LUTHER CARYS RECORD.
He Says He Will Never Race Again.
Will He Be Permitted to Retire.

Luther Fl. Cary. who won the 100 and 22o
yard championships at st. Louis, says he
will never race again. He has left college
and has accepted business position in
Chicago. In the past year he has woD ten
championships-the 100 and 22O yard In
tercollegiate. the loo-yard Of England. the
1oo-yard Of France, the 100 and 22o yard
Metropolitan Association. the l00-yard
Northern Counties Of England, the 100 aud
220 yard Of America, and the l00-yard Of
Canada. He may justly feel proud OF the
record he has made, and he deserves the
life-membership which the Manhattan
Athletic Club will confer on him. He has
also beaten the worlds amateur 100
yard record on three occasions. Tse
Record Committee of the A. A. u.
have refused to allow him the record for
eome trivial reason. They still have his
last performance under consideration.
Tho first time he was timed in less
than Q As seconds was at Princeton, Oct.
ls, 1890, when he won q handicap loo-yard
race In s1s seconds. The Record Commit
tee refused to accept the record without
any good ground for the action, except
that they did not believe him capable OF
running In such fast time. The second
time he broke the record was at Lawrence
vile, juno l, when he was timed In 94
seconds. He accomplished this on grass,
but the A. A. q. refused. for some fancied
reason, to do him justice. From present
indications he will be allowed the record,
for on June he was again timed in 9A
seconds, this time by nine watches. Only
one man has disputed his performance.
The affidavits which certify to tho COR
rectness OF the record have been filed by
all Of the other officials.

A CHANCE FOR ECOyesy.

An exchange says that the propriety of moving the Territorial prison from Yuma to Cochise county is being dis cussed
 We would suggest as much prefera- ble, that the prison be abolished and convicts deported to Eastern peniten- tiaries, most of which are self-sustain- ing. The advantages of such an ar rangement are obvious. The cost of maintaining the prison at Yuma is from $50, 900 to $50, 900, and the average number of prisoners confined therein about 150. The cost of feeding and housing is, therefore, about $350 per annum for each prisoner, and they are kept in idleness, and in climate that is intolerable during half the year, 10 persons restrained of liberty. Includ- ing the increased cost of transportation our convicts could be boarded out at Eastern reformatorles for one-thlrd of the present cost of maintenance, per haps less. Almost as much expense could be saved to the Territory, as the funding of the debt, under the new funding act would effect
 Another important advantage of the  plan here suggested is that criminals, at the expiration of their terms of con finement, would be liberated thousands of miles distant from Arizona, and but few would drift back into the Territory.
 This proposition commends itself to every taxpayer and citizen having the welfare of the Territory at heart, and should receive serious consideration from the Legislature.
