IN HE Hamburgers Buyers associa-
tion held their annual meeting
\ Thursday evening, and although
the purpose of the organization is not
social, postponed business cares to en-
joy a banquet in the Hamburger cafe,
given in honor of the retiring president,
c. e. Adams.
officers for 1910 were elected after
the banquet, W. c. Heffelfinger being
chosen president; A. L. johnson, first
vice president; w. o. Tolliver, second
vice president; J. Dreyfuss, third vice
president, and II. Nj. Snodgrass, secre-
tary.
w. E. Chamberlain, assistant presi-
dent of the store, who attended as a
guest of honor, spoke, after the ban
quet on THE Policies of A. Ham
burger & Sons for 1910"
The president elect, w. c. Heffel-
finger, in a talk on "Co-operation," en-
deavored to impress on his hearers that
the future progress of the store de-
pended on the united effort of the
buyers, who, in any other line of busi-
ness than that of conducting a great
department store, would be directors,
rather than buyers. Mr.. Heffeltinger
also complimented the buyers on the
efficiency with which they had served
the public during the past year, at
tributing it to the influence OF the
buyers association in creating a spirit
of fraternalism among it's members.
A. L. Johnson introduced the most
important topic of the evening in his
discussion of How to Get Business"
The banquet was attended by the full
membership of the association, and
also by several members of the di-
rectorate of the store, who were spe-
cially invited.

DOUBLE TRACKS
OVER TEhACHAPl
SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS TO
IMPROVE ROAD
PROJECT CONSIDERED NECEs-
SARY FOR TRAFFIC
Two Companies Using the Stretch Of
Rails Between MojaVe and
Bakersfield Cause of
Much Delay

Officials of the Southern Pacific rail-
road say that plans are being formu-
lated, although no definite announce
ment will yet be made, for the double
tracking of their road over the Te-
hachapi pass. While the project has
not been officially passed upon, it is
intimated there is little doubt of it
being done within the next year. This
project is deemed an important one
because of traffic coalition between
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The Southern Pacific now has joint
track arrangement with the Santa Fe
railroad between Bakersfield and Mo-
jave and at this time of year, when
citrus fruit and other shipments are
extremely heavy and floods in other
sections of the country frequently i'm
pose an extra burden on the 5. p. lines
i'm California, the use of one track by
the two companies, both of which do
a large transcontinental business, is
seriously embarrassing.
The double track system is believed
by operatives of the two lines to be
Indispensable, at least over the pass.
An expenditure of several hundred
thousand dollars, it is believed, will be
necessary, owing to the peculiar topo-
graphy of the Tehachapi region, and
many grades passes, tunnels and tres
ties will have to be doubled or widened,
which of course viii necessitate care
full consideration before a definite de-
cision is reached.

CLAWS SCORED
BY CUNNINGHAM
FALSE PRETENSES CHARGED
TO FORMER LAND AGENT
WITNESS DENIES GUGGENHEIMS
EVER ADVANCED MONEY
Says All Options They Claimed Were
Merely Provisional and Have
Never Been Rati-
fled
Associated Pressl

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 11.-A
bitter attack on Louis r. CLAWS by
Clarence Cunningham was the feature
of today's inquiry by United States
Commissioner William j. MCGEE into
the so-called Cunningham coal claims
in Alaska.
Mr.. Cunningham was on the witness
stand all day, and, under direct eX-
animation by the attorney for the
claimants, charged the former land
agent with having trapped him into
signing an affidavit under 1alse pre-
lenses. and of having pretended
desire TO have the Cunningham entries
cleared for patent when he was really
endeavoring to have them declared
fraudulent.
The affidavit in question has figured
prominently in the Ballinger- Pinchot
inquiry, and was the basis of dis
cussion of the perjury statutes in the
congressional committee in Washlng-
ton today. In it Cunningham denies
in detail that the Guggenheim syndl-
cate was directly or indirectly inter
ested in the thirty-three claims which
he located. and which, it is now con-
tended by the government, are traudu-
lent.
Cunningham asserted that the ath-
davit was dictated, word by word, by
CLAWS, who induced him to sign it on
the understanding that it was solely
for the purpose of securing patents.
The witness also asserted that CLAWS
had assured him that the claims in
which he was interested were perfectly
sound. and that he personally would 90
everything he could to have them
passed by the land office.
Under close examination Cunningham
reiterated his declaration that at no
time did the Guggenheims ever ad-
vance any money in the interest of
the entrants, and that they had never
had any interest whatever IN the
claims which he located. He explained
that the options which they claimed to
hold had been merely provisional and
had never been ratified.
Cunningham will be placed under
cross examination tomorrow morning
hv at+ornevs for the government. This
probably viii bring the inquiry here to
a close.

WANT APPROPRIATION BACK

Lieut.. Charles I. Leeds United States
district engineer, received a letter yes
terday from J. H. Shanssey, chairman
of the board of supervisors and mayor
of Yuma, asking Lieutenant Leeds to
aid the board in inducing the govern
ment to make good the amount Of
$1,000 which the board subscribed to aid
IL elevating the government levee last
year, built to protect the town from
the high waters of the Colorado river
The board took the step because the
supervisors and their bondsmen were
sued by the county to recover the
money. which the county maintains
the board had no right to so appro-
pirate Lieutenant Leeds stated that
the proper way would be for the coun-
ty to appeal to it's representative in
congress to have that body reimburse
the people for their expenditure.

LOST IN sALToN SEA

smoking car. While the train was
moving at slow rate of speed and
his captors were not looking he dived
through an open window and disap-
peared. The Southern Pacific company
has several special officers out looking
for the man.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC COAST
LINE SERVICE SUFFERS

The Southern Pacific company de-
spite announcements. has not been
able to open its coast line to San Fran
cisco, which for two weeks has been
blockaded by a cave-in at Santa Mar
euerita tunnel. 1t is expected, how
ever, through service will be resumed
Sunday at the latest, as reports from
the Santa Marguerite pass indicate
the completion of the repairs. Owing
to this blockade, there has been an
unprecedented congestion of traffic, and
the valley route, via Fresno, as well as
the southwestern transcontinental
lines, have been seriously affected, due
in a large measure to the simultaneous
tie-up Of the Ogden route and the Salt
Lake road through Meadow valley.

SOBS STORY AS SHE FACES
HER HUSBAND
WOMAN RLAMEs LIQUOR FOR DE-
STRUcTloN OF HOME
Court Room Drama Ends with Mans
Pledge to Reform, and the
Judge Gives Him An-
other Chance

One of the most patehtic scenes en-
acted in Justice Summerheld's S court
in a long time occurred yesterday when
Mrs. Madge Evans, perfect type OIL
true womanhood with a heart as Dig
as the world and as true as steel re-
lated the facts concerning the alleged
abandonment of her bv her husband,
Robert E. Evans, an artist, whose pre-
liminary hearing on the charge was
in progress.
With tears in her eyes and dis
play of undying lection for her nus
band, she said he left her last Satur-
day night, pcnniless and entirely des-
titute. She stated that she had lived
with friends and neighbors since he
left her.
"He came home last Saturday night
intoxicated and said that he had de-
tectives watchin- me for two days,
and that he had found out that l was
untrue to him and that l was not
right" said Mrs. Evans. Il told him
that he did not feel well and said.
Bob, after you have something to eat
you will feel better and feel sorry for
what you are accusing me OF. lie re-
piled that he didn't want any dinner
and that. he wa going to leave me.
With that he packed up his paints,
brushes and belongings and left the
house. If he would only leave liquor
alone he would be all right, but he
doesn't. l have talked with him time
and again and he would promise me
that he would reform. and then he
would start in drinking again.
Before she finished her story she
broke down and wept bitterly.
Sweetheart, you wouldn't send me
over the road, would youY' asked
Evans when she took IA seat beside
him after leaving the stand.
Bob, l can't live with you the way
you treat me-" replied Mrs. Evans, and
she began to cry.
wouldn't you, Hun" asked the hus-
band.
"Yes, Bob, but you WON'T replied the
wife.
While on the illness stand Evans
asked her several questions.
"Wasnt 1 always kind to your"
"Yes"
wasn't I always a gentleman while
] was not under the influence Of
liquor?"
my overcoat to get money to buy food
with?" asked Evans.
Eyes, replied the complaining wit
Judge. it's all my fault said
Evans. as he turned toward Justice
Summerheld. Don't blame the girl,
she's the finest little woman in the
world. Give me a chance to do right.
I know / have done wrong and have
drank too much, but give me chance
and I'll do the right thing. / have
had a lot of discouragement lately.
After I sold by overcoat I caught a
severe cold and later broke my arm
and was unable TO do any work for
long time. Give me n chance and if
l ever enter a saloon again in my life
or take another drink or treat that
little girl mean I will go to the peni-
tentiary for life
When told by the court that if he
ever took another drink Of liquor he
would be sent to the penitentiary,
Evans covered his face with his hands
and cried like a child He was placed
on probation for sixty days and the
charge against him will be held in
abeyance during that time.

THE REALLY SIMPLE LIFE.

Speaking of the simple life, what in that line can exceed, that which is the rule among the Indiana Dunkards? The most of us sophisticated people who theOrize now and then about the desirability of freeing ourselves from complicated and hampering conditions of civilization, have no notOn of doing without modern Improvements" Our simple life will include good many of the comforts and not a few of the luxuries of existence, and whatever We do we mean to cling to every fin ancial advantage we may possess.
 But here are the Dunkards of the Wabash solemnly discussing the ques- tion as to whether they may properly use telephones or automobiles and whether they may be permitted to carry fire and life insurance and reaching no definite conclusion on any of these matters, though the weight of opinion is distinctly against the auto mobile as a worldly element in marked antagonism to the simplicity they wish to cultivate. It seems likely that in this respect they are right, and to accept the machine would be to admit a host of other things that seem inseparable from it-eVen the joy ride-and that they would soon say farewell to the simple life. They would repeat the story of the Arab who unwisely allowed the camel to put his nose in the tent and presently the animal inserted his body and had entire possession.
 The automobile is yet a luxury not a necessity. and people not Dun kards can contemplate with serenity doing without it for the rest of their natural lives, but to do without the telephone-that is a different propOsi- tion To consider it seriously seems like going back a thousand years, so essential has the instrument become to those who have had it in the twenty five of thirty years since it was invented. The idea that to take out insurance is to take undue liber- ties with Providence is another reve- lation of what the simple life means to simple minded people We may respect their scruples and their point of view, but few of us could join them in their simplicity What We really have in mind when we talk yearning ly of the simple life is that of escape from our obligations to people, not the burden of our material posses Star.

 WAS IN PROGRESS
Three Policemen Hasten to Scene Of Family Row on Fourteenth
 Avenue.

Through misunderstanding of a call sent in from the scene of fam fly row in SoutR Fourteenth avenue, last evening. it appeared that Police man Ludlam was in a bad fix and needed assistance. In reality he only needed conveyance to bring his pris oner to the city jail Because of the misunderstanding Captain Connors and Policeman Fraley made a quick run to the home of Thomas Donohue, only to find Policeman Ludlam in complete control of the situation and everything as lovely as the flowers in May
 According to the neighbors, Donohue came home drunk and became engaged in an altC-cation with his wife. Some say that he attacked her and that she used a stick of wood effectively upon Donohue's head in protecting herself Donohue was landed in the city jail without further incident and q charge of drunk and disorderly lodged against him.

OVERHAULING ENTIRE
 FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Fire Chief Sullivan Is Placing Wires
 in First Class Condition.

Fire Chief Sullivan is pretty busy man these days. Since he took active charge of the Phoenix Fire Depart ment on June l he has undertaken a complete overnauling of the boxes and wires of the fire alarm system and is making excellent progress. Chief Sul- liVan says that he is surprised at the efficiency of the alarm system cOnsid- ering the condition in which he has found the wires. Telephone wires have been found rubbing against the alarm wires and in some instances Chief Sullivan says he has found electric light wires in contact with his wires, the insulation being almost worn off. That there has been less trouble he considers remarkable.
 A new wire is being strung to the city pumping plant and a gong will be installed there relieving the necessity or the engineer there depending upon the bell alarm for notice to turn on the power. In a short time it is eN- pected that a large, new siren whistle will be installed at the pumping plant with which an alarm can be sounded which may be heard all over the city.
 A shipment of new hose vas receiV- ed yesterday consisting of 95O feet or nineteen lengths of the best hose ob- tainable with all necessary couplings. This hose was received from the Gutta Percha and Rubber Manufacturing

SUSPICIOUS REOPEN|NG
 OF ADAMS PHARMACY
Large Crowds Visit New Home of the
 Always Popular Drug Store.

The new Adams pharmacy was suspicious conditions. From early morning until closing time there was a continuous stream of visitors to the latest addition to the leading business establishments of Phoenix and there was quite as continuous a stream of favorable comments heard from every one whose business or other inclina- tions took him or her within the doors of this up-tO-date drug store.
 The new combination ice. and ice less soda fountain was working su perbly and at times despite the acti- witty of the corps of beverage dispens- CTS the capacity of the thirst quenching department was sOrely taxed. And the drinks served were certainly a revela- tion to those who were fortunate enough to be present and pa-take.
 Last evening the concert given by the Industrial Liberty band from the piazza of the Craig building, in which the Adams pharmacy is located, at tracted one of the largest crowds seen in Phoenix in some time The walks were crowded, the streets were lined with automobiles and carriages and across the road in the school yard were hundreds who were unable to make their way through the crush and who were obliged to content themselves with listening to the music. In every respect the opening. or rather the re- opening. of the Adams pharmacy was a signal success.
