THREE INTERESTING
 CASES AWAIT TRIAL

DOUGLAS, Sept. 30- (SpeciaD -
 Three cases are awaiting the arriv al of the district attorney or of E. J. Flanigan, his assistant, for hearing. These are the cases of Lamb, Gran son and Miller. All are set for Fri day or Saturday in the expectation that the district attorneys office will be represented here by that time.
 Lamb has entered a plea of not guilty to the charge entered against him under the vagrancy act and will fight the case through Richardson and Doan who this morning tele- phoned Judge Rice to know when the hearing was set for.
 Attorney Sames appeared in court for Cranson this morning and stated that his client was ready to appear at any time designated and an agree ment for hearing was reached. this to be Friday. This is the charge Of aggravated assault preferred py a woman.
 The Miller case is one of forcible detainer. He was in arrears to the Gadsden Hotel company and left his key at the office. On his return he was refused the key and went up stairs where he broke in the door and entered the room.

UNDESIRABLES SCARCE AT
 DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS. Sept 30 (SpeciaD -
 The work of city purihcation is go- ing on merrily. The officers report noticeable falling of of the unde- sirable men against whom the cru sade is being carried on and last night a new move was made in an other and entirely new direction.
 There has been complaint made from time to time that some of the rooming houses were little better than designation houses, and that wo- men of the restricted district left the reservation. The former point is diff. ficult to prove for it is almost impos- sible to get evidence that a proprie' tor has knowledge of the presence of women in his or her house in rooms engaged by men who have no women with them when the rooms are being engaged. When a conviction is ob, tained it will mean a fine of $500.
 On the other hand it is easy for the officers to ascertain when any of the women of the red light district are up town out of hours, for they are all nown and a little detective work is all that is necessary.

The evangelist had found a little poem. The Lost Sheep" in . Scotch newspaper, SO runs Dr. Lccks's account in the Brooklyn Eagle, and had clipped 1t. One night in Edin- burgh MT. Moody asked him to sing. MT. Moody had just finished his seH mon, The Good Shepherd" Mir. Sankey had no thought of compostng a new song, but as he used to tell the story:
 "As sat at the organ my fingers feu on A nSt and my eyes fell on that little poem. began to sing, and sang the words of that poem"
 When he had finished, Mir. Moody rushed down from the platform and asked him where he had found that song. He said it was the most won- derful song he had ever heard. MT. Moody was weeping, MT. SGnkey was weeping and the audience was in tears, 90 great was the impression produced by the song.

These men put up the necessary ball bond for the ap- pearance of the two girls in court this morning and all four were per mitted to go, no charge lodging against the men
 This morning the two women were arraigned before Judge Rice charged with violation of Ordinance number Ss, which is broad and far reaching in effect They made no defense they nd0 uOnS lO IudhS. 1hSS heaN left the licensed district for immoral purposes. Consequently they enter ed plea of guilty. Judge Rice was severe in his language in passing sentence. He told them they knew where they belonged. That they knew they had no right to be where they were found. and he imposed fines of $50 each upon them. The sympathy of the crowd in court was rather with the women when they were escorted to their homes tc change their dresses before comnen cing fffty-day jail sentence for it was expected that the men who were re sponsible for the bringing of the wo men to the rooming house would pay the fine and it is believed that thi: will be done during the course of tht day.

DOUBTFUL OF REPUBLICAN
 SINCERITY

How little hope Bryan nas of the republican party fulfilling its prom ise of statehood for Arizona is wit messed by the utterances he gave in his recent speech in Tucson. In this address Colonel Bryan said in part;
 "Now, gentlemen, on the matter of statehood for Arizona have learned some things on my present trip and some things among you here tonight hat I didn't know before and that will make me better prepared than before to urge your cause. The wealth you have here is great. you lead the world in the production of copper, you are retaining vast ar, eas from the desert and making them bloom and blossom like the rose.
 What glorious work has been that of you pioneers in new coun. try! You have drawn riches from the bare bosom of Mother Earth. You have built up a new section of the country where tens of thousands may live, and flourish and prosper in the very lap of Nature. Beautiful homes abound here, your splendid schools and your University are educating your sturdy youth. There could scarsely be a more ideal common wealth than this of yours. For many years I have advocated statehood and if every easterner could see what have seen out here the opposition to statehood would vanish in a day
 But by the way, does the repubIi can platform come out ''unequivocal ly and immediately" on the state hood matter-is that just the phras ing of it; I mean does it say botf "unequivocally" and Immediately as to granting statehood-how about it MT. Smith?"
 Marcus A. Smith-"yes sir, that Ii what it says-it says 1t unequivocal ly and immediately favors statehood
 Mir. Bryan (contihuing) then yol are lost! You will never get it iron the Republican party.
 ''Unequivically and immediately'i: the phrase they used about revisin, the tariff downward and you all knoV how that turned out" (Great ap plause and laughter.)

 The valet answered that it was just little joke, but his lordship would have none of 1t, and demanded details, angriIy.
 Well" admitted the man with re- luctance, it was really a little game we were having, my lord"
 What kind of a gamer"
 Well, my lord, a kind. of guessing game"
 - Don't be a fool, Walters; l rang for you in order to get an explanation. What guessing game were you play. Ing? Guessing what?"
 We blindfolded the cook, to tell you the truth, my lord, and then one of us kissed her and she had to guess who it was. The footmaa held the mop up and she kissed it, and then cried out: Q, your lordship; how dare you? "- Dundee Advertiser.

 The professor has been sent to the United States to visit a number of the important observatories, inciud- ing the naval observatory at Wash ington, and after he has studied their equipment and methods of working, to purchase for the Japan. csc government a number of ln- struments, including the large teie- scope.
 Mars, he said, is coming closer to the earth all the time, and Japan wishes to know as much about tho friendly planet during its visit as th2 other nations learn. The largest telescope in Japan, he said, is an eight inch affair. Acino will not de, eide upon the size of the spyglass he expects to buy until he has peered through some of the big lenses in the American observatories.
