NOT A TRAIN wRECKER.
Such Is Santa Fe Officers Opinion of
Man Arrested in POnca City.

Word was received a couple of days ago
by II. II. German, special agent of the
AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa Fe, that the
police of Ponca City. Ok, had taken into
custody man giving his name as James
Willinger, and whom they thought might
be implicated in the wrecking of the San
ia Fe passenger train at Lang, Kan, last
month.
Mr. German sent one of his assistants,
F. e. McGrath. who works along the Ok
lahoma division of the road, to investi-
gate, and McGrath has reported that he
does not think it probable that Willinger
was implicated in the Wrecking. Willinger
was picked UP by the Ponca City police
as a suspicious person. He refused to
disclose anything about himself and was
unusually reticent when the officers ques-
toned him about his recent whereabouts.
They then hit upon the conclusion that
he might have been connected with the
wrecking of the train, and because he re-
fused to answer any questions when he
was being tsweated' on this subject
these conclusions were strengthened and
Nj German was notified.
After McC4rath had seen the fellow and
talked with him he wrote to Mr.. German
that he thought the man was an ordinary
sort Of a hobo" and that he was not
connected with the wrecking in any way.
He is being held at Ponca City on a va
grancy charge for ten days.

MAY CUT PASSENGER RATES.
Congressman Thing Two Cents a Mile
Reasonable East of Mississippi.

Washington, Jan. Sit is probable
that when the railroad rate regulation
Dill IS reported to the house it will con-
tain provision that the maximum fare
10 be charged for passengers on all
roads east of the Mississippi river shall
be two cents mile.
The proposition has been presented to
members of the house committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, and
while no decision has been reached
there are number of members who
favor its adoption.
It is the opinion of congressman that
1t would not be fair or just to fix the
same maximum rate for all roads. Those
which traverse mouI famous regions
cost more to construct and maintain
and those which run through sparsely
settled territory have not the field for
traffic that others have. But it is re-
garded that all the roads east of the
Mississippi could properly be classed
together and a 2 cent rate estab hshed
for them.
A member of the house committee,
when asked about the proposition, said:
There would be no injustice whatever
in fixing maximum rate of cents a
mile on all railroads except possibly
those mountainous roads that are eX-
pensive of construction and the roads
which run through new territory, where
the population Is sparse.
The roads are glad to sell mileage
at 2 cents" said one of these men, land
can see no other reason why man
who buys 1000 miles at a time should
get a cheaper rate than the one VINO
buys single trip ticket.
Another thing I think should be cor
rected is the practice of railroads charg-
ing $50 for 1000 mile book and giving
a rebate of $40 on the return of the
cover. In this way the roads get the
use of a large sum of money tied UP
in rebates and they also profit largely
through the loss of covers. They should
be compelled to sell these mileage books
at a fiat rate so that the purchaser
would not be obliged to return the COW
ers in order to get his money back
"Then, too that mileage should be
transfera BILE. If the road gets the money
for transporting a passenger, It should
make no difference who that passenger
is. A lot of these questions should be
brought up and decided now while rate

Eighty Per Cent of the Total Corey

Something Of the prosperity of the
people of Coffey county this year is in
Dictated by the fact that a little more
than so per cent of the total tax was
paid by January I, although only so
per cent was due at that time. This is
the best record ever made in this coun-
ty. County Treasurer Pierson has
beaten the record each year since he
took the office last year having about
IS per cent While the average for a
number Of years has been about 50. The
treasury is also ahead this year in the
amount Of money on hand January 1,
having s126 307.84 as against Sis, 205. 38

HERE'S SOME ARIZONA LAW.
Men sitting Around Fire Made of
Stolen Coal Guilty of Larceny.

Men Sitting Around Fire Made OF
stolen Coal Guilty of Larceny.
Yuma. Ariz., Jan. 9.-Sitting around
a camp fire, the fuel for which has
been stolen from a railroad company
constitutes petit larceny according to
the ruling of Justice RedondO, who
presides in the court here. And for
this offense hoboes are given employ
ment by the Yuma county authorities
for twenty days. AS a result of this
action by the judge the hoboes are
giving this town a wide berth. They
have literally overrun the town for
the last three weeks.
Detectives ]. c. Betancue and
Charles Mainz. of the Southern Pa
cific railway, are responsible in large
measure for running the tramps out
of town, as they hit upon the plan of
arresting them for petit larceny for
enjoying a fire made from stolen coal.
These detectives found a score or more
of hoboes sitting around a coal fire
and rounded them up and preferred
charges of petit larceny against them.
1t was known that the coal for the
fire had been stolen from the South
ern Pacific and while the hoboes
pleaded not guilty to stealing the coal,
they admitted being around the fire.
Justice Redondo was equal to the
occasion and he found the weary
willies' guilty of basking in the heat
made from stolen fuel, and sentenced
each of them to twenty days in the
county lookup.

has been piped only in the eastern part
of Argentine and only a few people are
using it to heat their homes. Those
who are using it say it is not adequate
for cold days like these. The gas in
Argentine is piped from wells near that
city owned by the Pauline Oil and Gas
company. These wells are not deep ana
the flow is not strong. The deepest well
is about 400 feet
c. ". Green. ex-mayOr. who is using
gas stoves in his residence at 406 Locust
street, Argentine, said this morning
that not sufficient heat was obtained
and he was forced to use coal for fuel
1.-The gas here was frozen in the pipes
this morning. said Mr.. Green. The
pressure is not strong enough to make
a rapid flow and to prevent the mois-
ture from freezing. We have been able
to get a small supply of gas today, but
it is not sufficient to furnish any heat"

issued the first of the year by the sup

that reporters shall be allowed to ride
