| during the early part of the afternoon. The civic commission appointed by Mayor Dunne to investigate the strike | commenced operation today. It did lit tie but organize for future work, how ever and the promise for the success | full performance of its mission does not l seem to be bright. It has no power to summon witnesses and must there fore rely upon volunteered testimony. Tonight the members of the employ | CTS association declared that they had received no official notice of the crea- tion of the commission and would have no dealings with it until they had been properly notified of its existence. President DoId of the Chicago Feder- ation Of Labor declared for the labor men that none of them would appear unless it's sessions were open to the public and unless it investigated not only the causes of the present team sters strike but those leading up to the strike of the garment workers of
 Montgomery. Ward and company, last January. It was in support of this strike four months after it's inception that the teamsters went out in sym pathy.
 The members of the mayors commits sion issued a statement late today de- claring that they would hold private sessions daily in the city hall. It was announced, however, that no announce ment of the proceedings would be made until the hearing was entirely completed and a decision reached. The action of laboring men in declaring 'against the secret feature of the hear ing practically nullified the attitude of the commission as soon as announced.
 The efforts of the attorneys of the labor leaders to protect their clients from answering questions concerning the federal injunctions granted dur ing the strike by Judge KohIsaat proved unavailing. Judge Kohlsaat de- cided that although a person can avail himself of the privilege of not answer ing discriminating questions the de- fendants must appear before the mas ter In ohancery tomorrow morning and be sworn as witnesses. If occasion arises where they GO not desire to an- swer questions for fear of incrimina- tion they can take advantage of their rights and refuse. The privilege of re- fusing to answer questions was all that any one could ask. There could be no possible objection to having the wit nesses sworn.
 At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the labor leaders against whom injunc- tions were issued will appear before the master in chancery and the exam inatiOn in support of the restraining orders, which are returnable on We'd nesday, will be commenced.
 This arrangement of Judge Kohlsaat was not satisfactory to the labor lead CTS, however, and President DoId of the Chicago Federation of Labor de clared tonight that none of the men would appear to give testimony, even if their refusal resulted in their being compelled to go to jail.

THE NEW CAMP PAIGN
First Step in Move Against
 Gambling
A Citizens Meeting Last Night and the Appointment of Committee to Outline a Plan.

The new campaign against gambling in this city was begun last night at O'Neill hall at a meeting of citizens representing both parties and consist ing in large part of the members of the last citizens committee. The meeting was largely attended, and the speeches were generally moderate i'll tone. There was a full expression of the views of those present, but all that was definitely accomplished was the appointment of a committee of twenty five to outline a campaign.
 The meeting was called to order by E. A. Spaulding, who made a general statement of the object of the move ment, the details of which were yet to be arranged. For that purpose those who were opposed to gambling had been assembled and an interchange of views was invited. Mir Spaulding sug- gested a temporary organization. D. D. Horneng was unanimously made temporary chairman and W. H. Black temporary secretary.
 It was suggested that, though this was Phoenix movement, people living outside the city were as Vitally inter- ested in anS movement which had for its object the well-being of Phoenix. c. T. Hirst was called upon MT. Hirst said that he was a nonresident of the city, but no one was more deep ly interested in the welfare of the city than he. He believed it would be a good plan by petition to ascertain the views of those living in the country as well as of those living within the city lim- its. These views could be presented to the city council and to the mer- chants for whatever influence or weight they might have. In the Opin- ion of MT. Hirst there was no need of immediate action, though it was not too early to begin ascertaining the sen timent of the community, and he rec
Arizona republican., 1905-05-09

commended that steps be taken in that direction.
 The next speaker was J. L. Vinson He believed that the time for action was now. Neither was he a resident of Phoenix, but he would like to have an opportunity to give expression to his views and he would like to have the same opportunity given his neigh bors of the Cartwright district. Every man there, he said, could be relied up- on to put himself against the evil oi gambling with, perhaps. a single ex- ception. That man, though, was SC much an exception to his moral neigh bors that there were serious thoughts in the community of buying him out
 MT. Vinson did not believe that any thing might be expected of the pres ent city government. It was up to the people to take action; to push the question of the suppression of gam bling directly up to the city council.
 MT. Brooks of the Cartwright neigh borhood addressed the meeting in the same tenor He desired, though, to correct MT. Vinson as to the immoral exception of that neighborhood. He was not a resident of the Cartwright neighborhoOd at all, but of the Fowler district.
 D. Battin urged immediate action. He thought the faith of Mir. Hirst in the promises of the city council not well founded. The thing to do was to leave the council no way out of it i; let that body be overwhelmed by the sentiment of the city and the sur rounding country.
 The next speaker was a gentleman who said he was a stranger in Phoe- nix. But he had evidently been here during the late campaign and had not informed himself or had not been in formed that the campaign was over. He employed the terms, the gamblers ticket" and ''the king of the gamblers" as freely as they had been used in the heat of the campaign, but he suggested nothing definite in the way of relief Other speakers were Superintendent George Blount of the high school and Nj. Stein. Both were moderate in tone, but the former urged immediate ac- ton.
 Up to this time no proposition had been made beyond the suggestions by Mir. Hirst. Rev. Lapsley A. McAfee delivered a businesslike address. He said that he wished he might be able to unsay some of the things he had heard said. He thought that MT. Hirst had struck a keynote in his address in which he urged the avoidance of an

President j. M. Barr Of the Seaboard Air
Line, which operates in Virginia, the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, says
in his annual report that the business in the
territory served by the system is rapidly
outgrowing it's facilities. Passenger and
freight business, especially the vegetable
traffic, is steadily increasing and the ter
ritory is rapidly developing. Regarding the
policy of the road, President Barr says:
Heavy expenses for rail renewals and
replacement of equipment must continue
capital expenditures must be made to pro-
vide the necessary facilities for economical
operation apd to secure our share Of the
increased business and maintain satisfaC-
tory service. These improvements to the
property have already begun and must be
carried forward and the railroad gradually
brought to higher standard if the company
is to reap the benefit of it's position and par
ticipate in the growth of the territory which

Dickinson. Apleasing musical program
was rendered, interspersed with recita.
tons and al original poem, at the con-

served. Speaking of Mrs. Nickels work

"Mrs. Nickels during her incumbency
proved a tireless worker for the advance
ment in every way of the Sunday School
and her co-workers took this mean of
expressing to her their feeling of graft
tude for her efforts"

Talks About North Dakota Prosperity.

Minneapolis Tribune: lit takes some
thing more than a car shortage to make
a North Dakotan unhappy these days"
said Robert Jones, a substantial citizen
of Fargo, who is at the West hotel.
"There is some trouble with the cars, as
there is every year, but l haven't heard
of any great suffering. There is a scar
city of coal in some localities east of the
Missouri river, but we are able to get
coal frem the mines west of the river at
a very reasonable rate, and, unlike you
people, are not at the mercy of coal
barons."
While Mr.. Jones was speaking his
face was sufused with broad smile,
indicative of great personal comfort and
that sweet satisfaction with the world
which exceptional prosperity stamps on
the human c~ountenance. He went on
to say a lot OF good things about North
Dakota, and seemed surprised that any
one could suppose there was anything
troubling that fortunate state.
North Dakota" said Mr.. Jones, pro.
nouncing the name with evident relish
sis all right, all right. You know We
harvested a big crop and that we are all
prosperous. Our farmers. our mer
chants, III bankers. everybody is il
good shape. You can't make a North
Dakotan look sad; he's too prosper
ous."

Snakes.


Snakes have their usefulness in the
world. They are the scavengers of
swamps and morasses where other ami

to exist. It is in the tropics Of course
that serpents chiefly abound. All
snakes are Of tropical origin, but some
species have spread into cooler lati-
tudes. In very cold countries there are
no snakes. Contrary to the popular
belief, there ire some snakes in Ire
land, but they are very rare. The

are about as big as fair sized earth
worms. Some snakes lay eggs, while
others bring forth their young alive.
In the latter category are vipers, rat
