Rolling stock on both roads is being olled and strength- ened and busy superintendents are get- ting ready to shave every possible mon- -ute from the present running time of the through trains. The shaving will begin as soon as the rain ceases and the road- beds harden. It will continue until one road has demonstrated its speed superi- ority. & At the present time both the Rock Island and the Santa Fe carry the Chi- cago mail. Until two years ago the Santa Fe did all of the business, but when the Rock Island put 6n the Golden State Lim- | ited wiwn a fast schedule through from Chicago to Los Angeles, it was given a portion of the ‘mail to carry. The con- tract was not so valuable then as now, and the Banta Fe representatives made no serious resistance to the action of the Government. This year, however, the maill business from Chicago to Los" Angeles and the southland has tremendously increased. It is now worth many dollars profit to the railroad company.whicu can handle it exclusively. The Santa Fe officlals at Chicago, say local men, saw the malls grow in value, and their desire to again carry all of it became acute. With this idea in mind they have been sending out qulet orders to have the roadbed strengthened as soon as the season permits, and to get the rolling stock in the best possible shape. Wise heads then began work figuring where schedules could be cut and valu- able time saved. The Rock Island officlals have been moved by the same idea that stirred the heads of the Santa Fe, and they, too, have Issued orders to get everything in shape for speed as soon as the wet weather ceases. The Rock Island, how- ever, is handicapped by the fact that it runs only part of the way on its own tracks. It uses the tracks of the Soutn- ern Pacific from El Paso to Los Angeles. ——e—— Martin J.

The offices of the Continental Life In- surance and Investment Company are in the James Fleod building. The executive offices are in that building. Tyree is not occupying his office, being engaged in de- fending himself in ‘proceedings at Salt Lake City that have been already men- tioned. V. T. McGillicuddy is the vice president. George Ames is the secretary of the Western Securities Company. These two officlals occupy adjoining offices. Into these offices the sound of bat- tling over Hiram Tyree has come. The | struggle has also made some stir in the office of Emil Pohll, attorney for the Continental Life Insurance Company, who is across the hall from the other officers. The strugele hall taken on already a more or less acute stage.

McGee Fatally Shoots Wife’'s White Lover and Wounds Woman Slightly SAYS HE WAS WRONGED After Committing Crime the Husband Surrenders Him- self and Admits Deed His infatuation for the colored wife of Clark McGee, a mulatto, will cost John Walsh, a white. laborer, his life. McGee entered the house where the white man and his colored inamorata were living last night and shot Walsh through the abdomen. Then he fired at his recreant spouse, infliéting a slight wound. Leaving the scene of the shooting, 2788 Filbert street, he rode down to the Hall of Jus- tice and gave himself up. Walsh was hurried to the Central Emer- gency Hospital, where his wound was dressed by Dr. Tillman. The bullet pene- trated one of the lungs and his death is only a matter of hours. The woman re- ceived only a slight flesh wound In the shoulder. McGee admits doing the shooting. “Of course, I shot him. What business had a White man with my wife? I went out there to shoot him.” The woman declares that her husband is a loafer and that he has been living on her earnings as a laundress for over a year. McGee Is a dishonorably discharged soldier and has served a sentence at Al- catraz for attempting to kill an army of- ficer. Two weeks ago he was in Judge Cabaniss’ court charged with having beat- en his wife, and was ordered by the court to keep away trom her. ADMITS BEATING WIFE. “Of course, I beat her,” says McGee. “I knew that she was going with this fellow ‘Walsh, and when I told her to put him out of the house she refused. Then I beat her, of course.” Despite the order of Judge Cabaniss, McGee went to the house where the couple were staying with the avowed in- tention of shooting the white man. He opened the door and walked up the stalre Just as Walsh was leaving his room. and fired at the white man. Waish fell screaming to the floor. Mrs. McGee rushed out of her room. As she came through the doorway the husband fired point blank at her. She dropped, more frightened than hurty, The mulatto looked quietly at the pair for a while, his venigeance sated. Then he calmly put away the weapon and walked out of the house. He went directly to the Hall of Justice and surrendered himself at the Central police station. “I have shot my wife and a white man who was going with her,” he announced. The mulatto was taken into custody and Detective Bell was sent with him to the house. In' the meantime Walsh had been removed to the Central Emer- gency Hospital and the woman was taken into custody by the North End police. MAKES DYING STATEMENT. When Bell arrivéd at the house he found no one there so took his man to the Central Hospital. Walsh realized that he was in a bad way and asked to be allowed to make a dying statement. In the presence of Assistant District Mc- Carthy he made the following: +I, James Walsh, know that I am to die. T was shot by a man named McGee. I would know him if I saw him again. I had not a word with him. He shot me while I was gaing with a glass in my hand for a glass of water. That is the man (pointing to McGee). He shot me.” McGee looked quietly at his dying vic- tim at the hospital. He expressed no re- gret for the deed. ‘I had a right to shoot him,” he 'said. “He had no right to go with my wife. He is white faced and the white face and the black ain’t got no business togzether, nohow.” McGee was taken to the City Prison, where he is being held on the detinue book pending a change in Walsh’s condition. The wife is held as a witness. Walsh is a laborer in the employ of the Fulton Tron Works. Pl — ] ADVERTISEMENTS.

During the inquiry the Mayor became angry at the tactics used by Hiester, who continually interrupted the witnesses while giving their testimony. “I do not Uke the way you are acting,” said the Mayor to Hiester. “You are not acting like a‘ gentleman, and I will not have such conduct in my office.” Horton was represented by Attorney Maurice Asher and Hiester had Martin Stevens. ‘Fhe first witness was Miss Irene M. printing was made out, although Hiester himself had secured the contract from the County Clerk. Miss Phillips had signed an affidavit accusing the Auditor of having held up her demand until Hies- ter had agreed to pay Horton the $60. Miss Philllps admitted that she had signed the affidavit after having been In- formed of the details of the transactions between Hiester and Horton by Hiester himself. The witness said that Hiester teld - ber that Horton insisted on getting the $60 before paying her demand. Hies- ter stuck to his original story that Hor- ton had refused to audit the demand un- til he got what was due him. Horton flatly contradicted Hiester, say- ing that when Hiester called for the de- mand he, Horton, sald: “I am not going to hold up this demand, but I would like to get what is coming to me.” Horton was corroborated in this testi- mony by his stepdaughter, Miss L. Buck- ingham, who ‘s stenographer in his office. Chief Deputy Auditor Daniel Leary de- nied Hiester's allegation that he, Leary, had on Horton's order accompanied Hies- ter to the Treasurer’s office to witness the payment of demand and to com- pel payment of the $60. Leary said that be was standing in the Auditor's office offering to bet that Hiester would not pay Horton, when Hiester called him, Leary, out and pald over the 360 after he had cashed the demand. At the close of the inquiry Stevens ap- pealed to Horton to return the 30 to Miss Phillips, to whom he said it be- longed, but as Horton is of the opinion that the demand in Miss Phillips’ name is in reality Hiester's, Horton did not respond to the appeal. —_—————————— Death Caused by Apoplexy.
