Ettinge, an English woman who was refused entrance at this port by the immigration authorities last Thursday because she has only one leg. was not bound for the home of Mrs. Mary Ba- ker Eddy to fill the position of cook, was the substance of a statement is- sued tonight by Alfred Harlow, head of the committee of publication of the First Church of Christ, Scientist.

THE CATTLE BUSINESS
IN BOOM CONDITION
The Part the Forestry Policy Has
Had to do With 1t.

James Gibson came in, yesterday
afternoon from gathering cattle on
the range along the Aqua Fria. He
says there was never a more pros
porous season for the cattle business
and the indications are that it will
last for a long time. The cattle are
all in good condition, the ranges are
in fine shape and the prices are good,
so that there is no trouble in selling.
Whatever the cattlemen may have
thought at one time of the forest re-
serve policy, Mr.. Gibson says that
that has been the salvation of the
cattlenen of Arizona. The industry
had been threatened by invasions of
sheep, but now every cattlemen us
Tag the reserves knows that his range
will be protected in consideration of
the annual payment of thirty cents
year ahead for as many as he is
allowed by the forestry esrvice to
keep on the part of the reserve allot-
ted to him.
This arrangement is better all
around. While a cattle owner may
not be allowed all the cattle he wants
to keep on the range allotted to him
it is better for his cattle and for him
in the end that he is restricted.
Speaking of the cattle business,
Jake Miller has just sold his outfit in
the Big Bug country to Louis Gorelle,
who has for some time been running
the cattle on the shares.

AT the suggestion of Gazette"
Traffic Manager Jones of the Com
mercial club on May y, was misled
into addressing the following request
to Capt. Council of Well Fargo & Co.:
May L.
Mr.. T. Connell,
Agent. w F. e. c., Phoenix, Ariz.;
Dear Sir:-On request of many res
idents of the city and by order of our
directors your attention is called to
the inadequate delivery system pre-
vailing here so far as the district
served is concerned.
The city is growing in population
and in extent alth4gh it is now
more compact than most cities of
similar population, 5000.
Your present limits, a short seven
blocks in either direction as a maxi
mum and lesser in some directions
residential section and by comparison
with other cities of similar size is
decidedly circumscribed
The volume of your traffic and
revenue and our growth and the
reasonable demands of your patrons
is our justification for this request
that your service and facilities keep
pace with the general expansion.
North and northeast your present
delivery excludes the most populous
district. East and west on Washing
ton street the delivery service is re-
stricted from Seventh street to Sew
enth avenue, fourteen short blocks,
and even excludes the public library
located between Tenth and Twelfth
avenues.
Can we ask that this friendly sug-
gestion be considered and we be ad-
vised if relief be granted.
Yours truly,
MARICOPA COUNTY COMMERCIAL
CLUB,
F. A. Jones, Secretary.

THE MONTH OF WEDDINGS
THERE IS NONE LIKE JUNE
The Gifts at BaIke's Big Curio Store
Especially Selected With Reference
to This Period.

What may be hereinafter said is
intended only for the friends of June
| brides. 1t is intended to express the
sentiments of Balke's Big Curio store
as to the proper time to wed. 1t is
the opinion of the Big Curio store
that marriage is a good thing; that
any month is better month for
marriage than no month at all, but
that June is the best of all months
and that a wedding in any other
month is a little out of taste.
With this understanding of the case
the Big Curio store has made special
preparation for June weddings and
has large variety of wedding gifts
especially intended for June brides.
Many Of these gifts have already
been disposed of, though the friends
of the brides have not all been APP
prised of the approaching happy
events. In many cases it is a secret
among the bride, the groom. the giver
of the gift and the Big Curio store
the last of which will not tell.
But all the wedding gifts have by
no means been sold; there are gifts
at the Big Curio store, enough of
them, for all the brides who will be
married this month and every other
month of the year.
1t is no use to attempt to describe
the variety or the excellence of TENN.
the variety or the excellence of them.
Curio store and see them. Once
there, the giver will be able to make
up his mind easily as to what The

themselves furnish the suggestion and
solve the whole problem.

AFFAIR
IN UNITED STATES COURT
Charles Carter and Maggie Morales
Violators of Edmunds Act.

Charles Carter, a colOred porter. and
Maggie Morales, a white woman Of re-
spectacle parentage, were brought into
United States court yesterday morn
ing on a bench warrant charged with
violating the Edmunds act. A secret
Indictment had been returned against
each of them the day before
Both pleaded guilty on the advice
Of their attorney, Captain Crenshaw.
for there was no defense. Captain
Crenshaw asked for leniency but the
request was opposed by United States
Attorney Alexander, who said that this
mixing of negroes and whites was
something that should be discouraged
The woman especially had no claim
on the court. Usually in cases of this
kind justice is satisfied with the pun
ishment of the man but in this in
stance she was regarded as the more
guilty of the two. The court imposed
a fine Of SIS each and ordered the de-
PENDANTS committed until the fines
should be paid. Carriers friends came
to his rescue early in the afternoon
and he was liberated, but nobody came
forward with the cash in behalf of
the woman.
Some years ago this woman married
Morales, a Mexican. but she soon be-
came too tough for him. She has for
years been implicated in so many
scandals that the community ceased
TO pay any attention to them until she
began living openly with Carter in
Chinatown.
Fred Ernest, a bartender at Five
int hol IN
for selling liquor to Indians, pleaded
guilty to one of the indictments and
will be sentenced tomorrow. The 9TH
er Indictment will then likely be dis
missed. Jose Martin also pleaded
guilty to selling liquor to Indians and
he will be sentenced at the same time.
Eugene BerduscO. who had been in
dicted for a violation of the Edmunds
act, pleaded not guilty and his trial
was set for TODAY.

north, ten blocks west, nine blocks
east, seven blocks south, covering all
the close-in residential section and as
compared with other cities we cover
larger territory than n cities of
three times the population of Phoenix
This office is always ready to COM
ply with any reasonable request of
the citizens Of Phoenix, but a further
extension of our free delivery limits
at the present time is not justified.
l trust that this letter with the ac-
cOmpanying diagram viii place the
matter before the Maricopa County
Commercial club in its true light so
that it may see for themselves that
out service has kept pace with the
general expansion and the reason
able demands of our customers.
Yours truly,
T. CONNELL,
Agent.
About this time, either shortly be-
fore or shortly after the receipt of
the foregoing letter, Mr.. Jones visited
the office of Wells Fargo & Co, and
in the absence of Capt. Connell asked
Carl Smith, one of the oldest en-
ployes of the company regarding the
delivery area. When Mr. Smith de-
scribed it to him, Mr.. Jones EXPRESSED
surprise and said that there had been
some misrepresentation about il. He
said further that the area was much
greater than in many cities much
larger than Phoenix. On leaving he
told Mr.. Smith that nothing more
would be heard of the matter.
Capt. Connell said last night that
there had been no extension Of the
delivery limits with sthe last four
years and since Mr.. Jones learned
what the limits were there has been
no request for an extension.
"Wags" might have been honestly,
but not excusably, ignorant Of the
limits in the first instance, but when
Ways" last night sought to make its
readers believe that there had been a
recent extension as a result of it's
suggestion" Ways" told a very silly
and palpable lie.
