Railway Changes.

For the past few days the South. ern Pacific has been distributing extra operators to the small stations along the line of the Tucson divi- sion, in accordance with the pro- visions of the law which requires that railroad operators shall not be on duty longer than nine hours.
 Two extra operators went out yesterday for Mescal. Mescal con- sists chiefly of whisling post and telegraph station, but under the provisions of the law an operator shall not be on duty longer than nine hours, consequently three shifts will be required in order to keep the office of Mescal open day and night. This ruling of the commission is being carried out in strict accordance with the law and as consequence extra operators have loaded down the trains during the past few days getting to their stations.
 It is reported that new schedule is also being arranged for the pas senger trains running between Tucson and Nogales. Under the present time table the Interna- tional reaches Nogales at 9:30 D.. m., which does not permit eight hours rest before the time of de- parture on the return trip the morning following. It is the in- tention to have the International leave Tucson earlier in the after noon and arrive at Nogales at S:30 D. m.-Citizen.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

MANY substantial citizens are urging MT. John Clarke to stand for the republican nomination for town marshal at the coming municipal election. John was in the Arizona Ranger service long time, and in that capacity he proved himself a very capable and efficient officer. He would give strength to the ticket, and his election would give Nogales one of the best officers any where.

You Can Before He Gets Al You"
Say Bureau Chief.

Washington. March 5.-"There is no
safe place in battle" declared Rea-
Admiral William :. Cowles. chief of
the bureau OF equipment. testifyins
before the senate committee on naval
anairs in the investigation Of criti.
c'sms OF American battleship con.
struction He was in command OF the
Missouri az the time OF the worst ex.
p'osion in the history OF the navy.
After recounting graphically the story
OF that accident. the admiral was
questioned as TO the cause. the les.
sons learned from the accident and
the precautions taken To prevent such
occurrences in the future.
You cant handle powder and han.
die il fast without having accidents. Sc
he said You have got 70 handle Il
fast. because You must reach your
sun first
"On the principle that man must
set his hand TO his pistol pocket he.
fore the other fellow" suggested
Senator Tiuman.
You have got 10 hit the other fel.
low quick and as many times as YOU
can before Do gets at YOU" said the
admiral
As an advocate OF the open turre,
and the direct hoiss. Admiral Cowles
was enthusiastic. He asserted that
they had decreased the time between
rounds OF FIRE from 800 seconds to
forty seconds
Describing the Missouri accident.
Admiral Cowles said that II the flags
on the doors OF the powder maya.
zines had been closed the shin would
have been in no danger whatever.
The present designs. he said. make Il
impossible for fire to get into the
magazines under any circumstances.
Chairman Hale referred to what he
called the mania for rapid firing
which has developed In the American
navy. and Admiral Cowles gave the
committee 70 understand that he an
proved that mania" in some degree
He thought however. that with the
shutters in the ammunition hoist the
men still could fire ufast enough. and
The navy department was right in
declining TO permit the officers TO have
them fastened back.
During battle the guns will not be
fired as rapidly as in target practice. -
said the admiral. but We want to b
ready" He said the open hoist was
less dangerous 10 the ship than the
two-stage hoist, though II was some
times bad for the men.
As regards the charge that the
armcr belt on the American battle
ships was TOO low Admiral CowIes
said that he concurred In the views
expressed by Admirals Converse and
Caps He declared that he would
feel safer in going into battle with
only eight inches OF armor above the
water line than with three feet. for
that would mean an insufficient
amount under the water covering the
ships vitals
Then Won do not think Il advisable
10 raise the belt above the water line
AT the expense OF the width OF the
belt beneath" asked Chairman Hale.
