cause all of the lines will be prepar- ed.
 When asked for his opinion con cerning the operation of the two-cent fare laws in various states he said:
 q believe in low passenger rates, and believe that in sections of the country where railroads travel through thickly populated districts, two-cent fare is alright. But on the other hand there are a great many portions of the country where a railroad passes through a country that is sparsely set tied, and I think it unjust to enforce a two-cent rate. In reality l believe low passenger rate encourages peo- pie to travel but it should not be made so low that a railroad is forced to operate at a loss.
 The rate problem is one that will be worked out as time goes on. The railroads on one hand. not demanding too high a tariff. while the public on the other, should give the matter thorough study. and not subject cem- panies to such laws that the stock holders cannot realize a fair profit on their investment. It is a question which concerns practically everyone in the country and it's solution will come in time so that everyone will be treated equitably. and what dis pUte now exists will be forgotten

CONGESTION NOW DISAPPEARING
 RAPIDLY
Schumacher Traffic Manager of Fl Paso & Southwestern, Talks on Conditions in the Southwest

Among the arrivals in the city yes terday from the east was T. NJ. Schu- macher. traffic manager of the Fl Paso & Southwestern system. who makes his headquarters in Chicago. It is his intention to spend today here, leaving this evening for Globe and the north ern portion of the territory. return ing again Saturday and going into Cananea. after which he will return to Bisbee.
 When seen at the Copper Queen hotel last evening by a representa- tive of the Rview, and asked concern ing the nature of his trip, as well as railroad conditions in general, Mir. Schumacher said:
 T am merely travelling over our lines on a routine trip of inspection. and will spend little more time than usual because of the fact that I have been unable to make my unusual visit for some time past. I have already been over the eastern and western di- visions, and find matters in very good condition. the congested state of af- fairs having almost entirely disappear ed. On the eastern division there is no longer any congestion whatever, while on this end there IS still some. but even that Is being cleared away rapidly.
 Not only have I found this condi- tion on our lines, but also on those of the other railroads in the south west. I hardly think that there will be any truble in handling the traffic during the next few months even though there is a large increase. be

BOARD BILL
 OVER YEAR OLD
Mrs. Webster of Chihuahua Hill Gets S110 She Thought
 Was Lost

One woman on Chihuahua Hill will soon be happy in the possession of S110, due on a board bill over year old. which she had given up hopes of ever seeing again. The case came up in Judge Burdicks court yester- day afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Webster was the plaintiff and David O'Neill the defendant.
 The circumstances, as brought out by the evidence, were as follows: The defendant boarded and rOomed with the plaintiff for about three months, with the exception of two or three weeks. At the end of that time he left here to be treated for rheumatism. He re turned recently with $500 on his person, but lost $90 of this in poker game before he was located by the of ficers. The remaining S210 was gar nisheed and O'Neill was arrested charged with beating a board bill.
 The defendant testified in his own behalf that he had done chores about the house, that the plaintiff was not running a regular boarding house at that time and that he and one other man were the only parties taking their meals there, and that he had at one time paid S20 on the bill. This last statement Mrs. Wooster denied stating that sha supposed ne referred to the time when she was keeping him in smoking tobacco and keeping a shirt on his back. She admitted that he had at one time paid her s on the account, but that he had soon after ward borrowed that much from her.
 Judge Burdick found him guilty and will pass sentence on him tomorrow. Asked if there was any reason why he should not have sentence passed against him the defendant replied that he wanted trial by jury, and that he wanted counsel The judge told him that he had ample time in which to notify the court and had been ad- yised that such were his privileges. O'Neill has lived in this section IS years and Is g well known character.
 A claim held against the defendant by Geo. McGilley better known as Watermelon George" was also allow ed.
