IS
RAPIDLY LOSING
HIS STRENGTH
INJURED MASTER MECHANIC OF
EXTENSION Is IN CRITICAL
CONDITION.

The condition of Arthur Pear
son, master mechanic at Tonopah
Extension, who was painfully burn
ed by a gasoline explosion at the
mill several nights ago, is regarded
as very serious, and it is doubtful
if the injured man will survive the
day. At midnight it was reported
at the hospital that he was rapidly
losing strength, although he retain
ed consciousness and was able to
recognize all callers. 4 dispatch
was sent yesterday, when it became
apparent that he was steadily grow
ing worse, to his wife at Oakland,
where she is staying with their
five young children. Mrs. Pearson
Immediately answered that she
would arrive today.
1t is believed that should Pear
son fail to recover a post norton
examination will reveal that his de-
mise was caused by inhaling a
quantity of flames, which in the ma
jority of cases always prove fatal.

MRS HARMA.
PASSES AWAY At
Los ANGELES
SUCCUMBS YESTERDAY AFTER
SUFFERING PARALYTIC
STROKE.

Mrs. Frank Myers yesterday re-
ceived a telegram announcing the
death of Mrs. E. Harma, who passed
away at 10 O'Clock in the morning
in a Los Angeles hospital, where
she had been confined for a week,
suffering from complete stroke of
paralysis. Mrs. Harma, it will be
remembered, was stricken willie
nursing her husband, who was re-
moved to southern California, so
that he could secure the services of
specialists in skin grating, having
been severely burned by an oil ex-
plosion.
The physician who attended the
unfortunate woman announced that
the stroke was due to the relaxa-
ton of nerves, having been con-
slant in looking after the comfort
of her husband for several months.
She remained in a state of coma
from the day she suffered the at
tack, and was unable to speak a
word. Last Thursday her daugh-
ter, Bannie, left for her bedside
and at that time her condition was
not thought to be critical The
best of medical treatment was af-
forded for her relief but to no
avail
The deceased is survived by her
husband, a daughter and a son.
The son is at present in this city.
The remains, it is believed, will be
brought back to Tonopah for in
terment.
Mrs, Harma had many friends
in this city and had resided here
for a number of years. She is a
member of the Fraternal Brother
hood and it is possible that the
funeral will be held under the aus
pices OF this order.

Proutys victory over Hull is mat
ter for universal congratulation over
iowa. Even those who are opposed
to progression can not fail TO admire
the nerve and vigor with which Prouty
has waged the fight for the chance to
represent in Washington the actual
political sentiment of his district. II
has been a battle against great odds.
Hull appealed effectively to local ac-
quisitiveness, he delivered the goods
year after year, and army post today
the promise of big money to be spent
next year. Behind him was the re-
sources Of the committee and there are
hints Of resources not so plainly in
sight Year after year Prouty sought
him and took a fall. When he was
thrown and hurt all anyone knew was
that he had been thrown. He nursed
his own hurts if he felt any. alone
and in secret. He never asked anyone
else to sit up nights with him. But
best of all Prouty has never deviated
in the slightest degree from the line of
political principle and profession to
catch votes. His victory is less per-
sonal than progressive-and it is ar
overwhelming personal victory at that.

consistency Frank Prouty is the limit.
He will be a congressional leader He

IHE MISUNDERSTANDING.

Whatever Of opposition has existed

judgment. from q misunderstanding as
to what has been going on at Wash
ington and as to conditions there.
From the time of my return, at the
end of three or four weeks i expect
to devote my time TO making the sit
uotion clear to the people, and feel
evry confident that the differences in
the republican party in this district
will be fully healed before November.
Whatever of opposition has existed
has arisen from misunderstanding
not as to what has been going on at
Washington but as TO what the repub-
licans of Iowa wanted to go on there.
The above telegram extends a ray of
votes under conditions so overwhelm-
ingly in his favor at the start may
have carried its message. If one-haIf
of the republican party Of this state
and district is to be represented only
there will always be serious trouble at
the primaries. Sometimes it may be
one half that wins and at another time
it may be the other half. If it is now
intended that both halves are to be
fairly represented ond that the word of
a majority in congress spoken by the
boss ridden states of the east Will not
always silence the voice of Iowa il
will. of course, help some at the No

It is well that the fight between the
government and the railroads over pro-
posed increases Of freight rates has
been brought TO truce
The way matters now stand the rail-
roads are 10 withdraw all advanced
rates and not attempt 10 establish any
increases until the pending legislation
affecting the subjects gets thru con-
gress. This in effect automatically dis
poses of the governments injunction
suit.
This pending legislation will include
a provision that rate increase may
be held up by the interstate commerce
commission for ten months for inves-
tigation as to whether they are war
ranted A better provision would be
to make it the law that increased
rates could not become effective at all
without the advance approval Of the
commission. It is our understands
that only in case Of complaint will the
increased rate De held up. Perhaps.
tho, complaint will quickly ensue in
all important cases
A less promising feature Of the mat
ter is the possibility that the commits
sion will get swamped and be unable
to reach all complaint within the ten
months limit. with the result that in
creases will az the end Of such period
60 into effect with approval
II is well, we say, that truce has
been arranged. In the pending bill the
clause affecting rate increases should
be regarded as urgent and should
take effect at once, as recommended
by President Taft. But what then
VIII the railroads take all this as a
matter Of form, and possibly as an
matter of form, and possibly as an
invitation TO come on with their in
creased rates, The event will very
likely indicate something Of the sort.
AS soon as the present truce ends on
the passage of the pending measure,
a general advance in rates will be pro-
posed Complaint will ensue, and the
interstate commerce commission will
have on its hands the job of its whole
career. And while the commission
works and sweats the clock will tick on
ard the railroads, playing a waiting
game. will come out on top by sheer
default at the end of the suspension
period
Doesn't It look something like that
Wouldn't II have been much better to
do as Senator Cummins- wished and
make rate increases absolutely depend
ent upon the approval of the commits
sion?
