A BIG STOCKHOLDER
The United States Joins the Apprsp-
riators Canal Company.

The Appropriations Canal company
received a telegram from the depart
ment of the interior on Saturday night
saying that the United States would
become a stockholder in the company.
1t came about in this way: The course
of the canal lay through an eighty
acre tract forming a part of the In
dian school reserve north east of the
city. In fact, the canal will pass
diagOnally through the tract. This was
matter of much concern to the Appro-
priators for the condemnation of this
land was out of the question. They
were also afraid that their application
to the department to pass through it
would meet with opposition at the
hands of the Arizona Water company.
What they intended to do had to be
done quietly and application was made
some time ago for a right of way.
1t was further feared that the de-
partment though it might grant it III
the end would hold up the application
for a long time thus delaying the work
which the Appropriations are so anxious
to complete. The work of building the
canal had almost reached the east line
of the reserve on Saturday and there
was a fear that a gap would have to
be left. That would certainly have
called attention to the fact which
seems to have been overlooked that
the canal had to pass through the tract.
The telegram of Saturday evening
announces that the right of way will
be granted and that the government
will take stock in the canal company
as compensation for the land. This
was more than the Appropriations had
hoped for.
The pgOpriatOrs' Canal company
is now something in the nature of a
public institution. Beside the farm
ers who went into it in the beginning
and the United States which has just
sisnified its Willingness TO come in,
the territory, the county of MaricOpa
and the city OF Phoenix are stockhold-
ers. The city is in for more than
400 acres Of land and the county and
the territory for each more than 100

THE PIONEER BAND
It's Work Warmly Appreciated by
PhOenicianS.

That the efforts Of the Pioneer band
land their Sunday night concerts are
appreciated is best testified to by the
hundreds Of people who attend the
same on every occasion. However. this
manner of showing their appreciation
is not the only way for hardly a week
passes that George L. Cole, the leader
of the band does not receive a letter,
some signed and some not. written by
some one who has attended one of the
concerts thanking the band for an
evening Of pleasure they had given the
writer. Often requests are mailed
that some SPECIAL piece be played and
several times some particular number
has been especially praised. For five
weeks the band has not been able to
have a practice on account of the num-
Der Of the members who have been
away but with the beginning of winter
new pieces will be learned and the
band in many ways made even better
than it is.
In connection with the band it is
interesting to note that one of the ads
of Venice, a southern California resort
claims that it's band is made up of
musicians from the large cities Of the
east. Such may be the case but it is
also true that in the Venice band this
summer seven OF the Pioneer Band
boys have been playing and of these
two learned to play in the Phoenix or
ganization. 1t does not speak i'll of
the California. band but shows that 10
cal players are at par with the best.

AN INJUNCTION SUIT
Stopped the Meeting OF q Mining
Company.

An injunction suit was recently filed
in the district court, having for its
lobject the holding up of a stockholders
meeting in the city not long ago of the
United States and Mexico Development
company. The meeting was to be held
on July 20, but on that date it was
adjourned TO Aug. 5.
The plaintiff in the suit is s. Charles
Pratt. who is alleged to be the heaviest
individual stockholder of the company
and also a creditor of the corporation.
The defendant is Roy s. Goodrich, the
agent of thee ompany. Commissioner
Woodward ordered a temporary writ to
issue and soon after service was OBJ
tanned on Mr.. Goodrich.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the plaintiff is the owner of 1886 shares
Of the company and is the owner Of
$4,000 of the first mortgage bonds on
the property of the company.
The company formerly maintained
offices at No. 1875, Broadway, New
York. but the plaintiff said that they
had been closed for the last three
months and the plaintiff has been I'M
able to learn anything of the where
abouts Of the books and records Of the
company or the list of stockholders.
The plaintiff also charges that among
the instructions which the defendant
has received from President Hoch is
one TO the effect that the plaintiff at
the meeting shall be allowed no infor-
nation regarding the stockholders list.
The plaintiff also says that the defend
ant is not in possession of the books
and records and that if the meeting
should be held as planned the plain
tiff would be irreparably damaged.
Elsewhere in the complaint the amount
of the damage which would be sustain
ed by the plaintiff is fixed at $4,000
The property owned and controlled by
the company is in the southern part of
the territory of New Mexico.
Mr.. II. 3. Wilkinson Of the firm of
Chalmers and Wilkinson. attorneys for
the plaintiff, when seen in regard to
the injunction proceedings stated that
he was the attorney not only for Mr.
Pratt, but for a large number of stock
holders in Coldwater. Mich, and in and
around Worcester Mass. Mr. Pratt is
secretary of the company and that the
principal object Of the injunction was
to compel Mr.. Hoch, president of the
company, to produce the books of the
for examination by the stock
holders. st is believed that the injunc-
ton proceedings will have this effect.
but if not, it may be necessary to have
a receiver for the company appointed
in the interest of the stockholders.

which struck him might have been the

close to the rail. He had not been run
over. His skull on the left side was
crushed; there was a hole in the left
shoulder and the body shows bruises
on the back.
The sheriffs office was Informed and
Deputy Cunningham went out. He
said that the man was lying on the
road bed at the side of the track,
doubled up, the head partly hanging
over the grade which is about four feet
high at that point. He thought the
man breathed three or four times af-
ter his arrival He moved him and
heard a gurgling in the throat; after
that there was no breathing.

1t was at first thought that the man
was a Japanese. He had a heavy
shock of short black hair and a short
black mustache but he was later
identified at Merryman & Moores by
Eguenio Montenegro, a section hand
here. He said that he had seen Men
DEE on Saturday. night and he was
under the influence of liquor.
Mendez was a little more than thirty
years old. He came here three years
ago from FL Paso.
Before the Identification of the body
of Mendez and while it was yet thought
that he was a Japanese, several per-
sons of that nationality were sent for.
When they arrived and saw the body
they turned from il with an express
sion of disgust saying that ii was the
body of a common Mexican. They re-
scented even the installing of the man
for a Japanese. If this had happened
say two years ago. before Japan be-
came world power, the dead Mexican

CAUSED AN UPROAR.
Philadelphia City Councils Lease Gas
a.. Works to a Private
Company.

Philadelphia, May 19.-Amid scenes
OF disorder unprecedented in the an
nails of Philadelphia's legislative body,
both branches of the city council voted
to lease the city's gas works to the
United Gas Improvement company for
term OF Is years for the total sum
of 100000, the money to be paid in
various amounts before the end Of
1907. Council chambers and committee
rooms were crowded with excited citi-
zens protesting against the lease to
the United Gas Improvement company.
The climax was reached when the
vote in common council was an
nounced, after three hours of debate.
The moment President George McCur-
dy of the common council announced
the vote a great uproar was started in
the galleery: which was crowded to the
door. From all over the gallery came
Kisses and cries OF "Thieves!' The
outburst was somewhat startling to the
presiding officer, who made vain ef-
fort to quell it. Finally he sent for
a squad of police to clear the gallery.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto
the bill, and in that event both cham
bers will probably pass it over his
veto. The vote in the common council
was "a to 9, and in the select council,
81 to 4. There is only one democrat in
each body, and both voted against the
lease There is some talk among citi-
zens who fought the lease to take the
matter to the courts. 81.

AbAND0NS IDEA
OF extra Session
PRESIDENT SAID TO HAVE DE-
CIDED NOT TO CALL CON-
GRESS TOGETHER.
Has Been Assured That Rate Legisla-
ton Will Be Adopted at Next Reg
ular Session-Contempla South
ern Tour.

Washington, May 1S. - President
Roosevelts decision to make a southern
trip in October is believed to settle per-
manently the question of an extra ses-
sion of congress. Before the president
left Washington for the southwest his
mind was made up apparently irrevoca-
bly,, to assemble the Fifty-ninth con-
gress in extraordinary session not later
than October /, for the purpose of enact
ing railroad rate legislation along lines
that would insure permanent reform for
many of che evils of railway manage
ment. He was only dissuaded from call
ing an extra session Immediately follow
ing the adjournment of the Fifty-eighth
congress in March by promises of lead
ing republican senators and representa-
tives to support his legislative pro-
gramme so far as it applied to railroad
rates, if the call was delayed until Oc-
tober Now the president appears to
have voluntarily changed ihs pro-
gramme, and instead Of calling congress
here in October he will make a pro-
lorged tour of the southern states which
will keep him on the road at least three
weeks. He may decide to issue the call
for the 1st of November, but this is pure
ly conjectural.
Is Satisfied.
Senators and representatives who
keep in touch with his purposes are in
clined to believe that there will be no
extra session; that the president is sat-
is6ed that the Fifty-ninth congress will
heed the demand of the people for salts
factory railroad legislation and that a
bill can be passed as speedily at the reg
ular session as it could at a special ses-
sion. He has received positive assur-
ances from Senators Elkins, Cullom,
Dolliver, Clapp, Kean and other influen-
tial members of the committee on inter-
state commerce that bill will be re-
ported to the senate at the beginning of
the next congress, and that it will en-
body many needed reforms in keeping
with the presidents suggestions. All
this is very gratifying to Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t seems to assure the passage of satis-
factory bill next winter and the presi-
dent does not feel that he ought to ask
for more than that.
