Propose to Aid Alaskan Railways.

Washington, March 15.-The House
committee on territories considered
government aid of Alaskan railways
and the setting aside of Hawaiian rev.
enues for public improvements today.
No action was taken on the Alaskan
railway bonds, nut the committee will
probably CONSIDER certain railways in

shall be assisted. The committee is
practically agreed that Hawaii should
be granted money for public improve
ments. but the bill allowing Hawaii to
use IS per cent of its revenues for
twenty years for inside harbor improve
ments doubtless will be amended as to
the length of time

FIRST STEP WAS TO
CALL ON THE JUDGE.

"Why if there was trouble and an agent
would write from far off country and
say If this bill passes it is going to kill
our business out here, they would rush
in, you know to the president and say
here's this agents letter. for heaven
sake we will lose all our business out
there!
"'Well, send for the judge All right
the Judge will come Sit down. Well
what is the troubles? Heavens, if this
bill passes we might as well get out of
that state All right We viii have to
see what the objections are to it; we will
have TO agltate; we will have the press
do something; we will have the politicians
do something; We will have the agents do
something; we will have the policyhold-
ers do something; we will get men of in
fluence to go ahead and see If we cannot
beat it, and We would beat it. Then
the word would come, It's beaten. AMI
they would come in and pat me on the
back, these men that would not know me

HAS NO EXCUSE TO
OFFER FOR VOUCHERS.

About the methods and vouchers:
have no excuse whatever 10 offer about
the form of the vouchers that were ac-
cepted for the disbursements that | made
to the various branch agencies The in
suranee world today Is the greatest H.
nanclal proposition in the United States.
And as great affairs always attend 1t. It
commands a higher law. In defending its
rights and its property you cannot stop
to kick every cur that comes along and
banks, and. If you could sweep them out
in others. perhaps by strenuous but hon
est ways. you are defending and asserting
the higher law which great enterprises
have right to command So 1 say when
these vouchers were given over they We're
right and when the auditing committee
approved them, then they stand as spon-
sors for themt If they did not approve
them, they they failed to perform their
duty. And the reason I come forward
now is not to apologize for these vouch-
ers. but to say this-these men with their
responsibilities upon their shoulders. and
upon mine, they have something to ac-
count for

NEW DINING CAR
VERY HANDSOME
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE HAS
RECEIVED THE FIRST OF THREE
NEW DINERS WHICH ARE OF
THE MOST MODERN MAKE.


one of the largest. most modern and
handsomest dining cars in active service
anywhere reached Birmingham yester-
day and will be attached to Louisville
and Nashville train No / at 1:20 o'clock
today.
The car. which bears the number 1913,
is one of three which have just been com
pleted for the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company, and during its stay in
the city yesterday was visited by many
railroad men.
The car is seventy-three feet long over
the snls It is finished throughout in ma
hogany. with solid cast bronze electric
light fixtures. 1t has six tables which
can scat four people and six which can
seat two persons. Each of the tables has
an Individual decorated electric table
lamp.
The ear is fitted with buffet arrange
ments at both ends. The kitchen has an
exhaust fan. something of an innovation
in dining cars and which prevents the
odors of cooking foods pervading the car
at stops. The lighting arrangements arc
peculiar and unusually handsome. each
of the incandescent globes being encased
in an opaleseent globe, the inner por-
ton of which is partially ground 10 sub
due the glare of the light.
The car Is finished in semi-rathskeller
style, this being particularly noticeable
: in the ceiling and the windows, which
are unusually wide. Under each window
is a shelf, built into the side of the car.
The glass and other tableware is of the
finest, almost every article showing eX-
| tremely good taste.
Car No. 1918 will be followed by car No
1919, which will leave on train No. 1
| Saturday afternoon. The third car will be
| here in time to take It's turn, and in the
future the three cars will be run regu-
larly between New Orleans and Blrming-
ham.

SHE DID NO ELOPE
 SAYS MRS WHITTIESEY

The Phoenix Republican has re ceived a letter from Mrs. Laura Whit tlesey of Llano, Texas, the divorced wife of Roy Whittlesey. whose trial in Phoenix for assault with intent to murder has been set for May 29. In the letter Mrs. Whittlesey tells her side of the story, which has already had a great deal of prominence, but in as much as it is not-hkely that her evidence will be brought out it might be improper to repeat her version at time so near the date of the trial.
 The essential thing, though, in the letter Is a denial of statements which have been printed regarding the char acter of Mrs. Whittlesey. It was said that she had become infatuated with Reisinger, the man with whom Whit tlesey had his duel at Tombstone at the time of the shooting of another woman there and that she had eloped with him.
 On this point the letter states that the writer and her husband had for 3 long time been unable to agree and that at last their relations became so unbearable that she was compelled to leave. Reisinger was her cousin, and as she had no other relative or friend in Bisbee she turned to him for pro- lection and remained in the territory only long enough to prepare herself for a divorce. As soon as possible after she had secured 1t she returned to the home of her relatives in Texas.

More Details of important Strike Made
 in Black Hawk Property.

Globe, Ariz.-The strike on the 400 foot level of the Black Hawk grows in importance. The Black Hawk Is undoubtedly the greatest ore body ever opened in the Globe district, excepting the Old Dominion
 The crosscut on the 40e-foot level is in solid ore and the drill holes are four feet in ore with no indications of reaching the hanging wall
 On the 300-foot level of the Black Hawk the ore assayed B per cent Iron, II per cent sulphur, G ounces silver and per cent copper. The ore on the 400-foot level averages to assay twice as rich as above, carefully taken sam pies giving returns of per cent copper. Other values have not as yet been determined. Through the ore body are punches of carbonates assaying as high as 50 per cent copper.
 The Copper Hill mine of the Ari- zona Commercial Company is also on the third and sixth levels.
 The Black Hawk shaft is down 4S0 feet and crosscutting will begin at the 500-foot level next Monday.

IRON MINES NEAR
 sELIGMAN ARE SOLD

The Prescott Journal-Miner says that a deal was perfected "Wednesday which means much in an industrial way for the northern part of this coun- ty and the town of Seligman in par tic,,lar. when the title to tract Of land covering the largest known de- posit of iron ore in the county was placed is escrow in a local bank by J.. e. Harrington, the locator and owner, who received 25 per cent Of the pur- chase price, which was not made pub lie, from the representative of a syn dicate of Philadelphia capitalists The land in question is situate about fif- teen miles west of Seiigman, from which place a railroad can be easily built, the topography of the country being such that an easy grade can be surveyed through the foothills without encountering precipitous places or deep gorges. The group of claims, consisting of seven full locations, coy- CTS an entire mountain, which is part iy isolated from the other eminences of the range. An ample supply of water for all purposes can be easily developed, and the place is an ideal one from a climatic standpoint for op- erations at all seasons of the year. During the past few years Mir. liar rington, who has never lost faith in the value of his discovery, has car ried on the development work of his mine in an unpretentious way until today, when by actual measurement there are said to be over ,500, 900 tons of ore in sight, blocked out, and ready for the furnace. Te new owners of the ground have already matured plans for the extensive development of the mine, which, it is expected will in comparatively short time be one of the industrial centers of northern Arizona, and the only camp in the Ter ritory solely in the iron manufacturing industry.

HEAVY OPERATOR
 IN WARREN DISTRICT

Hoval A. Smith of Bisbee was a Phoenix visitor last week. MT. Smith though one of the large operators in the Bisbee district, seldom comes to Phoenix, and his trip this time was a social rather than a bushes svisit. He has had much dealing with the surveyor generals office in a business way, but was not acquainted with the officials personally, so, having a few days at his disposal, previous to going to Los Angeles for an extended stay, he thought he would go to Phoenix and get acquainted with few more of his Arizona friends.
 Mir Smith is a mining engineer by profession and was for a long time connected with the Bonanza Circle in that capacity. Later, he resigned that position and has been since then in the Bisbee dis trict in the promotion and develop ment of other properties, but in con- junction with the same group of capi- talists. The Warren and other of the promising mines under development have had his special care though he has probably taken options on more new holdings in the Warren district during the last year or two, than any other man.
