ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1.-THE

Several of the witnesses were absent

without ceremony.

ARIZONA TEAMS
 IN NEW LEAGUE
Fl Paso Manager Wants to Form a League with Teams from Arizona and New Mexico-Phoenix, Tucson and Bisbee Mentioned for Places.

Tucson may be represented in pro fessional baseball league this summer, says the Citizen. Already plans are un- der way for the formation of the league, which will have six cities in the cir cult, if the project is successful.
 The teams which are counted upon to make up the league are Fl Paso, Albuquerque. Santa Fe or Las Vegas in the eastern end and Tucson, Bisbee, Cananea, Douglas or Phoenix in the western end. Of these cities, Fl Paso and Albuquerque in the east and Tue son and Bisbee in the west are counted upon as certainties. Las Vegas or Santa Fe, and Phoenix, Cananea or Douglas are regarded as possibilities.
 The promoter of the leage is Frank Leake, a well known baseball and the atricla man, who has his headquarters at present at Fl Paso. Mir. Leake has written to Emanuel Drac hman to find out conditions here.
 Leake has had much experience in promoting leagues, and he can lay the claim to having organized two leagues that are enjoying great prosperity. These leagues are the Pacific Northwest and the Texas leagues.
 In tackling the proposition of an Arizona-New Mexieo-TeXas league, Mir Leake realizes that he is up against some obstacles, which are not, however, insurm0untable. The conditions are such in the southwest that slightly diff ferent tactics must be employed than in other sections of the country.
 Regarding the proposed league this much can be said: Tucson can support professional team. Albuquerque can support professional team. Fl Paso can support 4 professional team. Bsbee can support professional team. It is a question, however, whether the remain ing cities necessary to make a six.elub league can produce enough simoleons at the gate 10 keep a team going.
 And right here it might be stated that owing to the long jumps nothing but six-club league could be expected 10 pay. The proposed league has in its favor the fact that Sunday baseball is allowed in every town on the circuit and sunday baseball is always a paying proposition.

The American Metal Market says:
 Except to report that there have been a few fair-sized lots sold for April and May at 25h to 25k cents for Flee trolytic. there is absolutely nothing new in the copper market. Some are sur- prised that buyers are willing to pay such high price for deliveries so far of as April and May; others in the trade seem equally surprised that buy- CTS were able to find the free available copper even for so far ahead.
 As A rule, however, the large buy- CTS are out of the market and are not inquiring. The producers position re- mains unchanged, sold up to June or later and not making any figures for shipments beyond.
 "The scarcity on spot is as acute as any time, and dealers are getting on the five to ten lots small jobbing trade % cents for Lake, 25ai for Electro lytic and 25k to 25A for Casting.

In New York city the whole sub

While conditions are bad, aw- fully bad, there has been much im- pEovement during the past few yearsa And this result is attained in spite of great obstacles, says a writer in the Craftsman. The great city needs for each days supply one million six hundred thousand quarts of milk. This immense sea of milk comes from over thirty thousand dairies, some of them four hundred miles away. From remote corners of Pennsylvania and from Ohio milk is sent into New York. Much of the milk is from twenty-four to forty-eight hours old on arrival in the city. offering nu- merous inducements for the use of ''preservatives. It is sold from about twelve thousand places, offer ing many inducements for the use of water or baser adulterants, and un- limited facilities for contamination,

THE STORY. OF THE OUTLAW.
Bad Men of the West Classified and Analysed.

Emerson Hough constitutes himself the historian of the outlaw, believing the truth about the bad man. of the west is sufficiently thrilling and mean. ing to present merely truth. There were outlaws of all nationalities, ac- cording to Mir. Hough, but the prize taker among them was the western white bad man, who in land which the law could not protect, like the great region on the frontier, reverted to the ways of Goth and Teuton for bears. There were genuine bad men and imitation bad men, and MT. Hough thus differentiates them: Throughout the west there are two sorts of wolves-the coyote and the gray wolf. Either will kill and both are lovers of blood. One Is yellow at heart and the other is game all the way through. outwardly both are wolves, and in appearance they some times grade toward each other So closely it is hard to determine the species. The gray wolf is warrior and is respected. the coyote Is g sneak and a murderer. and his name is a term of reproach throughout the west"
