EXCURSION PICNIC
 OF BOOSTERS CLUB

DOUGLAS, May 29.-(SpeciaI.)- J.
 Tickets for the joint excursion-pic- nic of the Boosters club and united Sunday schools were today assigned to the members of the club for sale among their friends and acQuaint- ances. Each member will try to dis pose of five adult tickets, two inter mediate tickets and two junior tick cts and from the way the Boosters generally boost there is no doubt that the club will take a big crowd with them 10 Turicachi on Decora- tiOn day
 Plans are on foot to make the trip going and coming delightful and the program already formulated for the events at Turicachi assure a good time while there. It is hoped that the Boosters can have at least two cars and certain that one car will be filled, even now at the start of the sale of tickets. The rate is very low Ordinarily a return ticket to this ex- cursiOn point costs S6.14 CgOId) but this time a journey down into old Mexico and back costs the adult only a dollar.
 The intermediate tickets are for boys and girls from F to 15 years Of age and cost 50 cents and the junior tickets are for children under r and are on sale at 25 cents. Each indi- yidual or party will take their own lunch and enjoy a picnic meal in the shady hooks in which Turicachi abOunds and find time to take in the big program.

 Eleven students-ten in the prepar- atOry department and one of the col legiaJe department--have been Or dered by the college authorities to find quarters outside of the Univer- sity of Arizona doTmitOries, says the Tucson Citzen.
 They have been suspended because they were discovered playing poker. The stakes were not high. It was only a penny ante" game that was played, but one of the strictest regu- lations of the university states that no gambling will be permitted.
 The discovery that poker playing was going on in the South HaIl-the preparatory dormitory-and the sus- pension of the students resulted in a decided sensation in university cir. cies.
 The students who are not longer to be allowed rooms in the dormitory will. however. be permitted to take the final examinations which begin this week

EXCITING RACES FOR
 THE FOURTH OF JULY
Bisbee Will Be On Hand at Douglas to Defend Cup
 in Hose Events,

DOUGLAS, May 29.-(Special) )- One of the attractions which will cause much excitement on the glorious Fourth will be the hose races. This bids fair to be one of the greatest at fractions of the kind ever seen in the territory.
 We are working hard said A. K. Adamson yesterday, "and l see no good reason why this should not be one of the greatest successes of the kind ever seen in the west. The boys ar working nobly and several teams are in training. When this event 1 is called up for the Fourth you will see some of the swiftest work ever seen within the limits of the city of Douglas.
 We had some great races two years ago and some great records were SCOT ed by several of the tams, but from what I can learn this year, there will be faster time made than two years ago. All I ask of the several teams Is practice, for they had the material to do the business"
 | In speaking of the several teams which have been entered for the hose races for the coming celebration Mir. Adamson saidl
 T think we can count on at least 1 six teams for the races. The Douglas boys are practicing and are sure of doing finely; a team is being trained at Pirtlevilla. waich is doing well and as they are the most of them Mexicans, they are taking special pride to have an opportunity of competing with the , crack American teams. The Copper Queen shelter team Is working har,l and have some fast men on the team lthis year. All of the old men are thele with the exception of one or two new ones. The c. & A. report that team is getting in shape out there which should be one of the best in the ter ritory. The new town of Warren IS lined up in good shape and are train { ing hard for the first money. From what can learn the Warren team is Ia dandy It V III he interesting to en. tertain a team from the youngest town in the territory and they win make the old teams so some to head them of.
 "Bisbee. Of ccurse, will be here, as the Bisbee boys hoId the cup and they will be here to defend their cup. s>t. Bisbee is one of the liveliest punches in the entire west, we may look for a great crowd of rooters with the Bis bee team. They will, without dOuDt, come down on c avenue like house fire" but We will have teams right ihere at home to lead them a merry chase.
 i Tombstone has not been heard from definitely as yet As they always have one of the fastest teams in the ter ritory, we are anxious 10 have Tomb stone represented in the great contest. There will no doubt be other entries but these are the teams which We can reasonably count on. The rules of the race will be published in the Dispatch as soon as adopted and all will have the opportunity to see just what is being done and what rules the several teams will have to run under" If the other sports come to the scratch the same as the hose teams are lining up for the Fourth, we will have one of the great times of our history. There is no reason that every member of the program should not be great attractions and pull off a series | of splendid events.

TN THE SOUTH SEA
PROVISION WHICH IS MADE FOR CREWS OF WRECKED SHIPS.
Food Sheds" Which Have Been Placed on Remote Islands and How They Have Saved Many
 a Helpless Mariner.

The recent rescue of 15 castaWays from the wrecked barkentine Dundon- ald illustrates anew the value of the relief depots maintained in the far southern seas for the benefit of ma rooned mariners. The Dundonald, with 8 crew of 27, went to pieces on the rocks on Disappointment Island. about 200 miles south of New Zealand, on March 2, 1907. Twelve were lost, and the 15 survivors sustained themselves Cor eight months and through a severe winter buoyed up with the hope of reaching Auckland Island, only five miles distant, where they knew that ample supplies of food and a seawor- thy boat stored.
 In the meantime they managed to subsist on mollyhawks and seal meat cooked over a fire which they never allowed to go out, as fewer matches than men had been saved. When spring came determined efforts were made to reach Auckland Island in roughly constructed boats. Two of these frail craft were smashed, but a third attempt was successful in land ing a small party, who found the re- lief depot and the boat, by means of which they were able to convey their mates to bountiful stores of food. A month later the government steamer Hinemoa, stopping at the island on its annual trip brought the l5 Robinson CTusoes to New Zealand
 
 The saving of the lives of these sail DTS was accomplished through the agency of a peculiar system of char tty which is kept up in that region of almost perpetual blizzards on various islands lying from 200 to TOO miles south of New Zealand and only a 'ew hundred miles north of

4 GOLF HANDICAP
 ON DOUGLAS LINKS There Is Feeling of Certainty as to Future Matches With
 Warren, They Say,

DOUGLAS, May 9.-(SpeciaI.)- J.
 The fixture for Memorial day on the golf links of the Country club will be q handicap ball sweepstakes, an event which has not been tried here before. The idea is for each player to drop a ball in a basket in the club house as entrance fee for the match and the balls will later be di- vided among the winner and the oth- CT players who do the best work, probably between the first three or four in a proportion which shall have been decided upon.
 The regular handicap on bogey will be made the basis of the handicap allowed each player. It is thought that Cuthbert and Carl Smith will be the two scratch men and that they will make each of the other players an allowance of four strokes less than the handicap which that player re- ceiyes in bogey competition. Such events are generally highly success ful and the innovation here is expect ed to still further increase interest in the game for it is the first competi- ton between individuals for an imme- diate prize.
 6lsbee Match Uncertain.
 There is a feeling of uncertainty as to further matches with Bisbee. As yet no word has been received from the management of the Warren club as 10 any arrangements for the match which it was supposed was scheduled for Sunday. An attempt is being made today to get into cOmmunica- ton with some member of the War ren committee and ascertain definite ly the . ~-sent and future status of the matter. Having won the matches so far pI~ySl with Warren 1t is hard Iy fitting that advances for a cOntin- uance of relations should be made by Douglas but rather that Warren should ask for further games.
 Warren Wants Tennis
 The Bisbee papers have accounts Of coming tennis tournaments on the Warren courts and that challenge is forthcoming to Douglas for a match at that sport. Little interest has been shown on the Douglas courts as yet but it is certain that the local club will be only too ready to accept such challenge for the members believe they can be as successful at the net as they have been on the links and, win or lose, are ready for a match with Warren at any branch of sport. With this idea in view activty may be expected among the tennis experts of the Douglas Country club in the next few days in which event the courts will lose their air of idIeness and come into their own.

AMATEUR ORGANIZATION
 OF TWILIGHT LEAGUE
". M, c. A. Management al
 Douglas Interested.

DOUGLAS, May 29.-CSpeciaL)--
 \ permanent organization of the amateur ball teams known as the Twilight league was effected last night at a meeting of the representa- tives of the various teams at the Y. NJ. C. A. building. It was decided to select as president one who will not be identified with any particular team and with that end in view this office was rendered to Fl. C. Beumler. Charles Brown, ir., of the fire depart ment was selected as first vice presi- dent; Will DOran. second vice pTesi- dent; Jose PeTalta treasurer, and Lane BlumcnLhal. secretary. In addi- tiOn to these there are on the board Of directors the following representa- tiYes of the various teams: Fire de- partment, Charles Scott; Copper Queen store, A. W. NOrcop; Y NJ. c. A. team, R. Baltzley; c. and A. smelt. CT team, Jack Gibbons; Southwestern railroad team, B. w. Skinner; high school, Tom Rice.
 This board of directors will hold its first meeting tonight and take up the matter of the arrangement of a schedule, the intention being to start the ball rolling with one or more games next week. These games are to be played in the late afternoon af- ter the days business is over and it is from this plan that the league takes Its name. It is probable that the fans will have to depend on the games of this league for most of their fun until late in the fall for there is little or no likelihood of any prOfes- sional ball here until such time as the major and minor leagues shall have called it off for the winter.
 At last nights meeting the consti. tuition and bylaws were perfected and the organization declared perma, nent. There is every reason to antici. pate that the league will be a success and il is certain that more players will get in the game than Douglas has ever had on the diamond in any prev iOus season.

perpetual ice. On those remote shores, rocky, sterile, storm bound, has been established a chain of food sheds" as the sailors call hem, from which a stranded, starv- ing crew may obtain provisions to prolong life until they can be taken aboard a passing ship. In galvanized iron houses. about 15 feet wide and 20 feet long, are stored timed meat. biscuits, cocoa, tea, four, matches, candles, lamps: kerosene. axes, fish ing tackle, blankets, clothing, cloth, -cedles, cotton and many more things likely to prove of service to a ship wrecked crew. In each one of these sheds may also be found a good, sea worthy, decked boat, fitted with sails, oars, compass and a chart, giving the course to the Bluff Lighthouse, the nearest point on the New Zealand coast The islands which are now sup piled with these relief depots are the Antipodes, Auckland, Enderby and Campbell islands, which belong to
 Few Zealand, and the Macquaries, be- Unging to Tasmania.
 The New Zealand government erect ed these stOrehouses and keeps them stocked. Once each year the govern ment steamer Hinemoa visits the islands to repair the sheds in case they should have been damaged by storm and to overhaul the stores of provisions. And on almost every cruise the Hinemoa rescues some stranded crew.
 Before relief depots were estab, lished on these far distant islands many luckless mariner perished on their inhospitable shores. On Ender. by Island may be found a cemetery where the castaways of 8 half dozen vessels are buried. Several of the headboards bear this significant in. scription: Died of starvation"
