OVERLAND SECURES
CITY FRANCHISES
Tempe Votes FavorabIy and Prescott
Grants an Extension.

The popularity of the Overland Tel
ephone company seems to have been
pretty well established in Tempe by
yesterdays election on the question of
granting the company a franchise to
do local business in that city. There
were 125 votes polled and all but six
of them were in favor of granting
the franchise. almost a unanimous
showing. 1t was a good representa-
tive vote too. when il considered that
there was no contest on, for usually
in such cases only a very small per-
centage of the voters turn out
Heretofore the company has merely
been privileged to maintain two or
three paw stations for those who
wanted the benefit of the long dis
lance service. Now that the fran
chise has been secured ii is the plan
of the company to open up a local
exchange just as it has done in Phoe-
nix
The company likewise is planning a
local service for Prescott at an early
day. 1t has had a franchise for oper-
ating in that city for a long time but
mas oeeh ueidSeu III getting its lines
into operation. The franchise expired
by limitation yesterday but at the
request of the company which ex
planned its difficulties. the Prescott
city council held a special meeting
last Friday and unanimously granted
the company a years extension of
its franchise. Prescott seems to want
the service and the company is anx-
ious to furnish it as soon as it can.

the party ticket was selected. They
had been unable to find anyone to run
for assessor and most of them were
willing to vote for Barnett 1t was
agreed, however, that if any likely per-
son turned up he should be placed on
the ticket.
But the two men chosen for council
manic candidates had a few objections
TO make. Sam Easterling wouldn't run
from the First ward and w NJ. Fickas
would't run from the Third. Sid Gold
man was turned to in the hour of ex-
tremity and implored TO run for the
council in his ward, and late yesterday
afternoon it looked like Goldman would
be the fair haired boy. Down in the
Third ward somebody dug up Frank
Wood, the horseshoer. Wood gave a
flat refusal to run against his old
friend, Elmer Warren, but somebody
got around him and at n late hour last
night Woods petition was filed with
the city recorder
Another discovery made in the Third
ward was F. S. Mccall. who could be
induced to run for assessor. Mccall
was found at the Constable cold stor-
The split between the two democratic
factions is wide. The regulars are
running on a platform of economy in
city affairs" which has been their
howl ever since the republicans got
into power and put Phoenix on a cash
basis.
I'VE are in favor of a commission
form of government just as soon as it
can be secured" said DR.. Hughes last
night. I'VE are on a broad, progress
sive and honest platform. Honest cleo
lions and honesty in the conduct OF
affairs will be our constant
aim"
DR.. Hughes had some very uncom-
remarks to make about the
ticket placed in the field by the regu-
lars.
1T is such a ticket as true democrats
could not be expected to vote for" he
declared. Nevertheless he stated that
if the regulars defeated the progress
sives at the primaries they would have
the support of the losers.
When asked il prohibition was a part
Of the progressive platform, DR.. Hughes
replied that il was not.
Officer John Fraley, who is an indie
pendent candidate for marshal, did not
file any petition with Recorder Thorn
as last night. He stated that later on
he would file a petition bearing the
names of 10 per cent of the voters and
get his name on the ticket as an in
dependent. Fraley is confident that he
stands an excellenC chance to land the
office and says that he is having no
trouble getting voters to sign his pc
tition.
The plans of ]. W. Canning are I'M
known. but it is generally thought that
he will also run as an independent. He
has said that he will make fight for the
office of marshal if he only gets one
own.
Nothing has been heard the last few
days of the mon partisan league"
which was to tear things open and run
the city in the latest approved fashion.
The league was also progressive"
though its policies were never as wen
defined as those of the progressive
democrats. 1t is believed that the
league has died "a bornin'"

INTERSTATE COMMERCE
Railroad Transportation
Henceforth to be Elk
changed Only For Cash.
Power to Reduce Rates
Restricted.

Washington. Feb. 2O.-Not for many
wears have so many far-reaching prin-
ciples relating to interstate commerce
been approved by the supreme court OF
the United States as were established
i'm it's decisions today as the unques-
toned law of the land.
Among the questions relating TO in
terstate commerce decided were;
That the passenger has no right TO
buy tickets with services, advertising
releases, or property. nor can the rail-
road company buy services, advertising,
releases or property with transporta-
ton.
That a state law regulating the size
of crews on trains within the state is
not an obstruction to Interstate COM
merce, but is rather enacted in aid OF
interstate commerce, and may e
passed by state for the public SAFETY
That the supreme court will review
the validity of an order of the interstate
commerce commission even though the
two year Limitation on the life of the
order has expired.
That a railway system may not es-
cape regulation as an instrument of
interstate commerce because one OF its
constituent parts is a wharf company
and the dominating power over the
wharf company rests in the fact that
il is a holding company.
That the interstate commerce COM
mission does not possess the power to
reduce rate ''as unjust and unrea-
sonable" merely because the rate is
inequitable under some circumstances,
nh raf hG
shippers to enter a field by offering
rates so low as to be unremunerative
and later increase the rates.
The court Furthermore decided as
constitutional a state statute providing
that no contract of relief. benefit. or
ordinance should bar the right of a
railroad emplOye engaged in the opera
ton of a railroad to sue the employer
for damages resulting from injuries re-
ceived in the course of its employ
ment
The mayor and several cOuncilmen of
Clay Center, Kas., were held in con-
tempt but excused from punishment
with the payment of costs. because they
destroyed the subject matter of liti-
cation before the supreme court. aft
er it's decision was announced but be-
fore it's mandate had been issued or
time was given for a motion for re-
hearing.
The famous boycott case brought in
the local courts by the Buck Stove
& Range company of St Louis against
the American Federation of Labor was
formally dismissed
The officials of the National Stores
company were granted a rehearing of
their conviction of alleged violations of
the Sherman antitrust law.

NEW HOUSE RULE
DEATH TO DELAY
NO MORE FlLiBUSTERS THIS
SESSION..
The Democratic Members Find II
Satisfactory.

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 2O.-Fil-
clustering in the lower branch OF
congress in this session became q
thing of the past today when the
house voted by a large majority foI
rule which when invoked by a two
thirds vote as to any pending meas
ure, forthwith reduces the time OF de-
bate to forty minutes and cuts off all
amendments.
The rule was at once invoked
against the filibuster on the omnibus
war claims bill. and that measure-a
house substitute for a senate bill
was passed in short order.
The house bill cuts out all French
spoliation and navy-yard overtime
claims. There is not a great deal OF
hope that it will be accepted by the
senate.
characterized as a gag" by some
of it's opponents. the rule adopted to-
day. can only be brought into play
when two thirds of the house desire
il, and even when the passage of a
bill under the suspension provided for
can only be accomplished by a two
thirds vote
In the rules committee il was pro-
posed at first to allow a majority to
invoke the rule. The democrats OBJ
jected to this and the two-thirds pro-
vision was inserted.
In urging the adoption of the rule
in the house the democratic leaders
pointed out that this provision was
a sufficient safeguard and the minor
ity party would always be in a po-
sition TO muster more than one-third
the membership of the house and
could therefor defeat any undesirable
measure. Through this power of veto
II also was said. the democrats were
in a position to demand that appro-
priation bills called up under the rule
be put in satisfactory shape.
That the new rule was not intend
ed wholly as a steam roller" but as
a means of ending useless filibusters
was demonstrated within very few
hours after it's adoption.
The house resumed consideration OF
the naval appropriation bill under the
ordinary rules. More than two hours
were spent in the general debate and
then the reading of the bill for
amendment under the five minute
rule was begun.

LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
They Are Further Disturb
ed by the Direct State
ment that a Failure to
Act on the Treaty Means
an Extra Session.

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 2O.-Senator
Aldrieh. chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the senate. has written
President Taft that he favors the con-
firmatiOn of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement
whether the letter makes promises
of assistance in getting action in inc
senate at the present session mas not
Deen disclosed but senator's who have
seen IT intimate that the senator will
do all he can to aid the president.
The announcement that Senator AL
drlch was in favor of the reciprocity
agreement was received with SURPRISE
IN the senate, especially by the stand
pat senators who have come out
against the agreement on the ground
that it is not in compliance with the
tenets of the republican party on
protection
No announcement was made ut the
White House today in respect to the
letter and there was considerable spec
ulatiOn at the capitol as to whether
the measure would be made public.
Senator Aldrich, on account of his
i'll health. is spending the winter at
Jekyl island, Georgia, and although
much better. il is not likely he will
take part in any further tariff legis-
lation, as his term expires March T.
Soon after the Canadian agreement
was sent TO congress and it was re-
ported that there was little chance for
action in the senate at the present
session, President Taft wrote to Sena-
tor Aldrich 1t is understood the eX-
ecutive urged him to come back and
take charge of the fight for the meas
ure i'm the senate. At one time it
was rumored that Mr.. Aldrich might
be back but this was denied.
Senators who discussed today the
statement authorized by Representa-
tive Mccall. following his interview
with President Taft construed it to
mean that an extraordinary session Cf
congress surely would be called IN
the event that the senate failed to
act on the agreement and that the
statement was issued with the presi-
dents sanction, if not under his di-
rectiOn.
There is no doubt that it filled some
senators with CONSERVATION while
some others felt it was only a gentle
reminder from the White House that
the big stick still was in working
order.

Frank DeSouZa is the only democrat
endorsed by, both regulars and pro
gressives" The progressives named nc
candidate for assessor.
The republican leaders determined t.
make Lloyd b. Christy candidate to
succeed himself. Months ago Mayor
Christy' declared that he would not ac-
cept the office for a second term. He
was recognized as the party's strongest
man and great pressure was brought
to bear TO persuade him to change his
mind. Lately conferences were held
with Mayor Christy's business associ-
ates and it is understood that some
very urgent kilograms were sent to
Washington. Sunday IL was decided 10
nominate the mayor and early yester-
DAY a petition in his behalf was put
in circulation. Voters eagerly signed
the petition. expressing their surprise
and qualification.
The hunt for a candidate for coun-
Gilman from the First ward did not end
until last evening Saturday the CEN
trail committee decided to nominate
either Charles ]. McElroy or James
Griffin. They both declined. for bust
ness reasons. and the hunt was re-
stunned yesterday. Among those inter-
viewed were c. II. Pratt. Victor Norris
and Harvey Patton. Finally such great
pressure was brought to bear upon Nc
Elroy and his employers that consent
to use his name was gained
All the other candidates appearing on
the republican ticket were selected
some days ago.
1t was not until Sunday morning,
after The Republican published a list
of candidates selected in the democratic
primary Saturday night, that DIR.
Hughes and the other progressives de-
cided to nominate an opposition ticket.
Early Monday morning they began to
work in earnest. lining up suitable can
didates. Frank DeSouza was the only
regular" who met with the approval
of the progressives and it was decided
to support him at the primaries.
A delegation called upon b. W. Get
singer and offered him the nomination
for mayor. Mr.. Getsinger declined but
aligned himself with the progressive
wing of the democracy and was one
of the active workers throughout the
day. He circulated a petition for his
partner, w. G. Tolleson, who had been
selected for councilman from the First
ward. A co-worker of DIR. Hughes in
the prohibition field. John L. Irwin,
was chosen to lead the cause in the
Third ward. At one time Mr.. Irwin was
prominently mentioned for the regular
nomination.
DR.. Hughes had been grooming E. B.
Vincil for marshal but Vincil had not
been looked upon favorably by the
democratic caucus. Vincirs petition
was one of those placed in circulation.
II is understood that Dr. Cameron
objected strenuously to running for any
office whatever. but it was pointed out
to him that it was his duty to make
the race for treasurer. Cameron lives
in the Second ward and is school
trustee.
When the democratic caucus broke
up Saturday night those who took part
in its deliberations fondly hoped that
