THE ENJOYING 0f
 TICKET SCALPERS
From Handling 6. A. B. En-
 Campment Tickets
4 Decision Fielding That a Ticket of That Kind in the Hands of the scalpers Is in Itself an Evi- dence of Fraud.

Washington, October 13.-A decision of sweeping importance to ticket scalp CTS and the railroad passenger busi- ness generally was delivered today by Justice Hagner of the equity court of the District of Columbia, who perma- nently enjoined thirty three local ticket brokers from selling Grand Army special excursion tickets issued by the Pennsylvania, Southern, Baltimore & Ohio. and Chesapeake and Ohio rail roads.
 The defense of the brokers was that they were pursuing 9 legally licensed brokerage business, and that the rail- roads in combining in the establish ment of a joint ticket agency here during the encsmpment for the Viseing 0: return tickets. etc, violated the Sherman antitrust law. The court held that the tickets sold by the reads on account of the grand army encamp- ment bore contracts signed by the purchasers in the presence of witnesses and were absolutely void when used by any other than the original purchaser.
 They distinctly read that any one ex- Cept the original purchasers attempt Ing to use them would be subject to prosecution for forgery. The contract signed by the original purchaser is ab- solute, according to the court, and any violation is a constituted fraud on which the suit at bar for an injunction was properly based. The court de- clared that the contention of the complaining roads was tenable.
 As to the claim that the roads vio- lated the antitrust law the court held that a joint ticket agency could not be considered in that light. as the agency had nothing to do with the fix ing Of rates. Further, the defendants had shown that they were violating the Law and could not press as a defense the violation of law by another party.

KID M'PARTLAHD
 SENT TO GRASS
An Awful Blow in the Pit of the
 Stomach Did It.

Buffalo. N. Y, October 1S.-Joe Cans, the lightweight champion. had no trouble in disposing of Kid Mcfarland before the International Club at Fort Erie, O--S5 tonight. Knocking the New YcTkCr out after two minutes and twenty y-five seconds fighting in the fifth round. The blow that did the business was a left hand hook to the pit of the stomach, the same blow with which Mcfarland has won many fights. Mcfarland writhed on the floor while the referee counted ten sec onds, but a few minutes later he fully recovered.
 Cans did not exert himself at any stage, though at times he showed flashes of his speed when the men came to close quarters. He made Mozart land do the fighting, ccntenting him self with blocking and looking for chance to land one decisive blow. He dropped Mae with straight right to the jaw in the third round, but the kid stayed through. Mcfarland did not land more than eight solid blows during the entire time of the bout, Cans smothering most of his leads be- fore they were fairly started. Mozart land virtually fought himself out in four rounds. Mcfarland was not in the best of condition, but Cans was in shape. Both weighed un- der 135 pounds

OFFER OF COAL LANDS.
A Chance for the Government to Go
 Into Coal Mining.

New York, October 13.-Another offer of coal lands has been made to Presi- dent Roosevelt to relieve a possible coal famine. Mrs. Josanna c. Samuels. formerly of Nashville Tenn, and Washington, D. C., but who has been in New York for several months organiz- ing a railroad and other projects, has written to President Roosevelt offering him tract of mining land in Ken lucky, to be mined by the government without compensation to the donor, during the continuance of the strike. Mrs. Samuels said to a reporter today:
 "I am making the offer simply be- cause the property is idle. It is nC ex- pense to me at the present time. and 7 would be at no loss if a quantity of the coal is mined. I do not ask one cent from the government or any favors. will leave the arrangements of all de- tails entirely to the president and let him do as he sees fit.''
 New York, October 13.-Charles Bary. a lawyer. formerly of Chicago. and whose office is given as the headquar- ters of a company claiming to control a large area of coal lands in Virginia. Tennessee and Kentucky, has written to President Roosevelt. offering the con- trol of these under any conditions the president may suggest. Mir. Barry says. however, that it will be necessary to furnish the means for the development of these coal fields, which hitherto have not been worked to any apprecia- ble extent

said he, 'Of our own people and let the rest of the world take care of itself"
 He compared the period of lSss ro 1887 under democratic rule with the subsequent republican successful rec Crd. If TO labor be the result of dem- ocratic rule" he asked. docs any man want to go back to the Wilson biIIg-'
 MCrriscn then told how a prominent sheep man Of today said there Is not a mortgage in the town of SnCwfiake. The republican party passed the Sher- man antitrust law; the republican ad- ministration is the only one which has tried to control trusts by means or that law. The republican party will find way to settle this problem. Past rec ords refute all democratic claims as the friend of labor. Now. that ncrty says, give us another chance and We will pass the measures required
 Democratic spellbinders think the people are simple minded. Democratic legislatures have enacted all the tax exemption laws in Arizona. Is it hon. orable for that party to attempt 10 re- peal such laws after inviting capital to the territory to accept the privileges offered through them? No direct men ton is made CT organized labor in the democratic platforms. The position of the democratic party in this campaign is similar to the dog which could run both ways and bark at both ends
 Wilson closed the debate and char 2Cterized MorriSOn's address as con- sisting of criticism and ridicule. but he made few attempts to dispose of Morrison's statement cf facts. The meeting between the two men has greatly encourage the republicans MCrrison's vigorous speech was liber- ally interspersed with applause. while Wilson's was received with cold si- lence.

OPERATORS WEAKEN
To the Exten of Asking for a Commis-
 sion to Adjust Things.

Washington, October 13.-By the au thority of J. P. Morgan, who, with his partner, Robert Bacon, and Secretary Root were in conference with President Roosevelt at the temporary White House tonight for an hour and half. a statement was presented in which the presidents of the coal carrying railroads and mine operators propose a commis- Sion of five persons to adjust the differ eaces and settle the coal strike in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania. The proposition is believed by the ad- ministration to be satisfactory to min CTS, as it covers the proposition made by President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers union with additional conditions which it is believed the min CTS will accept.
 J. P. Morgan came to Washington with his partner, MT. Bacon, at the re- quest of the coal companies, who de- sired that as a matter of courtesy their statement should be shown to the presi- dent before it was made public.

that further appeals on either side by some recommendation by the president will be contained in his annual message to congress. By that time he will have further information on the situation, which will be gathered by Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor. and such other men as may be designated to assist him in ascertaining the actual situation in the mining regions.
 While there is nothing tangible in sight here, it is said that the possibility of the strike being settled by forces at work in New York and elsewhere. It is understood that powerful influence is being exerted to this end

buggy. The runaway was little dl1rer- ent from dozens that occur in Phoenix every year. The horse merely took fright placed himself beyond the con- trol of the driver, and before he could be captured he made it necessary for the buggy to be sent back to the fac tory for reassembling, for the repair of it was beyond local skill. Yesterday a little girl, neighbor and a witness of the incident, told reporter for The Republican about it. She is about ten years old. singularly precise of eXpres- sion and with an animated face which lends additional eloquence to her mar ration.
 What she told was not a contribution of any new information regarding the disaster, but her way of telling 1t made the affair appear less like a tragedy than it must have seemed to Judge Kent while it was happening. Her story is reproduced as an example Of the art of story telling.
 Said she: MT. Kent drove up to his house across the street from us and went to water his horse. He must be very kind gentleman for he took the bridle out of the horses mouth so it  back over his shoulders, for the blinds were off of him. and he saw the buggy. He acted as if he had never seen it be- fore and he began to disappear. The driver said it was done so quick that they did not see which way he went, and they were standing right by him when he started.
 "The horse ran across the street into
 
 8 gainst everything he could find. He filtered our yard all up with pieces or the harness The buggy was a total wreck The seat was in one place ana the bed was turned upside down in an- other. Those cute little steel spokes were scattered around everywhere anu the steel trimmed wheels were twisted till they looked like sick snakes
 When MT. Kent and the driver found out where the horse had gone they came over after it. The driver began picking up the pieces of the buggy. ., nen he came to the bed which was turned upside town he turned it right side up. Mr Kent said to him: Han 4Io it c~-~4,'r ~~ -~: right scratch sor:e of the paint off,"

New York, October 13.-No settlement of the strike in the anthracite coal re- gions has been reached and. according to statement by three leading opera tors. no reasonable basis has yet been suggested to them. Any proposition embracing a 10 per cent increase will be ignored. It was another busy day for the operators. Before noon all Of them with President Baer were in con- ference in the office of the Erie road. Their talk lasted over an hour. but no statement was made for publication.
 Following the conference Chairman Thomas of the Erie road and President Truesdale of the Lackawanna were closeted with J. P Morgan at the lat ter's cffice Morgan would not talk about the situation, nor would he say anything regarding Secretary Root'a visit to him last Saturday.
 In spite of countless reports to the contrary, there was the best authority for stating that MT. Morgan has up to this time taken no active part in any settlement negotiations. He believes the matter rests with the coal presi- dents, and he is reported to have said as much to President Roosevelt through secretary ROOJ last SdIurQdy.
 Governor Odell made this significant remark at the Fifth Avenue hotel to- night:
 "I believe the coal strike nearer a definite settlement than it has been since it started
 The governor would make no explan- ation of his reasons for his belief fur ther than to say:
 Tn my opinion this week will see an end of it."
 Although no definite information can be obtained. it is believed that Gov ernOr Odell was this morning in con ference with both J. P. Morgan and President Baer. to the latter of whom he so forcibly outlined his position on Friday It is furthermore the opinion that Odell's recommendation of cents per ton increase for miners and a recog- nition of the union will be the basis settlement, although the latter may be avoided in part by asking the men to come back to work at the advanced prices without any agreement that they must leave their organization, but also without any stipulation that the union will be recognized as a body.

not be enough. There was Cnly one day more for registration, and MT. Drane set out at once, accompanied by Seth Byers, who is something O: a dem ocratic enthusiast himself. The Martin residence is in the southwestern part of town, about two miles from the post cH;ce They arrived there at sundown. Mir. Byers held the horse and MT Drane went in to recruit the demo- cratic party.
 When he entered the house it was filled with women, but there were no voters in sight. He said that he had been told that a democrat. a relative of Mir. Martin. was there and wanted to be registered. An old lady corrob- orated the rumor with reference to the politics of the lately arrived relative of Mir. Martin, and she went into an- other room, MT. Drane supposed, to tell the democrat that the registration list was waiting for him. She re- turned with a bundle in her arms and said to MT Drane, Here he is" He was very red infant less than twenty four hours old. His color matched that of the registration officer. whose democracy has never been questioned.
 When MT. Drane recovered the use of his vocal powers he said, Hes too dam little.'' His embarrassment was not relieved by the shrieking women, who had been told that registration officer was coming to register the baby and they gathered from the whcle neighborhood.
 Messrs. Drane and Byers drove back in silence. After they had travelled a half dozen blocks, MT Byers said: 'Drane, do you think anybody in that neighbOrhood knows who you are? don't believe they know me-

FOOLED HIM.

But in the Pleasant Ways of Peace.
 Good thing some men are married Their wives keep a sensible watch over them, and have a way to help overcome their troubles.
 MT. E. Lewis. of Shaniko, Gre, was located for several years at various points in South America, and fell into the native custom of frequently drink ing coffee. He says: "I took to using it the same as those nervous, excitabie people in South and Central America They make very black coffee and it be- comes more or less an intoxicating bev- craze At the end of about four months, 1 began having severe sick headaches and nervousness, but supposed it was from the tropical sun. At last my wife became alarmed at my headaches and stomach trouble. She tried to induce me to quit drinking coffee, laying my trouble to that, but I continued to use it.
 She read of Postum Food Coffee, and ordered some from the States, but kept it a secret from me. The very first time she made it, when I came in for my coffee and roll, I noticed that peculiar. pleasant flavor of Postum. and asked her what it was. She said it was new brand of coffee and asked me how I liked it. I tried two cups of it with rich 'Leche-de-Cheua,' which is used by everyone as milk in Panama, and thought it excellent. After a couple of days. my headaches stopped, and in a short while my nervousness disap- peared as if by magic. l have been using nothing but Postum for the past year, and have been completely cured, and my wife has also been cured of constipation exchanging to Postum, and we shall never go back to coffee again.

The desperation of the democratic managers of this county is shown by the extraordinary activity Of their registering officers, none of whom is mere alert and energetic than R. H. DraRe. who since the registration be- gan has not slept, lest some democratic voter should get away from him.
 Yesterday evening he was told by member Of the democratic central com mittee that a democratic relative of Constable E. H. Martin had come to his house, but was not able to come down town town to be registered. Every vote was needed, and even then the committeeman feared there would

Holbrook, Ariz., October 13 Special. Before a large audience, representing the best and most thoughtful men Of Navajo county, Messrs Morrison and Wilson appeared in a joint discussion on the territorial and national issues of the present campaign The discus sion was marked on both sides by calm, temperate argument and both men were in good condition for speaking.
 Judge Sloan presided and announced the rules for the debate and said that the decision would be reserved until after the 4th of November Wilson spoke first and referred to the basic principle of equal rights to all, special privileges to none, upon which. the gov ernment was founded. and the depart ure from which caused the formation of parties. The violation of the rule caused trusts, the great menace of pub lie rights today. The democratic party says: Destroy favorite legislation and you will have overthrown the evil re- suits of trusts; push off the top rails of the tariff, not to destroy trusts but to regulate them so that they will not de-
 stroy you. The democratic party was converted to labor legislation when or ganized labor demanded it. The re- publican party is not yet converted" Wilson closed by claiming the credit for the bill taxing the Santa Fe rail- road passed after he left congress.
 Morrison followed in an eloquent and strong declaration of the republican policy and principles, and showed that the basic principles of the government were first violated by the democrats in enslaving negroes. The republicans righted that, then declared that white slave labor should not exist and formed a protective tariff. We will take care,
