Announcement.
: +4444+4++++4
To the Voters Of the City OF Wash

burn.
In announcing my candidacy
for Mayor at the coming spring
election I believe it is fitting and
proper that the people should
know my attitude Oh questions
of vital Importance and Of great
moment to the city's welfare, no
greater question is involved nor
none more important than the
matter CT franchises and city
contracts. I believe in the
m unicipal ownership Of public
utilities. [ believe the time has
arrived when the people demand
an administration working to
this end. that they, the people
may operate and control their
own public institutions, and if
elected mayor pledge myself
to the people to use my best eff
forts, power and influence to &C
complish this result. | am NOT
in favor Of the granting of
franchise, or the extension of
same. My attitude and position
the past two years as a member
of the City council confirm this
statement.
l believe in economy in the
administration of puolic af-
fairs, but not economy to the ex-
tent of sitting progress and Of
being detrimental to the best in
terests of the city. I believe
the City Council ought to work
in conjunction and co operate
with the Com mercial Club in
their endeayors to secure bust
ness enterprises and permanent
industries for the city.
Very Respectfully,
M. M. SWEET.

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

There may be those who think
that Senator Elkins is too much
Of a corporation man to be really
interested in the control of the
railroads to the benefit of the
shippers, but such people can
look not only to the Elkins law,
so called. but to the amendment
he has prepared in regard to the
tributary roads as evidence to
the contrary. The resolution in
question will come up on the
floor of the senate as an amend
ment to the pending rate bill and
itstouches one of the most vital
features of the railroad situation
It says s'That carriers of inter-
state commerce shall upon ap-
plication put in all necessary
switches to meet the wants of
shippers, make prompt connect
ions and operating arrangements
with branch lines, reasonable
and just division of through
rates, and make reasonable and
just allowance to connecting
branch or lateral lines for origi.
mating freight. In the case of
refusal or failure on the part of
such carrier to provide proper
switches for shippers and to
make proper and suitable con-
nections with connecting, lateral
or branch lines, through rates
and division Of the same and just
and fair allowance for originating
freight, operating and running
arrangements, the difference be-
tween the parties shall be deter
mined by the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, and said car
rier shall abide by and carry in
to effect the decision of the Com
mission, and failing to do SO, the
commission is authorized to
compel the carrier to comply
with it's orders by proper pro-
ceedings in the Circuit Court of
the United States, situated in
such district through which the
carrier may run,
This provision is brought up
partly by the decision Of the
Supreme Courtin the case of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway
and partly by the complaint Of
the Red Rock Fuel Company of
West Virginia in connection with
the Baltimore and Ohio. The
whole question turns on the
possibility OF trunk line road,
starving one community at the
expense of another, and is thus
of interest to all parts of the
United States. It matters not
what the commodity is that is to
be hauled. 1t may be ore fro m
the mines, timber from the for.
ests, oil or farm products, the
trunk line roads have in the past
found very convenient method
of dealing with the shippers who
threatened to compete with the
territory they controlled.

If they were forced to put in the
S witches, they would fight the
smaller road on the question OF
rates and pro-rating and the
proper compensation for the
S mailer road originating freight
If all else failed. they would re
fuse to supply the tributary line
with cars, and if the lateral line
had the money ard the nerve tc
put in rolling stock of it's own,
the trunk line would scatter il
| to the four winds of heaven sc
that the line could not get it's
own cars if it wanted them.
All this maze of discrimination
would be practiced not because
the trunk line did not want the
business, but because it knew if
it kept up the fight long enough,
it would starve the small line
and the territory it served into
submission and would eventually
gobble not only the line, but the
mines, the timber, the ore and
the other commodities it trans
ported. The object of the
Hepburn bill is to corr ect this
state of affairs. 1t is an es-
sential amendment to the bill
and one that IS thoroughly in
line with the Presidents policy.
It will be urged on the floor of
the Senate and if all goes we'll
will be adopted. This has the
decision of the Supreme Court
in advance to back it up, and
while it is an amendment that
will go hard with a number of
the trunk lines, it is one so OBJ
viously fair that it can hardly be
opposed by the railroads with
any effect.
A bill with an insidious and
misleading title, namely "For
the prevention of cruelty to
ANIMALS while in transit" has
been reported favorably to the
senate. It is the bill of the
stock men and of the beef trust
and is urged by powerful lobby
and with strong financial back
ing. This bill for the proven.
tion of cruelty to animals while
in transit extends the time that
they may be held on cattle cars
without food or water from
twenty-eight hours to thirty-six
hours. That is the device for
the prevention of cruelty. Any
one can understand what it
means. The shock, the bewild.
erment, the fatigue, the thirst
and hunger of these animals
accustomed to the field must be
prolonged under this proposed
bill eight hours, as if twenty
eight hours is not enough for
animals accustomed to the free
dom of the fields and to eating
at least half their time. This
bill is proposed by the stockmen
and the beef trust who ride in
private cars or in Pullman cars
with dining car attached, com.
planning all the time of the hard
ships of travel. One of these
cattlemen while arguing before
the Interstate Commerce COM
mittee for the extention of time
from twenty eight to thirty-siS
hours, was asked by Mr.. Hep
burn, the chairman of the com
mittee, how much in weight an
animal would lose the first day
of shipment. His reply was,
81 j f y pounds. Assuming
that the animal weighs one
thousand pounds, this is five
per cent loss in twenty four
hours, and would be equivalent
to the loss of seven and a half
pounds for a man weighing one
hundred and f fly pounds.
Imagine the deprivation, the
strain and the agony that would

Cake With Diamond Trfmmlngs.
1t gives to the jewel lover a turn to
think of $1,000 ring lurking In a
cake, says the New York Press. This
was the experience Of Boston girl
recently. She decided to make her
wedding cake herself, and In the course
Of the operation she lost a big and
beauteous diamond from her finger.
She did not miss it until the cake was
finished. Fearing it had been lost in
the dough, yet not liking to disturb
this triumph Of culinary art, she call
ed the aid Of science and posed the
cake for an X-ray photograph. It was
found to be In the center Of the cake,
and though she was thankful that her
treasure was restored to her the mar
ring of the cakes smooth surface to
regain 1t was a sad event from the
careful housewives standpoint.

Young Frew, who is just out Of college,

ors began to suffer from lack Of exer-
else. Young Frew is a fine athlete and
knows more about boxing and Japa-
nese wrestling than many profession
ais So q wrestling mat was made of
several mattresses. The jurors all
know more about boxing and wrestling
today than they did before. Young
Frew also introduced foot racing
around the room and other physical
culture diversions until the men got all
the exercise they needed and had appe-
tites which cost tie county $3.50 for

In exchange for all this young Frew
was amply repaid by at least one of the
Jurors, who was barber Frew could
not shave himself, and the barber
juror consented to perform the task
each morning before breakfast. Dur
ing the eleven days confinement he
also gave young Frew, as we'll as sew
eral others, an up to date haircut.
The jurymen declare that they never
had finer companion than the million

much interested in the work.

FEELING IS TENSE.

RACE WAR
Fourth Day of Trouble Opens
With Situation Very Near
a Crisis.

Springfield, Mo-, April 1s.-sup-
pressed excitement prevailed all
classes here on the opening OF this.
the fourth day of the Springfield race
war. The arrest late yesterday Of half
a dozen men accused of completely in
Saturday nights lynching had had the
effect OF clearing the streets when
members of the mob who had openly
boosted of their participation in the
affair, began to realize that the state
and county officers had really COM
bined in an effort to prosecute all
offenders. Then the people had again
been intlamed with the mob spirit
when it became generally known that
another negro had beenl killed, this
time by a white boy in self defense.
This tense feeling was still apparent
when the morning came. Sheriff
Horner early sent out dozen depu-
ties armed with twenty or more war
rants still unserved, while in the
criminal court the selection of the
grand jury called together under in
structions to indict the mob leaders
was begun

Plants and Canals About
Completed.
by Il. c. snyder.

Washington. D. c., April lS.-Dur-
Ing the month of March the inclement
weather retarded progress somewhat
on the preliminary work on the North
Dakota irrigation projects. The speci-
ficationS and drawings for the several
pumping plants and canal systems are
all nearly completed. On the Buford-
Trenton project the plans and speci-
fications are finished FOR the machin-
cry for the main pumping plant, COW
ering electrically operated pumps hav-
ing a capacity to serve 5000 acres,
with an option on additional units Of
the same kind. which will supply
total of 5000 to 10000 acres, the cleo
trio power to be furnished from the
Williston generating plant.
Out of a total OF 1881 votes cast
by the land owners, only 500 were OPP
posed to making the necessary con-
tract with the secretary for initiating
the work OF construction 1t is stated
that this opposition will be diminished
greatly as soon as the available areas
to be irrigated are finally determined.
On the Williston project the plans.
and specifications are we'll advanced
for the installation of a plant to sup
ply 10000 acres. At recent meeting
of the water users association I'M
animous vote of the members was cast
approving the contract with the gov

cations are completed for the pumping
machinery and station, having Il capa-
city of supplying 5000 to 10000 acres.
The canal lines are located and the
