London. July 12.-War Secretary Haldane in

tain an expeditionary force Of 10000 men. i'm
mediateIy available for war. with territorial
organization behind 1t capable OF supporting
and expanding the forces serving abroad
Mr.. Haldane's plan contemplates the reduction
Of the forces by seven battaIiOns Of infantry
abroad and three battalions at home. including
two battalions Of Guards. He proposes 70 ar
range for the mobilization OF siXty-three batter
les OF artillery. as a proper complement or the
expedttionary force. out OF e total home escab-
Iishneut Of ninety-nine batteries. leaving thirty
six batteries for training purposes
In the course OF his remarks the War Secre-
was highly unsatisfactory from the point OF
view Of both cost and organization He be-
lieved that economy and efficiency were not
inconsistent with democratic notions, and that

that more use ought to be made OF the militia

thousand men.

David N. Carvalho. the handwriting expert
followed her the stand, and it was shown he
had picked this letter out as a forgery before
Mrs. Hartje discovered it was. So terrific was
the shock OF this evidence that Hartje's counsel
was forced to ask for an adjournment Of court

case is up to the experts.
The letter Mrs. Hartje denied writing. and

Another surprise sprung by Mr.. CarvalhO was
that the only envelope so far placed in evidence
was not written by Mrs Hart5e. but by her
sister, Miss Ida Scott. The writing OF the two
women is remarkably alike. The envelope was
addressed to Tom Nadine. the coachman CO

hibtts placed in evidence by Hartje were writ

forged the Nadine letters. The letter which
torn to pieces, and which Edward Hartje claimed
to have collected from an ashheap, they declared
had been doctored after 10 was pasted together

they showed Judge Frazer the evidence OF this
work having been done with a lead pencil. This
letter is also forgery, they said The police
arrested a man who was trying to sell John

The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1906-04-12

DowIE, the founder of new re-
ligion, and the practical owner of
Zion City, has fallen from grace and
has been deposed by his followers.
Like Samson he fell into the tolls of
a fair Delilah, or rather several of
them, which caused his wife to rebel
against him, and even his "unkissed
SON. took up the fight for his de-
thronement. The accumulation of
great wealth seems to have queered
the old man. 1t is said that he lost
millions specializing on the New
York stock market. Dowie is a man
of wonderful ability. In a way he
is a man of the hour, but his sins
have found him out, and his followers
have renowned him.

Mrs. Wilson, whose husband
suicided in Clifton something more
than year ago, was arrested and
will be tried at Morenci today under
the charge of vagranCy, and other
criminal charges. Mrs. Wilson has
four children, two of whom the
people have long desired to see
placed in the hands of responsible
people, or in a home where they
would receive proper attention.
This has been a somewhat difficult
matter as the mother not only re-
to kill them should an attempt be
made to take them away from her.
1t is also alleged that she threatened
to kill anyone who attempted to have
them taken away from her. 1t is
quite probable that she will be given
a sentence to the county Jail for few
months. In the meantime guardian
when secured the children will be
legally separated from their mis-
guided mother, and they will then be
turned over to an institution which
finds homes for orphans. 1t will
be remembered by readers of the
ERA that soon after the suicide of
her husband the county paid Mrs.
Wilson's fare to her former home in
Texas but it was only a short time
until she was again back in Clifton
and took up her abode on Chase creek,
since which time her life has not
been above reproach. 1t is certainly
to be hoped that the present plan of
the officers to secure legal possession
of the children will be successful,
and that the little ones may secure
homes in families where their lives
will be properly directed. The chill
dren are now in the keeping of Mrs.
Norquay, of Chase creek, who is
caring for them like a mother.

Another suicide took place at SAT-
ford last Saturday when a man
named Lamer became tired of earthly
existence and proceeded to play
quits by firing three shots from a
Colts forty-fve, two taking effect in
the stomach and one in the breast
just above the heart. No cause was
given for the rash act and the only
thing found on him was the address
of his brother, who lives in Ken
lucky. This is about the tenth sui
eide that has taken place in Stafford
during the past few years. Deceased
was we'll liked and respected by those
who knew him.
