ABOUT The new
THEATER PLANS

Regarding the new theater to be
erected in Tonopah, the project is
certainly in capable hands. Mr..
Thomas Phillips, who anne here
from New York, is thoroughly
equipped to handle the most minute
details. He is thoroughly familiar
with all the workings of theatrical
construction and when completed
the local playhouse will be the most
complete on the Pacific slope. Mr..
Phillips was for many years con-
nected with the Frawley Stock COM
pany in San Francisco, at the time
that Eugene Schmitz, the present
mayor of San Francisco, was its
musical director. He is a son of
Captain William Phillips. He is
known to have a thorough knowl-
edge of stage settings and stage
lighting and is credited with having
staged the h%andsomest interior scene
ever presented to the California
theater-going public. He possesses
youth, energy and great ambition
and in the possession of such quail
ties he cannot fail. He has that
strong disciplining power so essen
tial to q successful stage manager,
but is strictly fair in his dealings.
While with the Frawley company he
successfully produced such elaborate
productions as the Great Ruby"
ono Vadis" and "The Sporting
Duchess" In 1900 he was engaged
by Liebler & Co. as stage manager
for Mrs. lie Moyne.
It was under his personal direc-
ton that the Charles River carnival
at West Roxbury was so successfully
arranged and it consummation was
by far the peer of any previous un-
dertaking of a similar nature.
During their production in New
York he was stage manager for the
enormous productions of "Humpty-
Dumpty' and Mother Goose" Those
who have ever witnessed these will
readily realize the magnitude of the
task.
In 1906 he coached and produced
the oxford Affair which was ar
ranged by Mrs, George Could at
Lakewood, N. J.
As an insight to this young mans
nature, it might be said that in an
interview with him and in the course
of the conversation he said: There
is one word in the English language
that | love and that is discourage
as it gives me an opportunity TO fight
to overcome It," Such sentiment as
this would see him through, even
were it not for the lively interest in
his project that is being taken by the
people of Tonopah, who are ever
quick to appreciate merit when it APP
pears.
Mr.. Phillips is much encouraged
with the progress he has made and
any assistance that this young
hustler may require will no doubt be
promptly forthcoming.

Chauffeur Among Mining Camps

A type of the twentieth century
mining camp is the desert chauffeur
who opened the trail of traffic be-
tween Tonopah and Goldfeld, New,
and later drove his machine on south
to the camps of the Bullfrog district.
He is distinctly picturesque and is as
thorough going a pioneer in his way
as the freighter is in his.

GARFIELD REponT.
Independent oil Dealers Have Been
 Benefited.

Benefited.
 Washington. Dec 9.-The annual re- port of Commissioner of Corporations James R. Garfield, madeN Tblic today. devotes especial attention to the in- Yestigattons of the transoortation of oil and the operations of the Standard oil Company.
 During the investigation of the oil industry" says the report, it waS discovered that a very. wid espread sys- tenn of railway discrimination existed In favor of the Standard oil Company. affecting a very large proportion of the country and resulting substantially in giving to the Standard oil Company an overwhelming advantage in trans- portation in almost all sections of the country; that this system had been in existence for number of years and that largely by virtue of 1t, the stan dard- had been able to restrict or eiinn- mate competition throughout many pars of the country and thereafter reap the benefits of monopoly.
 These railway determinations took various forms, often very ingenious in their nature. and so skillfully conceal ed that their existence was very rarely suspected even by the active competi- tors of the Standard, although such competitors knew that in general they were doing business at a cisadvan- tage."
 During the fiscal year indictments containing S.1sa counts were returned by the various grand 1uries, ss the re- suit of this investigation.
 A most striking and important result immediately followed the Investigation of the bureau; the railroads cancelled substantially all the secret rates, ille- gal or improper discrimipations and fla many cases the discrin1inations in open rates
 The shippers of oil advise .he bureau that for the first time in many years they are now rapidly obtaining feQuaIi- ty of treatment from the transpoTa-' tion companies.
 Work on the other phases of the oil industry and the investigation of the tobacco, steel, sugar and coal in- dustries are well advanced; special re- ports thereof will be made in due course. An inquiry into canal and water Transportation has ,,aen started
 Commissioner Garfield urges again the necessity for tn establishment of Federal inspection and supervision of the greater industrial corporations en- gagged in interstate and foreign com merce." He says it will not interfere with the power and authority of the States over the corporations created under Sate law.
 Denial of the right to engage in in- terstate commerce is suggested as the penalty for proved violation of the law The report says the work if the year strikingly demonstrates the value of efficient publicity for the correction of corporate abuses.

WANT ONLY JUSTICE.

Negro Docs not Care to Dominate.
 Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 9.-Booker Wash ington. President of Tuskegee College, Alabama, addressed two large gather ings of negroes today in this city, at the invitation of the Civic League, an association composed of prominent members of white and colored citizens of Atlanta.
 After reviewing the results and the conditions which brought about the re- cent race troubles. he said An element that has kept the two races from CO., operating has been the constant threat of negro domination. I am in constant touch with all classes of my people North and South, and I do not hesitate to say that the negro has no ambition to mingle socially with the white race, neither has he any ambition to domi- nate the white man in political mat ters.
 What the negro is interested in far beyond any social lnteEminglinglss ssf far beyond the matter of racial or political domination, is that individually he and his family shall receive justice. The scare of social equality, the scare of possible racial domination have kept many white people in the South from helping the negro, and the fear on the part of the negro that he will not re- ceve fair play has kept the negro iead- CTS in doubt"
 After a diligent and close study or the subject. he said, he was prepared to assure his race of the sincerity Of the friendship of the white man in the South and their intentions for the up- building of the colorcd race.
 In closing i'e congratulated the Civic League on it's efforts to bring about harmony between the races which has shown the South and the world that both white and black can come to- gether and cooperate each for the hap pine5s and the prosperity of the other
