At the Opera House.

"A Runaway Tramp, is the big
gest hit of the season. for genuine
real fun seems to be the sensation
all along the towns wherever "a
Runaway Tramp" appears. The COM
edy is a sure gold mine for the man
ager of the company, for everybody
says that "A Runaway Tramp" is
simply crowding the theatres to the
doors every night. and hundreds of
people coming for miles in the coun-
try have been turned away because
they came too late expecting to get
choice reserved seats, but sadly dis
Such is the fact neverthe-
less. Reading accounts from other
papers the tramp seem to

A special dispatch to the Dallas
News from Guthrie, Oklahoma, un-
der date Of March 8, has this to say
concerning the road in which Ros-
well is deeply interested.
The Rock Island Railroad Compa-
ny will build an extension, beginning
during the present year, from Man
gum, in southwestern Oklahoma, to
Tularosa. N. NJ, a line thai will pen
citrate fourteen Texas counties. This
according to railroad men here is
the meaning of the charter granted
during the last week here to the Ok
lahoma, Roswell and White Noun
tain Railroad Company, with $5.00O,-
900 capital stock.
Mangum is the southwestern ter
minus of the Rock Island in Oklaho-
ma; it has been completed about
two "a and has made a very pay
ing investment, striking as it does a
rich cotton area as well as the un-
limited granite deposits in Greer CO
unity. The line chartered this week,
runs southwest from Mangum and
the route selected takes it through
as the rich coal field in the Mesca,
lero Indian reservation in New Mex
leo. Such an extension would prove
invaluable to the Rock Island and
would also bring the country through
which the road would be constructed
many miles nearer the ST. Louis
and other eastern markets, and, in
fact, gives to some of the sections
something they have never yet pos
sessed-a railroad.
I'm Texas the new extension will
pass through the following counties:
Childress, Cottle. Motley,
Hall, Briscoe, Floyd, Lubbock, Hale,
Swisher, Lamb, Hockey, Baylor and
Crockett. Entering New Mexico in
Chaves county the road penetrates
the Ruidoso and Carrizozo river val
leys, one of the richest portions of
that territory, and through Roswell
to the Mescalero Indian reservation.
A portion of the route is through the |
White mountain district, picturesque
wealthy in mineral deposits.
The distance from Mangum to
the White mountains is something
over 400 miles, and the first survey
of the road has been made"

AS TO PROPOSED COURT
WHAT SENATORS AND REPRESENT
TATIVES SAY.
Pension Commissionership Gossip-A
Naturalization Commission Advo-
cated-Land Laws Changes Needed.

President Roosevelts recommended ton in
his recent message and his insistence In
conference with members of Congress that
power be conferred upon the interstate
commerce commission to adjust railroad
freight rates. subject to review of the
courts. have been the subject of important
interviews between the President and not
only members of Congress. but also men
in other walks of life in whom the Presi-
dent has confidence. A day or two ago
Judge Grosscup of Chicago talked with
the President on the subject. and today
Judge William w. Morrow of the United
States circuit court a San Francisco also
discussed the situation with him. 1t can DE
said that no definite plan of legisla ton yet
has been determined upon.
II has been suggested that a court of
interstate commerce be created, which
shall consider directly such questions of
rates as may be brought before it, the
decisions being subject to review only by
the Supreme Court of the United States
A measure providing for such a court is
being considered by the President and his
advisers and by members of Congress- In
deed. Senator Elkins of West Virginia
chairman OF the committee on interstate
commerce, has discussed such a measure
with some of his friends. IT being thought
he regards the proposition favorably.
The proposition to create a court of inter-
State commerce is not new. IL was offered
In the Senate nearly a dozen years ago,
coupled with provision abolishing the In
terstate commerce commission. 1t was ac-
corded, however, scarcely more than casual
consideration.
BY invitation of the President a special
committee of the Commercial Travellers
Association discussed with the President to-
day his proposal to enlarge the powers of

the interstate commerce commission. The
committee consisted of F. W. Crandall of
st. Louis, chairman of the national rail-
road committee; Col. John S. HARDWOOD of
Richmond, Va, chairman of the national
legislative committee, and John C. Simmer
ing of Baltimore. national director.
The committee assured the President that,
in the stand he had taken regarding rail-
road rates, he had the cordial support of
the 2J.0OO travellers and jobbers whom the
committee represented. The President init
mated to the committee that the idea of a
court of interstate commerce was being
considered in connection with the problem,
although no definite decision regarding it
had been reached.
Mr.. Warner for Pension Commissioner.
The pension commissionership may go 10
Representative Vespasian Warner of Illi-
nois. 1t is almost certain that he will be
the next commissioner If Major William
Warner of Missouri does not accept the
offer of the place. Major Warner still has
under consideration. despite assertions to
the contrary. the offer of the position of
pension commissioner TO succeed Eugene
f. Ware. and he has not formally notified
the President of his intention to decline
the offer. How long he will hold the offer
is not known. but 1t is said by some of his
friends, that he may not act upon 1t until
after the Missouri legislature decides wn0
will be United States senator from there
to succeed Senator Cockrell.
Commissioner Ware paid a farewell call
upon the President today. He is about to
leave for his home in the west not to re-
turn here. Il am a little tired out" he re-
marked. land am going back to Kansas
among cyclones to get a rest. i want some
thing easy
A Naturalization Commission.
Representative Goulden of New York
talked with the President about a change
In the naturalization laws of the country
the object being to put stop to the huge
naturalization frauds that have been COM
mitted with success for many years. The
President feels that something ought to be
done to prevent naturalization papers going
to any person except foreigners who are
clearly and fairly entitled to them. Mr.
Goulden desires to withdraw a bill he now
has pending that he believes would restrict
the issuance of naturalization papers and
to propose joint resolution providing for
the appointment of a commission, which
would be authorized to revise the natural
ization laws and provide for a complete
and important change In them. Mr.. Goul-
den said this plan met the approval of the
President. who suggested that the New
York representative caH on Attorney Gen
eral Moody and confer with him about the
matter. Mr.. Goulden believes that a COM
plete investigation by such commission
whose existence would be limited to ninety
days or not over six months, would be of
great benefit.
