 Further action on the protest against the force account method of doing the crOss-cut power plant in stalIation is looked for today.

ARMS CASES ID
 COME UP TODAY
Some Interesting Points to Be Brought Out ill trial of First Neutrality Case in the Federal Court This Morning

Nothing remaining of the Alexander case except the formal motions of dismissal of charges by the prosecu- tion, the decks are cleared for the big neutrality cases, or as they are better known the arms shipment cases, in federal court
 Far more widespread interest will be taken in this mornings action than in the little preliminary ses- sions, wherein the usual procedure of indictment. arraignment demurrer filing, protest, objection, exception amendment and re-indictment was duly gone through with. Witnesses from far off New Haven and the metropolis are either here or on their way to Phoenix to testify in the arms cases" Members of the man agerial departments of the Winchest- CT and Remington arms companies will be questioned on the witness stand here, to show the origin and destination of certain large ship ments of guns and cartridges.
 Special agents of the United States government are on the ground with carefully gathered evidence, and the defendants and their attorneys are just as busy on their side of the cases.
 It will be the conspiracy charges that will receive attention today. The trial of one or more of these cases may be inaugurated as early as this morning. Judge SaWtelle will prob ably announce his decision regarding the demurrers filed against indict- ments on direct charge against the Phelps Dodge, Douglas Mercantile company, Steinfeld company, Krak auer Fork and Move. Shelton Payne arms company and many individuals
 Information received yesterday has it that between January l. 1912, and November 1, 1913, different persons and corporations shipped in all ten thousand military rifles to the MeXi can border and that in all 6.500000 rounds of special military cartridges were transported to and part of that amount across the line.
 United States Attorney Morrison, who will conduct the case for the government is basing a good deal of his hope of conviction on the simil arity between his charges and those brought and sustained against ChaVes in the case which went to the Su- preme Court of the United States.
 Regarding Judge SaWtelle's decision on the sufficiency of the direct charge indictments, there can be no hint until he announces in open court his ruling. So in reality, there are

An Open Letter To The
 Telephone Using Public

Denver, Colo, November 30, 1913.
 The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, in the consider ation of it's future development, rec ognizes that it's highest interests as public utility lie in establishing the closest and most friendly relationship with the public generally, and with it's patrons in particular; therefore, it is the purpose of The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, through this announce ment, to inaugurate what may be termed an advertising educational series of articles, both in the news papers and in the form of letters to it's customers. It is our hope that this campaign may mark a new era in the relation of public utility cor porations to the public they serve. We want this education to work both ways-that the public may learn the truth about us, and that we may learn how the public regard us, and how we may fairly and efficiently serve the public-in other words, what is just and right to us and to the people and to convince the pub lie that We will voluntarily remedy any wrongs we are doing, if pointed out to us.
 We shall show you our financial affairs, frankly and freely It so hap pens that our financing has been of such a nature that it is easy for us to clearly show to you this side Of our affairs. What we mean by this is, that We have absolutely no water in our stock; we have no bonds, nor any preferred stock, and no mortgage of any kind upon which to pay fixed
 
 our plant at it's issue of common stock, and we have no other stock issued than the common stock. There are no wheels within wheels, nor companies within companies, to ab- sorb profits. We finance ourselves from year to year by selling our common stock to the people, at not less than par, in the states in when we operate.
 When we tell you the story of our financing. we will prove to you that there never have been any fortunes large or small, made out of the man ipulation of our stOck-in other words, no high financing has ever been done in connection with The Mountains States Telephone and Telegraph Company. or its predeces- sors. The stock never has had any speculative value; it has been. and is now. simply a safe investment
 There is a great misunderstanding upon the part of the public as to this side of our business Persons with uterior motives, striving for office. and newspapers wishing to give startling news (see note beloW) freuuently publish stories of how rich certain officials of our company are. Right now, this is being done in connection with the new revenue tax. We suppose these stories grow out of the belief of certain of the public that the executive officials ol our company own the entire plant II is absurd, for these executive o1- ficials of our company are merely trustees of the property, for the stockholders, and none of them are rich men, nor have they very heavy holding of the stock It is true that certain reputed rich men have large holdings of the stock of our com pany-some of them being on our Board of Directors-but not one of them has made any money Whatso- ever out of dealing in our stock

For the last week the sheriff's office has been busily engaged subpoening witnesses and summoning jurors so that no delay will be encountered when the case is called Twice previously the case has been continued, the last time being scarcely a month ago.
 It is understood that there will be a number of interesting developments in the case during the presentation of the evidence for the prosecution, the county attorneys office, how ever, has been very careful not to talk about these particular develop ments, it is understood they will be a distinct surprise.
 Officer Charles Harris, who had obtained a reputation as a terror to box car thieves and criminals gen orally during the course of his duty as special officer for the Arizona Eastern, was killed while in the dis charge of his duty, by being stabbed in the neck with a sharp knife Gar cia was arrested the next morning after the trail had been followed from the place of the death of Harris to the bush where Garcia lay.
