Railroads Wish Two Tariffs
For Cattle Shipments;
Arionzans to Fight It.
Phoenix, Ariz. Feb. 11. F. A. Jonea.
chairman of the Arizona corporation
commission, and W L. Barnum, attor
ney for the Arizona Cattle Growers'
association, hare prone to San Francisco
to be present at a highly Important In
terstate commerce commission hearing
to begin in that city next Monday.
Judge Barnum not only represents the
Arizona cattlemen but also. In thin in
stance, the American National Live
stock association, lie accepted the
-omtjiesion following a discussion of
the questions Involved at the annual
convention, held last month In El Paso.
ItnllrnmU Wish Tiro Tariffs.
If the railroads are granted permis
sion by the Interstate commerce com
mission to carry out their plans, they
Tv Hi have two separate sets of tariffs.
The present tariffs will remain in ef
fect when shipments are made subject
to The maximum valuations arbitrarily
fixed by the railroads, and rates ap
proximately 10 percent higher will be
collected when shippers declare valua
tions In excess of those maximums.
ThiB would have an important effeot
on all commerce, but for some reason
the matter has not been dealt with to
any extent in the press of the nation.
The- railroads have lone been fixing
the maximum valuations which they
will allow on shipments of varlouB
classes. For Instance, they will not
accept responsibility for livestock ship
ments for more than $50 a head, though
stallions, graded cattle and even beef
animals are often worth much more.
Vntll two years ago the maximum on
livestock was J35 a head If a $1000
stallion is killed In R wreck the owner
can recover inly $50. It Is for this
reason that the cattlemen are so deeply
interested.
Intendment Offers Ilrllrf.
At the last session congress adopted
the Cummins amendment to the inter
state commerce aot, designed to rem
edy this. It provides that railroads
shall not arbitrarily fix maximum val
uations but must accept responsibility
for the full value of a shipment The
railroads are objecting earnestly to
this. They Informed the L C. C. tht,
lliey would have to publish new tariff
schedules and charge a rate 10 percent
higher whenever the shipper declares a
value above their present maximum.
Hearings are to be held before I. C.
c examiners in San Francisco. Chi
cago, Atlanta, New Orleans and New
York before the commission Issues a
ruling on the question.

' 'No Judge of Flowers When
Cashed My Checks," Says
Prospector's Poem.
Details of the death of A. W. Van
Houten, the "old prospector of Klcho
lite," have been received here by
friends of Van Houten, who was a
member of the Mooso lodge in El Paso
and who is said to have owned eomo
property here. He came down to El
Paso from Lordsburg in November
with a number of his ore samples and
a sample box of onyx whlcTi was
curved In the form of a book. Ills
body was found on the summit of
nichollte mountain near Red Rock, N.
5L, on the Gila river. His body is be
lieved to have laid on the mountains
two months before being found by a
party of men from Lordsburg.
AVos .t Kelly.
Van Houten went to the Rlchollte
district about a year ago and. together
with F. W. Brakefield, located some
good looking copper claims north of
the Gila river. He is said to have come
from Magdalena and Kelly, N. M., latT
drifting down to Socorro, thence to El
Paso and Red Rock. In November he
made a- sale of some of his holdings
in El Paso.
Went to liny Stamps.
On December 8 he loft the camp of
his partner, Felix Brakefield, to go to
Red Rock postoffice to buy postage
stamps. Nothing more was heard of
him until Sunday afternoon, when his
body was found by F. M. Chapman,
who was on a prospecting trip near
the summit of Rlchollte peak, one of
the highest on the Gila river.
l'oem Near Body.
The aged prospector's body was
found beneath a cluster of shaggy
pine trees in a small gully, his face
upturned and his fists clinched. On
a card nearby was the following print
ed lines:
"I've noticed when a fellow dies, no
.natter what He's been
A saintly chap or one whose life was
darkly steeped In sin
His friends forget the bitter words
they spoke hut yesterday.
And now they find a multitude of
pretty things to say.
I fancy when I go to rest some one
will bring to light, -Some
kindly word or goodly deed
long burled out of sight.
I'm quite alive and well today, and
while I linger here
Lend me a helping hand at times
and give a word of cheer.
Just change the game of life a bit; Just
kindly swab the decks.
For I will be no Judge of flowers
when I cash In my checks."
Tills poem had doubtless been the
dying prospector's last reading.
Body Wrapped In Illnnkei,
The decomposed body was wrapped
Into blankets and was taken by his
partner down the broken mountainside
to the Red Rock cemetery, where it
was Interred. He is survived by a sis
ter In Canada who has been notified of
the finding of the body.

Albert Clark, a private in the Fifth
I'nited States infantry, is in Washing
ton to make a full report to the war
office of his having been removed from
an American ship by British soldiers at
Jamaica. ,
Having served 19 months in the canal
zone, Clark boarded the Santa liana,
a United Fruit liner, at Colon, under
orders to report to the adjutant general
in Washington. 'When the steamer en
tered the harbor of Jamaica she was
boarded by a neutrality officer, who
followed the usual procedure of closely
questioning all on board as to their na
tionality, dark told this officer that
he was Irani just outside Vienna, but
had taken out first papers for citizen
ship. The neutrality officer left the ship
without comment on Clark's case, but
shortly afterwards three negro soldiers
in uniform appeared and forced Clark to
accompany them. According to Clark,
ho was taken to a. camp "on the out
skirts of Jamaica," known as the lower
concentration camp, where he was
brought before the commanding officer
and again closely examined. After sev
eral hours he was permitted to return
to the ship.
In the meantime the other American
passengers had held an indignation meet
ing at which it was determined to ap
peal to the United States consul at
Jamaica. Before this could be done,
howecr, Clark returned, and the Santa
Maria continued her voyage. Clark was
wearing the full uniform of a regular
and the silver cross of a marksman.

-- iTinvn ft " vears existence, the
1 J Woman's club of El Paso has been
- growing in numbers and strength
as the city has grown in population and
wealth. It has worked along educa
tional lines and civic improvement, and
has been at all times identified with the
moral uplift of the community. Its mem
bers have been prominent in every
progressive movement
At first, the club held its meetings in
private homes, then later, as its mem
bership Increased, in small hails, Car
negie library. Hotel Paso del Norte, the
chamber of commerce, and at present,
temporarily. In the Christian church.
Now. with a membership of over 300.
there is no place open to the club that
is adequate, and it feels the urgenUneed
of a bujldinir of its own. J
Through its own efforts, the club has
acquired a desirable location, and now,
for the first time-ever, '"the AVomans
club" appeals to the public for help.
It asks for liberal assistance to build'
a club house suitable for all Its needs
for the present and for years to come.
Will you not "come over and help
us'"
To save confusion in the mind of the
public it may be well to state that 'the
Woman's club of El Paso" and the
City Federation of Women's clubs are
two separate and distinct organizations.
To the interest of those desiring to
contribute for the building of a home
for the one, it would be unfair not to
make this distinction understood.
"The Woman's club of El Paso" Is an
organization 22 years old, a department
club, of three departments "music,"
"art." and "literature and current
events " It belongs to both the State and
National Federations.
