He told the farmers that if they want to raise seed. he thinks it pos sible to breed up an alfalfa that will yield one hundred pounds to the acre more than does the present scrub a- falfa that some farmers are growing. If hay is desired perhaps it is possible to breed an alfalfa that will yield five hundred pounds more to the acre each cutting than does the present all falfa At the close of his address. Prof. Freeman answered number of questions concerning the growing of alfalfa

The Copper Adjustment.

Though combinations of capital or effort are generally regarded as sin ister, the great copper combine which is now in process of formation will be welcomed by copper producers large and small. whether within or without the combine Even the pretty well substantiated rumor of the organiza- ton a couple of days ago had the ef feet of stiffening the price of both the metal and copper industrials.
 For the last two years there has been too much refined copper in this world. There was more than was needed before the panic of 1907, but when that financial disturbance put a quietus on activities generally, copper was perhaps the first of the great producing industrials to feel it. In fact it was about the only one in whose product there was a serious slump.
 There was a cessation of operations or a reduction Of product for a time. until confidence was pretty well re- stored, when copper began to be turned out at as great a rate as be- fore. The use of copper came mo- where near keeping pace with the production, until now there is sur felt which it will take months to dis sipate though the use of the metal

FARMERS INSTITUTE
 HELD AT BUCKEYE
There Were Two Splendid Sessions Appreciated by the Valley
 Settlers

The farmers institute held at Buck eye on November 18th, was well at tended. The afternoon session was held in the public school building. where a large crowd of pupils and farmers listened to the able address given by Prof. Geo F. Freeman. plant breeder of the Arizona experiment sta tion. on the subject. Plant Breeding"
 Prof Freeman gave in brief the his tory of the grape. the apple and the tomato. and then showed how just as great changes. perhaps, could be made in the fruits and grains of the Gila valley Prof Freemans address was very interesting. as well as i'm structive.
 The evening session was held in the First Baptist church. Mir. Jones. one of Buckeyes most prominent farmers. acted as chairman. The first speaker of the evening was Prof R w. Clothier. professor of agriculture. uni versity of Arizona and Arizona ex pertinent station, who spoke on the subject, Improvement of Farm Homes Prof. CIOthier began by say ing that Arizona homes are not especially beautiful. and he assigned several reasons for this, the chief be- ing that the men don't care.
 The speaker then showed the effect of environment upon character and appealed to the citizens of Buckeye to see to it that their families have places to live which can be called homes. After Prof. Clothier had dis cussed the necessity of good farm homes. he told his audience how to build them. He told the farmers that the first requisite is to have the house built properly. IL costs no more to. build a well-planned house than it does to build a poorly planned one. Care must be taken as to the location of the house if one would have it make the best possible appearance. Prof. Clothier appealed to the men to build their houses so that the kitchens will be just as beautiful as the front.
 The next speaker of the evening was Prof. Freeman. who spoke on the sub ject, Alfalfa" Prof. Freeman began by asking the farmers what kind of al falfa they grow. The answer in most cases was just alfalfa" Next he showed the necessity of breeding al- falfa for the specific purpose for which it is desired.

 In the course of adjusting the pro duction to the demand there will be an increase in prices and a curtail- ment of labor. The latter condition any event. It takes just so much labor to produce certain amount of copper. and there would not. in any case. be more produced. for any con- siderable period of time. than might be needed.

Ind. January 9, 1867. which was also the birthplace of his mother. From In diana he moved at the very early age to Winchester. Ky. Here he was edu- cated in the public schools and high school from whence he went to De Paw university at Greencastle. Ind. studying there in lSS4-fSS5 He then went to Danville normal school, In diana, from which school he was graduated in 1893 and took the A. B. degree. He taught several years in Kentucky and then attended the Ken lucky Wesleyan college at Winchester for two years. He again taught in Kentucky. Missouri and Mississippi. being principal of several schools in these states.
 In 1898 he entered the civil service employment, being in charge of some very important contracts. His work became so strenuous and he became so interested in the government work on the rivers of the south that he fell a victim to malaria and later tubercu losis without stopping to consider the terrible results For the past three years he has been trying by travel and climate to allay the malady. but the dreadful disease at last mastered him

PHOENIX YOUNG LADY
 RECEIVES A LETTER
Describing An Attempted Assassina-
 ton at Warsaw, Poland.

Miss Elsie Willie. niece of R L. Bake, yesterday received letter from her uncle. M. Roman Willie. of War saw. Poland. giving an account of a recent attempt to assassinate the chief of police of Warsaw and his secre- tary. The Associated Press dispatches of ten days ago mentioned the at tempted assassination, which failed.
 The letter states that the attempt was made in front of the house of the writer and that the explosion of the bomb intended for the chief of police tore out the front of the house.
 MT. Willie, who was a close friend of the chief of police. had for several days been confined to his house with a broken leg. The chief, in the course of a tour of the city. accompanied by his secretary. stopped to see him.
 Their automobile was driven within the stone archway, peculiar to the fronts of houses of the better class in Warsaw and other European cities. and the chief and the secretary had just alighted and entered the house when the explosion occurred. The archway was demolished and the ma chine was blown to pieces.
 In the Associated Press dispatches it was stated that bomb was thrown under the machine, but that was not the case. The supposition is that 1t was concealed within the automobile and was set off by a timed fuse. the conspirators not being aware of the intended stop.
 The letter states that the chauffeur is suspected of having been in the plot. for as soon as the machine was driven within the archway he disap- peared and was not found after the explosion occurred. nor at the time of the writing of the letter

A very large majority of the peo- pie of this country would be pleased to see Messrs Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison saved the humiliation and discomfort of going to jail. They are not criminals. and their offense Is not any ordinary expression of contempt of court. They have all along enjoyed the sympathy of the mass of their countrymen. But the needless defi- ance of the courts. now in progress at Toronto. is not likely either to give the defendants a better standing in court. nor is it likely to increase the measure of popular sympathy with them.

The Crittenton Home.

A few years ago say generation, there were fewer philanthropists than there are today. We mean by philan- thropists in this connection men who spend large sums of money for philan- thropic work. Most conspicuous among them was George Peabody Having amassed large fortune, Mir Peabody devoted it, as well as his time. to good works. Though other men since his time have spent vaster sums in philanthropic work, no one has come nearer to the position occu- pied by Mir. Peabody than the late Charles N. Crittenton. whose love for a dead little daughter impelled him to the work of retaining and saving the daughters of others. Hence the Florence Crittenton homes established by the munificence of Mir. Crittenton
 Of the work and of the need of it it is almost unnecessary to speak It is only wonderful that no one had undertaken it on such a scale before, for no human misery can be deeper and more appealing than that of those MT. Crittenton set out to save.
 Within the last twenty years these homes have perhaps relieved a greater measure of human woe than any other agency for the betterment of h.. the number of girls saved. but of the depths from which they were raised.
 All the unfortunates gathered with in the homes are. of course. not per- manently reclaimed. but the reports show that @ per cent of them are a magnificent percentage.
 Now that MT. Crittenton is dead, the future of these homes is uncer- tain. Whether he had made provision for a continuance of his support is not known. and whether some other philanthropist of great wealth will take up the work and give to it not only of his money but of a marvellous executive ability remains to be seen.
 In the meantime the support of the institutions will be drawn largely from the communities where they are To- cated. and thus is a worthy work opened to the charitably minded of Phoenix
 The burden of the expense of main- taining cur Crittenton Home rests now upon the shoulders of a few earnest men and women. who are keeping the "open door" through which the lost may enter into the warmth of Christian sympathy. This is a burden that should be as evenly dis tributed as the burden Of taxation.
 Those who are carrying on the work here constitute a role of honor to place on which all should aspire. The members of the board of direct ors are: Henry c. Yeager. president Eugene Brady O'NeiIl, vice president: A. F Jones, John w Forney J. H. LanEston. Roy $. Goodrich, Vernon l.. Clark. secretary and treasurer. The members of the associate board are: Mrs Matte Banks. president; Mrs. L. c Toney. vice president; Mrs A. w Chipperfield. Mrs. Minnie F. Wright. Mrs Louis Melczer. Mrs. w. W Cook, 1 secretary and treasurer.

B00KKEEPERS BEAT
THE ALPHABETICALS

After much sparring by the re-

Railway, Light & Power Company
and the Bookkeepers' ball aggrega-
tions over the ball laws last night,
the six-inning affair was finished, re-
sulting in the street car players being
defeated by score of to 1.
It was just simply lot of bone
headed base running which lost the
game for the p r. l.. & p. Co. Not
withstanding they had many men on
bases at different times, but only one
could be scored. One OF the street
car players hit single out to center
field, which went between the CENTER
fielder's legc, but, instead of trying
to make all he could out of the excel
lent chance, the runner sauntered up
to second base, where he loafed few
second. and then made a record slow
run for third. A baseball player with
half an inhibition could have scored
with ease. The street car men GER
tainly have the correct baseball spirit,
but the manner In which some of

ball, and then throw it nearly out of

UNCLE SAM REFUSES
TO ACCEPT FREE LAND
[unIted Press Leased wlre.l

Washington, June 26.-It was an
nounced today that the government
will not accept the land offered by
the city CT San Pedro as a site for a
torpedo station. According to the
opinion given by the officials OF the
war department, the city had no legal
right to make the offer of the land,
nor has the government a right to
accept t.
The tract in question comprises
145 acres of submerged land. 1t is
thought that the effort OF the San
Pedrans to secure the torpedo sta
tion was a move in the Los Angeles
consolidation fight, that has been in
progress for more than a year.
Shortly after the offer was made
the city council of Los Angeles
passed resolution opposing the ac-
ceptance OF tn land, and lodged a
formal protest with the government.
IL is thought that the Southern Cali
fornia metropolis, anticipating future
consolidation with tho seaport town,
wishes to reserve the tract as q site
for varot houses and municipal
wharves.
