MIR. JONES SAYS HE rs ANXIOUS TO

A JOINT DEBATE is PROBABLY.

OF Meeting the Congrcssmnn-Thc
Upon.

The prospect of joint debates In Vlr-
ginia between the advocates OF oppoSing
senatorial candidates seems all that the
most ardent lover of political excitement
could wish
In letter to a friend here yesterday
Hon. william a. Jones says he knows Of
nothing which could give him more plea
sure than the opportunity Of meeting
Senator Martin in joint debate, and that
he is not only ready and anxious to meet
the Senator but Will meet any champion
OF his who has any claim TO respecta-
bility.
SENATOR MARTIN is READY.
Senator Martin, it Is understood, has
frequently expressed willingness to
meet Mr.. Jones on the stump. The op-
portunity to $50 would seem TO be OIL
fered. and there is said to be little or no
doubt of the Senator's acceptance Of the
challenge of the Congressman. If Mr..
Martin has not expressed his Willingness
TO meet Mr.. Jones his friends nave uh-
hesitatingly declared that TO be MS po-
stion.
The letter Of Mr.. Joness published ex-
clusively in yesterdays Dispatch. was
almost the sole topic in political circles
Yesterday. 1t was agreed upon all sioes
that the letter was an eminently strong
one-one which would call for reply from
Mr.. Martin, either through the medium
of the press or from the hastings.
Mr. Martins statement, which ca'ieu
forth the letter from Mr.. Jones, was COM
mended for It's calm and dignihed style;
Mr. Jones probably does not Guido his
opponent in this regard, but he is not out
done.
THE CANDIDATES.
Senator Martin is in Richmond, and,
as stated yesterday, will be here for some
time. His correspondence is very heavy
and he has many callers
Governor Tyler was in Harrisonburg

Congressman Jones and family are at
Orkney Springs. Mr.. Jones VIII make
a number of speeches after the lapse OF

PLAYS FOR PHOENIX
R 1furn of S. F. Patton From an
 Eastern Booking Trip.

s. E. Patton of the Patton Grand opera house, who has returned recent ly from a trip east for the purpose of booking troupes for Phoenix this sum
 mer and also next winter, announces that the success of his trip remains to be determined IT times continue good
 the chances for engagements at the park theater here this summer are not good The best troupea which or
 ganized in the east a few years ago found tt difficult to bill their plays in
 the east where they would realize re- turns. They sought California and
 played at many points on the road. Times are good throughout the east now, says Mr. Patton, and there is no reason for these same companies leay- ing. To come west means the ex- pense of transportation with no as surance of making any more money than at home. Besides, the original state of affairs which forced the stand ard troupes westward constituted standard critics of all the theater go- ing people, and none but the most at tractiVe companies were drawing cards. The eastern public which has been neglected during this time IS new ready to receive those companies.
 As a sample of western judgment of trOupes the public here which has not enjoyed seeing the best plays until re- gently, is now critical and an ordinary troupe plays to a cool audience. Mr. Patton met with success in mak.r rg ar engagements when he first went east, but before he left and since his return many of the engag agements have been cancelled. It is not likely the opera goer will be disappointed next winter
 but whether the home stayers here during the summer months VIII be treated to their usual enterta; nment at the park theater of evenings is urcer- tain. MT. Patton says that a company which stays here more than three weeks will not be patTonized Phoe- nix VII no longer receive ''Larn- stormers,' so that the park theater cannot be maintained without unusual expense. To br.ng troupes here it will be necessary then to play them on th9 road; send them over to the Coasl, whence they will return east. If tn western circuit can be done profit i ably in the face of the GrawbacAs l enumel ated, the summer evening plays 1 will be the usual feature here.

Never had they seen a man run quite so fast and the joke which worked like clOck-WOrk, was enjoyed hugely.

But if this marriage occurred at all it was after the arrest of Hayes on telegram from Sheriff Murray.
 MT. List is engaged in trying to have Hayes released of the charge Of horse stealing and obtaining money by fraudulent representation. He made the first charge himself, but the other was made by Walter Lund of Glendale, who. it is thought will withdraw his complaint on the return of the money he gave Hayes on a bogus cheek Mir List will likely furnish the money. He does not regard Hayes as a model son. in-law, but he thinks that now tha. things have taken the course they have it is better to keep them going that way. So Hayes will likely be re- leased and fully forgiven today.
 The second set of elopers, Pedro Silvas and 14-year-old Rita Lopez, were before Justice Johnstone yester- day afternoon.

OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN.
Post-Graduate Work for Graduates of
 Agricultural Colleges.

! Washington, July 5.-The secretary of agriculture has about perfected a plan whereby graduates from agricul- turai colleges can come to the depart memt and do postgraduate work. Many of the agricultural colleges i throughout the country are turning out every year good men, who are often prevented from continuing the valuable lines of special work which they pursued while in college through inability to continue their studies. The secretary's pan, which has re- celyed much careful thought and con sideration, will make it possible for such young men to spend a year or two in Washington working under the direction of the heads of scientific di- visions. It is not expected Mat they shall undertake any original work, but carry on such Investigations as may be assigned to them. It is pre- posed to pay men of this kind ncmi- nal salary, barely enough to cover ex-
 
 induce them to come here as to af- ford an opportunity for deserving young men to advance in the special fields they have chosen while in CO., lege.
 Some new lines Of work are being inaugurated by the secretary, and it Is almost impossible to find men for these Investigations. By bringing young men here and training them in these lines, opportunities vii. be af- forded for broadening such work in many directions. Arrangements have been made with 1 the civil service commission whereby | candidates for these positions are to submit . statement as to their stand | ing while in college, their work since graduating and a thesis On the special | line of investigation in which they | may be interested. With this for a l basis the secretary can make. such se-

He wrote letters to ircn dealers in the east to ascertain the prospective prices and did not receive answers in full until yesterday. But the report was due at the last council meeting. At that .ime he explained why his report was l not complete. Strained relations en- | sued between MT. Davison and Corn- | eilman Sanders, another cause for Ir. Davison's resignation.
