SUIT INVOLVES
 FREIGHT RATES
RepIevin Action Against s. F. P. & P. By New York Ship
 per Interests CoIonistS
RAILROAD SEEKS MORE
 MONEY ON PAID CHARGES

PHOENIX, July 26.--While the sum involved is not large the principle that may be determinated. in the case of Robert Mason of New York against the s. F. P. & F., which went up to the district court from the justice court on a replevin suit last week. Is very important to colonists and ship pers to Arizona. The case involves the question of what was the legal rate existing at the time on prepaid shipment of goods from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Phoenix, Arizona, on which the general agent here demanded $50 excess and refused to deliver the goods till it was paid. The district court may also have to determine whether a replevin suit lies for re covery of property in case in the de termination of which, certain princi- ples of the interstate commerce act hereunder, are involved. Should the court decide that it could not lie ship pers would be left absolutely with re dress in court.
 The story of the suit is interesting. Robert Mason is a wealthy mining man. In May he shipped two horses and a camp outfit from Las Vegas, valued at s250, on which he prepaid freight charges of $1S3.50. When the general agent at Las Vegas collected the amount he stated that he thought it was too high but that it would cover the rate and if there was balance due it would be refunded by the agent at PhoeEix
 When Mir. Mason arrived here and presented his bill of lading according to affidavit, the general agent stated that something like $50 freight was due. Mr. Mason refused to pay it. Later MT. Goldsworthy called him ove-. the phone and told him that the additional amount due was s60.
 The suit recalls other instances in which colonists have complained of property being held by the railroad company til additional freight charges were forthcoming-a policy which mer- chants proclaim is giving the country black eye. Not long ago a man was induced to come here from Wyoming by realty firm and had prepaid his carload. When he arrived here it was claimed by the Santa Fe that large sum was still due them. Unfortunate ly the colonist had litle cash and his stock was suffering for care. He was in . strained situation. but farmer in the valley came to his rescue and advanced the additional payment. The newcomer was in frame of mind to quit the country. It is also recalled that some German colonists came here and had a similar experience. One eastern farmer who had prepaid his stuff and was later made to pay addi- tional charges, wrote back to his friends that he would advise them not to come here for they would be held up as soon as they got off the train. and probably as long as they stayed here. The farmer was mad at the time but since has modified his views regarding the length of time the hold up will occupy.

MAPP HILTUMEN GETS
 WOUND OVER HEART

A Finlander, of whose copious and scrambled name Mapp Hiltunen is but a negligible integer, almost joined the during a bloody affray with a son os the Montezumas at thirst bazaar near Lowell.
 Because of the impenetrable taci- turnity of the participants. witnesses and peace officers, detailed account of the fracas can not yet be obtained, that Hiltunen almost received a death wound at the hands of Dalentine Sanchez at the Travellers Rest dur ing drunken brawl early yesterday morning in which the two leading ac- tors yielded knives with the dexteri.y usually attributed to their respective races That. Sanchez succeeded in winning the vicious 'go'' is attributed wholly to his greater agility and less inebriated condition at the time of the encounter. It is also a matter of fact that they were not interfered with to any remarkable extent by their awed auditors, and were 1t not for the prompt action of one of the witnesses at the moment of the Finnis impale- AAiShe thCic "cuio hdft DtCu dt tCdst one more occasion for the ponderment of coroner's jury in this district.
 Although Hiltunen swcre out com plaint against Sanchez soon after .he formers arrest by Constable Bailey of Lowell. 1t is the opinion of many in that city that the Mexican was not the only one to blame; for he latter, who has for ten years been an employe of local contractor of this district, and for the past three months a mem Der of the C. & As employees, has an excellent reputation for industrious ness and peaceful demeanor. It is known that the peace officers of Low ell feel that the Finlander must ad- duce stronger testimony than has been thus far furnished if the Mexican Is to be held upon the charge preferr- ed.

prison at Atlanta. The case was ap. pealed to the United States circuit court of appeals and a new trial granted on the ground that the pre- siding judge had erred in charging the jury. At the second trial Major Breese was tried alone and a mis- trial resulted. The cases were then removed from Asheviile to Charlotte and Major Breese tried for the third time. Another mistrial resulted. Major Breese was tried for the fourth time at Charlotte and convicted, the jury finding him guilty on the misap- plication count and on the embezzle- ment count. The court imposed a sentence of seven years in prison. Again the case was carried up to the United States circuit court of appeals and dismissed on the ground that the Asheville indictment was faulty be- cause two of the members of the grand jury had not paid their taxes.

COLORED GIRL |S
 ARRESTED
Daisy Shannon Needed Four teen Dollars and Raised a
 Postal Money Order
U. s. COMMISSIONER HOLDS
 HER FOR GRAND JURY

Daisy Shannon. colored. and of her kind not bad to look at, was arrested yesterday al Naco by Postoffice h. spector Crawford, of Los Angeles, and brought to this city, where she was arraigned before U. s. Commissioner Taylor. charged with raising the amount on a postal money order from S4 to Sl4.
 The money order was sent to Daisy by her husband, William Shannon, of Benson. Ii was for only four dollars, when Daisy expected more. and. in fact, needed fourteen. Pen and ink being handy the trick of add ing ten dollars to the face of the or der was not difficult, and looked like an easy way to make up the difficien- cy caused by Williams carelessness. The order. after 1t was altered, look ed good to Daisy. but when she pre- sented 1t at the Naco postoffice Post master Folsom was not to be fooied especially as he had carbon copy Of the order from Benson in front of him. Much to the chagrin of Daisy the order was taken up. not even the four dollars paid, and Inspector Craw- fcrd, from Globe, sent to arrest her
 After the arrest Mrs Shannon was brought to this city and arraigned be- fore Commissioner Taylor. She said that she did not know it was unlawful to tamper with money orders. Ths commissioner held her under s1.500 bend to appear before the Federal grand jury at Tombstone at it's next sitting.
 Pending her transference to the Tombstone jail the prisoner is locked up in the local bastile.

 the three defendants, is now to face jury for the fifth time. The original

A CASE OF IDENTITY.

'It's a great help to be able to size up the men you come in contact with, said a business man to his son: but it's more important still that you should first know yourself.
 For instance. A noisy, bunch tackled out of their club late one night and up the street. They stopped in front of an imposing residence. After considerable discussion one of them advanced and pounded on the door. A woman stuck her head out of a sec ond story window and demanded. none too sweetly. What do you want?"

SENATOR'S FROM WEST

Free Hices Impossible
Continued from First Pagel Aldrich to be used in refuting this ar gument.

Continued from First Pagel Aldrich to be used in refuting this ar gument.
 Free Hides impossible.
 The senators entrusted with the task of canvassing the senate report ed today that it would be impossible to adopt a report making hides free. The senators conferred with some house leaders, and were informed that it is just as impossible to pass a report through the house without free hides. This information was com municated to the conferees and cou- vinced them it would be futile to pass any more time trying to agree unless concessions were made to the cattle interests.
 It is desired for Payne 10 have an opportunity to prepare an exhaustive statement which will be presented to the house with the conference repor This will require two or three days, and 1t Is likely no effort will be made to get rule through the house to- morrow.
 Philippine Tariff Re-opened.
 The Philippine tariff section was re-opened by the conferees at the re- quest of the president. Al amend nent was adopted yesterday provid- ing that goods manufactured in the Philippines must be only of ingredi- ents grown or produced in the islands in order to be admitted free to the United States. President Taft took the position that this amendment gould stifle manufacturing in the isl- ands. General Clarence Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular affairs. called on several of the conferees and urged an amendment be adopted pro viding or free admission when not more than twenty per cent of such goods were composed Of foreign mate rial. The suggestion was adopterd.
 The conference took steps toward the final disposition of the wood pulp and print paper schedule. although it is understood no rates are definitely fixed. It is reported that a duty of s3.I5 ton will be levied on print pa per.
 It is reported vote on coal. oil, lumber. hosiery. gloves. print paper and iron ore will be taken tomorrow.

Want Game Laws Chan6ed

Little Rock, Ark. Nov, A. The next legislature will be asked
 to make some radical changes in
 the game laws of Arkansas. At
 the present time no nonresident
 hunters are allowed in the state. no matter what license they are
 willing to pay for the privilege of hunting in the state. Game War; den Vissart is every day receiving a number of letters from nonresL ideuts who want to come to Arkc ansas and enjoy a short season of sport The Arkansas Sportsman's Association sees the injustice to the nonresidents who in all other states are charged a license and the organization will ask the next General Assembly to pass an act iicenseing nonresidents to hunt in the state. Game Warden Vissart has also received a. letter from a sportsman in the southern part of the state who is fencing a range for the purpose of raising deer of the buck and black tail species. These deer can only be secured from New Mexico and through the game warden there who is the only one authorized to ship them out. He can only ship them to game wardens and for this reason Warden Warden ViS-
 sart was appealed to.

Expensive Sorghum.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. A. Sorghum will not be planted on the state farm next year. It is too expensive. Supt. Pitcock still has a day shift of s convicts that make sorghum and another shift of the same number that work at night. This is 16 men working to get about barrels of sorghum daily. This is depriving the state of men who could be earning S1.5O cents a day on contract work and the cost of production and the value of the land planted in sorghum must a'so be estimated Supt Pitcock says the land pre- ducei plenty of cane but it is too costly to work it up. He says the convicts could be working at the farm next spring still making up sorghum without running out Of cane.
