BUSINESS MEN FIGHT AGAINST
 PROHIBITION
Bankers, Manufacturers and Merchants of St. Louis At- tempt to Stay Prohibition Sentiment in Legislature

ST. LOUIS. Mo. April 20.Fcrmal
 and vigorous protest against state
 wide prohibition in Missouri will be
 declared by the organized financial,
 commercial and manufacturing inter-
 ests of St. Louis. Memorials of re-
 monstrance will be adopted, and, in
 all probability, committees will be
 appointed to go to Jefferson City and
 request the state legislature to re-
 frain from hasty and injurious action. The St. Louis Real Estate exchange took the initiative in proclaiming against the annihilation of the brew
 cry business. The Business Mems league, the Merchants exchange, the
 Missouri Manufacturers association. and the officials of all St. Louis banks will meet and go on record against the submission to the voters of con stitutional amendment for statewide prohibition.
 The executive committee of the
 Business Mems league. the directors ] of the Merchants exchange and the board of the Missouri Manufacturers !, association win convene, in their lheadduarters, this afternoon, while representatives of all the banks and trust companies will assemble at the Third National bank building.
 Adolphus Busch. head of the An heuser-Busch Brewing association. himself appealed to officers. directors and members of the influential mer- camille organizations of St Louis to stem the tide. His arguments pre- vailed easily. as even those financiers and business men who are not un- friendly to local option are antago- nistic to the contemplated constitu- tional amendment for absolute pro Ihibition throughout the whole state. It is expected that the mercantile. industrial and financial associations of Kansas City, St. Joseph and other large cities and towns of Missouri will follow the lead taken by St.
 Louis and endeavor to impress on the
 general assembly that there is pro
 nounced and substantial sentiment against radical policy.
 10000 Positions at Stake. The commercial and financial
 bodies of St. Louis will notify the
 state senate that the brewing inter. ests of St. Louis give employment to
 10000 persons, who support 100000
 inhabitants of the city, and that state
 wide prohibition would result in in
 calculable injury to them, would i'm
 peril real estate values and destroy
 investments aggregating many mil
 lions of dollars.

to the handcuffs and was taken to the station. There he speedily re gained his composure and made a full confession of the killing. He said that after his marriage he and his wife went on the vaudeville stage. On ac- count of his poor health they gave up their engagements and returned to Somerville to live. Mrs. Jordan, according to the husband, had taken to drinking. and he said, was asso- ciating with other men and he be came jealous It was in a jealous quarrel that the trouble started which ended in the death of the wife. Jor- dan declared that his wife struck him first. that he then knocked her down and was terrified to md that he had killed her. That happened at 7:30 o'clock in the evening. Fear ing discovery of his crime. he con ceived the idea of cutting the body up. taking it away on one of the steamers and throwing the parts ov- erboard and then reporting to the DO lice that his wife had left him. Jor- dan. according to his confession. while dazed at the awfulness of his deed, went about in a careful man ner carrying out his plans, which were frustrated twenty-four hours later by the suspicious or the cab man. During his long period in jail Jordan has maintained the same com parative calm that he exhibited when he WAS arrested and apparently feels confident that he will get of.

Pressing Needs of a Bridge Across the Giia-Latest De- veIopment of the New Gold Strike Near Winkleman

FLORENCE, Ariz, April 2O.-Two more prisoners have made their es- cape from the penitentiary. A couple of good bloodhounds might save the territory time as well as expense in capturing the runaways and make es- cape impossible.
 The recent gold strike north of the London-Arizona claims, near Winkel man is proving to be rich one. It Is about eight miles east of Burns, railroad station, and the property To- cated by Phil Grigs and others is called the Gold Bluff group. Engineer Reynolds, one of the Guggenbeim field experts. has expressed a very favorable opinion of the property.
 The recent discoveries of rich mines in different parts of the coun- try is remarkable and gives promise of a prosperous era in the mining industry.
 The extension of the railroad from Winkelman to Globe willi open up a fine mineral belt.
 Since my last letter we have re- ceived confirmation of the appoint ment of Judge Sloan as governor of Arizona As a former resident of Florence, where he served as district attorney, he won the friendship and esteem of all, and his recent promo tion gives his many friends great say 3sfaction. That he is a man of h. Esgrity. culture and one Of ns- gure's noblemen. gives us great cont- cence that under his administration sae affairs of the territory will be conducted with justice and honor to Arizona.
 Contemplated public works, not ably the Florence bridge, which have been delayed on account of recent changes, will now be soon under way Several carloads of machinery and lumber for the prison arrived re gently and were delivered by Chono celaya, who has the prison freight contract.
 A bridge over the river is neces sity as at present all teams must ford ! the river. which can only be done when the water is low. As the flow | has been considerable, on account of rains, much delay has been caused 1 in getting freight over. Let us hope 1 for railroad bridge. too, althongf perhaps it is best as it is for those | who own teams.

 He put the rest of the body in a trunk and came into Boston with the ghastly burden, stopping at a board ing house preliminary to taking a steamer for New York. It was his intention to get rid Of what remained of his wife by throwing the torso in to the water while the boat was en- route for New York.
 The cabman who took Jordan and his trunk to the boarding-house be came suspicious about its contents while carrying the trunk into the house. Its weight made him think il contained stolen silverware, and the nervous manner of Jordan satisfied him the man was a burglar There had been, many robberies of silver ware recently , The caDman, believ- ing he was on the trail of the thief, went to tine police an dtold them of the mysterious trunk.
 Officers were detailed to go to the boarding house and investigate. When they reached the house Jordan was not in. but the policemen were shown Aut GOOlu JOAudA AaeAu Nhe1SNR HAhNs found the trunk. The police did not open the trunk
 About , o'clock Jordan returned. Accosted in the hallway by the off cer he at first denied his identity Later he admitted who he was Asked about his trunk he denied he had one. He was ordered to his room by the off cer, however. and commanded to open the trunk. Jordan did not ap- pear n the least nervous or alarmed. but hesitated to open the trunk. It was not until after considerable ar gument on the part of the officer that he produced the key and inserted it in the lock.

HURTING DETAILS
 OF VALLEY EXTENSION

GLOBE. April 20.-The bridge con struction outfit of the Gila Valley railway arrived here and proceeded at once to the new right of way for the Miami extension and began prep arations for putting a trestle a short distance below town.
 The outfit is in charge of Bridge Foreman Carlos and has been at work at Pima for some time past. A good sized gang of men accompany the outfit.
 It is probable that the gang will be kept busy for some time putting in the necessary bridges for the new line.
 It is probable that within a short time the line from the depot to the old Dominion shelter will be double tracked
 The single line has been ample in the past, but with construction work on the Miami in progress. the single track will have to be kept open prac tica1iy all of the time, for that req son. the railway officials are figuring on laying an extra line of track.
 Just how soon this work will bt taken up has not been announced as yet A new siding Is now being put in, running from the freight depot tC the Old Dominion's warehouse.
 The work of fitting out the big hog back freight engine which recent, arrived from Cananea, with an oi burning outfit. has been delayed through lack of material. It is neces sary to build an oil tank for this ten der and the material to be used in . part of it's construction has been de layed in transit. The engine will bt put on the freight run as soon as it is equipped with oil burners.

should be invested for the public
benefit. Why then, should I myself
not assume the responsibility Of max
ing the investment?
you want to know what impelled
me to set about giving away my for
tune? Well, I've been a hunter after
poverty all my life and it isn't hard
to find it even in America. I have
wanted to give young men the advan-
tages of education because they need
it, and the country needs educated
young men.
II have selected what you might
call the wilderness for my gifts just
because in the wilderness education
is more needed and there it yields the
richest returns on small invest
ment."
Mr.. Pearsons himself does not know
how much money he has given to edu-
cational institutions. His latest gift
was one Of $4,000 for the establish
ment of a woman's department in the
Chicago Theological seminary. At
different times he has advanced sums
aggregating $150,000 to needy stu
dents.
DR.. Pearsons made his money in
real estate in the early days of Chi
cago. He not only dealt in city real
estate, but made specially of farm
lands. He represented the Illinois
Central railway in disposing Of mil
lions of fine farms in it's land grant,
given by the state when the road was
constructed. For almost 60 years DR..
Pearsons has been active in real es-
tate. Investments that he made in
Chicago in the early years increased
thousandfold and have now been
sold.
Mr.. Pearsons gives the credit for
his philanthropic interests largely to
his wife, who died three years ago.
