Edward Rouser, manager Of the
Copper Queen Hotel at Bisbee and
manager Of the Cloudcroft lodge for
the coming summer, with his bride of
but a few days, both perished In the
San Francisco disaster They were on
their honeymoon and were In bed
when the roof Of the Del Monte Ho-
tel caved in and buried them beneath
the debris. A toppling chimney
struck the room in which they were
asleep and 1t is probable that death
was instantaneous.
Edward Rouser was widely known
throughout the Southwest, both
through his acquaintance with the
travelling public and with the citizens
of most southwestern cities.
He was regarded as one Of the eff
cient employees of the Phelps-D Dodge
Company, and great things we're ex-
Ipected from Cloudcroft under his
control.

STATEHOOD BILL.
Again Subjected to DeIays--Bever
idge to Prevent Report II
Possible.

Washington, April 21.-If it is with
in the power of Senator Beverldge,
there will be no final action taken on
the statehood bill In the Senate this
session Of Congress, is the general be-
lief of those posted on conditions as
they now exist. Some of the close
friends of the Senator say that he
has confided that as chairman of the
committee on territories, he has no in.
tention of reporting the statehood bill
favorably before the adjournment of
Congress. Senator BeveMdge has
made repeated efforts to assemble the
committee for final consideration of
the bill but the members have made
various excuses for not attending. The
chairman Of the committee takes this
TO mean that the committee members
are opposed to the action of the House
and that they are willing for final
consideration of the measure to go ov.
er to the next session OF Congress
next winter.

This is a story told by a boy

1t is a funny story in spite Of
itself, but the fun is only one
part of it.
There is an amateur boy de-
tective in it who is a humorous
wonder.
And a girl poet.
The way things work out is
just the way things went when

Except that perhaps we never
