constituents are taking a keen inter-

a natural consequence.
The attitude of Senator Lodge has

close friends that he is about con-

as exemplified by the bill he intro
duced last week. II is not expected
the bill will be passed, because all
revenue legislation must originate in
the house, but 1t will serve as a feeler
of sentiment in the senate.
There is probably no chance that
anything will actually he accomplish

of the growing sentiment in both
senate and house, the country is like

to The Citizen:

Special to The Citizen:
Washington, D. c., Dec. lS.-It was
all very well for President Roosevelt
and Speaker Cannon TO make a COM
pact whereby rate legislation was to
be pushed to the front and tariff re-
vision to the rear, but the president
and the speaker cannot control indi-
vidual and unofficial expressions of
opinion. In the house and senate lob
bies and other places where states
men congregate tariff is discussed
about as much as railroad rates.
The program agreed upon by the
president and the speaker will be car
ried out, OF course. Mr.. Roosevelt
already has fulfilled his part of the
bargain by keeping the soft peGll on
the discussion of tariff in his mes
sage. Mr.. Cannon will keep faith by
putting the rate bill through the
house, although nothing will be done
now until after the holiday C e
In the meantime, the spectre of tar
if revision haunts the dreams of
Uncle joe His ~lieutenants, upon
whom he depends for information as

members are talking tariff more and
LAOIe edCN Nd9' anu ludL lu6fe Is De-
ing crystaliZed a belief that some
thing has got TO be done by the re-
publican party, else the people will
turn the job over To the democrats.
Next year will occur a congressional
ELECTION, and more than one member is
growing anxious about the folks at
home view of the stand-pat policy of
the house powers-that-be.
1t was thought Cannon had played
a trump card when he took Jim
Tawney from ways and means and
placed him at the head of the com
mittee on appropriations. Tawney
has been an out and out revisonist
aud the speaker feared that on ways
and means he would give too much
thought to tariff matters. II is said,
however. that as the head of appro-
~priations, Tawney is beginning 10
study the tariff from the view point
of treasury receipts, and Is more than
ever convinced that revision of the
schedules Is necessary. Tawney prob
ably will not make any trouble during
the present session; but the joke,
nevertheless, would seem to be on the
speaker.

WASHINGTON HEATED AND
CALLED BY CONDUITS

An oft-talked of, but nevertheless,
novel proposition is embodied in a
bill which has been introduced in
congress for Incorporating the Eco
nomic Heating and Refrigerating
company, which is to have an author
lzed capital of 81 900, 600. The scheme
is to pipe the streets Of Washington
and from a central point distribute
heat in winter and cold air in sum
mer. The feature that makes the
measure worthy of attention, how
ever, is that wealthy men, street rail-
way magnates and other practical
men OF affairs, are named as the in
corpOrators.
The men whose names appear as
applicants for the charter are abund-
antly able to finance any undertaking
they go into to the extent of a great
deal more than a million dollars. and
the fact that they have applied to
congress for incorporation is evil
dence that they have figured out the
thing as commercially practical.

Berlin. Dec. lS.-Control of private
life insurance societies in Germany is
~intrusted to the ministry for the inte-
rior. About a dozen permanent men,
bers of this office are appointed by
the kaiser on the advice of h federal
council. and none of them may be in
any way connected with any insurance
society. They retain their posts for
life and have an excellent retiring
pension. To meet technical Difficult
ties. they are assisted by an advisory
board, AS directors of insurance COM
panies.
No new company can commence
business in Germany before II has
obtained permission. ILe imperial
control Office requires every life in
surance society to keep its books in
a certain way. 1t has the right to ex-
anime every book and document relat-
ing to the balance sheet. The most
minute attention is given to the re-
serve funds. These have t be kept
perfectly distinct, especially the pre-
MUM reserve fund. The officials as
sure themselves Of the actual exist
ence Of every specified item i'm the lir
of items. No portion of this fund may
be removed from the place where it
is kept without the authority Of the
control office, upon penalty of fine and
Imprisonment.
An equally careful control is kept
over the directors fees, the invest
ments, loans, mOrtgages-in short,
over everything that affects the inter
ests of the insurers. The directors
cannot. without the sanction Of the
imperial control Office, engage In any
other commercial pursuit. These gen.
tlemen can be called upon to make
good any losses falling on the insurers
in consequence Of any ir~regularity in
the administration of the society's
property and funds. Violations of the
regulations mean that the company
must quit business.
One result of this careful control is
that German life insurance compan-
les are managed comparatively cheap
ly. The balance sheet for 1904 of n
large Berlin society shows hat with a
premium revenue of S2,500,000, the
administrative expenses amounted TO
S2S0,000. including rent, takes, sal

CONTIGUOUS PLAN DOES
NOT PLEASE THEM ALI

There is a good deal Of difference
of opinion in congress over Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou's ruling that
fourth class postmasters shall be con-
tinued in office beyond the four-yeaT
term, provided their services have
been satisfactory. This practically
places the fourth class postmasters
under the civil service and deprives
members of congress of about all the
patronage they had remaining. Mem
bers representing city districts are
not, of course, personally interested,
but many members from rural dis
tricts have their organizations con-
structed with the fourth class post
masters as the foundation, and they
are In a good deal Of doubt as to how
the new order of things is going to
work out.
A large number of members pro-
fess to rejoice that they are to be re-
lieved of the VeXatiOns which attend
the appointment of fourth class post
masters, while others see all sorts
of trouble ahead of them when the
postmasters awake to a realization of
the fact that their tenure of office
no longer depends upon the favor of
their congressman.

EMBASSY BUILDINGS FOR
BOTH LONDON AND PARIS.

Despite the strong demand for re-
trenchment in public expenditures, a
bill introduced into the house by Mr..
Perkins of New York, providing for
the purchase of homes for our en-
bassies in London and Paris, is going
to receive serious consideration, with
the chances strongly in favor of it's
passage. The bill limits the cost of
each embassy to $4,000.
The opinion has been forming for
some years that the United States be-
Titled itself by the policy of COM
Polling its diplomatic representatives
to live in rented and often unsatis-
factory quarters and there now is a
well defined sentiment both in and
out of congress that permanent homes
should be provided. 1t is not pro-
posed. however, to provide for all the
capitals at once, and the Perkins bill
Is intended merely as a starter.
The measure introduced by Mr.,
Perkins is understood to have the ap-
proval of both the president and Sec
rotary of State Root, and an earnest
effort will be made to secure its pas
sage.

TARIFF REFORM, OR THE
DEMOCRATS WILL RETURN.

Strange as it would seem. revision
sentiment is about as strong in The
senate as ii is among the members of
the house. The argument is along
the same lines, that unless the re-
publicans overhaul the schedules
there is likely TO be a democratic
landslide. Senators, of course, are
less sensitive To public opinion than
members of the. house, but they are
coming more and more to have regard
for what the people think. Some re-
cent object lessons have tended to
increase this regard. Ohio is a case
in point. An overwhelming majority
in the state legislature has been rem
dered very close, even if the demo-
Gratis do not succeed in controlling
that body. II Is true that there will
be no election of a senator by the
presnt legislature. but the same thing
might very well have happened in a
senatorial year.
The present senators who are
strong for revision are cullom Of Ini-

PROCTOR WILL RETIRE TO
GIVE HIS SON a CHANCE

Announcement a few days ago that
Senator Proctor of Vermont proposes
to resign his seat in the senate and
retire from public life, brings to light
a story very unusual in politics. SEN
ator Proctor has a son who is am
bilious politically, and he wants, first
of all, to be governor of Vermont. He
was a candidate before the last state
election, but the cry OF TOO much
Proctor was raised, and he failed OF
the nomination.

that his political ambition is salts
fled, and in order that he may no
longer prove an obstacle to his sons
advancement, he proposes TO step
down and out.

TAWNEY STRONG FOR
CHEESE-RIND PAIRING,

Mr.. Tawney, the new chairman of
the committee on appropriations, of
the house, has declared himself for a
sweeping policy of retrenchment. He
doesn't propose to let a dollar gee

be tagged. Estimate will be knitted
without stint and the cry of cheese
pairing" Mr.. Tawney says, is not go
ing to faze him.
After a careful study of the situa-
ton, those responsible in congress for
the preparation of appropriation bills,
v conclued that no very far reach
ing r~etrenchment can be effected in
million dollar Jumps. There are a
number of big ways in which money
can be saved, of course, but it is the
little leaks that will have to be stop
ped If the treasury deficit is to be
wiped out. Opportunity for two big
retrenchments are presented, and
Speaker Cannon and his |lieutenants
have about decided that there shall
be neither a rivers and harbors bill
nor a public buildings bill. Appropri-
atoms will be made, probably, in the

on projects now under way, but no
new projects will be authorized. 1t
is hoped, also, that a million dollars,
in round numbers, can be saved on
the public printing bills, and there is
a strong sentiment in favor of hold
ing up the naval program so far as
1t relates to the authorization of new
vessels; but here the opportunity for
big savings practically ends. The

coNeREssMEN BARRED FROM
CORPORATION SERVICE,

Not much notice was taken Of a
bill, introduced early in the session by
Representative Fuller Of Illinois, max
ing 1t an offense, punishable by a fine,
and imprisonment, for any senator or
representative to hold office in OF be
employed by any corporation or other
joint stock company; but if that bill
ever gets out of committee and up for
debate in the house, there will be
some of the liveliest hours in the
history of congress.
The bill is intended to strike at the
very root of corporation graft and
there is no denying its enactment in

measure has been discussed more or
less in the cloak rooms, m a good

A great deal of work is being done

HAWAII THE BEAUTIFUL
 MIR. PEARSON'S LECTURE
An Interested Audience at the First
 Ii. E. Church.

The lecture of Rev. George L. Pear son at the First M. E. church last night on Hawaii the Beautiful" was one of the most interesting platform events heard in this city for a long time. The lecture was not only a de- light in itself, but the personality of the speaker was especially pleasing in that it was his first meeting with host of old friends for something over eight years. Dr. Pearson, who is one of the most prominent members of the California conference of the M. F. church, was formerly the pastor of this church for several years and in that capacity became well known and greatly esteemed by the townspeople generally, whether members of his congregation or not. Since then he has lived in Honolulu most of the time un- til very recently, having charge of the church work there.
 He was introduced last night by MT. Lloyd Christy. who appropriately mentioned the former connection of Dr. Pearson with the church, and in behalf of the audience welcomed him back to Phoenix. Dr. Pearson during his absence has not changed in ap- pearance, except that the silver is be- ginning to make its appearance in his beard, adding a bit more of the dignity of age, but in no degree lessening his genial good nature. There were be- tween two and three hundred people present, which was considered a large audience, in view of the fact that there were meetings of one kind or another in several of the large churches, beside | secular amusement attractions of more ; than usual merit. Many of his Phoa- | nix friends who could not hear him i last night will, however. have an op- portunity to see him on Sunday as he [ will fill the pulpit both morning and i evening. At the evening service he ! will speak on religious work in Ha- [ waii.
 Last nights lecture was descriptive | mainly of the Hawaii of today, which | though lacking some of the novelty | and romance of the olden time before | civilized customs had been adopted. is | nevertheless more beautiful than ever | Much was told of the climate, the l vegetation of the island, both naturally | and by cultivation, the natural fruits and foodstUffs, the character of the | cities and great deal concerning the | customs of the country. There was | reference to the topography of the | country, it's scenic attractions and its | possibilities.
 Considerable attention was given to the manner of life in the leper colony, which he had visited. The poor unfor- tunates have done much to make their lives as comfortable as possible and | the government and churches and oth- CT charitable institutions have assist ed. Among other things is a Y. M c. A. building for the benefit of the lep II CTS. II
 But little reference was made to the | history of the islands, present condi- tions being of greater interest. The F speaker said conditions had greatly II improved since the islands came under ! American rule and greater things are hoped for.

decayed. A careful investigation fail ed to show any marks of identifiCa- tion and the pockets in the clothing were likewise empty.
 After viewing the body the coroner's s jury returned to Naco and rendered a verdict that an unknown man had come to his death from the effects of a gunshot wound administered in the back by parties or party to them un- known.
 Aftr the body was brought to Bis bee another examination was ma5e for some clew that would lead to identifi- cation, but nothing was found. That a cold blooded murder was committed is the opinion of the officers, but there has been no one reported missing and it is the theory of the officers that the man was a stranger in the country and was lured to this spot and then killed for his money.
 The body presented a horrible sight as it lay in the morgue. The skin had begun to fall away and the hands to shrivel. The face of the dead man was past recognition, and up to the hour of going to press, his identity was still unknown.
