Ar7zona's Governor Advocates Sale OF In
dian Reserves.

Governor Murphy of Arizona In his
annual report advocates the sale aud
settlement of the large Indian reserves
within the territory, with the possible
exception of the Navajo reservation in
northeastern Arizona, and the govern
ment construction of reservoirs for the
storage of water for irrigation in suita'
BILE locations, with canals leading to
the lands allotted to the Indians. The
governor says the latter section, in
which Indian labor could be largely
utilized, would help to make farmers
of the Indians, and that further main
tenance of the tribal relations as now
conducted and the retention of reser-
vation agencies around which the In
dians cluster and live in idleness on
government rations, seriously retards
the civilization of the Indians.

New York.

Seth Low, former president of Column
bia university, and fonr years ago the
Citizens Union candid ate for the first
mayor of Greater New York, was
elected the second IN ayor Of Greater
New York, Tuesday, by plurality
ranging anywhere fir pm 80, 900 to 4o,-
900, defeating Edward M. Shepard of
Brooklyn, the Demo cratic nominee.
The campaign was an exciting one, and
the vote, though some what less than in
the presidential election year ago,
was the largest ever polled in a muni-
cipal contest in this country.
In addition to the ca n vass for mayor,
public interest largely centered In the
nomination by the fusi ionists of William
Travers Jerome for district attorney,
and Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck, by
the Democrats, for justice of the su-
preme court, who were o voted for in the
territory contained in New York coun-
ty. Returns indicate that Jerome has
been elected by comfortable plurality
and that Mayor Van Wyck has been
defeated, the latter ru nning behind his
ticket from Is, 900 to 20, 0OO
Reports received from various Sec
tions of New York sthte show that the
Republicans will retain control of the
lower house of the state legislature,
the number of Republican and Demo-
cratic assemblymen not differing ma
terially from the figures of preceding
years.
