LOS ANGELES, April Ice contracts
with Dan Murphy as excuse for re-
bates on oil shipments were alleged
in extenuation by Edward Chambers.
assistant freight traffic manager of
the Santa Fe, today when forced by
Assistant Attorney General BENJAMIN
to admit that many refunds had been
made to Murphy while others paid full
rates. Records lost in the San Fran
cisco fire were also cited to prove the
| company guiltless of any wrongdoing
since 1906.
J Chambers explained an alleged special
! rate to the Globe grain and milling
company from San Francisco to Fresno
by saying that as the Globe company
was the only company doing business
/ in the San Joaquin valley their COM
plant against an alleged high rate
was considered just and a lower rate
! than that published was given them
] temporarily while their complaint was
! being considered.
MORE RECORDS BURNED
! When asked if the inside rate was
! not enjoyed until July. 1907, Chambers
said he did not think it was, but said
! that the tariff sheet might have been
] destroyed in the San Francisco fire
and the publishing of the new schedule
! thus might have been overlooked.
! Chambers stated that the standard
tariffs of the Santa Fe were filed with

PHoENIx. ARIZONA OCT. 25, 1908.
A DEMOCRATIC DIVERSION.

The Mark Smith papers are con-
 suming a great deal of space with affidayits to prove that there was a great Mark Smith meeting at Tue son the other night and at the same time to refute a statement alleged to have been made by John B. Wright to a Phoenix newspaper the other day that the meeting was an inconsequenual affair. It is under stood that what Mir. Wright had to say about the meeting and the pre- ceding parade was said joculArly and without any expectation that it would be printed. He therefore had no pur- pose to deceive.
 After all the size of the Tucson meeting is not an issue of the cam paign- It in no way affects the fit ness of either AIr Smith or MT. Cam eron to represent Arizona in con gress just now and at this this time when the price of white paper is so high it looks like a sinful waste of it to occupy it with a score of affi- dayits relative to the bigness of that assemblage.
 The fact is the Mark Smith papers are hammering away at the alleged interview to divert public attention from several other things that MT. Wright said. not jocularly to a news paper reporter. but seriously to an audience that filled the Elks' theater last Thursday night.
 For instance. lIr. Wright said that Pima county was against Mark Smith because he tried to hold it up for a large percentage of the amount of the Pima railroad bonds, for certain work which he ought to have done but never attempted as a delegate in congress. It would be much more important to Mir. Smith to prove that Mir. Wright was in error in this mat ter than in any alleged estimate as to the size of the Tucson meeting. But unfortunately the Mark Smith papers are unable to obtain affi- davits to controvert certain records of the board of supervisors relative to Mir. Smiths percentage proposition.
 Than to prove that there was great crowd at the Tucson meeting it would be much better for MT. Smith if MT. Wright's long and well established record of the general and particular uselessness of MT. Smith for twenty years in congress could be disproved. But to that there can be no answering affidavits.
 In no essential point can the ad- dress of 1Ir. Wright be attacked but something must be attacked and so this trifling thing has been seized upon and is being pummelled with a ferocity which makes onlookers shud- der

The Suppression of Cops,,mption

There is good reason to believe
that any infectious disease can be
suppressed. We no longer greatly
fear yellow fever. 1t has yielded to
methods of suppression even in its
strongholds. Smallpox, the first of
all infectious diseases that was treat
ed scientifically, still makes itself
felt as a scourge; but it is due only
to the ignorance and prejudice of
those who will not avail themselves
of the very simply and long estab-
lished e of preventing the mall
ady. The n plague that holds it's
place obstinately, that refuses to
surrender to any sort of treatment, is
consumption. Yet it is an infectious
disease and communicated only by
germs; and it has no power to con-
yey itself through the air, but only
or at least almost Altogether, by
can of food and water. It makes
It's way to the lungs, or whatever
part of the body it attacks, almost ex-
clusively by the way of the stomach.
The knowledge of this fact has in
spired the hope that 1.-THE white
plague" might be made easily to
yield to the treatment that has
proved itself effective in some sim
liar diseases-namely, by isolating
the misunderstanding Christian Ad-
vocate.
