FRANK PROCTOR TALKS
 OH CANANEA SITUATION
Says Definite Action In Regard to Opening Mines Will Be
 Taken Today.

TUCSON, Ariz., March I6.-Mr. and Mrs. Frank Proctor of Cananea- who are here at the Santa Rita for a week or ten days longer for the pur- pose of visiting with their many friends, have just returned from Hot Springs, Ark. where they went carry in the winter for the benefit of the rheumatic complaint from which NIT. Proctor has been a sufferer for a long time. His many friends will be glad to learn that he is helped greatly by the trip to the winter resort in the Arkansas hills and that he is going
 back home feeling much better than for long time.
 Speaking of conditions at Cananea.
 Mir. Proctor said: Although I have
 been away for several months l think that know about as well what
 is going on as those who have been on the ground all the time, for the reason that none of them have the slightest idea. However, there is to be meeting of the stockholders of the company at Duluth, Mfnn., next Tuesday, the I7th of the month, and at that time some policy will be de cided upon with reference to the open. ing cf the mines.
 Q Colonel Greene has been in Chi. huahua for some time and he has had 1 nothing to give out in regard to the workings at Cananea Tn fact, there
 has not been very much done directly in Cananea for some time, but there
 has been a good deal of work at the various tributary points about there There has been practically nothing
 in the way of production or develop
 ment but the energy of the work nas been expended in putting the proper
 ties and equipment in fine shape. OV
 CT 900 men are now employed there ] Whenever they do open up, and my i private opinion Is that that will oc cur at a not very distant date, the
 mines will be so we'll cared for as tc equipment that everything will DC
 running in full blast from the wort go. think that there is coming ! just ahead of us splendid era in cop per mining and Cananea will be right
 along with the bunch when 1t ar rfves."

d ENTS of fats are falling. People
II did not rush back from their sum-
mer vacations to crowd into dingy
homes as usual Vacant fats are
seen everywhere in the old centers.
Prices are down ten per cent. in many
sections.
Owners held their rentals firm this
fall. Although their vacancies during
the summer had been larger than in
any other year, they thought that the
rush back to town would fill their
houses.
But the October moving day startled
them. There was less moving than in
any of the last five yealG. And per-
sons who moved went away from the
old districts, as rule, to make their
homes in new buildings such as those
on Washington Heights.
Registration figures show that more
than 100000 persons have moved out
of Manhattan during the past two
years. Aside from this big shift,
$4,000 more have moved into the

About the Ball PLAYER,

What becomes of all the baseball
players after the season closes? Where
do these heroes of the diamond hiber-
nate? Do they go to their homes or
do they pass the winter months in the
cities in which their teams are?
There are thousands of players, and
many of them never are heard of after
the ball and bat are laid away It's
only the "stars" whose names get in
print between seasons These play
ers, who give the fans so much enter
tainment from April to October, I un-
derstand, come from all parts of the
country. Often they make a reputa-
ton in little country towns and vii
lagos, and are discovered" by big
league scouts and developed into stars.
When player is drought out" in the
big leagues and he does not make
good" at once he is sent to the minor
leagues for more "seasoning" Then
sometimes he comes back and fills
the bill satisfactorily. The baseball
business from humble beginning
has grown enormously, and the rivalry
is so keen that the clubs are forced
to invest hea3ly every year in new
material to keep the teams keyed up
for the pennant races.-New York

Next Mistress of the White House

earlier day in the White House no
thought entered the head of the young
girl guest that one day she would be
mistress of the mansion.
The new cares and social duties
which Mrs. Taft will have to take on
may tax her strength to the utmost,
but it is probably true that there could
not be found a woman better fitted for
the place than the wife of the next
president. She has individuality,
strength of character and an inde-
pendence of belief, added to a mind
of rare cultivation, the result of years
of study and travel. She has devoted
herself to the care of her home and
children and the seconding of her hus-
bands public career, and in the latter
capacity she has familiarized herself
with the great questions of the day.
So we'll equipped educationaliy is
Mrs. Taft that she will not only be
able to converse intelligently on sub
jects of public interest with her own
countrymen, but being linguist, she
will be able to discourse familiarly
with foreign statesmen and diplomats
in their own tongues. 1t is said that
Mrs. Taft has devoted part of each
day for years to the study of languages
and music, and in both has attained a
proficiency reached only by the few.

r THOUSANDS of the half million farm
/ ers, teachers, physicians, business
| men and others who were invited to
cooperate with the commission on
country life have already sent in re-
plies to the list of questions asked
them, although the ink is hardly dry
on the printed sheets rushed out to
them.
Tho members of the commission
which was appointed by President
Roosevelt to conduct this extensive in
quiry into the conditions of farm life
the country over, have problem Of
perhaps greater magnitude to work
out than ever came before similar

Of the inquiry one of great import
ance, but the breadth of it's scope is
such as to require the varied condi-
tions of the whole country to be taken
into account The amount of work
involved will hardly be realized by
the casual reader. The mere reading
of the letters which are flooding in
each day in answer to the questions
is difficult, though most interesting,
task, for the commissions incoming

her. 1t is true her influence was very
marked at all times, but she did not
participate actively in affairs, and
marked changes have occurred since
her reign ceased to be absolute.
Society is no longer unit. When
it was dominated by Mrs. Astor there
was perfect unanimity and harmony.
Now it is divided ipto many cliques,
and l do not believe any one person
will ever succeed in bringing these to-
gether again.
Mrs. Astor came by birth of old
knickerbocker stock. Before her mar
riage to the late William Astor, Sec
ond son of William B. Astor, and
grandson of the original John Jacob
Astor, she was Caroline Schermerhorn.
Her family name was among those
honored in the old New York and the
original Shermerhorn homestead was
in the borough of Brooklyn. 1t was in
1853 that Caroline Webster Schermer-
horn and William Astor were married.
The bridegroom was %. He died in
1898.

IN social circles there is much dis.
1 cussion these days of the question
Of Mrs. Astor's successor as society's s
leader. Among the names mentioned
are Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Clarence
Mackay and Mrs. Ogden Goelet All
of these matrons are leaders of their
especial coteries, and have taken prom.
tnent parts in social affairs here and
abroad. There is prevailing belief,
however, that the 400" of old has
ceased to exist as a unit, and that it
will henceforth be in many divisions,
with leaders for each.
Frederick Townsend Martin, sue
cessor to the late Ward McAllister as
leader Of New York society, said there
will be no successor to Mrs. Astor as
New York's society queen.
Il do not think there will be a sue
cessor to Mrs. Astor as the ruler of

Heavy Exodus Makes Flat Rents Fall

old crowded city home districts show
the entire two-year loss in flat-house
tenantry. Over 100000 immigrants
a year, or 100000 for the past two
years, would have sought homes in
New York If conditions had been like
those of the four preceding years.
Most of them would have crowded into
immigrant sections, thus causing an
overflow that would have driven older
residents from other neighborhoods.
But, instead of gaining 100000 immi-
grants a year. New York has lost
nearly 100000 immigrants since the
panic. They focked home. carrying
over $5O,OO0,O0O in savings.
From the immigrant movement
alone New York has 100000 less peo-
pie than would have been here if con-
ditions had been normal Nearly all
would have been crowded into the
older tenement districts, for immi.
grants are clannish, and keep to-
gether in spite of the higher rents
which they are forced to pay because
they do not spread out And the
movement of older families away from
congested centers, as is shown by the
registrations of schools and voters,
has taken another 100000.
This loss of 100000 persons Is the
direct cause of the mass of vacant
fats, because owners were calculating
on continuance of the crowded con-
ditiOnS and ranid growth which had
prevailed during the PRECEDING decade

GEORGE BURROUGHS TORREY,
~ the American portrait painter,
whose portrait of President Roosevelt
has become famous, has brought suit
against Mrs. John H. Hanan, the
beautiful society woman of New York
and Narragansett Pier, for $4,000, al
leging breach of contract
In speaking of the case, Mr.. Torrey
said.
more than year ago Mrs. Hanan
sat for me a number of times, then
seemed to lose interest in the matter.
Several months ago the portrait was
practically finished, but / could not
persuade Mrs. Hanan to sit again.
She was travelling a great deal,
and, while she seemed immensely
pleased with the painting, and all of
her friends who saw it were enthusi-
astic, it was impossible for me to get
her to come to my studio or to take
the painting as it was. The very fact
that she had posed so often, however,
constituted a contract.
Finally, had to place the matter
in the hands of my lawyer. / have
painted some of the best-known and
greatest people in the world, including
the queen of England, the king of
Greece, Andrew Carnegie, Purdon
Clarke and many others, and l con-
slider the portrait of Mrs. Hanan one
of the best l have ever done"

Men and women laughed when enor-

ears, when they were showered with
confetti, when ''ticklers" were thrust
into their faces, and even when hats
were broken and plumes were torn of.
The greatest crowds gathered in
front of the uptown newspaper Offices
where bulletins of the election were
flashed on gigantic screens. If there
was any noise-making device that was
not present on the street it was be-

Tin horns, old-fashioned police rat

just been mailed. Only comparative
ly few of the farmers and their fam
lilies could be reached in that way, and
hence the newspapers have been en-.
listed to bring the inquiry to the at
tention of the widest circle Of readers
it is possible to reach. The field COW
cred is so broad that it touches the
interest of every one familiar with
country-life conditions. This is shown
by the list of questions which are
being asked the people of the country.
Under each question an explanation
for the reason Of the condition is
asked, and suggestions as to what
should be done are invited. The pith
of the whole matter is contained in
the concluding question: What, in
your judgment, is the most important
single thing to be done for the gen.
eral betterment of country life?
The commission is anxious to hear
from everyone who is acquainted with
or interested in conditions surround
ing the farm, and letters will reach
their destination safely if simply ad
dressed to the Commission on Coun-
try Life, Washington, D. c. The ques-
tions may be replied to by number, or
any special phase of the subject dis
cussed.
The rich experience of men who
have spent their lives on the farm
should prove most helpful. and out of
it should come wide expression of
opinion and practical suggestions for
the consideration of the commission.
Never before in this country or any
other has such an opportunity been
offered to the farmers to present their
views and their needs, and the ulti
mate success of the inquiry will de-
pend in large measure on their CO.
operation.

THE nine hundred thousandth patent
l from the United States patent Of
flee has been issued, and to it was at
tached the name of Patent Commis-
sioner Moore.
The patent was an improvement on
travelling stairs, such as are used in
hotels and other large buildings, and
while Mr.. Moore ordinarily attaches
only his last name, with his initials,
he signalized the attainment of the
nine hundred thousandth by using his
full name Of Edward Bruce Moore.
In the early history of the nation
the law required that patents should
be signed by the president, and as the
first one was issued during the first
presidential administration it was
signed by President Washington. 1t
covered a device for making pearl
ashes, and the document itself is said
to be now owned by Chicago collec-
tor. Mr.. Moore estimates that the
one millionth patent will be reached in
the year 1911.
