PEDRO PONCE'S MIND
 SUDDENLY GAVE WAY
Overcame, All at Once by Variety of
 alIucinations.

Pedro Ponce. who imagines he is Ponce de Leon, still engaged in the search for the mountain of perpetual youth. was tried before Probate Judge Phillips yesterday on a charge of in sanity and he was ordered committed to the insane asylum. Ponce was ar rested by Officer TrOutman on Sunday morning.
 Though he was bad enough before, he got worse after he was locked up. He passed Sunday night in an unbrok- en conversation with himself and de- veloped some new and startling hallu- cinations. He imagined among other things that he had discovered the Pa cific ocean and that he could speak a multitude of tongues.
 He was asked in court about the finding of the Pacific. He modestly admitted it, but he took no especial credit t5 himself for that for he said "any fool could have found it" That was evident; one going far enough west could not very well miss it
 This was sudden stroke of POnce's. His health has been good; he has been an industrious labOrer and was well liked by those who knew him. There was no sign of mental alteration until Saturday night when his mind went all at once.
 He came here about year ago from Mexico and has a wife and child.

 Buffalo, N. Y, May 1S, 1909. Editor Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Ariz.:
 Dear Sir:-The population of Phoe nix was inadvertently published in Doan's Directory of the United States as 1900 The book was circulated quite thoroughly in Phoenix and nat urally the error attracted instant at tention and we have been accused of inaccuracy.
 We wish to state that the growth of Phoenix has been noted by us and the estimate settled upon for the 1909 edi- tion of Doan's directory was about 15,- 0O0 In the process of typesetting cipher was dropped and the population of Phoenix came out in proof as 1,50O and this escaped the notice of the proofreaders.
 The error was entirely unintentional and we are glad to say that very few such mistakes have been found in the book as unpublished. We are now work ing on the 1910 edition of Doan's Di- rectory and will see to it that Phoenix is given proper credit for the popula- ton which we now understand to be ls,000 to 10000.
 We would also suggest that your To- cal board of trade prepare some adver tising matter in the form of a leaflet or circular to be inserted in the out side correspondence of your local mer- chants. for we find there is little Idea in the east of the extent of the growth in population of the Arizona cities. It would bring people to Phoenix if the general public were informed what busy and up- to- date city it is.
