NO MORE FREE. RIDES.
Day of the Railroad Pass in Colorado
Is About Over.

Denver, Jan. 25.-Facing the posi-
bility of continued questioning into the
use of telephone and telegraph franks,
more than a score of witnesses were
under subpoena today in the govern
ment pass investigation here under
the direction of Interstate Commerce
Commissioner James S. Harlan. The
days witnesses included railroad and
city officials and shippers
The inquiry has developed unanim-
ity on the part of witnesses favoring
the abolition of railroad passes. Rail
road officials expressed satisfaction
that the federal indictments returned
last November against the Denver &
Rio Grande and Colorado Southern
railway had given them an excuse to
abolish the pass.
What further examination relative
to telephone and telegraph franks
might disclose was a topic of apparent
concern among those gathered for to-
days hearing. 1t was known that
shortly after the present Colorado
legislature convened, an appropria-
ton to install booths at the state
house for the free use of legislators
for long distance calls was turned
down.

Big JAM ON BRIDGE.
Traffic Tied Up for so Minutes During
Rush Hours.

New York Jan. 25.-Brooklyn
bridge was the scene last evening of
one of the largest jams of humanity
which the structure probably has held
since it's opening thirty years ago, at
which time a dozen persons were
crushed to death For fifty minutes
during the rush hour all traffic by rail
was at a standstiI1 because of a small
fire in a shed under the bridge, which
cut off the electric feed wires tenn
porarily. From 100000 to 100000
persons were massed at the New York
terminal before the jam was relieved.
Many persons in some of the crowded
trains which pulled into the terminal
Just as the flames became threatening,
were forced to climb out of the win
doWs and many women were in a state
of panic. The subway was so choked
with crowds at the time that probably
10000 persons walked the mile long
bridge in the rain.

BACK INTO THE RUT,
Stock Advance Due Only to Covering
by Shorts.

New York, Jan. 25.-Although
prices of stocks advanced sharply in
the first of the week and the market
seemed to be recovering from its de-
preston, the advantage was not long
maintained. The advance was due
primarily to short covering, extension
of the short account having made the
position of bear traders open to attack.
There was little or no increase in out
side business, nor was there a change
in market influences to which a more
bulliSh sentiment could be attributed.
Announcement of Turkeys acceptance
of the peace proposals stimulated the
market for a brief period but the eff
feet was ShOrt-liVed.
Heaviness of the market in the lat
ter part of the week was attributed to
Turkeys reversal of position and the
consequent unsettlement of foreign
markets. Pressure against steel also

That Francisco Vargas. is respon-
sible for the death last Tuesday night
of Jose Aguilero, was the finding of
the coroners jury in the case, re-

Mexicans who knew both men and
who were eye witnesses to the fight

According to their story Vargas
was the first to shoot. His victim

ing the mortal wound. The police

BOSTIC MAKES DENIAL
No Hardship to Anyone But Consumer
in New Law.

j. A. Bostic, a member of the legis-
lative board representing the State So
ciety of Labor and Industry takes ex-
ception to the statement that the mini
mum wage bill would work a hardship
upon the employer. Such would not
be the case at all, he says. On the
contrary the employer would make just
as much profit as he does now.
1.-The increased cost that the new law
would bring Mr.. Bostic says, would
merely be added to the cost of the
goods and Mr.. Consumer as usual
would pay the bill. If by doing this
we can place the mothers, daughters
and sisters on a safer footing than the
wages of 81 and $3.50 per week do it is
our duty to pay more"
1t is the women who make the above
mentioned or similar wages, that the
law would help Mr.. Bostic says.

Pacific Coast Shippers Must Do Their
Own Inspecting.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Officials of
the pure food board hold they have no
authority to place government inspec-
tors in Pacific coast packing houses to
inspect citrus fruits before shipment.
In view of the boards order prohibit
ing the sale of citrus fruits frozen in
the recent cold snap on the coast, the
growers asked the board to inspect
shipments in the packing houses in
stead of the eastern markets, that
they might not suffer losses in having
shipments condemned after mourning
freight and packing charges.
w. D. Bigelow, acting chief of the
bureau of chemistry and a member of
the board which issued the order to-
day said that such requests had been
made before. 1.-The packers can tell

CARRANZA CABLES.
In a statement today during a con-

ernor Carranza, the Mexican constitu-

to the prime ministers of England
and France, warning them of compli
cations if European capitalists nego-
tiate the Huerta loan and pledge Gus
toms receipts. He cabled that If the
Constituencies movement succeeds,
an attempt by England or France to
collect this loan might provoke war
with Mexico. He asked the ministers
to make his statement public.
