ROADS NOT SATISFIED !
WITH THE new LAW

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The
national board of trade and other
shipping organizations interested in
securing the passage of the Elkins
anti-rebate bill are only half salts
fed with the law recently passed.
They propose to continue their cam
paign of education to secure a pool
ing law, and law to give to the in
terstate commerce commission more
power in the correction and govern
ing of rates.
Advocates Of pooling do not hest
tate to express their conviction that
the new law will prove quite as in
effectual as the one which it amends.
They base this prediction on the
broad ground that it is not within
the power of any law to prevent the
giving or taking of rebates, brides or
other inducements calculated to at
tract bubsiness. There are too many
ways. they say, in which the bride
or rebate may be safely transmitted,
to be reached by any law. The agent
of the railroad which wants the bust
ness meets the shipper who has a
hundred cars of cattle to transport,
and loses to hm few thousand dol
lars in a poker game; or he stakes
him to winning investment in
stocks; or he sells him a valuable

commodity for less than it's WORTH
or In hundred other ways he ''slipt
1t to him." as they say in the state
legislature, and the deal is made. ThR
shipper has every inducement to keep
his mouth shut; and the agen of the
road is not likely to tell on himself;
in case either talks or an outsider
complains. the Transaction can be put
in the light Of an innocent card game,
or good trade. The railroad cor.
poration does not have any official
knowledge of it; and the competing
road wonders why the business went
by that route when their service is as
good and their published rate identi-
cal with that Of their competitor.
They say: If there were a con-
tract between the competing roads
for fair and equitable division Of
the traffic, there would be no occasion
for going after business in this fash
ion; they would not have to give Sc
cret inducements to get the traffic.
Each road would have its proportion
ate share OF the profits. Rates would
hold steadier; the big shipper would
be put on a plane Of equality with
the small shipper, and the general
average of rates would be lower.
Therefore they seek repeal of that
portion of the Sherman law which
prohibits pooling agreements.

Assault Made on
Famous hangman.

LONDON, March 4. - Hangman
Ellington, England's famous eXecu-
toner, was found lying unconscious
on the railway track outside of Lon
don this morning.
He had been assaulted with club
and is in imminent danger of death.
1t is thought friends of Edwards, the
notorious murderer, who was hanged
a short time ago, are the perpe-
traitors.
The sufferer regained conscious
ness later. He says an unknown man
entered the railway carriage and at
tempted to rob him. In the scuffie he
fell through the door.
The railway people and police both
doubt the story, which has given the
affair an air of mystery. The hang
man is making an evident attempt
at concealInent.

CITY PRINTING TIED
UP IN COMMITTEE
Efforts to Bring the Matter to Vote Failed
at Last Nights Meeting of the
Council.

No contract for the city printing
was awarded by the city council last
night, although efforts to bring the
matter to vote were among the first
moves made after the opening of the
meeting and the last moves made be-
fore it's close.
The hitch came when Councilman
q. M. Woydt made a motion that the
report of the finance committee of
the council, recommending that the
printing be given to The Press, be
taken out of the hands of the COM
mittee and put to a vote. There was
no second to Mr.. Woydt's motion.
Then the matter lay in allegiance
until closing time, when Councilman
Frank Boyd made motion that the
report be taken out of the hands of
the committee. Mr.. Woydt seconded
the motion. President Hand then

boxer who is scheduled to fight Terry

try-out for his bout with the former
champion. Yanger has been training
for the last week at Hot Springs
and appears to be in fine fettle. Fol-
lowers of the game concur in the esti-
mate that Rice is no match for the
Chicagoan and unless all calculations
go astray the latter should win to-
nights contest in 3fg'time. After the
bout here he will go at once to Buff

The bridge across New river west of Brawley will soon be ill place, greatly to the benefit of the town and the settlers in No. 8. New river has of late been carrying large quantity of water, mak- ing it very difficult to ford the stream, and as consequence public interest is awakened to secure the bridge. At the meeting Saturday evening to perfect plans there was large attendance and $500 of the money subscribed was paid into the bridge fund. J. E Miller was chairman of the meeting snd c. H. Heard secretary, and the committee ap- pointed to have charge of the construc- tion work consists of J. E. Miller, P. Hovely, D. S. Elder, F. $. Miller, and G. w. Fraser. Engineer Peasley of the Imperial Construction Company was asked to prepare plans and specified tions for the bridge. As soon as these are completed construction will begin.
 In No. 8, approachable only by cross ing the river, this bridge will be highly appreciated, for that district is now set tling very rapidly. Comparatively few first sales of land are now being made there, but the people who in recent months bought land there are now pouring in to take possession of it, with the result that homes are springing up everywhere and thousands of acres are being got ready for crops.

force, though teams enough to rush the work satisfactorily are not to be had.
 Sales of land on the frontier, espec- ially in No. 5, still continue, those of the last seven days aggregating 1520 acres. Those securing land were: J. s.

Hendrick, 40 acres in No. 8; H. Klindt of Upland, 32O acres in No. 5; R. R. Baker of Los Angeles, 16O acres in No. 8; John Elliott, 40 acres in No. 8.
