.BRANDE|S OFFERED
 CHANCE OF HIS LIFE IF HE CAN PROVE HIS CLAIM THE RAILROADS WANT HIM. Quarter of a Million Year Would Be
 Considered Modest Salary.

Chicago. Nov. 23-AttOrney Louis D. Brandeis' statement before the in- terstate commerce commission on be- half of eastern shippers, that the rail- roads. through inefficient manage ment, had wasted a million dollars a day, was answered by the western railroad presidents today with tele- gram offering him a position "at his own salary" if he could point out the alleged mismanagement
 "A salary of a quarter of a million a year would not be excessive if he could save twice that much. all told, to us," said the representatives of the presidents The telegram followed a conference of western railroad presi- dents, in which Darius Miller, B. L. w. Winchell H. U Nudge and F. A. Delano are known to have partici- pated It was signed by O. l.. Dicke- son, who was authorized to speak for the western railroad presidents inter ested in the case before the interstate commerce commission. It read:
 Louis D. Brandeis-It is reported you have stated before the interstate commerce commission that the Ameri- can railroads are wasting a million dollars a day. If you can point out a practical way by which a substantial portion of this amount may be saved, several western railways would he pleased to tender you employment, al- lowing you to name your own salary. This proposition is made to you in the same spirit of sincerity in which you rendered your statement to the

The constitutional convention yes terday spent almost the entire day on the legislative apportionment bill and while there were many things that ought to have been changed it was evident from the beginning that at tempts to effect essential changes would be without avail So from any point of view the day may be re- garded as having been frittered away.
 Late in the afternoon, MT. Ellin wood succeeded in zknocking quite a hole in that part of the legislative committees substitute relating to the procedure of legislatures but the committee and It's supporters by quick and diligent work aided by the general inconsistency of many of the members managed to get 1t pretty we'll plugged up.
 A very important paragraph of the Ellinwood amendment provided that no local or special legislation should be considered until notice of the character of it should be given by  publication in the community to be affected by it, the expense of such publication, as it was afterwards ex- plained to be borne by those who might believe that 1t would be good legislation.
 Though this had been adopted by a decisive majority, in the next breath it was stricken out The op- ponents of the bill urged that all that was provided for in that para graph would be taken care of by the referendum Yes, MT. Ellinwood ad- mitted, but at an expense of about 30,000 in each case. It seemed to be the theory of the opponents that sometimes snap" legislation is good thing; MT Cunniff related case in point, when the corporations were prevented from registering protest against some proposed act. Thus publicity in the matter of leg islation is not always a good thing.

thing he was swept downstream and out of sight of the party. Armed with
 a long rope Westgard and Drum
 hurried along the embankments as best they could and an hour later discovered
 McNamara clinging to a projecting log in midstream. Although nearly ex-
 hausted. he managed to tie the rope which was thrown him and was final ly pulled ashore. The party camped that night in an old forage station at the ford, where McNamara was placed
 beside a big open fire and finally brought about so that he was able to proceed the next day. Another time, McNamara. who had stuck to hls wheel all day while the machine was plough ing through mountains of snow. was taken from his seat so benumbed with the cold that he could not walk and his clothing was found to be frozen stiff.
 When the party was once more on it's way, the road was lost and they wandered about a day and a night without finding their way. Without food and water. it began to look rather dubious and hope had about been given up hiNh NhtS oNdS5tltu liilO MCNdI- thy's ranch. Finally the roads leading into Globe were encountered and the party proceeded from that time on into this city without further remarkable incident. From Roosevelt to this city. MT. Westgard states he encountered the best road he has found west of Chicago. He will recommend to the United States public roads bureau of the department of Agriculture. of which he is a commissioned officer, that at tention be given to about 200 miles of the road over which he had to pass in coming from Albuquerque to Fort Apache. He believes that with the CO., operation of the Arizona territorial government that a road which would be of the best could easily be construct ed and that this section could then boast of as good roads as are to be found in the country.
 The party will remain in Phoenix at least oyer today and if the condition of Mrs. Westgard win permit will pro ceed tomorrow via the way of Parker to Los Angeles and San Francisco. President G. Purdy Bullard of the Mari copa Automobile club. visited MT. last evening and assured him of the welcome of the organization he and of the public of PhQe- nix. owing to the condition of Mrs. Westgard it is not likely that the en- afforded the party by local enthusiasts will take on any semblance of a reception or banquet, although this was at first considered.

Marshal Brewster wired the war de partmnt today and received the re ply that the United States military forces at Fort Mcintosh would be placed under orders to cooperate with him. As a result, he requested that a company of troops be sent to Minera and at 3:3O this afternoon company A of the Nineteenth infan- try, under command of Captain Hea ton, departed by train for that point The party near Minera dwindled, ac- cOrding to official reports received by the Mexican authorities, from 200 to 10 men, who worked their way into Mexico.
 Incoming passengers on trains from Mexico had stories to tell re- garding the outbreak. One passenger told a story that there was treason within the ranks of the Mexican army and that ten officers were shot by order of the Mexican authorities

Parsons also believed that the state would make money by paying its lawmakers living wages and Mir Short favored paying them so much that the corporations would not have to supplement 1heir re- muneratiOn. Mir Wells believed that tine committees recommendation was happy medium.
 Both amendments were rejected and the figures fixed by the commit tee prevailed The remaining section prohibiting state officers from ac- ccpting passes was amended at the suggestion of Dr. Tuthil so as not to apply to members of the national guard travelIng under orders and as a whole the proposition as amended vas recommended for adoption.

WHERE TROUBLE BEGAN
But 1t Was Not Altogether Unex-
 pected.

There were only two points on which it was expected that there would be a sharp difference of opin- ion. the apportionment and the sal aries of the members of the legisla- ture On both of these points Mir. Coker had differed from his asso- ciates of the committee.
 There was no business before the convention on assembling and it went into the committee of the whole with MT. Crutchfield in the chair. The trouble began at the outset when MT. Osborn moved to change the number of senators from nineteen, as pro vided in the substitute. to fourteen MT Cassidy replied that the commit tee had been unable to make an ab- solutely fair apportionment but the proposal of MT Osborn contemplated a still more unfair representation. Mir Osborn replied that the senate was not supposed to be representa- tive of a certain number of people. Such a representation was to be found in the house
 Mir Lynch pointed out the difficul- ties of the committee and he said it WOuiu HOW De lIlpOSSible lo lhdhc o change without a reopening of the entire matter with no probability that a better result would be arrived at
 The First Blood.
 The Osborn motion was lost by a vote of IS to 29 and MT. Cobb offer ed one providing for seventeen sen ators, Pima, Maricopa and Cochise. each to have two Mir. Cobb also criticised the manner in which the committee had based its apportion- ment-On the vote of the counties when in all other cases it had been based on population.
 This opened up a discussion which kept breaking out during the day and led. to an expression of a want of confidence in the accuracy of the United States census.
 Mir Feeney amended the Cobb the committee report with respect to this section. His amendment was divided and that part of it relating to the senatorial representation was carried by a vote of B to 14.
 Mir Coker then tried to secure an amendment as to the apportionment of representatives but was met with the surprising objection that notwith standing the Feeney amendment had been divided the whole matter had been settled. This objection was sus- tained by the chair and Mir osborn entered a protest against gag rule.

HYDE CASE COMING
 TO THE FORE AGAIN

Helena, Mont. Nov. 23.-If Dr. B. c. Hyde is awarded. a new trial it will probably be because John EdgertOn, prominent Helena mining man and mem Der of the last legislature, saw Hyde's name in a directory of the Phi Delta Gamma fraternity.
 Edgerton tonight told the As- sociated Press the full story of how he sent Hyde a box of cyan idle. estimated at two pounds. and how. over seventeen years later, he came to let Hyde's attorney know this fact.
 Edgerton's statement is con- sidered of great importance to Hyde in view of the fact that the latter, during the trial, could not explain to the jury where he pro- cured the cyanide. which he ad- mitted he had been using for many years.

 The vast resources of this branch of the family are supposed to be for the use of the leader of the present outbreak During more than forty days Madero spent in this country he had constant consultations in one of the hotels here with visitors from all sections of Mexico. who came and went, usually remaining a few days His family is still at the hotel.

London. Nov. 23.-Reports re- ceived by business houses say the Brazilian fleet has mutinied.
 A private dispatch says the crews of Brazilian warships have mutinied and fired on the capital. Later private telegrams from Rio de Janeiro say all business has been suspended there and the situation is critical. Negotiations Between officers ashore and mutinous marines on board one or more warships have not yet been concluded.
 The Brazilian legation here re- ceived a dispatch saying that the outbreak was not of a politic- al nature. According to this dis patch the crew of a Dreadnaught laying in the harbor mutinied against the officers. The gov ernment has taken measures to restore order

PREVENTIVES OF CRIME
Superintendent Dickie Talks on
Municipal Fairgrounds

OAKLAND, Jan. 24-George f.
Diclze, superintendent of Fairgrounds.
delivered an address on the playground
movement last night before the Oak
land fellowship at Lincoln hall. EX-
pert supervision of Fairgrounds was
necessary, the speaker held.
Most boys get into the juvenile
court" he said, through having too
much life and not knowing what 10 do
with It. or through having too little life
and not being developed normally. 1t
is the failure 10 develop properly the
spirit Of adventure, the desire to get
out Of the humdrum into the exciting.
that leads children into law breaking.
A great many of the misdemeanors and
crimes of children would never occur If
The children had Fairgrounds with
good play leaders to give expression to
youthful exuberance.
The chief reason for supervision is
that children must be taught how to
play. All that the child starts with
is the desire TO play. A good play
ground leader directs these various in
stincts and desires into healthfuI and
normal expressions"
