well known to the people of Arizona
that it is hardly necessary to ~,on

For the past three years the ques-
ton OF statehood has been the para

the people Of Arizona were interested
and because of this, few representa-
tives in congress have ever had the
opportunity TO render such distin-

as Mark Smith rendered to the people
OF Arizona At the end of the fight
against joint statehood which resulted
in the preservation of the right of

Company Which Went Bond Of
EddIeman and Nolan the
Defendants

Receiver T. n. Lakin, in charge d.
the affairs of the defunct First Nation
al bank OF this city, stated yesterday
to a representative of the Revue.
that the dividend which he hoped 10
pay the depositors the latter bart of
October would have to be postponed
from thirty to sixty days WhrL
asked as to why this had been done,
the receiver stated that il had been
rendered necessary by an unexp-ctsu
s4owness in collections, probably due
to the failure of the country TO re-
cover from the panic as soon as had
been expected.
The receivef has not yet sold the
bank building. although he could do
so at the present time at profit. tie
is holding off in the belief that as
soon as times improve a little, the
building can be disposed a. at ar adj
ditional profit that will justify his
waiting.
Receiver Lakin has recently maus
two trips to Phoenix, in connection
with the suit which the defunct banh

EVERY MAN Is AN
ELECTRIC BATTERY
Or. Siebsl Says Vital Fluid Can
Be So Stored as 10 Prolong
Life.

Every man can generate his own
electricity and may find out the secret
OF life. according TO announcement
made 10 the American Association
for the Advancement OF Science by
DR.. J. Z. Siebel. a Chicago physician.
His experiments, conducted for sew
eral years, indicate that electricity
stored in the human frame can be
released and made 10 work This
works the prolongation OF life
through the additional vitality sup
piled 10 the human body working
as its own electrical generator.
Nearly one year ago Or. Siebel an
nounced that nutritive elements, such
as alcohol, sugar. fats. etc, during
their consumption by the human or
animal body act as generators of cleo
tricity in the miniature but numerous
batteries that comprise the muscular
structure of the human frame. At
the time there was only one link
missing to make the theory perfect.
The oxygen carrier OF the blood,
oxynemoglobin, would not yield to
the electric IOrCe generated III lue
miniature batteries of the body.
Another consideration which makes
the Siebel discovery the more peril
nent to every day life is the fact that
the oxidizing mediums are common
and inexpensive and thus within the
grasp of that vast body of workers
who need added energy most. OF
the combustibles necessary 10 impart
this energy to be generated within
the body itself denatured alcohol Is
one of the most common, while sugar
and fats also play an important part
IN this solution of the secret of life
| For the last year DR.. Siebel has
/ busted himself with experiments
/ along this line. and the announce
ment and demonstration OF his sue
cess made in his address before thu
association. proved TO the sessions o.
scientists that a new method for th'
generation of energy within the hu
man body itself has been produced
DR.. Siebel has succeeded in the con
struction of batteries on a workin,
scale in which the nutritive combus
tibles necessary 10 form the connec
tion between the batteries and tn
system have been created.-Nev
