There are some vicious and dan gerous people figuring on Phoenix as place to reside, if the letter which
 Marshal Moore received yesterday from Santa Cruz, California, can be relied upon. The letter is a hummer and appears to have been written by la woman who, however, did not dis close her identity. The marshal gets all kinds of and some most astound- ing missives from people who think he has nothing to do but listen to their inconsequential troubles, but this is the most defamatory received by him for some time. 1t runs about as follows, only the names are slight ly changed, for the people referred to in the letter may not be as bad as painted and some one may be merely satisfying an old grudge or trying to get even.
 It goes on to state that: T take the liberty of warning you against one z. T. Marsmer. his wife Annie 'sirable citizens in as much that he is Ia libertine and his son is a menace to little girls She is a hard wild NOllldll. 1Hey are desperate peO- ple, grasping, jealous and cnvious: will not hesitate to carry out their plans at the expense of anyone or anything. He is a dead shot, but is broken down by his eXcesses, has a vile temper and will resort to scan dalizing the women of a family if he can not rule his way. She has the vilest of tongues and is hater of her sex. They are all liars and thieves. He boasts of his ability to beat anyone in a cattle trade. They will not bear close scrutiny. Watch them and you will see for yourself" |" It is signed by "A Friend of Human ity." As an after-thought, giving the reason for the letter, this is penned: These Ia miserables are now or soon will be in your city looking for a To- cation to rule or ruin."
 The anonymous letter writer prob ably did not know anything more about these people so it was left to the imagination of the police de- partment. Strange, however, the per son failed to give any description which would lead to their identifica- tion. There are lots of people in the wide world who might fill the de- scriptiOn of that letter but the mar shal thinks he would have to go some to find them.

MINING EXHIBIT
 MAY BE REMOVED
The Boards of Trade of the Territory to Cooperate in Raising Funds.

If sufficient funds are raised the splendid mining exhibit belonging t0 the territory of Arizona will be ship ped to Albuquerque for display dur ing the irrigation congress. It will take from S750 to 5000 to remove pack and care for the exhibit from the time it leaves the mining building at the fair grounds until it is returned to that place after the congress closes. When R. F. Twitchell of the board of control of New Mexico was in this city that matter was brought up and pre- sented to the governor. As a result the following letter which is self-ex- planatory was yesterday received by Dr. Foss of the Phoenix Board of Trade:
 Dr. J. w. Foss,
 President Board of Trade.
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Sir: l am authorized by the terri torial board of control to say to you that it has decided to permit the ex- hibition at the National Irrigation Con- gress, which is to assemble at Albu- querque, New Mexico. on the 29th of September prOXimO. of the mineral ex- hibit now installed at the fair grounds at Phoenix.

COFFEE AND. TEA
 HOUSE 10 OPEN
Will Have an Equipment For Handling Finest Grades.

A big tea and coffee house is the latest new business on the tapis for Phoenix in the very near future if the plans of the parties now making ar rangment to open up are carried out as contemplated. The parties do not care to have their names made public at this time, but one is a local resi- dent and the other is from the east and they have had experience in this line previously.
 A location for the business is now being secured and will be titted up in modern style with latest equipment for handling teas and coffee of various brands from the fair grades to the best to be bought or imported. The equipment will include roasters, testers and other machinery
 One of the features of the firms methods of doing business according to one of the gentlemen of the firm. will be demonstrating days. During these days coffee or tea will be served free to the ladies and the quality of the different kinds will be shown. Tn addition to coffee and teas, spices and other lines that are usually carried in a store of that kind will be found in the stock. The firm will place a city salesman out and are confident of being able to establish a good trade in this special line to which they will devote their entire time, capital and energy. The firm will open up early in the fall according to present plans. Many towns of less population than Phoenix have supported one or more houses of this character.

ThE STATEHOOD PLANK
 MEANS WHAT II SAYS
A Former Ohio Politician Who Was at Chicago When 1t Was Put Into the Platforom.


 w. II. Chase of St. Louis. resident manager of the Murphy Varnish com pany there, was in the city yester- day. MT. Chase is deeply interested in the political situation, more espe- cially because he himself has taken an active part in politics. He was for some time a member of the Ohio state republican committee.
 Mir. Chase was at Chicago during the republican national convention and saw much of the inside of that gathering. Speaking of the statehood plank he said that was not inserted for political effect, for it could have none, but because the committee on resolutions had become convinced that the territories were entitled to statehood. MT. Chase furthermore be- lieves that the members of that com mittee, the leading members being members of congress, will carry out the wishes of the convention at the earliest possible moment and grant statehood to both territories.
 As to the outlook in the political heavens, Mir Chase, who has con ducted his survey from over a wide range of country. can see nothing but the election of Taft.

BOB EVANS GOES
ON RETIRED LIST
Rear Admiral Makes Plea For Big
Navy.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y. Especially -
Far from grim warships and the
sea, where he spent nearly half a
century in the service of his country.
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans, OF
the United States Navy, who is at
this quiet mountain hotel, reached
the age limit of 62 years Tuesday
and passed from the ranks of the
country's active sea fighters
All through the day the hotel was
thronged with admirers of Fighting
Bob as his hosts of friends delight
to call him, eager to congratulate
him on the sixty-second birthday
and to wish him many more happy
and useful years. kilograms by the
score reached him from all parts of
the country, all expressing felicita-
tion and affection for the man who
has done so much to build up the
American Navy.
Asked regarding the probable eff
feet of the cruise of the fleet around
the world, which he commanded
from Hampton Roads to San Fran
cisco, the first stage of the long
journey, the Admiral said that he
believed its influence was already be-
ing felt. That the cruise would add
more than mere prestige to the Uni
ted States as a world power the Ad-
miral asserted in no uncertain tone.
He said 1t was the greatest disap-
pointment of his life that he was un-
able to keep the command at least
until he could visit Japan. where he
has great many friends among the
statesmen of that country.
No Danger OF War.
Questioned in regard to the war
talk between the two countries, the
Admiral said that there never would
be any war unless the United States
forced it upon Japan. He said the
Japanese are sensitive people and
the greatest little fighters in the
world, and 1t is not wise policy
to annoy them too much.
The Admiral further said that
Japan's attitude toward China was
greatly misunderstood in this coun-
try; that 1t was not her desire to
colonize China. but that she merely
wanted to have hand in directing
her policies. He said the only in
terest the United States should have
In China was to maintain the "open
door" Further than that we can
not expect to gain anything, he de-
clared.

Adjust the Trouble With Venezuela
by Diplomacy.

The Hague Especially Hollands
action against Venezuela and the
text OF her note to President Castro
will depend largely upon the reports
M. De Reus, former Dutch minister
to Venezuela, who recently was ex-
PEELED by President Castro, makes
to the government. He is expected
to arrive here this week. NJ. Van
Swinderne, minister of foreign af-
fairs, will consult with M. De Reus
before the government takes further
steps in the matter. The ex-min-
ister's arrival is eagerly awaited
here.
The press and public OF the Meth
erlands take the Venezuelan affair
most calmly. Naval officers are most
interested in 1t, and express pleasure
at the possibility OF seeing active
service. The government, however,
thinks there is yet chance that
the difficulty may be patched up by
diplomacy.
A blockade OF the Venezuelan
coast, IL 1t Is undertaken. will not
be begun for sometime because the
adoption of punitive measures will
depend upon the tenor of President
Castro's reply to Hollands represen-

quite capable of acting and France

Utica, N. Y. (SpeciaD In one
of the briefest speeches ever deliver
ed by a candidate for SO high an
office, James Schoolcraft Sherman at
noon Tuesday accepted the nomina-
tion of the Republican party for the
Vice-P Presidency. lie spoke IRON q
fiag-decked stand erected in front OF
his home in Genessee Street and was
surrounded by party leaders from
different sections of the country and
by an enthusiastic non-partisan crowd
of friends and fellow-townsmen.
The nomination was rendered by
committee appointed at the Chi
cago Convention in June, Senator
julius c. Burrows, of Michigan, being
the chairman and spokesman. There
were brief addresses also by Secre
tary of State Root, by President NJ
w. Stryker of Hamilton College,
from which Mr.. Sherman was gradu-
ated, by Mayor Thomas Wheeler, OF
Utica, and by Charles S. Symonds,
chairman of the local reception COM
mittee.
Mr.. Sherman, in his address of
acceptance, followed the example of
Mr. Taft in pledglng the allegiance
of any Administration with which he
may have to do to the policies of
President Roosevelt. He declared
there was no issue as to whether or
not the people shall rule"
''Surely The People Rule"
Surely the people shall rule"
said Mr.. Sherman; surely the people
have ruled. surely the people do
rule"
The Republican Vice-Presidential
nominee asserted that the "overshad
owing issue of the campaign really is
Shall the Administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt be approved?'
Mr.. Sherman made no attempt to
discuss. in detail any of the issues
reised in the party platform, content
ing himself with the declaration that
he subscribed fully and heartily to
all that had been written into the
Chicago statement of principles and
to all that had been said by Mr.. Taft
in his speech accepting the Presiden-
tial nomination. He referred to the
Democratic party as IAN aggregation
of experimental malcontents and
theorists, whose only claim to history
is a party name they pilfered."
