BASEBALL CONFERENCE
ARRANGED FOR DOUGLAS
Representatives of Different
Cities Will Meet,

Recent correspondence between
Douglas and FL Paso baseball man
ayers has assured that there will be
a meeting Of from four to six pros
pecsive magnates of the prospective
cactus belt league at the Hotel Gads-
den in this city on April 5-the f1rst
Sunday in the approaching month.
Those who have already promised TO
teend are Bohlinger of FL Paso, Judge
Garlic OF Cananea, Sullinger of Tue
son, representatives of Bisbee, and
Yohe and Brown of the locals. With
five cities considering the availability
of the league, it Is desired that an
other city become interested, so that
a six-team league may be formed. At
present the scope of the league only
contemplates Saturday and Sunday
games.
Judge GARLIC has enthused over
the proposition and In a letter 10
Charles Brown, jr., assistant manager
Of the local team, says he will De
glad to take the matter up when he
comes here with his team on Sun
day. March 5.
This game is now the one that fans
are looking forward to with real m
terest. Enough enthusiasm was left
over from that immortal game of last
summer to insure the Cananeans a
big crowd when they come here

DEEP INTEREST IN
NEW YORK PRIMARIES
Contending Factions Are AK
iouS About Outcome.

NEW YORK, March 31.-New York
politicians, particularly the republican
leaders, are keenly interested in the
presidential primaries to be held
throughout the state today. at these
primaries delegates will be elected to
congressional district conventions,
each of which will elect two delegates
and two alternates to the national
convention. There win also be elect
ed at these primaries delegates to
assembly district conventions, each of
which will elect its quota of delegates
to the state convention to choose dele
gates-at-large to the national con-
vention and also a new state commit
tee.
AS viii be seen, the primaries VIII
have an important bearing on the con
troll of the republican state commit
tee. II has been reported frequently
of late that steps are under way to
retire Timothy L. Woodruff as chair
man of the republican state commit
tee and substitute harmony candi-
date who is neither an Odell or Roose-
welt man. Meanwhile Odell and his
faction are working night and day on
their plans to overthrow the Parsons
Roosevelt-Woodruff combination.

BELIEVED TO MEAN
EXTENSION OF ROAD
Southern Pacific Stores Large
Amount of Steel at Wilcox
Pearce-DougiaS Spur.

Tbirty4wo car loads OF steel rails
have been received and are being
stored by the Southern Pacific at
WILCOX and the people of that city
say that this great quantity of steel
is for the extension of the spur OF
the Southern Pacific from Pearce to
Douglas. The reason that it is stored
at WILCOX is that there was not .suff-
Gent room on side track at Pearce.
This is the report brought TO Douglas
by Judge w. G. Mcdonald Of this
eity, who has just returned from a
visit to WILCOX, AID who. being an old
railroad man and one greatly interest
ed In the welfare of this city. took in

He returned from his Wilcox trip
Yesterday and when asked for news,

that when the rails first came In and
before the quantity became known, 1t
was supposed taAt they were for the
building Of a proposed road from VIII
cox to the Johnson mining camp in
the Dragons, as such a road is pro
jecfed. Il was not only found later
that there is not SUFFICIENT business to
warrant such road, but that II the
proposed line should be built it would
be buiH as private enterprise. The
crest quantity of steel had already
,uzgested the projected extension Of
he Pesrce spur to Douglas. and when
Tsvs came Of q trafIlce agreement be-
tween che Southern Pacific and the
Nacozan railroad over che road from
Douglas to Nacozarj, the rumor seem
ed to gain credence. Tney say that
II such 2 traffic agreement has been
reached over the Nacozar road from
Douglas to the beginning OF It's new
line TO Gaaymas on the coast at Naco-
zari. it Is the most natural thing In the
world to expect 1t to get its own con

ARRANGES FOR BOOST

The executive committee Of the
Boosters club OF the Y. M. c. A.
today decided not to issue any print
ed invitations TO the forthcoming
"boost" on the eve of April Fooi's
day, believing that owing to the sue
cess of their former efforts, the ex-
cellence of the program that has been
arranged and the desire in the past
to receive invitations, that formal in
vitations, other than a verbal one,
would be unnecessary. One reason
for this is to carry out the Informant
ty of this particular boost" To be
sure the program Is one that would
look good on paper but the Boosters
think that having made good in the
past they need give no assurance
that they win again make good this

DIES MONIES PLAN
WILL BE ATTEMPTED
Election Yesterday for Elimi-
nation of Politics.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, March 81
The men who will govern Des Moines
during the next two years, under the
so-called commission form of govern
ment, are being voted for at today's
election. Des Moines is acknowledged
as the originator of rne commission
form Of government, as applied to
American cities, and the results of
her experience will be followed with
close attention throughout the coun-
try. That the people themselves are
alive to the importance of the occa-
sion was evidenced by the early vote
this morning, which was said to be
larger than ever before at an election
in this city.
The election today registers the fl
nal choice of the people in regard TO
candidates selected at the primary
two weeks ago. At the primary two
candidates were selected for mayor
and eight candidates were selected
for commissioners from list of forty
two that were voted for. The cleo
ton today win result in the final
choice of mayor and four commits
sioners.
The chief aim of the Des Moines
plan Is the elimination of politics
from the municipal government. So
far the working out of the plan has
been satisfactory. The recent pri-
mary was decidedly a peoples cleo
ton. Among the defeated candidates
for commissioner were many old poll
ticians who have held Office In Des
Moines for years. The highest vote
given any one candidate for commits
sioner was for John MacVicar. a for
mer mayor of the city and one Of the
founders Of the American Municipal
Reform society Old-time politicians,
including several former councilmen
and other ofiiceholders were showed
under at the primary.
The two mayoralty candidates be-
ing voted for today are A. J. Mathis,
/ the present police Judge. and Eugene
Waterbury, who is regarded as a
slate candidate. Mathis is a demo
crat and Waterbury republican II
the advocates Of the plan hold to the
rule Of politics and do not draw party
lines Mathis is believed to have the
best chance of winning.
OF the eight candidates for com
missioner four are independent, one
represents the labor element and the
other three are looked upon as can
didates of. the ring" Politicians pre-!
dict defeat for the slate members on
the ground that inasmuch as there
was a concentrated fight in the pri-
mary In behalf Of the slate members

Veqetable Ivory.

The plant yielding the vegetable
ivory is known to botanists as Ply
telephas macrocarpa. 1t is a native
of South America, found chiefly
along the Magdalena river, in Co.
lombia. 1t is a stemless, palmlike
plant, the top of which is crowned
with from twelve to twenty very
long leaves. The fruit consists of a
conglorrerated head in six or seven
sections, the whole being inclosed in
a woody covering, forming altogeth-
er globe as large as a mans head.
A single plant sometimes bears six
or eight Of these heads, each weigh
ing from twenty to twenty-five
pounds. When young they contain
a milklike fluid, which with age
hardens until it becomes valuable as
q substitute for real ivory.

The Chewers.

Tobacco isn't the only thing
chewed," said the cigar store man.
81 wish it was. In the far east
they chew the betel. They wrap the
mt in bit of leaf, and for season.
ing they add little lime. It's a
tart tasting chew, not bad, and 1t
has, like tobacco, soothing effect.
Coffee experts and dealers chew cof-
fee beans, and tea dealers chew tea.
Very exhilarating, both chews, but
ruinous to the nerves and digestion.
Jockeys and trainers chew oats, hay,
straw-anything horsy. Horse feed
makes a cheap and harmless chew.
In the spice trade the hands often
get the habit of chewing ginger or
cinnamon or a Glove, but spices are
bad for the teeth. Seamstresses
chew bits of thread, and athletes
chew gum"
