The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1914-04-17
PRESIDENT WILSON is re-


ceiving much criticism within
his own party as well as out
OF it, for advocating and fore.
ing a repeal Of the law giving
American coastwise ships free
passage through the Panama
canal. He is accused of not
standing on the platform on
which he ran for president,
and various are the reasons
advanced for his contrary
action. The president declares
TINT free tolls for American
ships is violation of his in
depreciation Of the treaty with
England and that the honor
Of this nation can only be
upheld by charging American
coastwise ships tolls the same
as ships Of other nations en-
gagged in transatlantic COM
merce Notwithstanding the
fact that the canal was built
by and is owned by this
nation. People who differ
with the president in and out
OF congress are saying some
severe things. Some say his
attitude is un-American and
that he is trying TO please
England, which has a larger
merchant marine than any.
other nation, andlothers say
he is trying to please the rail-
roads which will feel keenly
the competition Of free toll
shipping from coast to coast
by way Of the canal. The
question IS being discussed byl
debating clubs. by politicians,
newspapers, and by a large
number of writer's in news
paper forums. Many people
take the position that Ameri-
cans have a right to conduct
their own commerce as they|
sec tit regardless Of opinions
OF foreign nations. and that !,
England has no more rights
to be considered regarding
American shipping from one
American coast through an
american canal to the other
American coast than she has
rights regarding the traffic on
American railroads from coast
to coast. However, most of
the presidents opponents are
fair enough to credit him with
honesty Of purpose. Alto
gether, the tolls question
seems a very large one with
TWO sides to it, and it threat !,
ms to have a far reaching .
effect on the national politics /,
ot the immediate future. Il

Batesville Oils Her Streets.

The benefits of oiled streets
are now being demonstrated in
those sections of Batesville
where oil has been applied. Even
those who were inclined to be
skeptical of the project at first
are now ready to admit that the
oiled street is a success and is
worth every cent it costs. The
only trouble with oiled streets
in Batesville is that there are
not enough of them, but with the
experience of this year per-
haps next season much more ter
ritory will be included.-Bates-

ATROCI0US MURDER
OF NEGRO WOMAN
Supposed To Have Been Com
united By Ed Jones, For
Whom Search Is Being
Made.

Jackson County than the taking
of the life of Ophelia Mays, a
young negro woman, whose
throat was cut while she lay in
bed asleep early Wednesday
morning by negro man, sup
posed to be Ed Jones, who disap-
peared after the commission of
the brutal crime and has not
been located, though Sheriff Nc
QUESTION assisted by the city of
Ificers and a large number of ne
groes sworn in for the man
hunt, have been making a search
of the city particularly in the
neighborhood of the compress
and the timber slashes along the
lower end of Bergen Lake north
of the city.
/ Ophelia Mays lived in house
on Remmel Avenue, about 1880
Remmel Avenue, beyond the
foot of Ash street This negro
Jones has for some time been
working on the levee near the
Stephens farm and only last
week threatened the girl and
would have shot her, it is said,

interference of her brother.

Mays occupied bed with Ellen
Peoples, while the latter's sister
Lille Peoples had the rear
room of the cabin. Ed Jones
came to the house during the
might and demanded admission.
For fear that he night take her
life, Ophelia Mays let him in,
over the protests of the other
two women, for all were afraid
of Jones.
Ellen Peoples says that she
was awakened early Wednesday
informing by the groans of Ophe-
lila Mays. The room was full of

thought that Ed Jones had shot
Ophelia. Jones, she says, was u.s.
ing a pan of water, probably
washing the blood from his
hands, though she thought at
the time, he was trying to put
out the blaze. Ellen Peoples ran
from the house and had a negro
man go back after her sister
Lille Peoples. The former then
ran to the home of Mr.. c.. A.
Hillhouse, where Ophelia Mays
had been a faithful and efficient
cook for nearly two years, and
gave the alarm.
Members of the family went
down to the house and there dis
lowered what an atrocious and
brutal murder had been commit
ted. Jones had covered the body
with the bed clothing before he
left the house and is thought to
have tried to burn the place and
hide in ashes the evidence of his
crime.
The woman's neck was almost
completely severed and below
her right eye was a wound eth
err a blow or a stab. The bed
was saturated with blood and
presented a gruesome spectacle
to the hundreds of visitors that
poured in upon the scene of the
crime. Upon a trunk near the
bed, lay a bloody PAIRING knife
doubtless the instrument OF
murder, for the slit of the knife
showed plainly across the bloody
mattress.

l gun, hat and coat of Ed Jones, tt
t whom all suspicion points, as
well as the story of Ellen PEG

Three Properties Now Claiming a
 God Deal of Attention
Special Correspondence)

WICKENBURG, Feb. 22.-The Black Rock. Ltd. is reported to be pushing ahead, and the high-grade ore which was struck a few weeks ago still con- tinues, and there is an enormous amount of this grade of ore in sight. The lately discovered strike consists chiefly of a huge ledge of copper glance ore, which also carries excel
 lent values in gold and silver. This is to be one of the large mines of Arizona
 The Golden Eagle is forging ahead as rapidly as could be expected. The double accompaniment working shaft is
 being sunk as skillfully and as fast as possible The early construction of a reduction plant has been defi- nitely decided upon and plans to that
 end are being vigorously pushed. The character and size of the ore bodies
 revealed in this and other workings of the property has determined the own CTS to immediately increase their , working force and enlarge the scope of their operations.
 The Big Blue Mining company, near Wickenburg, has connected their big new working shaft with the third level
 of the old workings, which takes them into the large body of sulphide ores. showing silver glance, and being the
 character of ore which has made this
 property famous The shaft is be- ing pushed down another hundred feet below the third level, and. upon the completion of the station now be- | ing made at this level and the addi- l ton of a new Wilfley concentrating table, the mine will be in condition ! to start operations on a large scale,
 and the mill will treat the ore from the third level, which will make high
 grade concentrates. It has taken lots
 of nerve and a good deal of money to
 put this property in it's present con- 1 dition. and the results are most grat- | fving. This mine is now attracting
 the attention of the big copper pro- ducing companies. It is understood
 that Colorado and Pennsylvania capl- talists are seeking an option on the property at figure above Sl,0OO,Ooo. but the officers have nothing to say | in regard to the transaction. How 1 ever. something must be doing, as several engineers have been on the property investigating conditions.

SECOND SYMPHONY
 SOCIETY CONCERT
Organization Showing Marked I'm. provement; 1t Has Como
 to Stay

The second concert of the Phoenix symphony Society under the direc- ton of Eugene Redewill drew a large audience to the Empress the atre yesterday afternoon. An audi ence which went away thoroughly delighted with the concert and which will prove the society's best adver- tisement for it's next entertainment.
 The first concert, three weeks ago, was the most meritorious of it's kind ever given in Phoenix, and yesterday afternoon the orchestra showed marked improvement. They played with greater flexibility and a fuller and better balanced tone. The pro-
 gram was again well selected, with a scope broad enough to please music
 lovers of all kinds, and it was not too long.
 The soloist was MT. John Arm strong. He sang the famous recita- tive and air from the Messiah. It is always a pleasure to hear
 MT. Armstrong sing. He has a bari tone voice of beautiful quality and considerable range. His diction is excellent and he sings intelligently and well. His solo was enthusiast ically applauded but he refused an encore.
 The Phoenix symphony society has come to stay and next season it's concerts are going to be the most popular events of the winter. It is
 ar organization of which Phoenix | may well be proud.
