Votes to Sing "The Crusaders and
 "Olaf Trygvasson."

Votes to Sing ''The Crusaders and
 "Olaf Trygvasson."
 The fifth season of the Peoples Choral union began last night with a grand rally meeting in City Mission hall at 7:45 o'clock. This meeting was the largest in the unions history, about 400 voices being present. Many new voices were tried and accepted. The night singing classes under Misses Fo- garty and Lynch were crowded.
 The meeting opened by the singing of Professor Parker's Harold Harfager" as a greeting to the president, Profess sor William Lyon Phelps. Professor Phelps address was witty and served to set the members of the union in good mood for the years work.
 It was voted that the union sing dur ing the winter "The Crusaders" by Niels W. Gade, and Olaf Trygvasson," " by Greig. The union will probably sing other pieces as we'll

 The detectives went to the place designated on Arch street and appre- hended their man. He is a young man, being only twenty-eight years old. He was taken to police headquarters where he waived his right to refuse to re- turn to Pennsylvania without eXtradi- tion papers, and Detective Walter J. Rutledge of the shamokin department took >Simons back to Shamokin last evening.

STUDENTS MAKE COMPLAINT
TO CITY ATTORNEY SIMPSON
 ABOUT THEATER TICKETS

Alleging That Best seats Were Sold to
 n New York speeuIatOr-The Story
 Pronounced a AIisapprehensiOn at the
 Theater-NothIng of the Kind-The
 speculatOrs.
 l Considerable excitement and indigna- tion has been aroused among the stu dents of the university in connection with the disposition of tickets for the performance of Fritzi Schef in Mile MOdiste" at the Hyperion theater to- morrow evening. When the box office at the theater opened yesterday morn l ing there was a. long line of prospective 1 buyers, many of whom had spent a large part of the night in holding their positions in the line. The students all lege that even the early corners. the first ones in the line, were unable to obtain good tickets for the first floor. They declare that a speculator from New York presented an order, signed by member of the syndicate which owns the theater, that the manager should let the bearer have as many tickets as he desired, and that there were sold to him practically all the good seats on the first floor of the the ater.
 1 Quite a number of students went to City Attorney Simpson yesterday after noon and lodged this complaint against the theater, but as the alleged action, even if true, is perfectly within the law, MT. Simpson told them that he could do nothing about it. It is ru- mored that the students will complain to the mayor to-day about the action. As the matter is purely civil one. the mayor cannot, it is believed, do any thing in the matter.
 The management of the theater deny absolutely the truth of the allegations. One of the attaches of the house, when seen last evening, stated that the tick cts had all been sold openly, not more than two to one person, with the ex- ception of about 140 that were reserved in the orchestra for the Yale football management and number that were reserved for a New York man who is to have as his guests that day number of the officers Of the British fleet that is visiting New York.
 No such order as that referred to was received, it was stated, and the tickets were sold so as to avoid the hands of speculators as much as possible, and sold at schedule prices, on two-dollar scale. ss
 Spectators were about last evening with theater tickets, one at least hav- ing bunch that looked to contain probably twenty-five or more. They

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-03-08

A New York dispatch says there is
slight hope that anything will come of
the current agitation against Stand
ard Oil beyond gratifying an excusa-
BILE curiosity as to the methods of that
mvsteriOuSly managed business colos-
sus. Standard Oil has grip on the
machinery for the manipulation, sale
and distribution of petroleum and its
products which cannot be shaken. No
investigation can compel the Standard
Oil company to buy what it doesn't
want any more than dry goods mer-
chant or wholesale grocer can be
compelled to lay in stocks of goods he
NAV think he has no use for or that
he NAV not wish to take on. At the
same time the publicity following as
il does upon the heels of Tom Law
sons attacks upon the System" may
result in an exposure of multi-million-
aire hoggishness which will not be
entirely agreeable to those against
whom the criticism may be directed.

VIGOROUS IS COL, W|LNNSON'S COMP LIANT
Former Civ Attorney Writes of Matters That Are of
Public Interest. Calls Attention to Ordinances
That Seem to Have Been Forgotten

cross arms for the police call and fire
alarm system of the town?
The answer is too plain. The city
council, through its executive officer
or officers, has permitted breach OF
the law, the violation of which is to
the financial interests of one of their
number. But the evil grows, and that
luxuriantly.
The superintendent of the electric
light plant during his tenure of Office
has daily blown, or caused to be
blown, the electric light plant whistle,
to the discomfort of all the inhabitants
of that part of the city. Upon being
approached and asked: ''Why do you
persistantly violate the law of this
town by blowing that whistler he
replied: II am doing that as a
courtesy to the linemen who are at
work on the telephone system. do
YOU consider it a courtesy to violate
the law?' was asked. "Well, was
the reply, Il do not intend to Kill the
linemen who are at work on the tele-
phone system by starting the plant
without notice to them, and so long as
the chairman of the electric light com
mittee so orders [ will obey his in
structions." These facts were made
known to a majority of the present
board of aldermen, but the whistle IS
still blown; and that in violation of
the law.
On the night of February 10th. or
l1th., last. at 7 o'clock p. m. the
electric light plant was shut down and
the fires put out. That was dark
NIGHT. there were no candles to be
purchased in town, oil was not for
sale at that time of the night, and
many citizens were without either
and for lights in their homes We're
compelled to resort to a torch. The
s1perintendent of the plant reported
that there was no reason for the
shutting down of the plant save that
if was done by order of the Chairman
of the Electric Light Committee; that
/ the running of the plant that night
would have ruined the telephone eX-
change. So a public servant orders
the public machinery stopped, thereby
discommoding the whole public, sub
iactino individuals to financial loss
and the city to probable damage suits
in untold amount Why? Simply to
protect private property which has
been ieopardized probably by a
Collation. of the law. AS a saving
| clause however, this superintendent
added that ''next day [ saw the
members of the council about it and
explained to them my action, and 1t
was all right.
Surely, surely, the executive officers
of our municipal administration must
know that public office is public
trust which the people have right to
have executed exclusively for the pub
lie benefit, to which end an impartial,
uniform application and enforcement
of our laws is demanded. Let US nave
that and nothing less.

GREATEST CATTLE RANCH IN THE WORLD
It Is Owned by Mexican and Upon It's Praries Roam
Nearly Two Million Cows, Sheep and Horses.
Million Dollar Farm House"

since that time he has enhanced the
quality of his cattle by inducing over
1000 bulls of the best breeds from the
famous studs of Europe and the Unit
ed States.
Extraordinary as is the extent of
his acreage in the Chihuahua ranch
there is not enough of native pastur-
age for his myriads of cattle. In the
past years during seasons of drought
thousands of them have famished for
water or starved to death upon the
ashen wastes, where the trOpic sun had
shriveled and burned the thin carpet
of para grass upon which the range
creature must subsist. Then Terrazas
began to acquire leagues upon leagues
of land in the cannOns of IturbideS
Braves, Galeona and GuerrO, de-
tached ranches upon which he was
able to distribute hundred of thous-
ands of animals. 1t is estimated now
that his holdings in Mexico aggre-
cate over fifteen million acres, and
that his wealth in live stock, land,
factories, banks and equipment is
more than $1,000, 900 of American
money.
Don Luis Terrazas is easily the
richest man in Mexico He served
one term as governor of Chihuahua,
but public life is not to his taste. He
is never so happy as when in a saddle
riding over his beloved ranch or sit
ting in his noble residence with his
sons and daughters.
The sons are associated with their
father in the banking and in the man
agement-of the big packing plant at
Chihuahua, and in the operation of
the ranch. They have all spent sea-
son or two travelling over Europe, and
the daughters of the house are said to
be among the most beautiful women
of the republic. The sons and
daughters of Terrazas seem to have
inherited all of the ldiffidence and do
nestle modesty of their parents.
Neither society or politics can tempt
them from the peace and comfort OF
home life, and they devote all of their
time and energy to the affairs of their
own families and the upbuilding upon
the most advanced lines of the great
est cattle and farming ranch the world
has ever known.-ChicagO Tribune.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-03-08

The biggest cattle ranch in the world
is that of Don Luis Terrazas in the
state of Chihuahua, Mexico.
Its greatest extent from north to
south is $50 miles and from east to
west 200 miles. 1t contains about
eight million acres, and upon its pra-
ries, mesas. mountains and barancas
roam 1000, 600 cattle, 700, 900 sheep
and 100, 900 horses.
The Terrazas homestead is undoubt-
edly the finest ''farm house" in the
world. for it cost 81, 900, 900 in Mexican
money, and next to Chapultepec is
the most richly furnished castle in
the republic The marble with which
it is lavishly embellished was brought
from Italy, and one hundred European
workmen and artists labored for the
fulfillment of the rich owners idea of
a home.
A hundred servants, gardeners,
farmers and vaqueros are quartered
at Quinta Carolina, which is the name
of this sumptuOus farm home, and
scattered about the vast estate OF Ter
razas are more than 1000 hOrsemer,
COW punchers, line riders, shepherds
and hunters. The outlaying stations
or ranch houses are one hundred in
number, and each is the center OF ac-
tivitv for the surrounding divisions
of the vast ranch.
The Terrazas ranch is the only one
in the world that maintains its own
slaughtering and packing plant and
its establishment in the city of Chi
huahua, at the edge of the big farm,
is the only enterprise of that kind in
Mexico. Every year 1000 cattle
with the Terrazas brand upon their
hides are slaughtered, dressed and
packed in this plant, and in some
wears as many as $4,000 sheep have
been handled in the same manner.
Don Luis, the master of the great
rancho, is not satisfied with the vast
wealth rapidly accruing from his
herds, focks and fields. He has an
ambition to teach his countrymen the
modernized method of farming.
Ten years ago Don Luis Terrazas
took the first steps toward increasing
the number and raising the standard
of his herds by importing the best
blood of Scotland, England and the
United States. A power with the gov
eminent of the republic, he succeeded
in having repealed the import tax
upon standard registered cattle, and

DAWSON, GA, March 4. -Editor
Dawson News: Lnotice in last week S
issue of your paper that there is much
complaint of the non-enforcement of
the ordinance against the blowing of
Whistles in the incorporate limits of
the city of Dawson.
On the 9th day of June, 1899, the
mayor and aldermen of the city OF
Dawson passed an ordinance contain
Ing the following language:
ut shall be unlawful for any person
Or persons to use the electric light
poles or any part of the electric light
system OF the city of Dawson for any
purpose whatsoever except for the
electflc wiring of the city and for fire
alarm wires for the use of the city,
ana torno other purpose whatsoever. "
Thereafter, on December 4th, 1899,
'he mayor and aldermen granted a
Franchise to the Dawson Telephone
Exchange, under which that exchange
was authorized to erect poles and
MAINTAIN a telephone system in the city
Vi Dawson, and STIMULATING as a con-
uuon OF this gift that this exchange
should place on each telephone pole a
'IoSS arm exclusively for the use OF
"7 city In maintaining a police call
anu Ilre alarm system; and further,
Ia' TINS exchange was subject to the
laws then existing and such as there
'er would be made.
VI September ,, 1902, the mayor
'Du aldermen passed what is known
% me whistle ordinance. " This Ordi-
nance IS supposed to prohibit the blow
lIs OF All steam whistles in the city
DAWSON, except in case of fire in the
immediate vicinity"
Inc electric light system is public

lazy places and for some time have
y a,s1 used and are now being used by

I'd a1alr is an open violation of the
'Iunance of this municipality as well
we terms of the franchise by which
telephone system exists. Why,
p"l De asked, does not the electric

STANDARD OIL GRIP is HARD TO SHAKE

hard things against the Standard Oil

OBJECTS TO NEW COURT
JUDGE SPEER DOES NOT WANT TO

Clay Called at White House to
Find He Had Written President.
A Washington dispatch says Judge
Emory Speer objects to the bill which
recently passed both houses of con-
gress providing that a term of the
United States court may be held at
Albany.
This bill was originally introduced
by Representative Griggs for the con-
venience of Albany and six contiguous
counties in the southern district,
Senator Clay and Representative
Griggs called at the white house ex-
pecting the president to sign the bill.
To their surprise they were informed
that Judge Speer had written letter
protesting against the additional duty
which will be imposed upon him in
the southern division of his district.
He states that he now holds court at
Savannah, Macon and Valdosta, and
urges the president to investigate the
subject fully before signing the bill.
The president said under the circum-
stances he would have to look into the
matter, but assured Senator Clay and
Judge Griggs that he would sign the
bill unless some good reason exists
for different action.

REGIMENT OF NEGROES LED
GIVEN PLACE OF HONOR By TED
DY AT HIS INAUGURATION.
Dusky Troopers Were With Roosevelt

Elevation to High Office Possible.

at San Juan Battle, and Made His
Elevation to High Office Possible.
The most important position in the
parade, which was the real event of
the inaugural exercises Saturday, was
given to negro regiment of the regular
army. The Ninth cavalry headed the
whole procession, and behind these
dusky troopers marched the civic and
military organizations composing the
balance of the parade. This position
of honor was accorded the Ninth cav
airy at the presidents suggestion.
He was doubtless moved to this by the
memory of the San Juan battlefield,
upon which the negro Ninth played
such conspicuous part, and indeed
made possible the elevation of ROose-
welt to the highest Office in the land.
1t is fact not to be overlooked that
had it not been for the Ninth cavalry
some other man than Theodore Roose-
welt might have been the principal
figure in the inaugural exercises Sat
urday. For this reason, perhaps,
there has been less criticism than
would otherwise have been lodged
against the assignment of the negro
troopers to the place of honor in the
parade. The regiment was transport
ed all the way from Fort Riley, Kan,
to participate in the event.
