OF interest. Mr.. Miller it was reported
today would go to New Orleans at once
and take charge of the New Orleans
Offices of the firm. but he said he had
not decided definitely. Mr.. Taft said
that the receivers were ignorant as 10
the methods of bookkeeping in the New
Orleans Offices and whether or not the
situation would require another receiv-
er in louisiana.
He said: About all we have done so
far is to settle a hard muddle in regard
TO the insurance on a large amount of
cotton in storehouseS here. On cou
of the transfer of ownership to us, the
insurance on some of the cotton lapssd.
On some of the other cotton the policies
had elapsed without this. it being the
custom to get insurance from time to
time. For about an hour there was a
large amount of cotton without insur-
ance."
Mr.. Taft was asked if the spot
cotton in warehouses amounted to
about thirty thousand bales. That is
very likely the figure" he said, but I
don know to a certainty"
The feeling of the street over the
days happenings was that Sully's
hopes of settling with his creditors and
resuming had practically been destroy
ed and that the possibilities in the
bankruptcy proceedings were such as
to make it probable that sensations
woul develop later.
Section q, of the United States Bank
ruDtcy law states that creditors or
others interested may by order require
any designated person. including the
bankrupt to appear n answer ques-
tons that lead to the determination of
the bankrupts assets. or to possible as
sets not in mis- possession but which
may be recovered by proceedings. 1t
was believed that the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings were brought with the idea Of
recovering something for the creditors
from men who were said to have been
in q pool with Sully.

DIR. ALDERMAN MAY BE MADE
PRESIDENT.
Belief Expressed That He VIII BE
Chosen as Head or the University
: OF Virginia

A gentleman who is in close ouch
with several members OF the board Of
visitors OF the University OF Virginia
predicts that when the board meets on
April 18th at the University IL will Sc
lect as the first president Of the Uni
v~ersity OF Virginia under the law Great
ing that office DR.. Edwin \. Alderman.
now head OF Tulane University. New
Orleans.
Nearly all OF those urged for the
place a year or two Z when the
topic was much discussed. have been
eliminated from consideration by en-
gagements contracted. or by refusal
to be considered applicants. DR.. Al
derman is not known to be an appli-
ant for the place. but is regarded as a
man well fitted for IL in every way,
n in no way more than in possessing
the tact necessary in such a difficult
position. He has a fine record In similar
positions. both in his present loca-
ton at Tulane. which has prospered
greatly under his direction. and prior
TO that time at the University Of North
Carolina.
Few others have been mentioned at
all for the position. but among them are
Professor William Minor Lille. OF the
law department, and Professor James
NJ. Page. Since the last meeting OF the
board there ave been few changes In
the personnel of the board. abou the
only one recalled being the substitution
of Mr.. B. F.. Buchanan for Hon. r.
Tate Irvine.-Times-D Dispatch.

cheapens and diffuses combined effort
 for mutual good, he does his work as
 well as he can simply and bravely.
 One of the prettiest surprises
 ever saw was the presentation of cane to Grand Chaplain ED. Williams. of Nogales. It was worked
 so neatly that the recipient him. I self clipped in. It was the spontaneous expression of a general de- sire to honor the man who has so often honored the order. And Mintz made tn, speech of his life in the presentation,
 because he felt the pride that glowed in the hearts of all present.
 We found much to interest us be-
 tween meetings. There were automobile rides, trips to the old San Xavier mis- sion and to the university and wander ings over town among the old and the new. It's a great place for autos. The equine is at a sorry discount. One gallant inhabitant purchased machine for the especial purpose of showing visiting sister about and on the trial trip the pesky thing gave him a crop per. Jes so, segurra.
 Polar extremes meet where the raging Sandy Cruz flows. Here is at once the most ancient and the most modern. At one end of the valley is the oldest mis- sion of the Franciscan padres sur rounded with the primitive life and scenes of centuries agone, and at the other end are mammoth oil tanks and also steel leviathans harnessed for a trip across the continent. You can cas- fly recall that the transports and the military telegraph line were once the only means of communication with the outside world. But you can't live who'll ly in the past, as the local newspapers are said to do, when you view the Car negie library and the Santa Rita, which is probably the largest, most complete and elaborately finished hostelry in the territory.
 Altogether the town presents a con- geries of high lights and deep shadows. You run into a surprise of some sort around every corner. Since the his toric wedge has been removed there are not quite SO many angles but there are plenty and to spare yet. You can take a sashay through streets as mar row as those of Naples or sport in an auto on the speedway. You can chawk macuche or dulces on Myers street way up in La Sonorita or sip a cocktail at the most sumptuous bar in the territory, the Legal Tender. The markets supply anything from fodder tied in bundles to Redondo carnations. Here's a Papago burden bearer going

And it was no stinted welcome that
 was dealt to us. Some few may cavil
 perhaps, who have been used on former
 ocasions and in other places to be met by brass bands and tsmale vendors.
 But the quiet, respectful greeting We
 received at the hands of the local
 brethren and their friends is more in
 harmony with the spirit of our frater-
 nity, and it's more to the liking of the
 judicious who know full well that un-
 derneath it all is the impulse Of ur-
 Srudging service and willing kindliness.
 The annual survey of the work and progress of the order in Arizona, as set forth by the official reports, Is full of encouragement and promise to the members and to all who hold their work in sympathetic regard During the past year there has been an in- crease of two lodges-at Morenci and Yuma, and nearly two hundred mem bers. There is an accession of influence and efficiency in other ways than mere numerical strength and at no time and in no place has this fact been more ap- parent than at this session of the grand lodge.
 You might search far and long to find a more representative and capable body of men than were gathered at this annual meeting. There were men from every section of the territory and. from every line of activity-men who have shaped events and set the keynote to life in their respective communities There is Ben Robinson of Kirkland Everybody calls him "Uncle Ben"- who has grown gray in the service. but he has the heart of boy withal. Then there's Ebg Williams of Nogales-par- haDs the dean of them all. His silver tongue has ever been at the service of the order. It was his pen that drafted the constitution of the Rebekah branch. They say a mule team has carried him to grand lodge in a distant town more than once, and he hasn't missed @ ses- sion in the last ten years. And there's Robertson of Yuma and O'Connor of both we'll known lawyers, Perry, the leading merchant of King man. the "only original George" Schuerman, for many years chairman of the board of supervisors of Yavapat And merely to mention them, there's Marks of Risbee, Pratt of Globe, Pom eroy of Mesa, Mcdonald of Douglas, Nelson of Tempe and Trott of Phoe- nix. And Butzer of Tempe is not to be forgotten. He belongs to a type that is almost peculiar to OddfellowShip Earnest, loyal and ever kind, with none of the tinsel and calcium that so often

into Zeckendorf's and a few blocks up Congress is a nouveau riche from Sonora or the border, his pockets lineI with gold which he is trying to blow in
 on the hundred and one gambling de- vices. If you hunger you dine in aris- iltocratic plenty at the Santa Rita, or suffer a la MeXicana at a genuine Spanish restaurant. Or perhaps the
 novelty of the thing will attract you to the San Augustine where you can nibble at olives and lobster a la New
 burg in the nave of an old cathedral. There are goo-goo girls-that seems to
 be the prevalent type among the mod
 ern element here-and saints of the
 class to which the late Sister Flu phrasia belonged.
 If you pine for sensation you can rove about Gay alley or get up when the fire bell clamors and watch the Ancient and Honorable Bucket Brigade trail past. But whatsoever you do don't go anywhere without a chaper- one. There's no restriction on your farings but don't forget that in this center of culture and champagne has come about the apotheosis of the duenna. Lf of scientific bent you can visit the Varsity or the Desert Labora- tory. Or perhaps you would be better suited with Carillo's gardens or some of Judge Barnes snake studies. Here are the most soualid dobe tumble downs and the neatest, most harmonious dwell ings that I have seen in the territory. Most of the latter are of the mission type and Phoenix builders have much to learn from Tucson.
 Naturally all these novelties and con- tradictions were rather confusing to some of the brethren who hadn't wan dered far from the slopes of Bill Will liams or the jules of the Colorado.
 His friends assert that Cummins had the scare of his life in the elevator at the Santa Rita. It was new kind of broncho and he says "the beast got be- yond his control and it's hadr to tell what would have happened if it had not stopped just when it did.'
 One of the most enjoyed features of the whole session was the reception and ball given by Naomi lodge in honor of their visiting brothers and sisters. The work of the Rebekah degree as exem- plified by the degree staff of Naomi lodge also merits special mention. I never saw better work and it was an exhibition in which the whole grand lodge took worthy pride.
 The next session of the grand lodge will be convened at Douglas-the new
