MAN THINKS HEARS
WIFE'S VOICE IN THE PARK
Fred Rotchford Follows Imaginary
Sounds in Spencer Square Last
EVening-Back to Watertown.

Fred ROtchford, an escaped patient
from the Waterfowl asylum, thought
he heard the voice of his wife in Spen-
Ger square last evening.
He followed the imaginary sound,
stopping persons whom he met dur
ing his wandering around the walks
and inquiring of them if they could
not distinguish the voice of a woman
above the noise caused by the passing
cars and vehicles.
But there was no one who heard
the voice but ROtchfOrd. Persons who
had been approached by the man could
see readily that he was affected men
tally, and the police station was mott
fed.
ROtchford gave fictitious name. and
when finally cOrncred, maintained that
he was parolcd from WatertOwn. This
morning an attendant called for him
and took him back TO the hospital.

Home Association Raped.
Paul Henneberg denounced the Rock
Island Industrial Home Association for
allowing unfair firms to be represented
in the Labor day parade. He charged
that different lines of unfair goods
were in evidence. A motion was
adopted that Secretary Darby draw up
letter of censure, condemning the
Rock Island Industrial Home associa-
ton. One of the delegates stated that
he did not understand that the Home
association had the power of control
over the entire program for Labor day
celebrations. Others were of similar
belief and wanted the power of every
thing but the arrangements for pic
mics and other amusements to be cen
tered in the congress. No action was
taken.
Lady Delegates Grievance.
\ lady representative of the Tri-
City Regalia Workers union charged
that the bakers in the parade on Labor
day carried banners procured from or
through firm she claimed that was
at outs with uniOnism. She said that
the banners had the union label on
them, however. 1t was suggested ii
was probable that the firm had or
dered the banners from some union
shop. If this had been done no action
could be taken against the firm. The
bakers were censuTed for their action
and committee appointed to investi.
gate the whole question and report.

DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Dem ocratic Central Committee Of Cochise county will assemble in the parlors of the Copper Queen Hotel. h ae cordance with the usual precedent n this county the call was made for the purpose of selecting delegates 70 the territorial convention at Tucson. Tn all probability the majority of the committee will favor a county con venton for this purpose, and the same will be called on or about May 14. z There is no apparent reason why the meeting today should not be har monious in every particular. The committeeman have decided to pass the question of delegates to the Tue son convention to county convention
 called for that purpose, and this ac tion on their part should meet with ] the general approval of all 'Democrati who believe in majority rule.
 The Democrats have no differences to settle in Cochise county. The re cent election in Bisbee showed tha
 the party has lost none of its old tim: strength, and if the committee cal
 avoid it, there will be nothing inject
 ed into the politics of this county, a this time, that can cause disruption.
