the immediate future.

READY TO FILL GAP.
Salt Lake Route To Build Its Own
Road Through Cajon Pass.

Twenty millions of dollars worth
of bonds of the Salt Lake road have
been set apart for the construction of
the line between Riverside and Dag
Sett, and within very few days en-
aineers will be in the field to make
the final survey and location for the
link which shall complete this line
ard bring it into the valley on it's
own rails. The San Bernardino Sun
hts this information from a source
so close to official that it cannot
be questioned, and while it may not
be admitted officially for few days,
is believed to be absolutely anthem
tic.
The Salt Lake company has re-
.,sntly authorized a bond issue for
$50 ,OOO,0 900, of which $3O,OOO,O0 are
said to be for the purpose of taking
Up other bonds, and $4,000, 900 to
fl. nish the money to build this ex-
Lensive gap between Riverside and
Daggett, distance of little more
than 100 miles.
This information is not specific, as
IS the route to be followed, further
than to state that the end of the
freight division is likely to be at Col
ton, on account of the location of the
g Espee preceding plant there,
nich will also be used by the Salt
Lake line.
A part of the plan is believed to be
j loop line around the valley, touch
.~g both Redlands and Highland
where the orange crop would mater
tally swell the freight tonnage, but
that is no. likely to be the main line
for through traffic, for the mileage
would be increased by at least 20
miles over line following the sur
sey through the eastern part of San
Bernardino, and heading into Cajor
pass along the east side after coast
ing along the mountain side from
point north Of A street, bending te
the west in the neighborhood of the
Arrowhead settlement. where the
Traction line to Arrowhead turns tt
the east.
There is another survey still high
err oa the mountain side, that cross
es in front of the Arrowhead hotel
coming up from Highland, but wheth
or this might be utilized for the Sal
LaFc's line out of the valley seems
uncertain.
However. the certain part of thu
announcement is that the time TO
the financing of this important bi
of construction has arrived.

complete Knockout.
Rosebud's ancestors originated in
the jungles of Africa and while their
pugilistic attributes are not OF record,
Rosebud has posed as real pug and
Cften expressed a desire to get into
the ring with Sunshine; hence the
matched was arranged.
Up to the sixth round, the dark
man had the best of the argument
but in the sixth, yellow streak

TO THE PUBLIC.

Through tie good graces of the Pi-
oche Commercial Club the attention,
of the merchants Of Phoebe was called
to the long hours of work that was
required of them and their employees
TO conform to the opening and closing
hours as now exist among the mer-
chants. 1t resulted in meeting OF
the merchants and the creation of the
Phoebe Merchants Association. The
business firms as their names ap-
pear below have agreed, commencing
december 1st, to close their doors
to business at 8 o'clock p. m. each
Gay and to remain closed all day on
Sundays, except the drug store.
Heretofore, the merchants and their
employees have had to work from thir-
ieen to fifteen hours per day and half
o. each Sunday-no opportunity was
given them for rest or recreation; no
time was permitted them to enjoy the
social pleasures of either home or
friends or give the attention and care
that s due them to their wives and
+, children.
Knowing that we can trust the peo-
pie to be fair, generous and right,
we come to you asking for your en-
dorsement, for your support and in.

" Boyle Had Razor.
That the threats OF a double suicide
made by Mrs. Boyle last night were
not mere idle words was shown today,
when it became known that q razor,
which had been secreted in his cloth
ing, was taken from Boyle today, and
that Mrs. Boyle had taken what she
says was enough morphine to kill two
people" The morphine was taken be-
tween midnight and daylight, but had
little effect or the woman.
In the cell adjoining Mrs. Boyle there
is a woman who is said to be addicted
to the use OF morphine and who has
been supplied with it during her i'm
prisonment, Mrs. Boyle is said to have
secured several tablets from this
woman n to ave swallowed them.
She vas rendered partly unconscious
during the night and was very sick
this morning. 1t is believed the effect
OF the morphine caused her to col
lapse in the court room.
Fearing an attempt to carry out
their threats, Sheriff Chess had Boyle
carefully searched befl re taking him

Washington, May 12.-President Taft
today sent TO congress a special mes
sage recommending legislation at the
present extra session, amending the
Foraker act under which Porto Rico
is governed. The president directs the
attention of congress to affairs on the
island laying particular stress on what
he terms "a situation OF unusual
gravity" developed through the fall
ure of the executive assembly of Porto
Rico to pass the usual appropriation
bills, leaving the island without sup
port after June 30. next.
Porto Ricans have forgotten the gen.
crosby Of the United States, the presi-
dent says, in the desire of certain of
the islands political leaders for power
and he adds that the present situation
indicates that the United States has
gone too far in the extension Of po-
litical power to the Porto Ricans. He
concludes hat the absolute power of
appropriation should be taken away
from 'those who have shown them
selves too irresponsible to enjoy IT,"
He says toe great power has been
vested I'm the delegates. He points out
that there never was a time In the
history OF the island when the average
prosperity of the Porto Rican has been
higher. his opportunity greater, his
liberty in thought and action more Sc
cure" For the first time in It's history,
Porto Rico, he says, is living under
laws enacted by its wi legislature.

MRS. BOYLE CONVICTED
OF AIDING KIDNAPER

Mercer, Pa, May 1.-THE jury in
the trial of Mrs. James H. Boyle re-
turned a verdict of guilty as indicted
in the second count.
The second count charged her with
aiding and abetting the KIDNAPPING.
Manifesting the same stoical indiffer-
ence to her fate, which Ia character
lied her throughout her trial, Mrs. Jas.
II. Boyle, a immovable as the jury re-
turned its verdict. A heavy veil which
h has worn throughout the trial con-
cealed her features. so that II could
not be seen whether her color changed,
but there was not a movement of her
body to indicate that she so much as
heard her doom pronounced. Her indif-
ference was even more pronounced than
1t has been during preceding portions Of
the trial.
The courtroom was crowded almost
to s~uffocation when the jury filed In at
1880 p. m. The foreman sail they had
agreed. The Judge warned that no
demonstration would be tolerated and
the verdict was read In silence.
The jury reached q verdict on the
hrst ballot this morning. Court had
adjourned, however. until 1880 in the
afternoon and the verdict could not be
reported until that time.
Addresses Are Made.
! The address of Judge Miller, counsel
for Mrs. Boyle, to the jury was begun
at $3.50 o'clock. He presented to the
court eight points of law which he
asked to have submitted to the jury. In
substance they were to the effect that
p crime could only be punished in the
jurisdiction where it was committed
and that in the pending case there had
been no testimony to show that Mrs.
Boyle had committed any overt act in
Mercer county in connection with the
abduction of the Whitla boy. Instruc-
tons to the jury to bring in a'verdict
of not guilty were asked.
Judge Miller intimated that power
full influences were yelled. referring
to the suppression of the efforts of the
Boyles to bring into the case the name
of a third party. .
Judge Miller's address occupied an
hour and he was followed by Quincy
Adams Gordon for the prosecution.
Blames Some Other Women.
On her way to Jail after her convic-
ton, Mrs. Boyle expressed the belief
that she had been convicted to satisfy
the venom and jealousy of some Mer-
Ger women ~.
Had / been a plain girl" she said,
these same women would have pitied
me. If the jury had acquitted me, l
believe these women would have tarred
and ~feathered me. A sacrifice had to
DC Hlaue anu JIlIiIhle anu are the VIC
tins. They think they will railroad
me to the penitentiary. They will find
they are mistaken. MY fight has only
begun. Jimmie and / were not allowed
to open our mouths at the trial. Now
we will do the talking and the people
will know upon whom the blame should
fall.
II admit that Boyle brought the boy
to me at Cleveland, that l cared for
him, was kind to him, entertained him.
l never asked why he vas there; new
er asked where Jimmie got him. He
asked me as his wife to take care of
the boy for a few days and / did so.
II that is a crime there are millions
of wives waiting to be convicted.
II tried to make this explanation yes
terday, but was choked off. In the
future they won't be able to choke me
off,

WOMAN THREATENS TO GIVE
THE REAL DEAL AWAY

Mercer, Pa, May 11.-"Life in the
p~enitentiary would kill me in a week
or 10 days and rather than submit to
this / would take the Dutch route"
said Mrs. Boyle today. Like her hus-
band she is anxious to tell more than
has been brought out in the trial of
kidnapping of Billy Whitla.
IF Jimmie and l are sent to the
penitentiary," she said, we will not go
alone. Others will go with us or join
us soon there. Half the truth has not
yet been told in this case. One other
man who planned the whole affair. has
not been arrested. l am willing to suf-
fer for any crime l may nave COM
mitted, but there is no evidence that l
have been mixed up in this case and
rather than suffer injustice from the
court 1 will quit this earth and take
Justice from my maker"
