 Great Bonded Debt Piled 5 Up By Railroads DECLARES MR. DoLlIvtR.
Spirited Debate in Which
 Senator Root Joined, On Traffic Agreement Pro- vision. of Administration Railroad Bill

Washington. April With Senator ! Deliver criticising in pointed westerr
 phraseology the Crawford- Elkins
 amendment to the traffic agreement l provision of the railroad bill. and Sen 1 ator Root supporting the same provi-
 sion in a careful legal argument, the 1 senate today was the scene of an in- teresting debate.
 The Iowa senater showed resentment al the interference of the administra : | ton in the proposed legislation. while Mir. Root said that the experience of the executive branch of the government had satisfied, it of the necessity for for such legislation.
 At the close of the debate Senator Elkins made an effort to secure an agreement for d vote ten days hence, but failed because of the object O. Senator LaFollette. who said the sen ate had not yet had opportunity to scrutinize closely more than half the bill
 Declaring the obligations of the rail- roads to be in reality a part of tine public debt. Mir. Deliver said that with in the last few years right under ths. nose of congress. in the midst of the Roosevelt era. liabilities had been contracted by railroads exceeding by two billion dollars the public debt which the country found saddled upon it at tte close of the civil war. anG which our children will have to pay after We are dead"
 These debts had been contracted. he said. by irresponsible railroad men to permit the hsrmonizing of their inter ests without adding one dollars worth to the railroad facilities. He was sat isfied that whatever was done. the government should keep its eye on and control the actions of the rail roads. He was Of the opinion that thr pending bin would paralyzc the present control. Tracing the history of the traffic agreement scheme" NIT. Dolli- yer asserted that in effect ]; was mere renewal of the pooling srstcm O. the past.
 Replying to Mir. Deliver. Mr. Root said he though Mir. Deliver had been led into some extravaganza. He did not think. for instance. that the Amer ican people were on the road to slavery Regarding the traffic agreement provi sion. Mir. Root said as it stands it ac- complishes in practical and effective way the thing which Mir Dolliyer had declared desirable. He concluded with the assertion that the Crawford pro- vision is practicable and should be enacted.
 In few words Mir. Clapp attacked tue position of Mir. Root as in con s.. I. had argued that the Cummins amend Juent. requiring the passing on rates in advance would nullify the effect of the provision, while in the next he had confended that this result would be practically accomplished if the Craw- ford Elkins provisions became law.

 an Attache Wounded.

Canon City. Colo. April 1.-Two and d guard were wounded in des- perste attempt by the prisoners to es- cape from the state penitentiary to- night. The dead are Harry Brophy and Andrew Johnson. The wounded are John Bradley. w. J. Williams and tie cell house keeper EInery.
 When Emery threw open the lever ,f the cell house to admit the prison orchestra at s:30 tonight. Brophy. who had filed key to his cell. jwhped into the corridor. drew revolver which he had concealed in his blankets and shot Emery in the leg. disabling him. Brophy then unlocked Johnson. Brad Icy. Williams and John Miller with his improvised key. They then broke out one of the bars of window that had been sawed nearly through and using Emery's body as q shield, Bropiiy and Williams forced their way into the prison yard
 They were seen and challenged by . guard on the walls and Brophy an swered by d fusilade of bullets. The guard returned the fire. shooting Bro- phy through the head. Johnson who attempted to follow Williams and Brophy through the window was shot anu killed by another guard.
 Williams. in the meantime. had reached the shelter of the walls aud

 It was not ascertained how Bradley was hurt. Miller was found unhurt in the cell house and was locked up. Br"phy evidently planned the attack some time ago. as the key with which he opened the cells was of intricate design and must have taken many ','eks to make.

THE WORST THING
 SINCE THE CIVIL WAR
HAS HAPPENED TO THE SUNNY
 SOUTH.
Ravages of the Related Winter. Have
 Laid Waste Cotton Fields.

Atlanta. April 25.-With millions of acres of young cotton destroyed by the cold weather. which today over spread the entire cotton belt. with the unusual appearance in many sections by snow and sleet, the south has sui fered the most disastrous financial setback. perhaps since the civil war
 Reports received tonight indicate that the cold snap has not abated in Georgia South Carolina. Tennessee. northern Alabama. Louisiana. Missis- Sippi and even further west. and for much O: this territory heavy frost and freezing temperatures are predicted for Tuesday morning.
 In Atlanta and throughout the northern half of Georgia. except near the Atlantic. the thermometer has been below 40 degrees above zero all day with falling temperatures recorded tonight.
 Snow fell as far south as Selma. Alabama Columbus. Miss. and Col umbus. Ga In northern Georgia. Ten nessee and parts of Alabama and Mis- sissippi the fall ranged from one to four inches.
 Cotton seed oil mills in this state for seed for re-planting and the state officials have implored the mills to crush no more seed until the farmers have been supplied. It is doubtful whether sufficient seed to re-plant on' half the area of young cotton de- stroyed by cold can be secured.

 <gs 9e ff .Acquita| of Defendants h C0Conino's Murder Case VERDICT QUICKLY FOUNO|
There Were Two Defenses, One An Alibi and Other Denial That Territory Had Shown Murder Had Been Committed

Flagstaff. April 25.-t SpecialD- What may in many respects be term ed the most sensational murder trial in the history of Arizona came to an abrupt ending this evening when after but two hours deliberation the jury case of former Arizona Ranger Her bert F.. Wood and eX United States Forest Ranger Reuben l.. Neill. charg- ed with the murder of F.. P. Schwartz. the detective who mysterioUsly disap- pcared from this vicinity a year ago.
 Speculation has been rife as to the outcome of the trial but it was ,gener ally conceded that the defense had put up an unusually strong ease, fo,- lowing which both Attorneys Ling and Jones made masterfgl pleas to the jury
 Judge Doe theh charged the jury and the twelve good men and true filed out The court house was soon cmptied and few were present when the fury unexpectedly returned. The mothers of Neill and Woods who had remained constantly at the side of their boys during the long days of the trial. hoping and praying that their sons might he acquitted. had their prayers answered when the jury filed in and made known its verdict. It is expected that they will merely be placed under bonds in connection with the Stevens affair The young men. still in the prime or life were greeted on all sides m leaving the court room. Whil" the case against the rangers appeared strong in some respects. in main points the accusations were mainly on crcumstantial evidence. The quickness with which the verdict was reached proved conciusiVely that the jury vas unanimously against conviction under such circumstances. The case throughout was one of sen sdtipnal features and unusual circum- stanccs. The fact that a former ter ritoria ranger and a United States forest ranger were being tried and that a former lieutenant of the rang CTS Was testifying against them brought Nidid "reminiscences Q: the old days when Arizona rangers held forth This coupled with the fact that some of the best legal talent in the territory was involved and most of the peace officers in northern Arizona were con nected in some way with the trial made the case unprecedented. in the history of Arizona.

WHY THE FORMER ARE HIGH
 IN PRICE.
Explanation of the Low Price of the
 Latter.

Washington. April 25.-Why pork chops and pork roasts cost more now than two. three and four years ago. was the subject of expert testimony given at the senate food probe today.
 by Peter W. Peterson. of Clay county. South Dakota. Peterson said he sold hogs at prices ranging from s4.J0 per 100 pounds in 1900 to s6.50 in 1909 The price then jumped to S9.se as the average from January 1, to this week
 Corn. a product on which hogs are
 chiefly fattened. averaged 5Sis cents
 bushel in 1908. and 56I. cents in 1909. in comparison with from s cents to 70 cents Several years ago. Now" said Peterson. pork is high because there are not enough hogs to supply the demand. and corn is low because there are not enough hogs to eat the supply"
 Peterson showed that the average wage paid farm hands had almost doubles in ten years.
 While things needed cost more. he said. he was making good profits and did not feel the 1s07 panic at all.
