Administration Watching with Keen Interest Developments In Ohio Political Campaign, Presidents Picture Kissed.

WASHINGTON. April II. - The President and his lieutenants are watching with the most intent inter est developments in the Ohio political campaign. They realize that the out come of this struggle wIil he of the t;most mn!ACnt to the administration. Iha impression made by Senl-pe For aker when he opens his Ight at Can. ton this week, what he uas to say. how he is received and the feeling manifested toward Taft and the ad- ministration, will be reported to the White House by astute political ob- servers.
 The remarkable statement is made and the persons close to the President that if need be he will get into the Buckeye State fight personally; that rather than See Foraker win he will make one or more addressez himself to the ohio voters.
 No one who knows the Presidents disposition to jump into fray, doubts that he would like to do this. and will do it if the situation appears very bad from his standpoint, unless held back by his advisers in the Cabinet. He would be glad to continue in Ohio his long-standing controversy with Foraker, with whom he had a memor. able clash at the Gridiron Club din. ner some weeks ago. That clash merely whetted the Presidents appe. tite. He would like to pound Fora. ker deep into the political earth be yond hope of resurrection.

PHOENIX, April 11.-Though the last legislature failed to pass any rail road legislation, Arizona shippers are to have relief, if B. A. Packard, Dwight B. Heard and several promi- nent Phoenix merchants, who will hold a meeting in Phoenix this week to organize. can bring the interstate commerce commission to believe there are inequalities in the present freight rates.
 Packerd is in the city from Naco to be here for several days and at tend the meeting at which Several prominent shippers will organize to gather data on the freight business. and if they cannot induce the con- mission to come here and investigate they will send representative to Washington, D. C., to lay the facts before the commission there.
 Several thousand dollars will be raised by Packard, Heard and those associated with them to defray the expenses of a campaign they will wage for better freight rates. Pack ard has already received ass,..-ace from several of the biggest shippers that they will contribute to the fund one shipper wiring him that he will give 5000 toward the work.
 Packard is probably as familiar with the freight rates and the hard ship they work on Arizona shippers as any man in Arizona. Handling the business of Colonel W. C. Greene

in this territory, Packard has had a chance to learn where reforms are needed
 The 24th legislature defeated two bills, which had for their purpose a railroad commission for Arizona, one of them with the power to investigate and report to the interstate cOmmis- zion.
 The organization Packard intends to perfect will have powers equal to one of the railroad commissions the legislature turned down. though it will be without official standing.
 An expert railroad man will be employed to compile the data, taking the freight tariffs of all the Arizona railroads as well as the rates on rail- roads running into and out of the territory. Tables will be drawn to show the unfairness of some of the rates and the discrimination that works to the advantage of eastern and western shippers and against the home merchants in both retail and wholesale business.
 By taking freight matters before the interstate commission with data to back up assertions that are made Packard and his associates believe that some of the evils that now ex- ist on Arizona railroads will be changed
 Cities that will especially benefit by the correction of present condi- tions are Phoenix, Globe, Bisbee, Prescott and the smaller towns which surround those cities and come with in their business jurisdiction.

ARIZONA FUGITIVE

Sheriff Hayden of Maricopa County Now In California
 After Eytinge,
Especial to Review.l


 PHOENIX, April ti.-Sheriff Hay im left Phoenix Tuesday night for San Rafael, California, where Louis v. Eytinge, is in the custody of the sheriff of that county. Eytinge is charged with the murder of John Leicht in this county about three weks ago by chloroforming him to death. The two young men went for | ride in the country and Leichts dead 52d= vas found in the brush. Eytinge returned to Phoenix the next day alone and immediately left town. He was located by the Arizona of ficers through information furnished by a theatrical troupe which was in Phoenix last week. Members Of the troupe saw Eytinge in San Pedro and he was traced from that point to the northern part of the state. A thou sand dollars reward was offered by the county and territory for his Gap ture. Sheriff Hayden is expected here tomorrow with his prisoner.
 Eytinge's murder of Leicht by first giving him knockout drops and then using chloroform to finish his brutal crime ranks as one of the most fiend. ish crimes in Arizona criminal annals. Since his brutal deed, Eytinge has by his boldness made known to the pub. lie his location. He even looks as if he has courted nOtoriety, and lost sight of the danger of capture it brought.
 Sheriff Taylor. in one telegram to Sheriff Hayden, received here yester day, states that the capture was made about o'clock in San Francisco, and that Eytinge has confessed to killing a man in Arizona. Eytinge at times acts like an insane man.

EX-GOV. WOLFLEY ID BUILD WALL
 FOR 50. PAC.
Negotiations Being Carried On to Prevent Repetition of Out break of Colorado River Into Satton Sea.

Former Governor Wolfley is enaged la negotiating with the Southern Pa ellie Railroad company for contract to prevent a repetition of the out break of the Colorado river into the Salton sea. The plans of Mir. Wolf ley were submitted to Col Randolph and board of Southern Pacific en- gineers and were approved. The en- sineenrs admitted their effectiveness and the cost involved was less than half that of any other proposed plan for the river. It was thought at that time that the government would come to the aid of the railroad company but it was decided that the expense should be borne by the two parties most directly interested. the railroad company and the Mexican govern ment The company. however, is still aware of the necessity of securing it. self against another disastrous out break and it is understood that the plans of MT wolfley are to Be adopt ed and contract awarded to him for performing the work
 In general way his pians ln- yolye the construction of a cement retaining wall along that parc of the river where leyees have been con structed and where the break will occur if one occurs at all. The idea of the wall is by no means a new one for there is such g wall along the low CT Mississippi in various sections, but those walls were built regardless of expense. The wall that Mr. Wolfley proposes to construct will cost only a Irifle of the part of one of those Mississippi walls and according to the engineers will be equally as effective.
 It is proposed to sink holes along the river bank to considerable depth and fill them with cement by hydraul- ic pressure These holes wlu ue iu- cated so near each other that when the cement is forced into them by great hydraulic force the wall so formed will be practically solid one However loose the soil into which they are sunk may be, it will furnish the cement piers with sufficient back $ng tp withstand the fiercest en- croach of the flood.
 Mir Wolfley is also engaged in an other matter which is awakening the lfveliest interest of the engineers along the coast He has discovered means of controlling wave power. No description of the device has been given, but Los Angeles engineers said that they were astounded at ihe simplicity of it. Steps have ben talk en and completed to secure patent for the more important points of the Gevice. t is said that vii! control the power for 100 miles G:Cng the coast or 100 feet. Py means of it cheap power can be furnished 10 the entire state of California. It was f,Tti.cI said by an en.:ineer that tho only wonderful thing about 1t is that nobody ever thought about it hcIorc. A practical test of it is to be made in aJUut six weeks. ..... ..-.
