Washington, May 2. - The time of
the senate was taken up for two hours
yesterday with a speech by Senator
Jeff Davis of Arkansas asking that the
committee on the judiciatry be dis
charged from further consideration of
his bill for the suppression of trusts.
The remainder of the day was given
over to the consideration of a resolu-
ton by Senator ElIins suspending UNI
til Jan. /, 1910, the commodity clause
of the Hepburn railroad rate law.
The resolution provoked so much de-
bates and so many amendments
were offered dealing with other
phases of railroad legislation that the
whole matter went over until Monday.
The commodity clause, under the
provisions of the Hepburn bill, went
into effect yesterday and railroads
therefore which haul interstate COM
merce products of mines or manufac-
tories in which the carriers are inter
ested are liable to maximum fines Of
5000 for each offense.
The Elkins resolution proposes to
give the railroads 20 months additional
in which to divorce themselves from
those properties, on the ground that
the financial condition Of the country
has been such that the railroads have
been unable to find buyers and to set
tie such questions of joint ownership
as are involved in mortgages covering
both the railroad property and mining
or manufacturing property.
The house spent all of yesterdays
session in considering and passing,
paragraph by paragraph, Under suspen-
sion of the rules, the sundry civil ap.
preparation bill.

MOrenci Wins at Last.

In the face of the fact that fi4t Morenci Leader last week stated thdi its scrub basket b5 Il team would have no chance to win against Clifton Sat urday night, the Moreaci five were victorious by a score of 35-33. With all due respect to the crack team the ERA is of the opinion that the scrub team is all right, as they were up against q stiff propos ition and put up the Raue of their life. The playing was about even on both dsies and the boys moved about with light hing skin. It was neck and neck throughout the entire game and the audience watched the play with in- terest, cheering players on both sides when they made good plays. Mo- renci won out just a second before the whistle blew, or it would have been another tie.
 The Clifton five, while they did not like the idea of losing the game. played their best, and like true sports complimented the visitors upon their success.

SHELDON ARRESTED.
After A Chase of Almost Two Years Sheriff Anderson Caught Him
 in DOn9laS.

On last Thursday night Sheriff A
 A. Anderson arrested F. J. Sheldon
 in Douglas for whom a warrant has
 been in the hands of Graham county
 officers ever since he left Clifton in October, 1907. Sheldon is charged
 with emL excitement of funds while
 acting as chief book-keeper at the store department of the Shannon Copper company. In making the ar rest Sheriff Anderson was assisted by Bob Hilburn and MT. Russell, both officers of Cochise county, and it is reported that Sheldon submitted
 without resistance.
 It will be remembered that MT.
 Anderson and Deputy John D. Patty
 made several trips to Mexico and other points in their efforts to capture Sheldon, but each time they met with appointment, but they did not give up until they found their man. Deputy Sheriff Patty made q trip to the City of Mexico last year to get Sheldon, who had been arrested and was being held by Mexican officers, but Sheldon convinced them that he was innocent and was turned loose before MT. Patty arrived there.
 About a month ago MT. Patty was informed that Sheldon was working in Fl Paso and quietly made a trip to the Texas city, and when he located the place where Sheldon was work ing, he was informed that he had left the evening before. MT. Patty traced him to Juarez and followed him again, but lost him until about two weeks ago Sheriff Anderson was informed that he had been seen in Nacozari. He at once went to Naco- z ri and after arriving there learned that Sheldon had just left on the train the day before, headed for Douglas, and before leaving made in- quiries about the Fl Tigre mine. MT. Anderson then returned to Doug las, arriving there last Thursday evening. He learned that Mrs. Sheldon was residing in Douglas, and with the assistance of the Douglas officers located the residence, where they found Sheldon that night.
 The prisoner was taken to Solo Friday last and is now con- ined in the jail, awaiting his trial, which will come up at the next term ,f court. He was indicted by the grand jury oD a charge of embezzle- nent in October of last year. His pond has been placed at S2,000.
