HEARD REQUESTS
PRESIDENT TO
DELAY

PHOENIX, Sept. PA letter has
been received at this office from NJ.
Dwight B. Heard who was present al
a dinner given President Taft at Chi
cago By the Comermcial Club. M.
Heard took occasion TO make PEI
sonal appeal to the president for a
change in his schedule in his tour OF
the west SO that his visit in Phoenix
might be extended: Ths< president
stated that at this time any change
would be a practical impossibility.
In his letter he dwells on the import
ance in presenting to the president IN
the short time allowed here the most

saws he: This visit of the presider;
TO Arizona gives an opportunity to ihi-
tate a very concerted and aggressi =
campaign for statehood and belieys
that from the time he enters the ter -
tory until he leaves, Arizona's Claim
should BE kept clearly before him IN

ner."
Mr.. Heard writes that he had 4
very satisfactory conference VILE

val of the bill prepared for the house
opinion the house woud pass the bin

while he had not had conference with
Speaker Cannon on the subject o.
statehood he believed that no opposi-

met.

A PEPPER BOX
WAS JUAREz
BOMB

The whole Southwest is beginning
to laugh over the story sent out
from FL Paso telling of the discovery
of bomb in Juarez near the customs
house where Taft and Diaz are tc
meet. The bomb, according to ]. P
Haynes, Jr., travelling freight and
passenger agent for the E. P. & S. W.,
was nothing more than a large tin
pepper box filed. with a mixture OF
salt and pepper.
How the story ever came to be sent
out by the Associated Press, Mr..
Haynes cannot understand. That it
will do great deal Of harm to the
attendance upon the meeting of the
presidents of the two great republics,
is now feared in FL Paso as it has
been spread broadcast over the eoun-
try. every newspaper taking it up.
That there will be any danger of
any kind Of an outbreak on either side
of the line Is something to be laughed
at. The idea is preposterous in the
face of the facts, as there are 10 be
5000 American troops alone and sew
eral thousand Mexican troops on the
other side of the line.
1T will be quite test Of the South
ern Pacific equipment in the south
west to mobilize the troops in FL Paso
according TO schedule. They are to
bring the entire garrison of Fort Sam
Houston from San Antonio, and are
to have them in FL Paso no later than

them to San Antonio by not later
than September Is, as they are to

dent during his visit there. In order
to accomplish this hard feat Of trans

CURFEN To MEAN
SOMETHING To
YOUNGSTERS

The sound of the ecurfew bell. for
some time disregarded by Bisbec
youngsters, will again assume an au,
lucrative tone for the children. City
Marshal Stevens has given orders to
the night policemen that every child
under the aga of u years caught upon
the streets after 8 o'clock shall be
first warned to go home and upon a
second offense be placed in jail.
Their are number of children IN
Bisbee to whom the curfew has be.
come a dead letter, some of then
staying out until the early morning
hours. Some of the youngsters loaf
around pool rooms and other resorts
undesirable for the young, Mr.. Stew
ems states, and these will be given
particular attention.
= Pool room propritors have been no
ufied that they will be prosecuted in
case they allow child4en in their
places of business during school
hours also. Mr.. Stevens and his men
will aid so far as possible in enforc-
ing the truancy law.
While he does not wish to treat the
youngsters harshly Mr.. Stevens is
determined that the curfew law shall
be obeyed and after one warning will
jail the youngsters and take action
against their parents, who are really
responsible in the matter.

Since 1900 British steam merchant
shipping has increased by 2,404, 403
tons, and its sailing tonnage has de-
creased by SALTS tons. the net in.
crease being 1.s63,224 tons.
England has become to some ex
tent the carrier, not only OF the great
est portion of her own exports and
imports, but of a considerable portion
of the exports and imports of other
countries. Besides her regular liners
running to the United State, Canada
and the West Indies, to China and
Japan, to India and other places,
amounting roughly to 1,3O0 vessels,
she has also an immense feet of
steamers and sailing vessels known
as tramps, numbering more than
$4,000. These go everywhere.
The amount of shipping passing
through the Suez canal is a Their
emometer by which may be guaged
the trend of the worlds maritime com
merce. Between 1900 and 1906 the
gross tonnage of vessels passing
through the canal increased from
1865, 237 TO 1S.s1O,713 tons, or a total
increase of 5.111,476 tons. OF this in.
crease 1921 ,933 consisted of British
tonnage and 975,5S7 of German.
British ships are carrying American
exports and imports extensively. The
United States even found it necessary
to charter British steamers to coal
the battle feet from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific, and in case OF war would
have to avail itself of foreign bottoms
for the transportation not only Of coal,
but of supplies.
The absence Of American shipping
from the great ports of the world is
more than noticeable The United
States Consul Generaf>at Calcutta re
ported in 1906 Not a single Ameri-
can ship. so far as can learn, has
been il any Indian port for years"
Says the United States consul at
Glasgow: Not single American
freight or passenger vessel entered
or left this port s1ring the year
1906"
