Suit Has Been Entered
 Against Grant Brothers

Suit was entered for the govern ment by U s Attorney l. B Alex ander in Cochise county today against the Grant Brothers Construction company charging the company with violation of the laws against the i'm portation "' unskIlled alien labor, on i3 complaints, naming ss mary iaoorers, the penalty for which is tlO0) in e'ch instance. The papers n the suit were sent by Mr Alexander from Phoenix to Tombstone, where the action will De prosecuted. This Is
 ne of the biggest suits started by the government for many months.
 The complaints allege that Grant Brothers caused and assisted each of the i5 laborers named to be brought rom Hermosillo in Sonora, Mexico. to Naco, Coch'se county, Arizona, the com )any paying their transportation and expenses. The laborers were to he used Tn construction work io Ari- zons. They arrived in Naco October %, 1909.
 II Grant Brothers are found guilty in this action under the federal law they may be assessed $i5, ,U0O as a penalty It 's claimed that upwards of 45O to 300 laborers have been imported from Mexico by this company. whether all were in violation of the contract law or not is not known.
 The case brings to mind another phase of the labor situation. The construction company has been unable to secure haf the men needed for railrosd work in Arizona and thi. scarcity is said to be the cause of de- lay. Apparently Mexican labor is the only kind that is available and its cheapness makes it more attractive The Gran. Brothers company Is now building the extension Of the Phoenix X Eastern.

MAN OF WEALTH.

I INDIANAPOLIS, July 2S.--Nathan-
! lei P Willis, murdered in a Little
Rock, Ark, court room by the nus
! band of his divorced wife, pending
trial for possession of his child, has
long been prominent in this city as
patentee of a cure for the drink hab-
it and was regarded as one of the
wealthiest men of the city. The MUIR
der Tuesday is the elimination of ma
rital troubles that began back in 1894,
when Willis is said to have deserted
his wife. He followed her to Missou-
ri and is said to have persuaded her
to return with him, she having the
child in her possession. In some way
he got the child away from her and
taking another train, left her at the
station. She brought habeas corpus
proceeding for the child and the
case was decided in her favor by the
trial and the supreme courts
The suit which eliminated in his
murder was the third between Willis
and his former wife, who had in the
meantime married Ellis

LIQUOR SIGNS
ARE LOWERED
NEW JERSEY LAW GOES INTO
EFFECT AND ADVERTISING
is STOPPED.

ATLANTIC CITY n j., July 20
Beer and liquor signs came down in
all parts of the resort to meet the
new state law against any sort OF
liquor or beer advertisement outside
of hotels or saloons. Scared owners,
who are made liable under the law for
signs on their properties, helped in
the crusade, and nearly every sign
has been unlocked and carried to
storage places in hopes that the law
may not be enforced.
Big whisky firms, whose expensive
brass and glass signs decorated the
fronts of many cafes and saloons,
have collected them in wagons for
use elsewhere, but big beer signs not
worth moving will go for kindling or
junk. The Atlantic City Brewery, of
which Commodore Louis Kuehnie is
chief financial hacker, has ordered
down all its signs, and employees made
rounds to see that the order was
Obeyed. A few saloon men have not
Obeyed the order, but will probably be
forced to comply.

A PRESIDENT
JUMPS JOB
CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF COLON
6lA RESIGNS WHILE IN EU-
ROPE-LACONIC.

{, HAMBURG. July 2S.-Gen. Reyes,
who resigned formally his place as
President of Colombia, in discussing
I the Colombian situation, said that a
majority of the new congress, which
assembled July 20, is clearly opposed
! to the ratification of the tri-partite
treaty between Colombia, the United
States and Panama 1t was, there
fore. useless for him to retain ONCE
when the country did not share his
views. He believed that Acting Presi-
dent Holguin, who held the same opln-
ions as himself, would soon be COM
PEELED to retire for similar reasons.
General Reyes added that he re-
garded Colombia's recalcitrancy in re-
fusing to recognize the independence
of Panama as foolish, and it would
probaly result in the loss of the COM
nensation which the United States
was ready to arrange that the new re-
public should pay. He had done all
he could for his country. There had
been two attempts to assassinate him.
His health was now broken down, and
as his fellow countrymen had shown
they were no longer able to support
him, he had determined to retire, al
though his term still had four years
to run.
His laconic message to the Presi-
dent of the Colombian senate said: II
irrevocably resign all future claims to
the presidency"
General Reyes will remain in Eu-
rope Indefinitely He will send a man.

The democratic executive commit

chairman, and selected Oct IA as the
date of the primary election to nom.
mate candidates for the various coun.
ty offices. The meeting was we'll at
tended, every district being represent
ed but three or four. Several resolu-
tions were adopted one of which pro-
vides for bringing suit in the proper
courts to have the bill that was passed
some years ago, giving Cannon county
a direct representative, declared I'M
constitutional, as this act deprives
Rutherford county of joint represen-
tative. Rutherford county's voting
strength is three times as large as
Cannon countys, still they have the
same representation in the house 1t
is commended by the committee that
the bill giving Cannon a direct repre-
sentative and taking the fioterial rep
from Rutherford county is
unconstitutional.

to eliminate all factional diff
ferences and to bring the opposing
factions together offered the following
