 to old Methods.
 Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 30.-Major Isaac B. Brown, Secretary of Internal Ar fairs for 1905. and chief of the state Bureau of Railways. In his annual re- port for 1905 says there is no room lett to doubt the wisdom of the action of the railroads operating In Pennsyl- vania in abolishing the practice of is- suing passes. He discredited the sug- gestion that the elimination of free transportation is but a temporary mat ter, and says that the increased Federal and State supervision of railroads would prevent return to the old con ditions, even if the railroads desired to do so.
 ITO what extent the railroads have been imposed upon and to what degree the abuse of granting free transporta- tion has grown is best known to the managers of railroads" the report states, but no thoughtful observer has failed to note the unreasonable extent to which free transportation has been distributed to the favored few in times of political contests"

AARON MACK
WAS MURDERED
Condition of Corpse Found on
Desert Such as to Render
Any Other Belief
Impossible.

Whether or not Aaron Mack was
murdered, there is no doubt in the
minds of his friends that the circum-
stances surrounding his death are
sufficiently suspicious to warrant a
more searching investigation than
has so far been made.
Tue circumstances, so far as
known, are as follows:
Mack whose home is In Yreka,
California, came here several months
since and entered the employ of the
Goldield Telephone Company as line
man. After working there about
six weeks he left and afterwards
worked for the railroad company
with the bridge crew. Last Satur
day and Sunday he was drinking
some and Sunday evening had fight,
or scuffie, with Charles Fletcher, in
the rear of the Kentucky srloon, out
of which he is said to have come with
slight mark under his eye and
scratch on the foreeead
Wednesday morning his mutilated
remains were found in the sage
brush, some three miles flom town
under circumstances which could
leave no doubt in the minds of any
who saw the body and its condition,
that he came to his death as the re-
suit OF violence.
When seen at the morgue, the face
and head of the dead man presented
a most gruesome appearance, There
were suudry scratches and bruises
about the face, but the most serious
mark of violence was deep indenta
tion, which looked as il it had been
made by bar OF iron, or some other
blunt instrument, just above the left
| temple.
Evidences were plentiful of d
struggle il the vicinity Of the place
+ where he body was found, and the
t fact that two sets Of tracks led t.
the place where Mack died and only
, one led away fro n it Is significant
, fact.
Altogether the ma tier is one whict
; callsIfor prompt and vigorous action
Tue finding Of the coroners jury
that Mack came to his death through
causes unknown to the jury, is ON,
whie leaves the way open for TIN
consideration Of whatever evideuc,
may later be secured by the officers
; though the friends of the dead mat
: are much wrought up over it.

easily accessible, the roads being IN
