IHE REAL STATUS
 OF THE CANAL DEAL
The Board of Trade nailes Inquiry of
 Water Users Governors.

The directors Of the board of trade
 held special meeting yesterday after
 Heen, as announced in yesterday morn
 ins's paper. The result of the confer
 ence was the authorizing of the ap-
 p@intment Of a committee, the person.
 nel of which has not yet been an
 nounced, to wait upon the board of
 governors of the Water Users associa-
 tion at it's meeting next Monday morn
 ing. The subject under discussion by
 the directors of the board of trade was the propriety of approaching the board
 of governors with it's views concern ing the attitude of the people generally in respect of the purchase of the hold ings of the Arizona Water Go. As fn- dicated by the appointing of the com mittee, they decided that such a con- ference could at least do no harm.
 1t is undeni3ble that there is a large citizenship which is restless under the seeming delay and loss of valuable time ensuing from what appears to those not within the inner councils. to be a game of diplomacy on both sides that may be well played and for ie git innate purposes, but is nevertheless time consuming. These people are of the opinion that the time is more yalu- able than any financial differences that may exist between the valuations placed upon the property by tsae par ties to the diplomacy, namely the Wa ter com pany and the Water Users as- sociation. They contend that it is better to pay to the water company for it's property even more than the prop eFty Is worth, in order to eliminate it from the field and hasten the inaugu- ration of government work at the AFi- Zona canal head. Tine water company seems to be doing nothing toward per- repairs on the dam, leaving the fear that in the event of high water it's temporary structure will be washed away, leaving that acreage un- der the Arizona canal without water Eext season, when a good supply Is particularly desirable to enable thor ough testing of the sugar beet indus

MORE INSURANCE CRAFT.
On1ciaIs of Metropolitan Life Go
 Easy Loans From Company.

OniciaIs of Metropolitan Life Col
 Easy Loans From Company.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-More expo sures of shameful insurance grating came to light when the legislative in vestigating committee placed John RI Hegeman, president of the Metropoli tan Life Insurance company. on the griddle and made him tell about his borrowings from his own corporation how he got large sums of money from his own cash box at absurdly low rates of interest and how these loans werf temporarily restored at the first oi each year, so that a good showing would be made in the company's an nual report.
 It was shown that other officials of the Metropolitan had followed their presidents lead in this method of easy graft. and openings were made for fur ther probing by Charles E. Hughes al a future session of the investigation.
 President Hegeman told the Arm strong committee that in tine last eight years the Metropolitan Life had volunI tarily given Ss.OO0.OO0 to policy holders who had no claims on the surplus.
 President Hegeman looks the most picturesque man in the insurance game Contrasted with John A. Mccall, with whom he is on record ss having traded notes, he makes a remarkable figure.
 Mccall is sleek. well groomed and pink. Hegeman is long haired, gray and swarthy.
 Tall and massive. like McCurdy of the Mutual. he lacks the distinguished appearance of the great head of q clan.
 His big head is adorned with long bent locks of iron gray that hang be- low his coat collar.
 Ills Is a figure that Is rarely seen in the financial district. even though ht is a man who considers a s5OO,OOC loan . mere bagateIle.

He also stated that all the propl erty owners had signed it except thd McMahOns. It goes through the gol1 links, and when. Commissioner Browrl heard this he shrugged his shouldera and remarked that 1t had better waid till the other fellows come In. Afted some further discussion 1t was del cided to order it transmitted to the all dermen without comment. The natl ter of getting things in shape for thd granting of the application of the troll ley company to lay rails in the Thom1 aston road was referred to the en-I gineer. A petition for an electric sign at Up-| hams pharmacy in North squarel brought out the fact that some arel maintaining signs contrary to the ordinances. Superintendent of Mel chanical Construction David Meth of the trolley company explained what was wanted, but in the opinion of the board the application could not bd granted because the building in quesI ton extends up to the street line and the sign would project farther ovef the walk than the law allows. Mt Jackson thought it time to decide uporr something about these signs. "We havd refused Acly Castle to put sign it front of his place on South MairL street." continued the commissioned and we wouldn't let barber put ona up in Brooklyn, but I notice Sap,, Greenburg has one cooked in front of his shop and somebody else put one up on Grand street and asked permlss sion from nobody. Some of these clocks are nuisance. On one sids. they are pretty near right, but per-, son coming the other way would b{l misled, for there is often half day's difference between the figures on tn. two sides. The superintendent of streets was instructed to remove obI structions and don't see why he has not done it. Somebody remarked thai the superintendent would be busy from now on if he knocked down ths whole of them, whereupon Mir Jackson replied: Let him get busy for 4 while. There should be some systeng about these things so that one marl cannot do something on the publi4 streets without consulting anybody and then have this board turning dowI people who come, here and show dis position to comply with the ordinance.I The petition was granted subject td the provisions of the ordinance, whicl was practically the same as sayin1 you can't do it.
 The petitioners for relief from sun1 face water in the vicinity of ManhaI and Waterville streets were givcr leave to withdraw.
 1t was nearly II o'clock when tho. board got to the estimates. There IF no material difference in the total ana that of last years. A new item or $15,O00 appears for Improvements or South Main street from City Corner, southerly. The idea is to widen thf street from that point and construct f, suitable retaining wall between th{f roadway and the river as far as sucl-, precaution is necessary. i,

There are two members Of the racing
fraternity, both ardent horse owners,
whose early education was sadly e
lected, and neither can read. Both
conceal to the best Of their ability their
shortcomings in this regard. One of
them received a telegram the other
day, but he could not read it and did
not wish to expose his ignorance. He
met the second horseman. and as he
was looking anything but pleasant he
was accosted with:
whats the matter? You look like
trouble"
Trouble? Sure. Just read that"
And he thrust the telegram into his
friends hands.
Well, 1 should say it was troublev'
was the unexpected reply. I'm sorry
for you, old fellow" And the tele,
gram was handed back, neither beins
any wiser as to its contents.
At this juncture a stable boy came
whistling along, and the recipient of
the message hailed him with a 1ocular
remark and after quizzing him awhile
said:

"Huh, that's where you're way off!
I KIN read as good as you kin"
We'll. let's hear you read that. If
yooYs can it's a two bit piece for you"

message denoted trouble.-San Fran

them away to their rooheries- There in

Toward springtime, when they begin
thinking about setting their houses in
