MIR. BILLIARD EXPLAINS.
Says He Has Not Given Up Fight on
Bible in Schools.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In Saturdays Journal the heading OF
yOhr article Billiard Gives Up is slight
ly leading. I am not aware that
have given up. BY the fairness and
justice of Superintendent DavidSOn'S
go back to school and would be restored
to the full benefits thereof without be-
ing required to take part in religious
exercises or stopping his studies dur
ing their continuance.
That is all that had asked; all had
been contending for, consequently have
nothing left to bring before the school
board.
If this is giving up, then General
Grant gave up when he stopped fighting
after General Lee had surrendered;
George Washington gave up when he
recognized the independence of the
United States.
Your statement that 1 would not con-
tinue the fight against the reading of
the Bible in the schools is not correct

of the Bible, repeating the Lords prayer
and every form of religious exercises in
our public schools Such exercises are
contrary to the principles of religious
liberty on which our government is
founded and in direct conflict to our
state constitution which states that no
person can be compelled to attend or
support any form of worship. Every
form of religious exercises in our
schools compelS every scholar to attend
worship; compels every tax payer to
support the same.
1 protest against it as a citizen and
tax payer and shall continue to fight
against it in every legal way possible
until our schools are entirely freed from
religion. J. B. BILLIARD.

ALL CASTRO'S FAULT.
Disturbances Between Venezuela and
Colon ia.

Colon, Colombia, Jan. 6.-General
Andrade, the former president of Vene
zuela, who arrived here from Curacao
said today in the course of an interview
on board a train bound for Panama:
1T is not Venezuela who is the enc
my of Colombia The VenezuelanS have
absolutely no desire for war with Col
ombia. Venezuela and Colombia dur
ing the past 20 years have always re-
garded each other as sister republics
bound by the closest and most friendly
ties and they are now for the first time
enemies, thanks to Castro's machina-
tions.''
Referring to the international trou-
bles of Venezuela Gen. Andrade said
that he was satisfied that the whole
country was in revolt against Castro
and that he was likely to fall at any
time
Gen, Matos. who Andrade said, was
an immensely rich honorable man, a
perfect gentleman, much esteemed and
well supported in many quarters would
possibly be a candidate for the presi-
dency, once Castro was overthrown.
Andrade added that he himself was
willing to seek reelection. When ques-
toned on the subject of the Venezuelan
revolutionary steamer Libertador (Bs1n
Righ) Andrade said he was confident
the expedition would succeed in effect
ing landing on some eastern point of
the Venezuelan coast.

BAKER STIRS UP CRUM.
Ex-senator Has a Little Fun With
His Old Lieutenant.

Probably no one is enjoying the trou-
bles of Senator Burton more than his
late rival, ex-senator Lucien Baker.
Senator Baker was over from Leaven-
worth one evening last week on rail-
road business. but he refused to say a
word concerning the political situation.
He met Lit Crum, though, who was
once a Baker man but is now in the
Burton camp. Baker does not like
Crum since the 1atter'S deSertion of him
and he could not refrain from making
a few observations for Crums benefit.
Fred Vandegrift tells the following
story of their meeting:
Come over to the drug store and
have a drink with me, Lit" Senator
Baker said to Crum.
II don't drink" Crum replied
Neither do /. Only mineral water
Come"
It don't want even water
well, come and see me drink"
But Crum was suspicious, and he
said: "Wen, all right, if you will get
somebody else to go, too" Crum wanted
a witness.
mo, come alone"
Crum reluctantly followed his former
chief, and while they were waiting for
the young man to wait on them, Mr..
Baker said:
Lit, when was a boy used to see
other boys impale flies with pins for the
purpose of seeing them Squirm- That IS
the fix you and the other fellows of
your crowd had me in last winter. but
now CnaI IS IuG way L We gu JOo.
Crum, who is an inveterate chewer of
gum, ceased operations and gazed at
Baker with open jaws, as is his habit
when he comes up against anything
suddenly Baker took a sup of water,
and resumed:
That's a rotten crowd you have been
training with for the last two years,
Lit They are a pack of sons-of-guns
Here the ex-senator took another
swallow of water, and Crum. recover
ing his presence of mind, returned to
his chewing.
Lit" Baker continued, III tell you
the difference between Burton and me-
The fellows 1 appointed We're second
and third-ciass sons-of-guns. The fel-
lows Burton is trying to appoint are
fifth and sixth class sons of-guns."
Here Mr.. Baker smiled a hard smile
into Crums face, and Crum's jaws fell
apart again.
What do you think about it, Lit?"
Baker asked.
'.Wen,' Crum replied, 81 think Bur
toms sons of-guns will stay by him"
sePerhaps and perhaps" the former
senator said. Perhaps they will if he
gets them in"

Venezuelan Rebels.

pay of the crew of the steamer Ban
RICH (recently renamed the Liber-
tador and now in the service of the
Venezuelan revolutionists) to relatives of
the men, has received orders from the
island of Martinique to stop payments,

they found the Ban Righ full of gun

a New Glvoerine Bomb.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 6.-B. Pettingill of
this city has invented glycerine pro-
jectile, which, if the claims of the in
ventor hold good, will prove of great
Importance. The mechanism of the in
vention is a secret and Pettingill is now
negotiating with the United States gov
eminent for the sale of the device. The
matter will be considered by the or
dnance department today. The inven-
ton, Pettingin says, is shell that will
carry without the least conclusion from
fifty to two hundred pounds of g1ycerine
oil as far as the ordinary shell can be
carried by ordinary modern ordnance.
The conclusion necessary to project this
shell, he says, is by his device, reflected
back to the sides of the shell so that the
glycerine oil is not disturbed in the

DENVER HAS yIGILANTES.
Armed Citizens to Patrol the Streets
to Keep Out Criminals.

Denver, Jan. e.-This city will present a
decidedly martial aspect if plans adopted
at a mass meeting of citizens are carried
out. Because of the many crimes that
have been committed here within the last
year or two, Denver residents have organ
lied a committee of safety. The streets
are to be patrolled by armed citizens,
who will be expected to keep the town
free of the criminal class. Everyone on
the streets at night will be expected to
give an account of himself when called
upon. Police magistrates will be urged to
make punishment for crime SO heavy as
to deter even the desperate. For months
past thugs and thieves have oVerrun the
city. Women have been attacked in their
own homes and on the streets and hold
ups and robberies have been of almost
daily occurrence

AFRAID OF ROCKEFELLER.
Paris Newspaper Says the American
Wants to Supply Gas to the City.

Paris. Jan. LA Liberte has pub
lished report to the effect that the
RockefellerS intend to apply for a con-
cession to supply gas to the city of
Paris. The paper opposes this scheme
vigorously and says it would be an act
of mental alteration to accept such a
proposition, which would be disastrous
to national production and a powerful
help to the designs of the Americans,
who wish not only to expel foreign in
dustry from their own country, but who
seek to Supplant foreigners on their own
ground. La Liberte says the Rookie
feIlers would not use a ton of French
coal, and that the granting of this con
cession to them would be a mighty
weapon for the realization of the eco
nomic schemes of American Imperialism

DISEASE PRISON.
Warden McClaughry Advocates Iso-
lation of Consumptives.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 6-Consump-
ton is spreading rapidly among the in
mates of the federal penitentiary and
Warden McClaughry says that the gov
eminent must take steps in the near
future to check it. He thinks federal
prison for tuberculosis convictS should
be established at Yuma, N. NJ, or some
other town in that section of the coun-
try. He suggests Yuma for the reason
that there is a territorial prison there
now which could be fitted up at less ex-
pense than it would cost to build new
one outright.
I'VE have more convicts here suffer-
ing with consumption than all other
diseases combined" said he. II have
become convinced that consumption is
infectious The contagion is spreading.
We have only one hospital here now
and must throw all classes of patients
together. A consumptive convict is
placed alongside of a convict suffering
from some other disease. Although the
other convict may have no symptoms
of tuberculosis, in his sick condition he
is compelled to breathe the air from the
vicinity of the consumptive; he draws
some of the germs into his lungs and in
due time he has the dieSaSe''

Bisbee daily review., 1902-07-03

on sympathetic strlges, men keep at work and contribute from their earn ;ngs to the cause of the men who are on a strike because they have a gniev- ance. No set of .lsT and no irdivid- ual man can afford to ride, rough shod, over a true friend; .. by such course will all friends be ma :, enemies oi opponents. The just man, the friend of labor, who is made the victim of a sympathetic strike and who has his business damaged or ruined thereby, will not thereafter loom up as a very strong champion of organized labor Few innocent men are willing to suffer for the guilty. Christ is said to have done something of that sort. but he was more largely endowed with the spirit of God than the commonplace employer of men today.

On the excursion train which will arrive in Bisbee this evening from Fl Paso will be a number of the leading business men of that city. These men come here to join in our celebration and to get. acquainted with our imp0r tance as a business point. They should be given every opportunity to do so. Fl Paso is an important railroad cen ter, four trunk lines connecting it with the east. When eastern people reach Fl Paso many of them expect to get in formation there regarding the best lo cations further west for business en- terprises and investments. Much good will come to Bisbee if the Fl Paso business men have a thorough knowl edge of the many trade advantages of this city. Bisbee is the second largest city in Arizona More men are em- ployed in the mineral industry here than in any other two districts in Arizona, and more copper was pro ouced in Bisbee last year than in any other Arizona camp. The present year will show still greater increase in pro- duction In the Fl Paso party win also be many mining men, who when they return home will have constant oppor- tunity to say 8 good word for Bisbee and our splendid surrounding mineral district if they are favorabIy impressed by simple statement of the facts

Smalley has been a resident of Arizona for only four or five years, still there are few men who have accomplished more in making known to the outside world the wonderful resources of ArIz- ona, its many industrial advantages and magnificent climate. There is scarcely mining camp in Arizona that has not been visited and written up by MT. Smalley in his capacity of newspaper correspondent. During the last year MT. Smalley was the ed itor and proprietor ofthe Tucson Post. He is a fluent writer. He will make an admirable private secretary. He is not a politician, but he probably knows as much about the political workings in Arizona as any other man.
