THE NEWS OF TUCSON
AND PIMA COUNTY

For the second time the required
number of citizens of Tucson failed to
endorse the proposed city bond is sue
for 5000, 900 to be used in the improve
ment of the city water system, for the
better equipment of our fire depart
ment system, and for other improve
ments. The election was lost by very
small margin, but nine votes more
would have carried the proposed issue,
The vote stood: For bonds, 29l; against
bonds, $50. The saloon men are cred
tied with the defeat of the proposition.
Mayor Manning says another election
will be called.
From the Citizen.
1t has been learned that the gamb-
ling paraphernalia of the Legal Tender
will be shipped to San Francisco. f. c.
Bartlett is now in San Francisco and as
gambling flourishes in the coast me-
tropolis it is supposed the former
gambling king of Arizona will endeavor
to win similar laurels in San Fran
cisco.
1t has been learned that Col. John H.
Martin, formerly of Tucson, and his
wife from whom he was divorced
about year ago, were remarked at
New Orleans last Sunday.
Attorney A. Orfila has brought suit
against the city of Tucson to recover
damages to the amount of 81, 500 which
he alleges was caused by the power
company of that place. The petition
alleges that the jar from the plant
caused the plaster to fall from his
house which stands near by; that it
greatly disturbs the comfort of his
home, and that the smoke from the
six big smokestacks makes it very un-
healty for the family.
From the Tucson Post.
1t is proposed to form some sort of
an association to raise funds for the
preservation of the San Xavier Mission,
one of the nOblest structures erected by
the padres on the American continent
and one of Tucson's chief attractions.
1t is reported that the dome of the
mission is cracked and is in danger of
falling and that it will require quite a
sum to restore it.
Within the next few months the men
in charge of the Carnegie Desert La
boratory will have work on great
desert park well under way. The
grounds surrounding the Laboratory,
comprising $40 acres, will be fenced
and an ornamental entrance will be
constructed and public observatory
will be built on top of the mountain. A
new road having ten per cent grade
will be laid out by Godfrey Sykes, su-
perintendent of buildings and grounds,
and the whole domain will be made into
veritable park. 1t will be open to the
public and will prove great attraction
for tourists. AS there will be no graz
ing on the tract the desert will revert
back to its native state and the grasses
and other plants will grow to maturity.
1t will be the aim of the management
to lay out the park in an artistic man
ner. The new road will pass the labor
atory and wind around to the foot of
the last rise in the mountain.

Of the los counties in Kansas, eighty
five are without a pauper, twenty-five
have no poorhouses and thirty-seven
have not criminal case on the docket.
This is entirely due, say women suffra-
gists, to the fact that in Kansas women
have full municipal suffrage. though
quite likely there are other equally po-
tent influences contributing to this sat
isfactory state of things. There are
others besides the enfranchised ladies'.

DECISION BY SLOAN
JEROME GAMBLING CASE

Justice r. E. Sloan, of Prescott, has
just rendered a decision in a gambling
case that will attract attention all over
the territory. In case before him he
has handed down an opinion that gamb-
ling cannot be prohibited in Arizona by
city councils, but that they can prohibit
gambling houses from operating within
corporate limits.
The decision is in one of the cases
that have developed in Jerome as
result of the efforts that are being
made there to stamp out gambling.
After the city council had prohibited
gambling by ordinance, ]. B. Hoover

THEATRES
The King of Tramps.

A capacity house, in which it was impossible to get anything better than standing room, saw the first perfor- nance in Montgomery last night of "rhe King of Tramps" at tho Bijou Theatre.
 The Bijou Theatre has a fine orches- tra, one that is capable of making mu- sic This large audience head this or ehestra last night and evidenced due appreciation of the strains whenever occasion demanded the orchestra to play piece. The lovers of music among the large audience-and they appeared to far outnumber those who didn't like orchestration-were as eager for selection while the curtain was up as they were between acts. It was just a queer fantasie on the part of these theatre goers to want to hear as many sweet strains as possizle last night. For the music was excellent and they dis played excellent taste in desiring the music.
 The King Of Tramps" is a rousta- bout comedy-drama, containing all of the conceivable characters of the ideal blood and thunder show. Eddie Delaney was cast as the tramp. This play will be repeated at the Bijou Theatre to- night. tomorrow matinee end tomorrow night.

 mart of the county. It was stated that "a new county issue had never had test" The Bessemer people seem to differ with this as on the contrary the matter was tested thoroughly and only missed becoming a fact by a narrow margin. All Bessemer wants is an un- tramnneled city court with full juris- diction, and if this can be secured, that will be satisfactory. The people here do not have any desire to become d mart of Walker County.
