measures affecting corporations and
more particularly the railroads. They
are.
A three-eent railroad fare.
A fnn crew on light engines and
trains.
Limiting the number of cars in a
train. Ss
Requiring electric headlights.
Requiring three years experience
for locomotive engineers.
The Tucson Citizen advises its read.
ers to vote mo- on these measures.
Generally speaking. the reason for
this is simple. The reasons given by
the Citizen for its advice. to our mind
are sound and worthy the considera>
iion of all who desire justice and pros
perty for Arizona railroads. The Citi-
zen says; ssE
The railroads are euasi-public cor.
lorations. Under the strict rsgula
tons 10 which they are now sub
jected by Law every added expense of
operation must eventually be bornc
Iy the shipper and passenger.
"Eveiy one OF the measures except
the scent fare bill, means great in
crease in the cost of operation work
which the public must eventually pay.
IF any one of these measures is
necessary TO public safety the cor
poration commission car require it By
simple order This commission has
ample powers. IT. members are paid
to study these problems and are more
competent to pass on them than the
general public
"Arizona 5 condition makers created
a corporation commission with unlim-
tied powers for just this purpose and
unless they feel that the men who
compose this body are insufficient or
untrustworthy, they should leave
these measures to them.
The Citizen is frank to say that
the arguments of the railroads on
the three-cent fare measure do not
sound reasonable, but this is mat.
ter for expert opinicl and should be
threshed out before the corporation
commission. IL after determining the
! revenues and expenses of the rail
roads for passenger business, it is
found by the commission that they
can earn fair Dividend on three.
cent fare, the commission Can issue
an order to that effect.
Either these ores ions should BE-
left TO the expert opinion of the com
mission or that bods should be abo,-
ished.
The Citizen can easily conceive that
the commission might on hearing tes-
timony conclude that a three-cent
fare is reasonable and proper, but the
other FIVE referendum measures are SC
absurd that no fair-mtndet body
would impose such burdens on the
railroads and on the general public

San Jose, Cali, Sept. 30.-Seventy-
five thousand dollars worth of buried
treasure was unearthed by Mext-
can banker of Ensenada, State OF
Sonora, from a mountain ridge in

map true in every detail to the topo-
graphy of the section explored for the
treasure. Two Mexican lahorers ac-
panied the banker and dug out the
treasure chest-an iron bound oak af-
fair, partly rotted with age. It. was
discovered eight feet under ground at
the foot of hugh oak tree. The treas
ure consisted of $4,000 in silver bullion
and 500 600 in gold ingots.
1t is believed the money was buried
by a Mexican outlaw named VasQuez,
whose band operated in that region
half d century ago.

THEY MAKE DENIAL.
Officers Taft League Deny Dealings
With Democrats.

President Dean and Secretary Clark
of the Taft league deny emphatically
today the charge that they confer
with the Democrats on campaign
matters. In a statement they say:
We note that the Topeka Capital in
this mornings editorial, charges that
the chairman of the Republican Par
Democratic state central committee
frequently consult with each other
concerning the policies to be pursued
by their respective organizations.
We desire to brand that statement
as an unqualified falsehood. The
chairman of the Democratic state cen
trail committee has never been in
these headquarters. Neither has
either the chairman or any other Of
ficer of this organization ever con-
suited with the chairman or any
other officer of the Dem ocratic state
central committee relative to any mat
ter relating to the campaign. We
have no affiliation whatever with the
Democratic party organization.
Can the organization at the other
end of the street, claiming to be Re
publican, say as much? Did White
(the official representative of the
Bull Moose Organization) tell the
truth when he stated that between
seV enty and ninety of the so-called
Republican chairmen of our county
were WOEklIlS with MIN
Did Stubs invite White to partici-
pate in the conference of the So
called Republican leaders at the gov
ernOr's mansion on the night prior to
the day on which the party council
was held? Is it not a fact that the
head of the so-called Republican
state committee and Stubbs and Cap
per are frequently in consultation
with, and working with, White, who
is the manager and conducting the
campaign for the Bull Moosers in

HadIey's UItimatum Brings No
Reply From Beverly.
He Asks for Inducements to Get
OF the Fence.

St. Louis. Sept. 30.-Gov. Hadley, of
Missouri said today over the telephone
from Jefferson City. that in his atu-
tude toward President Taft he stood
exactly where his speech of Saturday
night showed him to stand. Regard
ing the telegram which Otto F. Stifel
a member of the advisory committee
of the Republican national committee
sent to Taft stating that Gov. Hadley
had indorsed Taft in his speech the
governor said:
1T is silly to undertake to construe
nv words in the way Mr.. Stofel is said
to have done"
The governor specified particularly
in reference to lis speech the para
graphs in which he said that President
Taft if he should promise to use his
influence for the correction of bossism
in Southern states and for the enact
ment of presidential primary laws,
would deserve support.
President Taft heard at Beverly from
Otto F. Stifel, a Taft leader in st.
LC uis, that { Overnor Hadley of Mis-
souri,, was now committed to the Taft
candidacy. The president had been in
formed late Saturday night by tele-
phone and telegraph that Gov. Hal
ley had refused to indorse his candi-
dacy unless the president came out in
favor of presidential preference primar-
les and Embossed" Southern represen-
alton in Republican conventions. The
president refused to discuss these ques-
tICns over The telephone with Mr.. Stifel,
and had nothing to say about Cover
nor Hadley's attitude.
The HadIey Ultimatum.
Governor Herbert 5. Hadley nearly
got down off the fence here Saturday
night The latest returns indicate that
the governor is almost for Taft for
president.
The state campaign opened here
and Hadley was billed as one of the
speakers Ever since the Chicago con-
' ention Hadley's attitude toward
President Taft has been one Of con-
lecture. Bull Moose organs have
claimed his influence for Roosevelt,
but HadIey apparently sought to find
a quiet retreat between the two camps.
Members of the state committee were
unable to declare authoritatiVely
where the governor stood and it was
decided to summon him before the
committee and insist upon him show
ing his hand-to force him to say
whether he is for Taft or for Roose-
Welt
If the governor could be. pinned
down to a statement as to where he
stands-and in case he should be for
Taft=then he was to be permitted to
address the meeting If he should de-
clare for Roosevelt the committee
would permit him to go his way and !
LET him fight for the success Of the
Bull Moose ticket.
After a day of wrangling, he caused
to be sent TO President Taft an ultima
tunn that the president answer imme-
diately whether he would have laws

ginning of hearings that We're expect
ed to bring many of the leading fin
anciers, politicians and candidates to
the witness stand during the next two
months. Col. Theodore Roosevelt and
J. Pierpont Morgan were scheduled
to step into the spot light later this
week, the financier appearing Thurs
day and Col. Roosevelt on Friday.
Ormsby McHarg, contest manager for
Col. Roosevelt at the Chicago conVea-
ton and who organized the south for
the colonel was on hand. his story
of the preconvention campaign and of
the contests he managed for Presi-
dent Taft in 1908 campaign was ex-
pected to be the chief testimony. G.

H Hartman and Charles a. Peabody,
Mrs. Harriman's personal counsel
were to produce any papers they
might have in connection with the al
legged raising of $250,0OO in Wall
street by Hartman for the Roosevelt
fund in 1904.
Cornelius n. Bliss, jr., son of the
treasurer of the Republican campaign
committee in 1904 was called to pro-
duce any papers in the files of his
fathers estate bearing on the charge
that Col. Roosevelt acquiesced in the
acceptance of the 100000 from the
Standard Oil interest in 1904 and in
further demand for $3.50, 900 from the
same source.
Bliss Is Called.
Senators Clapp. Oliver, Paynter and
Pomerene were present when the
committee went into session. M
Bliss was the first witness. He said he
was an executor of his fathers estate
and had sole custody of his fathers
papers
Have you found any papers bear
ing on the campaign funds handled ly
your father" asked Chairman Clapp.
Mr. Bliss placed in evidence a re-
port from the auditor who examined
his fathers accounts when he resigned
as treasurer of the Republican COM
mittee. He said the record did not
show any contribution by Arch bold or
the Standard Oil company. Members
of the committee examined the rec
ords.
No names of contributors to The
1904 campaign fund appeared in the
his fathers letter of resignation 10
Harry s. New, which also had been
placed in evidence
The letter set forth that the late
