There Is Still Trouble in

Editor Evening News:
| would like to a make a state
ment regarding the article in Mon
days News concerning the trouble
among local musicians. The party
who made the remarks published
Monday did not know what he was
speaking of, or else purposely mis-
represented facts.
In Justice to those who are only
fighting to protect themselves from
imposition, the following letter, sent
a short time ago to President Weber,
of the American Federation of Musi-
clans, explains the situation thor
oughly:
Mr.. Jos. w. Weber:
Dear Sir and Brother:-I feel ii
my duty to inform o of facts and
conditions as they exist in Local 373,
Perth Amboy, n. j.
They are practically the same
which caused all the trouble about a
year ago.
At that time the members honored
me by q request to act as their rep
resentative in adjusting affairs. |
consented and worked heart and soul
till we finally accomplished our aims
and recognized the local. | fully
thought then that everything would
go smoothly. 1t was only a short
time later, however, that the very
members who had been fined and eX-
PEELED, and who through the efforts
of others were reinstated and placed
in power, began enforcing the same
things which had been the cause of
their own fine and expulsion.
There has been nothing but con-
tinual strife and dissatisfaction in
the local, and would state now, as |
had done when local was being first
organized, that there were not
enough competent musicians in this
town to form a local. That is N
reason of complaint. Another is
is that the local is run by a Clique"
Partially is shown to those who are
on the inside.
The surest way to adjust all diff
ferences is by transferring this local
to New Brunswick Local 2O4)
where we would be under the juris-
diction of impartial and disinterested
parties, and by combining both To-
Gals, leaders would have a larger Sc
lection of competent musicians, and
then could more readily live up to
the law of engaging local men.
| sincerely hope and trust that you
can see your way to adjust affairs in
some such name rs suggested, as
that would iniure none and give fair
play TO all. | remain,

The judge is a little in doubt IS to
whether his birthday is on the 21st
or 22d of February, as his coming
into the world was so near midnight
that he is not sure on which | OF

All SAVED
THE N EGR0.
MoOrestOWn Murderer Hurried to
Mount Holly Jail in Secret In
Big Touring Car.

MOUNT HOLLY, n. j.. Feb. lit
was only the wit of Sheriff Norcross
that prevented a lynching here when
the deputy sheriffs brought Rufus
Johnson, the self confessed murderer
of Miss Florence Atkinson, to this place
rested.
The trip was made from Philadel-
phia in d big touring car. Johnson sat
in the |tonneau. manacled to a deputy
on either side. but there was little fear
that he would attempt to escape. He
had heard of the popular Indignation
and anger over his crime, and as the
car neared this place he trembled with
fear and begged to be projected.
At Moorestown, where the murder
was committed. a great crowd had col
lected on the highway. The news that
Johnson was to be brought through in
an automobile had spread, and the mob
was ripe for Il rising.
As the big machine swept into the
town the people thronged the street
and threatened to stop the car. and
cries of Lynch the murderer were
heard. Johnson shivered and trembled
like one palsied.
A word was said to the chauffeur,
and in an instant the mighty car,
throbbing and %pulsatlng, leaped for
ward. Like a meteor it tore along.
The crowd fell back. The most brave
feared to face such a catapult. AT
forty miles an hour the machine tray
eled through the village, leaving n
cloud Of dust behind it.
johnson breathed free again when
the danger vas passed. The greater
danger, however, was yet TO come.
At the Jail a crowd was waiting. and
it was from these that the sheriff had
most to fear. There had been open
threats of violence to the murderer.
and even with the force of deputies at
his command Sheriff NorcroSs would
have been pOwerless to prevent Il
lynching had the enraged farmers and
townsfolk obtained possession of the
murderer, but he was spirited into the
Jail through the rear entrance Of the
sheriff's residence.

FAGAN REVEALS
PLOT OF BOSSES.
Jersey City Mayor Declares 1t Is
SChemed to Gust Corporation
Counsel and Attorney.

JERSEY CITY. Feb. 1:-Mayor
Pagan created a sensation at the
eighteenth annual dinner of the Jer-
sey City Board of Trade last night in
the Jersey City Club by making an
unexpected attack upon railroad and
political bosses and their methods
and declaring that an enterprise was
under way at Trenton to GUST from
Office Corporation Counsel Record
and Corporation Attorney Carey, who
have been the mayors foremost lieu
tenants in his battle for equal taxa
ton. Mr.. Pagan was the guest of
Joseph A. Dear, chairman of the din
ner committee, and created further
remark by bitterly arraigning the
editorial policy of Il newspaper, of
which his host is a part owner.
While the legislation for equal
taxation already obtained has added
$500, 600 to the income of Jersey
City, the mayor said, this has been
snapped up by Hudson county. In
the campaign for equal taxation, he
declared, the railroad and corpora
ton bosses, with the political bosses,
were resorting to an old method of
killing Objectionable Legislation by
introducing many bills to defeat one.
In a bill 10 take from the mayor
the power to appoint the corporation
counsel and attorney, about to be in

pany to turn yer its new plant to the

The mayors remarks, while caus'
ing some surprise, were greeted with
warm approval and long cheering.

Stocks Goes Up on Report of Set
Element in the War.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-Informa-
ton obtained yesterday in well in
formed quarters indicates that the
long predicted termination of the
Montana copper war is in view. Ne
gotiations which have been intermit-
tently on and Off for five years have
now reached Il stage where many be-
lieye they will end successfully.
In the stock market optimistic
views We're indicated by a sensation
al advance in Amalgamated shares,
as well as in the shares of its antag-
onist, the United Copper company, a
concern controlled by the Heinzes.
United Copper ran up from So to 70
a gain of 8 points. Amalgamated,
under enormous transactions, made
a gain Of 6&s points, closing at
ll5%. The top prices were reached
in the last few minutes of the mar
ket.
From the reticenCe of the Heinzes
and the Amalgamated Copper inter
ests an inference was drawn that ne
gotiations had reached a stage where
an i'll advised word might disrupt the
negotiations. IT was officially said,
however. that negotiations were I'M
der way whereby the Heinzes would
be eliminated from the Montana sit
nation, and control of the United
Copper Company would be transfer
red to interests friendly to the Anal
gamated Copper Company.
The best information obtainable is
that third parties have agreed to buy
control of the Heinz companies. The
Amalgamatcd is in no way directly
interested Various guesses were
made as 10 the identity of these par
ties. In some quarters it was believ-
ed they were the Guggenheims, of
the Smelling corporation, and in 9th
ers it was said they were the North
Butte copper interests.
One report had it that Thomas
Cole, who is associated with the Unit
ed States Steel Corporations mining
department, was the leading agent in
bringing about peace. To his efforts
is due the purchase of the North
Butte Mining Company, whose stock
was floated at SIS a share and is
now selling at $50. Its par value is
SIS.

THE CURRENCY COMMITTEES
 REPORT.

That the country is in need of a fiex- ibue currency has become more and more apparent. A financial system making available at all times the greatest volume of money needed at any time would be as disturbing as one which would limit the volume to the countrys least needs. Leaving out of account the increased and increasing demand for money to carry on enter prises which are growing in both mag nitude and number, there is the sea sonable demand which varies with regularity. and to meet which the gov ernment has been compelled to resort to makesh.fts. These demands are so regular that provision. it would seem, could easily be made to satisfy them.
 The need of a flexible currency in this country is as apparent as the need of clothing of varying weights in climate which varies from intense heat in. the summer time to extreme cold in rhe winter.
 our silver and greenback friends might as well argue that suit of chinchilla should be worn at all sea sons of the year. while those who favor a restricted and rigid currency would probably insist upon a pongee suit in midWinteT.
 The monetary commission report or a committee appointed by the Nv York chamber of commerce, made pub lie yesterday. furnishes samples of ma terials for commercial clothing to be worn in the varylng seasons of the financial year.

ARIZONA POLO PONIES
 THE FIRST SHIPMENT
A Carload Started Yesterday for Eng
 land and France.

E. T. HiIdebrand. representing Cap tain Long of London, England, one or the crack polo players of England yesterday morning shipped from this valley via Wells-FargO express a car load of ponies which will in time md their way to the polo grounds of Eng land and France. The ponies will be reloaded at New York city on an ocean liner and will leave that port on the 16th of October MT. Hndebrand ac- compauied the shipment. He will up on his arrival in England prepare the ponies for the life they are destined to follow. and after dispOsing of them will again return to this territory his present intention being to reach here about the last of December.
 If the hOrsemen, cattlemen and ranchers in general of Arizona would devote little attention to the matter it is possible that they would in a few years develop an industry in the rais- ing of polo ponies which would be of great value to them. Tn no place in the whole counus are the conditions such as to make good polo ponies as they are in this territory. Cow ponies are just the trick to start with to make good sensible polo ponies. That they oan be marketed at fair price they must De QUICK ana last h. iletllU7 ms and well refined. You must realize that you have good stock here when l come nI the way from England to buy Ari- aoua ponies in the light Of the tremen- dous expense I am put to with them before they can be disposed of The above were words of MT. Hildebrand-
 Cit is low to estimate the transporta- tjou on each pony from Phoenix to Liverpool at Sl25. And after you have the pony in Liverpool you have just begun with the expense. They must be acclimated and trained. Sometimes 1t takes as I0nG as three months to train a pony. and this after he has heeu well reined.- once ready for the market they are taken to the polo grounds of the Birmingham, ROehamp- ton. Ranelagh. or some crack E'renCh club. The selling price of the ponies is not high. so there is not a great margain in the business"
 MT Hndebrand bought most of his ponies this trip in the vicinity of Win COX. Benson and the Chiricahua ranges. shortly after his arrival in the wes' ne made a purchase of a few head in New Mexico. which he sold in Chicago. All of the Arizona ponies, however. are 70 be taken abroad.

men. the one office which of itself proves that the occupant is as good as anybody else, a peer.
 Then the Optic threatens the Span fsh-Americans. it tells them that if joint statehood is defeated congress will anyhow make a joint state by force and it's terms to the abject territories will be much less conciiatory than those it is now offering. For instance, perhaps it will make a Knowledge of the English language necessary qualification for the holders of all of fees. Even the dog catcher will have to display an intimate familiarity with the language and literature of Shakes peare and Andrew Carnegie. Then where and what will the Spanish Americans be? In the soup, mere uOnentities.
 Now is the time, urges the Optic, to avert this calamity and prevent the e;facement of those who speak only the ripping CasuHian.
 By all means" concludes the Optic let us get what kind of statehood we can. that we may make our own laws, have voice in legislation. assume d position in which we cannot be discrim- mated against, run our own courts make our own jury laws without the danger of national interference and rise to an altitude where we cannot be everIastingly discriminated against

SOME RECORDED FACTS.

The joint statehood papers of New Mexico and the three of this territory. endeavoring to prove the greater wealth of the former. quote from tke last census figures without explana- ton.
 But what is of more importance to the taxpayers of Arizona is the of- ficially- established and very material fact. that the assessed valuation of property in New Mexico is $43,OOO. .0nO while that of Arizona is $63,OOO 900. It cannot be said that the preponder- ance of Arizona's assessed wealth lies in its great mines for all the mines might be stricken from the assess ment roll and this territory would still have a lead of more than S5.0OO, ,000 over the assessed valuation of New Mexico including it's mines How is this patent circumstance to be Decor- cied with the figures of New Mexican wealth with which the jointists regaIA us?
 Nor can it be said that the superior wealth of Arizona as disclosed by as easements is only apparent, made so by different systems of assessments
 Fc- has not that canonized advocat tc of jointure Bernard $. Rodey. tod the house committee on territories that the assessed valuation in New Mexico mor" nearly approaches the real val uation than it does in Arizona?
 
 terous statement made by the jointists as To the comparative wealth and in debredness of tie two territories. thero would still remain the incontrovertible fact that the territorial tax rate of New Mexico is a little more than twice as great as that of Arizona Those comparative tax rates. at least they can not juggle with nor misreprcsent. They appear in the reports of the proceedings of the boards of equali- zation of the two territories.
 Taxpayers are much more interest cd in rates than they are in tn wealth or the indebtedness of their neighbors.
 The tax rate argument against joint ure we believe has been met by JJ least one jointist iH this territory. Fl claimed to have ascertained what we believe to be true, that only 53 per cent os the levied tax of New Mexico IS collected; hence the tax rate there Ls really no greater than in this terri tory.
 That is, nearly half the taxpayers there. pay no taxes, so that the entire burden falls upon the other half This explanation certainly could not be con soling to those New Mexicans who pay their taxes.
 Nor. in the event of statehood, would it be comforting to Arizona tax payers to know that their burdensome tax rate was burdensOme only to themselves and not to those of their New Mexican fellow citizens, who were wholly escaping taxation.
Arizona republican., 1906-10-05

A NEW MEXICAN LOWEST SCARE
 We infer from the alarm of the Las Vegas Optic that there is very serious Spanish-American opposition in New Mexico to joint statehood. The Optic is seeking to remove it by threats and cajolery.
 It appears that the Spanisn-Ameri- cans have interpreted the provisions of the statehood bill to exclude from pub lie. offices all who cannot write or speak the English language and so to deprive a considerable part of the population from active participation in the affairs of the new state: to make them serfs to the English tongue.
 The Optic assures them that it is not so bad as that; that what the law means is that only Englis sh-speaking and English-writing citizens can fill state offices and, "of course says the Optic to the n-English-speaking. you would not want to hold d state office until you had learned to read and write English a language which is easy to learn.
 In the meantime, the Optic comfort ingly informs the Spanish they can go on being county school su- perintendents. county officers of all kinds. justices of the peace and jury
