MANY NEW BILLS
 WERE BROUGHT IN
Another Proposition for a
 Primary Election Law
Also for Election of Supervisors by Districts-A Bill to Impose Fran chise Tax on Corporations.

So many of the members Of the leg islature who went away to spend the vacation between last Friday and yes terday morning. to which an adjourn ment had been taken, had not returned on the expiration of the recess that sessions in both houses were very short. The house business was made up almost entirely of the introduction of new bills which were for the most part substitutes for bills which had been previously introduced but which for one reason or another have been held up.
 One of them is a primary election bill, the sponsor for which is MT. Mar lar. It differs from the St Charles bill, which is yet in the hands of d committee for modification, after hav- ing been defeated and reconsidered, in that it approaches less closely to the so-called Crawford county system. T. proposes that the candidates shall not be named at the primaries, but that delegates shall be chosen to county conventions. The primaries of all par ties shall be held at the same time and place and under the same supervision. The Australian ballot system shall pre- vail. Any voter may vote whatever ticket he chooses, but he can vote only one ticket. The voter must also vote in the precinct in which he happens to be registered
 Another feature which differs from the St. Charles bill is that the pri- maries are not to be held at the public expense; that is, they shall not be held at public expense unless the supervisors of county may order so upon a peti- tion from the voters of the county. In that case the supervisors may exercise their discretion about making the order.
 Another bill introduced by Mr. Mar lar is one to take the place of a bill previously introduced by him for re- modelling the laws affecting boards of supervisors. The former bill was in- tended to be applicable to the needs ot Maricopa county, but a great deal of objection was raised to it by the out side counties. It provided for the cleo

SUBSTITUTE FOR MEMORY.

The latest piece of cIockwork inge- nuity comes from Geneva. In that home of horological marvels clock with phonograph attached to it has just been constructed. The clock acts as mechanical mentor. If d man has to keep 2 business appointment at r o'clock tomorrow he tells his Dhoao- graph clock all about it and sets the alarm indicator for half past II. At that time on the morrow the clock will speak it's message of reminder, giving him half an hour in which to get ready. A clock expert at Bensons, Ludgate Hill, said in an interview in the Daily Express that such contrivances are re- garded only as toys.

ton of five supervisors by districts in counties of a certain class. The district feature was satisfactory, but it was thought that five were too many. It also contemplated a. reduction of the salaries of supervisors to $500; it pro posed also to abolish road districts and road overseers, leaving the duty now performed by them to be performed by supervisors in their respective districts, for which they would receive renumer- ation making their total compensation about equal to what they now receive.
 The only change proposed in the pres ent bill is th3t making supervisors elective by districts.
 MT. Henry of Gila introduced a bill relating to mines and mining. One was brought in by Mir. Lamont amending the statutes in relation to instruction by judges to juries.
 The most important matter in the council was the introduction of bill by Mir. Ashurst imposing a franchise tax upon all corporations hereafter to be formed in the territory. It is under stood that this bill is intended to take the place of the Cowan bill now in the hands of a house committee to trans fer from the office of the secretary U that of the auditor the business of in corpora tions with all emoluments. The Ashurst bill proposes that q franchise tax of s1o shall be levied upon all new corpora tions and that the tax so re- ceived by the secretary shall be de- posted by him with the territorial treasurer The franchise tax shall be placed to the credit of the general fund. It is estimated that the annual revenue would be from S12,00G to S15,0O0
 Several bills were received from the house and referred. The council was ir session less than half an hour.
 There was no talk of developments in the matters of the eight-hour bill or the woman suffrage bill, but it is expected that something will occur in the busi- ness of prison removal within day or two.

A CALIFORNIA HORsEMhN
Brings a Nice String of Stock te
 Phoenix.

In the arrival of Charles A. Smith from Fresno is added to the ranks of the Phoenix horsemen another reputa- ble gentleman and a horseman of ex- perience. Not only that but he has come to stay and has brought with him four nice horses, one of them being the standard bred and registered stallion, Senator L., who holds the worlds four-mile record of 1912 and who is ac- counted to be the greatest long-dis- tance stallion living.
 Mir Smith has been engaged in the livery business in Fresno and has been very successful. He has, however, heard a great deal about this country as a good place for raising horses, so lie decided to pack up and come vast ing no time in travelling back and forth. From what he has seen since his ar.i- val he believes he has made no mis- take in coming. and the stock he has brought with him is surely a valuable addition to the racing and breeding stock of this valley.
 Senator l.. was sired by Dexter Prince 1883. son of Kentucky Prince 2470 and Lady Dexter; first dam Fanny B9-yswater, dam of Senator L.. worlds s fourmile record. and Bayswater Wilkes 2:25; second dam Bessie Sedg- wick dam of Bessie Thorn 2:22lh. third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth dams registered in American Thorough bred Stud Book.
 Senator L. is a beautiful bay, 161& hands high. weight 1920 pounds, sound and perfect in every respect. kind dis position, best of feet and legs and a square and honest trotter. When n racing form he won all the long-dis- lance races of his year and clipped 40 seconds off the best previous worlds record for four miles. He was a great race horse descended from a great fam fly and he has developed into mag nificclt stallion.

NO MALLEABLE IRON COMBINE
Proposed Organization Announced a
Month Ago as Completed is
Gone to Pieces.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 1.-The Gazette tomor-
roy will say:
The $40, OOO, 900 malIeeble castings con-
solidation announced laht snonth as an as
sured thing has gone to pieces. 1t is said
that the support Of former Judge Ebert r.
Gary, Max Pam and their associates in the
United States Steel corporation was with
drawn on the ground that the conditions are
not opportune for the launching of such a
concern and this led to the deal being
dropped for an Indefinite time.
Early last month William C. Mcmillan of
the Michigan Malleable Iron company, which
would have been one of the strongest of
the seventeen constituent concerns, an
nounced that the deal had been completed.
ADULTS had been completed by a New York
firm and everything was in readiness for
the financing when the important support
from the United States Steel corporation
interests was withdrawn.
Only one OF the several Pittsburg MALE
able concerns had planned to enter the
consolidation. This was the Pittsburg NAL
leable company. controlled by the Westing-
house company. The new concern was TO
have been launched the first OF the year.
The seventeen concerns which were to
form the consolidation have a combined
yearly output of 200, 900 tons of malleable
castings. These concerns are mostly To-

STRIKE SETTLEMENT LIKELY
Message from New York Gives Union
Pacific Strikers New
Hope.

I'VE meet the officials again Tuesday,
when a settlement probably will be de-
cided on"
This is the news that came yesterday to
strike headquarters from an executive rep
resentative in New York. On the strength
Of this telegram from one Of the men en-
gagged in the conferences with the Union
Pacific officials, strikers are disposed to
look with more seriousness than ever upon
the possibility OF a settlement this month.
Still, they are proceeding with their plans
'ust as II they expected tie Eight to con-
niue for another six months and will OBJ
serve this policy until the last vestige of
war is gone. But the strike breakers are
less skeptical, so to speak, than the men
outside the high board fence that sur
rounds the Union Pacific shops. They con-
tinue to leave. and probably wisely so.
The telegram quoted also brings tie in
formation that the reports contained in
some eastern papers to the effect that
IAN unequivocal victory" has been won by
the strikers in their ability already to Sc
cure the officials pledge to the abolition
of piecework, are positively incorrect. The
officials have not only not yielded in this
the crucial point, but are holding out with
special t~enacity and show they would rather
give up every other proposition before that
one. Piecework or no piecework is the
pivot on which the strike hangs and has
hung on all along.

COAL TO GO UP A NOTCH TODAY
Companies Agree on In
crease OF 81 Per Ton I'm Price
of Anthracite.

SCRANTON, Pa. Jan. 4-Following the
lead of the Lehigh Valley. the Jersey Cen
trail. the Reading companies. the Delaware,
Lackawanna & western company yester-
day scceded to the demand OF it's contract
shippers to suspend the 1875 contract until
circular and actual market prices again
conform.
Only about half OF the Independent OPP
orators are selling under the 65-35 con-
tract. They have had to be content with
IS per cent OF s. on big sizes and the same
per cent OF 1915 on small sizes, the arbi-
trary figure fixed by the carriers for coal
at tidewater. The independents who we're
not under contract terms have sold their
coal at the breaker for at least s. a ton
and the purchaser looked after the freight.
The contract Independents argued that It
was unfair that they should be bound by
an arbitrary circular price when they
could get fully 80 per cent better prices,
and particularly whea other Independents
were getting all that the law Of supply and
demand allows.
This means that the Independents are
now all FREQ to sell their coal at the
breaker at the best prices they can secure,
leaving It to the purchaser to deal with
the carrier about freight charges.
In return for the concession the indie
pendents have promised to favor the east
and New England, where coal is most
needed, and with thia end in view they
have already ~announcce that no more coal
will be sold by them At retail.
To generally discourage local consumers
from buying more coal than Is actually
needed an advance In price was agreed
upon, and tomorrow Scrantonians who
want coal will have to pay IS a ton for the
larger domestic sizes. This 81 a ton more
than 1t was selling for last week. Under
normal conditions It sells here for $3.50
delivered.
READING, Pa, Jam. 4.-By midnight to-
night the Reading company expects to
have transported to market for the past
forty-eight hours $500 cars Of anthracite
coal. This movement Of coal began yes
terday morning, and in forwarding this
great quantity the company is breaking
every record. Today every locomotive OF
all classes was pressed into service and
all available freight crews we're called on
for help. Most OF the $500 cars were
moved today. Oficers estimate that dur
ing the holidays and because the miners
failed to get back to work promptly $780,
600 tons Of anthracite failed to reach
market.
The Independent operators Of the region
mine about Is per cent Of the entire pro-
duction Of anthracite coal.

EMPEROR STARTS MODEL FARM
shows German AsricuIturists How to
Make It Pay without
State Aid.

Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
BERLIN, Jan. 4.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.) - Emperor
William has been directing much atten-
ton lately to agriculture. He says II
German farmers would only take lessons
from scientific farmers in England or the
United States they could increase their
crops and improve their condition without
state aid.
His model farm In Cadinen is being rap
idly transformed into an Agricultural show
place. When the emperor took posses
sion of 1t four years ago II was IN a con-
dition Of wreck. both houses and estate,
badly drained, badly stocked and yielding
no crop worth speaking of. In four years
he changed everything. The house is now
a charming English country house and
shooting lodge combined. and the estate of
about 5000 acres. half forest, is in a fair
way to add 500, 900 a year to the emperor's
revenues,
Four years ago only rice and potatoes
would grow in Cadinen. The emperor has
introduced wheat, oats and barley and
mangel wurtzel for cattle. He has put $50
Dutch COWS on the estate and every day
their produce goes to Danzig and other
towns in the vicinity. The Cadinen milk
cream. butter and cheese have become
famous throughout the east of Germany
and command the highest prices. The
emperor's new dairy is modelled upon the
Windsor establishment. A spirit motor
supplies all the power needed.
During his recent stay in Cadinen the
emperor read up all the latest English
books on dairy farming. His attention has
also been directed to a better breed OF
swine. He has Just bought a farm ad-
joining Csdlnen, a place called Kickelhof,
where he has installed some of the best
Westphalian breeds.
But he is proudest of his potatoes. In
four years he has replaced the poor. soapy
potatoes which used to grow in Cadinen
with a splendid, foury article, admired all
over the countryside. The potatoe output
OF Cadinen this year was over 1000 tons.
