Beneath the Flying and
Belated Limited.

Los Angeles. MAY 22.-While cross
ing a trestle ten miles north Of this
city early this morning the Coast Line

place by train wreckers and six cars.
five containing passengers or railroad
employees We're hurled into Arroyo
Seco, sixteen feet below. Two men
We're killed and more than a dozen
passengers and employees injured.
What is considered convincing evi-
dence of the method employed to
wreck the train was discovered almost
before the injured had been removed
from the crushed and Splintered cars
Just at the edge Of the trestle. the
bolts and plates OF two rails had been
removed and a heavy wire. fastened to
the head of each rail joined in such
fashion that a person standing on a
sloping hillside. many wards distant
could pull the rails from their place
That this means was used TO wreck
the train there seems no reason to
doubt
The Southern Pacific has offered a
reward Of $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the persons responsible
for the wreck. Many private detec-
tives and deputies from the sheriffs
office are securing the surrounding
country for the miscreants. The train
was three hours late. according To the
engineer and fireman and was run
ming thirtyfive or forty miles an hour
The engine stopped on solid ground
after running fifty yards on the ties.
The dead are T. ]. Mcmahon. an
electrician. Of Santa Barbara, supposed
! to have beer stealing a ride. and
James Victor. residence unknown. also
supposed to have been stealing a ride.

Mexico City. May 22.-News of the

To head his revolution Zelaya has
chosen DIR. Prudencio Alfara. who

IRfLAND'S NtW POSITION
DEFINED BY O'CONNOR.
II Has Lost Nothing. But Has Taken
on Greater Obligations by the Re-
lection of the Irish Bill.

Dublin, May 22.-T. p. OConnor. NJ.
p, in a speech today before the United
Irish League of Great Britain said
the situation created by the conven-
tion in the rejection of the Irish bill
imposes new and large duties and may
necessitate some change of policy.
He added: Instead of reaching the
end of the chapter OF Irish misgovern-
ment, We have to open new chapter.
L believe the house of lords was deter
mined TO destroy the Irish bill in any
case, but if it had been satisfactory.
the bill would have marked the closing
of a certain chapter i'm Irish history.
Now We have to recommence work.
There is now imposed on the Irish an
obligation making a stronger sterner
and more energetic struggle. / believe
the rejection of the bill has not retard-
ed for a single hour the erection in
Ireland of a great assembly TO make
laws for Ireland on Irish SOIL
O'Connor was reelected president of

ENGLISH FIGHTER SUMMERS
Made Coed Showing Against Tom

Philadelphia. May 22.-Tommy Muir
ply of New York and John Summers
of England fought one of the hardes;
six round battles ever witnessed I'm this
city at the National Athletic club to-
night. 1t was Summers first appear
ance in the ring in this country and he
made an excellent impression. In the
first round he dropped Murphy with n
right TO the jaw, and in the second
round the Harlem fighter was floored
twice and only the oyer-anxiety OF
Summers to stop Murphy saved the
latter from taking the count. Murphy
grew stronger as the fight progressed
and more than held his own in the
third, fourth and fifth rounds. while
the sixth WAS about even. Murphy's
stomach punches had the Englishman

AGREEMENT
Reached by the Presbyter'
ian General Assembly
After IL Bitter Fight the
Amti-SalOOn League Is
Endorsed.

Columbus. Ohio, May 22.-Following
two hours of an exciting debate. which
at times became acrimonious. the
Presbyterian general assembly today
adopted without a dissenting vote a
resolution declaring that the perma-
nent committee on temperance should
not embark or interfere in political
work, and endorsing the American
anti-saloon league as Il safe. sane and
effective organization in the advance
ment of temperance. The assembly
pledged to the league its fullest coop
Grafton consistent with the constitu-
tion of the church." The report OF the
committee on church policy was pre-
sented by Rev. Dr. William V. Fulton,
of Philadelphia.
Ii reported a resolution that while
commending the achievements OF the
anti-saloon league, the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union and like So
cieties, the assembly reaffirms the
policy OF the church to avoid official
representation in non-ecclesiastical
bodies, but recommends no objections
TO members and ministers connecting
themselves with such societies as in
dividuals.
Rev. L. o. Whitewell of Oklahoma
City, opposed the report and made an
impassioned plea in behalf Of the work
which he has been doing in connection
with the anti-saloon league toward Sc
curing the provision for prohibition in
the constitution Of Oklahoma. He de-
clared that he had been threatened by
the brewery interests who told him
when that Presbyterian general as
sembly met he would be called "off his
perch" When threats had failed, h
said an effort had been made to buy
him off with contributions to the
church. He pleaded with the assembly
not to put a burning torch in the
hands OF the brewery interests.
When Rev. Mr.. Semple proposed that
the report Of the committee on policy
be passed and that the report of the
standing committee on temperance BE-
received, the assembly acquiesed. Rev.
Mr.. Dosker of Louisville reported that
the committee had acted adversely on
overtures asking that the inter-church
temperance federation movement be
abandoned and the anti-saloon league
endorsed.
DR.. w. c. Thompson, president OF
the Ohio State university came for
ward with a substitute resolution. bar
ring permanent temperance commit
tees from any participation in political
affairs and it was subsequently adopt
ed. In reply to questions he said he
would not object to the endorsement
Of the anti-saloon league. Rev. Dr..
Semple thereupon offered an amend
ment endorsing the league.
From that time until $40 o'clock
when the vote on the resolutions was
taken the time was occupied with an
exciting debate. during which the mod
orator frequently found it necessary to
rap for order.

A HURRY CALL TO
NEGLIGENT FARMERS
Those Under the Lower Canals Who
Have Not Yet Bought Water, Have
But Few Days of Grace.

The attention of the water users un-
der the Salt and Maricopa canals is
called TO the fact that time is fleet
ing. the first day of June is almost
here, and a great many of these water
users have not yet bought their sum-
mer water. The government has an
nounced and advertised the fact that
no water will be delivered through
these canals this summer except IL
has been bought and paid for by June
1st.
This announcement is made advis-
edly and the farmers should remember
that conditions have changed. They
are now dealing with the government.
or Will be if they deal at all. and the
government in respect OF irrigation

and they may act or not as they see
Git. The government however. means
just what it says and there will be no
scurrying around among the farmers
by government agents. trying TO sell
surplus water after the time has ex-
pired
When tine first day of June comes.
II is a pretty well established fact that
the farmer who has not appeared at
room in the reclamation suite in the
postoffice building. and signed up his
contract. will have no later OppOrtu-
nifty TO do so this season. IL he wants
water in the summer of 1907 now is
the time TO think about 1t and arrange
for it. Unlike a private canal COM
pany. which might if it cared TO- make
some later arrangements to pick up
the tardy dollars. the government has
well formed plan of just what it is
going To do and will do ii whether the
water patrons are many or few in
number.
These remarks are published merely
as a reminder to the people who have
thus far neglected the matter. that
they cannot later plead their ignO-
rance OF what is necessary. II any
farmer sees this and does not yet un-
derstand he will do well to call at the
reclamation offices where all possible
information will be furnished 30 him.
