TESTIMONY IN The
STREET CAR
ACCIDENT
Probably Never Will Be De
termined What Caused
Explosion.

Probably it will never be determined
what caused the explosion of the con-
troler box on Arizona street car %,
Sunday night, when three passengers
jumped from the car and two of them
were killed and one seriously injured.
Justice McClintock, presiding in his
court Monday afternoon, conducted an
examination of witnesses but did not
determine who was to blame for the
accident.
EIfers Testifies.
E B. Elfers, who was on his way
home, saw the car first at Mesa avenue.
He said: 81 was coming down Kansas
street and saw the car between oregon
street and Mesa avenue, the flames
running along the rail- 1t was travel
ing about Is or 20 miles an hour and
Travelled two blocks while 1 walked hair
a block. Just west of the alley between
Kansas and Stanton streets there was
flash of fire on the rails. which con-
tinued until the rear end of the car
had about crossed the east line or the
alley. Flames burst out and enveloped
the front Of the car, growing in lnten-
sity until the car had crossed Kansas
street.
Just asst was crossing the west line
Of Kansas street, Weldon swung off the
car; he did not jump, but evidently
swung in the wrong direction, lit on ms
feet and pitched over on his face, fall

pay too many taxes. Why does not the
government make exception with him
in that regard, or, perhaps. make spec
ial railroad rates from the interior. For
instance, iron beds may be bought in
the interior more cheaply than in FL
Paso wholesale houses And yet on
account of the high freight tariff it is
necessary for the Mexican merchant to
buy in Ell Paso.
Factories Wanted.
And then the argument continues
LET the government encourage factor
les to come here. Let them build one
to make the uniforms and the shoes
and hats for the army instead of leas-
ing the contracts to rich men who do
not need the money. That would give
Juarez hands a chance to work. Juarez
was nothing under the free zone, little
more than 1t is today. It is industry
that helps the whole people. not few
merchants. OF course the people are
paying more for goods and clothing now
but that is not the cardinal considera-
tion.''
So wags on the merry argument But
the majority of business men of Juarez
perhaps because the majority are
merchants of something/1or otherz-
maintain that the free zone is the only
salvation just now.
But viii the government grant It?

Also, IT is said that two other Juarez
stores are contemplating going out
Of business. This may not be verified
in any way and may be merely the hue
and cry for the free zone. Another
grocery store threatened to close OUT

years since the abolition of the free

the drying up of the waters of the Rio

later the customs duty after SO many
years Of commercial freedom. But
there is another side TO the affair ex-
pressed by some Mexican business men,
like this:
Want Free Zone.
ut is not the free zone we want; IL
is factories, large business houses
something for the 5000 hands Of the
people TO do. Those employed as clerks
in the stores are very few. And they
are paid but little less now than when
We had the free zone. ST only is the
merchant who suffers, but he would not
remain in business if his family were
hungry and if he made no profit.
