MutuaI's Trustees are Called on
to Resign.
by BRITISH P0LlGYh0LDERs
Peabody Of Mutual Says British Policy
Holders Have Only TO Name Those
Whom They Desire to
Resign.
NEW YORK. April lS.--The Tribune

NEW YORK. April l3.--rhe Tribune
today says:
president Peabody of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company said yesterday
that ii the British policy holders would
say which trustees they wanted to re.
! sign those, trustees would resign OF
, explain why they would not do 80, The
statement was made in discussion
with reporters OF cable me,sagt from
London say that the British policy hol
ders wanted the retirement of trustees
who had been closely associated with
President AIcCurdy. President Peabody
smiled when he was told that the
despatch from London stated that the
policy houders there were dissatisfied
with the reply of Joseph Choate to
their requests which were before the
trustees OF the Mutual Life by \, d,
Gmlliard.
Forty eight lburs ago" he said.
'I saw a cable message from London
in which the British policy holders said
they would be guidal only by Mr.
Choate. Now that Mr.. Choate has done
something for them, seemingly. they
are not satisfied with what he has done
and want something else, The retire
ment of McCurdy trustees would mean
that all the present Board except my
self would resign The British policy
holders have not intimated to Us that
wanted retirement OF any particular
trustee but if the McCurdy trustees
were TO retire today. they would re-
quest something else tomorrow.
q want to say however, that ii the
British policy holders will write over
and say what trstuces should resign,
the trustees will resign or explain why
they should not"
In order to make clear just what
demands or requests had been made to
the trustees of the Mutual Life through
Mr.. Julliard who has just returned
from England Mr.. Peabody said;
"First they asked us to permit an
English actuary to verify the computa.
ton of the reserve liabilities which al
ready had been made by the insurance
department Of the state OF New York
that We cheeriully as,ented.
"Second. they asked that we elect one
or more English trustees. This ! pre-.
sumo the company will DO very cheer
fully, and we will be glad to have names
suggested by the English policyholders.
"Third. we have been asked to turn
over the English business Of the com
pany to a new company to be formed
in London, and to pay over at the same
time the total reserves held against
the English policies. This we see no
legal or lawful way of doing at present.
For that and for other reasons we have
not considered it practicable. The legal
questions involved are being examined
now by Mr.. Choate."

reads as follows:

to the trust and after he parted from

ran foul of PatrOlmen Burke and Price

hours after landing at the depot. Miss

COL. WILSON'S FAITH
 IS IN THE SENATE
That Body is Not Subject to the Dom l. nation of a OiotatoriaI
 Ex .cutive

Colonel J. F. Wilson, Arizona's dele gate to congress during the last session, was this afternoon shown the dispatch from Washington telling of the passage of the jointure bill in the house. Asked by a representative of the Phoenix Enterprise for an expression of opinion on the outlook for Arizona, Col. Wilson made the following statement:
 "The passage of the joint bill by the house is not, to me, unexpected. l have seen the pledges of recalcitrant members of the majority broken, and seen them fall down under the party lash too often to look for different results now. Indeed, it was more of a surprise to see so many stand up under the circumstances.
 "The hope now is, as has all the time been my hope, in the senate. In that body the war against the destruc- ton of civil rights of American com munities will be waged. There, gag rule and the suppression of free discus so,. are unknown. That body is not subject to the domination of the inter fering tyranny of the executive, as w. nave seen it exercised already.
 "The executive is as much depend ent on the senate in most cases, as is the senate on the executive. Hence it IS clearly independent, and hence We may expect protection at its hands. In that body we have a shade the best of it.
 "We relied upon that great, inde- pendent body last winter and it failed us not We may do it again. It may be that the senate will be contented by amending the bill so as to refer the matter back to the territories to be voted on separately.
 ''If otherwise, by the adoption of the Foraker amendment. In my opinion, that is as much as that body will ever yield. If that should be the final result, we should be content with it, for that would certainly dispose of Oklahoma, which the enemy is using now to drag us into jointure, and our own fate would be left in our own hands. It would then be our own fault if the jointure should follow. It would be purely American and, at that, we could not grumble." !"

SUPT. w. R. MARTIN
 FL PAS0 STATION
Beseged By 0ffice Seekers Has Not Yet Announced Any
 Appointments

w. R. Martin, who resigned as sup erintendent of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad to accept the position as superintendent of the union station at Fl Paso, has entered upon the duties of his new office.
 The Fl Paso Herald of last Friday says:
 "W. R. Martin, superintendent of the new union station, arrived last night from Globe and is today the re- cipient of much attention from pros pective office holders in the new sta tion.
 Because of the rather distant date of opening the new depot, Mi. Martin has not yet announced any of his ap- continents. He says it will probably be two weeks before any appointments are announced.
 "Mr. Martin indicated that he had 8 fairly clear idea of who the appointees would be, but that some minor changes would be necessary and for that reason

CANNOT GET ALONG
 WITHOUT COPPER
It's Uses Rapidly Multiplying Increasing Demand in Electrical Coi-
 struction

Despite the steady increase in pro duction of copper, there is today a scarcity of the metal and the high price is the outgrowth of the needs of the country. Now, however, a wonderful gain in consumption is plainly evident, great home demand appearing and with signs of long continuance. At the same time the foreign buyers are ask ing for increased quantities.
 A few days ago the editor of Iron Ore conversing with a representative of well known firm, makers of many lines for railway ..and mining use, was told that ten years ago the company's copper using department was its least important of many branches, whereas now it is superior to all oth ITS, and all have grown strongly. The firm now has five thousand girls winding copper on spools, and fivesthousand men hand ling copper in heavier forms. It is surprising. to learn the great number of artisans employed in the electric branches and working on copper
 Electric railways are. increasing in number as well as individual mileage. Easily equipped, they are extending to many places where the steam roads do not care to go. And many of the great steam roads are putting in electrical equipments. Great speed with low cost of operation is being achieved, ana rapidly electricity is gaining favor ana the secrets of the invisible fluid are being brought out.
 Aluminium, while used to some degree for certain purposes, cannot take the place of copper, nor can it ever usurp the place of the red metal in electrical spheres. It is light, but lacks the ten sile strength and conductiyity dema nd ed. The manufacturer has given it many long trials, but safety alone de- mands much more than aluminium can give, and safety is a factor that must always he reckoned with. Besides, the supply of aluminium is limited. The expansion of the use to which copper is being put, like steel, is one that is causing astonishment in all industrial circles, it far exceeding the expects- tions of even those who had predicted great gain.

FRUIT GROWING
Investigation on Adoption of Different
 Varieties to Arizona Climates

For three or four year the United States department of agriculture at Washington has been making inyesti- gation of the adoption of diferen var ieties of deciduous fruits to different climates throughout the United Sta,es, but Arizona has never been included in these investigations. Arizona is, how ever, ot sufficient importance as fruit growing region to be included, and cer- tainly our climatic conditions are pecul- jar enough to deserve individual study. Hence the territorial experiment sta tion has made arrangements to have these investigations undertaken here.
 In order to properly cover the ter ritory there should be several observ- CTS in each fruit growing district. Printed blanks are supplied from Wash ington on which are entered in tabular form as follows: Variety, age of tree, date of first bloom, date of full bloom, date leaf buds begin to open, date terminal buds form, date of picking, size of crop, date fit for use, how long variety keeps.
 Any fruit grower who would take in- terest in making observations of this kind is invited to correspond with V. A. Clark, horticulturist of the Experiment Station Farm at Phoenix. Arizona can make showing of her fruit growing possibilities that she can well be proud of and for her own good she ought to do it.

WM. MILLS WILLIAMS
 MINING IN FINAL

William Mill Williams, of Globe, who is operating the old Gray mine situated on the summit between here and Kel- win, was in Florence Thursday. says the Blade. He Is now working a force of l2 miner and is uncoyering bodies of good ore which run nigh in copper, gold and silver: but he is working under difficulties on account of a strong inflow of water which he Is not prepared to handle readily at present, In the main shaft, at depth of ll0 feet, the inflow is about l,l00 gallons in l2 hours and this is more than he can handle sue cessfully with bucket and windlass. He started several other shafts but struck water in each of them at depth of 50 feet. All the openings look well and there is now about 5000 worth of shipping ore on the several dumps.
 Mir. Williams and his partner are now considering the advisability of installing hoisting machinery and pumps, with view to exploiting the property below water level. Being a practical and experienced miner, Mir
 Williams recognizes the importance of obtaining depth on veins in Arizona. He has investigated the surface cond- tions to a sufficient extent to satisfy himself that he has property capable of large and profitable production, and proposes to demonstrate that fact by ! the right kind of development work.
