 Tables introduced
 The greater part of the day was ss voted to the testimony Of Mir. DePzsA during which he introduced numosx or tables comparing rates to, from sza tetween all Arizona points, with rates that obtain in all other sections of tho country. which comparisons showed conclusiyely that the Arizona rates are considerably higher thas any Oth- CT rates existing, also that the rates to other points in the territory aro higher than they are to Phoenix. The commission therefore seeks to secure rates that are not only equitable a between all points in Arizona, but lower rates to and from all points in Arizona. As an illustration of the in equalities of the existing rates in Ari- zona, Secretary DeFtass gave the fol lowing examples:
 Arizona Rates
 The rate established by the -commis- sion between Phoenix and Simon, 251 miles, is S2.0O. and the rate between Yuma and Tucson, the same distance. 251 miles. is s3.20, and between PhOe- nix and Nelson, also the same dis tance, 251 miles, the defendant has a rate of s2.75.
 The rate between Phoenix and Ash Fork, 193 miles, is $2.00, and between Williams and Mellen, 1Ss miles. is S2.50.
 The rate between Phoenix and Flag staff, 25o miles. is s2.5O: between Kirkland and Mellen, 252 miles. is S3.25.
 The rate established by the commisS sion between Phoenix and Winkefma7. 96 miles, is so cents, against defend ants rate of SIPS between Phoenix and Hillside, 92 miles.
 Between Phoenix and Kingman, 309 niles, the rate is s300, against de- fendant's rate between Phoenix and Winslow, sos miles. of s3-25.

CLARK GRIFFITH 4
 PUPIL OFaPHILBROOK
Famous Baseball Player Was Reared at Normal, lllS,I
 Like Many Others

Clark Griffith, one of the greatest figures in the baseball world, was once a pupil of Professor C. F. Philbrook. at Normal, III. Griffith took a course in baseball and stud jed several other minor subjects as a recreation.
 The baseball hero was then a corner lot" player, but even at that nine" and in the words of Bos- well. at that age he showed evi- denoes of his gift which were tC make him famous in after life. These may not be the exact words of Boswell, but it is a fairly good composite of biographical bun combe.
 Baseball Is Business.
 Normal, Ills, is a normal ''medi- um" town, except in one particular. Baseball is the business of the town and the professions, vacations and avocatiOns furnish the relaxation from the game. The Dillon boys, one of whom later was manager or the Los Angeles club of the coast league, were trained on Normal lots and school campuses. The great battery of the ante-curve days, Car. roll and Radburn, who were to that age of the game what Mathewson and Meyers are to the game today, were reared at Normal. though they attained their fame as a pair at Providence.
 Editor Raoul, now a famous free lance editor of California and a fac tor in the politics of that state, was also reared at Normal Baseball players grow at Normal just as novelists do in Indiana, with the slightest provocation.

Ward County Independent.
Gentlemen: I saw In your last
issue that the merchants propose put
ting in a commission house for the
purpose of buying for cash all butter
and eggs and ! suppose all other
farm products and and paying US ac-
cording to the Twin Cities markets,
which would mean after deducting the
freight.
as farmer am against doing any
thing of the kind for several reasons.
In the first place, I have not been
able to get any more groceries for
cash than got in trade of sold tor
cash, must necessarily take less
then I can get in trade and If cash
don't 60 farther than trade, am
loser. ! am speaking OF the amount q
man would get from a weeks make OF
butter on the amount of eggs he would
naturally lay by in that length OF
time. OF course know If a man
took twenty-five of thirty dollars III
cash to merchant at one time, they
would cut prices on most every article
to get that cash, but there are not
very many of us that are taking half
that amount in butter and eggs 20
town every week.
II commission house is establish
cd, some one has got to pay that
commission man. Either the pro-
Queer or the consumer, and it Is my
opinion after they get nicely started
that the producer would pay the
freight to ST. Paul and the consum-
er would pay the freight back again
and that would be on goods that
never left MinOt. If there are any
farmers who wish to, sell their entire
farm products for cash, they might
start in right now and ship to Mime
apolis or st. Paul and see how far
their money would 80 toward buying
the necessaries Of life.
don't believe it will be a good
thing for the merchants Give US
cash for everything and they will
have to sell SO much cheaper, COM
petition would be SO sharp that the

sell for less than they do now. there

The medical men Of this city were
very much exercised Monday when it
was learned that House Bill No. 436
had slipped thru on the last day. They
Immediately got busy and a protest
signed by every physician of the city,
except one, was sent to the Governor
by telegram, asking him to consider
the law we'll before he signed it.
The bin provides that all hospitals
OF the state, whether private or public,
shall be licensed, and in all major
operations, except in emergency cases.
an opinion of the doctors performing
the operation must be filed, and he
must be explicit as to what he is
operating for. In addition, that doc
tor must call in an Independent doc
tor, who makes an examination, and
he also must file an opinion. II any
part of the body is removed in major
operation, that part shall be pre-
served and sent to the state inspector,
to be kept for future reference.
Major operations are not defined in
the bill. Such bill would work
hardship on patients, causing them to
pay on an average of $25 more tor
each operation. It might prove of
benefit, however, if surgeon 10 in

It should be generally known that
there is nothing that taints SO quick

milk is taken from the COW. Let
cream freeze or stand too long, and
the butter becomes bitter. Even
after butter is made, if a person is
not careful is easily becomes tainted.
Sometimes we make fairly good

SUGAR COMMITTEE
BEGINS A TEN-DAY
LAPSE IN INQUIRY
To Examine Another Group
of Magnates, Beginning
July Tenth.

After having made considerable head
way toward establishing the fact that
the American Sugar Refining Company
has large holdings in presumably indie
pendent refineries, the special House
committee investigating the alleged
Sugar trust began a ten days rest pc
riod today. The committee will not re-
sumo its hearings until July 10. when
another group of sugar magnates will
have been summoned.
The committee ordered the recess at
the conclusion of the testimony of
Charles c. Harrison. formerly of the
Franklin Sugar Company, yesterday
afterr DON. Mr.. Harrison testified that
the Franklin had sold out 10 the Have
meyer people in 1892. and that they have
received 100000 common and 5000, 900
preferred stock in the American Com
pany for the Franklin plant, capitalized
at half the amount.
The committee has been at work for
nearly three weeks. and in that time
has established that the American
Sugar Company has large holdings in
the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, the
Michigan Sugar Company, the Western
Sugar Company, built up by Claus
Spreckels, and other smaller concerns.
These holdings were all acquired a
number of years ago, before the death
of Henry Havemeyer. the sugar king.

Following complaints from 10 Of the

Commission today ordered general
investigation of express rates. This ac-

The fling of these new tariffs, it is
said, has nothing to do with the gen

one company and is consigned to an
other point where there Is but one

Presidents Friends Gather
at Station to Give
Welcome.

BEVERLY, Mass, July 1.-An Bev-
erly turned out to greet President Taft

today. They were given an enthusiastic
greeting, and the President appeared
glad to get back, though he will stay
only a short time. .-. .
The private car was switched off on
siding at the Montserrat station,
where a special platform had been built,
and the Presidential party was driven
to Paramatta. the summer home.
The President remained in the South
Dtation at Boston eleven minutes, while
the special car Ideal was taken from
the Federal express. The express was
fifty-siN minutes late. At the station
a detail OF policemen was or hand to
KEEP the crowds back, but there was
little ned. as there was not over forty
persons at the train.
The President had arisen when the
car entered the station. He was dressed
In golf suit, and wore a large checked
cap. With him were Mrs. Taft, Charlie
Taft. Major Archie Butt. and Miss Della
Torrey.
Long before the time set for the Pres
ident to arrive at Moutserrat, crowds
had gathered about the little station to
greet MIN. The President had request
ed there he no demonstration nor dis
play at his arrival at Beverly, and the
greeting though enthusis site. was re-
strained as q result.
Everything was in readiness at Par

GUARD ON MEXICAN
BORDER TO RE MAIN
AS A PRECAUT|0N
Uncle Sam to Withdraw
Only Part of Troops
at Present.

That the Administration Is not yet
satisfied that all is we'll in Mexico, and
intends to maintain an armed watch on
the border, was pointed out today by
officials of the War and Stare Depart
nents, in discussing the withdrawal Of
part of the troops stationed in Texas.
These officials emphasized the fact
that less than half of the soldiers on
guard in Texas are to be withdrawn,
following the authorization of troop
movements by President Taft yester-
day.
1t is felt throughout the Administra-
ton, that there Is still cauPe for anxiety
in the Mexican situation, which re-
uuires the continuation of preparedness
for military activity.
1t is especially desired tnat it be
thoroughly understood by the people on
the other side of the border that a
strong force is remaining in Texas.
Besides the maintenance of the cav
alrv patrol along the Rio Grande. large
bodies of troops will be distributed
throughout Texas. Two companies of
Coast Artillery will remain at Calves
ton. A part of the First Cavalry. all OF
the Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Eleventh
Cavalry Regiments will remain in
Texas either along the border or en-
camped near San Antonio. The entire
Third Field Artillery will remain, and
infantry will stay on at San Antonio.
Two regiments, the Twenty-second and
Twenty-third Infantry, will leave San
Antonio, but will remain N Texas.
