James Reed Injured.

Mr.. James Reed struck his leg against
a cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. became very much
swollen and panied him SO badly that he
could not walk without the aid of
crutches. He was treated by physicians,
also used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons of whisky in bath
ing it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost complete
cure in weeks time and he believes
that had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated. Mr.,
Reed is one of the leading merchants OF

Mr.. H. W. Szegedy, president of the Cen

erence to the matter at issue was precisely
the same as that of Mr.. Spohn, and he IN
dorsed every word the latter had said rela-
tive to the subject, adding:
1.-The Central Labor Union has already
defined its position on the question, having,
as is already known, approved of the course
of The Star management The Central La
Dor Union will take no further action about
the complaint until the matter is brought
before 1t in proper shape, if the matter Is
ever called to its attention. l have been

The Stars Position.

Mr.. Frank b. Noyes, treasurer of The
Star, who represented it in arranging for
the construction of the new building. said:
The case can be put in a nutshell. The
same reason that led The Star Company to
adopt marble instead of a cheaper stone or
terra Gotta, though the difference in cost was
more than $4,000 compelled it, in spite of
it's inclination to favor local workmen in
every particular, to come to the conclusion
that to get a beautifully matched piece of
marbework it was necessary to have the
stone cut at the quarry, where defective
stone could be rejected at once and the en-
tire responsibility definitely placed those
supplying the stone. This view represents
the unanimous opinion of a large number of
disinterested experts consulted and will be
concurred in, | believe, by any honest man
of average intelligence who considers the
matter
THE question of cost was not considered,
because, matter of fact. one Baltimore
bidder offered to cut the stone here for less
than we are paying. The marble selected is
one of the most expensive known, and was
chosen after an exhaustive consideration
because we believe that the use of it will
insure building of which both The Star
and Washington can well be proud.
Il do not believe one word of the printed
statements regarding the conditions at
Proctor, where the stone is quarried and
handled by the Vermont Marble Company.
Senator Redfield Proctor is the largest own
er in the company and was for years its
president and manager, positions now filed
by his Far from apoiogizng for the
treatment of its employees by the marble
company, Senator Proctor is exceedingly
proud of the community which bears his
name and which is made up of the employees
of his company.
THE entire agitation of the matter seems
to be by Mr.. McHugh. who is prominent
among the soft-stone cutters, and who So
licited me to give the work of carving to a
friend of his Mr.. McHugh afterward be-
came grossly offensive in his manner and /
was obliged to decline any further relations
with him.
with the committee from the Building
Trades Council my relations have been most
pleasant, and ] think they will bear witness
that l have met them In a spirit of the ut
most fairness and friendliness to organized
labor. They recognize that the contract for

has caused 1t to be worded assures to Local

Without the assistance of drummers or agents. fake names for his portraits, the sale of tickets, paying others to secure sittings or borrowing the sup posed reputation of others, MT. Medley has in the short space of thirty months created the largest portrait business in Arizona. MT. Medley points with pride to the fact that He was the Sole owner cf one of the iarg- est galleries in Massachusetts, at 255 Essex street, Lawrence; the sole oWll- CT of the largest gallery ever built ir Colorado, at 115 West Fourth street, Pueblo. and is today the sole owner of the largest and Cnly portrait gallery ever built in Arizona. When this gal iery was first spoken of. MT. William O'Neill had some doubt of such a thing paying, but the reputation of Mr. Nj ealey brushed all doubts aside, and what was then thought to be too large for Phoenix today needs more room, which will come Tn time. MT. Mealey will add new grounds, new associates and overhaul the gallery during the hot months. The only old thing left will be MT Maaley's reputation, and that will keep for years. Remember. Mi. Medley has no agents, no fakes sell tickets or borrow reputation; but will now and always make the finest por trait work that money and skill will turn cut. He invites an inspection and dafies competition.

THE SUPREME COURT
Many Opinions were Handed
 Down Yesterday.
Among Them Were Two Showing That While HariCopa County Can Tax Bank Stocks The City Of Phoenix Cannot.

The territorial supreme court handed
 down opinions in a great number of
 cases yesterday and adjourned until October 30. Among the opinions were
 those affecting the county and city bank taxing cases. In the cases of the
 Farmers and Merchants bank of
 Tempe, the Mesa City bank and the Western Investment Banking com pany against D. L. Murray, county treasurer and tax collector, and the Western Investment Banking company and the National Bank of Arizona against A. A. Long, city assessor and tax collector, judgments had been given the defendants in district court. These actions were brought to restrain the defendants from the sale of the shares of stock for taxes.
 The supreme court affirmed the judg- ment of the lower court in the county cases, but reversed it in the city eases cn the ground that the city is afforded no shadow of authority tC assess bank stock Section 5219, U. s. R. S., au- thorizes the territorial legislature to provide for the assessment and taxa tiOn of bank stocks and a territoria. statute subsequently, prescribed the manner of doing it. It does not pro- vide, though, that it shall be done other than by counties, nor is there anything in the charter of the city of Phoenix authorizing the assessment of and collection of taxes upon such stock The holder of bank stock, if 3 resident of the city might be taxed by the city upon it the same as any other personal property held by him might be taxed. Such a proceeding, how ever, would have nothing to do with any existing law for taxing the stock held by the bank for it's stockholders.
 In the two cases of J. H. HampsOu vs. B. B. Adams and Frank DysarJ. from Graham county, the judgment Of the lower court was affirmed. These were also injunction proceedings to prevent the collection of taxes. The appellant is an extensive cattleman, and the defendants were at different times collectors of Graham county. Hampson's assessment had been raised and he resisted the collection of taxes on the increased assessment. Judg- ment was given against him in the lower court. A similar and later case in which Hampson is plaintiff has just been compromised in Graham

FRUIT SHTPM ENTS.
The Outside Trade Has Been Doubled
 This Year.

D. Campbell of Los Angeles, travel ing agent fer Wells, Fargo & Co., is ;n | the city. His figures concerning the fruit shipped from Phoenix this season are surprising, showing the business to be almost double what it was last season. Within fifteen days 125, 900 pounds have been shipped by express
 During the month Of May 150 towns
 in Texas. 115 in Kansas, and many
 places in Nebraska, Illinois, Colorado and other states have been supplied
 with Salt River valley fruit There were shipments Of good quantities Of fruit as far as Boston and New York. There are many places in Kansas now which call for regular shipments two or three times a week.
 The people of EurcDa were hardly mere surprised when they witnessed the American pioneers smoking the tobacco leaf than were the people of many parts Of Kansas on seeing an aD rlcot MT. Campbell, who had charge of the shipment, said that he had lived in Kansas ten years and had never seen an apricot there. The dealer who received the apricots wrote to tne sender that he had some difficulty in introducing the fruit, for the reason that people didn't know what an aD- 1oCI We1S- GuI II ulu HOL require more than one trial for them to develop T liking fer them.
 Many farmers in this valley who have been raising fruit for six or seven years say this is the first profitable season. On account Of the reaching uut Of the carly fruit industry dealers have experienced difficulty in getting enough to supply the outside demand,
 MT. Campbell is optimistic of the fruit industry of this valley He be- lieves that if it is possible to get the fruit the shipments next year will be still farther extended. He is of the opinion that the amount exported will be double that of this season.
 MT. Campbell gives encoura cement to the farmer. He says that the ex- press rates were lowered slightly this season, and he believes they will de crease more next year. In order to

A MILK BATH
Which Phoenix Citizen Found
 0reparC d for Him.

About a month ago 6 Phoenix lady
 went to the coast and forgot to tell
 the milkman, who had been delivering
 a bucket which stocI on Q shelf di-
 rectly over the bath tub. The bucke.
 was in it's place and every morning for
 three weeks the milkman ran to the window dumped a quart of milk into the bucket which he only knew by long association to be there, for t was too dark to see, and ran away to catch his wagon which was already moving off toward the next customers. Everybody has seen a milkman deliv- cIing milk in the early morning. This dealer never bothered about tickets for he had a monthly contract The huS- band of the household, a well known attorney, was in and out of town and never in any part of his house but his sleeping apartment. He took his bath down town. The other night lie want ed tc take a shower bath before re- tiring. Then he made a lelcteal dis c0very. The bath tub was half full of white looking fluid. He sat down and locked at it. Then he turned on the water cock to see if it had come from the pipe, but the water was all right. He dipped his finger into the tub and held it to his nose, but tha odcr was not pleasant He ina gined that the bath room smelled like 3 neg iected cheese factory. At last he nU- ticcd the bucket on the shelf and the open window. The solution Of the si1- uation was complete. He got a shot gun and lay in wait fer the milkmar, but shortly before midnight he got sleepy, threw the bucket out and put down the window and nailed it.
 The next morning he hired a colored man to bail cut and scrub the bath tub and remove as far as possible the dairy smell from the room.
