sheriff and three years later was
chosen mayor. and was reelected in
1890. 1t was Mayor Grant who made
the telephone and telegraph compa-
MES take down their overhead wires.
The wires formed a network over the
city, interfering with firemen and
forming a danger and a nuisance.
When the subways were ready and
the wires did not come down Mayor
Grant settled the controversy in a
characteristic way. He went out with
gangs of linemen, laborers and axmen
and chopped down the poles and tore
down the wires.
In 1894 he was again a candidate
for mayor, but met with defeat at the
polls. He then withdrew from active
participation in politics.
Mayor Grant was a man of fine ply.
steal proportions and was big intel.
lectually. He was fond of outdoor life,
took deep interest in trotting horses
and was a member of several golf
clubs. He married daughter of ex-
Senator Murphy, Of Troy. In business
he amassed q large fortune and was
charitable during his life in its dis
position At Christmas time he spent
large sums in charity. While Mayor
Grant like his great namesake, Gen.
Grant. was a man of silence, he was
not In the least morose.

about 121 years old, few men can bs
found today to identify without look
Ing at the names, the pictures and
the busts of men high In official gov
ernment position or of great fame in
their time in contemporary history.

Capitol who have their lessons letters
proof, can tell the names of these
men without reference to the printed
lists or the printed inscriptions.
When the house cleaning days were
over only a season ago two pictures
were replaced on the walls of the
corridor of the senate. One of them
was a picture of Patrick Henry and
the other was that Of Thomas JEFF
ferson. For weeks the fact that JEFF
ferson's picture has been labeled
Patrick Henry and Patrick Henry's
had been labeled Thomas Jefferson
went undetected. Finally a visitor
noticed the error, called attention to
1t and had the change made.
Perhaps the most striking picture
in the senate corridors is that which
shows Commodore Perry standing in
the row boat to which he went from
his sinking flag ship Lawrence to the
ship Niagara at the battle of Lake
Erie. Perry is pictured erect in the
boat while small boy evidently a
"midship-mite," also standing trying
to pull the Commodore down to q
seat SO that he will be less exposed
to the furious rain of the shot of the
enemy. The boy who is trying to in
duce the commodore to take the nee
essary precaution to save his life was
a nephew of the great sailor and 1t
was he VINO later opened the ports
of Japan to the commerce of the
world. So 1t is that In the painting
are the portraits of two Perrys, both
of whom are famous in the naval an
nails of the United States.

A FIGHT FOR
THE BOX CANYON
The Story Of the Only
Fight Ever Lost by the
Late Hartman.
BY United Press Wire.

New York, March 3l-The story of
a fight for a canyon-the only pass
through which n railroad track might
pass through the Arizona mountains
was told at Yesterdays hearing of
the governments SUIT to dissolve the
Union Pacific Southern Pacific mer-
ger.
II was one fight which T.. II. Harri-
man lost The story was told by r..
G. Ives, general counsel for the
Hartman railroads In Arizona.
In 1Ol he said the Hartman in
terests planned to build railroad
from Mesa, Arizona, to Durango, Col
orado to connect with the coal fields
There was only one way the road
could pass through the mountains
through the Great Gila, or Box can
yon-and then along the north bank
of the ella river.
Before work was done, the Phoenix
and Arizona Railroad company was
incorporated to build n road from
nowhere to nowhere along the south
bank OF the river The Phoenix and
Arizona started to build its harm
less little road on the south side of
the river. But when 1t got within two
miles of the canyons mouth, II threw
"a bridge across the Gila river-and
presto, II commanded the ella canyon
and Hartman could not reach the
coal fields.
Then began the fight. Hartman
rushed surveying squads and grading
camps into the field one road built
from the east toward the west. The
other built from the west toward the
east. When they met they dynamited
rocks into each others camps. Work
ingmen fought Millionaires schemed
and had recourse to THE courts.
The lower courts enjoined Harri-
mans enemies, the Arizona territor-
ial supreme court enjoined Hartman
The matter went to the supreme court
and while II was pending there, Har-
riman, through the Arizona and Eas-
tern, which he organized to build
the ella canyon road, bought out the
Phoenix and Arizona and stopped the
fight 1t cost him $iOOO,000 but he had
the pass, 1t was Harriman's defeat.

TO AMEND THE
lANGDON BILL
Railroads Adopt National
Tactics Before General
Assembly.
BY United Press Wire

Columbus, o., March 31.--Former
state Senator Sam West, representing
the Lake Shore railroad and Robert
Durbin, representing the Baltimore
K Ohio railroad last night appeared
before the taxation committee of the
senate and asked that the Langdon
tax commission bill be amended 60
as to give the public utilities the right
to court review OF the findings OF
the commission on the valuation OF
their property. This Is the same
tactics followed by the railroads in
the national congress when the Hep
burn bill. strengthening the inter-
state commerce commission, was un-
der consideration. The amendment
proposed by the railroads does not
give the private property owner the
same right.
The railroads also submitted an
amendment which would compel the
commission to equalize the valuations
on public utilities as between prop
critics of the same class.
The committee vii have no further
hearings, but will now consider the
bill in executive session.
