|. [. [. HEARING IN
 WELLS FARGO CASE
COMMISSIONER BURcHMoRE TO
 BE HERE TOMORROW.
Railway Commission Has Its Case
 We'll in Hand.

Special Examiner Burchmore of the Interstate Commerce commission will be here tomorrow for the purpose of hearing testimony on complaints filed with the commission by the Arizona Railway commission against Wells Fargo & Co, and the Southern Pa cific and F. P. & s. w. railways. There are two complaints, one being against the express company and the other against the railroads. The lat ter is merely demand for a refund on an alleged overcharge in a ship ment of bottles from Bisbee
 The Wells Fargo case is looked upon as the most important one that has yet been filed against that corl- pany. being wider in its scope than any other It involves demand for lower rates not only between all Ar.- zona towns. but between all Ariz, na towns and all other places. Thus far the complaints filed against Wells Fargo & Co. have been strongly re- sisted. and it is expected the com pany will be represented here by it's best counsel.
 The Arizona Railway commission has been working hard for long time in preparing it's case, and Sec retary DePass' has fifteen tables of comparative rates. which he will in troduce as exhibits. He has been burning the midnight electricity late ly. regardless of expense, that he may have his case well in hand George Stoneman, counsel for the commission. has been here for cou- pie of days. going over the situation with Mir DePass. and it is expected Chairman McNair will be here today or tomorrow. Witnesses for tie com mission will be here from Globe, Bis bee. Douglas. Kingman. Yuma and Tucson.
 The hearing will be held in tine United States court room, which hap pens to be the same as the district court room. and though it was called for Monday. it is hardly expected that the hearing will be concluded until some time Tuesday.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS"
 SIMPLY NEVER EXISTED

The unreasonableness of some of the so-called reasoning by which the Palmy Days are proved to have existed (by the way. they always were in the youth of the narrator-between 30 and 50 years ago) Is peculiar. says Glenmore Davis in an article in Success Magazine. Pos sibly funny is the better adjective Because Julius Caesar, Hannibal. Cy- rus. XerXes and Alexander are consid- cred better generals than Bismark Lee. Grant, Kitchener and Kuropatkin. the

Forty-five or fifty years ago F. w. Spears came to Arizona. The wildness of the desert was then untamed. and each little rivulet gurgled without hay ing to go through a Pelton water wheel to manufacture electricity. Everything was as Nature had left it on the day of creation, presumably, and the world was beautiful indeed. But instead of delicious farm products the settlers breakfasted. lunched and dined on beech nuts This menu grew tiresome At the end of ten years Spears said one morning: T would give three sec tiOns of land for one dish of clam chowder and a plate of truffles" His offer was never taken. After making plenty of money in the Salt river valley MT. Spears transferred his domicile to 1165 Magnolia avenue. Long Beach. where he lives at present, during the few weeks he does not spend in the Salt river valley. officially his resi- dence is in Long Beach. However. be- yond dropping in occasionally to see how members of the family are getting along. he still nves in the Salt river valley, where he was large land inter ests. One of his visits to Phoenix came to an end last night. He stopped at the Commercial yesterday and shed tears at the thought of leaving.
 
 w A Harmony of the engineering department of the Santa Fe. Prescott & Phoenix railroad was seen in the lobby of the Ford the other day. It would be impossible for Harmony to be a discord, but from his appearance, that square jaw. and the gray eyes that look out so pierceingly, he could make one if he had to.
 Grover Ketchum stopped at the Stag yesterday. Reversed, his name has a most familiar sound. Ketchum, Grover. carried ones mind back to the old farm, where the puppies frolicked in the front yard. His name is the only peculiar thing about MT Ketchum. however. He has no eccentricities. and is. in fact. possessed of the most signal ability. After Harrimans death he was spoken of as the only man living who could fill the railroad kings shoes. They were tried on Ketchum and were ohNtuaiiy iouiu to pe top NSiIdii. IniS Is the reason ketchum is not president of the Southern Pacific.
 His appearance might lead an un- sophisticated person to believe that J. s. Malone is a vender of jewelry. cut glass or Huyler's chocolate, whereas. in reality he sells sanitary appliances and steam goods Mir. Malone is at present in Phoenix on business. and leaves tomorrow morning for Los Ang- eles. He reports good business.

HEARD IN THE l0BBIES

Representing the Crane Hardware company. the Honorable Billy Morri- son. plumber extraordinary Of the Pa cific coast, arrived in Phoenix yester- day to plumb the Hotel Adams and apIomb himself in the resuscitating att mOsphere of the Salt river valley. There is considerable difference be- tween plumb ar aplOmb. as everybody knows. For instance, a man with aplomb would never under any circum- stances be angry with the plumbing. and it would be an impossibility for the plumbing to possess aplomb. These ideas were cOnieived by no less a per son that Mir. Morrison himself, who said yesterday afternoon in the lobby of the Stag: T like to be plumber. because I feel that the world needs me. l noticed an editorial in The Re publican the other day in which it was stated that because King George is an intelligent man he probably realizes that he may be the last king of England Well and good The world can struggle along without monarchs, but when will it be able to get along without plumb CTS. We are indispensable" Mir Morrison said more on the subject, but just as he was touching on the part of his discourse which was to treat of the rewards of plumbing. he was called out by friend They had a glass of lem onade and cubeb together, afte.. which Morrison came back to talk some more. His audience was gone. They had talk en advantage of their opportunity to flee his elOQuence.
 Some paint and door company or oth CT publishes an attractive booklet in which every illustration shows beau tiful woman standing in a beautiful doorway. In one picture the door is partly open, and she is standing on the sill trying to overhear a converse tion that is being carried on out on the porch. In another she is closing the door. pretending that she doesn't mind because he went away. In an other she stands in an elegant pose, drawing on her gloves. and trying to create the impression that she has no idea he is looking at her around the corner of the porch These pictures dit SluuitS OI ltIlllllnt iidluit, anu Ol feminine fallacies. for they try to pre- sent the impossible phenomenon of a beautiful women who is free from self consciousness and vanity. This book is not issued by the w. P. Fuller com pany of Los Angeles, said Mfr. w. c. Taber at the Ford yesterday. MT Taber sells doors and paints himself. and he denied the allegation that his company might have issued the woman and door book. we sell our doors on their merits" he said; and not on the beauty of the women who occasionally pass through them" This was a bus inesslike way of putting it. Taber is evidently woman hater. As Geraldine would say: His rudeness to our sex makes me believe that at some time or other he may have had an experience. (Remarkable) I regard him as a man with a history.

bic up this richest of the Alask;
land prizes before anyone els,
could have a chance to fileq
This is the big important ques
ton to which the House com
mittee on expenditures in The
interior department is seeking
an answer.
II such was not the deliberate
plan of the Administration, why
were these lands thrown open
by such unusual procedure-by
a secret executive order instead
of by proclamation?
Another query: If there was
no conspiracy between the adj
ministration and the big ex-
plotting interests, how does it
come that Spectator Ryan,
supposed agent of the Morgan
Guggenheims, alone knew of the
issuance of President Taft's
secret (7) order and was able
to file a soldiers scrip on 100
rods Of Controller bay water
front within three days after
President Taft signed the order
eliminating the land from the
national forest and before any
other man could have known
of the orderG
Another extraordinary fea-
ture Of the case is this The
unavailable rule has been to give
go days notice before any
claimant could file on this land,
but, according to Mr.. Den
nett Of the General Land Office
when the Presidents order first
came to him the 60 day provision
was in it, and when he next
saw the order there was no time
allowed whatever for notice to
the public-not even "a day.
That there was actually an
understanding between the ad-
m~inistration and the men who
were to profit through the
Presidents amazing secret or
der is not a state of affairs so
remarkable to those who have
been closely following things
in Washington. There have
been precedents exactly par
alleling such a performance.
When the railroad regulation
bill was sent to the LAST Con
gress by the President the
was in absolute ignorance
of its contents. But the fact
developed later that although
the President had not seen fit
20 take the public into his con
fidence, he had allowed the rail
roads interests not only to sug-
gest the lines along which the
bill should be framed, and to
load it with jokers against the
public interest, but to actually
pass upon and 0. K. the bill
before the people were even
permitted to know that its
preparation was contemplated.
Before the investigation into
this newest Alaska land Jug
glery is finished it promises to
develop a condition of affairs
beside which the attempted
theft Of Alaska coal lands is
inconsequential.
The probe is in charge Of
Representative James M. Ora
ham of Illinois, one of the really
big men in the Democratic house,
whose career from the very
first day he entered Congress
has stamped him as a man above
partisanship and one especially
qualified by service on the
investigating COM
mttee to make the inquiry he
Is now so conscientiously en-
gagged in.
