SUIT CALLED BACK
The Last HCt of The Chamber of
Commerce.

The Phoenix chamber of commerce
held its last meeting last night for a
special purpose, that of resembling enc
of the most important actions it ever
took. 1t resolved to withdraw the suit
brought before the interstate COM
merce commission more than a year
ago against the Maricopa & Phoenix
and Santa Fle, Prescott & Phoenix rail-
roads, in which it was alleged that the
defendant roads were violating the law
in discrimination against Phoenix
This action was taken at the instance
of the board of trade. After the ad-
journment of the chamber, a session OF
the directors ct the board Of trade was
held, at which many matters, mostly
Of a routine nature, were taken up.
The appointment by Carnival Commits
sioner Clark of a committee to solicit
funds for the carnival was approved,
and it was resolved to put the organi-
Zation OF the carnival wholly into the
hands of the commissioner and his
committee. Regarding a rumor on the
street yesterday afternoon that Walter
Talbot, commissioner of immigration,
had. appeared before the board CT SUI
pervisors and practically surren-
derad his office, Mr.. Talbot ex-
planned that nothing of the kind had
occurred. He went before the board
and stated that he would net present
any claim for his salary. He said that
he had not yet performed any official
service, had incurred no expense, and
would incur none or make any claim
for salary or appropriation until the
status of his office had been fully es-
tabHshed. This action was quite sat
isfactory to the directors Major
Evans moved, and the motion was
adopted, that the board proceed at
once to institute the suit talked OF, to
test the validity Of the commissioner of
law.
Committees were appointed to com
municate with the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe railroads regarding rates
for shipping products from the valley
The committee having in charge the
printing of the preliminary pamphlet,
reported the change that had been
order. Maj3r Evans complimented
The Republican upon the circumstance
that it had performed its work accord
ing to the specifications, and said that
whatever fault might have appeared
in the pamphlet in its original form,
could in no way be chargeable to the
office
Committees were appointed for va
rious other purposes, such as fitting
up the board of trade room, soliciting
etc.

THERE'S NOTHING IN IT.
Vice-President Kruttschnitt on the
Cutoff Story.

Salt Lake, Oct. 3.-Vice-President
julius Kruttschnitt Of the Southern
Pacific stated at Ogden yesterday that
the story to the effect that the COM
rany would build across the desert
from Wells to Salt Lake is all non
sense. 1t will be remembered that
the bold statement was made in this
city that it would be done. 1t was
added that a Southern Pacific official
at Wells had the blue print of the
line and that orders had been received
there to unload ties, rails and build
ing material at that point
These statements were repeated to
the vfce-president of the system, who
replied most emphatically that it was
not only mere talk, but utter non
sense. 1t is a very old story and is
repeated just SO often, but there is no
intention OF making any such m5ve
and the matter is not under discus
sion. Continuing, Mr.. Kruttschnitt
said that from the early days of con-.

Difficulties in the Case of New York
Citizens in Manila.


Albany, N. Y, Oct. 3-Secretary OF
State John T. McDonough returned to-
day from Washington, where he went
to secure data showing the location of
voters from this state now in the mil
itary service of the United States. He
learned from Secretary of War Root
that 1,400 men from New York enlist
ed under the last call for ten volun-
teer regiments for service in the Phil
ippines. The war department records
do not classify them in their respect
i've commands, but the secretary of
war set clerks Immediately at work to
do this, and as soon as they finish their
labors the state authorities will learn
the result.
So little time is available before
election that it will probably be i'm
possible to work out scheme for Sc
curing votes for the New York SOL
diers at Manila. but the registry lists
and nominations will be forwarded to
them as the law directs. In some cases
the secretary of state finds that it will
be almost impossible to secure local
party nominations prior to twenty days
before election. AT the navy depart
ment Mr.. McDonough found no regis
ter CT the New York sailor voters, and
the only aid that the officials coHid
give him was to furnish list Of the
ships and the stations they were on.

to the Southern Pacific official, he was
asked if it would not necessitate the
building of the Southern Pacific into
this city. but as to that he said it
would entirely depend upon the flu
ture, and there was no foretelling
what important changes might be oc-
casioned
In reply to the question, will the
Southern Pacific build into Salt Lake
from Ogden?' he replied: THAT is
something 1 can honestly say 1 do not
know. All such important moves as
the one suggested would be matters
for the president and directors to de-
tarmine''

Kruttschnitt said it was for the sole
purpose of revising the passenger
train schedules.
He added that the passenger traffic
was very heavy and the prospect for

that the change was needed.

THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR AGAIN.

Many interesting stories are getting into
print these days about the Rock Of
Gibraltar. Most people are familiar with
the appearance of this world-famed site
and it's mammoth fortress. This is due
in large part to the extensive advertising
done by The Prudential Insurance Com
pany of America, which uses a sketch of
the Rock in measuring the strength of
the Company.
The latest story is told in the New York
Journalist
1.-THE story which I reprinted, a few
weeks ago, from Life in which the
schoolboy located the Rock of Gibraltar
in Newark, New Jersey, and as the prop
erty of the Prudential Insurance COM
pany was recently paralleled in my own
experience. One Sunday afternoon 1 was
trying to amuse a juvenile visitor by
showing her photographs of travel. AS
we came to a big picture of the famous
rock she exclaimed delightedly:-
"sOhi I know what that is, it is Gibral-
tai. But she added, in a disappointed
tone, after examining the photograph:
Where is the building?
What building?' 1 asked.
why, the building that is in the
rock
by dint of patient questioning finally
discovered that she had been attracted
by some of the Prudentials advertising,
which represents the handsome house of
that Company on the face of the big
rock, and she fancied that a hole had
been excavated in the rock and the build
ing actually erected there. The Gibral-
tar idea is certainly a most effective one

went straight to the hearts of the people.
