USES AUTO TO

RURAL CARRIER SAVES LOTS
OF TIME
D. 3. HARVEY EXPLAINS HOW
EASY 1T is
Ranchers Get Letters and Papers
Earlier and Man at the Throttle
Escapes Dusty Ride
In Wagon

An American automobile sold In Los Ans
geles is making a new record In the way
OF service to the ranchman and farmer in
stage service between San Diego and Escon-
dido. The car is four cylinder $3.50 sold
to d. y. Harvey by the Southern Califor-
MIA Motor Car company. and is driven by
Mr.. Harvey in the capacity Of rural route
carrier In addition to the intercity passen-
ger and mail service.
The ranchers along the route get their
daily mall from a sixty-horse power auto
mobile under conditions that would make
anything like the same service impossible
in any other way. Mr.. Harvey has become
adept in the placing of mail In the boxes,
so that he can take of the route pa
irons on a forty-mile run and get to his
destination two hours before lunch time, in
cluding stops for the making up of mail at
Poway and Bernardo.
Occasionally a willing passenger on the
front seat is pressed into service to hold the
mail arranged 80 Harvey can deliver with
one hand and drive with the other.
The mail run takes the car off the regu-
lar automobile road for a good deal of the
distance, and calls for hard service at sew
eral points. In two or three places the
driver is compelled to slow down to make
sharp turn and lose power just when it
is especially needed to mako very steep
grade, thus calling on the car to get UP a
hard hill almost from a standstill.
This is severe test. and particularly so
with a heavy car carrying seven passengers.
lot of mall sacks and considerable addi-
tional freight and baggage. That Harvey's
car does this is the testimony OF an Escon-

THE ROPES
RIVALS IN STRENUOUS SCRAP AT
VENICE
Paeky Mcfarland Entertalns 800 Fans
at South Side Athletic Club Gym,
While 1000 Persons Attend
Seaside Workout

Great crowds of fans turned out yes
terday to attend the workouts Of
Packy Mcfarland and Phil Brock, who
began the final turn in their training
period. There were about 800 persons
at the South Side Athletic club to see
Packy work out, and fully 1000 per-
sons were at ringside at Venice when
Brock began to work. The fact that
a double-header was on the bill at
Venice drew an extraordinary crowd,
Freddie Welsh being the other attrac~
ton with Brock.
Welsh began training for his fight
August IA with Johnny Murphy, and as
he and Brock win use the same ring
for the next four days, he and the
Irish Jew boxed yesterday AFTERNOON:
Their bout was a crackerJack While IL
lasted, being a three-round affair, and
no little of the real animosity exist
ing between them, caused. by their
fight several weeks ago, cropped out
during the bout.
Welsh famed into Phil in the first
round and stung the Cleveland boy
a couple of times This made PM an
CRY and he began to rough 1t, endlns
by knocking Welsh out of the ring
They renewed the bout for the re-
manning two rounds, however, and 1t
was rough house with them all the
way, the large crowd enjoying the uT1-
usual spectacle to the utmost.
Brock did ten miles on the road IN
the morning, and in addition to going
three rounds with Welsh, did four fast
rounds with Kid Trennel, the st. Louis
boy who is to fight Bubbles Robinson
in one of the preliminary bouts frlday
night. He is in fine condition right
now, fit and ready to go into the ring
at a minutes notice, and when ne
steps into the ring Friday night he VIII
weighs about 1873 pounds, which Is four
mounds lighter than Packy's weight,
and probably the boys will enter the
ring at this difference.
Packy did an extraordinary amount
of work at his camp, boxing with sam
Coulter, Norman Stone, Al Vogt and
Charlie Anslinger. His bout with
stone was unusually exciting, as both
boys went at it hammer and tongs
and roughed 1t all the way. Paeky
easily outfought Stone, but he got
good workout In the operation and ex-
pressed himself as pleased to ind a
scrapper who would give him this
rough work. Previous to the afternoon
workout he did six miles on the road.
PscIxv is highly pleased with the re-
siIlts of his training and is in grand
condition now. After he returned from
his run on the road he weighed 1S7
pounds.
The boys will work until Thursday,
but each probably will cut out boxing
wednesday afternoon, as they are IN
such satisfactory condition now tnat
ahout ali thew will have to do from this
time onward is to keep on edge and
nut on the finishing touches by little
light work Thursday. AS they meet
All catchweights they are training sole

which Lou had scored about 105 points
and Schepps piled up somewhere be-
tween 4 and 6, Schepps dropped from
exhaustion and was hustled out of the

started to take shower bath. The
start was all right, but the idea of a
man procuring a stool and sitting un-
ded a cold shower bath for an hour
and reading a letter at the same time,
too It's a wonder he didn't order
coffee and cigars. No doubt he Won
dered what made the ink run on the

he blamed It on the hot weather 1t

receives his bill at the end of the
month, with one item reading SIS;

are that Isaacs will be obliged to make
two or three rows to Avalon If he
wishes to keen the record. Many other
boys are talking about entering the
race and the outlook for large field
of competitors for this novel event is
bright.
Did anyone ever see George Retzer

each mans name to whom he was try

DOUGL AS
 ATTACKS TRUSTS

The fundamental idea of democracy is equality of opportunity. Jefferson. who was the greatest advocate dsmoc- racy ever had, and who was the found- CT of the Democratic party, was the man who secured the abolition of the old laws of entail and prfmogeniture in Virginia He also secured the abolition of religious establishment ia that state, and caused the adoption of the, first ten amendments to the Con stitution of the United States. He hated special privileges, and fought always for equal rights.
 Among present statesmen, the one man who approaches nearest to Jeffer- son is William L. Douglas. late Gov ernor of Massachusetts. Jefferson was a member of the great middle class Of society; so is Governor Douglas. Fer years he has stood for cheaper raw materials for the manufacturing in dustries. for higher wages and for reduction in the cost of living for woTkingmen; and 10 that end has ad- yocated lower tariff duties as means of protecting the multitude against the exactions of trusts. generated and pro tected by laws passed by the Repub- lican leaders.
 Now, Governor Douglas is 8 manu- facturer of shoes, his factories being the largest of the kind in the United States-a Tact which has compelled him to investigate the yearly increas- ing cost of raw and partly manufac- tured materials and the cause of the increase in prices.
 In one of his speeches deliyared when he was running for governor he gave to the people the evidence he had discovered of the way the tariff protects the trusts thus:
 The most successful. powerful and injurious trusts are those that, having a tariff monopoly in our home market, have secured possession of the sources of production of raw materials and supplies, such as iron, steel, coal. oil, sugar beet. lumber. lead, leather, salt, borax. etc. By restricting the output and controlling the prices of these
Bisbee daily review., 1908-03-12

raw products, these trusts are able to hold both manufacturers and consum- CTS at their mercy.
 Careful estimates of the tariff prof it's Of one of these trusts, the United States Steel corporation indicate that they amounted to s162 ,000. 900 for the year 1902 and 1903-the total net profits being $242, GOO, 900. These es- inmates were based on the differences between the export and home prices of Isteel products and goods, the differ ences being multiplied by the quanti ty Of each kind of product sold, as given in the annual report of this company for the year ending Decem Der 1, 1903. This $162, ,0o0 900 is clear tariff profit. That is, had there been no duties on these steel products, and prices for which they were sold abroad, they would have cost our con sumers $162, ,000.0 less than they did As nearly all of these are unfinished products, 1t Is evident that American manufacturers, to whom steel is raw material. have to pay nearly ESQ., 009.000 a year more for these ma.
 rials than Is paid by their foreign =
 petitors, even though both buy steel ot our steel trust This. in itself. is a great handicap upon cur manufactur- CTS, especially when attempting to seii goods in foreign markets. It is tdis discrimination in favor of foreign manufacturers, making 1t much cheap CT to produce outside of than inside of our tariff wall, that is mainly respon-
 sible Tor the exodus of American capi- tai into foreign countries. Scores of branch mills and factories, operated by Americans, have during the past ten years, been located abroad in or
 der to escape from the protection that means dearer raw materials and high CT cost of production. Had there been no unnecessary duties on raw. mate rials, the great amount of business
 transacted in these American-owned foreign mills would now be done in this country, to the great advantage of our own workingmen. aEs lx hd

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
 EXECUTIONS

LONDON, March 1I.--A dispatch from St. Petersburg says three sol- diers, belonging to one of the cavalry regiments of the Russian guards, were recently secretly and summarily executed in the Petropavlosk fortress. Deep mystery surrounds the affair, which has caused the more specular ton in view of the wild rumors cur rent within the past few weeks Of conspIracies against the imperial household.
 The three men were suddenly placed under arrest, a somew1at vague charge of "furthering the rev olutionary propaganda" being brought against them. There was 10 trial, but two hours later there arrived a messenger from Czarskoe-Selo bear ing a triple death sentence. It is considered significant that the docz- ment should come, not from the war minister, as under ordinary circum- stances. but from the czar himself
 The doomed men were at once re- moved from the barracks to the fort reez. The officer in charge stated that the czar had granted them last favor-the privilege of being shot in stead of meeting death on the gallows- One of the men staEmered word of thanks. His companions remained si- lent, and in another moment the sen tences had been carried out.

WANT UNIFORMITY IN
 ISSUE OF CURRENCY
Movement on Foot to Have All Banks Issue Notes of
 Same Dimensions,

The Bankers Monthly, a periodical published at Chicago, which special izes on banking affairs, contains the information that steps are being talk en by some of the most influential bankers and business men of Mexico to bring about a uniformity in the bank issues in the southern republic and thus eliminate a number of in conveniences existing under the pres ent system. One of the reforms pro- posed is the establishment of a uni formity of basis for the issue of pap CT currency of the various banks of issue throughout the country, number ing about twenty, whereby the notes issued by all the banks of issue in quality of paper, color and, as far as possible, allegorical engravings and other distinctive features.
 It is also said that an arrangement may be made by which the redemp- tion of these bills will become the obll- gation of all banks, and at par, and that all the banks of issue of the re- public will be held approximately re- sponsIble for the issue of every bank having its own currency.
 This is a most important measure, and will favorably effect every section of the country. serving not only to facilitate commercial transactions, but to lessen the danger of counter feiting. avoiding discounts and giving uniform value to all paper money issued in Mexico.
 The proposed reform is of special interest to bankers and others in the southwest who have the handling of large amount of Mexican currency. ". s. Hodges, teller of the First Ma tional bank. this morning gave a prac- ticaI illustration of the subject. Ip one small pile of Mexican bills of the cinco pesos denomination he found
