The Result of MI. Adams
 First Brief Effort THIRD OF PHOENIys SHARE
Contributed in a Few Min utes Yesterday Afternoon. Probability That the Stake Will Swell Far Beyond Its Intended Proportions.

Commissioner J. C. Adams finds it easier to get up the Arizona Copper Stake" than he thought it would be and he was pretty optimistic in the beginning. His first idea was that the stakes should be S1O,OO0. That would be sufficient to bring the best horses of the country here after the racing elsewhere is over, provided the owners could be assured that the race would be a go
 Frequently when the entries are deemed insufficient, the race is de clared off but in this case it was pro posed to let owners know that the stake is up to be competed for by two horses or by forty.
 IL was estimated that only about s6000 would have to be subscribed for a $10.0O0 stake; the rest of 1t would be made up in entrance fees. Mir Adams figured that Phoenix ought to contribute 5000 and he started out yesterday afternoon to see how much he could get of it Everybody seemed desirous of taking part Beginning with the Arizona Republican, MT. Ad- ans secured twenty $50 subscriptions
  and get that many more but he did not want to do all the work in one day. Therefore he knocked off early.
 It is quite probable that the stake will be built up considerably beyond the original plans, say to a s15,000 stake or a S2O,OOO. In that case there is not a horseman in the country who would not look longingly toward Phoenix about fair time and those who have the best horses would make a journey this way.
 The following is a copy of the sub scription list as it looked yesterday afternoon when MT. Adams returned to the hotel after a brief stroll about town:
 We the undersigned citizens of Ari- zona hereby subscribe the amounts set opposite our names, for. the Arizona Copper Stake" to be raced for at the Arizona Territorial Fair of 1909.
 All of the conditions, management and division of said stake shall be de- termined by the commissioners of the Arizona Territorial Fair.

Men Who Look After Complaints Are
Given Four Rooms in Tajo
Building to Transact
Their Business

The branch office of the district OF
torney's office, which for nearly year
has occupied cramped quarters, con-
sisting of two small rooms at the cen
trail police station, was moved to more
commodious rooms in the Tajo build
ing, across the street from the police
station.
The deputy district attorneys handle
more than three-fourths of the cases
tried in police courts and have been
working OF a considerable disadvantage
-four men being compelled to conduct
the business of the office, listen to
complaints and talk over matters of
Importance in two small rooms, which
usually were crowded to the limit by
policemen, attorneys and persons seek
ing complaints or asking advice.
Often when the matter was such as
to demand the greatest secrecy it was
necessary for the district attorneys to
hold a conference in small room re-
served for juries on the top floor of the
building.
The new office of the deputy district
attorneys consists of four large rooms
on the third floor of the Tajo building.
The last desk was moved from the
old office yesterday afternoon, and
Paul Mccormick. Arthur Keetch, Har-
ny Alexander and Arthur Veitch de-
ciared they could handle business in a
better manner now that they are not
so cramped for room.
Stenographer Russell, who does the
typewriting for both the city proSecu-
tor and the deputy district attorneys,
probably will move his desk to the
Tajo suite, as most of the stenographic
work is done for that office.
