A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT
 coupled WITH 4 SOUND SUGGESTION.

Among other features in the admirable speech made by Mark Smith last Sunday at Lewis Springs, there was a few minutes devoted to the clean, honest Republican, the substance of Mark Smiths re- marks being to the effect, that when you see a man who does his whole duty, to his family, his country, to himself and God, that man, is a Dem ocrat, AT HEART, whether he IS one in fact or not, and that the many splendid citi- zens who graced the occasion

with their presence, and who fully came up to that descriP
 ton, and who voted the Re publican ticket, were in the wrong ranks. They were good
 men, but they were away from home They should come over to the house of true Dem ocracy, where such splendid principles, all form gems in the diadem of political purity, and not hide their virtues un- der a bushel, nor cloud their good merits by associations which compromise the ques- tion of their sincerely. THt PRosPECToR believes that is right, and just why our good Republican citizens do no1 come across and identify themselves with the good olC party which reflects, and live: out its sound principles ever, day is difficult to figure out.

Greene, the copper king of Cananea , Mex, to recover SIl2,0OO for 32,OOO acres O! land iu Arizona, which the defendant is alleged to have contract- ed for. It is alleged that on January 24, 1908. Colonel Greene while at Cansnea, in the state of Sonora, bought from the defendant land which lies along the Babocomari river and is known as the Del Babacarari land grant.
 It is further alleged that Greene promised at that time to pay SIP ,000 to Perrin upon delive-y or tender to him of good and sufficient deed to the property; that on May F, 1908, Perrin did tender to Greene warranty deed to the land.
 As Perrin alleges that the money never has been paid to him and that Greene is not a resident of the state of California, he asks the United States circuit court to grant him judgment for $ll2.0O0, with interest from Janu- ary 24, 1908, and for costs of the suit.

ARIZONA YELLOW PINE

 To Promote Its Growth
A Washington dispstoh says

A Washington dispatch says:
 s. T. Dana of the office of sylvics, United States forest service, has inst returned to Washington from the southwest, where he has been making study of the natural productions of western yellow pine, ch:tfy on the Prescott, Coconino and Sitgreaves ns- tional forests in Arizona. The study Is one of much practical importance, since yellow pine. which is by far the most important species of that region, has in many cases not been reprod uc- ing itself satisfactorily. The yellow pine forests are one of the most vslu. able sssets of the southwest, and any method which will secure their per. petustion is of vital importance not only to the lum bermen, but to the people as . whole.

The above echo from the celebrated Wardwell leprosy case, is tocsin challenge to the good. Tombstone had a genuine case of leprosy, which the courage and wisdom of our author ities managed to unload. Now that we have time to reflect, after the anxiety and suspense are over, we would respectfully urge the authori- ties and the press To force thi. matter on the attention of the government at Washington. to the end that an act may be passed providing for the effec- tusl disposition of all such serious menaces to the welfare and security of the community,
 This incident, sounding as i, does the most profound depths of pathetic misfortune. should naturally appeal to pa:ernai government along lines of humanity as well as common duty. Sympathy and duty to the unfortunate victim so suddeuly relegated from happy domestic surroundings to the midst Of a living death, shorn Of every species of comfort or consolation, should appeal with equal strength on | bshal! Cf the fortunate community the members of which have never fallen heir to such misfortune.
 The considerations behind this ap- peal are innumerable and powerful and we can hardly believe that oul government, organized and carried on as the immortal Lincoln said, ef the people, by the people and for the peo pie can see its way clear to ignore 1 them
 THE PRosPEcroR feels that if tn, matte, is rightly pressed before tn, fathers Of law, in Washington, ther, will be some provision promptly made for disposing of such cases withou unnecessary embarrassment to tn, | local community Tn which they hap pen to occur.
 No case of this kind ever has, O ever could have arisen in Tombstone superb climate, but one might b rushed or us from outs de sources al any time, and in our own behalf. al well as that of every other communit, in Arizona and the southwest. We ap peal to the government, the law mak CTS, the sanitary frsternities and tn, press to get iD and frame law at tn, earliest possible day to handle sucl emergencies without delay or danger to the locality where such emergency ] may arise.

FAILURE FORMALLY TO
WE'D TIES UP ESTATE
Wealthy Ranchnan NegIects
Ceremony, Although Living
With Woman 23 Years

The failure of John Lee, a wealthy
Nevada ranchman and store keeper
who died recently, to go through a for
NAL marriage ceremony with the
woman who for % years was his wife
under q contract. has occasioned some
delay in the distribution of the Cali
fornia portion of the estate. worth
100000. The Nevada courts have de-
clared Anna B. Lee the widow of John
Lee.
Judge Graham, to whom application
was made yesterday for distribution,
took the matter under submission to
look up the authorities as to whether
further evidence is necessary to estab-
lish the marriage.
The Scotch" marriage took place in
1884, at which time Lee was Sd years
old and the woman q. When the con
tract was made Mrs. Lee testified yes
terday. only herself, her brother and
Lee were present. Lees estate in Me-
vada and California totals S250.OO0 in
value. He left no will. The only other
claimant of interest in the estate is
James Boyd, nephew of Lee. He and
Mrs. Lee have compromised their CON
fiicting claims by an agreement to di-
vide equally the estate. Lee lived AT
Wadsworth. New. The portion Of his
estate in this, state, worth 500, 1000,
comprises stocks, bonds and money in

EXPRESS OFFICE is
LOOTED BY THIEVES
Gift Packages RuthlessIy Torn
Open by Cracksmen Who
Get $500

Thieves invaded the realm of Santa
Claus early yesterday morning when
they entered the Wells Fargo express
company's branch office at 1926 Geary
street and made away with plunder
valued at about $500. By saving out
a panel in the rear door of the office
the burglars gained an entrance into
the place, where they tore open holt
day packages without fear of molesta-
ton. The burglars were frightened
away by a milkman. it is thought, who
saw two men walking down Geary
street.
The exact amount of loss to the COM
pany Will not be known for several
weeks. Packages were so badly mu-
tilated that the addresses could not be
read, and only when the consignee
misses the shipment will the company
be enabled to determine TO whom many
of the nameless packages belong. The
burglars appeared to have a penchant
for small packages, probably believing
that they contained jewelry or valu-
ables. for the larger packages were
not disturbed after the marauders had
peered into the boxes.
Captain Seymour, chief of the Wells
Fargo special agents, detailed four men
to investigate the robbery. The thieves
had easy access to the rear of the
store. An alleyway from Geary street
led into the rear of the office and by
opening a gate they were in a small
yard hidden from view by high fence.
About 20 holes were bored into the
panel of the door opening into the
store and through the aperture thus
formed one of the thieves .crawled, un-
latched the door from the inside and
permitted his pal to enter.
The janitor employed by the COM
pany to care for the store discovered
upon his arrival there at o'clock
yesterday morning that the place had
been robbed. He reported the matter
to II. r. Bradford, the district agent,
who notified the police department.
Detectives Lord and Gaughran were de-
tailed upon the case.
City Superintendent Hown of the ex-
press company declared that a definite
loss can not be estimated for several
weeks.

SENATOR WOLFE IS
AROUSED BY SMITH
Indignantly Denies Concurring
With Congressman in Aiding
Power Companies

Senator Edward l. Wolfe denies in
dignantly that he has ever concurred in
Congressman S. c. Smiths proposal to
give the power companies. free of
charge, water rights and other valuable
privileges in the national forests, and
thinks he has been wronged by the
congressional champion of water and
timber grabbers.
The senator from the twenty first
brands as unqualifiedly false a news
dispatch from Washington purporting
to express his views on the taxation
of corporations seeking the gift of
water power from the government.
Wolfe declares that there is abso-
lutely no basis in truth for the coupling
of his name with that of Congressman
Smith, so far as the free concession
of valuable water privileges is con-
cerned. On the contrary, Wolfe in
sists that his only interest in the mat
ter springs from the desire to make
the corporations seeking power from
forest reserves contribute to the reve-
nue. of the state.
The dispatch from Washington rep
resented Wolfe as fully in accord with
the congressman from the eighth dis
trict in the latter's opposition to
the imposition by the government
of conservation charge for en-
ergy derived from government
waters, to be used for hydro-elect
plants. It stated that Wolfe and Smith
were taking the field against Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Clifford Pinchot,
who are in favor of such tax.
Wolfe entered a vigorous denial yes
terday and backed his denial with the
text of the only letter which he has
addressed to Smith on the subject.
when I was invaded at Paso Ro-
bles." said Wolfe, Il met Congressman
Smith and he told me of the efforts
which the power companies were max

would write to him at Washington for

my own conclusions on mature knowl-
edge of the subject.
Il don't know any of the men con-
nected with the water companies and
have absolutely no interest in this
matter which is not the interest of the
state at large. If this matter assumes
a serious aspect / shall ask the privi-

Many Congratulate Cook

Jesse 3. Cook the newly appointed
chief of police, was warmly congratu-
lated yesterday by members of the de-
partment and citizens, among the latter
being commissioner Howell. The
new appointee hesitated for some time
as to accepting the Office, but in the
afternoon expressed his intention of
accepting the honor thrust upon him.
Il fully realize" he said, "the re-
sponsibilities of the Office. but I will
do my best to keep the department in
every respect in a thorough state of
efficiency. All / want is a square deal
and time to make myself conversant
with the workings of the various de-
partments. Whatever changes I may
make, if 1 make any. will be made
when 1 see it will be to the advantage
of the department to make them. That
is all I can say at present. Who will
be my successor as property clerk 1
have not yet considered"
For property clerk several names
were freely mentioned yesterday,
among them being Sergeant Clarance
Coogan. in charge of the city prison;
Sergeant Owen German, hack inspector;
Sergeant Thomas A. Atchison, sta
toned at headquarters. and Sergeant
James II. Anderson on the booking desk
at the city prison. Coogan's chances
are said to be bright. One thing is
certdln-tne Cnle1S clerk, John j.
OMeara, will retain the position.
1t was the general belief around
headquarters that the first change
made by the new chief would be in
the captain of detectives. The char
ter provides that the captain of de-
tectives be taken from captains and
the difficulty confronting the new chief
will be the most competent man to Sc
lect from those at his disposal. Cap
tain Duke has the experience and il is
known that he was hampered in his
efforts by the jealousy and opposition
of ex-Chief Dinan.
The new chief took legal advice yes
terday as to President Cutters power
to vote for his appointment and was
assured that there was nothing in the
charter or otherwise to prevent him.
That point was determined by the
court IN the case of ex-Chief Whitman.
who was discharged from office after
trial by three commissioners, two
voting for his discharge and the other
against. 1t was stated yesterday that
Captain Duke would make this conten-
tion in his fight to vitiate the proceed
ings of the board which found him
guilty of negligence last Tuesday.
Captain Duke said yesterday that his
attorney never thought of raising such
a point and he was surprised when he
read 1t in a morning paper.
