HAD NO NUMBER-A red Rambler was seen hitting the high places in the business portion of the city yester- day without a number
Arizona republican., 1909-08-07

Sims Ely, chairman of the Arizona | Railway commission, was asked last l evening if he had anything to say re- | specting an Associated Press dispatch ! published in The Republican yesterday morning announcing that the passen- | ger agents of the railroad lines operat- i ing in Arizona. at their Los Angeles meeting had taken no action on the request of the Arizona Railway com
 mission for a reduction of passenger rates, and that failure to act amounted ! to a refusal of the request.
 Mir. Ely replied that in the first place he desired to make no comments concerning the railroads at this time. Common courtesy would suggest that the commission await some answer from the railroad men before announc- ing any program or making any crit icism. Secondly he was not prepared to accept the comment of the writer of the telegram to the effect that no ac tion should be construed as a refusal He is yet quite hopeful that the rail- road representatives will give consid eration to the request and in any event has no doubt that in due season they will make some reply to the commits sion direct IL will then be time enough to plan for the next step if there is anything to be done.
 Mir Ely said that the filing of re- quest with the railroads, naturally in fers that the commission is proceeding in earnest and under the law the final tribunal for adjudicating com plaints is the interstate commerce commission. However" he said. 'un- til the commission meets l cannot say what action will be taken. but our policy has been to lay before the rail roads only such matters as are well grounded and can be taken before the interstate commerce commission with hope of success in the event of the railroads refusing to meet our sugges- tions."
 As readers of The Republican will recall, the request of the Arizona com mission was for reduction of a half cent per mile on the passenger rates on the Fl PasO tS Southwestern. and one cent per mile on all other roads.

.ELKS PLANNING FOR
 NEXT YEARS SHOW
Having Captured the Coast They Pro- pose to Invade the Interior.

Already the local order of Elks is commencing to plan on the coming year. As soon as Exalted Ruler Driscoll returns from his vacation in the east committees will be appointed to draw up and carry out plans for q large attendance at the convention at Detroit next summer.
 According to present discussions, it is thought that an eight coach train will be sent from Phoenix to the Detroit convention, and more if pos sible. This will mean at least 200 Phoenix attendants. It is also thought possible that a car containing an eX- hibit of Salt river valley products and literature will be attached to the train, which will mean of itself a great pub- licity venture for the valley.
 The trip will occupy about ten days running and will cost per capita, as it looks at present, $50. All the mod ern conveniences that go with a twentieth century special train will be comprised in. the Phoenix Elks' spe- cial to the Detroit convention.

Mr. Meredith was a serious humor-
list. His books are replete with quaint
drolleries, but his fun was the out
come of his cynical way of looking at
human nature. Life" he says in "The
Ordeal of Richard Feverel," lis a SUI
preme procession with ironic laughter
of gods in the background.
The laughter Is not all that of the
gods, for George Meredith laughed, too,
though there was spice of sadness
in his laughter, as one of who had
looked out upon the world and had
found little there to cheer him. Nay,
Merediths humor suggested that he
made haste to laugh lest he should
weep, and at best his laughter was
charged with bitterness.
Mr.. Meredith married twice. His
first wife was a daughter Of Thomas
Love Peacock, an English humorist, to
whom he dedicated one of his first
books After twelve years his wife
died, leaving him one son, and Mr..
Meredith married again and settled
down at Box Hill. Surrey. His second
wife died Sept. II, 1885, leaving a son
and a daughter.
OF late years he lived quietly at
Box Hill. He kept himself in almost
complete seclusion. seeking recreation
mainly in long country walks. He
was regarded as the dean of English
men of letters, and received from the
King the Order of Merritt. On his S0th
birthday, Feb 21. last year, he was
honored by the leading literary men Of
Great Britain with an address of con-
graduation. His American admirers
also sent their greetings, drawn up by
Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, and signed
by such men as Mark Twain, Henry
James, Richard Watson Glider, George
W. Cable and William Dean Howells.

GEORGE MEREDITH.
English Readers Throughout World
Mourn Death of Novelist.


Mourn Death of Novelist.
George Meredith, English poet and
novelist, who passed away recently In
his unpretentious cottage In Box Hill,
Surrey, has endeared himself to En-
glish readers throughout the world for
many years. He was born In Hamp-
shire. Eng, Feb. IL, 1928, and was left
an orphan early in life. Until the
age of Is he was educated In Germany,
and before he was 20 years old he had
published poems and novel. He de-
voted himself to writing. "The Ordeal
Of Richard Feverel," which was pub
lished in 1852 was received with great
praise and has been widely read since
then.
His early life in London was an
unceasiEg struggle against poverty,
and he was hampered at the outset or
his literary career with pecuniary diff
ficulties.
Mr.. Meredith possessed In marked
degree the three grand qualities which
are essential to the making of the nov
power, narrative ca
pacity and humor.
A notable feature of the genius OF
Meredith was his power of under
standing women There is hardly a
more lovable woman in any fiction
than Diana Merton; then in The Ad-

John Burrows, the well-known scien-
tist, In regard to cows giving down
their milk says: Many persons think
that giving down or holding up the
milk by the COW is voluntary act.
In fact, they fancy the udder as a
vessel filled with milk, and that the
cow releases or withholds 1t just as
she chooses. But the udder Is a
mandatory; it Is filled with blood,
from which the milk is manufactured
while you milk. This process Is con.
trolled by the cows nervous system.
When she is excited or in any way
disturbed, as by strangers or by TAX
ing away her calf or any other cause,
the process is arrested and the milk
will not flow. The nervous energy
goes elsewhere. The whole process Is
as involuntary as Is digestion In man
and is disturbed or arrested in about
the same way.

Horned cattle and horned sheep are
rapidly disappearing. Many OF the
cattle bred and fed in the corn belt
are hornless Breeds of this kind are
growing in popularity. In the noun
famous country and on the plains
wild cattle needed long horns for the
protection of themselves and their
young. Now, however, with the plains
thickly settled and with few wild ami
mails the cattle do not need horns.
Among the hornless breeds are the
Galloway, Angus. Red Poll and Polled
Shorthorns. Polled Jersey and Polled
Hereford are also coming into favor.
BY the application of caustic potash
the growth of the horns is prevented
