her. s
Mr.. Forester soon followed. He

The President of the Senate, NJ. Fal.
lieres, received letter today, in which
the Marquis says:
"At the present moment, when the
Government OF the Republic is striving
desperately to ruin industry and conn
merce, paralyze national work, disorgan-
ize the army and destroy religious faith
in word. to destroy the fatherland it,
self--l intend to provoke another public
discussion before the High Court on the
question OF who are the real authors oi
the conspiracy threatening the existence
of France. | hold myself at your dis.
position"
The Marquis de Lur-Saluces sought
refuge in Belgium, where he was closely
watched by the police, whom he succeed
ed in eiuding and returned to his man
sion in Paris few days ago.
The return OF the Marquis is charact-
erized by the ministerial press AZ q
supreme maneuyer by the royaiists and
the religious congregations TO delay the
Senate's action on the Law OF associa-
tions, as 1t is imagined the Senate will
be obliged to suspend its legislative
work in order to convert itself into q
high court. The ministerial newspapers
predict that this maneuyer will fall be-
cause the Senate will dispose Of the Law
OF associations first and even assist the
Government by Fastening the adoption
OF the bill.
The royalist agent general, NJ. Buffet,
is now In Geneva, where he is conferring
with the Duke OF Orleans. This would
indicate that the return OF the Marquis
de Lur-Saluces is part OF prearranged
scheme Of royalist agitation.

Mystery Of the Death Of
James Ayres In Washington

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-Three pistol
shots and cry OF "Helpr were heard
in the Kenmore Hotel, and the body oi
James Seymour Ayres was found in one
of the hotel rooms in pool of blood and
blood spots have been discovered in one
of the halls. This is briefly the story oi
a case TO which the Washington de-
tective force has been assigned and
| which is regarded as one of the most
puzzling problems the Washington
police have ever been called upon TO
| solve.
| There is apparently no clue 70 the
Identity, Of such other persons as were
in Ayers room when the shots were
fired. The ont cry was 30 mild and the
investigation made by the hotel en-
ployes was 20 slight that nothing was
discovered at the time. A report was
made by the patrolmsn who discovered
the body of Ayres this morning that the
man had committed suicide and the
body was removed TO the morgue. Va
rious circumstances led the coroner to
doubt the theory of suicide and he sent
word TO police headquarters at once that
the mans death should be thoroughly
investigated An inquest has been or
dered for Wensday morning.
Ayres, who was q years old, was
clerk in the Census Office and was ap-
pointed from Port Austin, Mich. His
father, ]. s. AyFes, lives st Grand Rap
ids and is an insurance agent. The
young man was rather popular at the
hotel, and particularly so with the wo-
men guests. OF late he had been study
ing assidnously to p So an examination
in the Columbian Dental School. Last
night he reached his room about mid
night. James Burns of the Government
Printing Office, and ]. v. Virgins of
Texas, who were also dodgers at the
Kenmore. were with him for about half
an hour after his return 10 the hotel
building.
1t is said that loud talking and laugh
ter we're heard in front OF the hotel at
the time Ayres 10 supposed to have re-
tired. About 2 o'clock three shots in
rapid succession, followed by the cry:

sons called in loud tones to know the

The Manufacture Of
Brick to Begin at Benson

Two weeks ago The Benson Press pre-
sented an article outlining the establish
ment at Benson Of q brick and tile fac
tory, which project was then under way.
Now the felicity is granted Of stating
that the company proposed has been or.
ganized, the machinery ordered and the
factory win be in operation at Benson
within ninety days. The company was
organized last week and its legal design-
alton ID the Arizona Clay Mannfactur-
ing Co.
The capital stock Of the company ID
t60, 900, and the stockholders comprise
business men Of Benson, Bisbee, Naco,
Douglass and NogaIes. The stock Ii
payable upon the call OF the board of di.
rectors. The directors Of the company
for the ensuing year are: ]. NJ. Casta-
media, Geo Sibley, j. T. Hood, W. G.
Land. r. r. Brown, n. Gerwein, Peter
johnson. ]. M. Castaneda 10 president,
]. T. Hood secretary and treasurer. r.
p. Brown vice-president and I. w. Wall.
ace general manager.
A site for the factory has been secured
upon the land Of J. M. Castaneda, i'm.
mediately adjoining the townsite upon
the south side, where seven acres of
land have been secured, and an order
has been sent east Tor q complete out
fit OF machinery which will cost tl2 ,0o0.-
90 at the factory. The requisite build
ings will be provided by the time the
machinery 10 upon the gronnd ready
for installation. .Artesian water will be
used and an abundance Of wood for fuel
is easily procured at the cost of three
dollars per cord, delivered.
The Press says that the factory will
have capacity OF $1,000 brick every
ten hours. Fire cay will be brought
from the Wetstone mountains, and the
clay beds right at Benson will also be
utilized. The product Of the factory
will be common and pressed brick, fire
brick roofing tile, drain tile. and irri-
eating tile, ornamental hollow blocks
and sewer pipe.
One day last week Mr. Castaneda ex.
eibited to The Press editor pressed
brick, machine made, from the Benson
clay. 1t certainly fills all requirements
for the very best building material. The
brick was more like perfect ashlar than

Legal Incorporation
Of Florence.

The matter of the disincorporation OF
the town OF Florence came up in court
Thursday morning. Mr.. Jesse Hard
esty, as attorney for John G. Harris,
presented . petition to the Court. The
prayer OF the petition wac that @ writ oi
certiorari be issued and directed to the
Clerk Of the Board OF Supervisors requir-
ing him TO furnish record Of the Board az
70 their action in the matters pertaining
to the incorporation Of the town OF Flor
ef,ce. District Attorney O'Connor as at
torney for the Board demanded that he
have notice of the intention to move for
the writ; therenpon the Court ordered
that Monday. May 2lst. be fixed for
hearing the motion.
This is matter In which every resi-
dent OF FloreHce 10 vitality interested,
and should be settled at once. II it be
true, as alleged. that the petition for in
corporation contained the names OF not
more than one-third OF the taxable in.
habitants OF Florence, when the law re,
quires at least two.thirds, and that
neither said petition nor the order Of
the Board based thereon incorporating
the town, contained a single necessary
jurisdictional fact upon which the Board
derived their power 10 act, the matter
should be Of very easy solution.
II We are only playing at incorporation
the tax payers ought to know 1t at once,
and not be subjected to innumerable
snits growing out Of an attempt to en-.
force void ordinances. II the people
want Incorporation, and have failed to
secure valid one, all they can do is to
back out and try it again. If, as claim
ed by MIR. Hardesty, the order of the
Board Incorporating the town was null
and void, no length of time can give 1t
validity, and every dollar collected from
the business men OF Florence under the
present pretended corporation is taken
from them without due process of law.
