CLASSED AS AN
UNDESIRABLE CITIZEN

II was learned today that the
city engineers office has classed
Tom Maloney's forman of construc-
ton, o. p. Wiltermood, as an ''un-
desirable citizen" and because of
Maloney's refusal to dispense with
his services have held up setting
the stakes on the Eighth avenue
sewer SO long as Wiltermood is on
the job.
All public Improvement contracts
that pass the city engineers office
carry in the specifications a clause
that gives the engineer the right to
demand the discharge by the con-
tractor of any man in his employ
who is undesirable" The engl-
neer's office has placed Wilter-
mood in that category and refuse
to remove the ban. The men EN-
plOyed on the job refused to abide
by the order of the engineer ask
ing for the discharge of WiltermOOd
and as consequence work on the
Eighth avenue sewer is still tied up.

PEOPLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND
PUGH'S PECULIAR METHOD

1T seems strange to me- said
X. b. Martin of Opportunity, the OPP
pcncnt of graft in the court house,
that Prosecutor Pugh should find
it necessary to shift the RESPONSE
biiity Tor filing an information
against William M. Stafford on the
shoulders of d. w. Hurn, special
prosecutor. Mr.. Hurn was appoint
ed special prosecutor in the case
because of Stafford being an uncle
by marriage of Mr.. Pugh. Yet Mr..
Hurn has no legal status in the
case in the matter of filing an in
formation and that should be done
by Mr.. Pugh, the prosecuting attor-
ney, or someone in his office.
Mr. Pugh was present in the
grand jury room when the indict-
ment was considered; he knows the
facts, and there ought to be no oc-
casion for delay. He drew the in
dictment in the case of Cal Atkin-
son, county clerk, charged with re-
ceiving interest on trust funds, and
] understand from the newspapers
that Mr.. Pugh is also undecided
about filing an information in the
case of Atkinson, whose indictment
will probably suffer the same fate
as that of Stafford.
"Mr. Pugh seems to be very ener
getic in prosecuting the ragged l..
w. WIS for conspiracy, but is un-
decided what to do in the case OF

.MORENC| ELIMINATES COLON|A
 DUBLAN FROM TOURNAMENT
Mormon Team From Mexico Fut Out of Race Yesterday>>>Gossip of BaHfest
 at Pass City

National Commission, and printed n
 the Spaulding and Reach official
 guides, Rule B, Section 3, it says
 that Tn the event of the pitcher be-
 ing taken from the game by either
 manager or captain. the player sub
 stituted for him shall continue to
 pitch. until the batsman then at the
 bat has either been put out or has
 reached first in safety"
 Clearly Douglas got the worst of
 the decision and Capt. Wolfe did right in not allowing Thomas to return to the box and finish the game. There is absolutely nothing to prevent
 pitcher being taken from the box whenever a manager or captain 50 de cides.
 Speaking of forfeited games, an echo of that affair with Morenci which Umpire Kelly forfeited to Bis
 bee, g 70 0, because Morenci quit the field after trying to bulldoze Kelly into calling fair ball foul, has reach ed town in the shape of a clipping from the Morenci Leader.
 After a week or so of snooZlng. the sporting expert of that sheet suddenly jumps up, 'pTodded no doubt by Dean Woods and Bombastic Beefer WynEe, and in what was meant to be a scOreh- ing effusion lays Umpire Kelly and the sporting writer Of the Review iia> ble for the loss of the game. He be
 gins thusly:
 ''The Bisbee Review certainly has a
 'marveelus' sporting editor. When
 he began pushing the quill for nving i the farmers association lost g star member. We won the first game and luck was with us; we walk off the | tield in the second after a deliberate attempt on the part of the umpire (?l | to hand the game to Bisbee. and we are a bunch of pikers and quitters. l Of course, the writer of the above knows whereof he speaks. The word ! Of the Morenci players, after day or ! two of breeding over their alleged wrongs, is Q good deal better than l that of the umpire, who was on top ! of the play, and the aforesaid mar veelus'' writer who was no more than a score of feet from the spot where
 the disputed ball struck. Bisbee didn't i make any such outrageous hoiler and | throw up the sponge and quit at Mo renci when one Jones. who held the ! indicator beat Lou Woods out of a i home run with the score to 0 in the i sixth inning. Woods knocked one over the fence six feet inside the line
 and Jones called it a foul.

CARELESS SHOT
 CAUSES THREE FINES

Upon the charge of indlscriminate shooting three men wer fined yes terday by Justice Murphy at Lowell. They were Nick and Tcny Pelufi and Joe Miller, and were arrested upon the charge, upon warrant sworn to by David Branch, Sulphur Springs valley rsncher
 Branch. who lives with his father on his ranch four miles below Don Luis. appeared yesterday before the Lowell justice declaring that the three hunters. while shooting on his fathers property had fired at dove and having shot in his general direction the result was Ia Liberal peppering of his back with birJshot. The men were arrested and were brought into court. All pleaded gull ty at once to the charge although they declared that it was not want only done. but merely because they had not seen the complaining wit ness, that they had fired in his di- rection at all. In view of this a small fine only was assessed against them.
 Numerous complaints of inJiscrim- mate handling of guns which ranch CTS declare are fired without regard to direction so long as the game is brought down, have been received by the justices, although TO other warrant has been sworn out. In view of the fining of the three men yes terjay it would bahoove hunters to be more careful in future as any fine up to sSoe may be assessed for each offense.

Professor Philbrook. of the Bisbee schools, believes strenuously in flag days. Officially but one flag day is now being observed, June 14th, but MT. Philbrook believes that the sehoi- ars cannot see too much of the na- tion's emblem.
 In accordance with this idea he has arranged a long list of the nations natal days, which shall in the future be observed as flag days in the schools. On the days mentioned the teachers shall see that the nag is displayed at their schools, that it is saluted and that the meaning of the day is explained to the pupils. The flag shall also be displayed on the first and last day of each semester.
 Following is the list of the days de- signated as flag days:
 Labor day, first Monday in Septem Der: Discovery Of America, Oct. 12; Surrender of Cornwallis, Oct. 19; WI liam Cullen Bryant's birthday, Nov. 3; Whittiers birthday, Dec. IT; Christ mas.

Fl Paso's baseball tournament in connection with the Southwestern fair, is now in full swing and will continue until the fair closes. For the remainder of the tournament it will be necessary to play two games each day, as five teams are entered and each team must play the other.
