EIFFEL TOWER IS
CENTER OF WIRELESS
Great Structure Which Recently Was

Center of Electric Activity

Great Structure Which Recently Was
Considered Useless Has Become
Center of Electric Activity.
Paris, France, oct 27-The famous
Eiffel tower or Paris the highest steel
structure of its kind in the world, was
about TO be torn down several years
ago on account of its uselessness. To-
day II IS regarded as one OF Frances
most valuable possessions. The French
capital, because of the Eiffel tower,
has become the wireless center OF the
world
Underneath the Champ de Mars, in
which the tower stands, a vast sub
terranean wireless plant has been con-
structed. Its presence is scarcely sus-
pected by the passerby, for its only
entrance is little more than a trapdoor
IN the ground, partly concealed by a
clump OF trees. But should ne attempI
to approach too near the little iron
staircase leading under ground, he will
find his way barred by soldiers.
Below ground, amid a maze Of pass
ages; gigantic machines and contin-
ual cracking and flashing of the wire

electrical experts are working day and
night to perfect Instruments on the
accuracy of whose messages in war
time may depend Frances victory or

Holbrook, Ariz, Oct. 27.-When H.
Msders, of Tavapai county, recently
sold to George Day and Levi Young, of
Phoenix, a range steer for SIS, it was
supposed that the new record would
stand for some time But already
there is a new record. 1t was set
when Slaughter Bros sold to E. P
Fuller. of Les Angeles, one range steer
for $3.50.
Mader's steer weighed 1850 pounds
but il was rather lean and needed
several months feeding to put him in
shape for the block The Slaughter
steer weighed 1910 pounds, was beef
fat and brought six cents a pound.
During the present shipping season
5000 mead of cattle have been shipped
from the stations of Holbrook and
Navajo. principally to Colorado points.
About 10000 more are to go out be-
fore November Is. Owing to the
scarcity of feed cattlemen are selling
off their herds, and they regard them
selves as exceedingly fortunate to be
able to sell them for high prices.

WAR NAY BREAK
OUT IN EUROPE
Count Mitte Finds the Situation
Serious.
MADE TOUR or CONTINENT.
He Places His Chief Hope For the
Prevention Of War In the Char
acter and Intentions OF
Emperor William.

ST. Petersburg Count Witte, who
has recently returned from a tour OF
several of the more important Eu-
ropean capitals. says there is a grave
prospect of q great European war,
Count Witte said the general situa-
ton in Europe impressed him as
ominous and he was especially inn
pressed by the easy manner in which
the German government succeeded in
having the increased military budget
passed by the Reichstag and the
promptitude with which the upper
class in Germany responded to the
financial appeal made to them in con-
nectiOn with the great military plans.
He was also surprised at the great
resistance shown In France to the
three years compulsory military sery-
ice bill and the lack of enthusiasm
over the new loan, which really was
the cause of its abandonment and the
fall of the Barthou ministry.
"The situation to my mind is ex-
tremely grave" said Count White.
THE only hope have of general
European war being averted is my
knowledge of the character and in
tentions Of Emperor William. He has
declared that so long as he lives he
will not permit a general war to break
out in Europe. II the situation is
taken in hand early enough he may be
able to prevent such a war; If not.
dread to think what would follow. In
any event, now that Alexander III. is
no more, Europe must look to the Ger
man Emperor as the strongest sup
porter Of world peace.

The splendid thoroughfare, Avenue
Louise, is also located in the new part
Of the town. 1t is tastefully laid OUT
with flower beds and decorated by
statues Of many famous Belgians.
Part way down the hill to the old
part of the town stands wonderful
church, the Cathedral of st. Gudule. 1t

splendid monument of the religious art

Grand Place-on which every house

The Hotel de Vile, which occupies
one side of the square, is one of the
most magnificent edifices in the world.
1t is very much ornamented with
statues and pillars. On the tVp is a
gigantic "St. Michael overcoming the
Devil" which acts as a weather vane
and seems to soar over the city which

Warns Merchants OF chihuahua That
They Must Pay Him Large
Amounts To support the
Revolution.

El Paso, transformations Ger
mans and Spaniards from Chihuahua,
Mexico, report that Francisco Villa,
the rebel leader. virtually mad con-
stituted himself dictator there, and
that he refused to heed the requests
Of representatives of foreign govern
ments.
They asserted that the rebel leader
had seized $5,000,000 worth of prop
erty belonging to foreigners, had put
to death about 20 Mexican civilians,
including Sergeic Sanchez. lawyer
and former state official, and had com
manded the American, German and
British consuls to obey rebel ORDERS.
The happenings in Chihuahua since
villa occupied the city on its eyacua-
ton by the federal troops, as given
by the refugees, who numbered 1000
were:
Villa seized large department
store, valued at $4,000 and owned
by French. German, English and
Spanish interests, but chiefly by the
Spanish, and placed in command of
the store General Chao. rebel leader.
He also seized q brewery, cloth
ing factory and an the grocery and
other stores owned by Spaniards,
valued at $3,500,000.
Holds Up Merchants.
He called meeting of merchants of
all nationalities and told them they
must pay him. large sums of money.
aggregating several million dollars, to
support the revolution.
He gave orders that the so-called
constitutional money should be ac-
cepted as currency.
Villas expulsion Of citizens of Spain,
all of whom were progressive mer-
chants, was on pain of death. He at
first informed them they must be out
Of the country within five days, but
Letter. after an appeal by Harry
Scobell. the British vice consul, he ex-
tended the time to 10 days. None of
the Spaniards were allowed to take
anything except personal effects, and
they were told never to return.
The capture and Imprisonment of
Luis Terrazas, Jr., son of rich land
owner, was after Terrazas had sought
refuge in the British vice consulate,
and after the rebels informed Mr..
Scobell they would break down the
British vice consulate unless Terrazas
was released.
Marion Letcher, the United States
consul. was asked by the foreigners to
protect them. Mr.. Letcher attempted
to send cipher message to the State
Department, but was informed by Villa
that no cipher messages would be per-
.mitted on the rebel telegraph. Villa
then informed the foreign consuls in a
body that they would have to obey
rebel orders.

ORDERED TO
CEASE FIRING
FederaIs and Rebels Obey
Order of American Admiral.
HALT in BATTLE OF TAMP'cO..
combatants Told BY Admiral He
Would Open Fire On Them With
Guns OF Wheeling If Orders
Were Not obeyed.

Mexico City.-Rear-Admiral Fetch
er, commander of the American naval
forces in Mexican waters. ordered the
rebels and Federals fighting at
Tampico to cease firing, threatening
to open upon them with the guns Of
the gunboat Wheeling if his order was
not obeyed. Both sides complied with
the order.
This information is contained in a
dispatch received by Sir Lionel Car
den, the British Minister, from Rear
Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock. of
the British cruiser Berwick, which is
lying off Tampico. AZ
The Federals hold the centre of the
town of Tampico and the water front.
Rear-Admiral Fletcher has ordered
foreigners to take refuge ON board
ships or to congregate on the water
front whore they viii be under the
protection Of his guns.
Rebel Force Double FederaIs.
How many rebels are engaged in the
attack on Tampico is not known. but
it is estimated that their number is at
least twice that of the Federals and
their operations indicate that they ex
pect more men from Victoria, capitAl
of the State Of Tamaulipas, which Lies
half way between Tampico and
Monterey to the north. The rebels
who are in possession of yards and
shops and large stores of material
and equipment have actually detach-
ed from their lines suficient men to
undertake repairing the railroad north
and west from Tampico toward Vic
toria. The damage that has been
done this line, while enough to pre-
vent the operation of trains, is not SO
great that it will long delay a re-
sumption Of traffic. Most of the de-
stroyed bridges being small ones can
be easily replaced. Repairs to the
road southwark from Victoria also are
being rushed, and 1t is not improbable
that the rebels will be able to trans
port fresh troops and additional artil-
lery supplies there before the govern
ment can get reinforcements to the
port.

washington. Besides disclosing
plans for an extensive investigation
into the economic features Of the
trust problem, Secretary Redfield, of
the Department of Commerce, in his
first annual report recommends legis-
lation to set up the presumption that
all restraints Of trade are unreason-
able and to place the burden of estab-
fishing the reasonableness of the re-
straint upon the person alleging 1t, to
prohibit intorlocking directorates, to-
prohibit watering" Of stocks and to
prohibit corporations and persons
from owning stocks in or controlling
competing companies.

ton Of whether trusts are efficient to

important relation to President Will
sons legislative program. Secretary
Redfield discusses it exhaustively and
substantially outlines his views as
follows:
There is a growing question in the
minds of experienced and thoughtful
men as to whether the trust form Of
organization is industrially efficient
and whether bigness and bulk are all
ways necessary to production at the
lowest cost. 1t may be conceded that
.massing of capital and the grouping
Of great quantities of labor have GER
tain elements Of efficiency. But 1t is
doubtful. at best, whether these favor
able elements are all the factors that
exist and whether there does not come
point Of maximum efficiency at mimi
mum cost beyond which an increase Of
product means an increase Of cost per
unit Of that product.
1T is significant that some Of the
great trusts have ceased to exist; that
others pay but moderate dividends, If
any, on their securities, and that. side
by side with the most mighty and sup
posedly the most efficient of them.
have grown up independent organiza-
tons quite as successful and perhaps
earning even more upon their capital
than their powerful competitors.
The purpose of the Bureau of Cor
porations is to study patiently that we,
may know whether these bulky things
that we have SO much feared are in an
economic sense real giants in strength
or whether they are but images with
feet Of clay.
ut is important that we should
know the truth about the fixing of re-
tail prices and as to whether giving
shs privilege of SO fixing the prices to

or does not SO tend"

streets are still thronged with people.
Men and women were standing on
the curb even at that late hour selling
papers that were covered with num-

wards that these papers were lottery
tickets and fine automobile was to
be the prize for the lucky one.

Brussels is divided into two parts,
an upper and lower section. The
latter is the old part Of the city and
the commercial center, where are all
the big shops and theaters. In the upr
per part is the royal palace. the fine
residences and the government build
ings.
On the hill which divides these two
sections is built the largest building in
Europe, the PalaSs~de Justice. It's po-

lions are perfect. 1t reminds one q
little of the St. Peters at Rome. only
it seems much larger. The inside is
just as colossal as the outside, having
gigantic stairways and great columns.
The royal palace is another immense
building, being one Of the finest in Eu<
rope. It was built by King Leopold.
