Jerome to Flagstaff is already in op- eration, part of it having been bought from the farmers in the Verde valley who had connection with the government line that extended into 'Fgagstaf.- This latter line has been taken over by the Arizona Overland Telephone company. ",
 The next move of the company Is to build east from Flagstaff to Albuquer que and west along the Santa Fe into Needles, from which point eventually it is planned to reach Los Angeles. The expenditures in Arizona alone will ap- proximate a quarter of million dol lars, and from $6O,000 to $75,000 will be distributed in Yavapai county.
 There will be no attempt, for the present, made to establish local tele phone system, as the company is con fning itself to long distance business.
 Permits from the government over the forest reserves have already been obtained, and the work of completing the system will be prosecuted as speed fly as possible.
 To the merchants of Prescott, the new telephone line should be of great benefit, especially as it will permit of closer business relations with King man, Seligman, Ash Fork and with the farmers of the fertile Verde valley.

By securing the franchise for tele- phone and electric system which was granted to Robert Brow, NJ. J. Hickey and II. T. Andrews by the city council, in the early part of the year, the Ari. zona Overland Telephone company SC, cures foothold in Prescott, as the base of operations which will not only extend throughout Arizona, but also into New Mexico and California.
 W. H. Thorpe, the general manager, and c. H. Rutherford of Jerome, the attorney of the company, have been in Prescott for the past two days, and completed the arrangements for the as signment of the franchise. They also closed a deal for the purchase of the lot on North Cortez street, adjoining the Mulrein block. It has a ffty-foot frontage and upon it will be erected a handsome brick building in which will be located the general offices of the company and central exchange for the entire system.
 Manager Thorpe has been working on the proposition for over year, and has been doing it so quietly that his operations did not excite much atten- tion. He has already completed line from Globe to the outskirts of Jerome and within a few days both cities will be connected by wire. The line from

SPRECKLES ON THE WITNESS
 STAND
GIVES DETAILED REASONS FOR OPPOSING CALHoUN's PLAN OF TROLLEY DEVELOPMENT
 IN SAN FRANCISCO
By Aesociated Press.

By ASSocfated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May E.-Ru' dolph Spreckles, banker, who eontribut- ed $l00,OOO to prosecute the inquiry into municipal conditions in 1906, was called to the witness stand in the Cal houn trial and gave detailed reasons for opposing Calhoun's plan of rail road development and the manner in which he became involved as a sup porter of the prosecution. The witness was still on the stand when an ad- iournment was taken till tomorrow.
 Earlier in the day there was an ex- haustive inquiry by Heney into the financial affairs of the company, with Secretary Walcutt of the corporation supplying information.
 Calling Spreckles to the stand, Heney announced he had thrown down the bars; that he stood ready to meet any line of inquiry the defense might choose to pursue when the cross-exami- nation was reached. Spreckles testified he came into, conflict with the. United Railroads in 1905, when, he learned of the proposal to substitute an overhead trolley for the cable on the Sutter street system. As owner of property on the lines on this system and member of the Sutter Street Improve ment club. Spreckles said, he actively opposed the project among his infu- eutial aeauaintanees and had consented three times to meet Calhoun and dis cuss the project. Detailing the con ferenees to which he referred, the wit ness provided the most interesting fea- ture of the days proceedings. He said he steadfastly refused to accept the street railway presidents argument in support of the overhead trolley and had reflected offers to compromise what he believed to be to the city's disad- vantage.
 "On one occasion at the third ln- terview,' said Speckles, "Calhoun said he would be willing to withdraw the cable on Pacific avenue, where my res idenee is located, and substitute an overhead trolley on Broadway, in the same district. He called attention to the fact, in common with many of my neighbors, that I had carriages and automobiles and was not dependent on street ears. In reply, l said my fight was not a selfish one; that l was in terested in behalf of the people not so fortunate, and that would not enter tain the proposition.
 Heney then led the witness to relate The circumstances under which he ar ranged with Gallagher for contract of immunity, absolving the supervisors from the legal penalty. He testified that Burns arranged for Gallagher to meet him at the Presidio; that he had zone armed with authority by the dis

As soon as the senate took up the cutlery amendments offered by Simmons, cutting the rates, they were rejected and the senate offered amend ments reducing the duties on razors to the rates of the Dingley bill. Senator Shoot, opposing the amendments, said if the duty was 600 per cent it would not increase the price to the consumer.

mier Christensen opposed it with
vigor, and submitted another plan,

injured As Result Of Runaway on Ap-
proach to Emerson Bridge.
Five buggies were coming up the
incline at the Emerson bridge at
>Pembina, and just as they reached
the bridge proper met runaway
team hitched to lumber wagon COM
ing toward them at full speed without
a driver. Mrs. A. R. Harvey Of this
city and Mrs. Hallet, mother Of Miss
Hallet Of the public schools at Penn
bina, occupied the second place in
the procession and their horse and
buggy took the full force of the COL
1ision, the runaways striking the
horse fair in front, knocking him
down, tearing the harness into bits,
and then went over the upturned bug
gy, smashing it into kindling wood.
The next buggy was occupied by
DR.. Wallace's wife and baby. Mrs.
Wallace jumped from the buggy with
her baby and stood on the narrow
hand railing of the bridge and was
not hurt, though the buggy was badly
damaged. The runaway team was
stopped and Mrs. Hallet and Mrs.
Harvey taken from the debris, both
unconscious. Mrs. Hallet, however,
received no serious injury beyond a
slight shock. Mrs. Harvey was hurt
considerably, but unfortunately had
no bones broken. She was very badly
bruised from her feet to her head and
suffered considerably from the shock.
She was brought home the same night
and is now able to be up part Of the
day. It was certainly remarkable
that not more injury was done in such
an accident.
