LONGWORTH IS SAD
 4 OVER PRES THREAT
M ga TTseA MaySBeS Maroened If Negro Is Made Suryeyonof Customs II 10 at Cincinnati, ,deid
II-r------- I---8l N NsIlI

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb lls.-I Sou-in-law Nicholas Longworth is the saddest man sseen around these parts since the secession of South carolina. It Is his fathertinesaw's threatened appointment of the snegro. Ralph " Ter, to be the surveyor of customs at Cincinnati that saddens him.
 MT. Longworth comes from Cincin- nati, though he comes from there with difficulty in fact. last time he nearly stayed at home, and this des- pite the active part taken by his wife in his campaign.
 Now the leading Republicans of Cincinnati have served notice on the most eminent son-in-Iaw in America that if Ralph Tyler gets the job the gross any more. Hence the son-in- law has been at the White House three times a day pleading desperate ly with the exalted parsonage to keep Ralph Tyler from Cincinnati, so that the son-in-law can continue to coms from there
 [ Meanwhile the Republicans of -C:n-
 cinnati. who are in all kinds of trou- bie politically. and have been ever since celebrated speech by Secra ! tary Taft. are begging, the PresIGen; 1 not to send Mr Tyler there. They
 are urging him to send Tyler up tc Cleveland. where the people are all i abolitionists and won't rsina Cincin i natl is too close to the Kentucky bor i der to care much about William
 Lloyd Garrison.
 ] Petitions have also come in thaf the President, if hc really must sent 1 Ralph Tyler from Columbus 70 Gin i cinnati, will not make him suryeyo | of customs, because the sons e th' | first families will have to work m | der Tyler as their boss. The -e]nes
 is made that he win make Tyler ap praiser of merchandise, in which DC 1 si.ion he will have only one clerk an' | will not come into close contact witl
 the first families.
 Meanwhile the other negroes G Ohio have decided to suspend juda
 ment on the Brownsville case unh
 they see which one of them lands thf
 job. and every male negro of ngt { from Columbus to Cincinnati IS sr
 gagged in proving to the Presiden
 that he is better man than Tyle' l The last petition came in this even
 ing. handed up by Representative ] Bannon, from a candidate who al l leges he is the leading barber o ! Portsmouth
 1 It has dawned on the Presidenl
 that whon,2ver he appoints. the only
 negro with whom he will make h;t | will be the one who gets the job. Ar
 air of peevishness pervades the White i House, and all that anybody tisre i will say is that Ralph Tyler will get
 a place. Further questions are un i wise
 Meanwhile. Senator Foraker. whf l halls from Cincinnati, is biting wice nails in his committee room. and son
 in-law Longworth is getting con
 stsntly increasing mail from Cincin
 natl and is being treated for nervou: ] prostTaton.

STILES BECOMES FATHER IF
 GIRL
Baby Is Borne to Wife of Noted Outlaw at Home on San Pedro Rivef-0fficerS Await Stiles Visit to infant.

Again does Billy" Stiles. the noted outlaw, come into the lime light: this time as the father of a 12-pound baby girl which was borne to hin by his wife. at their home on the San Pedro river at ? o'clock yesterday morning. Whether the paternal feel ing for the new born infant will be thss undoing of the desperado is now engaging the attention of the officers of two nations, and there does not seem to be doubt that if Stiles at | tempts to see the atom of humanfuy, which no doubt adds to his love Of | living. his liberty will be forfeited | to the law.
 On "Wednesday afternoon at 7 o'clock telegram wa sreceived at the c. &A. dispensary. requesting pr. c. L. Edmundson to hurry to the l Stiles ranch. which is located about a mile south of Hereford on the San Pedro river. The physician started | at once, and later in the evening Dr. N- C. Bledsoe also made the trip to assist his colleague. At ? o'clock yesterday morning the girl was born, and the doctors state that the con dition Of the mother and child was excellent.
 On their return to Bisbee the pny- ! sicians stated that Stiles had not bsn near the house while they were there, but without a doubt the birth 1 of the child explains the reports which have been coming in to the 1 effect that the outlaw has -5een
 haunting the country in the vicinity of his home during the past two weeks. spurred to risk his life by anxiety for his wife.
 1 Among the officers of the law and
 those who knew Stiles in the days | before he held up the Southern Pa cific train at Cochise station and af- rerwards whi.a he was commencing his career of iawIessness. the opinion | is prevalent that when il comes 10 capturing him there will te a des. -erate fight, and the man who has tt'e more nerve and the better eye 1 will win out. On account of the re-
 ports 10 the effect that Stiles has been in the valley, the Arizona raneer force, county officers and a picked bod yof Mexican Ruraies under the 4 SOihHouu Of tue 1ds1Ou5 tOtOEti 6DsS terlitsky. have been frawing a rzsf
 around the home of the outlaw. Fo- a radius Of fifty miles in all direct.
 ionsi from the Stiles home. on both sides of the international boundary lime. are men determined to bring
 the desperado to justice and willing
 to -isk their lives in capturing one Of the most desperate characters in
 the history of Arizona.
 Opinion as to whether Stiles win l visit his home is divided. some thinking that he will take his nIe
 n hs hands to have look at his only child. and others believing that he
 will remain away from home until the officers become tired of wstchfnIness.

FIRE RACES AT TOWN IF OON
 LUIS
Three Houses Are Burned to Ground In Spite of Heroic Efforts Origin of Fire Said to Be lncendiary.


 It was only after strenuous efforts ,on the part of the inhabitants that the small town of Don Luis was saved from complete destruction by fire. sup posedly of incendiary origin, which broke out in the rear of house owned by Fred Bedburg early yesterday morning.
 At about 3:s0 o'clock yesterday morning the. inhabitants of the town of Don Luis were awakened by 8 fire alarm. and all turned out to fight the flames. At that time the fire was rag ing in the rear of the Hedburg cot tage, and within a short time in spite of the efforts of a bucket brigade which did much more effective worl than was possible with the limited stream from the water main, enyelop ed the whole house.
 The next structure in line was branch of the Bisbee Mercantile Com pany, owned by Criffiths & Trotman The bucket brigade soaked the house with water, but the heat from ths flames which were consuming tht Hedberg house dried out the timbers and when a fe wsparks alighted on tho roof, it was but a matter of 8 few minutes before the store was il flames
 With two buildings enveloped il flames it looked as if the entire set tlement would be wiped out of exist ence. and terror lent energy to th. iire-fighters in their determination |, cheek the flames.
 Again sparks began to fly and sooI the house of c. F. Peabody was oI fire. All of the furniture was remover from the house, an defforts made t drench the flames. but without avail The house was a total wreck in l; short time, but o1 account Of the in tervening space the flames did no spread any further.
 The total damage is estimated b! the owners of the property amounted 10 s35e0. most of which was covered by insurance
 Judging from the testimony of thos, who were first to arrive at the seem the fire was of an incendiary origin as there was no stove or fireplace Il the rear of the building.

unsuno On Way to Desert.
 ALBUQUERQUE, Feb. 14.-Scotty. of Death Valley, he of the flaming red necktie and the swagger. was in the city Sunday, arriving on the California limited en route back to the desert country and his fabulous mines from a trip east Scotty came and went un- heraIded, unhonored and unsung. and very few of the people who happened to be at the station even recognized him. All of which goes to demonstrate the painful fact that the notoriety gained by individuals of the Coal Oil Johnny" class is pathetically short lived. Scotty succeeded In getting his name in the headlines in Kansas City. largely from force of habit on the part of the newspapers and handed cut a few s tips to a few walters. But there was no sensation and no scare heads. Scotty will have to break out in a new place if there are to be any more thrills.

Robert Brown, of Hartselle Refused to Pay Conductor More Than Two And Half Cents a.
 Mile.

Decatur. Sept. 2s--tspeciaD- Robert Brown, of Hartseiie. has filed suit in the Morgan county Law and Equity court here against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in the sum of ;I.9es for alleged damages
 So far as known this is the first case in Alabama that has been filed in the State affecting the-.new railroad laws which have been the subject of so much discussion and so much contro- yersya between Governor Conner and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany.
 A few days ago Mir. Brown was a passenger on a South bound Louisville and Nashville train. He told the con- ductor of the train, Mir. Arnold, of Nashville. that he wanted to go~to Gull man, and rendered the conductor two and a half cents mile from Decatur to CuIIman, distance of thirty-three miles. Mir. Arnold refused to take this amount saying he was instructed by the company to collect three cents a mile. Mr. Brown refused to pay the three cent rate and at crossing some distance south Of Hartseile Mir. Arnold stopped the train and put Mir. Brown off the train. MT. Brown did not enter the train again.
 Mir. Browns attorney Is John R. Sample, one of the members of the State Legislature of this county. He resides at Hartselle.
 Some weeks ago Major w. H. Long, Jr., of Decatur. the other member of the Legislature of this county stated in communication in the newspapers that he was advising his clients to of- fer the railroads two and a half cents mile and if this was refused by the conductors for them to let the conduc- tors put them off the trains and then bring suit against the company for damages.
 Since this Is the first case of this nature which has been filed fin the courts of this county, and so far as known the only one of like nature that has been filed In the State. the outcome of the case will be watched with more than usual interest.
 The Morgan County Law and Equity court Is in session and 1t Is quite like ly that this case will come up for trial | at this term of the court.

MT. Smith meant that he will not leave Montgomery without having secured some material for the service.
 \ Though 1t at first seemed that the officer would not secure a single em- ploye for the governmental service, in the past two days things have looked brighter and MT. Smith. simultaneous ly with the smile. announced yesterday afternoon that five men had already signified their intention of joining Uncle Sam down in Panama and he expects more before he goes away
 Of these five men, two are black smiths and three are machinists. the latter of whom had been previously employed at the Atlantic Coast Line shops.

It is a close finish that the contest ants in The Advertiser contest for Monty" the beautiful black shetland pony, and the cart, made last week. The leading contestants are so closely grouped and the margin of votes so small that the manager of the contest could not tell until late last evening which one of the boys and girls would be ahead when all the votes were counted.
 But 1t was little Miss Vivian Slough who had the distinction of leading the race when all the ballots were counted, to close up the weeks work. Jack Steiner, Maud Williams and Kathleen Armstrong were so close behind that days work would easily change the standing,
 only the names of contestants that have put in as many as 100 votes are published. Other names will appear as they reach that mark.
 Grown-up folks as well as the young ones have become intensely interested in this Pony and Cart Contest and new candidates are entering each day The contest manager yesterday re- ceived a letter from 8 little girl who expects to move to Montgomery on Oc- tober 1 and Is going to promptly en- ter the contest.
