Ii. J. ALLEN DIES.
Suicide of Financial Agent of
 the United Verde.

special dispatches sent out from Jerome last Friday state that the town was terribly shocked upon hearing that H. J. Allen, who for the past thirteen years has had charge of the United Verde Copper company's office in this place, had committed suicide by shooting him. self through the head while at his ranch in the Verde valley.
 Mir. Allen went to his ranch last night in company with Dr. Woods, the company's physician. This morning shortly after 10 o'clock the Chinese cook awoke them, MT. Allen saying that he thought he could sleep while longer, returned to his bed About II o'clock T. E. Campbell, Mir. Aliens son-in-law, in company with MT. Cover, the company's auditor who had arrived the night before, drove up to the ranch and heard the report of a gun in the house. Mir. Campbell rushed into the house and into Mir. Aliens room where he found him on his bed dying from the result of wound in the head, from 8 A. calibre revolver.
 The bullet entered the left side of the head between the eye and the ear, coming out behind the ear on the right side. In his right hand the weapon was still grasped.
 There is no doubt that the deed was done in fit of despondency over the closing of his connection with the United Verde Copper com any. He some weeks ago made a demand for an increase of salary from 5000 to $12,OOO. the demand being accompanied by Mir Aliens resignation to take effect if his re- quest was not acceded to. This raised differences between him and the company with the result that his resignation was accepted.
 His successor, w. l. Clark, in company with Vice President Mac Donald, arrived in Jerome last night. He had undoubtedly brood ed over his troubles until he became insane, as there was no other known reason why he should take his life.
 A head official informed your correspondent that MT. Aliens ac- counts with the company was strict ly straight. He left letters to his daughter and her husband, which are of private nature.
 He also left letter for the con- pany's auditor with whom he was on the most friendly terms with the request written on the envelope that it be not opened until today. The request was granted and when opened today its contents caused the hurried visit of the auditor and MT. Campbell to the ranch. MT. Aliens family relations have always been of the most loving kind and his personal affairs are in the best possible condition. He leaves $43,- GOO life insurance. All mourn his death and sympathize deeply with his wife and family. The funeral will take place on Sunday under charge of the Masons, of which society he was a member.
 MT. Allen was fifty years of age. He was native of Louisiana. He had been connected with the inter- cts of w. A. Clark for many years, and came here from Butte, Mont, in the early nineties.

 We preach at Ash Fork Tuesday evening.
 Every man knows and feels that he fought" to choose to do the right as he sees it.
 Tomorrow evening we will preach on conscience, a moral and spir- itual guide."
 Dr. Stafford, the presiding elder of the Pasadena district, California, died last week of acute tohsilitis.
 Have you looked in the reading roorf yet? There is a goodly feast of reading matter awaiting your perusal.
 Do you, like Paul, "exercise your self to have always a conscience void of offense toward God and to- ward manY'
 Having completed our work in connection with the church i'm provement, we have taken up our pastoral visiting again.
 There will bean Epworth League social at the home of the Misses Beck next Friday evening. Let all the young people turn out.
 Mrs. Oliver leads the League to- morrow. Topic: My place in the war against intemperance." Isa. 24: 9-11; Heb. 2:15; 1 Thess. 5, 6-S.
 The Children's Day collection in our church last year amounted to $91 ,24O, all of which was used to help worthy young folks to higher education.
 Conscience, the highest and purest faculty in man, never said knowingly that lie was true. It never even dreamt or imagined a lie to be true.
 The Ladies' Aid society will hold ''thimble-bee" at the parsonage Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock. A generous invitation is extended to all.
 Shakespeare we'll says: "There is a divinity that shapes our ends" And that ''conscience doth make towards of us all," who refuse to follow the right.
 Already we have gained knowl- edge enough of resolutions broken in 1904 to repeat that "moral reso- lutions formed without the grace of God are not likely to stick"
 Conscience points out the right ness of duty in every life according to the light it has. Even the de- graded sinner, so long as conscience lives, is pointed to a holier and bet ter choice of life.
 Cook says: "Man does infallibly know whether he means right or wrong in deliberate choice" If he knows the right choice and chooses wrong, what kind of man is he? And who is to blame for his wrong choice?
 Many young man who feels himself on the slimy path of sin; could purpose in his heart to be a man in Christ Jesus and soon find clean, solid ground, with a future from which the mortgage of sin had been lifted.

 The first work. therefore. will DC or gsnization by the election of a chairman and a secretary. This will be perfume tory affair, however. as there is no oppo- sition whatever to Hon. B. A. Thompson. the present chairman, and John Abbott, secretary, and as both of these gentle men are willing to serve for another term.
 The most interesting question to bs crease in It's membership. Avondale. beats which at present have but one rep resentattve each in the committee, will ask that the number be doubled and these beats placed on the same plane as other large beats which have two com mitteemen.
 The County Committee Is invested with the power to increase its membership whenever it sees fit.
 There will, however. probably he some opposition to the proposition as the com- mittee as now constituted is considered to be rather an unwieldy body Repre- sentatives of the petitioning beats will make a strong effort, all the same, to convince the committee that the increase will not only accord justice to the people Of the beats. but will be a sound stroke Of party policy.

The in- terview contains some statements which are unobjectionable. some which are too general for definition. some re- lating to subjects which had as well been ignored as advanced, and some which have been anticipated and dis counted.
 '"The importance of any statement of principle policy in the interview rests entirely on whether 1t Is an experi- ment upon attention by Mir Danforth or is in itself c yelled feeler' by the Judge. MT. Danforth being but trans parent screen. We are more concerned with protecting Judge Parker from any statements except those made directly by himself when the time shall come for him to make them. than with any endeavor of any man other than Judge Parker to exploit acquaintanceship or conversation with the Judge in the form of remarks or views for the sat- isfaction of his own sense of his own significance"

Premier Balfour Surveys Toreign Af-
 fairs of England.

London, May 6.-The annual demon- stration of the Primrose League att tracted an enormous gathering at AL bert Hall to-day. being the centenary year of the birth of the late Lord Bea- consfield. Premier Balfour in his ad- dress took a roseate view of Great Britains, foreign relations. He att tached enormous value to the Anglo French agreement. because he believed it was going to prove a permanent ar- rangement. Foreign Secretary Lans- downe and Foreign Minister Delcasse had done work which was not only beneficial to their respective countries but to the whole world.
 MT. Balfour referred to the Near East. the despair of the European statesmen, and pointed out that the government did not play into the hands of revolutionists, who would rather see genuine reform fail than succeed. if it did not cover all their demands"
 The Premier concluded with lectur- ing the opposition on their attitude towards the colonies. especially in re- gard to Chinese labor.

Broueht Back to Birmingham.

Postofhce Inspector H. E. Thiele. re- turned today from Fort Worth, Texas, bringing with him 2. J. Graham, ac- cused of violation of the postal laws in regard to an alleged fraud. Graham was indicted by the last federal grand jury in Birmingham. He was placed in the county jail where he awaits preliminary trial before Commissioner A. c. Birch
 It appears that i've years ago z. J. Graham was manager of the T. B. Scott Lumber Company. of Merrill. Wis. Some time after he came to Sumter. Ala. and took charge of the Sumter Lumber Com pany, in which well known northern lum- Der men are interested. March 20, 1903. he went to Indianapolis, and showed c. Wells of that city contracts with three yellow pine saw mills located at Aledo. Lorraine, and Bloomer, Ala. On the strength of these contracts. Wells, Al H. Brown, another well known Indianapolis lumber man, and Graham formed com- pany for the shipment of lumber north.
 Graham came south and. on the face of several apparently genuine bills of lad ing drew on the company for N.sll in about two weeks time. 1t is alleged. After this. when there was lul In the proceedings Wells went to York. Ala, where Graham's letter had been mailed found that there were no such places as Bloomer and Aledo, Ala, and that there was no saw mill at Lorraine, Ala. Graham in the meanwhile had disappeared.

Remarkable Records Made.

records were made by the Iowas guns in the annual record target practice just completed at Pensacola. The Iowa's 12-inch guns made 42 shots and 34 hits. One 12-inch gun made II shots and II hits. The hits per gun per min ute for the 12-inch guns were 0.75. This equals the record made by the British ship Ocean in 1902, when she broke the worlds record, and in the case of the Iowa the record is all the more creditable because her guns are of an old type. The Iowa's Sinch guns made 1 20 hits per minute, the best gun making eight hits of nine shots.

Republican sub-coamittee.

The subcommittee of the State Repub- lican Committee met here today and heard contests from the several couE- ties in the State wEich have selected two sets of delegates to the State Convention which meets on May 10 in Birmingham. The decision rendered by the sub-com- mittee can be appealed to the State Com mittee and from that body to the State Convention.
 There is a hot fight on in Alabama for the four positions of delegate-at-large t. the National Convention and this is likely to rend the party in twain again. Tho slate of J. o. Thompson's side is said to consist of N. L. Steele. Birmingham; oscar Hundley, Huntsville; Ad Wimbs, cclored, Greensboro, and L. J. Bryan of Montgomery. The W. F. Aldrich side is said to have the following gentlemen on their ticket: T. H. Aldrich of Aldrich, C. Smith. coiored, of Birmingham, w. |. Wellman of Huntsville and J. H. Bing- ham of Birmingham.
 The counties which had contesting dele- gations to the State Convention heard to- day were Montgomery, four delegates; i; Taiiadega, eight delegates; Lee County, four delegates; Chambers, five delegates; Walker County, nine delegates. A num- Der of prominent Republicans from all parts of the State were here today. The convention next week promises to be the largest attended meeting ever held by Republicans in Alabama

 The Brooklyn Eagle, of which St. Clair McKelway is, editor. who declared q Tor Judge Parker as soon as MT. Cleve- land made it plain that under no cir cumstances should he be considered as a candidate for President in comment tng at length this evening on the El- liott Danforth interview, said:
 Judge Parker's acceptability to the Democracy has heen steadily increasing all along, with the apprehension of the Republican party because of that ac- ceptability The wisest factor in the case has been and is the reticence of the Judge concerning political ques- tions with the apparent resolution on his part to let no one speak for him. and himself to speak through no one. That eventually, and that soon. he must speak for himself was and is ap- parent His nomination for the Presi- dency by the Democracy is well nigh certain. What has made 1t certain has been and is, his stauied reserve from public matters, and the belief that he will maintain 1t until his duty to speak for himself. and not by another. will be plain.''
 The Eagle concludes that it prefers to wait until Judge Parker can speak for himself" and adds this: We will not today discuss the Danforth state ment at all. It will have neither rels-
