PRESIDENT JAMES
 TALKS ON HAzING

Urian, H., December 7.-(speeial)- President James of the University of Illinois has issued the following address to the students of the university on the subject of hazing:
 There should be no misunderstanding on the part of the student body or the general public as to the attitude of the authorities of the University of Illinois on the subject of hazing.
 Il is a rule of the board of trustees that stuaents found guilty of hazing shall be dismissed from the university. Since this rule went into effect all students who have been clearly proven guilty of haz- ing have been dismissed.
 Hazing is d violation of good manners and of the right of individual liberty. It is proyocation of public disorder. Pub lie opinion throughout the state has very properly set it's seal of condemnation upon it. On all accounts it must be put under the ban of the university
 In it's mllder forms it is a nonsensical and almost diotic form of amusement. unworthy of the support or favor of any sensible university student. It was looked upon as a comparatively slight offense perhaps 20 years ago in small institu- tions. It is today altogether unworthy of the traditions and reputation of a na- tional institution such as this has be- come.
 In it's coarser forms, hazing is a vulgar, brutal, always demoralizing and some times dangerous form of sport which the university cannot countenance or tol- crate. It naturally leads to reprisals and may thus become a source of serious dis order within and without the university. In it's worst forms, which fortuna tely, have not prevailed here, it may, not in- aptly be compared with night-riding white capping and other similar forms of outrageous interference with private and public rights.
 Surely these are reasons enough not only to forbid it's existence at the univer- sity, but to use every legitimate means to stamp 1t out
 All loyal and law abiding students are especially requested to cooperate with the authorities in putting an absolute end to this custom which, in addition to the evil it does within the university, brings dshonor upon the fair name of our alma mater throughout the state and country and naturally begets a prejudice against us which influences unfavorably the pros-' perity of the institution.

TAX RETURNS OF
 THE RAILROADS

Atlanta. December 7.-(Special. )-The returns of the railroads and other public utility corporations of Georgia have just been finally completed as the result of the reports upon the last of the arbitra- tions growing out of assessments by the comptroller general.
 The compilation of these returns shows that the steam railroads, trolley lines and other public service companies will pay taxes to the state this year upon physi- cal property and franchises aggrega ting a total of $624s16.14, or about one-eighth of the total income of the state.
 Of this sum the steam railroads pay s4S7, ,91Sa B. the street railways $6361S3l, telephone companies $24,637. 27 and the others the balance of about $5O,0O0.
 The list of railroads is headed by the Central of Georgia which pays the largest annual taxes of any corporation or indi- vidual in the state, aggregating $99, 369 50 on all it's properties and franchises in Georgia. Next comes the Southern rail- way, which pays $SS,50O, then the Allan tic Coast Line S7s, GA. 72, the Seaboard Air Line s,757, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic $2S, ,39420 and the Atlanta and West Point S15,S1S.56.
 While the valuations of railroad prop erty show a falling off of $4,000,00o as compared with last year, this decrease has been very nearly made up by increased returns for smaller roads, and Dy re- turns upon new railroad property, as in the case of the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic, whose returns us the result of new property were increased this year by S,2500Oo. Thus the net s crease as compared with last year will not be much in excess of $6Oo O00.
 The Georgia Railway and Electric con- pany of Atlanta leads the list of electric railways and will pay the state this year taxes aggregating s40.S67. 50. Other inn

$7OOO RAISED FOR
 BATTLESHIP FUND

Jackson, Miss, December 7.-eSpecial.) J. The battleship silver service fund commits ion met yesterday at the office of the governor, with Governor Noel, Dr. Dun bar Rowland and Mrs. Eunice Lockwood present. The whole matter was gone over thoroughly and it was found that the total sum subscribed to date and paid by the subscribers is $7050.54 This has not all been turned in to the commission, but it is where it can be had when de- mand is made for it.
 The commission wants and must have a little more money and is confident the people of the state have the patriotism in their souls to put it up in spite of the action of the legislature in turning down the proposition to buy a $1o,00O silver service for the great battleship that has been named for their state, and have in vited bids from manufacturers and deal CTS in such goods.

 Mesa Press: Mesa residents are troubled with an over-supply of filthy lucre just now. Tuesday Mrs. George Scott found a sum of money near Mesa, and cannot find anyone who will claim it. While it Is not understood that she is worried over the matter, yet she has no use for 1t. and wants to re- store it. A. c. Holt, living south of Mesa, reported yesterday that one of his little boys had picked up quite sum of money in the road near his home, and that no- one could be found who would claim the money. These people are honest, and they are desirous of returning the money to its right ful owners, but so far they have had no applicants who would even claim that they had lost any money for some time.

OOQliti1 nOlO CuliCl HE hlth cold weather, southern Arizona was enjoying most delightfully."- bright and sunny weather. This is great climate. It has been cold in the valley, but not often has the mercury gone down to 25 above zero.
 Mesa Press: George Griswold, head carpenter at the Roosevelt dam, was yesterday swept over the dam and drowned in whirlpool below, and up to last reports the body had not been recovered. The victim of the accident was engaged in floating a raft of lumber down the stream, the river being higher than usual since the recent rains.
 Tucson Post: Officers are now investigating the record of E. w. Hawkins, who, with his wife, is held on a charge of having broken into and robbed the millinery store of Mrs. Kate Flemming. It is re- ported that he served term in San Quentin for burglary con- mitted in San Francisco. It is said that Hawkins parents are wealthy and that they now live in Chicago.
 Gazette: A successful jail de- livery was perpetrated at Lowell, Saturday night, when five prison CTS made their escape. The men gained their freedom at about ten o'clock, by cutting the bolts from the hinges of the heavy iron door. Four men, two Americans and two Mexicans, who were also in the jail at the time of the delivery. re- mained in prison. These men are short termers, and would have gained little by escaping.
 Republicans: The combination formed unlawfully by the saloon keepers of Phoenix in restraint of the satisfaction of thirst, is begin ming to go to pieces. Three of the saloons which had entered into the unholy agreement to advance the price of beer to ten cents have broken away, and are selling it at the old familiar figure of five cents. They claim that five cents was the limit of the trade within their sev- eral jurisdictions. These saloons are on the outskirts; that is where everything that goes to pieces be- gins to disintegrate.
 Gazette: Unless he wants half of his large fortune to go by de- fault to the woman who claims to be his first wife, Felix Mahew, whom the law has declared to have been twice welded, must come back to Arizona and fight for his worldly possessions. United States Attorney Alexander, who is coun- sel for the first wife of the Yuma mining man, received a telegram from Los Angeles last night that the courts have granted his peti- tion for an injunction restraining Mahew from disposing of any of his mining property or enjoying any of the emoluments.
 Republican: Pleased that he gets the bounty of twenty dollars, but pleased much more that he has rid the Cave creek section of mountain lion that has caused much loss to the stockmen on &C., count of calves killed "IinD Rnr.

 Even iu inc matter "f age Broadway has no mean rcrDd. In tnc carly daNs of ihc city it was the natural highway from thc lower to the upper part ot the Island since the ground on both sides. now occupied by skyscrnpers. was then only marshland Down to l6i2 the thoroughfnrc bore succes sion of appcllations First it was call cd simply the "main road. v Later it became the Public Road, tdc llOog the llccron Straat, or Street of the Masters. From about l6iO on. how ever, it became generally known as Broadway, although its identity was established much earlier Perhaps in a way these early names correspond to the newer titles given this much nicknamcd thoroughfarc. On Broad way it was that tnc first clergyman preached regularly in little wooden church near what is now Pearl street. lt was near what is now Pine street that Col dc Puystcr in 1895 built what was described as a "palatial three. story dwelling mansion" Forty four years later in. lT39, public market house was erected in the middle of Broadway opposite Liberty street IL was gigantic structure forty.two feet long and twenty five feet wide, but for some reason it was never popular.
 Of no other spot in the world are SO many men able to sny "If I'd only bought that property thirty years ago for n song. l'd be millionaire. v The story of Broadway is one of unnum. bered fortunes made by those who did invest. and aS the city moves nor,hward it still applies. Back in 1892 lots on Broadway were sold as far as Fulton street for about s20 each. Today those same lots are worth n hundred thousand times the original cost. Purchasers were required to erect buildings not less than two stories in height and in some eases 10 cover the entire front of the lot. To. day an owner of Broadway property wno did no; do more than this valun tarily would be considered insane, so great are rental values.
