Two Deaths Yesterday and
Conditions Today Are Still
Worse

Chicago, July 29.-No immediate re-
lief was in sight today from the op-
pressiye heat which yesterday caused
two deaths and a number of prostra-
tions. Following a night of extreme
discomfort. due chiefly to the intense
humidity of the atmosphere, the ther-
mometer today was So, two degrees
above the record for the previous day.
A light shower, which occurred early,
gave promise of a break in the torrid
wave, but instead the heat became

President Of Nat's Baseball
League Struck Ont ssy
Last Game
HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM
MElANCHOL|A FOR LONG TINE
Rash Act Which Ended His Life Was
Not Expected, However, and His In
ability to State the Reasons Leaves
the Motive for the Act q Mystery.

New York. July 29.-Harry G. Pull
liam, president of the National league
of professional baseball clubs, died
at $40 q. m. today, as the result Of
q self-inflicted wound with a pistol
shot last night.
Standing in the center of his room
ON the third floor of the New York
Athletic club, Mr.. Pulliam held q re-
volver to his right temple. He fired
only one shot. 1t went in at the right
temple and came out seven inches
away on the left side of his head. The
bullet destroyed the right eye and
passed through the upper part of the
left.
He regained consciousness for some
time after the shooting. Mr.. Pulliam
in falling to the floor, apparently dis
lodged the receiver of a telephone
which was standing on table nearby.
The operator on the ground floor an
swering the signal got no reply and
sent bell boy to Pulliam's room to
find out what was the matter. He
found the baseball magnate lying on
the floor, half clad. The boy hurried
down and gave the alarm. DIR. Hig-
gins, club physician, was hastily sum-
moned. MIR. Pulliam, although still
conscious and able to speak, appeared
to be too confused to answer the ply
ician's questions.
lnc0herent Answers.
Coroner Physician Shrady, who ar
r1ved half an hour after the shooting,
assisted DR.. Higgins in attending the
wounded mans needs. Both of them
attempted to get some explanation
from the baseball president. But he
continued too dazed to give coherent
answers. The coroner physician, lean
Ing close to Puniam's ear, asked show
H: why did you shoot yourself !''---
There was no reply. He repeated
the question. Mr.. Pulliam reused
himself confusedly, and asked, "why,
whose shot?" Again the question was
lsked. This time all that the stricken
president could answer was a NUT
Iered, what, shot?"
The physicians decided that any fur
lher questioning was likely to endan-
ger Mr.. Pulliam's slim chance of re-
eovery. Assisted by club employees
they placed him in bed and did
everything in their power to relieve
him Of pain.
Although Mr.. Pulliam's act at this
ume was entirely unexpected some
)f his friends said that at the time
pf his recent illness it was known that
he was subject to severe attacks of
melancholia and his attendants were
reported fearful that he would make
In end cf his life.
No note or other explanation of the
suicide was found In the room. Pull
liam was born in Scottsville, KY, 80
years ago, and was successfully re-
porter and city editor of the Louis
Iille Commercial, president Of the
louisville baseball club. secretary and
treasurer Of the Pittsburg club and
president of the National league. to
which Office he was elected in 1902.

GARFIELD IT
Likely to Lead the Republican Party
in Ohio

washington, July 29-President Taft
and Senator Burton have worked up
quite a boom in Washington for James
r. Garfield for governor and reports
from Ohio are that the Garfield candi-
dacy has found a footing in at least
two districts. It Is no disparagement
to Mr.. Garfield to say that his biggest
asset Is the conviction that Theodore
Roosevelt would take the stump for
him. The fear of Governor Judson
Harmon has loomed so large n Ohio
Republican circles apparently that the
leaders think it will take the lion
hunter himself to handle the governor.
In the congressional campaign of
1910, with contnrol of the hSuse and SO
many senate seats at stake, Ohio will
be the pivotal state. The preliminary
skirmish of the 1912 presidential bat
tie will be fought in the Buckeye state.
This explains the feverish anxiety of
Ohio Republican leaders here, from
the president down, to get together
thus early, il possible, upon the strong
est available candidate.
Not IrrevOcable
OF course, the present booming of
Mr.. Garfield does not guarantee his
selectionn as the party's candidate.
The present sympathetic attitude to-
ward his boom of President Taft, SEN
ator Burton, certain Ohio members of
the house and others does not mean
that they are irrevocably committed
to his nomination. They are trying
the Cleveland man out, to see how he
would run IL entered in the race. of
next fall.
The first serious talk of Mr.. Gar
field heard here seemed all to trace
back to Senator Burton. It is GER
tain that he has asked most of the
Ohio people whom he has seen here
this winter for their opinion of Mr..
Garfield as a gubernatorial candidate,
and also for their opinion of the, es-
timation In which their home folks
hold Garfield. 1t was same time be-
fore it developed that white house vis-
itors were being asked the same line
of questions.
More recently Wade H. Ellis. assist
ant to the attorney general, made
what looked like a careful canvass of
Ohio Republican Representatives as to
their opinions on the governorship adm
on the availability or MIR. Garfield.
Where these advances of his met any
thing like favorable reception Ellis
argued with enthusiasm for the Gar
field candidacy. 4
Eighth and Eighteenth Hist
Reports have been received here
from Ohio that strong sentiment for
Garfield exists in at least the eighth
and eighteenth districts. tt is said
that recent campaign speeches deliv-
cred by the former secretary of the
interior in the eighth produced the SEN
timent in that district. OF course.
the attitude of Senator Burton would
seem to promise Garfield the stout
support Of Cuyahoga county.
. It is worth notice that with all this
Garfield talk in Washington, one hears
next to nothing of other boomlets
launched from time to time at home.

PEACH
 CROP IN CITY
Mrs. Fletcher Demonstrates Fruit Culture Possibilities in
 Arizona and Bisbee
SUN KISSED FRUIT SUCH
 AS WIN GOLD MEDALS

To the optimistic claiming that the raising of perfect peaches in Arizona or even in Bisbee ar that matter, is an impossibility they have but to take walk up Tomb. stone canyon to the orchards oc Mrs. Jacob Fletcher, located on what is known as Wood canyol.
 Peaches, and big ones. of tempt. ing. dainty flush. such as are grown in Delawa-.a. ars there. sixteen trees strong. four Of clings and twelve of the free-stone variety. Owing to the activity of the birds, Mrs. Fletcher has seen fit to pick many of the ciings, which were brought to the city last night and distributed among ler friends.
 The .clings are of the finest speci. mems and. most striking of all. are already ripe. This is an exceptional record in almost any cline, and 1t Is all due to Mrs. Fleteher's careful at tention to her garden. In the orchard are also several apple trees whica give promise of bearing considerable fruit despite the early frost.
 Just one week ago Mrs. Fletcher made the first picking of peaches, and fof that reason she has just claim to the honor of having produced the first ripe peaches. not only in Bisbee and Arizona, but even throughout the en. tire southwest By the Fourth sie expects to gather a heavy crop of the free-stone variety, more luscious than the clings and more denonstrative of the fact that she has mastered ths fruit-growing science in Arizona. And just one sixty-five-foot well of the strong-arm variety with which to do all the watering. too.

B|SBEE ASKED TO
 JOIN ELKS' LEAGUE

That plans for aI Eiks baseball league. to be composed of teams from the various B. P. O. B. lodges of the territory, are now under way, is the information that comes from Tucson. The league will probably be organized by next fan and a series Of games may be played during fair week in November.
 Captain Charles Pishon of the Phoenix Elks team has received a letter, from Manager Myers of the nine of Tucson longhorns, who wants the Phoenix Bills to play game in the old Pueblo. He also stated the project for the organization of an Elks league to Captain Pishon and invited the Phoenicians to sign up.
 A reply has been received stating that the Tucson Elks will be glad to join the league and will help along the proposition in every way possi-- ble.
 Tucson and Globe both have. B. \ o. E. teams which have agreed to go into the league and Bisbee and Doug las have been invited into the or ganization. IL is hoped that the Pres colt Elks may also be induced to join.
 It is Captain Pishon's idea to have series during fair week and do nate all the proceeds, aside from the expenses to charity. The Elks them selves want nothing except the fun Of playing.
 At present Phoenix probably has the best longhorn team in the terri tory. despite the fact that they were defeated T. to Is in Prescott Sun day.

 ed to Reign Supreme

The popularity of Miss Thomas was so much in evidence that upon the mention of her name, the nominations were Immediately closed and the vote was made unanimous by exclamation.
 As Queen of the Carnival. Miss Thomas will undoubtedly reign with unquestioned supremacy. Pretty, at tractiye and with the natural grace of born queen she will fill the posi- tion in a manner becoming to the city and the camps many fair daughters, though in the majestic circle there will be three others, each pretty and each a fitting companion for the Queen
 These will be the three maids of. honor who will accompany the Queen in the parade about the city and later be in her waiting when Her Majesty opens the grand ball in the evening on the Copper Queen plaza. Garbed in royal raiment and carrying huge bouquets of rarest blossoms, the Queen and her maids will be prom. nent feature in the parade while rid. ing in an open carriage.
 By the sides of the carriage, ir which will be seated Miss Thomas Miss Loretta McKenna, Miss Dort Rihcards and Miss Mary Fitzpatrick will march the Queens guard, twelve warriors in costumes of the Louis XIV era. A guard of four will also march by the gaily caparisoned horses, The remaining duty of the Queen will be to open the grand ball at the plaza at which time her partner. in all probability. will be a man of promi' hence from out of the city.
 While in session, the committee de cided that streamers should be ex tended across and up and down Brewery Gulch, Subway or Seventh street, Main street and also at Low ell. which suburb is taking a very active part in the celebration In ad' dition there will be two arches near the plaza, these to be decorated in appropriate style and bearing the word of Welcome"

Before adjourning until Tuesday evening at o'clock. w. H. Fleming was selected to represent the Board of Trades interests at the ball games today and tomorrow. as well as at the three games to be played with Douglas.
