IT'S TOO LATE NOW
The Colombian Senate Has
Changed Its Mind
1t Would if It Could, Put New Life
into the Dead Panama Canal
Treaty.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Advices receiv-
ed at the state department from un-
official sources indicate that there
again has been a change in the senti-
mcnt of the Colombian senate respect
ing the Panama canal, and that there
is a considerable increase of the
strength of the element which is will
ing to make terms with the United
States
The agents Of the state department
have found it difficult to make plain the
fact, even to the Colombians, that the
Hay-Herran canal treaty is absolute-
ly and finally dead. and that no act Of
the Colombian senate can resurrect it.
If there is to be anything done in the
direction of a Panama. canal under
United States control it therefore must
he the result of entirely new negotia-
tiOns, and none such have been insti-
tuted.

STODDARD PLEASED
He Has No Fault TO Find
With the Situation
He Denies the Tucson Story That he
Has Charged Governor Brodie With
Opposition to Him.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S. (SpeciaD
There are no fresh developments in
the case of Secretary Stoddard of Ari-
zona, who is here to answer charges
preferred against him by the so-called
Maricopa County Press Association.
The Republican of October 23rd.
which arrived today, contained an ar
ticle from the Tucson Citizen in which
Mr.. Stoddard was represented as hav-
ing preferred charges against Gov.
Brodie. Mr.. Stoddard said TO your
correspondent when shown the article
in question. that he had not made
charges against anybody and that he
was not aware that Gov. Brodie had
taken any stand either for or against
him
The matter of the charges against
the secretary is still in the. hands of
the secretary Cf the interior. Mr..
Stoddard says he is entirely satisfied
with the existing situation.

COFFEE PARALYSIS.
A Wen Defined Case.

Coffee Paralysis is not common but
there are more cases than folks imag-
inc and there are cases where the ner-
vous victim keeps on with the coffee
until the trouble is chronic and incur
able.
on the other hand there are many
cases where leaving off the coffee and
drinking Postum Food Coffee in its
place has resulted in complete and
speedy cures as in the following:
For several years / was in an alarm
ing condition and had consulted every
physician in our town besides three
visiting specialists. My trouble baf-
fed them all, but their different YER
diets frightened me and the treatment
proposed was lorg, tedious and very
expensive. My husband had already
spent a small fortune tryingto help me
and the last effort was a $50 expert
ment which did no good.
MY trouble was a numbness or half
paralyZed sensation that would creep
over me, especially had at night, COM
mencing in my arms. shoulders and
down to my left side and was followed
by terrible pains and a prickly sem
sation that is beyond description. Ny
hands would puff up and feel like great
Jumps, so thick and heavy and unnat-
ural. 1 could do absolutely no work
Of any kind.
ut was then that my mother per-
suaded me that my condition was large
ly due to the use of coffee. of which
was a great lover. She knew what
leaving off coffee and using Postum had
done in her own case and she finally
persuaded me to make the same shift
which l did without much faith. To
my everlasting surprise the change as
wonderful for all my old complaints
soon lessened and are now completely
gone. The terrible feelings and SEN
sations that 1 cannot describe have
stopped completely and 1 feel as if new
rich, red blood was flowing through
my veins, bringing me health and hap
piness
"All of this know is due to my hav
ing stopped coffee and used Postum.
My husband and three sons all use
Postum now and greatly enjoy it."
Name Given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum makes red blood.

the famous little book, The Road TO

EIGHT HOURS IN NEVADA
Sympathetic Strike Results in No
Work for Union Men.


William buckingham, representative
Of Fairbanks, Morse e Co. has re-
turned to Arizona. spending yesterday

pcrtant mining developments are u--
der way.
Labor conditions" said Mr.. Buck
ingham. at the Hotel Adams yester-
day, represent the most interesting
phase OF mining It present. 1 wont
to tell you Of some peculiar labor con
ditions at Searchlight, New. About
five months ago the walking d9le~
gates melted q strike there. The mine
owners were much worried at the tirue
for it seemed impossible to reach an
understanding with the unions ard
several hundred men were thrown out
Of employment. The demands of :ha
union were preposterous and the
mine owners decided 10 attempt TO
secure Independent worl-men, and TO
shut down i9 they failed. They did
not fail and all the mines now ere
rur ming in full blast with Independent
workers.. brought out west frela Mis-
souri,. The men have been working n
zinc mines and are skilled laborerS,
The original miners are still at t;'e
camp and feeding from the meal
tickets furnished by the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners. The unions &C.
tablished n rule which provides for
the payment of $50 by a member Of
the union before he can secure n per-
nit TO leave the camp, and as a con-
sequence very few union miners hav"
left the camp.
And here is the amusing feature af
the situatiCn: The striking miners
ere ca.nped about the town expecting
to resume WORK soon. but the opera tors
have quietly agreed among themselves
thet under TO circumstances will they
re-employ any one Of the strikers.
talked the other day with one of the
strikers who admitted that he thought
the strike vas unjustly precipitated hv
the unions. He had no particular
liking for the unions himself, but was
compelled to join one to hold his JOB
and now he was barred from work be-
cause he is a member of a union
This strike was brought about IN
the first place through, a law similar
to the recently enacted Arizona eight
hour law. An eight hour day was
created fer the underground miners.
The top men thought they
were being Disseminated against and
they struck for eight hours The
underground worknen struck in SYM
pathy and the result iG that all arc
out of a job now"

new CE-MURPHY BILLS
Old Indictments Went Out on Demur-
er or Were Withdrawn.

The demurTers to the eleven indict-
ments found against former Surveyor
General Price and former Chief Clerk
Murphy were passed upon yesterday
morning by Judge Kent. The demur-
rers to the five indictments alleging
eXtortion were sustained and those
cases were dismissed. The same ruling
was made in the single Indictment
charging conspiracy. However. the
demurrers to the five indictments in
which accepting bribes is charged
were overruled. The court though said
that they were not quite as they ought
to be. but that they would pas.
On the motion of the United States
attorney the cases covered by them
were dismissed and they were resub-
rlitted to the grand jury along with
those the demurrers to which had
been sustained. The grand jury had
not been discharged and it at once
entered upon the consideration of the
cases. A little later eleven indict-
ments alleging the same offenses
which had been alleged IN the original
indictments were returned. The grand
jury was then finally discharged.
The defendants will be arraigned to-
day and q time will be set for them to
plead. The bond in the case of each is
the same as that fixed at the time
when the other indictments were
brought in. What course the attorneys
for the defendants will pursue is not
known but it is believed that there
viii be no vigorous fight against the
indictments but that they will go 10
trial ca them
The new Indictments differ from the
old ones only in that they have been
made to conform to the form of the
statutes. In the old ores the surveyor
general was simply described as n
surveyor general of Arizona. There
was no intimation that ne was a fed
eral officer. The CHIEF clerk was
spoken of as an officer but his position
was not clearly defined. In the original
indictments fer extortion it had not
been charged that it had been commit
ted for the gain Of the defendants and
If not there could have been no ex-
tortion.
Neither had it been stated who were
the victims of the extortion. That has
been corrected by the insertion of the
words. persons unknown"
IN the indictments fer bribery there
was not a cefnite description of the
offense. In the new indictments it is
stated that certain mineral surveys or
patents OF which the numbers are
given had been presented at the office
OF the surveyor general: that they
were given attention by reason of the
extra fees charged, before other pat
ents which had been filed earlier.

ged INFO the case. This statement is
made s-uthoIitativeIy. The supervisors
say in the first place that they would
regard such an action, and it would
be regarded by all level headed people
in the county as an attempt TO break
a contract which was souareiy entered
into between the county and the rail-
road company. They say thot though
there, is no hope Of the success Of such
an action they. and all who would sup
port 1t, would be justly entitled TO the
name Of regulators.
But leaving the question OF repudia-
ton ana the breaking OF contracts out

not enter into a partnership with Mr..
ThomGs in this matter. II the rail-
road owes taxes to anybody it owes
them 10 the county, and the county
could noI enter into an arrangement
with an outside party for their re

There is no inclination whatever on
the part of any member of the board
to allow Mr.. Thomas a commission
for the collection of a debt which the
supervisors do not believe is due the
county.

Washington Soon.

Col Wilson, delegate to congress
from Arizona, arrived yesterday morn

rangements for his departure for

nary session He will leave the latter
part of this week or the first first of

the close of the long term of the
regular session.
Col Wilson says that there will be
an intermission of not more than
week between the end of the extra
session and the beginning of the reg
ular session.
1t has been expected by some per-
sons that the act authorizing the
towns of Tempe, Phoenix and Mesa to
bond themselves for the purpose of
building a wagon road to the TontO
Basin reservoir site would be intro
duced by Col. Wilson at the coming
session. He said yesterday that il
would be impossible to secure con-
sideraticn of such a measure at the
extra session which has been called
only for the consideration of the
Cuban treaty. 1t is quite likely that
the isthmian canal will be forced up
on the attention of congress but there
will certainly be no other business
taken up.
He will, however, introduce the
bond act on the opening of/the regular
session.
