Bisbee Attorney Is Home From JOurreT to

 SeabOard
ALL TALK OF POLITICS

Twenty nine hours behind schedule time between Chicago and Fl Paso F. F.. Ellinwood arrived in Bisbee yes terday morning having experienced 9 trying trip from the Atlantic sea. board to his home city MT. Ellinwood states that here in Arizona We can lit. lie understand the suffering and in. convenience that the exceptional cold of the present winter has occasioned in the east and middle west. From the start of his homeward journey until his arrival in Fl. Paso he ex. perienced delay and demoralization of railroad time schedules until his arrival in Fl Paso, the first part of his journey to be made on schedule time being the last stage.
 Mir Ellinwood stated yesterday morning that on the trip from New York to Pittsburgh on the Iron Linn tied he was delayed six hours. From Pittsburgh to Chicago on the Penn sylvania's Chicago limited, he was delayed nine hours. Leaving Chicago for the west was story of continued delays Occasioned by cold and snows The train was twenty nine hours be- hind schedule when it reached Fl PasO.
 Conditions were found to be worse in Kansas than other stages of the trip. There has been intense cold, it was r below zero in Kansas city when MT EllenwOod was there. and there have also been heavy falls of snow which was light and fine, owing to the low temperature. This blows into the cuts as fast as they are clear ed and added to the fact that rails have become of glassy smoothness sible.
 Business lnterfered With
 Mir. Ellinwood says that the cold has interfered with general business through the east and occasion a quiet ness of conditions with general bus mess through the east and occasion a quietness of conditions which would not otherwise be experienced Con- gressiOnal investigations he did not consider as having any serious ef- fleets upon general business, the fu- ture policy Of the government being more considered than the present.

 Opinion among local lawyers seems to be that the delay occasioned by the several contests that have been initiated is uncalled for Some of them hold that the vote and the contests should be certified 10 the rresident. and the contests thrashed out later. All that the president Is interested in is the "tin-canning" of the recall
 While the delay will have the ef- feet of tying up all litigation, other lawyers. not elected officials. still have their 'retainers," which they may retain indefinitely.
