Bisbee daily review., 1906-04-18
Local Colored People Discredit Leader of Black Move
 ment Association. '
IS EITHER FANATIC
 OR WANTS N0T0RlETY.
Has Been Known as Prosperous Cattle Owner Near Fort Grant, but Was Never Heard
 of as Possessing Authority.

Bisbee colored people, who read yesterday morning that D. R. Thomas of Bonita, Graham county. Is trying to deport 500, GOO negroes in the Unit ed States to the Congo Free State, are inclined to put him down as 8 fanatic, refusing to admit that he is the head of any organization. styled the Black Movement Association"
 Thomas is known to a number of the Bisbee colored fraternity, several of whom were personally acquainted with him, having lived near Bonita be- fore coming to Bisbee. It is a sur. prise to them how Thomas could have gotten at the head of such an asso citation.
 P. B. Crane, one of several farmers who were forced to abandon their ranches on the Boquillas land grant near Frairbank, stated yesterday that a few years ago he was personally ac' quainted with Thomas, the latter at the time being prosperous cattle owner near Fort Grant, having several thousand head of stock.
 In Cranes opinion, Thomas has taken the authority of leading a move ment without the consent of his peo-
 
 interests and not through any power delegated to him by the Black Move ment Association" if there is such an association in existence.
 Crane looks with some doubt on the possibility of Thomas fancying he has been raise.i to the high place to which he lays claim. He states that when he knew Thomas. the lat ter was looked upon as a level-headed citizen.
 R. B. Spires, another colored resi- dent of Bisbee, is inclined to think that Thomas is fanatic. who for some reason has become imbued with the idea that he must look after the trans portation of his people to the Congo Free State.
 ''I have never heard of this man Thomas" said Spires, "and I doubt if he has ayn authority to speak for the colored people or any number of
Bisbee daily review., 1906-04-18

them. We have heard nothing here in Bisbee about this movement. If there was anything to it, am certain that some of us would know what is going on.
 T don't believe there is a colored man in this city who would want to go to Africa. We are satisfied the way things are here now. It may be that some would like to go there, but there are not 500.000 of them, as Thomas seems to represent.
 The only man in the United States who has ever been recognized as the leader of a movement of this kind is Bishop Turner of New York. A few years ago he tried tc organize move. ment, but little ever came of it."
 Several other colored people were seen and spoke along the same lines They all join in the statement that Thomas is either looking for roto, riety or his mind has been unhinged by considering too much the rights and wrongs of his race.

CAUSES UNKNOWN
 FOR cASTRo'S ACTION.

WiLLEMSTAD. Island of Curacoa, April 17.-Passengers arriving here today from Venezuela say the action of General Castro in retiring from the Presidency in favor of Vice-President Gomez Is not clearly understood in Venezuela, but the general opinion seems to be that his retirement is only temporary.
 The resignation of the Venezuelan Cabinet is also causing speculation.
 The ministers retired when Castro gave up the reins of power, but Gomez has not appointed his new Cabinet, and therefore the old ministers have retained their portfolios.
 On the other hand, Castro's follow

Dr. Crap Sey's first move to secure an adjourn ment was defeated by vote of to l, but when his counsel announced that the case would be allowed to go by default, if the court insisted on pro- ceeding, forthwith it was decided, at ter some discussion, to postpone the case until April p.

Our Trip West.

Editor Freese seems to have had a
rough time in his trip west in his wa
gon ride of 23O miles over the noun
tains and thru the dense forests to get
Mrs Dalton's body, over 100 miles of
it with the body in the wagon.
But having days to spare, and being
within a nights ride, he left the body
at the undertakers and enjoyed trip
to Portland, Takoma, Seattle, and
days visit with Harry Shaffer and Sam
Mellison's, at Everett, Washington.
Shaffer is running a brick-making
yard in that bustling city of 25, 1000, and
Mellison is on. and has been for five
years, the police force, has soft snap
and making money, has beautiful and
large residance and he and his wife look
natural as ever and spent a whole even
ing inquiring of old Hays friends, and
wanted to be remembered to all The
married daughters still live in Idaho and
doing well.
Old republican politicians will be glad
to know that the old wheel horse Harve
Mitchell of Stockton, is Mayor of that
city and is way up in politics, as he
was when here.
That whole western country is on a
boom, building everywhere, and rail-
roads and city street work giving en-
ployment to many thousand men. Saw
mills everywhere but lumber way up in
price, $13 thousand for the common
est boards and dimension stuff, so great
is the demand.
Those western cities are beautiful,
flowers, lovliest of roses in full bloom,
climate delightful, and the ride up the
Columbia on the boat, from Portland to
the falls, with lofty mountains on each
side, was worth the whole expense OF
the trip, and it is no surprise that the
Union Pacific advertise so much that
200 mile trip along the Columbia river
for it is all that is claimed.
But the ''raising business is
delusion. True, you can raise al
kinds of fruit abundantly, but no market
that will make a profit, big plums sci
| ling in the stores at cent pound anC
the fine Bartlett pears at one & hal
cents pound, so the raiser can't ge+
much for their work.
He saw some wonderful grain fields II
the mountain valleys that gave an i'm
mense yield. In the Lost Prairie vale!
where the body was buried, Peter Fort
ney having some of the finest whea
and oats fields ever seen, and making
fortune feeding cattle and hogs. Al
along the mountain sides were the smal
fields of grain, doing fine, no irrigation
being needed.

The telephone switchboard is a deli
cate piece of mechanism. To complete
one requires many months and hundreds
of the best mechanics. Altogether
there are several million parts in the
apparatus One of the 10000 line
switchboards contains 1000 miles of
wire-enough if stretched in one line,
to reach from Rome to Boston. In 1t
are more than 100000 soldered connect
ions and $1,000 incandescent electric
lights, each hardly larger in diameter
than the end of lead pencil. Such
piece of apparatus costs $3.50, 900. 90.
The investment of the Bell Telephone
Companies in switchboards alone ex-
ceeds 500, 900, 100000. Roughly speak
ing, the equipment of central Office is
valued at 81, 10000 foot and on May
1st there were nearly 5000 exchanges
and branches in the Bell system.
A glimpse of the back of the switch
board gives the most vivid idea of its
complexity. Here the bundles of wire
and many of the other parts of the
complicated mechanism, are in plain
sight Each circuit consists of two
wires, of course, and each pair of wires
is numbered on the outside lines as
we'll as in the central office. So care
fully and methodically are the thousands
of lines arranged that any pair of wires
wanted can be picked out instantly
anywhere in the plant. There are
thousands of miles of wire and humid
reds of thousands of separate pieces in
the contrivance through which the lines
are separated and carried to their prop
er places, as they come from poles or
conduits, in the electrical relays that
distribute the currents for talking and
ringing, and in the devices which pro-
tect all the delicate and expensive
equipment of the exchanges from dam
age by lightning and mishaps.
