MAY CD To
p. LObOS
Frank Murphy to Build the
Mexican Connection From
Tucson, Arizona.
EXTENSION TO
TUCSON CERTAIN

That the Southwestern means to build
TO Tucson. Arizona, seems a certainty,
judging from the letter of president
Douglas to the mayor of that city. 1t
also looks as if the proposed line from
Port LObos. Mexico, TO Tucson, might
also be built. 1t is now talked in Tue
son that this line is to give the South
western, and incidentally the Rock
Island, that much coveted outlet TO the
Pacific-Port LObos being a Mexican
Pacific coast point in the Gulf of Cali
fornia.
Frank Murphy is behind the Port Lo-
Dos road, and, as he has a grudge
against the S. p, just about as we'll
developed as the Southwestern people
are supposed to have, there is every
reason TO believe that he will take de-
light in helping to give the Rock Island
an opposition entrance to the Pacific.
Following letter has been received
by the mayor of Tucson from DR.. James
Douglas:
New York, April %, 1910.

Murphy'S Letter.
Frank Murphy writes as follows:

Hon. P. Jacobus
Mayor of Tucson,
Tucson, Arizona.
Thanks to your letter of the twenty

Should Take Initiative.
Washington, May 9-Will Mr. Lori
mer rise IN his place in the senate and
demand an investigation? Members Of
the Illinois congressional delegation
are hoping against hope that he will.
They do not expect him to do so. They
believe that when he returns to wash
ington he will make make no Official
the legislature which are shock and
a disgrace to their state.
If Mr.. Lorimer will take the initiative
he can relieve his colleagues In con-
gress of keen embarrassment. A re-
quest from him that the charges of
bribery be Investigated and demand
that he be vindicateds and all suspicion
removed Of having had any part In or
knowledge Of the corruption alleged to
have been practised in his behalf will
at once precipitate an Investigation by
the senate committee on privileges and
elections.
When question was raised concern
ing the methods used to secure his
election. Senator. Clark of Montana re-
signed and went before his legislature
for vindication. which was given In an
election free of all suspicion OF i'm
proper methods. 1t is not asked by Mr..
Lorimer's associates that he resign,
but they insist that the fair name OF
Illinois requires that a searching In
quiry be- made to determine his right
to hold a seat In the senate.
A new question has arisen in con-
nection with the case which may force
a congressiona investigation without
waiting for Mr.. Lorimer to inititae 1t.
If the disclosures at Chicago continue
and it becomes apparent that enough
members of the legislature We're bribed
to effect Mr.. Lorimer's election the
committee on privileges and election
may take cognizance of the case and
upon it's own motion direct an investt-

RIVER TRADE REVOLUTION.
New Type Of Mississippi Craft il
Event Of six.Foot Channel.

Burlington, May 9.-With the pro-
ject Of a six foot channel on the upper
Mississippi river from st. Paul to st,
Louis fully inaugurated,t there promises
to be considerable experime enting along
the line of bringing out Z new type OF
river craft acceptable to the steamboat
Yn6ia ana tb5 the river engineers.
BY an appropriation carried IN the
rivers ana harbors bill which is about
to be passed by congress, $500, 900 is set
aside for developing a new type OF
steamboat for the Mississippi and its
tributaries.
The Mississippi river commission,
which has charge of the river south
Of the Ohio river. will be in charge Of
this work, and the bill provides for. the
manner in which the money is to be
spent.
These boats. or rather the models, are
to be perfected by the commission with
two ends in view. zone Is the naviga-
ton of the rivers of the middle west,
and the other is the facility for hand
ling freight.
1t is taken by rivermen and boat
builders that this means that the river
trade is to be revolutionized.

None of the members Of the cabinet

none Of the leaders Of the Unionists,

who said today:
"We can do nothing at present We
are waiting the governments long
promised measures of social reform.
The kings death will delay our de-
mands upon the government at least
six and probably twelve months, but
we will insist upon its promises being
fulfilled eventually. The Labor party
in England had great hopes in King
Edward, who knew and understood the
English people and anticipated their
intentions.
King George is an unknown guam
tity in the situation. Still, SO far as the
Labor party is concerned the constitu-
tional struggle will be suspended. We
are a democratic party, not republi-
can.
''The only question in dispute is the
relative power of the house of COM
mons and the house of lords, but the
Laborites do not care to force the issue
just now. Probably year hence this
will be the only question the people
will be asked to decide at the general
election.
"Owing to the death of King Ed
ward the veto question will remain in
abeyance. No member of the Labor
party attacks the monarchy. It is
improbable King George will be called
on to exercise the royal prerogative OF
settling the dispute between the lords
and the commons by any action precip-
itated by the Laborites. In order not
to make difficulty for the government
we will postpone our efforts to force
action on the questions of unemploy-
ment and social insurance"
