WILL BUY FURNITURE
 FOR GADSDEN HOTEL
E, R. PirtIe Will Go to Eastern Cities This Week On
 That Business.

E.. R. Pirtle. of the Gadsden Hotel company, will start east on Wednes- day of this week for the purpose of making purchases of all the furni- ture and fixtures required for the new Gadsden hotel in this city. At Chicago Mir. Pirtle will be joined by Mir. Rous- CT, who it will be remembered pu> chased the furniture and opened the Copper Queen hotel in Bisbee when 1t was completed about four years ago. Mir Rouser is now proprietor of one of the leading hotels in Indianapolis. but has agreed to assist in selecting the furniture for the new hotel in this city, because of his friendship for it's owners. Another eminent eastern hotel man will join Pirtle and Rouser for conference before the matter of style of furniture is decided upon.
 MT. Pirtle expects to be away from Douglas for one month and will be- sides Chicago, visit Grand Rapids, Michigan, and New York city.
 Just what style of furniture will be decided on is not known yet, but it will be modern and high class, befit- ting the elegant building for which it is intended. It can hardly be esti. mated what the total cost of the fur nishing of the Gadsden will be. but it will be well over S30,000. Besides the furniture MT. Pirtle will also pur- chase the electric light fixtures while he is in the east.
 It is now expected by Contractor Kroger that he will have the new ho. tel completed and ready to turn over to the company by the middle of July next By that time all the furniture and fixings will be here and the date for the opening will not be later than September l, according to present plans
 When the Gadsden is ready for busi. ness Douglas will have one of the finest hotels in the southwest, which will add greatly to the importance of our fast growing city.

FREQUENT RUnORsO OF
 P. 8 E. TRANSFER
Southern Pacific Named As the Probable Purchaser But
 Rumor unconfirned.

PH0ENIX, April e.-Rumors are consistently circulated concerning the probable transfer of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad property to the con trol of the Southern Pacific system. All efforts made to verify them at authoritative sources have been fi- tile, nevertheless such transaction continues to be referred to by men who are locally supposed to know something about the railroad situa- tiOn.
 It is known that the Southern Pa cific has been somewhat active of late and it is reported that work is going on at Winkleman in the ex- tension of the Arizona & Eastern line up the Gila box canyon. Whether this Is merely to provide an outlet for the Saddle Mountain Mining com pany. the natural railroad point for which is a few miles above WinkIe- man. or whether it is for continuous constructive operations beyond that point has not yet been made clear to those who are watching the situation.
 That some sort of an agreeable ar engagement between the roads yves entered into long time ago, respect ing box canyon, to the effect that the Arizona Eastern should operate that section of the proposed line, seems quit evident Whether that also means aA arrangement whereby the same company will assume control of the P & E. as now built and oper- ated, seems still to be an open aues- ton and one of considerable interest. It is likely that some authoritative announcement may be looked for in the near future. The main thing though. the point that central Arizona is most interested in, is that event ually and in the near future, there will most likely be transportation clear through this central section of the territory, thus greatly augment ing the good work begun by the P. & E in opening up the Pinal county mining fields for all commercial in terests.

motive. They argue that Arizona can not consistently send delegation to the next Republican National Conven- ton which would be bound to follow
 Roosevelt's lead. which would beyond
 doubt be for man who would adopt the views of Roosevelt on the joint statehood bill. At least eighty-five per cent of the Republicans of Arizona voted against joint-statehood last No vember. Foraker was complimented and praised in the highest terms by every county convention. and in addi- ton the Senator from Ohio Is in re- ceipt of hundreds of personal letters, resolutions Of commercial organiza- tions and other representative bodies, testifying to the high esteem in which he is held by the people of Arizona. For the Arizona Republicans to send a Roosevelt delegation to the next con vention could be viewed in no other light than a slap at Foraker and notice to the effect that his good work for Arizona had not been appreciated and that the Republicans of Arizona were at least indifferent 10 his attitude in the next Congress on this question,

for President and if not successful himself will have sufficient votes in the convention 10 enable him to take a prominent part in the deliberations of that body. and the writing of the Republican National Platform.
 In conversation with a group of Phoenix politicians here on Monday night, J. C. Adams, proprietor of the Adams Hotel, and who was elected mayor at the last city election, came out flat-footed for FoIaker. Adams probably has more influence in the Republican politics of this county and city than any other one or even two men for that matter. With Adams for Foraker in Maricopa county, together with his large following in the ranks and file who believe that the Republi- cans of Arizona owe the delegation from this territory to him. on account of his good fight for the autonomy of the territory, it is expected that a Foraker movement will be launched in every county in the territory.
 The Republicans in Arizona who are fayoring FoTaker. are doing so from what they conceive to be a patriotic

which in all likelihood will again be presented and advocated in a vigorous manner by the administration Republi- cans.
 In the recent city campaign in Phoenix Mayor Coggins was the ad- ministration candidate for mayor and the fight against Coggins was lead by eN-Mayor Adams, who has come out with the statement that Arizona owes 1t 10 Foraker to send a friendly Foraker delegation to the next Ma tional Republican convention.
 In the event that Adams inaugurates Foraker boom in Arizona it is safe to predict that Yavapai and Cochise county Republicans would be found in the Foraker band wagon. likewise Pima and Yuma counties. These five counties would control the convention and elect the delegates to the national convention, and if is safe to presume that the smaller counties would be eager to rally to the standard o, Foraker who did more than any othe, Republican in the United States u save Arizona from an obnoxious unioe with New Mexico.

MOTHER GETS INCUBATOR BABY

TOPEKA. Kan, April 10.-The Kansas Supreme Court decided to- day that Mrs. Charlotte E. Bleakley of Lawrence is entitled to the 'incu- bator baby" exhibited at the St. Louis Worlds Fair. This reverses the de- cision of the Douglas County district court and upholds the decision of the Circuit Court of Illinois, which held that Mrs. Bleakley is the mother of the child.
 The decision today ends most in teresting fight for possession of the baby. James G. Barkley and Stella Barkley, his wife, who were in charge of an exhibit at the St Louis fair, saw the baby in the incubator con cession They traced it's parentage to Mrs. Bleakley of Lawrence, who was persuaded to sign a deed of adoption to Mrs. Barkley. The baby had been placed in the concession by st. Louis midwife. who. it developed later, had told Mrs. Bleakley that it had been born dead.
 Mrs. Bleakley. uncertain that the child was really hers and wishing to aid Mrs Barkley to gain possession oA AN thC hAtG o4oAN- SaN adoption papers. Later Mrs. Bleak ley, becoming satisfied that the child was her own daughter. sought to re- claim it. The case was tried in Hi nois. and Mrs. Bleskley given the GUS tody of the child. The Barkleys made another effort. however, to regain possession through the district court of Kansas. The Kansas district cours finally gave judgment for the Bark leys. but Mrs. Bleakley Kidnapped the child. escaped to Illinois and placed herself under the jurisdiction of the court which had decided in her favor. Eugene F. Ware, former commis- sioner of pensions. finally took Mrs. Bleakley's case before the Kansas Supreme Court, which now gives her the custody of the child and coincides with the decision of the Illinois court | that she it's mother.

 PHOENIX. Arizona, April 10.-The interest which has attached to the Republican City Convention held here last night Is caused by the fact that the administration forces and the Re publican insurgents in this city are having a test of strength preparatory to the Inauguration of campaign to be waged for control of the Arizona delegation to the next Republican Ma. tional Convention.
 In brief. small sized Foraker boom has made its appearance among the rank and file of the Republican party in this territory which is not at all pleasing to the administration forces holding office at the present time in Arizona. Naturally, the President Is depending upon his Federal appointees to deliver the Arizona delegation bag and baggage in the next National con vention in favor of the Republican candidate. who bears the stamp 70.

OPPOSED PRIEST SINGS IN CAFE

Being without means, he advertised for a position as a secretary, but, failing to get such employment. he took place as a car conductor. Now he is using his fine tenor voice, which delighted his con gregation at the reading desk and the altar, and has signed to sing at a cafe concert.
