orphan stockholders in this sufferings and hardships, but we consider that they should have considered these mat ters seriously before causing this lock- out.
 Members of the local union who are out on a strike continue to leave the city to secure positions elsewhere, and it is now declared that there are only about a dozen strikers out of the thirty five who left the keys two weeks ago in the city at present. Some have gone to California, some to Mexico and oth- CTS to points in Texas and New Mexico and it is stated that there are jobs for all who wish to leave the city and take railroad positions. "Should the strike be ended now, it would take five weeks to get all the old men in their positions and maybe some of them would never come back, said an officer of the union today.-El Paso Herald.

NAVY MARKsMANsHIP HIGH
Records of Atlantic Fleet Regarded as Superior to Marks Which Earned
 Kings Decoration

For several years past the navy de- partment has not regarded it as good policy to acquaint foreign nations with the performances of the American naval gunners. It was felt that the publica- tion of good record made by our men would only serve to stimulate the gun ners of other navies to better their own performances, which in turn would re- quire additional effort on the part of the American gunners to maintain their superiority.
 But the publication recently of re- port that during target practice on the British Channel fleet, in the presence of King Edward, one gun made nineteen hits in twenty-one shots, thereby earn ing a decoration from the king, has naturally touched the pride of some American naval officers. They have looked into the records of the American gun pointers during the annual target practice just closed, and have found no reason to fear comparison with the gunners of any other navy. The fact lHdb lue important eleHlHs OI speed and caliber of gun are lacking in the repor tof the British performance makes it difficult to arrive at an exact com parison; but, from the number of shots fired, it is assumed that the British gun was not more than six inches in caliber and probably less.
 Taking some of the six-inch guns in the Atlantic fleet, one gunner on the armored cruiser Maryland made eleven shots and eleven hits in one minute. A gun on the battleship Ohio was fired at the rate of l0.Sl per minute. A six inch gun on the battleship Maine has record of perfect score at the rate of 10.4l per minute, and the battleship Missouri s best record was 10.30 shots per minute, each lodged in target.
 As compared with small guns, these six-inch records become insignificant A three-pounder on the battleship Vir- ginia made twenty shots and twenty hits in seyenty-fve seconds and another gun made ten shots and ten hits in twenty-two and one-half seconds, re- markable average of 26.67 shots and hits per minute.

Grief Kills an Elephant

Gladstone, one of the biggest ele- plants in captivity, valued by g circus which visited this city at $10,0OO, died near here from grief Late last year Gladstone's mate, Ruby, went insane, and had to be taken fro mthe circus train to the woods near Greensburg, Ind, and shot to death.
 Gladstone missed his wife and grieted so hard over his loss that he went to fasting. This began in September, 1906. The circus physicians constructed a powerful hypodermic, the size of a workman's hand bellows, and injected nourishment from time to time.
 Then Gladstone began to refuse wa ter, main feature of an elephont's bill of fare. The circus train was stopped near here and vain attempt was made to save the big elephant $ life. The elephant when it died was shadow of its former elf.-Bellefontaine, Ohio, dispatch to New York World

Ten Peaches the Climax

A fried chicken, peanuts, watermel- on, soda water, new straw hat and patent leather shoes were the first pur- chases made by Eddie Aikens, colored, and ten years old, who stole $7s0 from the pocket of coat William Ehble, a blacksmith, had left carelessly in his shop.
 Eddie had the time of his life until he ate ten big, luscious peaches he had bought at 15 cents apiece from street fruit stand. They and the other deli cacies made him sick and he was taken to the hospital. The police were still looking for the thief when they were notified that the stricken lad, thinking he was about to die, had confessed. He handed back about $700 of the stolen money.-Atlantic City dispatch to the New York World.

CONTINUANCE IN
 JASPER HEARING
Preliminary of Woman Accused of Murder to Be Concluded
 on September il
(From Wednesday s Dailyl

The preliminary hearing of Alena Jasper, charged with the murder of Bertha Lee, was held in Judge Thomas court yesterday afternoon and dozen witnesses were examined. Most of them were witnesses at the eoroner's inquest and nothing new was developed, their evidence being substantially the same as at that time. Judge Witcher ap- peared for the defendant and District Attorney Henry for the territory.
 At the conclusion of the evidence the attorney for the defense made a mo- tion for dismissal on the ground that the charge had not been proven and upon being denied, requested that the hearing be continued until such time when two witnesses wanted by the de- fense would be secured. This was granted and the hearing was continued until September II at p. m.
 There is an element of mystery con neeted with the two missing witnesses, who are said to be white men. Several witnesses in the hearing yesterday 'testi- fed that when the defendant had been  accused by the Lee woman of throwing the lamp at her, the Jasper woman de- nied the accusation and said that she could get two white men to prove that she did not throw the lamp, the blazing oil from which caused the death from burning of the other negress. No one seems to know the identity of the two men, except possibly the defendant, who was not placed on the stand and who declined to make use of her statutory right to make a statement. If the woman s story is true, the two missing witnesses are probably the only ones who were actual witnesses of the scene which resulted in the terrible death of one of the principals. The attorney for the defense stated to the court that he understood the men were employed in some mining camp in the outskirts of the district.

Where Raid Was Made

The arrest of four prominent Mex jeans of this city last evening on charges of conspiracy against the Diaz government of Mexico, may prove of no consequence, says dispatch of last week. Enrique Creel, ambassa- dor to the United States from Mexico, arrived at the Alexandria hote this morning from Canada, where he has been studying emigration and rriga- tiOn.
 ''I know of no charges against these men by the Mexican government, said Greet, "although they may be prose cuted by the United States for viola tiOn of the neutrality laws. I have nothing to do with the case.
 Greet stated that he was on his way to the state of Chihuahua, where he was recently chosen governor. He stat ed that he would at once assume the duties of that office, and that the mat ter of his return to Washington rested entirely with President Diaz.
 The men under arrest are members of a junta, an organization which ad- vocates revolution against the present government of Mexico. They are Ri- cardo Flores Magon, president of the junta; Librado Liviera, secretary; Mo desto Dias, editor of La Revolucion. and Antonio Vilareal The latter escaped from United States officials at Fl Paso while awaiting deportation to Mexico on a charge of melting a revolution at Cananea. While the Mexican govern ment may not care to press the charges of melting revolution against him. he is charged with committing a murder in the southern republic, and there can be no doubt that strong effort will be made to get him into Mexico. He es- capped from the United States govern ment official at Fl Paso by running to the street and disappearing while the officer was in 8 telegraph office.
 Ricardo Flores Nagon is the real head of the Mexican revolutionist movement. It was letters written by Magon to some of his lieutenants in Douglas, Ariz.. which were captured by the Arizona authorities and used in proceedings against nest of Mexican revolutionists who were operating from that territory. Several of the men whom these letters were written to were delivered over to the Mexican authorities and are now in jail at Hermosi,Io, The leader of the Arizona revolutionists was a man named SalcidO.

NINETY DAYS FUR
 ATTEMPT ID KISS
Expensive Sport at the Gibson Camp-Charge of Assault
 Is Not Pressed
lFrom Wednesday s pailyl

John L. Gilbert has been sentenced by Judge Thomas to spend ninety days iH the county jail on a charge of ex- hibiting deadly weapon. The original charge against Gilbert was attempting to assault girl at Bellevue, the camp of the Gibson Copper company. It was shown at the trial that Gilbert had not made an assault, nor had he attempted to, his offense being merely playful at tempt to kiss the girl, whom he pursued about the dining room at the boarding house. The girl managed to get away from Gilbert and later Gilbert appeared at the girl home waving six-shooter. He was considerably under the influence of liquor and was arrested. He made his escape while on the way to Globe but was recaptured the next day by Sheriff Thompson.

|S BADLY SCARED
 BY G|LA MONSTER
Superintendent MalIard Re- ceiveS a Present and Then
 ForgetS About It
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Superintendent c. c. Mallard had an experience with a Gila monster last evening that he will not forget iD a hurry. While inspecting the damage done by the heavy rains yesterday the other side of San Carlos, one of the crew of the work train presented him with a live Gila monster which he had just captured. The superintendent placed the monster in an oil can in the rear of his railway automobile and then forgot about everything but the wash outs on the other Gila Monster.
 He left for Globe shortly before dark in his benzine locomotive, accompanied by Special Officer c. c. Miller. As they were speeding into the local yards the superintendent felt tug at his belt and when he felt to see what it was, his hand came in contact with the reptile. Then the "super" went up in the air and if the auto hadn t been running on rails it would probably have climbed a telegraph pole. Finally MT. Miller came to the rescue with a ell-directed blow from his six-shooter and made the mon ster release his grip on the superintend- ent belt. Except from the shock to his nerves, MT. Mallard feels no i'll eff fleets, but he has decided to abstain from receiving further gifts of the rep tile specie.

Did Francis George, which was the name according to Coroner Scott of the man who was run over yesterday morn ing and mutilated beyond recognition by Southern Pacific freight train just short distance east of the city. deliberately commit suicide? asks the Tucson Star.
 Did he go to sleep while his motor car was travelling eastward and thereby invite certain death7
 Was he murdered and his body then thrown on the track with the motor car left in front of an approaching freight train, making it impossible to stop immediately?
 These are three questions with which the coroner's jury, which is to meet tomorrow in Justice scott's court, will be confronted.

One Weeks Work Results in Fifty-eight New Members for Chamber of Commerce.
GIVEN ANOTHER WEEK
 TO COMPLETE CANVASS
Lack of Mail Service Comes Up for Discussion and Commit tee Will Visit Postmaster Plans of Chamber.
(From Fridays Daily)

At the meeting of the board of gov ernors of the Globe Chamber of Com meree held last evening at the court house, the committee on membership, which was appointed to canvass the city for new members, reported that in the single week they have been at work the membership of the chamber has been almost doubled. Judge Thomas, who is chairman of the committee, re- ported that fifty-nine new members were secured with but litle effort and asked on behalf of the committee that another week be granted the committee, so that the list could be increased to at least two hundred. The committee was given until a week from Monday to conclude and at that time the char ter list will be closed and the regular standing committees appointed.
 The First Grievance
 The first public matter to come before the chamber is that of the present lack of mail facilities owing to the wash outs on the Gila Valley road. The ques- tion is one that has been a source of considerable inconvenience to almost everyone in the city, as no mail has arrived here since Monday morning and none has left Globe since Sunday morn ing. The matter was fully discussed by the members last evening, but ow- ing to the lack of knowledge concern ing the postoiiice regulations governing such contingencies, the only action talk en was that of instructing the execu- tive committee to call on Postmaster Allison and see if some way could be found to get the mails in and out of Globe during the present railroad tieup.
 Members Gratifed
 The successful work of the member ship committee of the chamber is a source of much qualification to those who have taken the lead in organizing the chamber, and it is hoped that the organization will be in smooth running order in few weeks. But little work has been mapped out as yet, but it is generally agreed that an aggressive ad- vertising campaign will be inaugurated early this fall, when Globe will be boosted all over the country as it has never been boosted before. Efforts will also be made to have Globe well repre- sented at the territorial fair in Phoe nix in November by the presence there of large delegation of Globe boosters, as well as a splendid exhibit from this county.

denee may be introduced to confirm the murder theory, but that is hardly prob able. as it would be difficult to find any motive for murder except for the fact that George had money with him.
 It is hardly believed that he commit ted suicide for, according to the rail road men who knew him since his com ing here several days ago, no motive could be assigned for such rash act.
 This would leave only the theory that he had fallen asleep and was in the path of the on-coming freight trains which completely crushed the motor bi. cycle and which ground George into small bits; yet the theory is not abso- lute.
 A card found in the pocket of George s coat, which was cut into sev- eral pieces, gave the clue to the name of the unfortunate man.
 A short distance away lay the lever of the motor car and clutching the lever was the right hand of the dead man. A few yards away lay several fingers of the other hand and the remainder of the mans body was scattered for a distance of hundred yards along the track. The mutilation of the body by the car wheels was the most fright ful ever known here.
 George was a member of bridge painting gang and he had been in the city but for a short time He was but slightly known to railroad men, but it was said that he was probably resi- dent of California. The bridge painting gang are travellers and their occupation is such that they are compelled to cover wide stretches of territory and are practically without any definite homes.
 The fact that the electric headlight of an on-coming freight train can be seen for long distance makes it al most impossible to believe that the fatality could have been purely acci- dental.
 The glare of the headlight is said to be so strong that it would awaken a sleeping person. In addition the sole obstruction to the free passage of the light at the point where the accident occurred were scattered clusters of cacti, the land in that section being almost level.
 A short distance east of Vails and about midway between that point and Seneca Siding, Mexican who could not be identified was caught by train and instantly killed, his head being sev- cred from his body. Every possible effort was made yesterday to identify the body, but without success.
 The bodies of both unfortunate men were brought to this city and coK oner's inquest will be held here.

On Tuesday, the 18th of the month, a son was born to Willie Nadeau and wife, who live at No. 13 Gooch street, weighing thirteen pounds and being the thirteenth child born to them, all of whom are living. Mir. and Mrs. Nadeau were married on the 18th day of the month, and the last child was born thirteen months after the last pre- ceding birth in the family.
