RAPS COMMERCE COURT.
Senator POindexter Would Have That
Tribunal Abolished.


In introducing bin for the ADOLF
ton of the court of commerce, Sena-
tor Poindexter day or SO ago sharply
criticised the decision OF that court in
the Sp0kan. Itte case. He declared
that tie effect of the courts decisions
was to destroy the long and short haul
clause of the interstate commerce law
as we'll as the power of the interstate
commerce commission to perform its
functions.
Mr.. Poindexter declared that in
every important case where the petit
ton was filed by a railroad company
the commerce court has enjOined the
orders of the interstate commerce COM
mission
1T has destroyed the effectiveness OF
this commission" he said. "The com
mission by its good work for years has
won the confidence of the people The
Spokane case was carefully considered
by the commission for years. Conclu-
sions were tested by application to &C
tual business before ordered into eff
feet. And yet the raw commerce court
without special experience, on brief
hearing, enioins this carefully consii-
cred and thor oughly tested order.
"The court is entirely superfluous,
has grossly exceeded it's authority, and
will be constantly prone to arrogate
to itself functions which do not belong
to it, which are not judicial and which
can ever be properly exercised by a
judicial tribunal 1t SHOULD be at once
abolished"

Gave Morphine to Hens in Order to
Make Them Set.

The authorities at Thomaston, Conn,
are investigating case of local
poultryman, who is accused of admin
istering morphine to his hens. The
poultryman admits the charge, but de-
clares that his action is not Illegal.
He says that he wished to raise some
very early pullets and his hens refused
to set. Then he decided to use the
drug to accomplish his wishes. Twelve
eggs were placed in nest and large
hen selected. Three times a day she
was given a hypodermic injection of
morphine in the leg According to the
farmer she remained peacefully on the
nest except on one occasion when she
walked up to the house, stuck up her
right leg, received small quantity of
the drug and returned.

OPEN CLARK HEADQUARTERS

Without consulting Speaker Champ
Clark, his friends have opened city
headquarters in st. Louis and State
headquarters at Louisiana, Mo-, says
q recent press dispatch, to further the
movement to procure for the Missouri

Presidency in 1912.
An open letter, subscribed to by a
local committee of ten Democrats and
like number from as many cities and
towns in the State, recites in part as
follows what they believe to be Speak
CT Clark's chief qualifications
The Speakers record invites scru-

popular canvass of the country He
would carry his home state by an
overwhelming vote. He would satisfy
each wing of the Democratic party.
He would not alarm any honest BUSH

The weight of the concrete furniture
is about one-third greater than wooden

AGED NEGROES LOOK FOR CASH.
Score of Blacks In Washington to Get

Score Of Blacks in Washington to Get
Money From Broken Freedman's
Bank.
Scores OF aged negro men and wo-
men gathered in the rotunda of the cap
ito1 at Washington one day last week,
each tightly gripping musty book, by
which they expected to gain restitu-
ton of losses incurred in the collapse
OF the Freedmen's bank here in the
early seventies.
Where do we get the money!" they
eagerly asked.
What money!" replied capitol po-
liceman.
"The Freedmen's bank claims. This
is the day we are to get all the money
back-between 10 and o'clock in the
rotunda."
The excitement was due to misun-
derstanding in 6 local church an
Eouncement Ministers in negro
churches on the previous Sundar adj
v.sed their congregations that COM
mittee had been appointed to see
Speaker Clark on that day to urge
further legislation or relief of the sur
vivors of the thousands of negroes who
lost their savings in the collapse Of the
bank, which was organized just after
the war. The committee later saw the
speaker.
The bank, with branches in Balti-
more, New Orleans, Jacksonville and
other southern cities, had over 10000
depositors when a board Of commits
sioners took over its, affairs in July.
1874.
The liabilities were over $2,879,O0O.
The affairs OF the bank were in bad
ly tangled condition and congress pro-
vided for the handling of all its funds
by the treasury department. There
has been continuous appeal to con-
gress since then for full payment to
the negro deposftors, but none of the
claims has been paid BY congress.

COMPLETES PLAN FOR
 THE lYCEUM COURSE

After due consideration, the educa- tional committee Of the Phoenix Y. M C. A. has decided to accept the offer of the trustees of the public school to hold the Y. M. c. A. triangle entertain ment course in the auditorium of the Adams school. As a great many peo- pie have not visited the school, the committee felt this would afford them an opportunity of seeing one of the most modern schools in the West with an auditorium which from the point of acoustics. lighting facilities, up-to- date equipment, is not excelled in the city to- day, and thereby add greatly to the pleasure of the entertainments.
 Tn program has just been received from the printers and one thousand copies will be mailed to the residents of Phoenix and vicinity. The tickets for the course are now on sale and may be procuded by applying to any officer of the Y. NJ C. A or to the members of the educational committee.
 This course is to be a real treat in every way and the Y. M. C. A. earn estly hopes the public will appreciate its endeavors to bring talent of a high order to Phoenix, thereby giving them an opportunity to hear and see the bes. at a moderate cost

FRIDAY S LUCKY
 DAY FOR HUNTERS
# They are Careful Men Like Jack BlumenthaI, They Don't Get
 Killed.

Friday morning Frank Shedd pro | prietor of the Stag Hotel rather than be disappointed on account of little
 rain, still decided that it would be a
 great day for quail. An auto was prom 1 ised by a friend, but the auto failed
 to show up, and Shedd was obliged to
 hire horse and buggy. Jack Blumen-
 thai the night clerk at the Stag was
 asked to go and not having a gun bor- rowed one from a friend, the friend
 being absent
 Friday is a lucky day because it rained. Crackers cost 13c per pound | which is another lucky omen. The drive was made to the Indian reserva- | ton in quick order. It was still rain 1 ing. but quail were plentiful and Jack and MT. Shedd commenced to bang at them. Jack who has had more ex- perience with a bean shooter than with a shot gun was having a great deal of trouble with the repeating gur (borrowed) and succeeded in soaring a number of quail into the path of Mir. Shedd.
 Jack had to go through fence, and in some way allowed the gun to pick up about two inches of nice gummy mud. Not knowing this Jack followed on with a conquering tread. Hey Jack, get that bird' yelled Shed. Bang. went the repeater. What the %? cried Shedd. Oh: cried Jack. Well I'll be %? smiled the unlucky hunter.
 The gun had simply blown up. and the end of the barrel now rsembled a pitch fork instead of a repeating shot gun. Jack still insists that the fault was with the shells, but the evidence is too strong for that as a careful ob- server can see that about two inches of mud in the end of the barred caused the blow up.
 There were 13 birds killed. It took two hours and thirteen minutes to make the trip back. and it will cost Jack thirteen dollars to replace the damaged barrel. Friday is a lucky day, especially for hunters.

Miss Elder declared the publicity

sudden death of her brother, Samuel

when he fell beneath a Lehigh Valley

whether her marriage was postponed
or not, but expected that circum-

Newark has a double reason for
celebrating today. In addition to being
the birthday of the Father of His
Country, it is also the birthday OF
the Mayor of our city, Jacob Hauss,
ling. Although the first is known by
every man. woman and child in the
city, the latter is not so generally
known. for the simple reason that the
Mayor observes the anniversary of his
birth quietly at his home. Mayor
Hausslng is today 56 years old. But
to judge him by appearances one
would not think SO
He is as active as a man twenty
years younger and still has many,
many useful years in front of him.
OF course, the close friends of the
Mayor know that this is his birthday,
and he has received many congratu.
