GROWTH OF Y.M.C.A.
 IN fHf SOUTHWEST
The Territories, West Texas and Northern Mexico to Be Given Home Rule" Administration.

Two notable Y. NJ. C. A workers were visitors in Phoenix over Sunday. leaving last night for Tucson. One is C. K. Ober, field secretary of the h. ternational Committee in charge of the work in the United States and Canada, with headquarters in New York The retary for Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas, and northern Sonora, with headquarters in Fl Paso.
 Mir. Ober spoke here sunday after noon at the Y. M. c. A. meeting He is one of the most energetic men in the work and inspires all who meet him with enthusiasm His greatest in terest is recounting the achievements of the Y. NJ. C. A. as a whole rather than dwelling on the work in one spot In short interview yesterday he de- livered a rapid fire shower of statisti- cal news pellets that when they hit any kind of a mark are designed to impress the mark with the bigness and the importance of the Y. M. C. A. work. Mir. Ober's special mission here was to confer with the directors of the local association, and explain the work of a
 
 has just been formed.
 The money raised in Phoenix for a building fund, he said, is a part of a total of $375000 that has been contrib uted in the territory comprising the field of the territorial committee in the last three years. Some oI the funds raised are as follows: Fl Paso $I3O, ,OO0; Bisbee, s75.OOO: Douglas $4O,OOO: Las Vegas. s3O.OOO Mesilla Park, N. M, $1900O There are now about fifteen places where a similar work can be done in this same terri tory. Among them are Albuquerque, Prescott, Raton, Dawson, Tucson, Je- rome, Globe, Cananea, Nacosari, etc.
 To extend and develop the work in the territory indicated a territorial committee has been formed of twen- ty-one members, the headquarters of the committee being in Fl Paso, where there is a working quorum of five members Of the twenty-one members two are from Phoenix, namely B. A. Fowler and Lloyd Christy. Up to this time all the work done in this territor- ial district has been under the direc- ton of the International Committee but it is felt that New York is most too far away to properly handle this work so the International Committee has called to it's aid this resident com mittee. though its cooperation and the counsel of its travelling secretaries will still be given. The International com mittee has also given $500 of the s420C which makes up the budget" of the territorial committee for 1908. The re- mainder. s2400, is contributed by friends of the work in the local terri tory. about 5000 coming from Fl Paso

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY
 BILL PASSES HOUSE
But the Law If Enacted Will Come
 Only After Compromise.

Washington, April 6.-Wi1h only one vote recorded against it. that of Mir. Littlefield of Maine. the house of rep resentatives today. under suspension of the rules. passed the Sterling em- ployers' liability bill after forty min ute's debate In brief. the bill estab fishes the doctrine that railroad com panies engaged in interstate commerce are liable for personal injuries received by the employees in the service of such carriers. It abolishes the strict com mon law rule of liability which bars recovery for the personal injury or death of an emplOye caused by the negligence of a fellow servant. It also relaXes the common law rule which makes contributory negligence de- fense in claims for injuries. A provi sion. however, diminishes the amount of recovery in the same degree that the negligence of the injured one con- tributes to the injury. The bill fur ther makes each party responsible for his own negligence and requires each to bear the burden thereof.
 The bill as passed went to the senate later in the day and on the motion of Senator Deliver was laid on the table subject to being called up. at any time. MT Deliver explained that the bill was quite similar to the measure reported by the senate committee on education and labor. MT. Deliver con templates asking the senate to agree to take up the bill at an early day He will possibly move to substitute the senate measure for the house bill af- ter the senate acts and then leave to conferees the task of agreeing upon a compromise measure. The house bill is much more sweeping than the sen ate bill. as it applies only to com mon carriers" by railroads

New York, April 6.-The announce ment of the Fries financial plan which was made after the stock mar ket closed on Saturday was without effect today unless the torpid state of trading was influenced by the pecu- liarities of the announcement.
