CHINESE SHIPPED OVER LINE
Were Found Hall Starved in Freiqht
Car at Frisco.

San Francisco, June 6.-When a
sealed box car which apparently came
intact from Galveston, was opened
in the Southern Pacific yards yester-
day, sixteen half-starved Chinese
were found, in addition to half a
load of heavy steel. The car was 10
days on the road and had been in
the yards for 48 hours. The Chinese
had little water and few crack
ers left, but were weak and hollow
eyed. One of them showed a certifi
cate emitting him to admission to
this country, but the others were
turned over to immigration officials.
1t is supposed by the officials that
the men were smuggled across the
Mexican boundary and placed in the
car at Ell Paso, seals on the car be-
ing replaced with others.

head-on collision between two special
cars on the Washington. Baltimore
and Annapolis electric railroad
shortly before O'Clock last night
eight persons were killed outright
and a score of others were seriously
injured, some of them perhaps ia
tally. The collision was due to a con-
fusion of orders, as the line had
been running several extra cars each
way in connection with the COM
mencement festivities at the naval
academy.
The disaster occurred just beyond
Camp Parole, which is the first sta
ton after leaving this city Both of
the wrecked cars were specials, one
of them bound from Baltimore to
Annapolis, the other running from
here and bound for Baltimore
The latter carried few passen-
gers, while the other was well filled.
The impact was terrific and both
cars were wrecked, that bound for
', this city being thrown from the
rails. AS quickly as possible aid was
sent from here and the dead and in

ger William E. Slaughter of thu

 Winslow Mail Chas. Cooley re- ports foot of snow as having fallen at Cooleys during Saturday and Sunday last A general pre- cipitation of moisture has occurred during the past few days over Ari zona and New Mexico. It fell in form of rain over the low attitudes, while on the higher portions of the country snow is reported from six to twelve inches in depth.
 Bisbee Review: For the first time, last evening, what was for merly a portion of the great Amer ican desert, but is now the main street of the thriving town of War ren. was lighted by electricity and presented an attractive appearance. The Warren Company made ar engagements with the Superior < Pittsburg Company to furnish cleo tric power for the new town tenn porarily, and during the past couple of weeks electricians have been busy making the connections.
 Benson Press: Tucson and Bisbee are making strenuous efforts to have trains make connections between the E. r. (S $. ". which terminates at Benson, and the west bound train on the $. F., because at pre- sent passengers from the E. P. x S w., arriving at 10:30 a. m. must stay in Benson until 4:30S p. m. Their appeals have elicited careful consideration by both companies, but the replies are definite that much greater inconvenience would result from any change that would make the desired connection.
 Yuma Sun: A representative of the Sun yesterday called on L. c. Hill, supervising engineer of the reclamation service for the Arizona and Southern California projects, and in the course of an interview received most satisfactory assur- ances with regard to the work on the Yuma project. Of the dam Mr. Hill says 3200 feet measuring Iengthwise Is now completed This amounts to little over three-ffths. Immediately after the high water of the coming summer preparations will be begun for closing the gap between the two ends, and 1t is ex- pected that before the May rise Of 1909 the dam will be completed. As soon as the coffer dam is thrown across the gap, and this will re- quire but short time after the river falls, irrigation can be com menced on the California side and on the Arizona side above the Gila.

 examination. f. M Smith, cashier Of the Copper Queen store, today declined Co cash check for fifty dollars drawn on the bank of Doug las, ostensibly by John Slaughter. The arrest of the man who pre- sented the check was caused He gave his name as w. w. Burns and has been in this section but short time The check was very crudely done-written with a pencil and the signature was John Slauter." Complaint against Burns, alleging forgery was sworn to by Dr. w. A. Greene. Burns declared to officers after his arrest that he came by the check legitimately and denies that he uttered the forgery. He says he received the paper from a man outside of town in consideration of a horse which he sold. Burns was committed to the holdover of the county jail and will be tried to- morrow.
 Douglas Dispatch: Mike ard Elias Simon, two Assyrian broth CTS who own grocery stores in Douglas and PirtleviIle, have just returned with their families and gotten as far as Agua Prieta, but find the doors of the immigration department closed tight against them, owing to contagious disease of the eye. The two men left Douglas about two months ago for Europe to bring their families to this country to enjoy the prosperity they had found. They met their respective families in Paris, France, and sailed for Vera Cruz, Mexico. Landing in Vera Cruz, they pro- ceeded straight to Juarez, where they hoped to cross the line with out any difficulty. Upon exami- nation by the government immi- grafton agents there it was found that all but Simon were afflicted with 'trachoma," the dread disease of the eye which Is alone enough to bar them from entrance. Unable to cross at Juarez, they travelled overland to Agua Prieta, and here again they were subjected to a medical examination and again were debarred from entrance. It Is said to be extremely doubtful If they come to Douglas to live at all.
