THE MAN FROM FIVE MILE TOWN
Romantic Tales of Missing Heirs
By William M. Clemens

THE Public Administrator brought my
i attention to the matter" remarked the
lawyer. He has something like seven thou
sand dollars in his possession, money in bank
to the credit of the late John McCrary. The
man died last October, leaving no known rel
alive. 1t was Coroner's case; but there is
absolutely no information at the Coroners
office. The records merely show that John
McCrary fell CIT of window on East 32d-st.
and was instantly killed"
What about the records at the Board of
Health?" asked Jimmy Fox.
There is the certificate of death, of course,
replied the lawyer. "McCrary was sixty-four
years old; born in Ireland came to America
in 1868; occupation, Waterman; fathers and
mothers names unknown; place of burial,
Calvary Cemetery
And there is seven thousand dollars in the
savings bank?" queried Fox.
"Yes, payable to any relative of McCrary's
that we are lucky enough to find. We can
easily obtain two thousand-dollar fee in this
case, if we are successful" added Sargent.
NOW see what you can do.
THE following day began the investigation
I into the rather uneventful life and negative
character of John McCrary. For twenty years
he had been night Waterman in the city's
wholesale district He had roomed in various
localities, latterly with family on East 32d-st,
and ate his meals in various restaurants. He
had saved his money, was supposed to have
never married, and it was foregone conclusion
that Ireland was his fatherland There were
neither letters nor papers among his few posses
sions, and not single relative was known
In the hooks and corners of the big city on
the following day score of men were found
who had known McCrary during his lifetime;
but there was no new information. A long and
tiresome journey to Calvary Cemetery and
search of the burial records disclosed the grave
of John McCrary in public lot, grass grown
neglected.
AS a last resort, the city directories exte1
back for fifty years were searched year by yeal
1898 John McCrary had lived on West Housto
and in 1889 on Greenwich-ave., and finally still
ing the name backward, was found in the director

decision of the territorial supreme court has been left in such a chaotic condition that it is impossible for them to intelligently follow the man. date of the court.
 Complying with the mandate of the supreme court they entered an order on their minute book directing that the $50,O00 in bonds be advertised and sold on the 30th day of June If the appeal directed to be taken is perfected within the next twenty days this order for the sale of bonds will not be carried out.
 The attorney general of the territory will represent the board of supervis- DTS before the supreme court without charge to the county that being a part of his official duty, and the cost of talk ing the appeal will be very small, but will necessarily delay the construction of the court house indefinitely. prob ably until after the next session of the territorial legislature convenes. when additional legislation can be had and more funds with which to build court house provided.
 In the matter of taking an appeal the supervisors voted unanimously.

THE STORY OF TUNGSTEN.

On the work bench in the labora- tory of the General Electric works, before the powerful electric furnace sat a small evapOrating dish contain ing a handful of bright. steel gray powder of a peculiar metallic lustre.
 What is that2" l asked with true journalistic curiosity.
 That" answered the scientist shak- ing the dish and disturbing the bright metal particles, why. that is TunG- sten, son of Phoebus, who gives us sunshine by night"
 I had to confess that l did not un- derstand his metallurgical metaphor.
 That little handful of powder there" he explained, will make more than a thousand filiaments for the new incandescent electric lamps. The filaments made from this rare metal, tungsten, will not only give a pure white light closely allied to actual sunlight, but will give the same quantity of light as the old carbon filament lamp for one-third the cur rent. Consider the million of cleo tric lights burned daily in the world and you can begin to grasp the inn portance of this wonderful metal, which has leaped into such promi- hence and value in the last few months It is saving the users of electric light millions of dollars every day"
 Every since the discovery of the incandescent electric lamp by Thomas A Edison twenty-five years ago thou sands of inventors and scientists
Arizona republican., 1909-05-17

have been trying to improve upon the lamp. The original incandescent lamp filaments were made of carbonized strips of bamboo, which later were discarded in favor of the carbon fila ments manufactured from cotton eel lulose.
 These lamps were the limit of eX- travagance, as 9S per cent of the electrical energy was wasted in use less heat, while only per cent turn ed into light. The scientists tried and are still trying hard to initiate nature and produce an electric lamp which will reverse these conditions and utilize nearly gil the energy for light in the same way as the natural electric light is produced by glow worms and fire flies.
 All attempts to make metal fila ments failed, because they melted before they could be raised to incan- descence. It remained for Dr. Werner Von Bolton, of German, to discover a few years ago d method of produc- ing a pure form of filaments. This new lamp saved over a third of the current formerly consumed and gave beautiful white light.
 Tantalum is a rare metal found by the scientist Ekeberg, in 1903, in a material obtained from Finland. It is black in color with metallic luster and is so hard that it is soluble only in hydrofluoric acid. The ores from which this metal is extracted are found in only a few places on this earth. Pure tantalum is harder than the hardest steel, and can barely be scratched with a diamond; it will not rust; it's fusing point is exceedingly high: it may be rolled into the thin nest sheets or drawn into the finest wire. At first the metal, which is of

YUMA SUPERVISORS
 60 ID HIGHEST COURT
They Will Not Issue the Court House
 Bonds.

The board Of supervisors of Yuma county will resist the mandate of the supreme court ordering a bond issue for court house.
 The Yuma Sun of Saturday says:
 The board of supervisors at their special meeting yesterday decided to prosecute an appeal from the decision of the supreme court of the territory in the matter of the mandamus pro ceedings to compel the supervisors to sell bonds and build. a court house in Yuma county. They directed Dis trict Attorney w. F. TimmOns to take up the matter with the attorney gen eral of the territory at once, and prepare and perfect an appeal to the supreme court of the United States. Mir. Timmons will go to Phoenix at once and in conjunction with the attorney general the appeal papers will be prepared and the ap peal taken at once and a final adjud- ication of the matter be had by the supreme court of the land. District Attorney Timmons does not agree with the decision of the supreme court of the territory in it's findings and be- lieves that if the case is taken to the supreme court the territorial supreme court will be reversed. The board of Supervisors say that the courthouse bill by the act of congress and the

A PUBLIC DISCUSSION
 OF LIQUOR QUESTION
Eminent Divine and Physician Will Address Meeting Called by the Brewers.

Atlantic City. N. J, May 11-(Spe- cial Correspondence of The RepUbli- can)-It has been decided by the United States Brewers association to have a public session on Wednesday evening, June ?, the second day of it's national convention, when that body meets next month. The meet ing will be addressed by eminent publicists, who have been invited to express their views with the utmost frankness.
 One of the speakers will be the Rev Dr. John P. Peters, rector of St Michaers Protestant Episcopal church in New York, and chairman of the Committee of Fourteen, which was organized for the suppression of the Raines law hotels. This commit tee has invited the cooperation of the brewing trade, and of the bonding companies. and under their joint ac- tion, a number of the most objection able resorts in New York City have been closed. Dr. Peters was professor of Hebrew at the University of Penn sylvania in 1885, and prior to that, professor of Old Testament languages and literature in the P. F. Divinity school at Philadelphia. He had charge of the expedition of the University of Pennsylvania to Babylonia, con
