at the last session of the Gen
eral Assembly and became effective the
first of this month. The contract under
which tho Commissioners had been fur
nishing hollow castings to the company
does not expire until July J, 1905.
