raise necessary capital to prosecute
the business in England, which re-
quired about $4,000, 900. He said that
$3O, ,OOO, 900 was raised by members
of a syndicate, who took common
stock of the Consolidated Tobacco
Company at par without any bonue.
Regarding the merger in 1904 of the
American Tobacco Company, the Con-
tinental Tobacco Company and the
Consolidated Tobacco Company, be
said, it was effected to bring the tre-
mendous amount of different classes
of securities of the three companies
into one compay so as to make them
more attractive to investors.
Mr.. Ryan said he was not a stock
holder of either the Imperial or the
and had no interest in either He said
there was no intention of keeping
secret any contracts between the COM
panies which was entered into. The
whole matter was purely a business
DEAL he said, and did not tend to-
ward restraint Of trade so far as he
knew. He said the foundation of the
contracts whereby the Imperial To-
bacco Company was to take over the
interests of the American Tobacco
! Company in England was laid at a
conference he had with James B. Duke
and William w. Fuller, in England,
in 1867. The actual drawing up OF
the contracts, he said, was left with
Mr.. Duke and Mr.. Fuller.
| He denied that the contracts con-
tanned any stipulation restricting the
Imperial Company's purchase of to-
bacco in the United States.
, After Mr. Ryans testimony was
+ finished William r. Duke, brother of
! James B Duke, president of the Am
erican Tobacco Company, testified
that he sold out the business to w
Duke Sons and Company in 1908 be-
cause Of his fathers advanced years,
and because the business had grown
| unwieldly. There was no intention to
create a monopoly, Mr.. Duke declar-
ed. at the time of the formation Of
the American Tobacco Company. The
testimony of w. w. Fuller, the chief
counsel of the American Tobacco
Company. practically concluded the
case for the defense It was concern
ing details of the company's reorgan-
ization. Adjournment was taken until
tomorrow.

This is the season of the year
when property owners, and the
city council in particular, should
see the wisdom of cutting the
weeds along the streets and pre-
misses about town. They are the
most unsightly thing that a town
has to contend with and there
is nothing that otherwise spoils
the appearance of our beautiful
little city. 1t is high time every
bydy was getting busy before
the weeds 20 to seed.

Twelve Thousand Canadian Paolh,
Mechanics Quit Work.


Winnipeg, Man, Aug. e.-Trads

workmen quit work Wednesday, and
all shops. big and little. on this great

1t is estimated that 10000 men

thousand men left work between Fort

The enormous primary vote for
governor, and the fact that Mr..
Johnson leads Mr.. Twichell by
some $4,000 votes, ought to make
republicans realize that there is
a call for a democratic execution
this fall. Johnson's majority
over Twichell exceeds the entire
democratic vote. No detection
in republican ranks should exist,
but if it does, it can hardly be
assumed that Gov. Burke will
more than divide the votes of
Twichell- and that would not

THE CONGO
 QUESTION Is Brought Very Close to
 Phoenix
ElOpement of Ball Player of That Name With Wife of Policeman Leach.

w. F. Congo, a well known baseball
 player of Phoenix and Mrs. Leach,
 wife of former Policeman Jesse Leach, are under arrest at Yuma, charged with a violation O. the Edmunds act. The
 warrant for their arrest was issued at the direction of United States Attor- ney Alexander at the instance of MT. Leach It is stated also that Mrs. Leach is liable to a far more serious charge, that of bigamy, for she and Congo were married at Yuma few days ago. One of the witnesses of the marriage was Mrs. Matte Byler, for
 merly Of this city but who was not aware Of the previous married rela- tion of Mrs. Leach.
 Congo, who had been playing in a minor league in West Virginia, came
 to Phoenix last fall. He had been em- ployed sometime previously about
 Congress and in the northern part of the territorv Several weeks ago he found himself in all health ana out of money. Policeman Leach. who had in some way formed his acquaintance, took him to his home to be cared for. There the criminal attachment was be- gun, but nothing occurred in the pres ence of the husband to arouse his sus- picion. About ten days ago when Mrs. Leach was preparing to leave for the coast for the summer, Congo announc- ed that he was going to Bisbee or one of the southern mining camps to work.
 The man and woman both left the same night eor the south. A few days after that Mr Leach heard a rumor of an eloDement and he began to make inquiries which resulted in the locat- ing of the guilty pair at Yuma. About the sarne time the story of the mar riage was learned. Their arrest took place O. Thursday.
 MT. Leach, who had in the meantime resigned from the force. intended to leave for Yuma on Friday night but was detained. He started last night The case against Congo and Mrs. Leach will be tried in the United States district court for Yuma county and if a warrant charging the woman with bigamy is sworn out it will be issued by a magistrate of that county.
 MT. and Mrs. Leach were married within the last year at Tucson. The woman was then understood to be widow but since the present trouble has cone to light 1t is stated that she then had husband living from whom she had not been divorced.

Memorial Day Services On
 the City Plaza
Eloquent Speeches by H. B. Wilkinson and Others, Parade of Veterans and Militia.

Though yesterday was a windy and decidedly uncomfortable day the Phoenix people paid due and proper recognition to the memorial services in honor of the valiant dead who either sacrificed their lives, or chanc- ed them, that the nation might be perpetuated. Early in the morning the committees assigned to that work decorated the graves in the cemete- ries and shortly after 10 o'clock the official celebration of the day began at the city plaza where a speakers stand had been improvised west of the building on the green lawn.
 At 10 o'clock the veterans gathered in the G. A. R. Hall, then formed in line near the corner of Adams street and First avenue, marching from there to the city hall plaza. Though the specially honored portion of the procession, they formed but a small part of it. the escorting bodies exceeding them in number. First came the Indian school band, follow ed by companies B and A of the national guard, the battalion being under command of Captain Parks. Arriving at the plaza the escort halt ed, the militia came to an attitude of present arms" and extended mil itary honors as the veterans marched by. The band played The Star Spangled Banner" as it did again later in the exercises in conformity with the G. A. R. ritual.
 Captain Geo. B. Norton, commander of J. W. owen post, G. A. R., pre- sided during the exercises. Chaplain Winfield Scott offered an invocation after which H. B. Wilkinson was in
