WILL EQUIP CARS WITH
NEW FENDER DEVICE
TESTS PROVE INVENTION MUCH
SUPERIOR
Old Apparatus Is Considered Menace
to edestriaps-one to Be In-
stalled Will Scoop Up Whatever
Lies on the Tracks

New Tenders which have been demon
strated by actual test to be far superior
to the gas pipe affairs which have
served for so long, are being placed or
the local street cars. The Vernon, San
Pedro street and the Main and Jeffer-
son street lines are already equipped
with the new tenders
The Eclipse fender, as it is called
which is supplanting the gas pipe men
aces to the lives of pedestrians, is SC
constructed that when it strikes an
object it is forced down to the rails,
thus scooping up whatever lies upon
the track.
1.-THE extensive trials which have been
made of the new fender have shown
that it is as nearly perfect as any
human invention. 1t was tested thor
oughly by the Los Angeles Railway
company before being applied to the
cars of that company.
1t is the intention of the company to
place the new tenders upon all of its
urban cars.
The great advantage that the new
fender has over the gas pipe arrange
ment is that it projects in front of the
car while the old ones We're placed
under the body of the car, so that if
person were struck by the car he
would be knocked down by the front of
the car and then perhaps thrown out of
the way by the fender Accidents of
that nature will be almost impossible
under the new method.

Federation STILL ACTIVE
Organization Which Was Successful
in Saturday Closing Again
Gets Busy

The Church Federation, which was
instrumental in bringing about early
Saturday closing of the retail stores, is
now going to make an effort TO induce
the wholesalers of the city to assent
to the closing of their establishment at
1890 Saturday afternoon.
The federation was most successful
in securing the early closing of the
retail stores and it is believed that they
will be equally successful with the
wholesalers. An effort is also to be
made to induce both wholesalers and
retailers to pay their employees the first
of the week instead of on Saturday
night as is now the case. The conten-
tion of the federation is that If the
employees were paid on Monday or
Tuesday instead of Saturday they
would have time to purchase any neces-
sary supplies before the end of the
week. But as it now is when the
employees of both the retail and whole
sale stores are paid the majority of
the retail stores are closed and it is
impossible for them to purchase the
necessary supplies.
A meeting of the federation will be
held today and the methods by which
the desired ends may be gained will
be discussed.

ACETATE CONDUIT DISTRICT
Fifth Street Property Owners Want
Wires in Their Neighborhood
Placed UnderQround

Agitation for the new wire conduit
district, which cannot be determined
until the last of the year, has already
begun. Property owners in Fifth street
between Olive street and Central ave-
nue. yesterday submitted a. petition to
the council asking that Fifth street be
included in the new conduit district
The council has the power of each
year naming a district of two miles
in which all overhead wires must be
put in underground conduits. This or
dinance has been in operation for three
years and each year the petitions have
greatly outnumbered the limited terri
tory allowed the council. That body has
adopted the plan of removing the
wires from the business district first.

HAVE NO FEAR
OF INJUNCTION
NEW MUSIC BOOKS WILL BE
ADOPTED
County Board of Education Votes
to DispIace Antiquated Primers,
Regardless Of Threats of
Taxpayers Attorney

Members of the county board of edu-
by the threats of an injunction to pre-
vent them from carrying out their
plan of adopting a new set of music
books for the county schools. They
say in the first place that they do not
believe such an injunction can be made
to stick, and secondly. they can carry
out their plan by a method other than
the one adopted.
At it's meeting last Saturday the
board decided to make a change in
the music course of the county schools.
The books published by Silver, Burdette
& Co, which have been in use for some
time, were discarded in favor of the
new educational music course pnb-
lished by CHM & Co. Trouble arose
over the fact that the board adopted
these books for four years.
This is held to constitute a contract,
and the contention is that the board
exceeded its powers in this respect.
An attorney claiming to represent
a taxpayer notified the members of the
board that an attempt would be made
to prevent them from carrying out this
plan by means of legal proceedings.
New Method Mertorious
Superintendent Keppel said yesterday
that the new music course had been
decided upon after a careful investi-
cation and a comparison of the merits
of the books of Silver, Burdette & Co.
and those of CHM S Co.
So far as the right of the board to
make a contract is concerned, the state
law is said to be silent on that point
1t neither gives nor denies the board
that right.
Up to four years ago such power
was vested in county. boards of educa-
ton, but the legislature then vested the
right in the state board without speci-
fically stating whether or not the same
rights should extend to county boards
as well.
In the event this point is decided
a gainst the board, the members say
they still can carry their point, as there
is absolutely nothing to prevent them
from prescribing the new music course
for one year, and this, they say they'll
propose to do They say the course
which has just been adopted is far !
superior to the old one, and that the |
item of cost does not cut much figure |

WHAT MILLS" DID FOR SAN
 ERANCISC0

Mills College is proud of all its stu dents, but takes particular pride in its girls during the eventful times follow ing the disaster that overlook the beau tiful city of San Francisco and the nearby cities.
 Although the tremor was felt at the college the students showed great self control and fortitude. The morning meal was served at the usual time, and from that moment nothing daunted the spirits of the classes up to the day of graduation, the most unique and. with al, an ideal one, ever held al Mills.
 Our girls soon learned the fate of many a graduation dress that helped feed the flames in San Francisco. Their loss was soon forgotten in the thought of distress and suffering experienced by the residents of the metropolis. Realizing that their hands were need ed, they at once formed sewing circles under the direction of the faculty, and that which Mills" did in it's share for relief is a bright page in our history. Naturally we feel proud of the young women who showed by their unselfish- ness that they are the kind that make the mothers of men.

A VERY cAPARLE BODY.

The city council at the end of its second month in office has proved it. self to be a capable and business like body. It has fully justified all the hopeful things that were said of it be- fore the election. The council found it. self more seriously handicapped than any of it's predecessors had ever been. The treasury was worse than empty, and what was still worse, the munich pal credit was sadly impaired. The council was responsible for none of these conditions. It set about reform ing them at it's first meeting, when it was resolved somehow to put Phoenix on it's financial feet again. It was re- solved that in no circumstances should the credit of the city be permitted to sink any lower. There could be no i'm mediate increase in the revenues; therefore there must be a decrease Of the expenditures.
 Such retrenchments as could be made were ordered but the only one that could afford any substantial relief was the stopping of the street sprinkling.
 
 In a litt.e while it was thus made known to the citizens that the council was confronted by a condition and not a theory.
 While the council was endeavoring to find means of relief a demand was made upon it for relief forthwith. The council invited suggestions and sugges-
 
 templated relief next year or a crip- bling of the city government immedi- ately that the dust might be laid at once. Neither was practical nor to the point and when no other suggestion was offered the council came forward with a simple solution, not temporary but permanent the raising of the saloon licenses, increasing the revenues by 1000 a year.
 This was business like, and what is called constructive legislation. It was a long step forward. It leaves the gov ernment of the city in all its depart ments unimpaired and at the same time will leave the saloon business of Phoe- nix in better and more responsible hands than ever before.
 The two-months-old council is to be commended upon Its start, which is an earnest that within the life of this council Phoenix will be in a better financial shape than 1t has been for years. At the same time it is an earn est that the citizens of Phoenix will not be deprived of any of those bene- fits which an up-to-date municipal government confers. The council has given a guaranty already that there will be neither wastefulness nor mig gardliness, but modern progressiveness.

ICE TRUSTS HERE AND THERE.
 We are not familiar with the circum- stances attending the Toledo ice trust prosecution, which has resulted in the punishment of certain members of the trust by fine and Imprisonment. We have not been informed of the laws of the Buckeye state which the Toledo trust has been found guilty of violat- ing. nor do we know how much of trust 1t became in spite of the laws. But 1t appears that it flourished for long time until now 1t has been cut down in its fulness by Judge Kinkade. We do know that there is very robust ice combination in Phoenix and we believe if 1t could be transplanted to Toledo 1t would shortly find itse'f in the same box with the Toledo trust. At the beginning of the season we were assured that we would have cheap and independent ice, at thirty cents hun dred, not more than forty cents at the outside. The ice makers had satisfied thmselves on that point. At forty cents they would have a hard time of 1t to avoid that disgrace which MT. Carnegie dreads may remain with him in the hour and article of death. The people looked forward to midsummer cheerfully. Its ter-ors were already mitigated by the prospect Of cheap ice. Then the first thing they knew, they were chilled in the presence of the solidest and frigidest trust whose con-

stituent parts were ever frozen to- gether in this sub-tropical climate.
 We do not care to discuss our trust any further or to intimate that it is only a geographical circumstance that saves it from punishment. We would not hint that if it were in Ohio it would be sent to the work house or the peni- tentiary We merely intended at the outset to say that that Ohio judges way of dealing with trusts is the most effective. They can stand the payment of heavy fines which their customers will have to repay to them eventually with interest after the trust has as- stunned some other Protean shape for the transaction of business in the same old way. But there is no way by which the members of trusts can make their suffering customers take their places in the penitentiary.

TRIUMPHANT TOUR
 OF PIGGY ARNETT
She Won $4OO at Joplin, Missouri
 Yesterday.

The first Salt River valley horse to pick up eastern money this year is Peggy Arnett, owned by C. A. Smith Of this city and being driven in the central Missouri circuit races by w. N. Tiffany of Phoenix. Yesterday MT. Tiffany wired MT. Smith that Peggy had won the 2:S5 trot for a thousand dollar purse at Joplin, Mo, in three straight heats. without a skip, and was pulled up in each. The time made was 2:26A, 2:2413 and 2:24A.
 The thousand dollar purse, divided into four moneys, nets Peggy $4OO. Last week she took third money in the race at Carthage, Mo, and Is entered in six more 2:S5 races in the Missouri circuit. The next race will be for a thousand dollar purse in Columbia, next Tues day. Should the rest of the Missouri circuit meetings prove as satisfactory for her as the two already pulled off. she will probably be taken to the Great Western circuit, where there are some S250O purses to strive for.
 Peggy Arnett Is a young horse and made her first appearance in Phoenix. Though she showed in two or three matinee races before her first stab for the purse was during the fair last De- cember, when she got third money. MT. Tiffany and MT. Smith are nat uraIly both of them elated over her showing so far. MT. Tiffany has but one other horse with him this season, Senator Tirzah, a two-year-old of his own. Tirzah has not yet been entered and is really only now under training and whether he will be entered in any Of the later races will depend on his progress and conditions which may develop
