TIMBER PRESERVATION.

The Most Perfect Method In Also the
Most Expensive.
Telephone poles nearly always decay
at or just below the ground line. The
upper portion of the pole, permanently
in the air, rapidly drying after rain, is
practically always dry and is rarely
found decayed. The butt Of the pole.
deeply buried in the ground, is in q
permanently damp condition, but Oxy-
gen being excluded it is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
soil retains the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where it Is ex-
posed to the air and to the heat Of the
sun, which is just what its little vegc
table enemies like, but If the albumen
in the wood can be rendered unfit for
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserva-
ton amounts, then, to poisoning the
food supply Of the destructive agencies.
Preservation of timber is attempted
in three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial by outward me
chanical means, such as charming In fire
or the applications Of antiseptics on the
surface of the stick, and by imprcg
mating the wood with antiseptics. CT
these the last is by far the most i'm
portant The most perfect method
which is also the most expensive-is
the injection of dead oil Of coal tar in
to the whole fiber of the pole.-Hart-
ford Times.

According to Pliny, Rome fourished
for 600 years without q doctor. 1t is
maintained by some, however, that
when making this statement Pliny was
not aware that certain Greek physi,
clans resided in Rome at least during
q part of the period named. But there
Is certainly no question that in the
early days of its history physicians
were very scarce in Rome and doubt
less because there was little occasion
for their services. With the advance
Of civilization maladies have multi
piled, and with the increase Of disease
there has been proportionate increase
Of physicians.

 Mir. Hoover also said that the judge had decided that the council had no right to enforce any such law, and that there was now no Ordinance No. 35 in force in Jerome, and that so far as gambling was concerned it stood just the same as before the council started in to prohibit 1t When asked if he was going to open games in the Fashion when he returned home. he replied that the games would all be open again on Saturday night at 6 o'clock.
 City Attorney Globes telephoned the News the only victory won by the de- fense in the gambling case was the release of MT. Hoover: that the judge had decided that the council had no right to suppress gambling houses. That is to say. that the legislature had legislated to allow gambling, thus giy- ing every citizen the right to gamble, but that this did not give any man the right to open a house for public gambling; that, while the council could not pass an ordinance directly suppressing gambling it could pass laws that would so harass 1t as to drive it out of existence For in stance, that it could be prohibited within a certain distance of public buildings, such as churches, schools, etc: that it could be prohibited under the same roof where liquor was sold, or licensed so high as to make it un- profitbIe. and in many other ways sub ject it to such restrictions as to make it so unprofitable to the people in the business as to make it prohibitable. He said the defense had gotten a half loaf, and very small half at that; that so far as his side was concerned they had just gotten on the ground and now they knew where they stood. He then asked if they had opened gambling in Jerome again, and when informed that they had not, he said they had better not.

GAMBLING LAW IS
 TESTED
Faulty Ordinance is Knocked Out in Jerome by Sa=
 loon Men

The arrest of J. B. Hoover. of the
 firm of Hoover & Cordiner, proprie- tors of the Fashion saloon, in this city on Tuesday afternoon last, brought the fight against gambling in Jerome again into prominence, says the Je- rome News MT. Hoover, during the day, applied to Deputy Sheriff owen for county gambling license, which he at once granted. Later Mir. Hoov- CT applied to City Marshal Hawkins for a city gambling license, which the marshal as promptly refused. Hoover then informed that officer that he was going to open a gambling game in his house. and MT. Hawkins informed him that if he did so he would have to arrest him. At few minutes after 3 o'clock a crap game was opened in the Fashion. and in a very few minutes afterward the mar shal entered and arrested MT. Hoover, who was dealing, but not soon enough after the game had opened to prevent a Mexican getting to Hoover's bank roll for little matter of s30. The of IlCtE CotlSEdleN IIlt Ddtlh ron UT sfOUs some checks and the crap table. The crap table he left in the house until he could get place to store it, but the chips and the money he took away with him. Judge St James let the prisoner go on his recogni- zance. Hoover at once communicat- ed the story of his arrest to his at torney, the Hon. Reese NJ. Ling, of Prescott, who at once went before Judge Sloan and had him released on g habeas corpus. This fact was com municated to City Attorney Globes and also to the defendant, both of whom were informed that the case had been set by the judge for 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Later, by request of the city attorney, Judge Sloan put the case over unity 10
 o'clock Friday morning. when. after hearing the case, the judge decided that there was no power vested fin the town council of Jerome to sup press gambling in the town of Jerome.
 The News received telephone mes sages from both City Attorney Globes and J. B. Hoover last night from Prescott, giving their views of the de- cision. Mir. Hoover said that he had been tried under the first section of Ordinance 35, which reads as follows: Section l. That every person who. in the town of yerome. Ariz.. deals, plays or carries on. opens or causes to be opened, or who conducts. either as owner or employe, whether for hire or not, any game of faro. monte. rou- fette, lansquenet, rouge ct noir. ron do. or any banking game played with cards, dice or any other device. fol money. checks. credit, or any other representative of value, is guilty of s misdemeanor and Is punishable by (

COMPULSORY LAW DEFICIENT
Trustees Learn that they Cannot Compel Children
 to go to School

Phoenix, Feb. 1i.-Weakness in the law which provides for the compul- sory education of children in Arizona, will prevent the Phoenix board of school trustees from going further with its campaign to compel the par ents of children to send them to school
 After Justice Burnett had prepared four warrants yesterday afternoon against the parents of children who are being kept out of school for no good reason, he discovered that pros ecution at this time was impossible.
 While the law reads that children between the ages of s and Ii years must attend schooOi for at least twelve weeks, six of which must be consecutive it is not stated what time of the year the child must be in at- tendance.
 Any parent who might now be ar rested for failure to comply with the law, would have an excellent defense by claiming that, though he had not sent his child to school, it was his in- tentiOn to send him or her during the last twelve school weeks of the year.
 Justice Burnett called Assistant Dis trict Attorney Bullard into conference and explained to him what he had discovered. Assisntant Bullard fully concurred giving an opinion that fully sustained Justice Burnett.
 Such weakness in the law as tnls, practically nullifies any attempts thal may be made by the school trustees to enforce it. The six weeks of the school year are not profitable ones in tEe education of the children.
 AS a result of the uselessness or the law, Justice Burnett has destroyed the warrants, and no attempt at prUsecu- ion will be made.
 T believe" said he this afternoon,
 that an entirely new law should be passed by the next legislature. It
 hOuld be so framed as to compel children to attend for the entire school term, without some of the reas- sons, provided in the statutes, can be given for keeping them out. It is a matter that should be called to the attention of the next legislature"

ROBBER rs A STRONG MAN
Strips House of Plumbing and Carries
Off Four Hundred Pounds
of Loot
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
DENVER, May 7.-Emulating the
burglar who carried away a red-hot
stove, negro thief, who apparently
is a giant, performed a feat recently
which, though criminal, ought to en-
title him to immunity from arrest and
earn for him a place as strong man"
among the freaks of sideshow. 1t
was by no means an ordinary under
taking to enter a house and divest 1t
Of all lead pipe, steam and water fix
lures. This combination of plumbing
apparatus weighed nearly 400 pounds,
and after gathering it UP he carried
it out of the house before the eyes of
several passersby
The house which was entered is at
440 South Broadway. 1t was built re-
Gently and the plumbers had just COM
pleted their work and prepared it for
occupancy. On the morning of the day
of the theft, the owner escorted a
prospective tenant over the premises
and at noon everything apparently
was in good condition. About 2:30
o'clock a negro was seen to enter the
rear door and to youth in the neigh
borhood he said he had come to help
move. He kept his word, moving away
everything of value that could be torn
loose by his gigantic strength. The
burglary was accomplished in less than
an hour, for according to the youth
the negro made but one trip to the
house and carried all of the plunder,
Weighing approximately 400 pounds,
when he took his departure.
The loot consisted of several lengths
of lead pipe, which he had strapped
across his back, three stationary wash
bowls and two gunnysacks of smaller
fixtures, one of which he carried on
his head after the fashion of a south
ern negress transporting a basket of
washing. The negro is described as
6 feet inches tall, of muscular build
and weighing about 300 pounds. A re-
port of the burglary was made at
police Headquarters.

SAN PEDRO, May 7.-Captains of
deep sea vessels which have been far
out at sea as we'll as those who ira
verse the Santa Barbara channel which
begins here and extends northwesterly
for some eighty miles, report that for
several days the water has been dis
colored They were unable to under
stand 1t at first but 1t is now attributed
to the recent temblors along the coast
which were perhaps much worse out at
sea. Capt Urry of the steamer San
JUAN sailing from Ancon, Mexico
states that the discolorations continue
all the way from Mexico to Monterey
The phenomena is a remarkable one.
An incipient war has broken out be-
tween some of the squatters at East
San Pedro in the past few days. John
Wray, who holds down several rods of
the made land over there, has had
considerable trouble with a man named
Olson, the latter, according to charges
filed, tearing down Wray's fences

long as he could but at last went to
Long Beach and had the offender ar
rested.
Captain j. H. Merry of Santa Bar
bara brought the launch Vishnu down

one of the peculiar characters of this
coast. A graduate Of Yale college, a
prominent officer Of the civil war and
a member of the bar Of many different
state supreme courts, and a writer of
note whose works are eagerly sought
by many first class publications, he
has forsaken all to follow the sea for
a livelihood and make 1t by running
a neat little launch between Santa
Barbara and the islands. Occasionally
when business Is slack he pens an arti-
Gle for some publication, receiving
therefor good sized check, and then
goes back to the sea. He is full of in
teresting stories of adventure on the
waters and has had many experiences
catching seals at Santa Cruz island for
the trade.

Mayor Jacob Whine Clute has taken

the school children the heavenly gift
of song and have pleuro-pneumonia

clan found making mercenary dscord
without license. And in order to get
license the musicians 90 have to go
