of national regulation of railway stock
and bond issues, but added that he saw
no reason why that should exclude the
states from acting on the same sub
ject as to state corporations. Il would
like to see the stock OF railroad, as
long as 1t Is in private hands, made as
substantial and as unvarying as the
value Of a government bond" he as
serted.
He suggested that railroad capitali-
cation be readjusted to equaliZe 1t with
actual valuation Of the property rep
resented, making due allowance for
equities, and that when this was done
the roads should be allowed TO earn
sufficient income to keep their stock
at par and TO create a surplus. The
latter, he tentatively proposed, might
be allowed to amount to % per cent
of the capital.

Three persons were seriously injured lne if whom, a five -month-o babe, narrowly escaped death by drowning, when a horse which they were driving became frightened and ran away near the Fowler school house about o'clock yesterday afternoon. The occupants of the buggy, which was practically de- molished, were thrown from the car riage. The injured:
 Mrs Morris Simser, collarbone brok an and head and body cut and bruised

 Mesdames Simser and Evans attend ed a ked Cross meeting at the Fowler school yesterday afternoon They had started for their homes north of the school when the horse became fright ened at some unknown object and ran away. The buggy went into a culvert, breaking the front wheel and the Wom- en and babe were thrown from the car riage.
 Both women were rendered uncon- scious from the fall The babe was thrown further to the side of the road, however and rolled down an embank- ment into a ditch. Mrs. Evans recov- cred consciousness just in time to see the babe floating, head down, down the ditch. After some effort, she succeeded in pulling the child from the water.
 passing autoist carried the women to their homes and Drs. H. A. Hughes and H. A. Hughes Jr., summoned from this city. They attended the injured people.
 The babe was the most seriously in iured the head bruise being of a serious nature it was stated last night It is possible that a slight concussion re- suited from the fall, but this cannot be determined for a few days.

Citizen iixiif As Amaoigf F lFi ii1es Its
 Right For Owner

When Harry Lukin, Tempe rer- chant, drove his delivery truck into the alley at the rear Of korrick's yesterday afternoon, he left the ma chine standing where other ma chimes could not reach the estab- lishment to discharge go ods. He also left Francisco Molina sitting on the seat of the machine.
 Comes somebody from korrick's who supposing Molina belonged to the operating department of the Lukin truck, asked the young man to move the truck ahead a little. And Molina, who probably had never driven a machine before, started the engine and threw in the clutcn. Then things began to happen.
 Standing 30 feet or more away was :, horse and buggy belonging to Ocie Smith, a rancher, from Route 2. Molina drove the truck straight at the Smith outfit and in the mean time was frantically endesWorine to stop the machine. His efforts were fruitless and there came cash. The big tuck completely demolished the buggy, caught the horse and threw it to the ground, passed over the prostrate animal without seri- ousIy injuring him and finally cssne to stop 20 or 30 feet further on.
 Realizing that he had created an untenable situation, Molina jumped from the truck and beat hasty re- treat. Those who gave chase were unable to overtal<e him and the pre- sumption is that ne reached the New Mexico line in little less than no time.
 lukin came into the alley to find a crowd about his truck, an irate rancher demanding compensation and threatening arrest. Lukin is said to have promised make good the damage.

ADJUSTMENTS
GREATER NEW YORK
 FASCINATING FILM

Today is the last chance to witness the big film. Greater New Yorh C., the Columbia and the words of ap- proval after last evenings performance is an indication that those who do not see this picture will miss a remarkable instructive and entertaining feature. With it is a Ford scenic picture show ing a trip up Mount Wilson, near Pas adena and a trip to the Roosevelt dam. Both scenic pictures are very good and the current installment in 'Patria' has enough thrills for anyone even with the reddest blood.
 After all the big feature is Greater New York" for it takes the spectator into the highways and byWays of the biggest city in the land and one of the biggest cities in the world. It shows scenes which even the average New Yorker is not familiar with, ranging from the slums and Chinatown to the many million dollar home of Charles NJ. Schwah. It is 2 good th'ro C. AriZonans to see, for after witnessing the crowded condition in the metrop oils they can go out and in the great outdoors thank their lucky stars that they are not one of the half million liV ing in a single square mile in the ten ament district of Gotham.
 The film is a favorable bit of phOtog ney Island. Unusual spots which the tourist would never know about are shown so that a visit to the Columbia is better in some ways than an actual trip to Greater New York.

At the Plaza


 One of the most daring horsemen who ride for the films is Harry Carey, who comes to the Plaza theater today only in the title role of the Red Feath CT photoplay, "The Fighting Gringo." In the picture, he plays the part of sort of modern Ulysses, who has wan dered all over the country, taking care of himself, and earning the reputation of being a two listed" man. In the photoplay he has the role of a ranch foreman, somewhere on the 1sthmus of Panama, in which he has to ride horse for the first 'ire. The horse has lots of fun with Harry. and the spec tators will get several thrills, when he is thrown over it's head innumerahle times, turning back summersaults in the dirt Carey says that II IS tar nIoic difficult and da reerous to give an iri- tation for the films of a novice in the equestrian art, than to perform any riding stunt which he has ever at tempted-and there are not many which he has not tried.
 "The Secret Kingdom" new and thrilling serial also starts today at the Plaza and will be repeated Saturday.

An adjournment was taken to 3 o'clock instead of the usual hour. 9:30 o'clock.

Earl Williams at Hip

Not since Rallies took the country by storm, has there been so fascinating crook story as that reproduced from the novel of the same name by the Vitagraph players and served as Arsene Lupin with Earl Williams in the part of the master thief.
 This emperor of crooks who sent word to the detectives the hour that he intended to commit a big robbery and who laughed at their efforts to catch him, as he would the pranks of a puppy at play, had no equal as thief. He was the greatest of his time.
 Nothing daunted him, nothing stop- ped him, until he fell in love and Cupid put the manicles on his hands after the detectives of four countries had grown gray trying to locate him. It is

one of most fascinating of pictures because it deals with the crook operat- ing in the upper crust of society and the women of the cast wear some of the prettiest frocks of the season. Mir. Williams is supported by Miss Ethel Gray Terry, a niece of the famous Ellen Terry.
 Today sees the passing of this and the news weekly to make way for two splendid pictures, Tom Mix in Twisted Trails" and Lillian Walker in "Dimples the Diplomat" They come Saturday.
