Officials of the Missouri Pacific railroad consulted' with the members of the Btate Railway commission for several hours this J afternoon behind closed doors over the recommendations of the commission regard ing the repair of the railroad tracks. The result probably will be that the Missouri Pacific tracks will remain the same as at present until next spring, though new ties will be prut In at least until cold weather, with all haste poslble -with a scarcity of workmen. The ranroaa party consistea of Bailey Waggener, general solicitor; C. 8. Clarke, first vice preslednt; 8. M. Prior, general purchasing agent; E. A. Oould, general superintendent, and J. E. Stone, traffic passenger manager. The party came In a special train. At the conclusion of the conference Mr. Wagrener announced that the visit had been merely a social call, at which the recommendations' of the commissioners had been discussed. He said It was Impossible for the railroad to get the heavy steel track recommended by the commission at this time, though some of It could be secured by December. This, however, would be too late In the winter for It to be laid, and. therefore, the heavy track could not be laid before spring. Insofar as new ties are concerned Mr. Waggener said 40.009 were placed during the last month and 40,000 more would be laid during the next month. It Is understood the commission waa agree able to the request of the railroad men for delay. The commission has concluded It can better transact Its business behind closed doors when railroad men are present. By doing so It hopes It can give to the public the report of the meetings It desires the public to know. Supreme Court Adjonrns.
