PRAY for Trains

Towns ON HOrtOn-FairbIry Branch
Pray for Trains.
Sabetha, Kan, April 1S.-The peo-
pie on the Horton-Fairbury branch of
the Rock Island feel that they are not
being given sufficient passenger train
service. They like the Rock Island
road and want to be given the privi-
lego of riding over it more. There is
only one passenger train each way dali
ly. The people are asking that a
morning eastbound passenger or mo-
tor car to return in the evening be
put in operation The commercial
clubs in most of the towns along the
line have repeatedly requested that
the service be installed, but the as
sistant passenger agent says he will
not recommend such a motor or train
because it will not pay. The people
feel that if the service would be or
dered as q six months experiment
that the Rock Island would find Suff1-
cient business to warrant continu-
ance.

she made good. The duet by Miss Clara Merck and MT. Fred Lancaster was another big hit of the show. MT. Lancaster's voice since coming to Phoenix has not been up to the stand ard, but Dr. Redewill, who is treating him, says he will have 1t in fine shape in a day or two. The costumes in this bill are all brand new and very ef- fectiye.
 The comedy as handed out by those eccentric comedians, Willis West and Jimmie ,Bee. was great. and the good humored audience hardly lost minute after the fun began. The chorus in their pretty new costumes backed up the good work of the principals by snappy singing and dancing.

OWNERSHIP ADVOCATES
 BEGIN 10 ORGANIZE
A COMMITTEE OF SEVEN WAS
 APPOINTED.
Attorney Howard Complains of the
 Size of His.EIeetrie Light Bills.

Steps toward permanent organiza- tion were taken last night at mass meeting held in Fireman's hall in the interest of the propaganda for mu- nicipal electric light plant A commit tee of Seven was appointed. which will report tonight at the same place and make recommendations for officers and general plans.
 The committee appointed by C. H. Davidson, temporary chairman, con- sists of J. NJ Shott. c. H. Akers. C. H. Pratt, Charles Goldman, John Long, Henry Ryder. and J. H. Langston.
 There was an attendance of about one hundred. A number of talks were made and the many phases of the sub- ject were discussed.
 C. H. Davidson recited the general history of the fight for municipal con- trol of The water system. He was followed by J. NJ Shotf. who expressed himself as thoroughly in favor of the plan for acquiring an electric plant as. in fact, did all the others. One of the most interesting talks of the evening was made by Attorney Howard He referred again in most endearing terms to his electric bills. which he cherishes and preserves as I.souvenirs.
 q have a modest little seven7 7room cottage" said Mir. Howard. "and for two consecutive months my electric light bill--to say nothing Of the gas bill-was $s. And this in spite of the fact that I had taken the trouble to put in two candle power globes instead of the eights and sixteens l had for merly used. But even with all this economy my bills were still enormous and the service poor till this move ment for municipal ownership got fairly started and then I noticed a small reduction in the bills. l have never lived in a city in which my light bills Amounted to one,half what they do here. There must be some thing the matter. Now 1 don't say it. is the meters-they run on Inerrily like a mountain brook, but they do that everywhere-but there is some thing the matter somewhere and no logic. no argument can put me in complaisant frame of mind when have an ss light bill staring me in the face.
  ment in a spirit of malice; we are not going to use any underhanded means to win: we are not going to buy newspaper space to influence the public. We are simply working for our own interests just as the electric light people are fQr theirs.
 Il arrived at this idea of munich pal ownership slowly and with consid- erable reluctance. If one had asked me six months ago If believed in the principal of municipal ownership as applied to gas and electricity. I should probably have said No I have been convinced by conditions. cannot see why we should pay a company seven times what they pay the government for so much electricity. Let's go to Uncle Sam and get it first hand"

 q said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no cof- fee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were con- vinced that coffee caused his suffer- ing. so he returned to Postum. con- vinced that coffee was an enemy. in- stead of a friend. and he Is troubled no more by insomnia.

DENIED
 IN CAsE 1. B. ADAMS
There Was No Evidence Submitted That the Laws of California
 Had Been Broken.

Governor R. E. Sloan yesterday held a hearing in the matter of the requi- sition issued by the governor of Cali fornia for the extradition of Louis B. Adams. who is charged with having stolen his own 9-year-old son from the custody of the boys grandmother. Mrs. Kimball, in San Francisco. to whose care it was alleged the boy had been committed by an order of the court. The application was denied.
 The ground of the denial was that though the complaint had been sworn to by Mrs. Kimball as the guardian of the boy, the papers presented showed that her appointment to that office of responsibility was dated February 3. while the alleged stealing of the child was on January 26, and that before Mrs Kimball had been appointed guardian, Adams was outside the jurisdiction Of the state. Being the father of the boy he was presumed to have as good a right to his possess sion at that time as anybody. More over, while letters of guardianship were presented there was nothing to show that any order of the court had ever been issued giving Mrs. Kimball custody of the boy.
 The defendant is, or was, in custody in Tucson. though out on bail. together with his son, his secretary and nurse The party was expected here yesterday to attend the hearing. but it was later decided that their presence would be unnecessary and they remained in Tue son pending the result. Adams is a New York capitalist who has had some disagreement with his wife. who went to San Francisco with the children. After following and securing the boy he started east, being fpprehepded in
