THE RUMOREO TRANSFER
OF PHOENIX RAILWAY
SUPERINTENDENT MITCHELL HAS
NOT BEEN INFORMED.
He States Though That His Notifiea-
tion Would Not be Necessary.

Regarding rumors which have been
afloat for a week or more of the sale
of the property of the Phoenix Street
Railway company to the Pacific Elec-
tric company, the holder of the electric
line of the Southern Pacific in Cali
fornia, Superintendent S. II. Mitchell
said yesterday that he had not been in
formed. He had had no intimation
that such a sale was in contemplation
by General VI. H. Sherman but he said
he would not necessarily have been in
formed.
However. such a deal could not have
been recently in progress for the rea-
son that General Sherman for more
than a month has been enjoying a rest
in Alaska and his son Robert p. Sher-
man has been i British Columbia all
summer. Both are expected to return
to Los Angeles today.
The earliest rumOrs of the sale of the
Phoenix Street railway named II. f.
Huntington as the purchaser but no
credence attached TO that for the reas-
on that Mr.. Huntington had recently
disposed of his railway interests I'm
California to the Pacific Electric, the
transfer being followed by the an
nOuncement that Mr.. Huntington had
retired permanently from that particu-
lar field of activity.
Other incidents had also discredited
rumors of the sale of the PhoeniS
street car system. For instance, it was
reported that agents. first of Hunting
ton and then of the Pacific Electric
had made a study of the franchises OF
the Phoenix company. 1t was learned
on investigation that strangers haC
been going over the records at the city
hall and the courthouse but it was
learned that thev were representatives
of the Salt River Valley Electric rail
way company since incorporated.

LIBERAL LORDS
ESTIMATING STRENGTH
Believe They Will Avoid Creation OF
Jew Press.

London, Aug. Head counting IN
the house of lords veto bill contest
has now been transferred to the lib
eral side of the chamber. Viscount
Morley has written all the liberal
peers, intimating that the veto bill
will be submitted to the lords again.
probably on August .. and after re
ferring to the positive intention of the
Halsburyites he asked, in view Of
this emergency. whether he may
count upon their attendance at the
chamber on that date.
This move is taken to mean that
the government is confident of its
ability to outvote the Halburyites
without the necessity of creating
more peers. 1t is estimated that from
sixty to seventy liberals will attend
the session while it is tOlerably GER
tain that Earl Halsbury cannot mus
ter fifty votes. 1t is considered more
likely that he will be able to gather
only twenty or thirty.

Up and Take Notice
A COUNTRY WIDE ISSUE
Created By His Convention
\ When 1t Adopted the

stored BY Encouraging
Letters From Insurgents.

Globe, Ariz.. Aug. 1.-George w. p.
Hunt, president of the Arizona con-
stitutional convention. a prominent
banker, politician and head Of the
Arizona Statehood League, has issued
la statement in which he indicates
that the question of the rights of the
people of a state to adopt a cOnsti-
tuition including the initiative, refer
endum and recall Will be taken to
the next republican and democratic
national conventions. The object Of
the move, said Hunt, is Ito have the
people of the United States under
stand the truth about the measures
included in the Arizona constitution.
He quotes the statement of Roosevelt
that he did not believe in the recall
Of the judiciary. hut believed it was
the business of the people of Arizona
to decide" He quotes letter from
Woodrow Wilson to Hunt, in which
he says: Il can only say that the
convention has worked out an ad-
mirable constitution adapted TO the
circumstances and conditions they
had to deal with, and certainly all the
liberal tendencies shown in the con-
stitution have my warm sympathles-
4 letter from Senator Owen says:
The president will assuredly not de-
eide against the Arizona constitution
on account Of the initiative. referen-
dunn and recall. The initiative and
referendum have been made sue
cessful issue in every state west Oh
the Mississippi with a few eXcep-
tions. Maine has adopted it. 1t IS
ridiculous to talk of the president
rejecting the constitution of Arizona
on such grounds
Hunt states that he has kilograms
from Senator's Moses Z. Clapp or
Minnesota. Bristow of Kansas. Cum
minis of Iowa. Brown of Nebraska
and La Toilette of Wisconsin prom
ising their support when the matter
reaches ,the senate, and also Joseph
NJ Dixon of Montana.
Senator La Toilette advises putting
the issue squarely up to congress
Senator Jonathan Bourne, in letter'
saws: Better lose statehood than
weld the right to control the state
government"
Senator Miles POindeXter of Wash

constitution adopted by Arizona Is
most excellent" and he says 1t Will
be approved by congress and the
president.
Hunt also quotes letters and tele-
grams from Senator John d. Works

Butte. Mont, Aug. There was a
battle of words at the session of the
convention of the Western Federation
of miners today. The clash occurred
between the supporters of the Indus
trial Workers Of the World movement,
and their opponents. The former were
denounced as being constantly in con-
spiracy to disrupt the organization of
the Western Federation and in turn
the supporters of the miners OrganiZa-
ton were denounced as reactionaries
and not militant in the cause OF the
laboring classes.
The tilt was precipitated at the op-
ening of the session when President
Meyer exhibited a copy of the industrial
workers paper published at Spokane
and called attention to a cartoon and
communication regarding the Butte
convention. In response to question
as to who was the correspondent OF
that paper. A. s. Embree, of the Nome
union said: Il wish to say that l am
not responsible for the cartoon referred
to. but l sent the communication to

coal holdings acquired by the United
States Steel Corporation in the absorp-
ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company in 1907 have valuation of
500. 100000 was estimated from figures
of the mineral holdings of the Tennes-

of representatives steel committee. The
figures were compiled by expert en-
gineers.
In acquiring the Tennessee

s29. .OOO. 900 the transaction having been
brought about to prevent the collapse
of the New York brokerage firm of
Moore ard Schley. which had made ex-
cessive loans with the Tennessee Coal
and Iron stock as collateral
Since the beginning of the inquiry
into that deal, Representative Stanley
and other members of the committee
have sought to develop evidence tending
to prove that the impending panic and
the danger of Moore and Schley were not
the prime motive lot lue merger, Dul
that it was desire on the part Of the
Steel Corporation TO acquire the Ten
nessee corporation and its vast mineral
deposits in the Birmingham district.
In furtherance of that idea, notwith-
standing the determined declarations
of witness after witness who partici-
pated in the exchange that the sugges-
ton of the conspiracy was preposter

appraised the deposits of the Birming
ham field in 1904. These men declared
that the ore deposits of that region
and the coal deposits estimated nearly
two billion tons. makeing the territory
almost unparalleled from an GRE pro-
ducing standpoint
The experts agreed that pig iron
could be produced there "a a ton cheap

BOY WAS SHOOTING BIRDS
The Small But High Power
Missile At a Distance of
Forty Rods Pierced the
Heart of the Unfortunate
Man.


Dhe same bullet that killed a dove
yesterday took the life of Frank
Barkley, one of the best known resi-
dents of the south side. The tragedy
occurred on the Mccullough farm,
about two miles east of Mesa, where
Mr.. Barkley and a young nephew
We're working in hay.
The rifle from which the shot :vas
fired was in the hands of a 12-year-
old boy. Akeman Mccullough, the
son of Omer Mccullough, and who
was shooting birds. The boy was
standing forty rods from Mr.. Bark
ley when he fired at a dove on the
limb of a tree about the height of a
mans head above the ground. From
his position he could not see Mr..
Barkley.
The nephew of the dead man, who
was standing near him, said that he
heard the bullet strike his uncle, who
turned to him, saying. Someone has
shot me-" He placed his hands on
his breast, the pain he felt pictured
in his cOuntenance, and then he
reeled and fell face downward. In
five minutes he was dead.
1t was found that the bullet from
a 22-caliber Stevens rifle had en-
tered the right breast, ranged across
TO the left and downward, entering
the heart.
The first news of the accident
reached Phoenix in a message to T.
Bone, a brOther-in-law of Mr.. Bark
ley, and about the same time a mes
sage was received for his nephew.
Ollie Barkley, who with his bride OF
two hours was already on a train en-
route to California, where they ex-
pected to spend their honeymoon,
The message was delivered to the
bridegroom and Mr. and Mrs. Bark
ley, leaving the train at Tempe, re-
turned to Mesa
The dead man was 81 years of age.
He leaves a wife and four children.
He is survived also by four brothers,
Charles. William and Sam Y. Bark
ley. the last a former member Of the
legislature and now a resident of
Tucson. One of the brothers lives at
Glendale and another at Buckeye.
The name of the fourth, who is also
a resident of Tucson, could not be
learned last night. There are also
two sisters Deputy Sheriff Billy
Wilson is a cousin
The Barkley family is one Of the
best known in the valley. The dead
man was one Of the most highly es-
teemed citizens of the south side and
for many years he had been an earn

suit of a special investigation made
in response to a resolution by Sena-
tor Borah. 1t covers practically all
the iron and steel plants in the
United States.
The fact that stands out most
strikingly in a study of labor condi-
tions in the iron and steel industry
of the United States" says the re-
port, lis the extent to which the
twelve hour day and the week of
seven days will prevail in this in
dustry." Much of the Sunday work
is no more necessary than in other
Industries, says the report.
Nearly so per cent of the employees
are foreign born and nearly two
thirds of these are Slavic. Almost
half of the 10000 employees receive
less than IS cents per hour. one
quarter under 25 cents per hour and
the other One-fourth % cents and
over per hour A few very highly
skilled employees, however, receive
s1.25 per hour Those receiving so
cents an hour and over number less

of Truman G.. Plmer, secretary of the
United States Beet Sugar company,
who testified today before the hous
sugar trust investigating committee.
Palmer condemned Cuban reciproc-
ity which he said he opposed before
the measure passed although he add
ed that he did not now advocate the
repeal of this agreement. The con-
sumner here, he acknowledged, is get
ting the benefit of Cuban reciprocity.
How many acres will be required
TO raise all the beets needed to sup
ply the home market?" asked Repre-
sentative Madison of Kansas.
About three million acres. But
this will mean that 100000 acres
will get the benefit of the beet sugar
Industry because the farmers should
rotate beets with other crops and
plant a tract of beets only once every
four years. Thus 100000 acres of
land will be enriched"
In discussing the coffee industry.
Palmer said enormous profits were
made in that business and that most
of the coffees sold at high prices
and labeled as select brands were
not what they purport to be.
He said that capital would not
continue to go into the beet sugar in
dustry without assurances that the
tariff would be left alone. He said
the retailer gets the largest part of
the profit on tea, sugar and coffee,
and that the American people paid
more than two million dollars over
and above the factory or import
prices for these ehree articles be-
tween 1897 and 1908.

THE FARMERS FREE LIST
Passed with Difficulty and
Slight Amendment This
and the Wool Bill Are
Expected to Be Sent to
the White House.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The demo-
cratic tariff program was moved up
closer to President Taft when the
senate by another remarkable CO.
aIition of democrats and republican
insurgents, passed a farmers free list
bill, after voting down the original
house measure so closely that one
more democratic senator would have
changed the result and left the en-
tire revision issue squarely before
the president tonight.
.'The unholy alliance" as the COM
bination of the insurgent republican
wing and the democratic party have
been called, swept aside a hose of
amendments and voted down by a
tie vote the original house measure,
and then carried by a surprising con-
centration of strength a measure diff
fering from the house bill by only
comparatively unimportant particu-
lars.
Now the bill goes back to the house
and Democratic Leader Underwood
tonight confidentially asserted that 1t
would be finally agreed to in a con-
ference between the two houses and
sent to President Taft.
The house free list bill was beaten
on a tie vote of 80 to SO, reconsid-
cred. changed by compromise
amendment offered by Senator Kern
of Indiana and passed by a vote Of
as to 80.
Originally the bill provided that
meat products, flour and cereal prod
ucts coming from a foreign country
with which the United States has
reciprocal trade agreement, and when
shall admit from the United States
free of duty, cotton, corn, wheat, oats,
horses, cattle and hogs" 1t is admitted
that this provision applies only to
Canada, after the new reciprocity
agreement becomes effective.
If President Taft vetoes this piil
and the wool tariff bill, both of
which. it is asserted, will be sent to
him, the democratic managers Of the
house will make no further effort
at tariff revision this session, but
will continue the preparation of tar
iff bills for the regular session next
December.
