The Missionaries
Are Defended.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-Minister
Conger, who arrived here last night
from China, defends the missionaries
and says they did not loot.
Mr.. Conger says regarding the mis-
sionaries:
"They found 2,002 destitute Chinese
on their hands, and to succor these with
the lack of organized authority, impera-

the circumstances are known, the acts
of the missionaries will be seen to be
justified.

How Great Men
Get a Start.

Frank Cox, now attorney for the
Southern Pacific railroad company, was
at one time reporter employed upon
one OF the Phaenix newspapers. Last teve-
ming while waiting for the train Mr.. Cox
related his experience as reporter and
told of one incident which nearly cost
him his life
A certain building was to be removed
from juxtaposition to the Presbyterian
church and in mentioning this impor-
tant piece Of news Mr.. Cox stated that
the owner was about to seperate from
the church. The metaphor did not strike
the owner OF the building as it was in
tended. The owner was member OF the
church, and he attended regularly.
When the item appeared he lost his faith
for time, however, and was particu-
larly suspicious OF Mr.. Cox. He believed
that the paper had set about to ruin him
and the owner at once set about to
close the ambitious career of Mr.. Cox,
the reporter.
In relating the meeting with the
owner Mr.. Cox said that it was trying
moment of his life. Since entering the
law Mr.. Cox has never made a more
forceful argument; his plea met with
frequent interruption and objection to
which Mr.. Cox took immediate excep-
tion. He finally had to take the owner
of the building to the spot where the
building was being torn from the church
and explain what the item meant.
Mr.. Cox said that after that expert
ence he was careful to furnish a key to
every joke or alleged pun that he wrote
for his paper.
Mr.. Cox was reporter at the time
Buckley O'Neill, was engaged in news.
paper work in Phoenix. Buckley show
ed the same aggresiveness in his news
paper work which ever after character
lied his life, and it was the spirit of
dash and bravery which caused his
death ON San Juan hill when he lead
his troop into the storm of mauser
bullets. Buckley used to say that there
is not respectable starvation" in the
newspaper business in Phoenix, and
the condition of the Phoenix papers
today show unmistakabie signs that
Buckley had properly sized up the situa-
ton.
In Tucson one OF the most successful
citizens today was at one time re-
porter. He is General L. A. Man
ming. Col. Zabriskie secured the mo-
mentum of his vigorous career in a
newspaper Office, Capt. Moore, register
OF the land office was reporter and
editor at one time, and printers ink
still has an influence over him. E. J.
Trippel was once the coast editor of the
San Francisco Chronicle. and Ezra
Bartlett got his start in a newspaper
office. District Attorney Cooper ran a
newspaper in the backwoods of Tenne-
ssee and afterward edited the Florence
Tribune. He was later city editor of
The Citizen. Sidney r. DeLong started
the first paper in Tucson and twenty
years ago he presented dictionary to
The Citizen which is still doing service
in this Office.

CONFERENCE WITH CUBANS
Has Been General, Covering all
Points They Desired to Discuss.
VERY SATISFACTORY RESULT.

Washington, April 2e.-There was
another conference with the Cuban
delegates at the war department last
ing more than three hours At this
sitting not only the present relations
of the United States and Cuba were
discussed. but much time was devoted
to the economic questions, such as the
possibility of reduction of the tariff
on sugar and general reciprocity
engagements between this country and
Cuba
The Cubans were again escorted to
the White House to say good bye to
the president No statement, official
or otherwise, could be obtained from
the delegation to the progress that
was made during the conference. nor
would the delegates go to far to say
that they Were satisfied. While it is
believed by the United States officials
who were present at the conference
that everything that could possibly be
explained by this government had been
gone into, yet if the Cubans desire to
make further inquiries they will be
given the opportunity It is believed
by the United States officials that q.
very fair understanding has been
reached and that the complete report
of the interviews with the secretary
which the delegation will take back

One OF the problems which has given
the management of Suez canal much
trouble is that of the sand which blows
into it, adding to the dredging expens-
es. A considerable number OF plants
have been tried in the effort to fix the
sands so that a comparatively small
quantity would be blown into the ca
nal. All of these plants have failed
except one, which, it is now believed,
will be quite effective in keeping thu
sand in place. This large plant is the
casuarina tree. 1t thriveS in the south
ern hemisphere, and grows well on
the sand banks that skirt the Suez
canal 1t not only survives intense
drought, but also excessive humidity,
which is important, as the northera
part of the canal is subject to mum
dations at some periods and droughts
at other seasons of the year The roots
of this tree penetrate the sand so deep
1y that they tap subterranean sources
of water. Many of the trees planted
twenty-five years ago have thrived SO
we'll in their new habitat that they
are now over forty feet in height. All
who have studied the problem of sand
fxation are certain that this tree will
offer important resistance to the move
ment of sand along the canal Steps
are being taken to plant it extensively.
