COMPANY
 ELECTS DIRECTORS

President Henry Hamburg, Of the Princeton Mining Company operating in the Huachuca mountains, was a passenger for Hereford yesterday morning. from which point he expect ed to make the trip overland to the property. The purpose of Hamburg's visit to the city was to attend meet ing of the stockholders of the cor pOration. which was held at the Copper Queen hotel.
 At the meeting the following stock holders were chosen to act as direct ors of the company during the ensuing year: Henry Hamburg. L. Devere Hamburg. J. NJ. O'Connell, W. 4. Love, John L. Jackson and Claude NJ. Ben nett. A meeting of the directors will be held at the property during the two weeks for the purpose of electing officers.
 The Princeton property came into prominence two months ago when an extensive body of ore was opened up. The body was high grade in character, and it's dimensions were such as to convince those interested that with proper development the property would be a producing mine within a short time.
 Since the finding of the ore opera tions have been pushed forward with all speed

FIRE BREAKS OUT 5
 IN MUHE|M BLOCK
Defective FIue From ReStau- rant Starts Blaze Under
 Flooring of Store.

About 6:30 last evening considerable excitement was caused by the break ing out of a fire in the Muheim Block on Brewery Avenue, caused by a de- fective flue, leading to the room from the Edelweiss Cafe in the basement of the building. After two attempts were made by the fire department the blaze was eXtinguiShed.
 The alarm was sounded from the CZar siren, and the department made the run to the Muheim bloc kin a few minutes. Inspection at that time only showed that grease. which had be come cOngested in. the flue between the Muheim and Schmidt buildings, was on fire. The department return ed the apparatus to the city hall, but in about ten minutes another call was sounded, and again the run was made. This time it was found that fire had broken out between the ceiling of the cafe and the floor of the Brown store, directly overhead.
 An altercation took place between the officers of the fire department and the propTietOrs of the Brown store, as the latter did not think it necessary to have water played into their estab- lishment. The department, however, was successful in the argument, and a hole was cut in the floor. It was found that the flooring was ablaze underneath. The prompt action of the department undoubtedly saved the building as the fire was making rapid progress.
 An investigation disclosed the fact that the joices under the floor of the Brown store came into contact with the 1ue from the restaurant, which became red hot, causing the fire.
 The damage done was very slight.

M'GREGOR LEADS
 INSURANCE RACE
Local Man Is Ahead of Agents Of ntire Country for Hon. .
 oray Position

IL was learned last evening that John II. McGregor, representing one of the old line life insurance compas nies in the Warren District, is in the lead for the presidency of what is known as the Two Hundred Thousand Dollar Club, an organization of life insurance agents who have written up- wards of $2O0,o00 worth of insurance during the past year.
 The presidency of the club Is en- tirely an honorary position and is con- ferred on the man who writes the largest amount of business during the year. Formerly it carried with iU cer- tain perquisites, but since the graft expose iii the big insurance companies iii New York the legislature of that state has forbidden expresseIy any emoluments.
 At the present time McGregor has to his credit $490,O00 worth of insur- ance which he has written during the past year. Second to McGregor is J. W. Well, of Chicago; third, J. H. Ran dolph, of Philadelphia and E. F. Cutler Of Butte, Montana.
 The contest closes on the first day of July, at which time McGregor stated last night he expects to have a total of $575, 1000 worth of insurance, which amount he believes will guarantee him the presidency of the club.
 Last year J. W. Well, who is now second in the race, was president of the club, and won the honor by writing s540.000 worth of insurance. The gaining of the prize by an Arizona man against something over S0e6 agents i throughout the United States is look ed upon as an honor for the territory

 He says that the population is growing so fast that the demands up- on the mines are much beyond their capacity, and that the needs and re- quirements of the people will give a greater tonnage of coal to the rail way company. . Mir. Park very cor rectly and wisely advises the people to lay in their coal suplies at once, before the fall crops pour their vast tonnage upon all the Western lines. IL is said the car shops of the United States have orders on their books for upward Of 200 900 cars, and the loco motive works have orders for months ahead, and yet with all this immense new equipment there will be exhibi- ted next autumn, winter and spring the same failure of the railways to do the business of the country speedily and efficiently. This is not said in a spirit of criticism, for the managers are as anxious as the public 10 do all the business offered promptly, but it is given as an illustration of the ever increasing demands of the public upon the transportation lines Of the couu- try, and permanent relief is not in sight for many years to come. and only after the expenditure of many hun dreds of millions of dollars. With these widespread present conditions it : is asinine folly for railway presidents to berate and threaten the public or the people Of a state or section. They have their hands full, and can keep their brains actively employed in pro- yiding facilities for the traffic which comes to their stations and crossings They can afford to do large business with less expense per ton and per pas senger than they can a small one. and the large and growing bushes is right upon them now and will continue to increase for years in the future They may charge betterments co expenses and thus reduce net earnings. in order l to make a moderate earning instead ol an actual large earning, but even this expediment will not be found lasting as acoyer or a refuge from publicity 1 of the truth.

INVESTORS LED BY FALSE
 REPORTS
Trust MagnateS, Trying to Scare Congress with Fakes, Instead Frightened People with Money to Invest,

NEW YORK, June 5.-Railroad man agers are having a very difficult time between investors and the public. Dur ing the pendency of the rate bills and other railway legislation in congress. able writers were kept busy detailing in the public prints the losses that would undoubtedly result to the rail ways in the case the proposed legis- iation was enacted. Many investors believed these statements, which were not made for their consumption, but were put out to Influence congress men and affect general public senti- ment. These statements have proved to be boomersngs. The congressman knew they were prepared by the rail way lobby and promotion bureau. The people as a rule paid no attention to them The investors, always fearful and attentive to affairs affecting theiT securities. were then only persons who read. reflected and resolved to pur- chase no more under such frlghtful impending disasters. Some very prom inent railway presidents are still pro claiming, protesting and prophesyine dire results and in vestOrs are listen ing and not buying. Other wiser rail way officials sare saying not a word but doing as do the, people~of France the very best they can's 1t is cer taiuly no. remarkable that the market for railway stocks and bonds is den1or zaiized when the leading New York newspapers devote columns to the speeches and interviews of the prom tsient railway presidents,z deploriue present conditions and depicting ths woes that VIII come to railways and 10 certain sections of this coantry Il public opinioc as to railways becomes crystalized into law. fff

NEW YORK LIFE GETS OUT.

FL PASO, Texas, June 6.-The New York Life has not been making fuss for nothing over the new Texas law taxing insurance companies. It really means. to cease soliciting business in the state and has ordered all its agents to get out by July 10.
 J. w. Shipman, local agent for the company, received a telegram yester- day notifying him to close the office on the first of July, and asking him to inform his polfcyholders in Texas that they will have to make their July remittances to the St. Louis office

business for the profits to be made in that method of transportation. He was an unobstrusiTe, successful rail road man. The people of the East, of the North, of the South, of the West do not want the railway companies bankrupted, they do ont wish the prop critics of the companies confiscated, but they do want ample and full com petition in every portion of the coun- try and no monopoly of the carrying franchises by any line or system. There are not enough railway lines in this country to serve the people of the country in an efficient manner, and yet proposed competing lines in the East, the North or the South will find fierce opposition fomented and sustained by existing lines, and in very few states east of the Missippi river can competing lines be estab- lished. If existing lines can not give good service without loss to their shareholders, why not let others who desire to establish new lines be freely given the franchises which will permit them to go into business?
 The truth is the great majority of existing lines are maxi ngvast sums of money, and even in this prolonged campaign of railway men to prove pow erty the reports of gross earnings and of net earnings contradict them week after week and month after month. l On a fair and honest valuation of actual investment it Is doubtful if any class of enterprise in the United States pays as good, steady return and profit as railroad companies in which the al, gers and directors. Of course some readers may say this limits the rail road companies to very small class.
 Admit it does; but. if so, it proves the evil lies not in the business. but in the business management, and certain management and the methods of the management are what the pub lie and investors alike object to un- der existing conditions.
 There is no disaster facing rail
 way interests from the people or from the lawmaking powers of the states or republic.
 There is nothing in the bushes situation but indication. of increased
 business for the railway companies

 At the conclusion of Orchard's story. Attorney Richardson, of the defense. be- gan, without moments hesitation to examine Orchard Orchard said he was born in Canada. his father and mother being dead. He had one brother and six sisters.
