1t is the belief of the management
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe system that much of the antip-
athy OF the public TO railroads is the
product of d misunderstanding, which
the road proposes to remove or re-
duce. Last fall it sent out the liar
mony Special over its lines, manned
by officers Of the road, who stopped
at as many points as possible, saw
as many people as they could and
told them as much as their limited
time would allow about the railroad
business. The knowledge of a very
large majority of the people concern
ing railroads is limited to matters
of freight and passenger rates, which
are commonly supposed to be based
on the ability of the public to pay.
The railroads have not until recent
years taken pains to inform the pub
lie that they have problems and
troubles of their own.
The next Santa Fe course in the
education OF the people regarding
railroading is what may be called
a comparison train" which will
shortly be sent out from Topeka and
will traverse all the main lines of
the system. It will be designed to
show the great advance made by the
railroads within a generation.
The train will include the follow
ing:
A Maliet locomotive of the latest
type. built for hauling heavy freight
trains.
y locomotive of the type in use
thirty years ago.
A steel passenger coach Of the latest
type.
A wood framed passenger coach
used in the sos.
4 new style Of freight car. such
as is used for the shipment of auto
mobiles.
An old-faShiOned box car.
a flat car for exhibition purposes,
showing old and new style switches,
couplers, brakes. etc.

The Los Angeles Express calls upon
President Taft to relieve the re-
publican party OF embarrassment by
declining Immediately to be a can
didate in 1912. Perhaps the president
has not yet been apprised of the
wishes Of the Express. AT any rate.
there has been no authoritative an
nouncement from the White House to
the effect that the name of Taft will
not be presented to the 1872 conven-
ton.

ords have been broken and practically
s5OO,OOo,O0O worth of that staple has
been exported.
But it was the considerable value of
this import that induced the United
States department of agriculture sew
eral years ago to endeavor to develop
Egyptian cotton culture in the United
States in order to supply our own
market with a homegrown product.
Although experiments were made
at different points from South Caro-
lima to Texas, as well as in Western
Texas. New Mexico, Arizona and
Southern California, il was only in
the Colorado river region that climatic
and other conditions similar to those
in the Nile valley and suited to the
long staple Egyptian cotton We're
found. There 100000 acres of excel
lent land are, or soon will be, under
ditch in the Imperial, Yuma, Salt and
ella valleys. and one-fifth of this
acreage could produce the amount Of
Egyptian cotton annually imported for
the use of New England mills.
For several years studies and ex-
periments with the various Egyptian
varieties have been undertaken in
Southern Arizona, southeastern Cali
fornia and Egypt. and several bulle-
tins have been issued giving detailed
reports of the progress made and sue
cess achieved.
Just now the department has issued
another pamphlet bulletin 21O, Bureau
OF Plant Industry. reporting the re-
suits of a visit to the cotton growing
districts of Egypt in June and July
1910, of the Economist of the depart
ment, in which is shown that the
mixture of Hindi cotton is proving
to be a serious burden upon the
Egyptian cotton industry Hindi is
the name applied in Egypt to an I'M
desirable type of cotton. with a short,
weak fibre that Injuries the high grade
Egyptian varieties by infesting them
with hybrids. The introduction of the
Egyptian cotton into the United
Hindi cotton and the practicability OF
establishing a commercial culture OF
States depends largely upon the elm
ination of Hindi contamination and
other forms of diversity, so that the
fiber may be produced in a satisfac-
tory condition of uniformity.
Breeding experiments have shown
that it is possible TO. secure a much
higher degree Of uniformity in Ari-
IONA than now exists in most of the
cotton fields of Egypt. II reasonable
care be used in maintaining the uni
formity of these types. it does not
seem that the American grown cotton
is likely to suffer any commercial dis
advantage on the ground Of lack OF
uniformity, even though the Egyptian
habit Of hand sorting is not fol-
lowed
The exclusion Of the Hindi cotton
by an efficient system Of selection will
enable white varieties to be grown, pro-
ducing longer and stronger fiber than
the brown varieties are likely to af-
ford. and will further the develop
ment and preservation Of uniform
strains of Egyptian cotton in the
United States.

REORGANIZATION OF

Milling Company.

In order to secure all creditors, and
place the company on a firmer finan-
cial foundation than ever before. the
interests of the Arizona Mining and
Milling Company, located near Poland
and adjacent to Wickenburg, were
turned over to Judge J. j. Hawkins of
Prescott a few days ago. This legal
movement was taken preparatory to
resuming work on larger scale than
ever before.
There are a number of very wealthy
stockholders residing in Illinois and
other eastern states who will be iGen-
titled with the company under the re-
organization that has been effected,
and the purpose is to start work as
soon as incidental matters can be ar
ranged. Twelve patented mines are

SANTA Re ROUND HOUSE

San Bernardino, Cal. June IL
Dispatches from Seligman, Ariz. to-
day state that the Santa Fe round
house at that place was destroyed by
fire. The loss was more than $780,
600. The fire started from oil in a
pit beneath one of ten lOcomitives
which were in the roundhouse at the
time. All these engines were dam
aged and the road, in consequence,
will be hampered by temporary lack
of sufficient motive power during the
present period of unusually heavy
traffic.

Over Surprises Forcasted
For Baldwin Inaugural
CAUCUSES WILL DECIDE
SenatOrship and Leaderships to BE
Settled Tonight-Baldwin OFF

About everybody with a political
turn of mind statewtse has that mind
bent upon the coming political fights
at Hartford between the two dominant
parties in caucus there tonight, and
to await the delivery of Judge Bald

From the inhlings Of sections of the
incoming Governors speech, extracts
Of which have already been read to a
number of his after dinner guests.
the address will be one that will cause
something Of stir in this State when
it is finally delivered.
It is intimated that in this speech
he will not spare any party, but that
he will appeal directly to the bone
and sinew Of the commonwealth Of
Connecticut.
Goes to Hartford.
He has engaged suit of rooms
at the Hotel Heub1ein in Hartford,
and will repair there this afternoon,
from which coign Of vantage his exc
cutive secretary, Edwin s. Thomas,
will meet all oomers. Judge Baldwin
will remain at the Heublein until af-
ter the delivery Of his speech on We'd
nesday and until the Inauguration ball
tomorrow evening has been concluded.
A number of New Haven ladies will
be his guests during his temporary
stay In Hartford, and he will hold g.
reception this evening at the hotel to
his many friends.
While the party caucuseS are going
on tonight in Hartford the Democratic
and Republican wings Of the party
doubt that the Republican Senators at
the Hartford club will name Frank
G. Woodruff Of Orange as president
pro tenn, Of the Senate. This is the
common belief among the politicians
interested. Woodruff is classed as a
Mclean man, and for this reason it
is said the Mclean influence in the
caucus at the Hartford club tonight
will support him. The fight in this
particular is by no means over, how
ever, and will not be over until about
midnight tonight. It is quite likely
from what is stated that Senator
Stiles Judson will be named az Sem
ate chairman Of the judiciary commit

Democratic Caucuses.
Along with the Republican caucuses
tonight will come, those of the Demo-
Gratis at the Allyn house and the capt.
toll, and after the dinner given by
Senator Spellacy at the Allyn house
it is believed that there will be dis
cussion of the Senatorial minority
leadership. at which the names Of
Senator'S Spellacy of Hartford, Mahan
Of New London. and Mitchell of New
Haven, will be taken up. It is sup
posed that Mahan will carry off this
plum. There will be a hot fight over
these appointments, and it is believed
that # will finally settle down to

minority leader in the House, with

Haven, going on the judiciary. COM

The assistant House clerkship fight
will also be settled tonight.
Regarding the United States Sena-
torial fight, the vote of the Democrats

BIG CRIMINAL DOCKET
FOR NEW HAVEN COURT

New Haven, Jan. 3-Tnvo1ving
charges which range from murder, the
most serious charge on the criminal
calendar, to breach of the peace, the
heaviest criminal Superior docket
coming before New Haven county
jurymen in number Of years will
bring to trial some 6S prisoners, some
of whom it is claimed here are want
ed on charges in others parts of the
country. The Importance Of the
charges on which prisoners are to be
tried and the size of the docket are
the features Of the January term
which opened this afternoon. Mary
Sullivan is the only prisoner on the
docket held on the most serious charge
of murder, in causing the death Of
Mrs Catherine Hayes, wife of former
Police Sergeant Michael Hayes
Two are to be tried for arson. Theft
of cattle, an unusual charge in this
part OF the country and a charge
which smacks of the west with
possibility Of revealing the work of
real "rustlers" adds to the breadth of
the docket. Two face the grave
charges Of robbery and the placing
of distractions on railroad tracks.
Patrick Hurley is the only one on the
docket charged with perjury. Ham,
den is well represented in the GRIM
inal session of the new term, having
four of it's residents ready for trial on
charges of robbery, burglary and sta
tutory burglary.

DEATH FROM
OPEN SWITCH
C. E. Stoddard, in Caboosc of
Freight, Badly Mangled in
Derby Accident

Derby, Jan. .3-Crushed beneath the
debris in a train wreck, Clarence E.
Stoddard. a railroad brakeman, lost
his life last night after being horribly
mangled when a switch, just south
Of Division street, was turned incor-
rectly, while freight cars were being
transferred from track to track. The
wreck is said by railroad men to be
one Of the worst. experienced in this
vicinity in a long period, cars being
piled up SO as to BATTLE the efforts
Of wrecking crews from New Haven
for several hours, besides closing both
the New Haven and Bridgeport dou-
BILE track lines between Ansonia and
Derby. Trains owing to the wreck, had
to be sent over the discarded Nauga-
tuck tracks.
The accident happened just south
Of Division street, between Derby and
Ansonia. The crew of the freight
train were at work backing freight
cars onto a siding. This operation
was to be followed by a clearing of
the track so that the train could take
the main line and proceed After
clearing the siding, the switch, it was
discovered, had not been placed, but
enough to prevent the train from
smashing into the cars on the siding.
Stoddard in the caboose of the on
coming freight train, was buried I'M
der the debris following the crash.
Four cars were derailed and piled in
a mass. Owing to the intense fog
which spread over the city the work
Of digging for Stoddard's body was
delayed until the wreching crew ar
rived from New Haven. Stoddard's
body was not recovered until 1880.
He was cut almost in two, with one
leg forced over his head. The man
was resident Of Pittsf1eld, Mass, and

Stoddard had been boarding in An

WHY The BARBER'S
FACE is GROWING
GRADUALLY LONGER

The face of the local barber grows
long and he does not wear his usual
optimistic smile when he greets his
patrons. He is a sad and sonber
parsonage, this once cheerful, ever
smiling, ever babbling wielder Of the
spinach scythe.
One asks what has wrought this
change and transformed this genial
conversationalist, who leased the
whiskers from your bottom jaw, to
monosyllable razor pusher who cuts
the beard from your tired plysog?
Look on the back cover Of most of
the December magazines and learn
the answer: buy Him Safety Razor
for Christmas-No. Stropping-A Doz-
en- Extra Blades" They bought it
for him. That is theNanswer.
If you can get your barber into a
close enough friend, he will tell you
that the alleged safety razor has put
crimp in his business and that he
has got about as much chance as
rabbit under the new game law.
When a reporter learned that the
New York BARRIERS were going to try
to put a bill through the Legislature
prohibiting the manufacture of the
facial lawn-mowers, he visited his
own tonsoralist and found it to be a
grave situation, indeed. Here is what
one barber has to say:
HAS the safety razor hurt our
business to any extent? Well, believe
me, it has. If they keep on advertis-
ing and selling these instruments
we'll have to put up the cost of shaves
and get the price of planked shad for
a hot towel and a quarter for a sous
ing Of witch hazel. Not because it's
worth it, but lot Of us have fami-
parer has sliced into our business at
a horrible rate and If the husbands
don't get wise and refuse to use the
tools that their wives buy them, the
barber shops in a few years will be
as scarce as fresh eggs in restau-
rant. It isn't because the men really
want to shave themselves that has
brought about this. change, but the
women have been all wrought up by
the flaming advertisements in the
magazines and they figure out that if
men like Hans Wagner, Americas
greatest swatter and William How
ard Taft, champion heavyweight Pres
ident of Thea world, can shave with
one of these whisker reapers, there is
no reason why George can't do it.
Then they get out pencil and paper
and figure out the BARRIERS bills this
little tool will save and, how they
can buy piano-player, a house and
lot and a dozen other things on the
savings. Maybe at the same time
they will get one for little Percy, who
is in the high school and has a fuzz
under cultivation
Believe me, kid; it's the women
that are to blame. OF course we ought
not to throw all the blame on them
because the manufacturing concerns
have studied how to sell their razors
and they appeal especially to women
and, take it from me, some Of these
manufacturing concerns have furnish
ed the capital for this new skim pro-
duct, for while, these little mowers
do not cut in theory they do skin IN
