 The visit of the Greene-Ryan-Cole party to the district closed during the week, MT. Ryan departing last Sun day, Mir. Cole and his immediate asso- ciates on Monday and Mir. Greene and his immediate party on Thursday night. MT. Cole and party remained in Bisbee until "Wednesday, when de- Darture was taken to visit properties in New Mexico Enroute east from there they will probably travel with MT. Greene to Duluth for the purpose of holding a directors meeting, after which Mir. Greene will go on to New 1 York
 As announced last week, the visit Eere was entirely one of inspection ano investigation. This work was very thorough and extended to all de psrtments. All of the work is not yet lcomp'efed, attorneys and experts re. maining to conclude details. As to determinations reached, no formal texpressicn has been made that may be accepted as the COT clusion of the wis | i.Crs as body. MT. Cole and others | of the number, bc"ever, did give ex- pression, both here and at Bisbee, to
 statements that additions would at once be planned for the smelter and concentrator in order that the out put of copper might be increased as soon as possible. The inference was that these additions would not con fiict with the previously considered plans for great new smelter to be erected either in the vicinity of the depot or in the San Pedro valley, from three to eight miles out of the city. Enthusiastic expressions were made by every member of the visiting par ty regarding the enormous ore re- sources Greene properties were found to have, while Cananea Central was declared to have greater showing of ore for amount of development done than any other copper property in the country
 General Superintendent Ricketts formally took over his work with the Greene Cananea this week No changes have been made in the off ciai forces of the companies and none of importance are loowed for. In this regard MT. Cole expressed him self, as did others with him, as highly pleased with the efficiency found in the heads of departments. In the mines, concentrator and smelter, work Is going ahead as usual, crowd ing along in the same vigorous man ner that prevailed previous to the merger. Smoothness attended, by

 Mr. Heney is one of the attorneys in the big Zeckendorf-Steinfeld suit. With Mir. Ives he is the legal counsel for Mir. Steinfeld. This suit has been carried to the Supreme court of the territory and was there won by MT Steinfeld. A new technicality has arisen and the case will likely be again taken up before the Supreme Court.
 On his visit to Phoenix. Mir. Heney will likely kill two birds with one stone There he will visit without doubt Su- pervisor W. ". Sanderson, of San Francisco who was compelled to come to this country owing to the fact that he is afflicted with tuberculosis. Mir. Sanderson 1t has been given out is willing to reveal some of the nefariouF doings of the Schmitz-Ruef gang which has controlled San Francisco for sey' eral years and, according to evidence being brought out in the investigation, has plundered and pillaged at will.

PRES. WOULD HAVE
 SALARIES LIMITED This Matter Is to Come Before Congress For Action In a
 Few Weeks.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.-
 The purported letter from the pres ident in respect to the proposed limit ing of salaries of life insurance of ficials constitutes such a very remark able thing for a president of the Unit ed States to do," said John Sharp Williams, democratic house leader, today, that l think there must be some mistake about it."
 That no mistake has been made and that an issue based on the presidents s letter is to be raised in congress was established today. It was admitted at the white house that the letter had been sent to Thomas F. Drake, super. intendent of insurance for the Dis trict of Columbia, and that MT. Drake had transmitted it to state insurance commissioners with the consent of the president.
 Did Paul Morton, former secretary of the navy and now president of the Equitable Assurance society at sal. ary publicly understood to be S80,000 year, influence the president to take the radical step of trying to prevent state insurance officials from urging the respective legislatures to enact laws placing a limit of s50,000 on such salaries? This is a question now being asked by congressman. Presidential Influence. The question will be formally asked and a general discussion will follow on the propriety of using presidential in, fuence in purely state affairs when a resolution introduced this afternoon by Representative Robinson, of AT kansas, comes up in the house.
 The resolution requests the presi dent to inform the house whether he wrote a communication "condemning as invalid and improper legislation limiting the amount of salaries which life insurance companies may pay their officers; whether he authorized Drake to send out copies of the let ter to state insurance commissioners and whether the president requested Drake to send the letter conditioned that it be received and held conf dentially'"
 "I observe" said MT. Robinson, ex l plaining his resolution, the state ment that such a letter was sent out under the ban of secrecy. If the pres 1 ident did not write such a letter the public will be made to suffer as much
 as if he had done so, by reason of the
 fact that insurance officials of many
 states have been informed that ht
 has done so. For this reason con
 gross and the general public ought tC
 have the information which the reso lution seeks.
 At this time, when legislation af fecting the matter is pending in forty
 one states and before congress, l car hardly believe that our chief execu
 tive would attempt to prevent sucl Legislation by the seceret exertion O his personal or official influence. Thii
 is of vital importance to the public
 and l believe the representatives O
 the people ought to be encouraged
 both in state and national legislation
 to protect the public from the extrav
 agant expenditure of funds in whicl
 so many of them are directly inter
 estaa.

NO "SPOON|NG AT UNIVERSITY
 IF N. M.
Such Is Edict of President. Students immediately Try to Convict Two Young People of Violation of Order.

President ". G. Tight gave very fatherly talk to the students of the university at assembly, Tuesday morn ing of last week, on the delicate sub ject of lovemaking. He said the uEi- veristy was not primarily designed as a matrimonial machine. He agreed with Drummond that love is the great est thing in the world in the proper place and time, but that it was too sacred to be abused. The love that springs up among the preparatory students, the president thinks, is out a spasm, and that small per ceEt only of such cases ever develop into the real thing. These youthful parox- ysms, he said, serve to detract the mind from legitimate channels of ea- deavor, and much time is wasted that should be spent in learning the real lessons of college life. An authoTiLa- tive order was promulgated to the ef- feet that hereafter when any Hedging couple should be discovered cooing alone around the campus or lowering under the winter trees, or forming a group of two in the railways and on the stairs at the expense of lessons, etc, an epistle of information would be addressed to the parents of the partic' ular parties in the case.
 The students of the university ssl dom let pass an opportunity for fun The occasion presented itself last week. This time it was not one oi those rich mock faculty meetings, but 1t was a student trial which grew out of President Tights Tuesday talk. When assembly hour arrived, Instead of the usual lecture on Friday con siderable hustle was noticed at the stage end of the room where a court | was being organized, preparatory 10 the trial 1.-two love-makers.

FRANK BUCKLES |S FOUND
 DYING
Painted and Fell In Bathroom While Gas Was Leaking From a Jet and Dies Before Aid Could Be Called.

DOUGLAS, Jan. 15.-Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock Frank Buck les, a guest of the Goldman hotel in this city, was found drawing his last breath when the proprietor of the ho- tel reached him after putting boy through the transom of the bath room door to gain admission. The body Of Buckles was removed to a nearby room and q doctor called, but before Dr. Armstrong arrived life was extinct.
 The death of Frank Buckles yester- day morning at the Goldman hotel was a shock to many of the pioneers of Arizona who reside in this city and knew Buckles in the early days at Tombstone.
 Buckles arrived in Douglas on Fri day morning with H. E. Williamson from Pagoda Springs, Colorado, little town near Durango. Friday and Sat urday he looked up some of his old friends here, among them being Pete Johnson. of Bisbee, c. A. Overlook, w H. Finley and R. B. Sanderson. To these gentlemen he stated that he was here for the purpose of going into business of some kind which he would determine after looking over the con ditions and opportunities.
 Escaping Gas Killed Him.
 Buckles and Williams took rooms at the Goldman hotel. On yesterday morning Buckles announced his de- sire to take bath, stating that he had been invited to take dinner with his friend. c. A. Overlook. Mrs. Fish ssr, of the hotel, conducted Mir. Buckles to the bath room and going in turned on the gas of the instantan- eous gas heater and filled the tub about half full of water; when she left the bath room MT. Buckles entered it and shut the door.
 The Discovery.
 About ten minutes after MT. Buckles entered the bath room it was report ed to A A Fisher, the proprietor of the hotel, by someone that gas was escaping from some room. He i'm. mediately went in search of the trou- ble and after going into two rooms reached the bath room, which he found locked. and there noted an inA creased smell of gas. He put a small boy over the transom and when he opened the door 1t was discovered that Buckles was lying on the floor gasp ing his last breath. At once be called for assistance and carried Buckles to a nearby room and summoned Dr. Armstrong Buckles. according to the opinion of Mir. Fisher, only breathed two or three times after he was taken from the bath room, and when the doctor arrived life was found to be extinct and although vigorous efforts were made to restore life, nothing was available. It was the opinion of Dr. Armstrong that the deceased had met his death from the effects of the gas, he having an idiosincracy toward gas as some people have towards chloroform. Those who have known Buckles had never heard of his be- ing afflicted with heart trouble, as he had always been unusually robust and vigorous and a large, feshy man.

There must be lot of rotten
ness in the morals of Chesterfield
county, judging from the report
of its grand jury submitted al the
recent term of Court. AS many
as eleven couples are "presented"
for living in adultery, three wo-
men for keeping disorderly hous-
es and one man for deserving his
wife and failing TO support her.
Such showing reveals a state of
turpitude that is truly alarming :.
There are as good people in Ches-
terfeld as in any other county
Ii South Carolina. but its proper
ton of moral degenerates appears
to be abnormally large. Now Z,
it may he that Chesterfield is
really no worse than other coun-
ties, that if grand juries in other
parts OF the State were as vigi-
liant and fearless in the discharge
of their duties as the present
grand jury in that county seems
to be, conditions even more shock
ing and disgracelul might be
shown to exist elsewhere.

citizen and large taxpayer asked
us the other day. The question
is pertinent one. Not only
should the disbursements be sum-

all payments were classified
arranged under their proper
heads, so that it could be seen at

money was paid out on account
of each school district, how much
for salaries of officials, for the
support of the poor, for bridges,
for road work, ETC., etc. We do
not wish TO be understood, of

during the brief time that he has

custom in this and other coun-
