RAILROADS DEMAND
BETTER STEEL RAILS
Hartman Takes the Lead in Giving Orders to Independent
Steel Companies and the Other officials will Fall
Into the Plan Unless Trust Pre- mses to be Good.

New York, June 5.-Aroused by
the enormous increase in the quantity
of broken steel rails resulting in an
Unusual number of wrecks with con-
sequent loss Of property and life,
the railroads OF the country are maxi
ing a determined and united effort to
compel the United States Steel cor
poratiOn, which supplies practically
all the roads in the country, to give
better and more reliable rail.
The American Railway association,
composed of the executive heads AMI
operating officials of the great sys-
TENS, representing 100000 miles Of
railways, has appointed a committee
to consider the problem and deal
with the steel corporation.
This committees demands will be
backed solidly by the railroads. 1t
has had half dozen meetings and
will have another within a few days.
1t has had representatives of the

James B. Hoge, of Cleveland, Makes the Demand in His
Address Before the Independent Telephone
Convention in Chicago.

Chicago, June 8. Demand for

the telephone men that unless they
follow policy of fair and equal
rates to all patyons they will be
called to answer for their 'lelin-
quencies before state on national
tribunalc.
Besides denomcing rebating Mr..
HCge urged the telephone managers
in the independent field to refrain
from destructive warfare with
their competitors. He charged that
the "Bell monopoly" interests are
using Slo0J0,OO0,OOO year for
war measures and declared the prin-
Cigal Bell company has "practically

What Others Say.

Students of history are asking if
there is not a menace TO the coun-
Try in Theodore Rooseyelt's pOpu-
larity. These students are not dis
lgruntled. They are admirers of the
president. They believe him to be
a great and a good man. But in
reviewing history they claim to see
that it is not well for any country
when one Of ats citizens becomes
sc popular that his wish is at once
declared the law of the land.
Take the case Of the men being
tried out in Idaho for the murder
Of the governor OF that state. And
certainly we have no desire TO en-
ter into capital-and-Iabor contro-
versy. Mr.. Roosevelt stated in a
public communication that they
were undesirable citizens. " That
may be the case, but the men are
being tried for committing a crime
ether than that of Icing "mdesira-
lie citizens" and they are entitled
to a fair trial. Now, so popular ia
Mr.. Roosevelt tltat his mere state
nCnt that the men are undesirable
citizens" might send them to the
gallows for murder-not because
they are guilty, but because the
jury might be influenced by what
so popular man as Mr.. Roose-
welt says.
Richard II of England was in
jail. BOlingbroke, a most popular
nan, made the remark that Eng
land would be better off if Richard
II was dead. Next, day Richard II
was dead, 'oully murdered; and his
mmderers, so far from trying to
keep their crime q secret. openly
boasted Of 1t and wanted to be re-
warded. 1t would be parallel ease
If the jury trying the accused men
cut West should hang them and
then ask to be appointed postmas-
ters by the president.
Another case. Henry IL thought
out loud that Beckett was a menace
to the country. Henry II at the
time was surrounded by a lot of
cCurtiers who idolized him, lust as
great many people ;dolize Theo-
dore Roose 1eit. Beckett was killed
shortly after Henry II "tbought"
1t would be a good thing. history
Is full of Sucll instances.
So popular is Mr.. Roosevelt TO-
day that ne has bat to point his
ilnger at n man to make him IA
nous or Infamous. The whole coun-
try has gone Roosevelt crazy. So
far At has worked little harm. A
few men may have suffered on ac-
count OF 1t, but in the great major
lty OF cases the country has profited
by the presidents popularity. But
thst does not lessen the fact that
thore may be danger in such pop
uiamty. There will certainly be
danger in it if it comes TO the
poht where any man will bt con-
dtmned for cIiticis'ug Roosevelt.
That Is the great privilege Of n
reoubllc-to be able to criticise anv
man, to weigh him in the balance

d,Ged eye and am eve mafraid

The latest republican plan to get
rid of the surplus Is pension the

TO old for active work. IF that is
done all employees Of the govern
ment, whether clerks, artisans or

civil pension list added to the mil
itary pensions, the increased gov

THE SMALL AMOUNT IS KEPT IN CONSTANT ACTIVITY PASSING
 FROM ONE TO ANOTHER
Outside of the Banks Reserve Fund It Is Estimated that About s1OO,OOO Is Floating Around in the Old Pueblo Cash Supply Steadily Gaining.

TUCSON, November l5.--With the clearing house plan in operation here more than week, there have been issued in certificates by the three banks of the city, only about $6,000 according to J. NJ. Ormsby, cashier of the Arizona National bank.
 This small sum is taken as an indi- cation that there is considerable money in the city in the possession of the business men and residents. It is a conservative estimate that there is at least $100,000 in cash in Tucson out side of the money which the banks have.
 It was learned at the banks today that the clearing house certificates cir culate rapidly and as result there has been little call to issue additional certificates. At the meeting which the members of the clearing house held last Saturday afternoon, it was found that only about 5000 had been issued and since that time that there has not been more than sl,OO0 additional of the scrip put out.
 This is taken as the strongest in. dication that the city is in good shape financially and that despite the diff eulty that is being experienced gener- ally in securing ready cash, Tucson is pretty we'll fortified in this respect.

cers that the man who shot him was Henry Buckner and that he was riding black horse. Witnesses to the trag- edy stated that the man had rode west on Mesquite street and that after fir. ing the shot had galloped his horse south along the railroad. Ranger An. derson immediately took up the chase and found the trail leading out over schoolhouse hill. By dismounting and lighting matches occasionally he fol. lowed the trail about four miles from the city, where he met Henry Buckner coming toward Globe wabbling in his saddle and apparently intoxicated.
 Buckner was placed under arrest and later informed of the charge against him. He stated that he had been out to mining camp, leaving the city about 1 clock, and that he knew nothing whatever of the tragedy. He has since protested his innocence.
 Rawlins & Little, the well known local attorneys, will assist District At torney Henry in the prosecution of the case.
