“Paid In Full’"
“It is truly a great play”. This is
the estimate place on Eugene Walters
“Paid in Full”the Philadelphia North
America, an opinion whose worth is
mutiplied by the fa< t that it was
expressed in an editorial. Since the
founding of the North American,a dai
newspaper of vast influence and en
ormous circulation, only one play be
sides “Paid in Full” has been held of
sufficient importance to merit the dis
tinction of an editorial. Not alone the
wide public interest in "Paid in Full”
because of its enormous success, but
its notable superiority as a play and
the graphic accuracy with which' it
despiets the social conditions it deal
with, commended it to the North
American for speial considerations

MUST PASS CANADIAN BILL
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO
AVOID EXTRA SESSION.
Such is the Ultimatum Sent to the
Senate by President
Taft.
Washington, Mar. 2—Prelident Taft
swung ihe big stick. Again the story
came to the White house that a
frameup was in progress in the sen
ate to avoid an extra session by vot
ing upon the reciprocity agreement
and defeating it.
Those opposed to the McCall bill,
so "the president was told, are w illing
for reciprocity to come to a vote if
assured in advance that it cannot
pass. There are senators who declare
that enough Democrats can be!
pledged to the opposition to carry (
this agreement into effect. But a snag
has been struck.
The president sent word to the cap
ltol that if any evidence of frameup
adverse to reciprocity came to him lie
would call au extra session anyway.
Mr. Taft decreed that the senate must
not only vote on the McCall hill, if
that body wants to prevent a special
session, but it must pass it.

ment bills for Joplin and Springfield

Holcomb's bill providing for registra
tion of all voters in Jackson county.
The senate took up and passed Col.
Phelps' house bill prohibiting dis
crimination on the part of railroads

but prohibits discrimination. It is
principally aimed at the Missouri Pa
cific, Iron Mountain, Missouri, K.m,
sas & Texas, Santa Fe and Cotton

a mile between points in this state

Attack on Cananea Where Much
Money is Invested.
Nogales, Ariz., Mar. 2.—That the
Mexican insurrecto forces arc plan
ning to assault the Mexican town of
Cananea, headquarters of the t ast
Cole Ryan Interests, was indicated by
reports that scattered bodies of rebels
were marching toward that place.
The rebels cut all the wires leading
In and out of the town, but among the
last messages received from there
was a report that federal soldiers who
were stationed there were throwing
up fortifications and calling upon
Americans to help defend their enter
prises. The Cole-Ryan interests are
among the largest of the American in
vestments in Mexico and consist of
mines, lumber tracts, stores and
ranches.

ing for school boards of six members

CONSIDERING RATE DECISION
Heads of Eastern Railroads Are Di
vided on tha Question of Taking
an Appeal.
New York, Mar. 2.—A genera! meet
ing of the heads of Eastern railroads
is being held in New York to-day to
consider the rate decision of the In
terstate Commerce commission and
to decide what course the railroads
shall follow. The principal question
is whether or not an appeal shall be
taken from the commission's decision.
There is a strong feeling among
some of the railroad men that a test
should be made of the constitution
ality of the law under which the com
mission acted. Other officials are dis
posed to take no action and consider
able uncertainty exists regarding the
outcome of the conference.

WILL ACCEPT
RATE DECISION
Western Railroads Will Not Appeal
From the Finding of the Com
merce Commission.
Chicago, Mar. 2.—Thirty-five West
ern railroads decided to make no ap
peal from the recent decision of the
Interstate Commerce commission
denying the roads the right to in
crease freight rates. They will ac
cept the decree of the commission as
final.
The decision was reached at a
meeting of representatives of the
roads at the Western Trunk bine as
sociation headquarters here. The
opinion was advanced by many thal
the roads would be unable to make
any stronger showing before the new
commerce court than they had before
the commission, and that once the
new court had ruled ils decree would
l>e binding for two years.
It also was argued that if lh* roads
comply with the decree without objec
tion and withdraw the advanced
tariffs before March 10 there will he
an opportunity at a later date to sub
mit advances on certain rates, some
of which may meet with favor.
