SURE FIGHT TO FINISH WITH
THE ODDS AGAINST ROOSEVELT 7
Railroads and Their Senator'S Defy President and
Public Opinion on Subject Of Rate Legislation,
With No Sign of Compromise.

viii the railway interests dare TO
defeat the administrations rate pro-
gram. in view of the recent political
happenings, in the light of the growth
of government ownership sentiment,
and in the face of the almost certainty
that the next presidential campaign
will be fought on a platform which
will have government ownership of
railways as its principal plank?
Apparently they do, and will dare.
This matter was put squarely to the
man who, in Washington. is recog-
nized as the head and front Of the
railway lobby. He replied:
"The question amounts to this:
Are the railway interests frightened at
the threat which President Roosevelt
himself has made of something
worse in case this plaza is defeated? g?
would answer sOberly and after the
fullest consideration, no
Admitting that the supposition is
correct; admitting that the next pres
idential campaign is TO divide the
country on issues of radicalism and
conservatism, government ownership
of railways and private freedom OF
property, | still say that the alterna-
tive is to be preferred to the one
which We are asked TO accept in this
legislation. The railway interests do
not fear such campaign.
I'VE feel no doubt as 10 the out
come. In any issue which may be
made between ultra radicalism and
conservatism, the latter will win. The
cities may fly of the handle, but the
farmers won't, and they outvote the
cities "

Roswell, N. NJ, Dec. 1.-The Daily
Record today published an interest
ing interview with Herbert J. Hager-
man, New Mexico's next governor,
who has declared himself for joint
statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona. The interview shows that Mr..
Hagerman has thoroughly mastered
the subject, and that personally as
well as officially he is a great acqui-
sition to the ranks of active joint
statehood advocates.
Those who are with Mr.. HagermaD
in this matter, and they comprise a
very large majority of the people in
the Pecos valley, are greatly elated
at the stand he has taken and az his
thorough familiarity with the subject.
They predict his influence will be felt
in Washington to great purpose.
The banquet to Mr.. Hagerman by
his fellow citizens of Roswell last
night was a grand success. as feast
of reason and flow of soul, as well as
in its material appointments.

They are Burned to Death
in a Burning
Boat.
ONLY ONE AWAKED IN TIME
No Indictments Found For
Death OF Stewart
PierSOn.
JURY COULD NOT LEARN GUILTY

Mobile, Ala, Dec. r--Nine persons,
whose names are unknown, occupying
a pull boat" on the river which runs
between the Kansas and Alabama
rivers. met a terrible fate early today,
all being burned to death In a fire
that destroyed the boat.
Sidney Wheat, a negro steward, was
the only survivor of the ten men who
lived on the boat. Wheat escaped
death by being awake owing to ILL
ness. The cracking of burning tim
bers warned him in time. and he es-
capped just q the high structure of the
boat collapsed.
A pull, or house boat, upon which
the men were engaged in getting out
logs from narrow places for rafting
purposes, is constructed similar to a
dredge boat. How the fire started is
unknown.
