RAILWAY TROUBLE
HAS Been SETTLED
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RAIL
WAY EMPLOYEES AND Il. st.
DECIDED.

An amicable settlement has been
brought about over the differences ex-
listing between the railway employees
and the Tonopah and Tidewater rail-
way. Ever since the absorption of
the Bullfrog and Goldfield railway by
the Tonopah and Tidewater, a ques-
ton that has caused serious trouble
and might have led to a far greater
one, has arisen. The amount of track
age purchased by the Tonopah and
Tidewater has been lightweight
miles. The employees of the Tonopah
and Goldfield railroad were dismissed
by the officials of the Tonopah and
Tidewater, who had taken over this
branch. The railway employees,
through their union. Immediately
took the matter up and made the con-
tention that one-third of the former
employees of the Tonopah and Cold
field railway were entitled to situa-
tions under the new deal. The mat
ter was referred to the grand lodge Of
ficers of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen, who Immediately sub
mitted proposition on behalf of the
employees to the officials of the Tono-
pah and Underwater, who rejected the
proposal but agreed to submit the
matter to arbitration. General Man
ager A. G. Wells of the Santa Fe rail
way was chosen by both sides as sole
arbitrator, his decision to be final
Mr.. Wells carefully considered the
matter and his decision handed down
the latter part of this week was in
favor of the men. Too much credit
can not be given to all parties con.
cerned in the matter and the outcome
is another evidence in favor of the
principle of arbitration.

MUCH NEEDED
IMPROVEMENT
TONOPAH TO HAVE BUSINESS
PLACES AND RESIDENCES
NUMBERED.

The work of correctly and sys-
tematically numbering business places
and residences is under way. The
merchants are realizing the conven-
fence of having this done and in adj
dition to having their own places
numbered are recommending it for
the residence section.
1t certainly will be benefit to the
merchants, insuring prompt delivery
and also an aid to strangers in quest
of any given place, and we are glad to
see this additional step taken toward
placing Tonopah among the up-to.
date cities.

with the financial kings Of America.
The principal character is John
Burkett Ryder in whom pIaygoers
will recognize a well-known Ameri-
can, famous as the richest man in
the world and very much in the pub
lie eye at the present time. But the
story Of the great fight between this
money king and his political oppon-
ents is subservient to the love inter
est which is the dominating and
dominant feature throughout the
drama, reaching its climax at the
close of the powerful third act,
wherein mere girl enters the pri-
yate library of John Burkett Ryder
and after a stormy scene denounces
the money king and gains ioH be
father, a supreme court justice, com
plete vindication. 1t is the crucial
scene of the play and has been con-
ceded to be one of the most power
ful and stimulating pieces of acting
ever incorporated in present day

one JUSTICE DISSENTS
Justice Harlan Shows Deep Feeling
Announcing Opposite Opinion
and Declaring Matter Is
of Great Import.

Washington, March 24.-Not
within several years has any decis-
ion of the supreme court occasioned
so much comment among the great
lawyers of congress as has that of
yesterday in the Minnesota law
Though the question Immediately
before the court was that of releas-
ing an attorney general who had
tried to enforce a law in a state
court after having been enjoined by
a federal court, the effect OF the
courts decision is virtually to nulli-
fly Minnesota's S law for the reduction
of railroad rates. Judge Peckham,
who rendered the decision, remark
ed that it was evidently the purpose
of the makers of the statute to
prescribe penalties so extreme that
mo one would have the courage to
bell the cat, thereby putting the
railroad under duress.
I No less notable than the opinion
itself was the dissenting opinion of
/ Justice Harlan and especially the
manner in which it was delivered.
/ Lawyers who have attended the sit
tings of the supreme court for many
years say they recall no scene in that
tribunal so dramatic. That Justice
/ Harlan was much perturbed by the
decision of the court was manifest
! during the reading of the opinion by
Justice Peckham. Several times he
left his seat and walked back and
! forth nervously in the rear of the
! justices. When it came his time to
! speak his dissent not only did his
voice betray deep emotion, but his
gestures evidenced nothing less than
! excitement. Once, turning abruptly
so that he directly faced his col.
/ leagues to the left, he shook his fin
ham and asked in tones that rever-
berated in the chamber whether his
colleagues appreciated the full i'm
port of their decision.
No such demonstration has beer
seen in the supreme court in many
years, if ever. But the words and the
manner in which they were deliver
ed showed that in Justice Harlan!
opinion, long and ominous step haC
L. ! /,
states of the right to regulate cor
porations within their limits. AS in
dicating the import of this decision
it may be said that in the opinion o
some competent to speak, the die
tum of the court can be useC
to impair the effectiveness of seyera
Of the statutes of Texas, including
the railroad commission law.

SHOT AN AMERICAN
ID. W. STEVENS SERIOUSLY
WOUNDED IN FRISCO BY
A KOREAN
DEED OF hALCONTtNTS
Leader of Assassination Band Justi-
ffes Attempted Murder as
stroke in the Cause of
Freedom.

San Francisco, March 24.-With
the revolver of the would-be-assassin
concealed in a handkerchief, D. W
Stevens, formerly counsellor to the
japanese embassy at Washington,
but for several years diplomatic ad-
wiser to the Korean government at
Seoul, was shot and seriously
wounded yesterday morning as he
was about to leave for Washington
Three shots were fired at Mr.. Stew
ems from a 80 calibre revolver by l.
W. Chang, diminutive Korean. The
first bullet missed the diplomat. and
accidentally struck and perhaps ia
tally wounded W. w Chun. one of
the three or four Koreans who were
! lying in wait for Mr.. Stevens The
other two shots took effect in Mr..
Stevens back, one bullet striking
| him under the right shoulder blade
near the spinal column, and the
! second a few inches lower.
W ME Ihe WOUNDS are serious, II
| is stated that the chances for Mr.
! Stevens recovery are good. The mo-
! tive for the murderous attack ap-
parently arises out of the resent
ment of a small group of local Kor-
cans to the Japanese protectorate
over Korea, which sought to ayenge
| their country for the important part
played in the reorganization of their
| government by Mr.. Stevens.

WAITER FOUNDED BANK.
Obscure Frenchman Arrested il
Paris on Charge of Swindling.

Paris. March PA sensation
has been caused by the arrest here
of a man named Henry Rochatt on
the charge of conducting successful
swindles on an enormous scale. Ro-
chatt was at one time a waiter in an
obscure French town. He came to
Paris to seek his fortune, in which
he was eminently successful, so
long as he kept out of the clutches
of the law. He founded the Franco
Spanish bank and floated not less
than dozen mining enterprises in
which he was a director and whose
stocks were eagerly purchased by
French investors. 1t now develops
that his methods We're fraudulent, and
the complainants against him allege
that he has stolen over S12, 900, 600
through the medium of his various
companies and societies. 1t is charg-
ed that he manipulated the assets OF
his companies by means of false bal
ance sheets.

the hotel proprietors of France. Her
arrest at Nice reveals her, not as the
captivating, brilliant countess, but
as a thoroughly up-to-date burglar,
ing garments an array of burglar
implements of intricate workman
ship, which opened to her any hotel
room on the Riviera which she knew
to contain wealth or money and val
uables
The cautious agents of the depart
ment of French detectives searched
the history of the countess when
they noted that the robberies always
occurred while she was a guest of
the hotels where they were commit
ted. 1t was found that she had been
born of a respectable French family,
and that her maiden name was Am
ella Condemine. She married a man
named Portal and came to live in
Paris Afterward they separated and
Mrs. Portal went to the United
States. Two years later she returned
to France as the Countess of Mon
tell For several years she held
brilliant sway in society. She visited
the leading watering places on the
continents, but especially the winter
resorts on Southern France.
The detectives will seek to prove
moreover, that the masquerading
countess was in fact the active di-
rector of a band of hotel robbers
mostly men, some of whom have
been arrested and whose aggregate
loot is of great financial value.

BEST OF THE SEASON
That is Verdict Rendered in Favor
of the Lion and the Mouse

of the Lion and the Mouse
That great American drama,
THE Lion and the Mouse" was the
offering at the opera house Monday
night, and the universal verdict of
the large audience acclaimed it the
best attraction seen here this sea-
son. Without exaggeration it might
be termed the highest classed per-
formance given at the play house in
long time. 1t was entirely free
from that mediocrity so common to
most of the seasons successes"
which come from a long run" in
New York, Also it is play that did
not fall short of the laudatious
notices of the festive press agent.
There was not ''droll" in the entire
cast of characters. Herbert Macken-
zie as Hon. Fitzroy Bagley gave the
best Interpretation of an English
character, don'cher know, ever seen
here. He filled all the requirements
of that part. Miss Flora Juliet Bow
ley was a charming Shirley Ross
more and Miss Mabel Mortimer was
quite fascinating at Kate Roberts.
The role of John Burkett Ryder was
essayed by Oliver Doud Byron in a
most capable manner All the other
parts were in clever hands.
