JUOSON'S FINANCE
PLAN COMMENDED
Business Men Approve of
Scheme to Carryen
Improvements.

Believing that the resources of the
District of Columbia are ample to
provide the revenues necessary for the
Judson plan of liquidation of debts by
lnstallments, while at the same time
carrying out the plans now proposed
for permanent improvements. many
business men of Washington today
expressed themselves as favoring the
passage OF the bill proposed to Con-
gress for carrying the Judson scheme
into effect.
According TO Major sJudson and
Auditor TweedaIe, IL is the only feast
bic plan for handling the District
finances IN a business-Iike manner.
Major JIdson proposed a plan TO the
Commissioners and they have written
in Congress, whereby the District Is
10 apply each year 1857, ,704 from its
proper contributions to its Government
for the payment of debt, principal and
interest.
VIII Wipe Out.
This will, IN the course of about twen-
ty-five years, he believes, wipe out the
floating and bonded Indebtedness of the
District, and at the same time allow
ing sufficient funds for the great prof.
ects planned for the betterment Of the
District.
This annual instalIment includes S4s7, -
7O4, which is the Districts half OF an
nual payments sufficient to pay the
bonded debt. ani the further sum of
$4,000. which Is the interest annually
due on the 100000 owing the Federal
Government.
Is to Be Applied
After the Districts half of the debt
has been paid, the annual payment Of
$j6I,7O4 can be applied to the payment
OF the 100000 due the Federal Gov
eminent under Major Judson's plan.
The JudsOn plan is a plea 10 Congress
to extend the payment Of the debt OF
the District The present bonded debt
is due 10 be paid in fifteen years while
II seems 10 be the plan Of Congress TO
pay the floating debt in the next FIVE
years, according TO Major Judson. This
time must be extended and the District

Baked Each TIME.

Thus far it has been baked at
every point The withdrawal of
the pending csse and the admis-
sion that the imitation clause of
1895 is forever dead, is great
victory for the public interest in
this cause.
More than two years ago, the
Georgetown Gas Company appear
ed In the Supreme Court of tie
District and asked that a yaIua-
ton Of its property be made. with
view to determining to what limit
1t might issue new capitalization.
AT that time the company had
Sl0O,O00 capital, and it petitioned
for permission to issge up to
100000.
The act of 1896 provided that
gas companies should not increase
their capital. except after receipt
of permission from the Supreme
Court Of the District. The Supreme
Court, in determining the limita-
ton, should make a valuation Of
the property, and should authorize
no issues in excess of the actual
value Of the property.
WOULD BE SWOLLEN
When the Georgetown company
started this action it was soon
made apparent that, unless there
was interference, the capitalization
q both gas companies would be
Immensely swollen, thereby impos-
ing on the public the necessity of
paying high enough rates to earn
returns on the increased volume
Of securities.
The Washington Times, the Commits
sioners Of the District, the citizens as
sociations, and other agencies Of public
opinion entered vigorous protest. and
Corporation Counsel Thomas took IN
the fight in the courts. He attacked the
constitutionaIity of the law under which
the gas companies were proceeding. and
the Court OF Appeals held with him The
gas companies at once took ap>saI to
the Supreme Court OF the United states.
DIVIDED COURT.
The case had been decided By a di-
vided Court Of Appeals. and it was
frankly regarded as a close question.
Efforts were set afoot 10 secure the
repeal Of the Objectionable act. and afte-
long and hard fight. this was secured.
at the close of the last regular session
Of Congress.
But the gas lawyers insisted that, as
they had instituted their proceedings
before the law was repealed. rights had
vested. and they proposed to insist on
a decision OF this point by the Supreme
Court. Accordingly. the case has been
pending in this form ever since.
The present development simply indi-
Gates that the gas lawyers have dc-
cided that they can maintain no rights
under the repealed law. by reason of
the commencement OF their proceed
ings before it's appeal
DANGER AT END.
They have. therefore, thrown up their
hands and notified the Districts legal
authorities to that effect.
For the time being. all danger of
the imitation is at an end. It is very
well understood. however. that the Css
monopoly insiders have by no means
given up their purpose to carve the
So 000O,000 melon on which they have
long had their interest centered.
In dismissing this proceeding. they.
are simply clearing the boards for
another move. which viii take form
soon after Congress meets.
The public has not been taken into
their confidence as to their plans; but
without doubt. legislation will be IN
troduced by friends OF the gas coni-
panies. authorizing in some new way
an increase Of their capital stock.

ARIZONA WILL SCORE
 AT CAMP PERRY MEET
Careful Predictions Point to Honors
 Won for the N. c. A.

It is the generally accepted opinion that the team sent out by the N. G A. to the national rifle shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio. will return victors in their class. That means that they will bring back a silver cup and have look in at the money. Col J. H. McClintock thinks they will do even better. He says they will steal on ward and upward, get out of Class C, where they don't really belong, and show the city boys from the east that they can shoot, even if they do come from Arizona.
 And that is one of the queer things about target shooting" said the colonel yesterday. one seems to think just because you hail from Arizona you can shoot the fleas off a jackrabbit Perhaps you can, but you might miss a target at d thousand yards. A deer is seldom shot at a range of over two hundred yards tr two city blocks, but the target range runs from two hundred yards to one thousand. To shoot at a target when you are ten city blocks away from it and hit 1t is vastly different from pOtting a deer as it comes around the corner We don't have a chance to practice long range target shooting here as much as they do in the east. Then they have another advantage. The total strength of the N. c. A is 630 men, and from this number the team must be picked. New York, which stands high in the shoots. has 14.000 men to pick from and the other eastern states in proportion. Last year Arizona stood thirty-fifth at Camp Perry, where there were fifty competitors. There were four teen states below her. This year she will move up. I base this prediction in a comparison of scores made at the Huachuca meet and her scores last year at, Camp Perry. The aver age individual score made at Camp Perry by the Arizona delegation a year ago was 215, and the average at Fort Huachuca was 232. If that means anything it means that the boys are going to jostle a few of the other states down below Arizona in the final score table"
 During the meet at Huachuca there was meeting of the Territorial Rifle association. which has not been re ferred to before. P. G. Apgar is presi- den of the association. It was de- cided at this meeting that steps should be able to promote at the national shoots some sort of a con- test, preferably under novel condi- tiOns. for an Arizona cup. While the details have not been arranged it was suggested that the cup be made of pure copper suitably en- graved. The Arizona association as now formed consists of the Eighth cavalry, stationed at Fort Huachuca; the Bisbee Rifle club and the First infantry of Arizona, with several companies of the regiment as sup plemental members. The Tucson Rifle club, new organization, was voted into the association.

EMIL HAUSER FARMER
 ACCUSED OF WIFE BEATING
He Will Have a Hearing Before Judge
 Parker Today.

Emil Hauser. a farmer living near town, was arraigned before Justice
 Parker yesterday charged with a felony. aggravated assault, in the beating of his wife. His hearing was set for this morning and his bond fixed at $500. The complaint was not made by Mrs. Hauser. but by one of the neighbors, and the wife is trying to excuse his Offense She has of fered several theories which do not stand well to gether. She told the officers at first that she and her hus- band were only playing; at another time she said that he had acted un- der great provocation and yesterday she said that while her husband had bad temper. hers was the worse. She added that there was more fighting among the neighbors than in the Hauser household.
 It is not believed that she is trying to shield Hauser on account of her affection for him, but because she is fearful of the consequences when he regains his freedom. She is said to have told a neighbor that her husband had threatened that if she ever got him into jail there would be a bloody settlement on his release.
 These seances at the Hauser house. hold occur only when Hauser has been drinking. At first the outcome of the battles were uncertain. Mrs. who is no weakling, some times carried off first money. When Hauser is intoxicated his violence is directed against his chil- dren as well as his wife.
 What the result of the trial will be is uncertain. It is sure, though, that the territory will not receive any willing aid from the injured party.
 The warrant for the arrest of Haul ser was issued on Monday. but he could not he located that day. He was intercepted by Deputy Davis as he was leaving his house early yes terday morning.

BASEBALL AT THE PARK.
The All Stars and the Maroons Will
 Cross Bats.

Just to keep in practice for the Labor day celebration at Prescott, the Phoenix All Stars will play the Maroons at Eastlake park next Sun day. The lineup will be Morris catcher: Williams, pitcher; Hersey, first; Cuber. second; Warner, short; Duhnson. third; Sullivan, left field; Stevenson, center, and Byers, right It will be practically the same lineup as the team will show when they go to Prescott to get all that money. At Prescott they will have, however. Aver, Cuber and Pierce in addition to Williams for the pitchers box.
 Hersey. and Williams are both new men on the nine. the latter coming from a Minneapolis nine and the for mer from an eastern college. It is said to be one of the strongest aggregation of ball-twirlers the valley has seen in a long time. The game at Eastlake park will be called at p. m.

MAJESTIC THEATER
 NEARLY FINISHED
There May Be Bigger Airdomes, But None Quite so We'll Equipped.

Work on the Majestic theater, which will open for the first time next Tues day evening, is completed save for few finishing touches. Every detail from the perfectly appointed stage with its high grade scenic work, to the modern equipped box office, will be completed in it's entirety.
 Although there are larger airdome theaters in the territory, 1t Is said that there is not another open air amuse- ment house as complete in appoint ments. The stage will be large and deep. One of the best of San Fran cisco's scenic artists has been at work for the past four weeks. The seating arrangement will make the fartherest spectator in the rear have full view of the stage which has been made pos sible by the deep slope. All of the seats will be comfortable, roomy, and easy Of exit It is said that the house bv it's many exits can be emptied in two minutes.
 In the early fall the Majestic VIII be covered, and with interior decora- tions and leather backed opera chairs, will give Phoenix showgoers theater that will be hard to equal in either of the two territories.
 The opening bill composed of head liners contracted for with the Sullivan Considine vaudeville agency will, ac- cording to the statement of Manager Echlin last evening. be the finest vaudeville ever seen in Phoenix.
 Carroll Johnson, known from coast to coast as the minstrel man." heads the bill, and is considered the peer of America's minstrel artists and has been so for the past thirty years.
 Joe Edgan. who left the telegraph keys in Phoenix several years ago for the vaudeville stage. to handle song and dance sketches, is another top run ner who draws a pay roll each week that is not surpassed by any one in his line of work.
 Another comedy sketch team, John son and Cooke. will present a skit en- titled. After the Ball." comedy sketch that has made a hit with the Orpheum road show.
 Manager Echlin stated last evening that it was not his intention to close the Airdome. but for several weeks he had thought of remodeling this popular place of amusement and when it was found that the great La Ciel act could not be placed on that stage, he thought it a good time to remodel it. It is his intention to reseat it, rearrange the stage and make a high class moving picture and song and dance amusement place out of the AirdOmc. Perhaps it will be possible to open the AirdOme next week and then again it may not.

BAD DREAMS Caused by Coffee.

| T have been a coffee drinker. more | or less, ever since I can remember ! until a few months ago I became more and more nervous and irritable and finally I could not sleep at night for l was horribly disturbed by dreams of all sorts and species of distressing nightmare.
 Finally, after hearing the experi- ence of numbers of friends who had quit coffee and were drinking Pos tum, and learning the great benefits they had derived, I concluded coffee must be the cause of my trouble, so l got some POstum and had it made strictly according to directions.
 'I was astonished at the favour and taste. It entirely took the place of coffeee. and to my very great satisfaction, I began to sleep peace fully and sweetly. My nerves i'm proved, and l wish I could wean every man, woman and child from the un- wholesome drug-ordinary coffee.
 People really do not appreciate or realize what a powerful drug it is and what terrible effect it has on the human system. If they did, hardly a pound Of it would be sold. I would never think of going back to coffee again. l would almost as soon think of putting my hand in d fire after l had once been burned.
 "A young lady friend of ours had stomach trouble for long time, and could not get well as long as she used coffee. She finally quit coffee and began the use of Postum and is now perfectly well. Yours for health.
