WE notice by the public prints that
Congressman Fowler, OF New Jersey, has
challenged Senator Aldrich, OF Rhode
Island, TO a series of joint debates on the
question OF currency and banking. Up
to the hour OF going 10 press, Senator
Aldrich has not accepted the challenge.
Nor will he do so. He wouldn't il he
could and he couldn't if he would, for he
is not a tateSman-merely a figurehead
for the corporate interests OF the coun-
try, which would not permit him to ex-
pose himself so raShly. The debate
which Mr.. Fowler so ardently desires
will have to be one-Sided, so far as Mr..
Aldrich is concerned.

WHEN President TAFT recently visited
President Diaz on the border between
Texas and Mexico, the saloons were
closed for five hours previous to his arri-
val as a precaution for safety. This was
a wise action. And why not close them
permanently for the safety OF the people
in general? President Taft Is not the on
ly person whose life is precious.

WE admit the entire improbability Of
defeating Joseph q. Cannon for re-elec-
ton as long as he chooses to run for
Congress from his present benighted
district, for the reason that he will never
lack for campaign argument suited TO
the said district while the trusts and the
whiSkeY interests have shot in the
locker. Nevertheless, it is quite likely
that Cannonism will soon be thing OF
the past, not by direct attacks upon him,
but because OF the removal Of those who
support him for obvious reasons. All
over the West there is a fight against
those Congressman who have been his
SubServient tools, and when patriotic
Representatives shall have been elected
in their places the head OF the corrupt
tyrant will fall.

IF the managers OF the Hagerstown and
Frederick fairs are wise they will abolish
the whiSkey saloons upon the fair grounds
There is very strong sentiment both in
Frederick and Hagerstown against the
perpetuation of these nuisances, and the
directors will do well to heed it. The
people who do most for the fairs are not
those who crowd these points-they are
those who seriously object TO the annoy
ance TO which they are subjected by the
indecent and offensive conduct OF drunk
en- men. The fairs do not need the faint
ed moneythey receive from this source land
their directors ought to set up a higher
standard of morality and entertainment.

Wood will go to her home in Boston,
and Mr.. Aal will join her there, and
for life.
Mr.. Aa1 is a nephew of Mr.. Frank

INTRODUCE LAWS FOR
LIQUOR WHOLESALERS
COUNCILMEN WOULD CHANGE
ORDINANCES
Proposed to Permit Dealers to Sell
Reduced Quantities, but to
Make Them Close
Earlier

An ordinance to reduce the quantity
a wholesale liquor dealer may sell in
original packages was introduced into
the deliberations of the city council
yesterday afternoon by Councilman
Lyon. The reduced quantity suggest
ed is ten ounces, or what Is called the
commercial pint.
To offset this increased privilege, IN
a measure, Councilman Wren intro
duced an ordinance compelling whole
sale houses to close at $3.50 o'clock at
night instead of o'clock as Is now the
case. He strongly favored the ordl-
nance ~ reduce the quantity. other
members of the council were in favor
Of the ordinance, but as it was con-
sidered important the matter was laid
over until September rs, when the
members of the council now on leaves
of absence will be back and can take
a hand in the matter.
Wren told the council that under the
nresent limitations of one-httn OF
Gallon il was necessary for whole
sale liquor dealer to break the spirit
of the law in selling some goods.
Most of the foreign liquors ana
cordials come in quantities or ten
ounces, or a commercial pint anu 1t ~
impossible for wholesale dealer 10
Leen the law and sell these goods. SO
to make up the difference the dealer
throws in a bottle of beer. In TINS
wav he Is technically inside the law
but is violating it in spirit.
"A wholesale dealer, as deflned py
our ordinances, is not a wholesaler at
all. He is a retailer in orginal pack
ages and it is the intent of the law as
n stands on our statute books that he
shouId be a retailer in this form. The
word wholesale is a misnomer."

of School and Building Plans
Assume Some Degree of
Dsfiniteness

Preparations for the building of the
new Occidental college are reaching
some degree of definiteness. Though
the site of the new buildings has not
been finally decided on, there seems
little doubt that land at the junction of
Eagle Rock and New York valleys.
which has been offered to the board of
directors as the college site, will be
accepted. Formal announcement OF
the definite selection of this location IS
expected in the near future.
other locations offered have been
considered, but it is believed a ma
jority of the board now are in favor
of the site in question.
Survey of the region has been made,
and II acres of the land are shown to
be fitted for the purpose to which it Is
to be put. Additional acreage will be
secured, it is said, for the erection of
a Greek theater and observatory, which
have been planned for the new col

FORMER MANAGER OF CLUB
PROVES SALE OF PROPERTY
Man Charged with Violating Liquor
Laws Is Freed - Associate
Forfeits BaiF and
Disappears

Because of insufficient evidence
against Frank Haddock, former pro-
prietor of the Bohemia club, the case
charging him with violating the liquor
ordinance was dismissed by Police
Justice Chambers yesterday on motion
of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Sey-
mour. Harry j. Miller, secretary of
the club, charged with similar of
fense, failed to appear Tuesday and
the case was continued one day. When
he failed to make his appearance his
bond of 5000 was declared forfeited and
a bench warrant was issued for his
arrest.
Although Haddock and Miller were
tried once before, when the jury disa-
greed, it was not learned until the case
was brought to trial that Haddock had
a bill of sale, showing he had disposed
of his interest in the place before the
alleged violation of the liquor ordi-
nance.
With this showing yesterday the mo-
ton for dismissal of the case against
Haddock was made by the prosecut-
ing attorney.
So far the police have been unable
to locate Miller and he is thought to be
out of the city.

slipped from the room and when ac-
costed by one of the nurses stated he
was going to- the bathroom. He then

HASSAYAMPANS
TO CELEBRATE
ARIZ0NANS WILL FR0LIC AT
VENICE TODAY
GOOD TIME PLANNED BY FORMER
RESIDENTS OF TERRITORY
After Day of Pleasure at Beach, Menu
bers of the Club viii Return
to Los Angeles for
Theater Party

"Will you help the HASA yampa club
of Los Angeles celebrate at Venice to-
day?" is the question which every
Arizonan or former resident of the ter
ritory is now being asked at least three
or four times a day. And nine times
out of ten the reply is in the affirma-
tive. For preparations have been COM
pleted by the Hassayampa club of Los
Angeles to entertain several thousand
persons, members of the organization,
residents of Arizona and former resi-
dents of the territory, today at Venice.
There will be boating, swimming, fire.
works and all the hundred and one de-
tails which go to make up gala time
when a bunch like the members of the
Hassayampa club get together
After the big doings at Venice, and
Fred McCarver Of the beach city is
making every effort to entertain the
club members in a suitable manner,
there will be a reception at the Los
Angeles chamber of mines, followed by
Arizona night at the Orpheum theater.
At Venice every attraction will either
be free to those wearing the insignia of
Hassayampa or will be opened at a
greatly reduced rate.
At the Hollenbeck hotel nearly 300
members have already registered, and
f. r. O'Brien, who has the registration
bureau In charge, predicts that before
long many more will have signed the
volume. Following the celebrations at
Venice and Los Angeles, an election of
officers will be held. Although 1t is
not yet definitely known just who will
be the candidates 1t is whispered that
Judge Purcell of Tucson will assuredly
be elected president. The election prob
ably will be held Monday, August 30.

geles who are wearing the badge of the
Hassayampa club there are also large
number of persons who are unfamiliar
with the origin of this rather unusual
word. The name is taken from a small
river of Arizona and was chosen as a
true characterization of the traits Of
residents of that state. AS Achilles was
dipped in the river Styx in order that
he might prove invulnerable, so are
those who as much as drink of the
water of the river of Hassayampa sup
posed to be affected, but in different
manner. The saying is that one who
has tasted of the limpid waters Of this
little stream which flows through many
miles of country and turns into para
disc that otherwise would have been
desert is thereafter unable to save a
cent, tell a truth or leave the country.
And history has 1t that many members
of the Hassayampa club are living IL
lustration of this legend.
The members of the club who are
plotting todays outing are c. c. Shan
non of Clifton, president, and j. S.
Mitchell of Los Angeles, secretary and
treasurer. The committee of arrange
ment is Oscar Roberts. chairman, and
w. r. McNally of Globe; N. S. Berry
