temporarily out OF commission early
this morning by dynamite explosion
on a crossover OF the railroads. The

NEW LAW FOR THE
 SUMMER W|GOWERS

From Thursdays Daily EXaminer)
 The Arizona Democrat says the Leg islature has for consideration the fol lowing bill:
 A bill for the protection of sum- mer widowers under the provisions of the Chase fish and game law will be introduced this afternoon in the house by the committee on militia and pub lie defense. The bill, which was drawn by an eminent Reno divorce lawyer, assisted by Abe Reuf, reads as follows:
 Be it enacted by the Legislature of Arizona:
 That if a woman leave her hus- band for a period of thirty days or more, during the summer months of the year for the purpose of seeking recreation and pleasure elsewhere than her natural abode; spending his hard-earned mOney-or the money Of any other man-teaching to their chil- dren, if any, eXtravagant habits and creating in them a desire for idleness and causing him premature gray hairs by worry at her conduct, running his digestion by enforced irregular eating and causing him to become addicted 10 questionable habits because of a natural desire of mankind for congen- ial company, and jeopardizing his cred it by repeated over-drafts at his bank md failure to pay his laundry bills, and at last driving him to seek solace in the toO-frequent use of the bar check and recourse to the 'chips that pass in the night;
 "Then at the expiration of said thir " days, he shall be entitled to, and is hereby granted his freedom, and up- on the application of any woman whomsoever, either married or un- married, he shall receive letters of guardianship and shall thereupOn be md henceforth and forever remain lnder her sole protection.
 And where it is necessary owing 70 the nearness of the warm weather, n order to preserve his good health, morals and bank accounts of the be- fore mentioned husbands, an emer- gency is hereby declared to exist and this act shall be exempt from the operation of the referendum"

ARIZONA RAILROAD ID
 FIGHT 3 GENT FARE LAW
ATTORNEYS CONTEND THAT THE RATE MAKING IS FOR THE COR PORATION COMMISSION.

Tucson, Arizona, June 19.-(Spe ciaD. That brisk and possibly bitter fight may be made by the railroads of Arizona against the enforcement of the three-cent fare law recently pass ed by the legislature and approved by Governor Hunt, is strongly rumOr- ed here today. E.. w. Clapp, general freight and passenger agent for the Arizona Eastern lines, and assistant general freight and passenger az, mt for the Southern Pacific, left for Phoe- nix last night to attend a conference of railroad officials of variouus iiaes with respect to the new law. At this meeting the details of the bill will e carefully considered, and it is believed that plans for fight against it in tfa 'ouurts of the state or in the federal court, may result.
 Attorneys for the Southern Pacific and for the Arizona Eastern are said to hold that the law is uuncOnSCituUiOn- al in thaJ the legislature took to itself the task of rate-making, which is supposed to be the duty, uE:ler the Constitution, of the Arizona Cor poration Commission solely, ald that the Corporation Commission is sup posed to make new rates only after careful consideration of earnings. the costs of operation, traffic conditions, etc.
 Further than that, it is said to be the belief of the railroad attorneys that an action would properly lie in the federal court upon allegation that the new law is cOnfiscatory as apply ing to interstate commerce.
