Washington, D. C.. Oct. 29.-Tbe UnRed States Attorney General has been instructed by President Thao6ore Roosevelt to direct the Governor of Arizona. Alexander o.

The Governor is to be directed to place the warrants in the hands of United States Marshal for Arizona, for immediate execution The Sisters of Charity of the New York Asylum have applied to the Sis ters of Charity in Fl Paso to receive these children when delivered to them by the Governor of Arizona and tc keep them until such time as the Sis ters of Charity of the New York Asy lum can call for them which will be as soon as possible.

Mrs. Ernest Ford, the custodian, for efficiency Awards will not be made in the horticultural department until after the close of the fair, owing to the daily replenishing.
 Arizona stands high at the present time and will doubtless take the grand prize over all for grape fruit and good awards for oranges and lemons. The local papers have giv- en flattering notices of our citrus displays.
 Both the agricultural and the horti- cultural exhibits have been embei- lished with about 75 large photo graphs showing the country around Phoenix in the highest state of culti- vation, and these excellent pictures speak volumes of the fertility of the soil and the variety of products. Pictures rather than wordy descrip- tions more readily catch the eye and rivet the attention in a fair where everybody is bidding for notice. The exhibits of our home products per haps have appealed to our citizens visiting the fair as familiarly with these things but seldom arouses en- thusiasm, but Arizona has been well advertised by reasons of her exhibits and demonstrated to the world the fertility of her soil and her great mineral and agricultural possibilities

Arizona at the
 Worlds Fair

St. Louis, Mo, Nov 2.-Arizona has certainly done herself proud at the Worlds Fair as evidenced by her commendable exhibits and the recog- milton received from Jury of Awards. While in some instances her displays have not been the largest nor of the most expensive and elaborate in in- siallation, still no other State or Ter Tttory in the Union, unless California, was capable of producing such va ricd exhibit of products demOnstrat- ing the many natural resources of our mineral and agricultural wealth. The Arizona commission has stood well with the chiefs Of the various depart ments, principally for the reason that they followed thetr instructions in the installation of their exhibits and have given them little trouble in register ing kicks"
 In agricultural exhibit Arizona re- ceived a gold medal for alfalfa anG olive oil The oil was subjected to the most severe tests, a Japanese ex pert tester was called to decide on points of strictest merit, and the gold medal was awarded to us. IT this department six silver and twenty four bronze medals were awarded On various mineral exhibits. A gold medal was given Arizona for installa- tion and presentation of her mineral exhibit, the installation being com plete on the day of opening. A gold medal was given on copper displays and six silver prizes taken for asbes- tor, Photographic stone, onyx and other mineral displays.
