Horse Runs Through Store

STANFORD. Conn. July 5.-Fright-
ened by a firecracker horse driven
by Dr. A. c. Hexamer, ran away last
night, broke from the runabout ran
through an open door into the store of
Fred c. Parsons on Main street and
lodging between rows of bicycles and
sewing machines squeezed through a
narrow doorway and passed out of the
rear of the store without doing parti-
Gle of damage to the store or the con-
tents.
Parsons and a clerk who were in the
store were paralyzed with astonish-

STEEL LIFEBOAT
PROVES UNSUITABLE
Government Adoption of New Self
Fighting Craft Will Be Urged
by Board

NEW YORK. July 5.-An official
test of a new American built. self
righting and unsuitable lifeboat was
made off Governors Island yesterday.
with the result that the quartermas-
ters department there will recommend
that the type be adopted by the govern
ment.
The craft was twice overturned in
the bay, was filled with water, righted
itself and was emptied in seven sec
onds. The main feature is that it Is
equipped with a powerful engine which
stops as the boat eapsizes. This auto
matte arrangement is meant to insure
that. should the boat overturn. the oc-
cupants will be able to again pick II
up Immediately.
The new craft is the invention of O.
r. Ingersoll of Brooklyn. who for ten
years has supplied the government with
lifeboats from his yards at Wilmington.
Del. For five years he has been at
work on the new model. and when
Monday he announced that 1t had been
made practical the quartermaster's de-
partment decided to give 1t a test

ARIZONA RACE HORSES
Stafford Sends First Bunch
of Trotters Entered for
the Fair

Among the first horsemen to ar
rive here for the Territorial fair
was w. E. McEuen, accompanied by
Henry Gray, who were in attendance
at the first Graham County fair at
Stafford. Mr.. McEuen reports that
it was great success and will be
made an annual event at Stafford.
He brings with him these horses:
Prince Zombro, belonging to DR..
Belt, that won the free for all at
Stafford and has mark of 2.273,
and will be entered in the 2.19 Cop
per Stake; Maggie Barkley, PAGER
belonging to McEuen and Sam
Barkley, to be entered in the 2:20
ana 2.lS pace; Navajo Girl, two
year-old owned by DR.. Belt, trot-
ter; Friday, a three-year-old, belong
ing to Dan Evans, of Tucson, and
two green colts belonging to George
Olney were in the bunch of racing
animals.
Another horse was Golden Boy,
belonging to Henry Gray, which
will be entered in the half-mile run
ming races.
The premium books will be out
this week and the billposters and
bills of the fair left this week and
the Territory will be plastered with
flaming announcements of the big
gest fair ever held here.
The secretary of the fair commits
sion has received the following en-
tries for the Los Angeles to Phoenix
automobile race: The cars are the
Elmore White Steamer, Ford,
Franklin and Apperson. President
Bullard has sent to the American
Automobile Association for the Ii
cense for the races under it's rules.
The Copper Queen and the Calumet
& Arizona mining companies have
generously offered two copper cups
each, valued at 500 each, for track
races. The cups will arrive here in
few days and be placed on ex-
hibition.
The commission was disappointed
to hear that Wilbur Wright may
not give paid exhibitions, but are
still hopeful of getting Glenn Cur
tiss, whose wonderful eight cylinder
Gold Bag biplane won the inter-
national speed contest at Rheims
and other events, and is probably
the fastest and most compactly
built aeroplane in the world. 1t
weighs about five hundred pounds
and has control largely centered in
a steering wheel instead of several
levers, as in the Wright biplane.
Curtiss has been getting $500 day
for flights and the commission thinks
he would be worth the price. Cur
tiss has had less trouble with his
motor than any aerial navigator in
the business. Arizona Gazette.

We have investigated and found
no bill in six cases.
The recommendation of the last
grand jury for the re-submission to
this grand jury, of two cases was,
by vote, ignored.
In the matter of the investigation
of the killing of two women by a
blast on the, Shannon Railroad, we
find that the evidence presented be-
fore this grand jury does not justify
a charge of criminal carelessness,
but consider that certain amount
of earelesness was in evidence, and
had the proper care been taken by
the contractors, the unfortunate
accident might have been prevented,
and we recommend that more pre-
caution be taken at the loading of
blasts wf1er people reside within the
range of such explosions, and that
different and more thorough meth
DDS be taken for the information of
people in or near the work.
We wish to thank the sheriff and
district attorney for their prompt
ness in furnishing witnesses for our
examination.
We also thank your honor and all
county officials for courteous con-
siderations during our sessions.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The Sixty

of its first regular session, with Vice
President Sherman in the chair of the
senate, and Speaker Joseph G. Can.
non in the chair in the House While
this congressional gathering is the
first regular session. 1t is the second
session in reality, for congress met in
extraordinary session last spring at
the call of President Taft to consider
the matter of a revision of the tariff.
Some interest was lacking In the
proceedings of the first day in the
capitol because at the beginning OF
the extraordinary session in March

ordinary session was ended, Speaker
Cannon appointed all the committees
which are to take legislation under
consideration for the next two win

of the members for choice chairman.

Hous.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and so
is that, so far as committee work is con.
concerned, the House not only is
ready to proceed at once to consider
Legislation, but most of the members
have brought themselves into frame
of mind TO do what they are called
upon to do without regard to their
past feelings of disappointment and
perhaps. anger.
As Is always the case on the open.
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well TO secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were iammed with people All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as well, was filed

dies of the different legations. Mem
bers of the families of the president
and of the yice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries: and the cabinet and judlei.
airy and army and navy circles were
well represented.
By rule which was adopted not
long ago. flowers are barred from the
floor OF the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to the
memory of some deceased member.
The result of this rule is that now on
the opening days OF congress the
desks of the members are bare of
floral decorations. In the old days
