PECULIAR WAS \ DOUGLAS COURT
  SITUATION

The calling of the case of the Ter ritory against Amelia Catalina, charg ed with assault with a deadly weap- on was the occasion for a nice ques. ton to come up before Justice Rice this morning.
 When the case came up Attorney A. NJ. sames was for the defense ana asked for a change of venue. He made the request on the usual ground of bias on part of examinnig magistrate. Such request had never before been made to Justice Rice and the matter would require considerable study before decision. Attorney sSames stated that he would not have Jusuce Rice decide in hls favor unless certain that such was the correct interpretation and that at the same time his client was in jail It was therefore decided to leave the matter to the district at torney and he was called up on the telephone J. $. Williams agreed that such a point was one which ought to be decided and that he should be on hand for such an argu- ment and therefore suggested that on this occasion, without making the matter one of precedent the re- quest for the change Of venue be granted.
 There is no doubt of the right to change of venue when a case is be fore a justice of peace as such, but the question is open when the just. ice is sitting as committing magls- trate

DOUGLAS POLICE WILL
 ENFORCE CURTIN LAW

DOUGLAS, Sept. 23.-(Special.)- The ~Curfew Ordinance" is not to be disregarded or to become a dead letter but is to be strictly enforced just as are the other city ordinances. This IS the statement of Chief of 20 lice Lilies. Therefore the children had best seek their homes by the time the clock is striking eight ana 1t wIll be well for thoughtful parents to look out for their children ana to see that they are safe at hon,e be. fore the curfew hour.
 There seems to have grown up, said Chief Lilies, "a more or less gen eral disregard of the curfew ordi nance. This is one of the city laws and with the others 1t is going to be enforced by the city officers. Thus far the officers have merely sent the children they find on the streets af ter hours to their homes and have then called upon the parents. This Is asking a good deal of the officers They can hardly be expected to do their other duties and patrol their beats and then to make calls upon the parents of delinquent children This is being done at present but II will not be continued. The parents should see that their children are at home at the time the Ordinance indi, cates unless they are out with some grown person as guardian. The law will be enforced and if parents will give us their help in this way it will save them and us trouble.
 Groups of children congregate a , different parts of the city but espec ialIy about the doors of the picture shows. They must learn that this Ii forbidden and must disperse and Dc where they belong at o'clock each night, if they want to keep out o trouble"

Especial Correspondence.)

Special Correspondence.)
 TOMBSTONE, Sept 22.-Mrs. Will liam James who had the contract for making up the duplicate assessment rolls for the county for this year com pleted the work within the time re quired bylaw and the books were yes terday turned over to County Treas urer Hicks.
 The rolls as completed present some figures that are interesting to the citizens and tax payers of the county. The rols are made up of six separate volumes, four of these contain the larger portion of the assessed valua. tions, one of the other contains the mine production and the other con tains the list of property on which the assessor has already collected the taxes. The total amount of the valu- ation of the real estate in the county according to the rolls is given at S2,S04, ,S46.40, the Improvements there on, $5,612,S4S.90; personal property, $5,453, ,326.39; mine production, s4.759,- 497.27; making a total of s1S,630, ,51S.- 96 which at the rate of S2.30 will raise the sum of s42T,997.OS for county and Territorial taxes. This does not in- clude the raise that was made by the Territorial Board of Equalization on the patented mines which raise was put up for Territorial purposes only. The raise as made by that Board on the mines amounted to $615,17S.29 which will give to the Territory the sum of $5,s44.1S. provided that the mining companies pay the amount. which the majority of them have fail ed to do in the past when similar raises have been made.
 The amount of assessed valuations in the bonded school districts is as follows:
 Bisbee, $S,662, $50; Douglas. $4.541,- 5OS.OO; Tombstone $559. .266.OO; Will COX, $3S3, ,S12.0O; Marcus, s109, ,323.00 and Naco s226.O291O. On these amounts there will be raised by spec ial tax for the support of the high schools the following sums: Bisbee. SS,662.55; Douglas s9,0S3.02; Tomb stone, si,949.65; Wilcox $2,667.el. Tn order to pay off the bonds and in terest of these districts besides the levy made for the support Of the high schools, there will have to be raised the following amounts: Douglas, s15,- S2S.O3; Tombstone ss3S.SS; Marcus sz73.30; Wilcox, $959.52; Naco s791.- IL There was no levy made for Bis bee district for the paying of of the hcnded indebtedness as there is a balance left in the fund on account of the levy made last year for the bonds that were subsequently declared file gal by the courts. The total amount to be raised by taxation including the indebtedness of the school districts is S469, ,19616.

A dispatch from St. Louis is auth ority for the statement that Ex-Gov- ernor Joseph Folk, of Missouri, will probably be boosted for the demo, cratic nomination for the presidency in 1912. It is not known whether this has the endorsement of Govern. or Folk or not In connection with this information from St. Louis IS coupled the fact that the friends Of David K.

MINING NOTES IF THE PARADISE
 DISTRICT
(From Paradise Record.)
 Gardner.

A full face of lead ore at vertical depth of about 90 feet is the fine showing now to be seen on the c. 1 Gardner property, adjoining the Sul livan group. The working Is tun neI, which is in at present about 2SS feet, in gray lime. The tunnel is be ing driven to reach a point vertically under a 90 foot inclined shaft, which had more or less ore for the entire distance; and it is calculated that this point will be reached in ten feet more of work. The tunnel has been in mineralized lime for the entire distance, and for some time the lIme has been looking sufficiently better to be styied lead ore. Until recently assays were not deemed worth while, for the reason that much better val ues in the near future were practic ally certain. However, tests are now to be made soon.
 1t was not because the ore plncn- ed out that the 90 foot shaft was abandoned-for the ore was followed all of the way, and there are still good values in the bottom. It was on account of the waste of time and money further hoisting would have meant For 20 feet or so the shaft is vertical, then, for the remainder of the distance, inclined. So. further sinkIng-especiaIly when the wors was being done by one nan-was plainly out of the question. Hence the tunnel.
 More than TOO feet of work has been done on this group, and prac tfcalIy every foot of it is either 1T ore or in mineralized ground.

COMMISSION HAS AN IMPORTANT
 MEETING

DOUGLAS, Sept. 2S.-(special)-
 Railroad Commissioner W. P. Mo Nair returned to the city this morn ing after an absence of ten days dur ing which he attended a meeting of the commission at Globe and after that went to Phoenix where he re- mained for several days assisting n office work
 AS a result of the meeting Of the commission at Globe the Gila Valley, Globe and northern railroad granted a reduction in freight rates which amounts to more than twenty per cent of former rates. This conces- sion was very gratifying both to the commission and the business men or Globe. There mas been much com piaint at Globe about high freight rates. McNair told of the troubles of John Dunbar, proprietor of the new paper in that city-the Globe. Dunbar related h1s troubles to the members of the commission this way: When 1 had arranged to ship a newspaper plant from Prescott to Globe I inquired of one of the rail road officials how much would be the cost of a car from Prescott to Globe. I was informed that some thing like s375 would be the charge; a second official of the road thought that the freight would amount to $500 When the car arrived a freight bill was presented for more than one thousand dollars"
 How much did you finally pay?" | inquired one of the commissioners.
 T did not pay anything" replied Dunbar, T hired a lawyer and re- pleyied the outfit"
 Gratifying Condition.
 The commission feels much grat- flied at the spirit of courtesy which is manifested towards it by railroad officials generally in the territory, said McNair They are showing a | disposition to respond promptly whenever asked for a conference concerning any objectionable condi- tion about which complaints have been made, and further they have showed a disposition to remedy the evils complained of wherever it is possible to do so.
 Main Line Freight Rates.
 'No response has been received from the companies about the mat. ter of granting a three cent fare on the main lines of the territory which was taken under adyisement by the railroad officials after our conference on that subject in Phoenix, but it is to be hoped that this concession will be granted to the people of the terri tory.

 The proposed length of the new tunnel is 12OO feet. It is now report ed in about 125 feet. The new site is believed to be better than the two others, tapping a more richly miner aIized country.

On examining 1t he found 1t to be lead-silver ore, which may pay to ship. A little work fails to displace the rock, it is so large, and dynamite may have to be used to prospect it. Mir. Walker plans do ing the annual work at this place soon.
 This property is close to town, in a westerly direction, and adjoins the Chiracahua. It is an excellent group with fine lead-silver showings and some copper.

ASK FAIR DISPOSITION
OF THE GAS DISPUTE
Representatives of Citizens Associations Testify at
Chamber Of Commerce Hearing Want Both
Poop BE and Company to Get Justice.

The Chamber of Commerce began its
investigation into The Washington gas
problem last evening. when its subcom-
mfttee assigned 10 the work held its
first meeting. BY invitation, officers OF
several Of the citizens associations were
present and told what their organiza-
lions had done, and of the experiences
Of their sections of the city with the
gas supply.
The tone of the evenings discussion
was distinctly expressive of a wish to
reach conclusion that should be fair
both to the stockholders or the gas
company and to the community It is
the evident purpose of the committee
to seek information from all possible
without prejudice.
Both the price of gas and the service
furnished by the Washington company
came in for consideration at last nights
meeting. Especially forcible were the
observations and complaints of those
from the suburban districts where it
was said, TO the surprise Of some pres
ent. that the flow of gas was so poor at
certain times as TO menace the lives of
the consumer because of the constant
tendency Of the lights to flicker out.
The committee will continue its hear
ing from time to time for several
months and will make it's report in the
fall
Evan r. Tucker, president of the
Northeast Washington Citizens Associa-
ton, opened the evenings discussion.
For twelve years. he said, the people
of his section had wrestIed with the
problem. He expressed himself as op-
posed to the Gallinger bill and also to
any other measure proposed at the last
session of Congress. His association
favored, Mr.. Tucker said, the Madden
fo-cent gas bill He explained that the
reduction Of candlepOwer from 25 TO %

certed action if the gas hght is to be
won.
IF there is anything unjust in the
gas bills introduced into Congress-, he
argued, then the Chamber OF Com
merce AMI the Citizens Associations,
workirg together. viii get full justice:

stant game of tag between the gas jet

Park citizens who told how their lives
had been imperiled by the gas going out.

LURE Of WEALTH
CURSE OF NATION
Sounds Warning
Against Desire For World
ly Prosperity.

THE desire for worldly prosperity is
the curse of the nation and of the
church. We today mix up too much
our worldly prosperity with religious
victory. In fact our idea Of God has
become worldly Prosperity
So spoke the Rev. J. Howard Wells,
pastor of the Mt Vernon Place Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, in a sermon to a
large congregation this morning. Dr..
Wells referred 20 the age as one OF
mad rush for rloney-getting. in which
every consideration is subordinated to
the lust for wealth and the soul Is ne
elected and starved of spiritual uplift.
He attributed the doubt of God that
filed the mind of Gideon 10 the fact
that Israel was impoverished and Gid
con could not understand how God
dwelt in a land without prosperity.
If religion cannot stand the closest
scrutiny, throw it away. for IL is no
good" declared DR.. Wells. III God
cannot stand the same test. then reject
God. We cannot doubt God. for the
blessing of His spirit is within Us
Concluding DR.. Wells called upon his
congregation not to neglect their
spiritual welfare. nor to give them
selves over entirely to the desire for
moneymaking.
