AFTERNOON CONCERT
 BY PIONEER BAND
The Pioneere Band Is Improving With New Director and New Members.

The Pioneer band yesterday after noon gave the first afternoon concert of the winter season at the city hall plaza and showed remarkable improve ment since the return of several of the old members and Director Hobbs, who is bringing the organization to a measure of proficiency upon which it is to be congratulated. The band has braved the troubles of the summer when the depleted ranks were scarcely able to muster enough to make a noise. but from this date on the band will continue to advance and the Sunday afternoon concerts will be one of the pleasant and entertaining features of the winter.
 Because of the warmth of the after noon and the fact that it was not as well known that the band would play in the afternoon instead of in the even iIg, the crowd was less than usual and far less than the meritorious program deserved. The reed section carried its part well and the trombones came prominently forward in a number of selections. The harmony was we'll sus- tained even down to the big bass drum. With the cooler weather much improvement will be noted as the boys will be getting a good Hip" that is nec- essary to bring forth the full rounded tones from the wind instruments. Of course the drum section can be counted on regardless. The band is now strengthened by several good cornetists of ability and experience.
 The instrumentation is as follows: J. H. Hobbs, director; comets, c. Men ard, A. Thalheimer; clarinets, J. R. Porter, w. E. Thompson. D. Benenato. Frank White, E. H. Jones. O. Thal- heimer ;altos, c. Lanbertz, Bert Coyle.

MASS MEETING TODAY
 Al BOARD OF TRADE
A Special Invitation Is Given to the Whole Town and Every Citizen Is Urged to Accept It.

This is the day and 3 p. m. is the hour set for the mass meeting at the board of trade room and 1t is confi- dently expected a big crowd of citi- zens will be present. It is to be not but of all citizens who are interested in an advertising campaign for the attraction of settlers to this valley, and particularly farmers who have a few dollars, enough to buy themselves homes and enter upon the tilling of the soil under circumstances more fav- orable than can be found anywhere else. With the broad platform 1t would appear that almost everybody is eligible to participate in the meeting.
 The subject of advertising the valley has but one side to it. IL is true that there is a little difference of opinion as to when to advertise. but there are very few who think there is more than one side to even that proposition. AL most everybody says advertise of course and advertise now and keep on advertising just as long as possible. No country has more to offer than this valley. If the people of the val ley really want to give people in other parts an opportunity to do something nice for themselves, now is the time to begin talking about it and give them an opportunity to come while land values are yet within the reach of the financially modest farmer. Incident ally the arrival of a large number of this class of people will be a good thing to many who have already in vested heavily. who are entitled to some little advance on their invest ments, and who can make good profits and at the same time sell cheap enough to give the new conner a bargain he could not get elsewhere. It is the spirit of cooperation that has brought about the good things of today and it issde- sirable to extend the benefits of that cooperation to others who are worthy to enjoy them.
 The purpose is in no sense a phil anthropic one. What the valley wants to do is to help itself and if it can help others at the same time the in centive is still greater. It is one time when both parties can make a profit on a transaction. The few who con- tend that 1t is too soon to advertise should bear in mind that it is not flash in the pan advertising that pays but steady and persistent work wheth- CT the magnitude be large or small and the larger the plan of action, if per sistently followed, the greater the re- suits proportionate with the invest ment.
 Another point is that advertising of this sort cannot bring momentous re suits at once. It takes time to reach the people and after their interest has been aroused they are not going to hurry off to Phoenix. Arizona by the next train. They will first look into the situation carefully if they are sen-

THE PASSING OF AN
 ARIZONA PIONEER
Dennis May, Once Part Owner of the Congress Mine, Dies at the Sisters Hospital.

Dennis May of Congress one of the best known old timers in the territory, who once owned an interest in the Congress mine. died yesterday morning at the Sisters hospital of pneumonia. The remains were taken in charge by Mohn & Driscoll, waiting word from his relatives, who are said to be a brother and sister in Buffalo, New York
 Several old timers yesterday said they knew Dennis May well. and most of them agreed that he came to the territory as early as 1866, forty one years ago. At that time Phoenix had not been born. and the Apache Indians were thick and rowing all over the country. May began in a short titme to prospect over the territory and was, perhaps. as we'll posted as any man on the different districts. and it is said by his associates that he hardly ever recommended a property but that it turned out all right. He was interested at different times in number of min ing properties and sold one mine on the Colorado to eastern parties. How ever, his biggest transaction was in the sale of the Congress mine May own ing a share in the property and receiv7 ing, according to some stories, some- thing like S3O.0O0 for his share.
 After the sale he went east and bought a home near Buffalo for his parents, several thousand dollars for it. and he also purchased two farms of 135 and 160 acres near the same city. Arizona had exercised her ire sistible charm over him by this time. however. and he did nQt long remain in the east. but came back to the ter ritory He took part of the money and began prospecting and developing oth- CT claims. He was also interested later in the Alaska mine near the Con- gress In a few days he was to have received s55OO as a further payment on the property. An informant yester- day stated that on the first of the month he received $S000 for the sale of a mine, so that he was possessed of considerable of the worlds goods. His business has been lately looked after by A. Iben d>the Star lodging house. The farms M the east are left by will to his brother and sister. his parents having died some years ago.
 J. B. Milsap of Congress yesterday stated that he had known May for over thirty years. MT. Milsap came here in 1879, and May was here before him. They bunked and worked together for many years, followed mining and pros pecting. He says that May was not the first one to locate the Congress mine, btu that he relocated it after it had been abandoned by the first prospec- tor, did the first real development work on it and hauled ore 60 miles, there being at the time no railroad in that section. He began to work the mine in 1883, and sold it in 1887.
 May was one of the hardy pioneers of the early days. rough in exterior and hardened by the life in the open and a life of few comforts. but was big hearted. it is said by his friends, and liberal to fault. In his first days of affiuence he spent freely and enjoyed life as it was then enjoyed. Until the

last he continued a follower of the gold lure and always contended that Ari- zona was the only place in the world to live. To his associates. however. he always remarked that while he liked to live here, he did not want to be buried here. He remarked often that he did not want his bones to rest where they would be jared by blast and shattered stone. The thing which he loved in life he wished to be far thest removtd from in death, so he asked that he be sent back to Buffalo

where his parents are buried. This is indicative of his nature and shows that the old home ties were never en- tirely severed by years of hard toil
 MT. Milsap says that Dennis May was one of those few men whose word was as good as his bond. When it was related that Dennis May said so. that settled it. The disposition of his re mains will be settled in a few days. and thus will end the book of a life whose chapters are identified with Ari- zona and her earliest history.

An Army Officers Report Declares Sending Battleships to Pacific

Was Sent to Manchuria to Watch Russo-Japanese War, Is Pessimis- tic Regarding Ability of Army and Navy to Protect America.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The most extraordinary government document, which. by it's prodigal criticism, prom ises to raise a storm about the ears of it's author, Capt. William V. Judson of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, has just made it's ap- pearance. Capt. Judson, in an official report, gives ground for complaint, not only on the part of naval officers, members of the diplomatic corps and brother officers in the army, but has something to say about the foolish mess of sending American warships to the far Pacific, which is out of harmony with the announced inten- tions of the president in this regard"
 Capt Judson Is one of the officers sent to China to report on the opera tions of the Russian and Japanese armies. The scenes of carnage which he witnessed appear to have had most demoralizing and depressing in fluence upon him. He returned to the United States fuil of dark forebodings for his country, and extremely pes simistic concerning the ability of the army and navy to prevent America from falling prey to conspiring foes.
 In his report he disparages the utili- ty of the United States Navy, hints mysteriously at coming wars, which will involve this nation, and tells about the weakness growing out of the Philippines, the Panama canal and the Monroe doctrine.
 It is apparent that Capt Judson be- lieves that Germany and Japan have designs upon the United States He has chapter on this topic, and al though he does not mention either na- tion by name, he indicates them both beyond reasonable doubt.

ENGLISH MEAT SUPPLY.
Strong Criticism of Present System by an Eminent Physician of
 London.

London, Sept 19.-Sir James Crich- ton-Browne in delivering the presi- dential address at the annual meet ing of the sanitary inspectors associa- ton at Llanduno, referred to the Eng fish meat supply and urged the aboli- ton of private slaughter houses and the providing of abbatoirs and a cen tral office for mea. inspection. Then people no longer would find prize Christmas fat beef absolutely filled with generalized tuberculosis" He added: "If Chicago has it's jungle, London has it's dismal swamp"
 In another part of the address the eminent physician denounced what he described as the prevalent craze for getting thin. On all hands, he said, the cry is that we eat too much. So fierce in some quarters is the pro paganda of dietetic ascetism that in dread of being suspected of gluttony people only indulge their healthy ap- petite in secret. This craze, Sir James declared. was producing debility which sufferers therefrom were seek ing to combat by indulgence in alcohol and narcotics.
