 President Ripley. of the Atchison. when he Gearned of the strike of the main line operators, said:
 These men, having broke their con traat and left our employ. without cause and without notice, will not be re-employed.'
 This action was taken" he contin- ued. notwithstanding the fact that the company made contracts with the operators in the service of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe proper on July 1, and with those in service on the lines west of Albuquerque on November 15th last, under the terms of which they bound themselves, through their or ganization, to give the company thirty days notice of any dissatisfaction"

A FIGHT FOR A TOGA
The Baker, r-BurtOn Contest in
 Kansas
The Present Senator is Hopeful of Reelection But is by No Means Sure-Burtons Old Score of Mar row Defeat.

Washington, Dec. S-Senator I.ucfen Baker, of Kansas, admitted tonight that his chances of election were not so bright as he would like to have them, but expressed confidence in his ability to control a. majority of the party caucus, which will be held on January ?.
 The bitter fight going on in Kansas over the election of a United States senator is being watched with great interest by the party leaders at Wash ington- The contest at present is be- tween Senator Baker and J. K. Burton, of Abilene. Burton is a comparatively young man, and one of the most elo- quent orators in the state. He has shown his strength in the party on previous occasions.
 Six years ago he came within one vote of being elected United States sen ator after forty ballots, and it was only by a combination of all the anti-Burton people that he was finally defeated and Lucien Baker elected. Burton feels that Bakers nomination and election six years ago were the result of polit- ical manipulation not entirely fair to him. Baker has no love for Burton, who. he declares, has been a standing twelve years, and has made himself the butt of ridicule by his persistent can didacy.

ner satisfactory to the members of the organization. The real grievances Of the lnen on the Gulf system is given to me in d special from National Pres ident Dolphin, and is a protest against the elimination of twelve stations scheduled, and the proposed reduction in wages at nineteen other stations.
 ''TO avoid the strike, the committee agreed to accept the Santa Fe's rules, amended by providing for eight consec- utive hours rest in twenty-four, eX- cepting in cases of emergency. The clause depriving the men of a hearing when discharged for insubordination, was also to be eliminated. Another demand was that there was not to be any reduction in wages at any of the stations for the present. We will stand by the men on the Cuff and fight this battle to a finish"

THE RED SIGNAL OUT.
How the Santa Fe Operators Quit
 Work.

Wichita, Kas., Dec. S.-Chairman J. A. Newman, of the Santa Fe division of the Order of Railway Photographers including the entire Santa Fe system, issued the following order at 3:3O o'clock this afternoon, and a few min utes later he was informed that 1.3OO operators over the entire system had quit the key.
 TO all Agents and operators, Santa Fe: In accordance with the action of your general committee, and by the laws of this organization, on this date you will strike, cease work and there after refuse to perform any duty of any character whatever until the said strike is declared off by me personally, and the notice of the settlement of all your grievances acknowledged. Said notice must be vouched for by our To- cal representatives.
 You will turn your boards red for protection of life and property, and leave them in that position perma- nently, Carefully protect all company property in your care or possession and allow no person access thereto until you are properly checked and released from all responsibility by the com pdl4y 5 dCludI representative. l HIS uC- ton is made necessary to secure for you reasonable compensation and con- ditions of service.
 All train dispatchers. clerks and other employees are earnestly requested to give us their assistance"
 Referring to this order, Chairman Newman said: This action was Ia- len up at the suggestion of National President Dolphin, and only after it was evident that the company would not listen to our grievances. We were compelled to take this step to see that justice Is done to the members of our organization on the Gulf system, and as matter of protection to ourselves. If the Santa Fe company cut the wages and imposed other burdens upon opar- ators on that system, what is to pre- vent them from doing the same thing here? This is not altogether with the Gulf operators.
 My order caused over 1900 operators to strike. There is one thing I am glad of, and that is the fact that the men are a unit in the matter. I am receiving telegrams from al points endorsing my action. Just how long the strike will last is a matter hard for me to decide. Under no circumstances will we return to work until our griev- ances have been adjusted in d man.

He Worked Seven Years
 For Nothing
AN INNOCENT CONVICT
A Severe Sentence Inflicted Because He Had a Bad Name Was Found to be Unjust-A Clearing Up Of Reputation After Six Years-It Hung Upon Suit of Clothes.

Philadelphia, Dec. 9.-After serving seven years of a thirteen-year sentence in the Easton penetentiary, James Par ker of Ellisdale, N. J., has been re- leased as innocent of a crime with which he was charged. Parker, who is not uwenty-seven years of age, ob- tained employment in Bordentown in 1891 and two years later was arrested on charge of stealing a watch. Later it was found that the watch had been mislaid and the charge was withdrawn and Parker was released. Parker then came to this state and resided in Bucks county. One night he remained at a hotel and in the morning donned a suit of clothing hanging in a room. mistaking it for his own. He was ar rested charged with larceny and at his trial a constable from New Jersey tes- tified that the defendant had been previously arrested for larceny.
 This initiated against him and he was sentenced to thirteen years i'm prisonment. Recently Parker wrote to friend protesting his innocence. The matter was investigated and it was found that the suit which Parker had left at the hotel was of a better quality than the one he had put on by mistake. Upon his presentation of these facts the beard of pardons unan- imously voted Parker his liberty

THE RUSSELL DIRECTORY
The Compilation of Local Politico-
 Scientific Work,

"A democratic directory of Maricopa
 county is being compiled. It was not at the beginning intended to be a di-
 rectory, but the fact that it can be
 made one, has lately been recognized. and the further fact that the canvassers
 for the next democratic county cen- tral committee will be saved a great
 deal of trouble. The compiler of the
 directory is F. S. Russell, president of the Young Mems Democratic club. It was begun at first with no thought of serving his party, which did not seem to be in immediate need of service, but to ascertain, weigh and gauge demo-
 cratic sentiment in this county with respect to the suitability of his ap- pointment to be clerk of the board of supervisors.
 A considerable part of the party is aspiring to the same position and when MT. Russell's more enterprising com petitors learned that he was engaged in the compilation of a work of scien- tific and political research, they emu lated him and disregarding the laws of copyright, they undertook to follow where he had led. One of them, with an inadequate idea of the scope of the work, set cut to do it alone. He nat urally began his investigations III Phoenix. About 4 o'clock in the after noon of the first day he found one democrat who had not been enrolled by MT. Russell. The next day he vis- ited the South Side and found seven democrats whose names will not ap- pear in RusseIIs Directory. This work must not be confounded with that ex- cellent but cratic periodical known as 'RusselPs Convention Dates"
 A little later MT. Russelrs emulator went to Wickenburg and MorristOwn and found six persons who had not been seen by MT. Russell or his agents. He subsequently went to Buckeye and in three days search in that populous neighborhood discover ed two democrats who had been over looked by the promoters of the Rus sells Directory. In the course of his journeyings throughout the county he has learned that the Russell Directory staff consists of MT. Russell and six other persons whose political and sci entific education has been acquired in the Young Mems Democratic club. The emulator announces that he will not get out a directory this year. The field, in his opinion, seems to be fully covered.

YAQUI FESTIVITIES
H, B. Patrick Will Open a Dance
 House in Phoenix.

Senor Don Herberto Patrick, who has lived in this valley for twenty-five years, when he was not in Mexico, Cal ifornia or elsewhere surveying rail- roads and corrals, is going 10 do his share toward entertaining the thou sands who will come to the carnival.
 MT. Patrick is an authority on Yaqui folk lore as well as tamales and tor tillas, and he hasn't lived among the Yaqyis for months at a time without learning how to tell good thing when he sees it. One of his favorite amusa- merts in Yaqui-land was to go to church, for be it known, that a good part of the Yaqui religion is dancing and their church worship consis,,s largely of dancing. They also have their war-dances, ste.
 Their dancing is entirely different from that of most wild tribes and great splendor and much noise is ad- ded to their demonstrations by tho paraphernalia in which they are ac- coutred. They adorn themselves in some vegetable product that grows in their native land, dried and woven in- to a rattlebox mechanism, which placed around their ankles, waists and arms makes an incessant racket during the dances. They usually dance barefooted and exhibit a. won derful amount of endurance and agil- ity.
 MT. Patrick some time ago discover ed Yaqui camp south of the river, has engaged their services and will present them as an attraction at the carnival. He guarantees to make them dance murderously, happily or religiously, according to the string he pulls and the time of the orchestra.

We anticipate no trouble in the operation of trains, as most of them are running on table schedule We have secured a great many new man, and new men are applying for posi- itios. It is our intention to lay off all men who are not absolutely necessary to the operation of the road"
