TARIFF REVISION
JOB FOR RECESS
Chairman Payne Plans Work For
Investigators During the
Summer Season.
WORK WITH A FREE HAND
No Changes To Be Made Until After
The Election Next
Fall.

WASHINGTON, May 1-Representa-
tive Serene Payne of New York, chair
man of the committee on ways and
means, has introduced a resolution
authorizing that committee to sit dur
ing the recess of congress and to
gather such information, through gov
eminent agents or otherwise, as it may
see fit looking toward the preparation
of bill for the revision of the tariff.
Discussing the resolution, Payne
said that its purpose was to enlarge
the scope of the powers conferred up
on the ways and means committee by
somewhat similar resolution intro
duced by him last December. This
resolution" he said, will enable the
committee to carry forward with a
free hand the work already undertaken
in preparation of a revision of the
tariff next year. The committee now
is and for some time past has been
gathering preliminary information
from government officials The inten-
ton is to continue this preliminary
work during the remainder of the pres
ent session and in the coming recess,
and it should be distinctly understood
that no act of revisal of the tariff will
be undertaken until after the elections
of next fall

SHARP ROGUES
IN SAN FRANCISCO
They Telephone That Money Package
Waits At Postofice aud
Then Rob House.
WATCH KEPT ON RESIDENCES
When Only One Member of Family
Is At Home They Work
the Game.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE
eastern thieves, who are causing no
small amount of trouble for Chief Big
gy and his detectives, have introduced
a novel system of house breaking that
makes their work easy, and in addi-
ton, affords them almost absolute
safety from detection. The success OF
their plan depends on there being a
telephone in the dwelling selected Tor
looting. After familiarizing them
selves with the house the thieves wait
until one member of the family is at
home The telephone is then called
into play.
This is the postofflce," is the intro
duction to the message that comes over
the wire when the victim is summoned
to the telephone by the ringing of the
bell. "A letter addressed to your house
has been received but there is no name
written on the envelope. 1t looks as
if it contains currency and we don't
want to send it out unless we are GER
tain that it belongs to you"
Then follow many queries as to
whether such a letter had been eX-
pected and the conversation ends with
request that a call, be made at the
postoffice at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The unsuspecting receiver of the
message hurries to the postofiice, there
to learn that nothing is known con-
corning the letter.
Meantime the burglars, knowing
that the house is untenanted for the
time being, enter and ransack it at
their leisure.
In some instances the crooks vary
their system by summoning the house
holder to an express office instead of
the postoffice.

WHY A MACHINE
SHOULD Be TRIED

The manager of the Crystal Nov
ing Picture Co. states that it is never
safe to run off a reel of pictures be-
fore an audience on the supposition
that everything is all right; he wants
a rehearsal first and then he is ready
to take chances. His experience is
rather amusing in that connection.
Leaving Denver one day after the
towns along the route of the Rio
Grande railway had been extensively
billed he played Colorado Springs to
a big house and the audience be-
came very enthusiastic over one of
the pictures. He saw there was a
chance to do bigger business at the
next stop, which was Pueblo If this
particular film was featured and he
wired his representative to get out
bills announcing the picture. 1t was
to be the first after an intermission.
The result was a capacity house and
everything went well for a time until
there was clamor from the sport
ing contingent for the fight film. When
it was too late for a change the man
at the wheel found he was to show a
home scene in which a couple of low
ers figured instead of a couple of
scrappers. Ever since the crowd broke
his picture machine on that occasion
he has insisted upon a rehearsal.
There is to be one on Monday and
then the public will have a chance.
Tickets for the entertainment are on
sale at Wall, Nichols Co.

THE STRENGTH OF STRONG FAM

Sundry divorce suits and remarrlage

papers just now illustrate that II

a man leaves behind him than in what
hands he leaves it. 10 leave abound

To, leave wise children in the world Is
success, and if they can be left In a
position of fiscal advantage, so much
the better. TO found a good family
or give good human stock a lift, and
put it in a position OF enlarged oppOr-
tunity and increased power, Is a WORK
that is legitlmately attractive But II
is the human stun that Is important.

Whether at a given time they are rich
or not is a matter of secondary inn

strong and good, money in sufficient
quantity will come to it first or last.

HISTORIC POLE
USED BY FLEET
Flags of Ships Flung to the Breeze
Where First One Waved
In California.
TEARS FILL PAL MOTTO EYES.
Admiral Thomas Issues Orders For
the Flag-Raising
Ceremony.
RS FILL PATRIOTIC EYES.

MONTERREY, May t.-On a low
flagpole in the exact spot where the
stars and stripes of the nations en-
blem of liberty were unfurled tor the
first time to flap in the breeze of Cali
fornia, 16 silken flags have waved to-
day, one after another in silent tribute
to the memory of a day fraught with
tremendous meaning. When old glory
for the first time offered its beauty to
the kiss of California sun it was from
the Flagstaff of the old Monterey Gus
tom house whose adobe walls still
stand in the dignity of historic gran
deur Indifferent to age.
Commodore Sloat raised that nag IN
1876. and as it reached its peak it told
all the world that California was
claimed as territory OF the United
States.
The flags that have blown today
from the pole of this same custom
house bespeak a contrast whose very
thought has brought tears to the eyes
and a clutch to the Threats of thou
sands of Americans whose hearts know
the full meaning of patriotism. Ihey
were the flags of the IL battleships OF
the great Atlantic meet, come to this
old town to leave, as they have already
left in the southern ports, the silent
message of loving protection.
NOW VAST NAVAL POWER.
Today this city where that lonely
flag flew 81 years ago is defended by
naval power so vast that no other fleet
of ships in the world would dare to
offer insult. There they lie IN the
curve of the bay-four aDreast-tne
smiling monsters of steel, and on their
decks and on the shore the people OF
all the country round are gathered TO
give them glad welcome, to feast in the
joy of their presence and to join in
the merry making that their coming
has caused.
1t was at the command of Rear Ad-
miral Thomas that the beautiful cere-
mony of the flags was carried out. In
the lull following the formalities Of
ship commander to detail the chief
quartermaster and a midshipman from
his vessel to proceed ashore and raise
and lower flag over the custom house.
HOIST PRECIOUS EMBLEM.
While launches were quickly skim
ming toward the shore, one pair after
another, the two men from each ship
stepped from their launches, climbed
to the base of the flagpole, hoisted
their precious burden, saluted and a
minute later hauled it down.
In the streets below the sightseers
stopped their hurried passage and,
with the example of the men of the
army and navy before them, stood with
barred heads, paying respectful homage
to the fluttering symbols.
1t has been a day such as old Mon
terey, even in the glory of the time
when it was the capital of California,
never knew. Gay with decorations and
with its streets swarming with human
ity, the city has given welcome royal
to the fleet
Pacific Grove, too, and the other
nearby towns have joined III the cele-
bration and are striving to add one
more note TO the song of welcome that
has swelled in volume northward since
the day the ships were sighted by the
watchers at San Diego.

RAILWAY CASE AGAIN
IN SUPREME COURT
For Second Time Right-of.Way Fight
Of Rival Lines Reaches Highest
Territorial Tribunal.

The Arizona and Colorado Railway
company and the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway company are engag
led in fierce legal battle over right
of-way in San Juan county and the
case now has reached the supreme
court. The case has just been docket
led by Clerk of the Supreme Court
Jose D. Sena.
This litigation has been tried twice
lin dirstict courts and was before the
New Mexico supreme court once when
the decision of Judge John R. McFie,
|of the district court, was reversed and
1.-THE case sent back for retrial. The
Arizona and Colorado Railway COM
pany lost the case before Judge Nc.
Fie. The next trial came up before
Judge Ira A. Abbott, of Albuquerque
and the Arizona and Colorado railway
won. From this decision the Denver
and Rio Grande company appeals.
The transcript Of the case is very
voluminous, containing about twenty
| five hundred pages. It is said to be
one OF the longest transcripts ever
filed in the New Mexico supreme
court.
