Connolly SUES LAWLER
Asks Damages in $4,000 for Alleged
SIanderous Statements.

Washington, May 28.-Christopher
P. Connolly, lawyer of Montana and
New York. and we'll known writer for
the magazines. has filed suit in the
supreme court OF the District of
Columbia to recover $4,000 damages
for alleged SANDER from Oscar Law
Ter, assistant attorney general for the
interior department The suit is the
first of the threatened legal proceed
ings growing out of the Ballinger-
Pinchot inquiry. 1t is rumored around
the court that Secretary Ballinger is
prepared to invoke the law against
some of his alleged traducers.
The basis of the action is the testi-
mony alleged to have been given by
Mr.. Lawler May II before the Balm
ger-Pinchot committee wherein Mr..
Lawler is alleged to have referred to
Mr.. Connolly and others as "despicable
scounGrels who would stoop to any
depths of degradation" He is further
alleged to have testified that "a man
named Connolly stood in the dock of
the steamship Republic just before she
went down and trampled down women
and children in an attempt to get the
life boat"
When asked 10 identify the Con-
nelly referred to, 1t is alleged Mr.. Law
Weekly and is tall slender man with
a short gray mustache. This, Mr.. Con-
nelly says, described him Mr.. Law
Ter is further alleged to have said that
he had considerable contempt for the
"Connelly connected with Collier s
Weekly anyway, and would not put
him above anything of that kind
Mr.. Connolly charges that this con-
Meeting him with the person on board
the Republic is false and the accusa-
ton was maIiciously made.
Mr.. Connolly said later that at the

C. w. Colt, engineer for the board of
railway commissioners, makes a report
on the Santa FEES track building ex-
periments on the Kinsley branch which
is of general interest. According %
this report the company has laid steel
three different ways. Mr.. Colt says:
1.-The Kinsley branch is 81 miles long
and there are at the present time be-
tween 500 and 900 men engaged in re-
constru ting work on this line laying
new 90-pound steel rails, putting in
new ties and ballasting with crushed
rock
There will be 25 miles of Weber joint
track and 80 miles of special anglebar
track. For the screw spiked track the
ties have to be sized to an even thick
ness; holes are bored by a special con-
structed machine to an even gauge.
When the ties are placed every joint
must fit to a fraction. A special ma
chine screws the spikes down, binding
the anglebar to the joint of the tie as
one complete body.
This long line, when completed, Will
be an exhibition track. On that part
of the track which is completed the
cars ride as smoothly as one could
wish for and very fast running is ex-
pected to be done over the track"

AN OLD Thermometer.
Weather Men Clean Instrument, in
Use Thirty-Seven Years.

Today at the local station of thu
weather beureau a thermometer older
than the weather bureau is being
cleaned and repaired. It will be re-
turnd to the cooperative station at In
dependence, where it has been in use
for more than 20 years. 1t was first
sent to Independence when the weather
work was included in the United States
army signal service and was used I'M
til this spring by J. M. Altaffer. Mr..
Altaffer has been making observations
at independence for 81 years, with the
exception of two months. He holds the
record for continuous service in Kan
sas. The thermometer is the fifth Oldest
in Kansas.
In 1873 Mr. Altaffer began making
daily observations for the weather de-
partment of the signal service and I'M
til this spring he kept it up. If ever a
man deserved a reward for good work
done in the weather bureau without
pay and without hope of pay, weather
men think it is Mr. Altaffer. His first
rain gauge was an old tin can, four
inches in diameter and the precipita-
ton was measured with a lead pencil
on which distance was emeasured by
notches which recorded even sixteenths
inches. Thus the work, under difficult
ties, was kept up. This spring Mr..
Altaffer resigned in order that the
work might be turned over to a young
man." he said. His successor, the
young man" is so years of age.
'"Therm ometers are like violins," said
Observer Flora. 1.-The older they get
the better they get. Glass contracts.

can Real Estate company of Chicago, quaintance of Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix board of trade, is vice president He called on MT Welch yesterday morning, presented a let
 ter of introduction from Mir. Hinck- ley. Naturally, MT Welch was dis
 posed to do his best to entertain him
 for the day. for personal reasons. and
 officially, for the reason that MT.
 Porter is now a foreign correspondent of the London Times and this valley
 just at this time is not q bit back
 ward in acquainting all reputable mediums of publicity with its won derful resources.
 Acquainting Dwight E. Heard with the personality of his visitor, Mir
 Heard at once placed his automobile at the disposal of MT. Welch. who took his guests for a ride over the valley, or so much of it as could be seen in the time available. The effect apparently was to convince at least one representative of one of the worlds greatest newspapers of the greatness of the Salt River valley and it's wonderful promise for the fu- ture. Mir. Porter expressed himself as not only delighted. but incompar- ably surprised He said that while he had read a great deal about irriga- ton and had seen some irrigated sec tions, never until yesterday had he an adequate appreciation of what a properly irrigated country may be He was taken north and east of the .sv, tl l., Tr part of the valley. the evident pro- ductiveness of what he did see gave him an excellent idea of the rest of it, and better yet what it will all be with the further operation of the plans now in fulfillment. It was his plan to go to the Grand Canyon and thence to California. but his ride yes terday convinced him that it was his duty to go to Roosevelt also if he can so arrange his itinerary, and he will try to do it.
 The incident of MT Porters visit is illustrative of a plan the board of trade has adopted. or at least seri- ously discussed, of having a visiting committee whose duty it shall be to meet geusts of the hotels or visitors in the city of worth and standing and who may be here for only day or two, and see that they are shown what the valley has to interest them. The real estate men do a great deal of this work and are always glad to do it, but there are visitors who are not actually looking for investment and who will fight shy of real estate men, however cordial or disinterested may be their entertainment.
