CORN STALK ONLY
SIXTEEN FEET HIGH

Webster CITY, Ia, Sept. 16.-Al-
though this season of the year al
ways brings forth numerous tall
est corn" stories, many of which
are imaginative. Webster City has
on exhibition a corn stalk which is
actual AMI veracious measurement
sixteen feet and 3 inches in length
This remarkable stalk is on exhibit
tion at a local bank. and in the
field from which 1t was cut there
are many other stalks nearly as
high. The highest ear on the stalk
is feet and inches above the
ground, and only giant could husk
it without using step ladder.
Practically the entire fed will have
to be cut before the corn can be
husked, as most of the ears are at
too great height to be reached by
the ordinary man.

FIGHT PROHIBITION

San Francisco, sept. 16.-Grow-
ers OF the festive grape in every
section of California have forms
protective organizat .ons to fight
the prohibition movement which is
now sweeping over the country an
will hold a directors meeting today
at which final plans for the anti-we
crusade will be decided upon.
An ass assment of % cents per
acre will be levied upon all grape
growers in the association in order
to secure funds for carrying on the
educational campaign inaugurate
by the association TO counteract the
influence OF the prohibition move
ment and educate the American
people TO the proper use of wine
at meals.
Vineyardists and wine men de-
clare that the general use OF wine
would wipe out the evil of intern
perance and that the grape grow
ers the true friends OF temperance
The organization has now sprea /
to every part of the state where
grapes are extensively grown and Il
will probably make its influence felt
throughout the United States.

"HUMAN HEARTS"

Facts are stranger than fiction.
All plays depend more less on facts
for Their plots. or course, at times.
authors are prone to carry the linn
!ts of dramatic license almost to the
point where realities of their plots
are submerged in the figments OF
their all too vivid imaglnat .ons.
Human Hearts" is a notable ex-
ception, and fully illustrates how
much interesting dramatic mater.a
may be gathered by an author, bas-
ed on the actual happenings OF life.
The story OF Human Hearts" Is
almost true in every detail. The In
cidents that form the plot are well
known, and still food for gossip In
the community where they happen
ed. The author OF the play me.
the original Tom Logan, several
years ago, and heard the story from
his own lips. Becoming deeply in
terested, he journeyed to Logan's
home, where he met most OF the
characters who round out the cast
of his play. when he asked the per-
mission to dramatise the story, IL
was readily granted on condition
that he would change the names OF
the characters so that they would
not be recognized by anyone not IA
miliar with the story. He readily
agreed TO this. and the result has
been play that has had vivid
interest for more lovers of all that
is good and true in melodrama than
an other dramatic composition OF
the last decade.
Human Hearts" will be shown
at the Elks opera House on Friday
night.

Chicago. Sept. 16.-That the big
Chicago man order houses were
hard hit by the recent hard times

Sears, Roebuck & Company. the
largest concern of it's kind in the

lars from the preceding year, and
there was a falling of of almost
20 per cent. in net sales. A home
Industry crusade has been carried
on by local newspapers ghout
THE central west during the last
year or two. and II is possible that
this movement, as well as the hard
times, may have had It's influence
upon the mail trade.
The report shows that the CON-
pany's net sales amounted to s4O,-
S43.S66. or s9.s7S,s73 less than
those of the previous year, while
dividends received from investments
involved $S9.6S6, or $1S.SS2 more
than those recorded for thu proceed
ing year, making a total net income
OF s40.933.552. or s9,S60,091 less
than that for the fiscal year ended

probation charges involved $3S,-

Gus year. leaving net profits of So

RECORD Or SPENCER
 Tilt CHINESE LINGUIST
Late Visitor of Phoenix Had Seen the Inside Of San Quentin.

Immigration Inspector John J. Mur- Iphy of Tucson arrived in town yester- ! day accompanied by O. J. Weibe, Japanese interpreter. It is supposed ! they came here to look into the case of the three Japanese women and three women who were arrested by the police a few days ago, but if so, their l errand was without result since the objectionable Orientals left town the night before. These Japanese had for some time been under the surveillance of the immigration office, but the evi- dence necessary to warrant their de- portation was lacking. The character of the women and the relation of the men to them had not been fully estab- ished until the arrests were made by the police.
 There was another matter that en- gagged the attention of MT. Murphy. That was the record here of the man who called himself CameROn and said that he was a Chinese interpreter at the port of New York, though his tour in the west was one of rest and recre- ation While here he pretended to be interested in mines and one night real estate agent to whom he applied for information was induced by him to call Thomas Bavle up at midnight to arrange for a trip to his mine early this morning That was the end of that negotiation.
 Just before his departure from the city he tried to instigate raid by the city and county officials on Chinatown, claiming to have discovered that gamb
 ling and other prohibited amusements were practiced in the underground gal leries of that quarter. IL turned out that Cameron had tried to borrow mon ey of the Chinese whose acquaintance he began to cultivate immediately upon his coming to town.
 Inspector Murphy says that Gamer on is now at Tucson and that his right name is Spencer. He has served two terms at san Quentin, one for forgery and the other for impersonating an officer and eXtortiOn. The inspector wanted to learn whether he pretended while here to be an officer of the immi- grafton service.
 While Spencer was here he saw and talked with pearly every official in the city. He was a glib and rapid talker and left an impression that he was an immigration inspector. though on re- flection no one can be found to say that he had said he was.
 once after talking to Marshal Moore for half an hour, when the marshal had understood that he was an inspector and addressed him as such, Spencer
Arizona republican., 1908-09-18

corrected him, saying that was only an interpreter. He had probably learn ed something at san Quentin.
