critic and e~xaggerater.' He alluded to

Mr.. Beninger, John B. Dash, a coffee mer-
chant who lives at Riverdale, and two
women, was coming south through Willis
avenue last night. Dash was driving.
The automobile was stopped at 145th
street because, as Dash says, a number Of
persons yelled at him. Behind on the road
way lay an overturned mail wagon. The
driver, Rufus Poison, 20 years old, of 247
East l26th street, was lying in the road
suffering from a strained back. A crowd
gathered around the automobile, accused
the occupants of trying to run away and in
sisted on holding up the auto until Police

station arrived.
DR.. Becker was from Lincoln
Hospital and attended to Pelson's injuries,

Therefore Some Democratic Senators Re
fuse TO Sign Call for q Conference.
WAsHINdToS, April s.-A week Of debate
on the railroad rate question confronts the
Senate leaders, but there is no prospect
of al agreement In the near future.
The efforts Of some Of the Democratic
Senators to secure a party conference have
not been fruitful. A dozen Senators nave
signed the call, but for the most part they
are favorable to the Hepburn bill as it was
reported from the Senate committee. The
call for the conference proposes to bind
no individual Senator. Its purpose is o
said to be to afford an opportunity for an
interchange Of views, and the advocates Of
the conference distinctly disavow any in
tention of passing resolutions or taking any
action intended to influence the vote of any
Senator. A number Of Senators declined
to sign the call, explaining that the rate
question is not a party question and should
be kept out of party conferences.
Mr.. McLaurin. who is q member OF the
Interstate Commerce Committee, will adj
dress the Senate tomorrow, and Mr.. Foster,
another member Of the committee, will
speak on Wednesday.
Mr.. Bailey's speech in reply to Messrs,
Spooner and Knox, which he has announced
he will deliver on Tuesday, defending the
constitutionality Of his amendment pro-
posing to limit the power of the courts
to suspend the orders Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission pending judicial
review, is expected to cause a lively debate.
Mr.. Tillman agrees with Mr.. Bailey,
but a number Of able lawyers on the Demo-
| cratic side, notably Messrs. Culberson,
Bacon and Clay, do not agree with him.
Mr.. La Toilette will make a contribu-
ton to the debate early this week.

~CARNEGTE'S KISS.
Mrs. EichberE says That Even HObsOn IS
Can't (Omnare With IL.

YAH SOnlpaTe WIN IL.
ATLANTA, Ga. April s.-"The Carnegie
kiss leaves nothing to be desired" is the
verdict Of Mrs. j. II. Hchberg of Atlanta,
whose lips were glued TO the lips of the
canny Scotchman for a brief interval at
the reception given to the ironmaster when
he was In Atlanta.
mfr. Carnegie as a kisser is uneXcelled, "
continued Mrs. Eichberg. The pressure Of
his lips is satisfying in every respect. His
kiss thrills and at the same tint soothes.
He is not hasty in kissing, which accounts
in a measure for the delight which follows
the pressure OF his lips.
His lack N haste in removing his lips
enables the recipient OF his kiss to extract
all that is possible from OSCILLATION. To
my dying day / shall never forget the joy
full sensation l experienced while Mr.. Car
negie's lips were on mine. Mr.. Carnegie
may be old in years, but he is still young in
his ability to kiss"
How does the Carnegie kiss compare
with the Hobson article. Mrs. Eichberg?'
The Carnegie kiss is superior TO the
Hobson kiss in every way" said Mrs. Eich-
berg. Il was kissed by Capt, Hobson
when he was in Atlanta some years ago
but | got no special pleasure from it. OF
course, there's some pleasure for a woman
in any kiss. but the Hobson kiss lacks the
satisfying qualities OF the Carnegie kiss.
capt. Hobson just pecks at your lips
and leaves one wondering why he didn't
ma Ike a good job of it. Mr.. Carnegie does
make a good job of it. He puts his lips
squarely on yours and he keeps them there
long enough for one to understand lust
what good kissing means. The Hobson
kiss is immature; the Carnegie kiss is mature.
Il shall never forget the delights of the
Carnegie kiss"

HOUSE AMENDS
BANKING BILL
MEASURE is A FAV0RITE IN
TIE WEST
Leaders Declare New Legislation
Will Go Far Toward PopuIarlzing
National Banks-Passes
Two to One
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The house
today waiting on the report of the ap-
preparation bills, began its Legislative
grind by passing three measures: In
cooperating the National German
American alliance; authorizing the sec
retary of the treasury to duplicate gold
certificates in lieu of ones lost or de-
stroyed, and the bill amending the ma
tional banking laws, permitting the
national banking associations to make
loans on real estate as security and
limiting the amount of such loans.
The banking bill has been one of the
Vests favorite measures and the lead
ers in the house from that section
lined up generally in favor of the leg
islation, which 1t was asserted would
go far toward popularlzing the national
banks. The opponents of the bill, Dem
ocrats and Republicans, insisted that
real estate was not a proper security
for loan, even though a limit was
placed on the loan.
The advocates of the measure were
too strong, however, and the bill was
passed two to one.
The house adjourned at 2:55 until
noon tomorrow.

ward. The committee entertains not
the slightest suspicion of fraud on the
part of the friends Of Mr.. Younkin, but
If a contest Is made it will be merely
on the ground that the closeness of the
vote justifies the closest scrutiny of the
ballots, and it is not impossible that
Mr.. YounlSin's vote may be increased
rather than -essened by the official
canvass
IF it is shown that Mr.. Younkin is
elected we will be perfectly satisfied
with the result, for while we desired
the election of Mr.. Akey we have per-
feet confidence in or. Younlin, who is
a man of undoubted honesty and in
tegrity and who, we know, will be
found on the side of good government
and a strict business administration of
the affairs OF the city"
Mr.. Lissner said he felt much en-
couraged over the result the election.
The nom partisans had captured two
thirds of the offices, which fact he said,
would insure Los Angeles being given
a clean government for the next three
years.
Republicans Cry for Revenge
Among Republicans generally, ex-
cepting, of course, the machine make,
there was loud cry yesterday for re-
venge on the machine for the manner
in which DR.. Lindley was treated.
The result of the election showed, as
pointed out by The Herald some time
ago, would be the case, that the ma
chine had deliberately and premedl-
lately slaughtered DR.. Lindley for hav-
ing crowded "Uncle George" Smith out
of the race for the Republican nomina-
ton for mayor.
This view low is accepted by prac-
tically everyone who watched develop
ments in the campaign. and as result
the cry has gone forth among the Re-
publicanS to smash the machine for all
time. Men VIII, clun.: to the organ
ization on a question of party principle
rather than love for machine methods
now declare that they are through with
political machines and that it will be
their aim to regene-ate the local Re-
publican party, and If this C, mot be
done they wi" join the ranks of the
non-partisans in future campaigns.
Practically complete returns by pre-
cincts were published in tabular form
for every Office and for the eight char
ter amendments in the Z o'clock extra
issued by The Herald Wednesday
morning.
No other morning paper attempted
the work of furnishing for its readers
returns by precincts for offices other
than maYor. That the efforts of The
Herald to give all the available figures
in the interesting election contest were
appreciated by the public was shown
by the demand for copies of the extra
containing the tabulated returns.

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. 5.-A special to
the Herald from Clifton, Arizona, the
first authentic news out of that city
since the flood Frustrated all the wires,
says:
The river is receding rapidly and the
weather has cleared. hence no further
damage is apprehended.
Two bodies were recovered from the
wreckage along Chase creek, but the
number of deaths cannot be told.
Joe Throm, who was rescued from the
flood and whose wife was lost, was
taken to the hospital in a critical con-
dition, but will probably recover. Three
Mexicans caught In the act of looting,
who refused to surrender to officers,
were shot and fatally wounded.
The flood in Chase creek was caused
by the breaking of the dam of the
Detroit Copper company, impounding
vast amount of tailings, which came
down with a seven-foot breast
Only one house on Chase creek es-
capped damage and many were entirely
destroyed The loss is appalling. North
Clifton was badly wrecked. Nearly all
of the residences in that section were
destroyed or damaged.
The Becker-F Franz Mercantile COM
pany in that section was damaged $1O,-

The Coronado railroad suffered dam
age all the way from Clifton to Met

fore trains can pass over its lines.

the flood started today. 1t is doubtful
If it can get as far as Duncan, as the
Gila river Is almost as high as 1t was
in the record-breaking January rise,
and is still rising.
So many restaurants and hotels have
been destroyed that it is almost impos-
sible to find a place to eat or sleep in
the town, but there will be no shortage
of provisions as many stores have es-
capped the floods.
There is a report in circulation that
the Arizona Copper company will re-
move it's plant to some other suitable
location, \but no announcement to that
effect has been made by the company.
Several directors and the president are
now here.
All trains on the n. & N. M. are
held east of the river.
The railroad bridges are so badly
damaged that 1t will be impossible to
use them for some time.
The Herald office and building were
swept away, and the Era has been put
out of business for a couple of weeks.
The Era building was flooded to a
depth of six feet, and the plant was

USE CHEAP WIRELESS OUTFIT
Government Experts Devise Modern
Appliances of War, Portable
and Compact

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The United
States army is keeping pace with other
countries in the matter of modern ap-
pliances of warfare.
The successful use of wireless teleg-
raphy in the movement of the battle
ships caused the officials of the war
department TO cast about for a wire
less outfit that could be at once COM
pact and portable and which could be
installed in the field in the shortest
possible time.
Experiments conducted by the signal
service have resulted in the construc-
tion by the government of number
of outfits and they are now being dis
tributed among the various commands.
The high cost of wireless material
abroad led the government to make its
own appliances at an immense saving,
but 1t Is stated that they embody the
principal elements of the later improve
ments OF apparatus.
Although 1t is felt that these outfits
will ultimately be vastly improved
upon, they are alro dy capable of do
ing efficient work. They are so con-
structed that they can easily be trans
ported on the backs of three horses or
mules. and may be set up in twenty
minutes. They can transmit messages
about 100 miles, and valuable feature
OF them Is that they will not interfere
with each other i'm their operation.
The court artillery stations will be
fitted up with the same outfits by which
communication may be had with ships
at sea and transmitted to the field II

When the army Of pacihcation went
TO Cuba Il took along a couple OF Wire

mate of the schooner Charles Hanson,
reported that a. Seattle youth, William
Smith, assistant engineer OF the Charles
Hanson, in attempting for the third
time to desert the schooner at Toker
Point met his death in the wilderness
near Herschel island.

in a binding snow storm, and Smiths
partner had both legs frozen, necessi-
tating amputation.
The second time Smith attempted to
desert he was caught and returned to
his ship.
The third and last time he, with a
sailor named Knox, set out with a dog
sled and a supply of food, intending
to hunt for gold. Knox was found
some time later by the natives near
Shingle Point. wandering about in a
half demented condition. When he re-
covered his senses he SAID the grub
supply had been exhausted before he
and Smith had gone far, and the ex-
posure and lack Of food had caused
Smiths death.
