BOON TO THE HAxsEEDs
Gas Burner That Can Be Blown Out
Without Danger to Anyone.

A safety gas burner-one that will au-
tomatically and surely close itself in the
event OF extinguishment of the light
from any cause-has been invented by
Ardou Mitchell. 1t consists of an or
binary gas burner with a copper column
inserted, having a long opening, with a
valve operated upon by metallic spring
which, obeying the law of expansion by
heat and contraction by cold, opens In
proportion to the amount of heat
evolved. 1t naturally follows that the
faster the heat is absorbed by. an in
creased current Of cold gas 1T proper
tionately closes the valve, thereby reg
ulating the consumption and permitting
only sufficient gas to pass through the
tip to keep the normal flame. and effec-
tually closing the burner In the event of
the gas going out from any cause. The
gas. being superheated by contact with
the copper column before passing.

amount Of oxygen upon becoming ig-

THIRTY DAYS
.. -..f
Fits the Case of Witness
Chapman
INVESTIGATING SENATORS
CAN COMPEL WITNESSES TO
GIVE TESTIMONY
The Supreme Court Also Decides
Favorably to Claims of Settlers
on Railroad Lands

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The su-
preme court today refused the applica-
ton for a writ of certiorari and habeas
corpus by Elverton r. Chapman. the
broker who refused to testify In the SUI
gar speculation investigation as to
whether senators had speculated in
sugar stocks while the Wilson tariff bill
was before that body. Chief Justice Full
ler, who delivered the opinion, held that
the senate, under the constitutional
right to censure and expel members, had
a right to investigate any alleged i'm
proper conduct of senators. and could
compel witnesses to give testimony. The
sentence OF the supreme court of the
District of Columbia to 80 days in Jail
and 500 fine was affirmed and Chap
mans application for writs Of certiorari
and habeas corpus was denied.
In the case Of Charles w. Nordstrom,
under sentence of death in Washington
state, the court granted stay Of pro-
ceedings to await the decision Of Nord-
strom's appeal to this court from decis-
ion below, refusing him a writ Of habeas
corpus.
In the case of the United States VS..
Clarence r. Greathouse, Justice Harlan
rendered an opinion holding that the
Tucker act did not repeal the clause OF
former law giving six years additional
to claimants beyond the sea" to file
claims in the court of claims against the
government. Greathouse was consult
general to Japan and made claim for the
return of fees turned into the United
States treasury, to which It afterward
appeared he was entitled. His case
turned upon the fact Of whether the
case was barred by limitation.
The petition for a writ of certiorari in
the case of the Mutual Life Insurance
company VS.. Nellie Phinney was grant,
ed. The case comes from California and
involves claim for the payment Of an
insurance policy of 100000.
Justice Harlan handed down the opin-
ion of the court In the case of the North
ern Pacific VS.. Junius c. Sanders and
others, involving the validity of claims
Of land under the land laws within the
limits of the Northern Pacific land grant
subsequent to the government circular
of 1879 withdrawing the land prior to
the definite location of the line Of the
road. The decision was favorable to
the claims of settlers that claims made
under such laws are valid.

Arisona's Next Governor

Arizona's politicians believe that the

Unmitigated Dspravity

The coming Fiesta seems to have
opened the flood gates Of corruption, and
given occasion to the sons of Belial to
pour upon a defenseless community
strains of the vilest nastiness that ought
to sicken the vilest wretches that
abound in the slums. One of the latest
devices of the devil IS little ten page
tract which is being distributed on the
trains in utter violation of the law of
the land, and in violation of every law
of decency 1t is entitled Fiesta Souve-
mir Sporting Guide" and gives the
names and places Of fifty abandoned
women in Los Angeles. OF course. the
liquor business Is also advertised, and
these twin daughters of the devil, the
saloon and the brothel, are thus put be-
fore the travelling public, whose opinion
of the officers of the law who will allow
such vile stuff distributed, must be that
the officials are Of a very low type. Lam
guage fails to express the utter loathing
one must feel for the abandoned wretch
who would issue such pamphlet, and
for the printing office that would stoop
so low as to print such satanic abOmi-
nations. Let the officers of the law in
vestigate this for the sake of our city,

BROKERS' R'SCOMMISSIONS

on the Northern

CHICAGO, April 19.-Rumors Of conf
ing decentralization in passenger rates
were revived today by report that the
Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific were
paying the same commissions to ticket
brokers as are now being paid to regu-
larly appointed ticket agents. AS the
present rate of commissions is four times
the normal. its payment to the brokers
would furnish them with big margin
on which to cut rates.
There is much talk Of reductions In
regular one-way rates to the same ex-
tent as the cuts made by the brokers.
At general meeting of western passen-
ger representative of all roads to be
held here on Wednesday the subject Of
rates for the Christian Endeavor as
sociation at San Francisco next July
will be taken up. There is much impa-
tience to have the matter settled. as 1t
is feared decentralization will result from
leaving the matter open any longer. The
Southern Pacific has BEEN asked to state
its position In the matter.
The Denver and Rio Grande railroad
gave notice to all its connections today
that for the present it intends to observe
strictly the law signed by Gov. Adams OF
Colorado on Saturday, prohibiting the
roads charging for transportation Of bs-
cycles accompanied by passengers. The
Denver and Rio Grande will not check
any bicycles through the state, but will
deliver them unchecked to connections
at junction points.

A RAILROAD WRECK
KALISPEL, Mont April 19-The east

at a point about two miles east Of Bear

200 feet and the other about so feet. The
helper was in charge of Engineer Silas

mercial failures, 2,S74, with liabilities
of $25, 5,576, 1872, average only $3.50

ter for % years. The amount of de-
faulted liabilities is the smallest in
any quarter for five years, and in 15
years only six quarters have shown
smaller liabilities.
Manufacturing failures, 65l, with
liabilities of $9,43l ,194, average but
SI4.4S each, and trading, 2,164, with
liabilities of 81, ,S25 ,065, average but

average of liabilities than in any
previous year of which classified
records exist.
"The volume of legitimate business
continues little larger than In the

great increase of 27.4 per cent at New
York for the week might be supposed
to be due to speculative activity, In
