Proposed Increase Great.
Nh Cummins introduced the tolls ques-

that the government in its endeavor to

driven them 10 the very verge of bank

of performing the service which COM

Washington, April IA vehement pro
test against what he termed campaign
TO msead the public and arouse support
of the movement TO permit the railroads
to increase freight rates per cent was
made i'm the Senate to-day by Senator
Cummins
The Senator from Iowa is suspected OF
having, to some extent. stolen the thun-
der Of Senator La Toilette. who contem-
plates making a speech denouncng undue
efforts TO influence the Interstate Com
merce Commission relative TO the pro-
posed rate increases.
Mr. Cummins said that newspapers
and magazines were filed with mislead-
ing articles conveying the impression
that the railroads were on the verge Of
poverty Although admitting that there
was a temporary depression and a con-
traction in traffic he quoted figures to

by more than 100 per cent, and in 1918 had

stock after paying all interest obliga-
tons.

of these facts" the Senator declared,
that intelligent men will continue to de
nounce the attitude of the government as
hostile 10 the railroads"
Senator Mclean asked how much OF
the net earnings had gone to the stock
holders OF the railroads. Mr. Cummins
was unable 10 make a direct reply 10 this

At near date, announces Manager
Martin of the Empire theatre, his
place will present the stupendous finn
production showing with a cast of two
thousand people, and with scenes
numbering more than six hundred, the
age-old Hebrew story of Samson; the
most popular and tragic hero of. Jew
ish history This production is staged
by the Universal Film company, which
alone is testimonial of it's magnifi-
cence and artistic setting, and in
this play the zenith of this one of the
few great film companies is reached.
The story of Samson is the most
romantic of ancient Jewish. history,
telling as it does of the strongest,
physically, man of any age, and this
strong mans love for Delilah, - the
arch siren of her day, and ending with
Samson's loss of strength by his con-
fession of his secret to ,Delilah; who
through her seductions cunningly
gains the confidence of the giant
lover. The scenes of Samson's life
SO graphically told in the book of
Judges are as realistically portrayed
by the artistic actors and magnifi-
cent setting of the coming production.
The strong mans encounter with the
lion, and his killing of it with his
naked hands; the encounter with the
army of the Philistines, when hun
dreds of them were slain by the He
brew, who later is tempted by Delilah
to tell of the secret of his great
strength, thus enabling the woman to
deliver him to the Philistine soldiers,
who destroy his eyes, and bring him
to their banquet feast that he might
suffer the humiliation, and where he
gains his final revenge by throwing
down the pillars of the banquet hall,
crushing the feasters; all these scenes
are shown with a vividness that must
have been known by the writer's of
the hero's many deeds.
This production, of six reels, will
be at the Empire at near date, which
will soon be announced

BASE BALL BY STARLIGHT.
Eleven Innings Game Between Saun-
ders AlI-Star Team and Warriors
of D. c. Machine Shops Played Un-
til Starlight With Score that Ties.
Machinists Defeated on the Morrow

Commotion was energetic among the
base ball players and admirers of
Morenci throughout Saturday of last
week, this being caused by the
Saunders All-Star team crossing will
lows with the aggregation composed
of the employees of the D. c.. M
company's machine shops. For sever
al days reports were that these two
crack teams would engage in contest
for the first time this season, and
many rooters wendell their paths to
the ball grounds on both Saturday
afternoon and Sunday forenoon to wit
ness the results, which on Saturday
were eleven and eleven, after an
eleven inning game. Starlight fur
nished light for the last two in
nings, proving the determination of
the opponents.
However, the game of the next
forenoon was more decisive, the ALL
Stars winning by a score of nine to
seven. These teams will soon again
contest, and much interest is center
ed thereby, as the players of both
sides are among the best of Mo
reHci.

Because of the deficit of about one
hundred and fifty dollars of the
funds of the July Celebration COM

of very pleasurable promise. Music
will be of the best to be obtained.
More than twenty-five numbers will
be danced, making the pleasures last
until the early hours of Septembe 8,
primary election day, which also is
expected to add to the interest of the
dance, as many of the county candid

At meeting on the evening of
Wednesday of members of the Mo

band that it might continue as an or
ganization. Those present at the
meeting were A. L. Davidson, H. s.
Van Gorder, Milton Mclean, Jno
Riddle, w. J. Johns, M. N. Short
The conviction of those present was
that the two copper companies, the
two main stores with other institu-
lions of the town, should combine
with the private citizens in giving
with regularity each month to the
band al sum of probably one, hundred
and fifty dollars. A list will probably
soon be circulated among the peo-
ple,' who no doubt will literally res
