Bisbee daily review., 1905-10-18

A movement was put on foot this week among the members of the Bis Dee High School particularly members o1 the Clyn Government Class, to send a monster peuUOn to the Fresident of the ohlted States al the opening ses- sion or congress, praying that the fIesldent use his infiuelce to prevent the passage of the joint statehood bill. best of all, .t is proposed to send the peuIlon In person, and some one of the young ladies in the High School c4ass IS 10 be selected as the bearer.
 inc work or circulating the petition among the other schools of the Terri tory will be directly ln the hands or the BlsOee High Sc- GOl, and th>~bIankS are being prepared now Tor this pur- pose.
 It is the intention to have every pub Ilc school pupil m ATIzona enrolled OF the school chlldrens petition. and they propose to go straight to head quarters with it, and to place thelr oo- lections in the hands of the Chief FIX ecutIve of the Nation.
 The movement inaugurated by the ~AASA ONAOOA pupi4S SuOulu De SlCOur- aged by every business man in the community, and the Review promises the High School pupils that when the time comes for sending their repre- sentative to Washington, this paper will undertake the arrangements for such a journey free of expense to the representative of the Arizona school children.
 It is expected that no less than ten thousand signatures will be secured from the public schools of Territory between now and the first of Decem- Der. These petitions from the sever al counties are to be assembled in Bisbee, bound in book form, and start ed across the United States by person al carrier to be placed in the hands of the President
 Such a protest. from the future men and women of Arizona cannot help but impress the chief executive. The school children's petition will do a world of good. and the High School pu- pills of Bisbee are to be congratulated for taking the initiative in this import l ant matter.

The regular meeting of the Bisbet Chamber of Commerce was held in tht parlOrs of the Copper Queen Hotel las evening. but no business was trans acted, awaiting the report of the com mittee on bylaws and constitution which will be made at the next regu lar meeting to be held on Tuesday ev ening, October 24.
 In the meantime the secretary was instructed to prepare a notice, to be inserted in the newspapers, extending a general invitation to the citizens oi Bisbee. Lowell and vicinity to sign the roll of membership between now and the next regular meeting, at which time the charter list will be closed and the permanent organization effected
 It was the expectation that perma nent officers would be elected last ev ening. but in the absence of a report from the committee on bylaws this action was also deferred until the next meeting.
 J. E. Thompson announced last ev- ening that the membership roll al ready contained seventy-four names and that it was the expectation of the committee on permanent organi- zation and order of business to in crease this number to at least 100 be fore the next regular meeting.
 The intention of the citizens pres ent at last nights meeting was to eT- tend a general invitation to all who feel inclined to assist in public mat ters for the general welfare of the community to become members and to make this known through the columns of the Bisbee Daily Review. Rine- harts pharmacy, Copper Queen Store J. E. Thompson's office, and the Min CTS and Merchants Bank.
 Several matters of importance to the city will be launched just as soon as a permanent organization is effect ed. and the interest continued to be manifested speaks well for the good to be accomplished.
 Several short speeches were made last evening by w. H. Brophy, W. P. McNair, c. E. Philbrook and J. Nj. O'Connel. Judge O'Connei desired particularly that the idea should be given in the proposed published notice that the invitation was general, and that the charter lists would be kept open until the next meeting.

THE SOLDIERS GRAVES.
EmbIems to Mark the Last Resting
 Place Have Arrived.

The emblems to mark the graves of soldiers in the cemetery have ar rived and are ready to be placed in position. Twenty-Five altogether have come. and by notifying the sex ton at the grave yard they can be secured by relatives to signify where the bodies of the dead veterans lie.
 The emblem consists of long iron rod, on top of which is a canteen, with a hole in the stopper in which a small flag can be inserted.
 On one side is inscribed G. A. R., 1S61-1S65. and the other side is left open for the name of the soldier and the number of his regiment.
 They were paid for by the subscrip- ton taken up Decoration Day by the committee. and are appropriate and fitting emblems of the brave men who went through the dreadful years of the rebellion.
 Due credit can be given to Dick Hartman and the other members of the committee for their energetic ef- Forts in carrying out their most worthy project, and it will without doubt be highly appreciated by the relatives and descendants of the heroes who now rest peacefully in their soldier graves.

JOINT STATEHOOD

Gallup, N. NJ, Oct. 17.-According to official announcement a meeting of i the Republicans of Mckinley county is to be held tonight al the I. O. o. F. hall to cleo: a committeeman from this county to the joint statehood league. It is intended to make this meeting q rousing one, and to take action toward giving the congressional party a few pointers when they reach Gallup on their return trip east. Me kinley county IS practically solid for joint statehood, and it is the desire of the people of Gallup to impress this fact forcibly upon Congressman Taw- ney and his friends.
 The Mckinley County Republican, published at Gallup, is one of the best and most wide-awake weeklies of the territory. It has developed into one of the most vigorous and effective champions of joint statehood among the New Mexico press, and is helping the movement along right royalty.
 The fact that Mckinley county, one of the largest and most prosperous counties of the territory. is solid for joint statehood with Arizona is con- vincingly set forth in the following ar ticle from the last issue of the Repub- lfcan:
 Mckinley county is for joint state hood; the county has declared itself for the measure. At the next meet ing of congress the senate of the Unit ed States will surely put the bill through and out of Arizona and New Mexico will come the great State of Arizona, second only in size to Texas

Discovery was made this morning oi l5 razors and three pairs of clippers hidden behind the Brophy barn. The tools were later identified by Barber Wiles as a portion of those stolen from his shop last week. Search was made in hope of finding the money that was stolen. but if it is hidden about the barn it remains to be found The supposition is that the thief hid his booty away at the barn in expectation of returning for it when the noise about the burglary had subsided. The man Carberry who was arrested and charged with the burglary was today released. The evidence against him is almost entirely of circumstantial character. and insufficient upon which to hold him. Carberry protests that he is innocent. Since his discharge from custody he has gone to work here.

Lowell, Oct. 17.
 Justice Hogan is the possessor of an eye that shows evidences of a re- cent severe jolt It is the badge of a iife-saving job the magistrate under took with success a few evenings ago, when he prevented a buggy rolling from the street into the cellar of the new Whaley-Scott building. In the buggy was James Brophy and a com panion. The horses attached to the vehicle had become manageable and broken loose. The buggy rolled back wards when the horses got away, and was at the edge of the deep cellar wall when Mir. Hogan interpreted himself between it's rear wheels and the sheer drop of 20 odd feet. He stopped the vehicle from rolling further. but in doing so was struck by a projecting portion. The bad eye resulted. For a time it was thought the optic had been seriously injured, but this danger is now over.
