PROF. DOUGLAS
 IS BANQUETTED
pREs,peNT OF siseEE ROAD IS GIVEN HEARTY RECEPTION
Leading People of EI Paso Attene Banquet Held There Last Weo
 nesday Evening-Dousias Here


 The chamber of commerce of Ell Paso gave a banquet there last wed nesday evening to Professor James w Douglas of the Bisbee road It was the most successful event of the kind ever held in Fl Paso, all Of the prominent people being present to re spond to toasts.
 The cause of the banquet was the formal inauguration of the EA Paso and Southwestern railroad, which will have passenger trains running between Bisbee and Fl Paso about the middle of this month. In E Paso this additional railroad is taken as one of the most important events Tn the history of that city.
 President Douglas and Walter Doug las arrived in the city last night from Fl Paso, and both expressed their deep appreciation of the corolai manner in which they were received by the people of Fl Paso. They feel sincerely grateful for the grand recep- ton.
 A toast was drunk to President Douglas, who was then presented by the toastmaster' to the assembly.
 Professor Douglas delivered one or the most interesting addresses ever heard in that city. He quoted staus- tics and traced the development of the southwest from the early days. wnen the prospector had first to fight the Indian. then the barren desert in ms search for fortune.
 Professor Doug'as related the ms tory of the Copper Queen company of Bjsbee. and told how he endured hard ships in the days before railroads in order to locate and develop the great conner properties that are now num- bered amons the most valuable in the world. .
 MT, Douglas showed that copper to- day is almost as important as iron as a commercial factor. and he predlct- ed that as an industry it would soon rank with the much-vaunted iron King.
 Railroad building, Professor Doug las showed. was only incidental to the development of his company's copper properties. However. he dweit upon the importance of the road to the southwest. and especially to Fl Paso, and showed conclusiyely that the benefit to accrue to Fl Paso was very great. s.a.s.s,a l -g..S,
 Professor Douglas was listened 10 with rapt attention and was frequently and often applauded. EE
 Others who delivered speeches were James Calhoun, president of the Ari- zon and New Mexico railroad; sDr. w. J. Davis, Judge Freeman. general attorney Texas & Pacific railroad; L. S. Thorne. general manager of the Texas & Pacific railroad; Mayor B. F. Hammett: Consul Francisco Mauen; District Attorney J. NJ. Dean. A. E. Mrs and c N. Buckler. Consul 2. W. Kindrick was toastmaster.
 At the head of the tables sat 2rof- Douglas. president of the Copper Queen company, and guest of honor. On his right were c. R. Morehead, U. 8. Stewart. James Calhoun and Mayor Hammett. On his left were President Bray of the. chamber of commerce, Consul c. w Kindrick, the toastmas- ter. Felix Martinez and Richard Ca ples

BISeEE SHOULD HAVE ONE DUR
 ING WINTER MONTHS
Billy Swan Starts the ball rolling by saying That Team Will Organize If it Gets Proper Support

If the people will support it We will have football team in this city during the winter said Billy Swan yesterday afternoon. There is plen- ty of material here for a crack team, and all that is needed to make it a success is the. right kind of support from the people. The baseball season is now over, and Bisbee is too much of a city to be without an athletic team of some kind.
 Tn Captain Smith of the baseball team, we would have one of the best coaches in the west. He has had con siderable experience in the east, hay ing played for several seasons with Princeton. With him to drill the boys into shape and the material that Is at hand we could get together a team that would not need to take a back seat for any of them.
 "AH we need now to make the thing a go is some encouragement from the railroad company, which should be willing to at least furnish a team transportation to outside towns when games were to be played. The boys would all be wilaing to play if their expenses were paid, and would go into the game to win.
 Several of the boys have been dis cussing the matter of football team. and are willing to go, to yt,rk at once if they are certain that the team will be properly supported. Some of them would even be willing to buy their own suits. though this should be done by those who care athletics
 |. There are now in this city several who have played on strong eleyens who would be eager to see team or ganized- Several who are in the em- ploy of the Copper Queen company are clever players, and would add strength to the team, Among those who have been already mentioned are Captain Smith. "Muggsy" Allen. v. E. Swan, Ed Mailey, Harry Davis. Heber Baird and Pitchers White and MeKenna. There are several others who have not yet played the game to any great extent who would become fast players with training.

CITY COUNCIL WAITING TO BE
 CRITICISED BY PUBLIC

 How Aldermen Have Spent Funds

Have Invited Merchants and Citizens
 To Be Present Tonight ard Tell
 How Aldermen Have Spent Funds The city council meeting tonight is expected to be along the sensational order. Seve-a' days ago the council extended an invitation to the mer- chants and citizens, asking them to appear and tell why they are not sat. isfied with the actions of the present councilmen. This was to have been done last Tuesday evening, but not make up quorum.
 The members of the council take strong exception to the manner in which their official acts have been criticised and have arranged this meeting for the purpose of vindicating themselves. They will be prepared to furnish an itemized account of the money expended since they have been in office. Along with this they will show the city's financial condition at the time the present board went into office several months ago.
 The members of the council who were seen yes oerday. all expressed a desire to have as many of the business men present as possible, and the mat ter given thorough hearing before it is laid aside.
 If some who have been criticisine our actions win come forward and make their assertions before the board it will give us chance to show just what we have done with the city s money while we have been handling it. As long as the matter is only talk ed on the streets We cannot defend our official acts. In fact, we do not feel called upon to do so. The meet ing tonight will give all a chance to censure what We have done, and We want them 10 come forward at this time." said an alderman yesterday.
 Tt is only fair to Ihe members of the council to blame them where they can make some kind of a reply. We cannot do this outside of the council chambers, though as individuals we might take some exception to what is being said. If no one comes to dis cuss the matter with us, We will feel that they are willing to back down from the position formerly taken

westminster's Stained Glass.
 The great rose window in the south transept of the abbey, which has just been dedicated to the memory of the late Duke of Westminster. reveals the poverty in the matter of stained glass of our national Valhalla. The Puritan iconoclasts made short shrift of the magnificent and priceless glass of the thirteenth. fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Fragments alone could be found to form the Extraordinary patchwork" of the great east window, where scarcely any figure is distin- guishable. The great west window be- longs to the reign of George H., whose arms are in the center. From the same period dates the window in the south transept Then there is a window in the southwest tower given by Mir. Childs of Philadelphia to the memory of the two religious poets, George Herbert and William Cowper, both Westminster scholars. True. the chap ter horsc close by is not so badly of. Its windows, setting forth various in- cidents in the abbey story, were pre- sented by the late queen and by Ameri- can and English subscribers. But as the space available for monuments dininishes the stained glass window seems all appropriate commemoration for men of more national importance than the late Duke of Westminster London Daily Chronicle.

Why Americans Have Small Families
 According to Professor Vierkandt, German sociologist. the question whether American race superiority can make itself felt in the world at large depends on the size of American fami- lies. He notes. q Berlin dispatch says. "a tendency which discourages large families because of the standard of comfort required" No observing per son will deny that there is such tend. ency in this country. The Americans like children, but they hesitate to be come responsible for the welfare and comfort of large families. Four chil. dren in family are an unusual num- Der. six makes big family nowadays. and eight invite the imputation of reck- less prodigality. If Europe is safe from an American invasionI until American families grow bigger. 1t can rest easy in it's mind. At present the tendency seems to be the other way. They say that. the French are growing more peaceabie. more thrifty and richer. They are not invaders nowadays in commerce. and they are less and less disposed to aggressive war. They have no spare population. So it may be with

cotton should not sell at least a cent
