TEN YEARS
FOR
WARD GOTT
PERMITTED TO PLEAD GUILTY
To MANsLAUGHTER AFTER
DOCTORS HAD DECLARED HIM
INSANE WHEN HE MURDEREI
DIR. DANzIGER.

In the criminal division OF the
courts OF Cincinnati, Robert Ward
Gott. formerly of Princeton. I'm this
county, was permitted to plead
guilty to a cnarge OF manslau ghter
for killing DR.. Leo Danziger, the
physidlan in attendance on Colts
niece.
This plea was entered by Thomas
Darby, attorne'i for Gott. after CON
sultation with Colts wife and
hqother and consideration by his
attorneys OF the chances OF Gott's q
conviction of a higher hegrae OF
murder IL he stood trial on the in
dictment.
The alienists who examined Gott
stated to the prosecuting attorney
that Gott was insane at the time OF
the shooting and would have so tes-
tilted AT the trial, and ia view OF
these facts the court and prosecut-
Ing attorney were willing TO accept
his confession and the court fixed
his punishment at ten years hard
labor in the penitentfary. Gott, no
doubt, preferred this to confinement
In a madhouse.
His family will return to Mercer
to make their home among their
friends. They have the entire sym
pathy of the public in this hour of
grief and humiliation.
Ward Gott appears as the black
sheep" in one OF the best families
OF this section.

Strikes Out Provision.

Public sentiment finally forced
the house to insert in the district
appropriation bill a provision that
no more than 75 cents should be
paid for gas furnished any public
institution. Il was believed this
would be the entering wedge. that
II would result ultimately In reduc-
ing the price OF gas TO private con-
sumers. The theory was that n the
gas companies Rccepyed the price
without protest they could not con
dstently collect 81 and S1.25 from
private consumers; that n they went
into court and the court declared as
crEts reasonable price everybody
would have 10 be fu-nisted gas al
rs cents. The prospect r"ck6 I at
tractive. but the senate struck ont
the provision for Ascent ga. al
most without a word Of comment.
u is that way with almost every
measure which comes up adversely
Affecting public service cOrporations.
The telephone service in washing
ton IS furnished by the same com
pany which operates in Baltimore
and Philadelphia. Rates arc ma
terially higher in Washington than
in either OF the other clii.,s. but
congress has been deaf 20 ne ltloos
that there should be an equltabls re-
adjustment.
Washington has magnificent
new union station. but the nearest
street car Is two blocks away. Leg
islauon providing for extension Of
the car tracks is held up because
the street railway managers object
TO a provision for universal trans
fers and to other provisions.

Did Not Mince Words.

Mr. Burkett did not mince words.
He told the senate that condition
existed which made Il impossible to
pass any street railway legislation
which had not first received the o.
X. OF the street railway managers.
and he dntimated very broadly that
the influence which the str et rail-
ways exerted was perniclous
or course there was high indig-
nation among some OF the other
senators aud members OF the lower
house, but the average resident of
the national capital believes Mr..
Burkett came pretty near to striking
the nail on the head. AS a matter
OF fact. IL would not have Violated
public opinion had Mr.. Burkett gone
farther and made his charge apply
TO all public service corporations,
especially the gas monopoly and the
telephone monopoly.
If thAre ever was a municipality
I'm the grasp of public service cor
poratlons. Washington would seem
to be it, Territory for the gas bus
iness is divided between two com
panies. both under practically the
same wonership and control The
people of Washington pay to the
larger corporation 81 per thousand
feet for gas and to the smallet cor
poration, which has for it's territory
old Georgetown and some of the SUI
burbs. $1.25 per thousand feet.
These prices are admittedly exces-
slye and the people have been max
ing a strenuous fight for cheaper
gas.

Republican from this section are enough to convince most of the slep- tical ones. yet there will always re- main those who have to be shown.
 'T do not believe that land is any too high here. I consider that any proposition which will pay for itself in three four or even five years is not half bad. That is exactly what can be done here in the Mesa section. We have a whole lot of land on our list at S125 per acre which is as good as any in the valley. which will produce cantaloupes at the rate of $lo0 net per acre each year. Don't take my word for this. but ask the farmers them selves: read their letters which were sent from here over rheir own sigma lures for your answer, We real es- tate men are often asked the question Why do you consider that you have a better proposition here as fruit country. than Southern California and l might add that that is one oi the easiest questions that we nave to answer. It is this way: In California
 they have to fight the smut and scale on their oranges which is becoming quite an item. when it comes to fig

the valley, The price paid was $262.50 per acre. which goes to show that land is not increasingfn value to those who arrive from the east and can ap- preciate the potentialities of the cli- mate. but to those who have been res idents of the valley for the past dozen years While the tract sold by Mir. ScheuIe is a desirable one from the fact that it is close in and has twenty five acres of Thompson Seedless grapes with other desirable Improve ments.
 James Miller Jr., secretary of the Arizona Land Company. when ques- toned yesterday concerning the sale. stated that while IT was not tine pol icy of the company to advertise its transactions. that the sale of the Schuele tract completed long line of sales which date back for two months. Miller continued: Tt is an old story to us residents of the valley. that land is on the increase and that it will double again within the next five years. However, that is fact Let me tell you why: Intensive farming is going to be the rule here in a. short time, the soil demands it, the climate demands it, irrigation demands 1t, and more than that, the government is go- ing to insist upon it. Intensive farm ing invariably means high priced land in an--irrgated country. One obsta- cle" he continued, which we real es- tate men have to contend with from men coming here from the east, is that our lands are too high already and ,l-.. T,n investment.

endued of God. God would not com mission us without enabling us. Born of Cod. we must be able to exercise divine power in doing Gods work. "Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me" That promise was not to the eleven alone. but to us and our children, even to all who are of God.
 To come back to the starting point; We know all of this. Do we. Do we know that the whole world lieth in the evil one? Do we know that are of God-born of God-heirs of God, com missioned of God, endued of God? "To him that knoeth and doeth not, to him it is sin" Paul says: We be- lieve, and therefore also we speak" If we believe. we will speak. and if we know we will do. That ill be the test as to whether these two fundamental facts. Of which I have preached, have gotten hold of us.

ate reference from that juXtaposition? Why. that we who are of God, have a duty towards the world lying in the evil one Is not that it? Suppose l should say, 'I am well and you are sick" or, "I am strong and you are weak" It would follow at once, would it not, as Paul puts it, that "The strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak?" The argument for the Cuban war was, in a word this: Cuba lay under the oppression of cruel Spain, but the United States are people powerful and enjoying the blessings of freedom. Cuba is our neighbor. therefore we barred our right arm for Cuba's freedom. If hat ar gument was sound, why not this also? The world lieth in the evil one, but we are people born of God. powerful. and enjoying the blessings of free. dom through the grace of Christ The world is our neighbor. Therefore, we should devote our strength to the worlds salvation. Is that sound req soning? I ask you to grant only that the oppression of sin is as terrible as was that of Spain and that We as Christ-born sons of God are as bles- sed as are the freebOrn citizens of the United States. Grant only that, and the same appreciation of facts that in spired US with desire to fight in Cuba should fire us with ambition to preach the gospel in China and in Arizona. What would be the result if We should see sin and salvation as God sees them, one as black as midnight and
 the other above the brightness Of the
 monday sun, if We should understand
 that there is nothing so terrible as sin and nothing so to be desired as salvation?
