MARINE BAND CASE.
Attorney Generals Decision May Cause
Change In Law.

Change In Law.
Members of the musical unions
throughout the country will be very
much disappointed at the decision of
Attorney General Bonaparte in the
Marine band case. The attorney gen
eral has decided that TIE band may
compete with private musical organi-
cations for contracts to play for other
than government functions and enter
tainInentS.
This question has long been a cause
OF contention between the musical
unions and the naval authorities The
Washington local union appealed to
President Roosevelt against the prac-
t1ce OF permitting the Marine band to
accept contracts in competition with
outside musicians. The president sub
mitted the question to the attorney
general with the result noted above.
The union claims that as the mem
bers Of the Marine band are enlisted
men OF the naval establishment they
cannot under the law accept employ
mont from private citizens The law
says navy bands shall not take private
contracts to play. music. Although
the Marine bands men are paid rs ma
rineS, draw rationS issued to marines
are under naval discipline and wear
the marine corps uniform, the attorney
general says they are not subject to
that law.
The legislative committee of the
American Federation of Labor will
probably make an effort to have CON
gresS change the law so that it will
meet the conditions as set forth in
the decision Of the attorney general or
else pass law which will specifically
prohibit the Marine band from compet-
ing with private citizens.

A RECORD BREAKER
Last Years Sales of Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh,
 Larger Than Ever.

The merits of Hyomei Che treatment that cures catarrh without stomach dosing), it's popularity and growth, are unique in the annals of medicine. So pronounced is the relief and cure fol-
 lowing the use of this treatment that i. has been publicly recommended by .eading druggists and physicians in nearly every state and town in the country with the result that last years sales were larger than ever
 The fact that Hyomei is so simple and complete. and that it cures by breathing medicated air and not talk ing drugs into the stomach. no doubt has helped to create this widespread and rapidly increasing army of friends.
 The way in which it has been sold by the Larson Drug O.. has undoubt- edly aided greatly its introduction in Phoenix They are such firm believ- CTS fin the power of Hyomei to cure all catarrhal troubles, that they urge peO- pie to use it with the understanding that the cost will be refunded to any one who is not benefited by the treat ment. You do not risk a cent in test ing the healing virtues of Hyomei, for they take all the risk of it's giving sat isfaction and leave you to be the judge.

Mir. COughlin is one of the members of a business institution widely known throughout New England as the North Adams Beef and Produce company. wholesale dealers in beef. pork and provisions. and all kinds of fruit ber- ries and produce. dealing especially in carload lots. He desires it to be known that the sole credit for his com ing to Arizona to look things over is due to J. H. Fleming, president of the Orange Growers Association of this valley. Learning of his presence and mission here Mir. Coughlin was found at the Hotel Adams last evening by a reporter only a few minutes before train time, and though pressed for time he consented to talk few min utes. He was found to be in a mental condition that might be described as 100 per cent enthusiasm over Arizona oranges.
 He said he had never met Mir. Elem ing until he arrived here I couple of days before but he has had business dealings with him for many years and has learned to accept anything Mir Fleming says as unimpeachably relia-
 
 one of the largest growers and ship pers of peaches in thef state of Geor- gia and MT. Coughlin has spread many carload of his fruit over New Eng land. About the first of December MT. Fleming wrote to him saying he would like to send him a carload of sweet Arizona oranges. IL was rather a surprise. for he had never met the Arizona orange and was not sure how 1t would wear on close acquaintance. He feared that he would have to chop the carload up into small orders here and there and perhaps get stuck on the deal. However. he had never been given a wrong steer by Mir Fleming and he wrote him to send the carload along. Just as he expected. he had hard work to dispose of the first order to his respective customers. but once the goods were delivered they went wild over the Arizona naveIs and from that time on the only trouble was to supply the trade and finally the sea-

son passed out and they were all gone
 entirely.
 Right there Mir. Coughlin decided to com. down here and see why it is a
 he wants when he has the money to
 pay for them. He thought there must be something wrong that needed fix
 ing. But when he got here and saw the limited product to date and real iZed that all the big markets ewere fighting for it, he clearly understood. And in the same moment he realized that this valley has in its soil and cli- mate and early product that takes the cream of the market. an orange re- source that in the near future will mean millions of dollars. He said that if he was out of business tomorrow and wanted to go into the fruit busi- ness. Phoenix would be his location.- More than that, he said that his pres ent business requires a large capital but that if he had $10,000 that he could divert from it today he would not hes itate to send it to MT Fleming and tell him to put it in orange land for him.
 All this is not wild enthusiasm re- sulting from the mere fact that the Arizona navel is the most tOothsome orange that ever slipped down a white mans throat, but is the result of two days ride through the valley and a study of conditions. The greatest reason for his faith is the reclamation project. The soil and climate has been here always out only with the opera tions of the government here, was the water supply permanently assured and that is the thing that removes entire ly the speculative feature from the

AN ORANGE MAN WHO
 KNOWS Tilt BUSINESS
He Came All the Way From Massa- chusetts to Sec the Wonderful Salt
 River Valley and is Glad He Did So.

W. c. Coughlin of North Adams, Mass. left last evening after spending two or three days in Phoenix, and he travels back to his New England home about as near hypnotized with the Salt river valley as a man can become without resorting to psychological in- fluences. He did not come to Phoenix with any idea of making this his home and he may never do so for he is pret- ty well located where he is, but he did come here for the sole purpose of fihd- ing out the facts in connection with the orange business and it did not take him long to appreciate the truth. Though he may never see Phoenix again he proposes to use his informa- tion for the betterment of his business. and if he ever makes a move from North Adams, Mass. his postoffice address will be Phoenix.

 ing California by six weeks in the
 market. and in quality Outranking Cal
 ifOrnia, Florida, Jamaica and all other
 foreign fruit that Mir Coughlin has
 handled this valley certainly has the
 pole in the race for success. and a long
 start toward the wire. He says that
 in ten years Phoenix will have at
 least three times the present popula-
 ton and that is far enough ahead to
 prophecy.
 An effort was made to interview Mr. COughlin in respect of other products here but his time was too limited. He was willing to believe almost anything in the way of possibilities and was greatly interested in hearing the re- suits of experience in the culture of other fruits and farm products. But respecting these he said he had noth- ing to say. They might be just as profitable as oranges but he came here solely to look up the orange business and had devoted himself to the work in hand. He was fully satisfied with that for it was in his line of business and he knew what he was talking about. He would leave the other things for other specialists. or take them up when he had more time. The orange business to one who knows it. speaks for itself when the listener Is on the ground to hear and the Salt river valley is over and above any other place on earth he ever heard about. for orange culture. He said the only thing the Phoenix growers have to fear is that the wise CalifOr- nia growers will slip over here and gobble up all the good things before the home people are thoroughly arous- ed to their opportunities.

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 12.-The Journal today prints an interview with former Secretary of the Treasury Shaw in which Mir. Shaw states that he would like to see J. P. Morgan president of the United States.
 "Of course that would be misunder- stood" continued MT. Shaw, but l tell you this: If he was president, he would give us an administration that would rank with the best in the his tory of our executives. Morgan is a big man. morally and mentally. If he were in the White House he would sink his own interests entirely and de- vote himself to the paramount ques- tions confronting the country. bringing to bear that calm. strong jtlgmBt that has made him such a power in the world of finance"
