The dig natries of the church care as little for Abdul Hamid as does the commit tee Of union and progress. but the higher clergy are seeking to curb the agitation of the enthusiasts of the Mo hammedan league.

CHIEF MYERS
 MAKING NAME
 IN HE FAST
Was Formerly With the Differ
 ent Arizona Clubs, Where
 He Was Well Thought of- Notes of Ring and Diamond

Jack Meyers. the indian catcher, who a few years ago played on ball
 teams in Phoenix, Prescott, Clifton and other Arizona towns, is the sen satino of the hour in New York base ball circles because or his wonderful hitting with the New York ants
 While he played with the Phoenix team about four years ago. Meyers was better known as Big Chief than by his right name. He was a popu- lar idol even during his days in Arl- zona. being a crack catcher and eer- tain hitter.
 When Meyers came to the bat the fans supporting the team with which he was playing always took new hope while the fans who were pulling for the other team waited with bated breath until the Indian got through.
 Meyers is now winning games for the Giants by his hitting just the same as he did for Phoenix or any other team in Arizona with which he was playnis. He has a wonderful batting eye. is not afraid of the pitcher and uses great judgment in placing his hits.
 Meyers halls from Riverside. Cal. and he is known there as one of the
 Fortos boys all of whom are famed for their athletic prowess. Under the name of Tortos he played football at Dartmouth few years ago. He was ruled of the baseball team because it was discovered that he had played professional ball
 At Dartmouth he often burned the midnight oil and thus made up for time lost by excursions to nearby towns where he played baseball to help pay his expenses through col lege.
 After leaving college he played in Arizona and put in part of a season with the Harrisburg team of the Fri. State league. The next season found him at Butte. Mont, from where he was drafted by the St. Paul cluh. With tail-end team last season. his work stood out so prominently that the New York club bought him in |

 The following day a neighh5r of the McMahons went to the henhouse to gather eggs.

DONAHUE HAS
 FINALLY LOST
 E.P.8S.W. SUIT
Douglas Mans Long Fight With Southwestern Ends in Supreme Court in Corpora tion's Favor

Hon. r. F. Ellinwood Of this city. yesterday afternoon received a tele- gram from Washington to the effect that the case of Michael Donohoe yer sus the Fl Paso and Southwestern Railroad company, which was decid- ediby the court of Arizona in favor of the corporation, and which was ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of the United States by Donohoe, mad been decided in favor of tho railroad, af- arming the decision of the territorial tribunals
 The case which has been fought long and bitterly originated when the Fl Paso and Southwestern laid it's tracks upon a certain piece of land near the city of Douglas. belonging to Donohoe. For nearly three years the company operated trains over this part Of its right of way. when Don ohoe instituted an action in the dis trict court to compel the company to tear up it's tracks and switches upon his land and to cease the operation of trains thereon. The case was de- cided in favor of the defendant corpo ration in the district court. and was taken by'the attorneys for the Douglas " Ai4t hubAN4tiG tOuAA St tue LEt ritory. where the decision of the lower court was affirmed.
 Not satisfied with this. Donohoe took the matter before the highest judicial tribunal in the land, the Su- preme Court of the United States There the affair was reheard with the result as told in Mir. Ellinwood's telegram.
 The decision handed down by the United States supreme court means that the railroad will be allowed to continue the operation of trains over it's right of way covering the Donohoe property.
 In the suit. since it's inception. the Fl Paso and Southwestern company has been represented by the legal firm of Herring. Sorin & Ellinwood

Maricopa Chapter of Daughters of Revolution Desirous of Securing Money to Further Noble Cause

A circular letter has been received by several local educators from the Maricopa chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Phoe- nix, requesting their cooperation and that of their pupils n re,slng funds for memorial and historical work fin Arizona.
 While the primary object of the so- ciety was. to perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence. their work is not confined to the revolutionary period entirely.
 As a result of eighteen ears of loyal. intelligent work a traveller over the highways of America yh- loves his country and it's history will sure " delight in reading by the wayside It's stories. written in tablets. monu- ments and historical arches. each telling it's own story of time and place, action and actor. and when and ty whom history was made.
 This territory is rich in deeds of historic value which were vital in the founding of the greatest country on earth and should never be fogot- ten or their memory never allowed to pale.
 The brave pioneers who blazed the trail of civilization through the wiids of the western plains. who faced death upon the great American desert, only to arrive In a country where the flash of the Apache rife on the hillside marked the passage into the great unknown of many of these noblemen of nature. should not be forgotten and are just as worthy of a place in the history of the land as any man who ever carried arms in the defense of the country.
 The patriotic women and children of the west have rallied to the aid of the Daughters of the Revolution :u their work of preserving ahd marking the great trials over which the no neers of the west travelled on tleir way from their old bones ir the far away east to their new ones m ,he great southwest.
 The story of these great trails reads Ike an epic and the historic spots in this territory are al associated with as much suffering. as many acts of manly heroism and womanly bray cry as is recorded in the annals of mankind. and this work being done by the Daughters should unite all DOT tions of the territory in a common cause in thus honoring the men and women who faced every hardship, every trial and every danger which pioneers in any country must endure
