companied by their father. John R..

ern district of Oklahoma, and Incl

in Las Vegas last evening about 6:3O
o'clock, coming across the mountains
from Santa Fe, where for the past
few days the boys have been guests
at the executive mansion, where they
were wined and dined by Governor
Curry.
The details of the wonderful endur-
ance feat being performed by these
youngsters were given too recently
by The Optic to need repetition at
this time, Suffice to say that the boys
started on horseback from their
fathers ranch, 200 miles southwest Of
Guthrie, Okla. seven weeks ago for
an overland trip to Santa Fe. on In

SECRET OF FACT THAT HE

Arden, N. Y. Sept. SIN answer
to a note from the newspapermen,
pointing out that wild rumors which
were still in circulation, had not been
set at rest by previous statements
concerning Mr. Harriman's condition
DR.. Lyle issued the following signed
statement at noon:
"Mr. Hartman is better today"
The welcome blast Of the whistle

quiet.
During last night lights in the man

watch outside believed the master o.
the estate lay critically i'll. Guards
were doubled and none were allowed
to approach the house.
While Dr. Lyle, the personal physi-
clan, did not talk with visitors, him
self, he sent word that there was no
need of a new bulletin as there has
been no change since the announce
ment of relapse on Sunday night.
He asserted, however. that Mr.. Har-
riman was in no immediate danger.
1t was not contradicted. however,
that Hartman was a very sick man.
Employees on the estate say all regard
his condition as extremely critical
and there is no doubt but that his
is very low. Several noted
specialists have made an examination
and have decided that there can be
no operation till Hartman is stronger.

Sends Message to London>
London, Sept. S.-The Reuter- Tele-
graph company received a telegram
from Peaty today sent from Indian
Harbor, announcing that Cooks Arctic
expedition went no considerable dis
tance north and was never out Of
sight Of land From this It is evil
dent that Peary does not believe
Cooks story that he (Cook) reached
the north pole.
The direct challenge to Cooks story
cabled by Peary today has given
marked impetus to the growing ten
dency in scientific circles to regard
Cooks claims with suspicion. The
papers are almost unanimous in their
statements that Peary's message has
thrown down the fabrication built up
by Cook and that it marks the begin
ming of controversy which will be
historic. All state that Cooks lecture
in Copenhagen last night was disap-
pointing. so far as convincing proof
was concerned.
"Don't Worry About Cook"
New York. Sept, S.-The text of a
private telegram from Peary to his
wife today reads:

about Cook Esquimos say Cook

firms. Meet me at Sydney"
German Explorer Defends Cook
Berlin, Sept. S.-Herr Baschin. the
German explorer, in an interview to-
day says most German scientists can
not understand the attack on DR..
Cook by Peary, as it is not the custom
to attribute falsehoods to explorers in
unknown regions. Most Of the polar
discoveries are made by an explorer
alone, or with few Eskimos. The
measurements of Peary and Cook
were taken alone and no witness is in

COMING CHANGE IN
 BUSINESS CIRCLES The Telephone Office Will Be Moved, Also Windes' Real Estate
 Office.

Within the next two months there will be several changes in business circles in town. The telephone office will be moved from it's present loca- ton above Laird & Dimes drug store to the office now occupied by R. A. Windes. This being on the ground floor will be much more convenient to the public. The telephone company will occupy the entire room, part of which is now used by the Tempe Light & Power Company, and it is un- derstOod wilb make extensive improve ments. The room will be papered and painted and a first-class office will be made.
 MT. Windes has already provided against being left without a place to call home and has contracted for the construction of an office just across the street on the lot he recently pur- chased from Thompson Walker. The building will be 25x3O feet with a false back. which will permit of an extension the full depth of the build ing at a later date if desired. The material used will be pressed cement blocks and the contract has been let to Messrs. Skinner and COsner. The building will be finished on or before November 1.

A GOOD ATTENDANCE
 AT NORMAL SCHOOL
A NICE INCREASE OVER LAST
 YEAR.
The Results of High Schools ecom-
 ing Apparent.

The Normal may now be said to be down to business. Day before yester- day classes were organized and yes terday recitations were held for the first time. From now on the work will be regular and no more time will be lost. While all the students have not returned yet. the attendance is very satisfactory. The enrolment yester- day was 197, an increase of twelve over the attendance at the same time a year ago. of this number there are but forty boys. The dOrmitories are comfortably filled. In the boys dor mitory there are twenty students and at the girls hall eighty young ladies.
 It is noticeable this year that the effect of the many high schools in the territory is beginning to be felt. The junior class this season is much larg- CT than it ever was before, consider ably larger than the senior class, num- bering in the fifties. This is ac- counted for by the large attendance of graduates from the high schools who are admitted to the normal in the junior year.
 Altogether. the opening of the nor nal this year is very gratifying to the faculty and there is every indication that the years work will be highly successful.

THE PAPERS SERVED
 IN A DAMAGE SUIT
In Which the A. J. Peters Company
 Is Named as Defendant.

Deputy Wayne Davis of Phoenix was here yesterday serving papers in the damage suits that have been filed against A. J. Peters and the A. J. Peters company. The suits have been been filed, one by Loran Dana of Mesa for S1.555 and the other by Er- nest CrismOn of the same place for a much larger amount, $3.5S5. Both suits are the outcome of the recent fire in Mesa, wherein the Peters company lost several hundred tons of hay and wherein MT. Dana and Mir Crimson both suffered losses by the conflagra- tion estimator at the amounts above stated. r. is the contention of the two plaintiffs that it was due to care lessness and neglect on the part of Mexicans working for the defendant that the fire was caused, wherefore they seek judgment for the amount of damage sustained.
