that there was received from all
sources tor school purposes, during
the year beginning July l. 1907, and

also shown that there was expended

time, S70,245.30. That at first glance
looks like a good job of spreading the

tendent of the Territorial Hospital

DR.. Ketcherside will be succeeded as
physician of the territorial prison by
DIR H. Clymer of Yuma and for Il long
zine practitioner of Phoenix.
The resignation of DR.. Ferguson,
the retiring superintendent OF the
ayslum, was received with regret, for
under his management many reforms
were made in that institution, and it
has been in every way modernized.
DIR. Fere usOn corid not bc induced to

a more lucrative practice of his pre-
fession.
The administration i assured that

clan for several years are regarded
as a guaranty of the efficiency with
which he will manage the affairs OF

The Sunday afternoon tournament
opened with Crittenden at the plate
facing Baroldy, who had not expected
to pitch and was as a consequence
not in shape to put up his usual good
game. Crittenden lined one to
Ward, who threw him out easily.
Quick got first on an error of Quill
ling, made third on errors, but was
caught at the plate by good field of
a hot one from O'Brien to Barclay to
Ward to Harrigan. Weisel got first
on Brooks error, advanced to third
on O'Brien's hit and scOr d on an
other error by Brock. O'Brien died at
third and Harmon at Ist on McClellan's
long fly to left which Williams
negotiated beautifully. Flo Clifton,
Williams lined one to third and was
thrown out, Longwell struck out and
Mason tried to hit one through Quick.
but was unsuccessful. In the second,
Ritter walked, stole second, got
felder's choice to third and scored on
an overthrow to first by short. Han
naford,. Brubaker and Quick struck
out, the latter after Cri,tenden had
reached third. Quilting struck out,
O'Malley got clean hit, advanced
on a passed ball and an error and
stole a score while Ward was keep
ing the ball in action between first
and second. This was about the
most brilliant ball playing of the
afternoon, and had Clifton been able
to keep up the p-ce, would have
made the score look different, but in
the fifth after the game had been
called for a half hour on account of
rain, the Clifton boys went to pieces
and Morenci scored four and again
in the ninth when they scored five
on four hits. This game gives Mo-
renCi little the best of. it, making
the seasons games stand 60 in favor
of Morenci, and they have issued the
def to the effect that Clifton can
take no more games from them this
season. The Clifton team is willing
to be shown at any time, aud it is
safe to say that the end of the season
will see the Clifton boys at the head
of the lis. as usual. The following is

TUCSON WINS BUT ONE.
The CIiftOn-MOrenci Boys Show Them
How il is Done.

On Friday last the management of
the Clifton base ball team received a
telegram from the manager of the
Tucson team stating that the Tucson
team would be unable to come before
Saturday night, so immediate ar
rangements were made with Morenci
so that Clifton fans might not be en-
tirely disappointed, and Tucson was
wired not to come. At the last
moment they found that the A. & N.
NJ. would hold the train at Lordsburg,
so they got together nine players and
came on, leaving four TO follow the
next day. On account of washouts
on the A. & N. M. the balance of the
team failed to get here, so on Satur-
day afternoon Clifton played the
team as they came, with Pique in the
box and Harrigau to stop the balls.
The following is the score:

The germ of intrigue in politics
has come, to a certain extent, to be
looked upon as necessary evil. One
for which innumerable remedies have
been suggested, but for the extermi
nation of which no Roadway has been
made. Man, TO gain his ambition,
the highest pinnacle of fame to
which he aspires, will sacrifice wealth
honor, self-respect and loss of friends
to accomplish that upon which his
heart is set. Such a man is William
Randolph Hearst. Surrounded from
desire granted, the petted idol of
fond and indufgent parents, he has
aspired, and is aspiring persistently
still to occupy the highest office in
the gift of the American people
And that too, in ways which might
be called questionable. Meeting
with rank failure in years past it is
now foregone conclusion that his
new political ship, the independence
party, will never be launched. He is

method in keeping with his yellow
journal policies, and never being
denied thing in his life, he evident
ly is cherishing the fond hope that
this year his one ambition will be
realized. The occupancy of the
presidential chair is within the gift
of the people alone and their votes
are not to be bought by money nor
persihage. His aspiration has al
ready been nipped in the bud so far
as the present campaign is concerned
but without doubt four years hence
he will again bob up serenely-for
like Banquo's ghost che will not
down." What the American people
are clamoring for is clean politics
aud the elimination OF politics of the
Hearst order will do much to bring
about the desired end. With no
party Affiliations he is merely a free
booter trying to create dissension
and strife whenever he sees an open
ing. The sooner he sees the futility
of his endeavors and gives up the
race for good, the better off will be
the political parties and the people
in general.

In an eudeavor to give the people
of Clifton as good an exhibition of
ball as possible when they learned
that the battery for Tucson would be
unable to get here, the Clifton man
agement arranged to loan some of
our team to Tucson when they met
Morenci Sunday morning, and also
arranged a double-header for the
afternoon. 1t appears that in so do
ing, they undertook little too much
for our boys, as they were pretty well
''all in" before the finish. The Sun
day morning game was surprise to
all, for Tucson stepped in in the ninth
and took the honors from Morenci
defeating them Cd. The following,

did all they could. In looking over
the scores it will be seen that the
general result was Il queer miX-up.
Clifton beat Tucson two games, Tue
son beat Morenci, and then MOrenci
beat Clifton. To great extent, the
uneven score between Clifton and Mo
renci may be laid to the unmerciful
"guving" by certain element in the
grand stand of the Clifton boys in
particular. Also there was a great
deal of comment address to the UNI
pii IS, some of which burdered on hood
lumi,m. The task of umpiring "A ball

and it is especially difficult when per

possible for two persons to see alike,

the pitcher and catcher to know
whether a ball delivered, especially d

to use his best efforts to know this,
and his decisions should be accepted
by all true sports without unkind
comments when it is apparent that
he is doing his best to lie fair to all

in the southwest, and should receive

forgotten and the good of the team
considered. Here's hoping that all
will join in the support of our home
team in all future series, and that
the united effort will result in placing
our team at the head.

After this game Harmon became
so lame from a sprained ankle that
he had to be assisted from the
grounds, and he will probably be laid
up for few days, as he sprained the
ankle in the morning game and then
played with it in the afternoon.
The last game of the day was in
many respects the best game of the
series, being more free from errors
and, although the boys were pretty
we'll all in, they played ball from
start to finish. 1t was agreed at the
start that only seven innings would
be played on account of the lateness
of the hour. Godfrey opened the
game with d liner to first which
Mason gobbled and got the bag in

Claims Mother Made Her Marry Uncle

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. Pa
new turn has been taken in the liti-
cation over the estate of the late Ben
Davies. Mrs. Leila Whitlow, daughter
Of the deceased, has filed q complaint in
Intervention to compel an accounting
in the estate by the administrator, N.
A. Richardson, her brother-in-law,
whom she charges as standing in with
the widow of Davies to defraud Mrs.
Whitlow out of her share of the estate
which amounts close to $4,000, includ-
ing the famous stallion Zalock and sew
eral other valuable trotting horses, all
of which Mrs. Davies claims as her in
dividual property.
1t is strange story that Mrs. Whit
low alleges is at the bottom of this
condition. When she was but a slip
of a girl she alleges that her mother,
Mrs. Davies, induced her to marry her
own uncle, brother to her mother.
She recently left Whitlow and secured
an annulment of the marriage in op-
position to the wishes of her mother,
and because of this Mrs. Whitlow al
leges that her mother Is seeking to
defraud her of her share of the es-
tate of her father. The case promises
to be bitter fight.

SUGGEST OFFICE
IN EACH WARD
THINKS cOUNClLMEN SHOULD
HAVE HEADQUARTERS
LYON Favors Ten Wards and Fifteen
Lawmakers-Had So Reported
to Charter Re.
visionists

The charter revision commission has
asked the councilmen to send In sug-
gestions concerning proposed amend
ments to the charter.
One of the first to respond was Coun-
Gilman Henry Lyon of the Seventh
ward. He favors ten councilmen elect
ed from as many wards, five council
men-at- large, a ward office in each
ward where each councilman could re-
ceive complaints and suggestions from
residents in his bailiwick. He thinks
the board of public works should be
made up of five of the councilmen,
three of them from those elected at
large. Finally he favors city pur-
chasing agent and storeroom.
81 favor a council of fifteen MEM
bers," said Mr.. Lyon. "My reason for
this is that in the case of ward coun-
cilmen it gives assurance of speedy
and efficient transaction of the minor
public business, such as placing street
lights, repairing streets, new cross
walks and pushing forward needed i'm
provements.
Under the present system a resident
calls on his councilman when some
street is in need of cross walk or
repairing the councilman gets busy
and keeps after the street department.
The councilman from any ward is in
closer touch with the affairs and local
needs than some man from a distant
portion. And to prevent the prepon-
derance of power from any political
subdivision over any other there should
be five councilmen elected at large.
Better results would be the reward with
ten wards, as the city is fast spread
ing out in all directions.
1.-The councilmen from each ward
should have his office in the ward he
represents, This would greatly assist
the residents of the district which he
represents in saving time and waiting
around the city hail. Each councilman
should have clerk, so that someone
would be on hand at all times to re-
ceive complaints. 1t would be the
headquarters for all ward laborers.
1.-The councilmen should hold office
for the term of three years."
