Not Yet Settled.

The trouble between Master Mechan-
ic oPratt and the fremen of 1.-The Tue
son division of the Southern Pacific,
promises to develop some very interest
B. of L. F. and the non-union men of
that division, waited upon Mr.. Pratt
at his headquarters in Tucson and re-
quested him to modify his order to the
firemen on that division. He fatty re-
fused to do 80 and the committee left q
little down-hearted but none the less
determined to have the order issued
by Mr.. Pratt recalled. The joint COM
mittee left on the frststratn for Los
Maitland he accompanied them
to Sacramento, Calf, where
they will confer with J. 81. Small,
superintendent of motive power, with
view to prevailing upon him to mo-
dify the order issued by Pratt. In
case of q failure to have their demands
recognized by this official they will
proceed to the main Offices at San
Francisco and there appeal to the gen.
eral officers of the road. The portion
of the order taken exception to by the
flremen reads BIS follows: "You must
report to the roundhouse foreman who
will assign you to an engine to clean all
that portion contained in the cab. It
matters not whether this engine is the
one brought in. On finishing or before
leaving the roundhouse, you
must again report to the
foreman, who will inspect
your work" The firemen propose to
make hard fight to have these para
graphs stricken out and the order re-
vised generally. They look upon it as
an imposition on the part of Mr.. Pratt.
They contend that the foreman re-
serves the right to make them clean an
engine a half dozen times the same
day il he so desires. It would be
question between the fireman, who
thinks he has an engine clean, and the
brennan whether the engine is clean
or not, with the right reserved by the
foreman to make the fireman do the
work over again without receiving any
compensation for it. This trouble has
developed great deal of interest and
there are those who believe that the
firemen will go out on a strike before
they will submit to such an apparently
unreasonable demand on the part of
Mr.. Pratt. A few of the firemen on
that division have already resigned
and ii the joint committee fail in their
efforts to have the order modified, it is
safe to say that there will be many
more designations sent TO the officious
master mechanic.

Needs More Fixing.

The mountain climber of the E. P. &
N. E. is again in the repair shop on
this end of the line. Some time ago q
representative of the Baldwin works
was sent here to discover If possible
the reason why the engine was not
doing the work properly. The climber
was placed in the back shop and few
improvements made on her and she
went north gagged for q irty-degree
curve, accompanied by N. w. Roth,
Bald wins agent. She gave no better
satisfaction th an before and Mr.. Roth
telegraphed the Baldwin people that
in his estimation the curves were
much greater than thirty degrees.
The Baldwin people at once sent a civil
engineer here by the name OF G. +.
Rettew, and it is rumored that most
of the curves were found to be great
deal over thirty degrees. The engine
is now in the shops here and an effort
will be made to get her in shape to dc
the work. 1t is thought she will be
ready to go to the front Monday for
another trial.

Should be Abandoned.

A Santa Fe employe was approached
today and questioned regarding the
rush of business on that line and he
said: ''Yes, the Santa Fe is booming
in all departments. 1 have been q
close observer of the rules and re-
gulstions of the various roads leading
into Ell Paso," he continued, land one
of the many things which puzzle me
is why the Santa Fe makes San Mar
gineers. The conductors go straight
through. and why not the engineers
they leave here at $50 in
the morning and would arrive at
Albuquerque at $50 in the evening if
allowed to go through, and that would
leave them on their engines only some
thing like nine hours aud 1 do not
think any of the engineers would COM
plain at that. The way it is conducted
at present an engineer runs one week
between San Marcial and Albuquer-
que and the next week between San
Marcial and Ell Paso. The run this
way is not so bad, but the Albuquer-
que end of it is very unplea-.
SAINT. They arrive there ct
$50 p. M. and returning leave there at
fords the engineer but very little rest
after he has completed his work on
that end of the line. We're they given
the opportunity of running straight
through, they could have thirty hours
rest on that end before they would be
called upon to return. At present rest
comes in very small doses
and I cannot see why it would not
prove benefit to the company as we'll
as the men to establish the rule which
have suggested"

Public School Notes.
HIGH SCHOOL


The work of the public schools of
the city arc progressing.nicely nearly
all the rooms are crowded fand many
pupils cannot be accommodated with
seats.
The high school has a greater en-
rollment than ever before. The ex-
aminations for the quarter ending Oct.
% have been completed and the re-
ports sent to parents. The examina-
tions show very good progress made
by majority OF the pupils. 1t Is
earnestly hoped that parents will care
fully examine reports of pupils and
whenever any deficiency appears in
any subject, cooperate with teachers
to stimulate pupils to greater
diligence.
The high School cadets are taking
considerable interest in their organizs-
tion and have made commendable pro-
gress in their drills. They have
ordered their uniforms and will re-
ceive them in two or three weeks.
The schools are in need of books and
1t is hopeful that the libraries will be
increased'through the efforts now bein g
made.

waiting to be admitted as soon as va
cancy occurs. However, despite the
overcrowded condition of the school
rooms, better work Is being accomplish
ed than ever before. This is principally
due to the ability of the principal and
her corps of assistants.
The children of the Franklin school
are turned loose at o'clock, but when
q reporter called there yesterday at
$3.50 about twenty youngsters were as
sembled in the principals room un-
dergoing punishment by being
"kept in" They did not appear to
mind it much and but few showed any
indications of bad tempers or that they
had been pou ting.
Miss Sexton explained that the chill
dren had to be punished occasionally
to remind them til at they were attend
ing school and must conform to the
rules. She says the spirit OF the lnstl-
tuition is better this year than he
has ever known it to be and that
the parents of the pupils attending the
school cooperate with her in maintain
ing dis cipline and that several OF them
have notified her to punish their child
rem whenever she deemed it advisable
aud they would not complain.
Compositions were read by pupils OF
the Franklin at 2 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and these exercises were
highly entertaining. .r.r
Miss Trumbull the new teacher OF
vocal music in this school is meeting
with unusual success and her pupils
take deep interest in their work.
MESA SCHOOL.
This year every vacant seat in the
Mesa school is taken and many appli-
cants for admission have been turned
away with little prospect of there be-
ing room for them this year.
Miss Ethel Shelton taught Friday as
a substitute for Miss Dix. who
was unable to attend to her duties
on account of injuries received by
falling from her bicycle. Her ankle
was severely sprained by the fall and
she could not leave her room Friday.
1t is however, believed that she will
fully recovered by Monday and then
he.ablesto resume her duties.
The teachers in this school are Mrs.
Bailey, principal; Mise Lyons Miss Stan
ton Miss Dix and Miss Fitzpatrick. Each
is doing excellent work in her respec-
tive grade and the pupils are ad
vancing steadily.
At the beginning of the session an
other school room was provided for
this building by utilizing a small room
which had during previous years been
used as q cloak room. 1t is now Occu-
pied by Mrs. Bailey and the fifth
grade pupils.

THE INMAN CASE.
The Defendant Testified In His Own
Beha1f

In the case of the state against F. A.
Inman, Mr.. Deter was kept on the
stand last afternoon up to the time OF
adjournment and was recalled this
morning for a short time. After he
was excused Mr.. Howard was recalled
for few minutes, then Mr.. Brown
was put on the stand for about an
hour.
At eleven O'Clock Inman himself was
put on the stand. The direct examina-
ton of the prisoner was in substance
about the same as heretofore stated ex-
cept that he said it was understood
that he Was to spend money for boost
ing up the trade, and the reason that
he hadn't charged up to expense more
than he did, when it was within his
power to do so, was because he was in
measure partner of the concern
and he thought that as there was COM
petition in town he could spend that
money and charge it up to himself,
when the time came for reckoning the
profits of the business.
He said he didn't think he was to be
arrested when he came back from Ari-
IONA, nor did he think so until he was
refused the privilege of seeing his
friends to try and raise the amount OF
the shortage. He related as an instance
of his use of money the circumstances
went there to establish an agency. He
said that he charged up only about fif-
ty dollars for the expenses of the trip
when they went over one hundred, and
he could have easily put down the
whole amount. He said that he was in
San Antonio for six days and that any
one who knew the rim of the trade
which he had to talk to would say that
it would take more than fifty dollars
for trip of six days.
The direct examination of Inman
was continued until noon, when the
court took recess for dinner until
l 80 p. m, when District Attorney
Dean will take up the cross examiua-
ton.
At 1:3O P. M. the court resumed the
trial and the prisoner was put on the
stand for cross examination, which
lasted for an hour. Then Prosecuting
Attorney Dean began his speech to the
ury. AS soon as Mr.. Dean finished his
ong talk Attorney Good for the de-
ence began to argue his side of the case
and was still arguing at the time our
report closed.
The case will likely be finished this
afternoon and given to the jury.

WEIGH All Right.

A railroadman who arrived yester-
day from the lower country says that
J. G. WEIGH will receive the full
strength of the railroad vote and more
than his share of the valley vote.
s'The past few days have worked
wonders for Welch,' he said, land 1
sincerely believe that he will be elect
ed to the legislature by large ma
iority. He has many friends in the
railway service and they are doing
their best for him. He has proved
himself man particularly fitted for
legislative work and. having the ad-
vantage over his opponent of one term,
he will be supported by the democrats
for this reason AS for myself, ]
think Mr.. WEIGH is better qualified in
every respect than his opponent aud
that he will give the people of this dis
trict better service in the halls of the
Legislature"

The Spectator.

This city is at a decided disadvant-
age because of its geographical loca-
ton when it's police undertake to stamp
out the hobo nuisance. Whenever the
officers inaugurate a crusade against
the tramps they Immediately hur--
set foot on the other shore.
They remain in Juarez until the
vigilance of the police has subsidized
and the fockn back again to Ell Paso.
Only short time ago the newspapers
urged the city to adopt stringent
measures to drive Migrants from the
corporate limits. The next day the
entire herd had disappeared
as if by magic. Their disappearance
was fully explained when Mexican
paper complained few days later that
Juarez was overrun with American
vsgsbonds, who had been expelled by
the Ell Paso police. Since then the
tramps have come back to Ell Paso and
are now as numerous as ever.
Several years ago the now famous
jockey, Tod Sloan, was employed at q
moderate salary by horseman named
Cherry and during two seasons he was
on the southern circuit with Cherry g
horses and wintered at Memphis, Tenn
Sloan had but little if any reputa
tion for riding winning mounts at that
time and his employer was not highly
elated over the performances of the
little jockey. One day they had a dis
pute about some trivial matter and
Cherry seized a horse whip and sd-
ministered a good thrashing to the
youth, who has since become the
idol of the "crowned heads ''of Europe.
Sloan was furious and immediately
quit his job. He was not long in find
ing another and his success dates from
that day when in high dudgeon he quit
the employ of Cherry.

CONFEDERATE MONEY
Used to SwlndIe Ignorant Mexicans

An Ell Paso street merchant reports
that many ignorant Mexicans have re-
Gently been victimized by swindlers,
who gave them worthless confederate
money in exchange for the currency of

Among others he says q woman came

q close inspection revealed the fact
that the money had been issued in war
times by the southern confederacy.
He asked the woman if that was all

that it was. When he explained to her
that it was worthless she began crying

departed without the shoes.
