TWO CONCERNS
 REALLY ONE
Contention of Government as to the s. P. and Oregon & California in Suit to Recover 2,3OO,0Oo Acres Of Land
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

PORTLAND, Sept. 4-The taking of testimony was resumed today in the governments suit against the Southern Pacific Railroad company to recover possession of 2,30O,000 acres of land, most of which is in Oregon.
 Assistant Auditor Robert Adams of the Southern Pacific company was called upon to explain some financial statements of the Southern Pacific and the Oregon and California roads, which he filed as evidence These had to do with the bond issues of the Southern Pacific company and the accounts kept by the Southern Pacific company with the Oregon and California in connection with mortgage given by the latter to the former company secured by a bond issue placed through the agency of the Union Trust company of New York
 In the statement of the accounts between the Southern Pacific and the Oregon and California, based upon the supplementary lessee of 1893 were found a large number of charges that had been made against the Oregon and California which the govern ments counsel contends should not be- made
 On cross examination, Special Dis trict Attorney Townsend brought out that the Oregon and California stock was owned almost wholly by the Southern Pacific yet the lease was maintained which has a nominal an- nual rental of $5O00 for the Oregon and CalifOrnia's property
 Assistant Auditor Adams did not find where this nominal charge had ever been paid, which the govern ment seized upon as further evidence that the two railway concerns are one to all intents and purposes.

Proposes an Ideal Plan Which Would Admit All Immigrants Who Come to These Shores of Their Own Volition
CONCRETE PLAN
 DIFFERENT THING
Departing From His Inten- tion to Make No Political Speeches He Addresses a New York Wilson Work ingmen's Club
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-GOVernOr Wilson for the first time in New York city spoke as democratic nom- inee for the presidency tonight in his first political address in the metropo- lis delivered at a dollar dinner of the Woodrow Wilson Workingmen' s league. Before going to dinner he met two score editors of foreign language newspapers at the National Arts club, and talked immigration with them.
 If we can hit upon a standard which admits every voluntary immi- grant" said he, it excludes those who have not come of their own vo- lition with their own purpose of mak- ing home, and career for themselves, but have been induced by steamship companies, and others to come. in order to pay passage money, then we will have what we all will agree upon as average Americans"
 T am not saying I would out of hand frame legislation which would meet this ideal. I am Oanly saying that it is ideal and that is what we ought to hold ourselves to. My in terest in immigration is to see that the immigrant is properly informed and properly sa foRUarded gainst ip- position of every Kind whether by the government or anybody else, and is directed to a place where he can attain the objects he has come for with the greatest advantage to him. self
 That, to my mind, is the solution of the immigration problem. Of course, if immigrants were allowed to come unrestricted to ports and stop at ports where they enter and there compete in the over supplied labor market there is going to he unhappi- ness, deterioration, everything that will be detrimental to the community as well as detrimental to the immi- grant"

 About three weeks ago, Crowell had a petition circulated praying that he be permitted to come to Red Rock to conduct his business Ga saloon business), which the board of su- pervisOrs of Pinal county has per mitted to be continued notWithstand- ing a petition was filed with them. bearing nearly a hundred signatures praying them to discontinue the same.

 This is an outrage and an insult to the people of this community and to the state of Arizona.
