CHAM bt[A|N GROUP NAY TRANSFER
 OWNERSHIP
Properties Have Suffered Long Checkered
 Career

TUCSON, Nov. %. A report s eur rent that the Chamberlain group Of copper mines, in the Casa Grnndc dis. trict. santa Rosa Mountains. is about to either change ownership or be worked on a large scale.
 These claims were located about 2j years ago and of and on, have been worked ever since. Al once time a shelter was in operation on the prop crty. but the owners lacked the needed capital Co make the project success.
 Abou, 1000 fct of work nas been done on the different claims and at least S25,000 worth of ore has been either worked on the ground or sent to custom smelters. The ore bodies are large and it is said that an average of per cent is considered . conserva. tive estimate of the value of the ore mined.
 Originally these mines were located and worked for silver, but as depth was reached their copper charactcris' ties became the more and more appar. ent till finally it became the predomi' mating metal. Groupings of lime. gar. nc, and iron show width in depth of 300 or more feet.
 The group is owned by Mr. George W. House of Denver. who for the past six or seven years has made his home on the property and expects to contin. ue it there so long as it remains under hi, control.
 Under bond given to Los Angeles people the property was pretty badly 'guttcd' and debts had accumulated under their management. On the cX- piratiun of the bond Mr. James Crow ley wa- appointed superintendent. He attached the last shipment of ore, then lt the Fl Paso smoltcrs. and with the proceeds he paid on the indebtedness and uscd any remaining funds to again put the property in working shape. While this ~nii bond was pending Senator !. r. Jones of Nevada twice offered the sum of s3O000O. but the parties holding the bond refused to accept the offer unless they were al | it, and to this the senator would not agree. Commencing with the new year systematic development work. undeI the superintendance of Mir. Crowley will be started.
 The Chamberlain group and Copper Queen group. of which mention was made yesterday. are near neighbor' and will be handled and sold under one management. The combined ! groups cover 22 claims, or about 440 acres of mineral zone, and in the hands of company will make a prop crty of great value. Al this time the deepest shaft is hut ls0 feet. much of the present development work having | the ore bodies

Punishment of Two HazsrS
country.

Senator Johnston is endeavoring to have William T. Rossell, Jr., and Harry c. Weaver reinstated as cadets in the United States Military academy at West Point. They were dismissed be- cause they were leaders in the hazing of class of new cadets. It has not been claimed that they were brutal, and the worst charge recorded against them consisted in requiring the plebes to catch ants.
 Senator Johnston, in discussing his bill, did not for a moment defend 1laz- ing. He claimed that dismissal was a harsh punishment for a small offense. No one was hurt by the acts of the dis missed men. Because their punish ment was excessive he had introduced a bill to reinstate them.
 Senator Johnston did say that haz- ing in some form goes on everywhere in this world. New Senators are hazed. True, it is a very respectable, decent kind of hazing, and all submit ted to it hoping to remain in the Sen. ate long enough to become hazers in. stead of the hazed
 Sanafnr Tnhn .l | twice by it's title and was then referred to the committee on military affairs. Discipline is important and hazing is : unlawful, but these things can be at ; tended to without doing injustice to two young men whose previous con, duct has been excellent. Senator John ston's bill should become law.

A Well Deserved Honor.

The new dorinitory of the Alabama Normal college, Livingston, Ala, now approaching completion, has been named Jones Hall in honor of Captain N. A. C. Jones, former president of the board of tiustees," said a friend Of the institu- ton The giving of this name is but slight acknowledgement Of the great services rendered by Captain Jones to the college, to the town, and to the state in the cause of education. The present prosperity of the college is largely due to the earnest interest and untiring la hers of Captain Jones.
 "Itis a fact worthy of record that more than twenty years ago Captain Jones en- deavored to induce t / legislature of Ala bama to pass uniform textbook bill similar to the ones which has since revo- lutionized the public schools of Alabama. Captain Jones was so far in advance of his contemporaries in foresight and wis oom that his bill could not be passed al that time"

Festival Next Nav,

A floral parade in connection with the music festival to be held here next May has been suggested, and hope the sug- gestion will be carried out said mem- Der of the Commercial club.
 "A floral pageant such as that which the Confederate reunion visitors were treated to last June should be one of our annual attractions, and it would certain ly be fitting to have something of the l.ind on the opening day of the music fes- tival.
 With the single exception of Los An geles, no city can come up to Birming- ham in the matter of flower carnivals. The two Or three that have been seen have been beautiful, all of them; but the last was on an exceptionally magnfi- cent scale, and was a great revelation to the multitude.
 "The muse festival will have it's open ing concert on the night of May B. There will be a free entertainment exclusively for school children in the morning of that day and .i floral parade in the afternoon would be appreciated by the visitors. By the way, the forthcoming music festival will be thoroughly advertised and worked up. and the out-of-town crowds trat will attend will likely be as large as the State Fair crowds. And if we can advertise a. floral parade in addition the visitors will be all the more numer- ous."

Wants a Lemon Soda.

The man from the baekwoods who knows but little regarding the drinks served at a soda fountain has been much in evidence in Birmingham during the past few days" declared Daniel Gunter He enters the store. then walks to the soda fountain with a puzzled air about him. Then it is that the jerker' must assume an attentive air, for it takes the stranger at least three minutes to de- eide on what he wishes. This attentive pose is one of the dispensers arts and requires years of practice for a proper portrayal The right foot is placed slight ly in front of the left, the left hand rests upon a glass, the face must be pushed forward with an expression of ex- pectancy upon it. while the last and most important feature is that the right hand must rest upon the lemon syrup bottle or faucet. The man from wayback all ways wants lemon soda water"

The United States Steel.

Under the caption of Reasonable Com bination, the Wall Street Journal, which ranks high for editorial ability, conserva- ltism and ethical tone, says:
 ''If all our captains of industry had possessed in the past the tact and sound sense of Judge Gary of the United States Steel corporation, good deal of public distrust to say nothing of hostile leg islationA would have been avoided. It will not be forgotten how Judge Gary brought a number of capitalists to sense of good manners and an appreciation of the power of public opinion when they were trying to hold the President of this republic responsible for stock market losses, in part at least due to their own defiance of the law and reckless misuse of the powers which their trusteeships gave.
 Judge Gary is on sound ground when he urges the righteousness and propriety of the manufacturers of steel cooperating to maintain a stable and trustworthy market for their product. This is no combination in restraint of trade. It confers a benefit upon the consumers and the producer. lhe capieaie'S' 'ho workmen and the public alike are bene- fited. Violent fluctuations in the price of a commodity entering so largely into our national life and progress as steel injure everybody. Under our modern methods of production 1t must be mar keted by combination, and cannot be marketed under the old wasteful methods of cut-throat competition without carry ing disturbance and disaster into the business of every consumer of steel
 Judge Gary has not been afraid to agree with the President of the United States at time when some of his asso, ciates in business were reviling MT. Roosevelt, and it will be seen that his theory of marketing the steel product by orderly combination duplicates an i'm portant part of the last Presidential mes

JUDGE JOHN 1. AOlEN, GRAND
 SIRE OF ODD FELLOWS, IS DEAD

Nashville, December 14.-Judge John L. Nolen, grand sire of the sovereign grand lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, died at a local hospital tonight at 11:S0 o'clock. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, following a surgical operation for gall stones. Judge Nolen was operated on early last week and until this afternoon was thought to be pro- gressing satisfactory toward recovery. Shortly after noon, however, he began to sink rapidly. Judge Nolen was 55 years old in June last, and had practiced the profession of law here for 30 years. He was a native of Nolensville, Williamson county, Tenne ssee As citizen and as a lawyer ne stood in the first rank, and had for many years been prominent in Odd Fellow circles On September 22 last, at the convention, he was elected grand sire of the order, and upon his return home was accorded magnificent recep- tion. Judge Nolen leaves widow, four sons and a daughter. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been announced.

DIVORCE MUSIC.
m the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 A distinguished musician of the me- tropolis advances the theory that diyorces are caused in many instances by music or the want of music. By the same req soning others might reach the conclusion that many divorces could be readjusted by the absence of music, or with music as a pacifier
 As to music being cause for divorce it will be readily agreed to by thousands, who, although they have no intention of seeking escape through the courts, never theless feel that they would be justified in doing so and would bring music in as kind of correspondent. Take the case of that dear little blue-eyed woman who works for husband, children and home all day, and then in the evening, when tired of everything but rest, has to hear her big husband repeat on the trombone for several hours his scanty repertoire, "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" and "Then You'll Remember Me- She could avoid divorce-by suicide. But no. She is faithful loving wife, She listens and thinks of her girlhood days. But they all don't listen. Some are handy with throwing dishes. In these houses the discord is even greater. Men, too have to endure Wagner played badly and "Lu- cia' sung worse, when they prefer Bud weiser's a Friend of Mine" But they know they would have to pay heavy ali- mony under the circumstances, and con- sder the children instead.
 That many marriage entanglements ha no eli erly employed will be accepted as a fact by many enthusiasts. Of course, all mu- sical comedy would have to be eliminat- cd in any, reconciliation in which the wife had Suspected chorus girl. Sup pose, however, a disgruntled wife should chortle to the ex-paymaster of tue house. hold My Honey Boy'?
 We really believe that Boni and Helie could be brought into harmonious juxta- position if the entente were brought about behind the scenes and the orchestra played the ballet music from Sylvia"

NEGROES DISCUSS
 TUBERCULOSIS

Tuskegee December 1.-The National Negro Anti-Tubereulosis congress opened here today with a programme including addresses by speakers from many south ern cities and a special exhibit on the effects of tuberculosis in charge of rep resentatives of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber- culosis. Reports received show that Health Sunday was observed yester- day by negro Young Mems Christian as- soeiations and that many negro churches will unite in observing this week as Health Week.
 The purpose of the congress is to dis cuss means for combating tuberculosis, which has come to be a serious menace to the negro race. The congress will outline a plan for waging a systematic warfare against. tuberculosis, to be pros ecuted by all types of negro societies throughout the United States

cast 54.737 votes; in 1898 their vote for governor was 52.164; in 1900 they gave Mckinley 55.512 votes; in 1892 for governor they cast 24,421 votes; in 1904 their vote was 22,472, and in 1908 their vote was 26.2sS. A growth of that nature will never revolutionize a state. IL is too slow to reyolutionize anything. It is growth that simply keeps step with the increase in popula- tion, and does not get beyond it. MT. Bryan's vote in this state last month was 74,374 as against 62,771 cast two years ago for MT Conner
 The full and complete figures of the popular vote will soon be presented and then it will be seen that the minor parties are losing ground and that the country is to remain in the hands of two large parties. This has been the situation since Jeffersons day, and there are no indications that any change in that respect will be ush- cred in.
