SNAKE UNUSUAL TO ARIZONA
CAPTURED BY NOGALES MAN

Frank Cutler, of the Copper Cities
Service station recently caught a spe-
cies of snake not usually found in
this country. 1t is called a coral
snake, and is beautifully ringed in
shades of coral and blue-black. 1t is
about terr inches long and about the
thickness of a lead pencil. This snake
is most commonly found in Asiatic
countries, particularly in East India.
1t is deadly poisonous, in fact, more
so than our western "rattler' but be-
cause of its small mouth, it cannot
distribute enough poison to be of ne
cessity fatal except in the case of
very small children. Mr.. Cutler cap
tured the snake with small stick
and forced it into bottle. He in
tends to send it to the reptile farm
in Phoenix.

REFUSED MORE PAY
New Mediation Board,
Named Under Watson-Par-
ker Bill, Must Decide Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 4.-The recently
enacted Watson. Parker bill for the
settlement of railroad labor disputes
will get it's first test in passing upon
the demands of $4,000 trainmen of
Eastern railroads for 20 per cent
wage increase, refused by the rail-,
roads.
Officials Of the carriers involved told
representatives OF the Brotherhood of
Conductors and Trainmen yesterday.
after a two-day conference here, that
the increase is not justified in view
or present operating expenses.
Under the Watson.Paker bills,
drawn up by the railroads and rail un-
ions. the next step Is for President
Coolidge to appoint a mediation board
or hve men. replacing the abolished
Railroad Labor Board. Argumen nts
Will be submitted to the new board as
soon as II is appointed.
Meanwhile no strike vote will be
taken, nor will there be any Interrupt
ton of train service.
The conference which decided to
mediate the question was attended by
William G. Lee of the Brotherhood
OF Railway Trainmen and L.: f. Shep-
herd OF the Order Of Railroad Conduc.
tors. and also John G. Walber, vice
president Of the New York Central,
representing the roads.
The dema nds were received by the
roads in January. The increases ask
ed ranged from 81 to $1.64 a day, and
1t was estimated by railroad officials
that II granted they would total be-
tween $S5,000.000 and $95 600, 900 a
year. Mr.. Walber said yesterday that
while the position OF the railroads
has improved each year since 1921.

WATER
SYSTEM WINS

District citizens long fight for a
high-pressure water system giving
greater fire protection for the down
town area has brought victory in
the new District Appropriations bill,
reported to the House today.
The Appropriations Committee
inserted in the bill $4,000 fund
for creation Of a committee, to be
appointed by the Commissioners, to
study installation Of the system.
The fight for this improvement,
waged chiefly by the Washington
Board of Trade, has been in prog
ress for many years but never be-
fore has received official recogni-
tion.
The high-pressure system would
draw water from the Potomac river
rather than from the District water
supply system and would deliver 1t
in the downtown section at suffi-
cfent pressure to reach the tops OF
the tallest buildings, without pump
ing engines.

LINE BRIDGE

Opposition to a bill authorizing
construction of a railroad bridge
across the Potomac river, In the
vicinity of Chain Bridge, part ct
the Luxborough belt line project,
was expressed by the Washington
Board OF Trade In a letter sent to
Senator Hiram Bingham, chairman
of abe subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Commerce, today.
The bill has passed the House,
and is now before Senator Bing.
hams subcommittee.
"This proposed railroad bridge.
the boards letter states, ''is a part
of what is termed the Washington
Luxborough belt line, whcih com
pany contemplates the establish.
ment of railroad terminal freight
yeards, etc.
when this proposition was first
advanced in the early fall the
washington Board OF Trades sub
committee on steam railroads spent
vestigating the matter before sub
uniting it's report and recommen-
dation thereon, which was adopted
by the Board Of Trade.
The investigation was thorough
and the committee recommended
adversely on the plan, believing that
said railroad terminals, freight
wards, etc, were not necessary Tor
the present or even future develop
n1ent of Washington and contiguous
territory"
The letter further states that the
trade body feel that such a develop,
ment would interfere with property
of citizens in the sections affected,
and would not be in keeping with
the Identification OF the National
Capital.
The Board Of Trade asks that
hearings should be granted before
final action by the subcommittee,
