LARGE REALTY DEAL
IS CONSUMATED
Three Business Properties Sold
To Globe People For Sixty
Thousand Dollars.

GLOBE, Dec. 24-Probably the larg.
est real estate deal made in Globe this
season was consummated yesterday
when three business properties, owned
principally by Philip Oates, passed IN
to the hands of a combination of local
people for a sum in the neighborhood
of $60,00O
The deal was negotiated by H. Per
cival Oates, son of Philip, who has
been here for several weeks on this
and other business. The property In
cluded in the deal Is the Hitchcock
building, at present occupied by the
Palace pharmacy; rne Oates-Wight-
man building. occupied by hardware
store of j. S. Miles, and the Oates
building, two doors below the last
mentioned. at present occupied by a
millinery store. The hitchcock build
ing has twenty-five feet frontage and
is well improved, beng covered by a
good brick building, and is an espe-
cially valuable piece OF property, To-
Gated, as it is, in the center of the
best business block on Broad street.
Both other buildings are fine proper
ties, although not quite so centrally
located.
AE htaAltc VI ltiS VIM hoFC
come owners Of the property have not
yet been given out, but will be made
public within a few days. The best
information that could be gained IN
this regard is to the effect that they
are local men, using local capital,
which is only another evidence OF the
confidence in home real estate ais
played by Globe men.
The property was bought for IN
yestment, and it is not thought that
any immediate improvements will be
made on any of the property. 1t is
understood that at least one of ne
buildings is tied DIP in a long time
lease that will prevent immediate i'm
provement.
While Philip OaIes was the princi-
pal owner of all the properties, asso-
ciated with him in the Oates Wight
man building was DR.. L. E. Wightman,
who was half owner. The Hitchcock
building and the Oates building were
the property of Mr. Oates alone.

Mr.. LeNoiT, who has charge of the
boys department f the Y. NJ. C. a,
submitted plan for raising the nee
essaFy funds The boys will be di
Yided into teams of seven each and
named after the teams in the National
baseball league. The manager of each
team will be given a small safety
bank and they will canvass the town
all next week, commencing Monday
morning. Each 25 cents raised Will
count for run and the team having
the most runs at the end of the week

teams and the managers:

equal confidence emanate today from
the johnson camp. The eolored man
says he will not be satisfied unless
he scores a knockout before the fight
has gone any great distance.
Local interest in the fight is of the
keenest character. It is almost the
sole topic of conversation today IN
the cafes and other places where
sporting men congregate. Thousands
have paid admission to see the TWO
fighters do their training stunts.
which, by the way, will add a tidy
sum to the $4,000 which will go TO
the winner and the $4,000 which rep
resents the short end of the purse.
The demand for tickets is unprece-
dented and will probably result in fan
cy prices being offered before tho
mill begins. The big stadium where
the fight takes places will accommo-
date thousands of spectators. Never
theless 1t will probably be filed to
oyerfowing. Large crowds of visitors
are already arriving from Melbourne
and from distant points to witness
the fight.

The measure also provides for an in
crease in the personnel Of the force, and
il was pointed out yesterday that in the

the bill on the ground that as it takes

CANAL MILITARY NECESSITY

waterway Must BE Guarded.

Col Cocktails. chairman OF the Panama
Canal Commission, told the Senate Com
mittee on Jnterocesnic Canals yesterday
that the building Of the canal was a mill
itary necessity He had been explaining
to the committee the reason for remOv-
ing the location Of the western locks
from Sosa to Mirafores, four miles far
Their back.
The chief consideration was a military
one" said the chairman LAS the locks
at Sosa were originally projected they
extended into the Pacific Ocean. The
lower lock OF the flight would have been
entirely In the ocean, and the upper one
would have been parIly so. Within four
miles of the location was a basin Of deep
water in which a fleet Of hostile ships
could have anchored and bombarded the
locks. destroying them easily"
Does the eight miles distance at which
you now propose to locate them afford
the necessary protection against the bonn
bardment of modern guns?" inquired Sen
ator Taliaferro.
7 believe il does" replied Col Goethals.
"A city might be successfully bombarded
at a distance Of eight miles. but I do
not believe a single object. like a canal
lock, could be. OF course. there are those
who do not agree with my view"
How far is the Gatun dam located
from the Pacific2"
1T is about seven miles from deem
water, and is. therefore. that distance
removed, I'm my opinion, from the dan
ger of a bOmbardment," was the reply.
Col. Cocktails said, also, that while he
had heSitated to say 50 before, II was
his opinion that the relocation OF the
line of the Panama Railroad was also
a military necessity. necessary as a
Of patrol and constant guard
over the canal. Il have no doubt" said
he, that after the canal is completed
a military garrison will be stationed at
either end of the canal constantly"
Is it possible to guard the locks of the
canal TO prevent dynamiting by a spy
from an enemy inquired Senator Bran
degee.
mo man could carry enough dynamite
on his person to do much damage" re-
piled Col. Goethals. I have no doubt
that precautions will be taken to prevent
the approach of any suspicious persons
near the locks An explosion Of q small
amount of dynamite would not do much
damage. The greatest danger would be
in the possibility Of destroying the sluice
gates and letting the water out of Gatun
Lake. But generally, I think, such
danger is minimized by the certainty
that the canal will be constantly under
military guard. and the Panama Railroad
will also guard it at all times

Dispatches received At the State De-

Haitian revolution is spreading from ths

The officials OF the State Department

The Navy Department has changed its

boat Paducah from New Orleans 10 Haiti
10 protect American interests. instead OF
sending the cruiser Des NIoineg. now AZ

The reason for this change was that
