Controversy Over Guns.

Members of the vestry are said to be
Of the belief that they are responsible to
the government for the rifles, while Fred
erick NJ. Kerby, major of the Boys Bri-
gade. claims that they were purchased by
the boys from the government, with the
provision that they should not dispose Of
the guns to private dealers. He said the
boys are determined to have the rifles
and believe that the Municipal Court will
turn them over. to the company members
when the case is heard. a neigllboIing
hall, he pointed out, has been secured
and the meetings of the company. which
is sef-supporting, will be held there in
the future. 1t was, also brought out that
the members of the company are assem-
bled from all parts of Southeast WASH
ington, and in many instances are not
communicates of Christ Church.
Mr.. Berry yesterday received a letter
from Bishop Harding, in which he ex-
pressed his views on the matter in ques-
ton.
AT my conference with the vestry of
Washington parish Friday evening" said
the bishop. 1.-The matter of the Boys
Brigade was considered fully. 1t was my
judgment that the Boys Brigade no
longer was to be considered an organiza-
ton Of Washington parish. inasmuch as
it had transgressed the regulations made
that should there be any further miscon-
duct it would be excluded from the parish
hall. But I advised that the rector. who
by the laws of the church has absolute
control OF every organization of this
parish, issue an order to the effect that
the Boys Brigade is disbanded as an
organization OF washington parish.

Commissioners Against Presi-
dent Naming Auditor.
WRITE CHAIRMAN JOHNSON
State Objection to Bill He Has In
troduced in the House.
DESTROYS THEIR PROTECTION
Depend Greatly Upon 0f1cial for Cor
rectness Of All Expenditures,
They Declare.

Following their adverse report last week
on the bill authorizing the President of
the United States to appoint the corpora
ton counsel for the District, the Commits
s1onerS, today, in a communication to
Chairman johnson Of the House District
committee, declare that they also are op-
posed to the bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint the auditor for the Dis
trict. Both measures were introduced in
the House by Mr.. Johnson
The Commissioners believe that every
safeguard necessary to protect the United
States In the expenditure Of appropria-
tons authorized by law for the expenses
OF the District Of Columbia, and In the
collection Of revenue credited to the
United States, is now provided for by ex-
listing law" states the communication.
Among the objections to the bill ex.
pressed by the Commissioners are that
they are to a large extent dependent
upon the auditor for the correctness of
all expenditures certified by them, under
bond, and that to remove the auditing of
these accounts from their jurisdiction and
transfer these functions to federal au-
thority would destroy the protection to
which the Commissioners are entitled in
this respect

Approves Action.

'This, also. is the privilege Of the rector
by the constitution of the Boys Brigade.
AS bishop approved and commended
your action in putting the guns in safe
keeping, SO that they could not be moved
to any place beyond the control Of the
vestry. Inasmuch as you were notified
by the chief Of police that the yestry was
responsible to the War Department for
the safe keeping Of these guns. you did
exactly what your duty compelled you to
30 in preventing them from being re-
moved.
1T was my judgment that the War De-
partment should be notified that the Boys
Brigade had been disbanded. and should
undertake the distribution Of the guns to
the parties entitled to them
Maj kerby was asked what the bishop
meant by his reference to further mis-
conduct" and the reply was that it must
have been noise
Amy crowd of boys he said, will
make a noise sometimes, and l suppose
the members of the company did at times

RAPS BR|STOW BILL
TO CHANGE.
Edwin A. Newman Against His
Proposed Primary Law.
DOESN'T FIT BOTH PARTIES
National Democratic Committeeman
Says Voters Should Have Some
Say in Measure.

Declaring that the Bristow bill to
establish a primary law in the District of
Columbia, should be submitted to the
people of the District, and forecasting
that the democratic primaries in this city
would be conducted on a much higher
plane that the republican primaries just
closed, Edwin A. Newman, national
democratic committeeman has issued a
statement in which he declared the reg
iStration system of his party here makes
it impossible for repeaters to operate
without being detected. While pointing
out his ideas of the defects in the Bris-
tow bill Mr.. Newman took occasion to
criticise the republican balloting Satur-
day.
1.-THE democrats saw the necessity for
some change years ago and provided q
good primary law to regulate this party
i'll the District, and ] am not surprised
that the republicans are just awakening
to the necessity for regulating theirs also.
ut seems to me that II the republicans
of the District, who have no organization.
desire to improve their system it should
be provided for under the control OF the
republican national committee, not under
the supervision of the Commissioners OF
the District of Columbia.
''The proposed primary law Is also sub
ject to this criticism, that it places both
primaries under the direct control of the
District Commissioners. They as rule
are appointed from the party in power,
and it will be manifestly unfair and UNI
just to permit q republican board to reg
ulate the democratic primaries, or vice
versa.
Other comment on the primary ques-
tfon and the proposed Bristow bill made
by Mr.. Newman follows:

Depend Much Upon Auditor.


1.-THE Commissioners, under the bonds
given by them as required by the act
of Congress approved June II, 1873, to
faithfully perform their duties, are re-
sponsible for the proper expenditure Of
appropriations made for the support OF
the government of the District Of Column
bia. They are required to certify to the
correctness of all expenditures made
from SUCH appropriations It Is mani
testify impracticahle Tor the Commission
ers to be conversant with the details or
all such expenditures. and they are con-
sequently to a large extent dependent
upon the auditor Of the District or
Columbia for the correctness of all ex-
penditures certified by them. To re-
move the auditing of these accounts from
the jurisdiction of the Commissioners
and transfer these functions to federal
authorities would destroy the protection
to which the Commissioners are entitled
In this respect. Under the present law,
the auditor OF the District Of Columbia
is appointed by them, and is responsible
to them for his acts under q bond Whlch
the auditor is required by law to rur-
nish.
"In the executive departments of the
federal government and in the independ-
emit governmental establishments, such
as the government printing office, II 1s q
requirement of law, under the terms OF
the Dockery act that created the present
system Of government accounting, that
each such executive department ana
other independent establishment should
provide an administrative force for the
examinations of all expenditures per
tanning to such offices and establish.
ments. The auditor Of the District OF
Columbia performs. for the Commission
ers the same duties, and it would seem
that there is Just as much reason for
having such an official for the District
of Columbia, which is separate munic-
ipal establishment, as there is for hay
ing them for the executive departments
Of the federal government"

Would Duplicate Offices.

The passage of the bill, say the Com
misstoners. simply would provide another
federal Office to perform the same duties,
as, under the present law, they declare,
the auditor for the State and other de-
partments, who is federal officer. audits
all accounts Of the District of Columbia.
The communication, in part, Is as fol-
lows:
I'm addition to auditing all expenditures
authorized by law for the expenses of the
District government, and auditing the
revenue and income collected for the sup
port of the local administration, the audi
tor Of the District Of Columbia is also the
accounting officer of the District, as rec
Ords of all expenditures, obligations, liza
bilities and resources are kept in his Of
fee, under his immediate direction and
control. Further. under the law the &C
counts Of the disbursing officer Of the
District of Columbia must be prepared
and stated by the auditor for the District
of Columbia and transmitted to the &C
counting officers of the Treasury. No
the District is valid unless countersigned
by the auditor. The accounts Of the col
lector Of taxes, who is charged with the
collection Of revenue, and the accounts Of
all departments under the District of Co
lumbia where any revenue Of any kind
originates are periodically examined and
audited by the auditor of the District Of
Columbia.
The auditor of the District of Column
bia is the chief financial officer of the
District Of Columbia and the principal
adviser To- the. Commissioners on mat
ters OF local finance.

Difference in Primaries.

Difference in Primaries.
Senator Bristow in his bill and in pub
lished interviews in which he so drasticaI-
lY criticises our District primaries as at
present held should, however, but did
not, make a distinction between the
method of holding the republican pri-
marfes, of which we have just had SO
striking an example, and the primaries
which have heretofore been held by the
democrats in the District of Columbia.
The difference III the me nod of procedure
and the manner with which they are con-
Quoted are as the difference between rep
resentative government and no govern
ment at all.
II welcome the day when the people of
the District can elect convention dele
gates, national committeeman and other
representatives by a direct primary law,
but l contend that when this primary
law is provided for the people of the
District the people who are most inter-
ested should have something to say as to
its provisions and regulations. 1t is hard
ly fair for the senator from Kansas to
introduce bill which he may think will
give us primary law without at least
first consulting the people who are to be
governed by 1t. Their wishes and not the
mere opinion of the senator should pre-
vail. 1t is. indeed, an open question
whether the democrats Of the District
would prefer direct primary to. their
present convention system.

State PePnitentiary is Place to Send

Under the new law recently become effective, a man who deserts his wife and family and who fails to provide for them can be seut to the peniten- tiary. This is one of the best laws, so far as the poor women are con cerned, that could have been passed Under the old law six months in jail was the limit that could be given.
 Justice Comstock has a case in his court where the man. young Mexi- can, had deserted his wife and baby. He was told several months ago to give the wife a. e. tain sum eacr month for her maintenance. He d.d this once or twice and then negl e:t ed it. Judge Comstock sent the young man and his parents word that the new law was in effect and that un less the wife was supported the young man would go to the state prison That brought them into court yester day and they fixed the matter to the satisfaction of the judge
 There are a few other cases in the city that will receive the same sor of treatment.

UN[TEDSTATESA ARMY MEN ARE UNDER
 ARREST
Officers Responsible for Searching Hotel in Mexico Taken in Gus
 tody by Sheriff Wheeler.
RACE FEELlNee IS VERY UGLY.

DOUGLAS, Oct. 1.--As a result of the raid on a local hotel Sunday by American and Mexican secret service men, assisted by a Suuad of. negro troopers of the Ninth D.. s. Cavalry. Manuel Cuesta, Mexican consul at Douglas and Powel Roberts, chief of the Mexican government secret serv- ice here, four officers of the United States army were arrested late today. The arrests were made by the county authorities, led by Sheriff Harry Wheeler, who came here from the county seat for the purpose of in- vestigating charges made by D.. J.. Ganardina, proprietor of the Hotel Mexico. There is general excitement among the Americans and Mexicans here as a result of the raid and sub- sequent arrests.
 Feud Exists.
 The 6eud between the military and civil authorities began with the re- quest, some days ago, for the arrest of Joaquin Esquiera, supposed rebel leader. The county officials refused to make the arrest. OuHudy ulSHl secret service agents, ts,accompanied by a squad of negro soldiers, went to the Motel Mexico, where it was reported 'Esquiera was living. Despite the protests of the proprietor of the ho- tel, who demanded a search warrant, it is alleged that the Mexican secret agents entered the hotel and searched twenty-three rooms.
 Charges Assault.
 Esquirea was not found. Ganar- dina, the landlord, charges he was as- saulted by soldier. Hearing of the case, Sheriff Wheeler, of Tombstone today consulted attorneys and Jus tice Ben Rice, who issued warrants He said the statute supported the court, warranting the arrests of the officials.
 There has been ill-feeling here over the presence of negro troops here since some disorders shortly after the regiments arrival few weeks ago.

BEEF CATTLE. IS
 FOUND IN PLENTY
E. A. Tovrea Returns After Weeks Trip of Buying in Southern Ari-
 zona and Mexico
MAKES TRIP IN AN AUTOMOBILES

BISBEE-Declaring that the cattle ranges in southern Arizona and north ern Sonora were better now than he had seen them in fifteen years, E. A Tovrea returned to the city Monday after an absence of more than week, during which he was in Santa Cruz county and in Mexico after beef cat tie required for his butcher business here and to fill important beef con tracts.
 Makes Trip in Auto.
 Mr. Tovrea made the trip in his automobile, and was accompanied by Mrs. Tovrea. He said he found the roads passable, but that they were generally in need of repair work. As result of the splendid condi- ton of the range, it was easy to find beef where there were any cattle. but he declares that northern Mexico has been pretty well cleared of cat tie, and that thousands had been brought to this side of the line on account of the disturbed conditions in that country.
 Supplies Beef to Graders.
 MT. Tovrea is now supplying beet to the tracklaying and bridge gangs of men on the Tucson extension of the Southwestern, to the grading camps on the Fort Huahuca branch and to the men now laying an eight inch pipe line from Garden Canyon to Fort Huaehuca, and visited all these camps during his absence, where he says he found the work mak ing good progress.
 MT. Tovrea says the cattlemen are holding their stock for top-notch prices, which is somewhat discoruag ig for those requiring beef. He is of the opinion that prices will be as high or higher next spring at ship ping time as last year, when year lings sold for $22.00.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
Expected Economies from Combina-
 tion" Do Not MateriaIize.

(Louis D. Brandeis in Collier's.)
 Leaders of the new (Third Term) party argue that industrial monopo- lies should be legaIixed. lest we lose the efficiency of large-scale production and distribution. No argument could be moro misleading.
 It may be safely asserted that in America there Ia no line of business fn which au CT most concerns or plants must be concentrated in order to attain the stse of greatest em- eiency. For whils . business may bs too small to bs efac4snt, s1nctency does not STOW fAdsAnitsly wtth tneFeassng sise. What the most soaeGsnt size is can 'be learned definitely only by ex- psrisnos.; The unit of sreatsst en- clancy is reached when tho disadvan- tagss of sizs connterbAlancs the ad- vantages. The unit of greatest ed% otency is exceeded when the d1sadr vantagss Of size outweigh the advanr taseG. Tho history of American trusts makes this, clear. That history shows:
 Ffrst-No conspicuous American trust owes its existence to the desire for increased enciency. Expected economies from combination" figure largely in promoters prospectuses: but they have never been compell- ing motive in the formation of any trust. On the contrary, the purpose of combining has often been to curb efa- ciency or even to preserve fnefa- ciency, thus frustrating the natural law of the survival of the Attest.
 Second-No conspicuousiy profits ble trust owes it's profits largely to superior efficiency. Some trusts have been very efficient, as have some in dependent concerns; but conspicuous profits have been secured mainly through control of the market through the power of monopoly to hz | prices-through this exercise of the taxing power.
 Third-No conspicuous trust hal been efficient enough to maintain long as against the independents its pro portion of the business of the country without continuing to buy up, from time to time, its successful comped tors.
