POSTMASTER GENERAL
 MISTAKEN FOR OFFICER

A gentleman wearing a white hat and attired in a natty suit of the latest pattern prevailing throughout the east, was, next to the president, the biggest drawing card in the pa rade last evening from the train to the speakers stand.
 "That's the chief secret service man with the president and his per sOnal bodyguard," was an expression that was heard repeatedly.
 The man who was mistaken for a secret service man was none other than Postmaster General Frank M. Hitchcock, who is one of the best boosters Arizona has in the east.
 The postmaster general when in formed last evening that he had been mistaken for a "government sleuth" laughed most heartily.

DECORATIONS WERE
 CREDIT TO PRESCOTT
(FrOm Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Patriotic emblems were everywhere seen in the city and many attracted comment and admiration. Strikingfy artistic was the main stand on Union street, where the ceremonies of the day were observed. A sea of flags and bunting were here eongested and with the presidents portrait the scene was beautiful and inspiring. During the exercises this structure was thronged with men of prominence iR the nations history and the grandeur of the occasion will go down in memory as the most noteworthy one in the life of the little mountain city of the north. Many compliment tary expressions were heard of the artistic ability of the men who so tastefully and periodically performed this duty.
 To the south of the stand the deco rations in the store of NJ. Goldwater were original in design and appro- priate to the occasion. In the north window a white deer was seen look ing in the direction of the mass as sembled on the stand, and with its head to the south in a characteristic attitude of being at bay was a large mountain lion, facing a woman in khaki, armed iwth a Winchester and six-shOoter in the belt, ready for action. This display attracted to it and handsomely commended the unique deseign. In the window adjoining was a large portrait of President Taft, resting gently in a sea of bunting and flags.
 Opposite the stand the courthouse was eloistered in a sea of bunting, streamers and the largest American flag in the territory, twenty feet across and fifty feet long. It was suspended from the eorniee work on the upper portion and above it were the words 'EWe Want Statehood. This motto faced the president as he was speaking, and the silent appeal of the Arizonans only the more feel -ingly and sincerely expressed that de- votiOn the cause carries and which the president responded to so nobly and sincerely by profoundly and earn estly expressing his approval and sup port of the movement.
 Other lttraetive decoration '' the city were seen on the St. Michael hotel, the Bashford-Burmister com pany building, Blocks, Seopel hotel, the Sehuerman house, the Masonic bnilding, Bashford block, Prescott Ma tional bank, fire hall, Lawler block, S. F. P. & P. depot, Prescott house, Head hotel, Bank of Arizona, Con gress house, Gardner's, Arizona Mine Supply store, Depot house, R. H. Bur mister & Sons Co.,, and many others.

FIVE ARE BURNED IN
FLAMES ON STEAMER
ONE DEAD AND OTHERS NOT
EXPECTED TO LIVE
Crew Makes Hard Fight to Preven9
Destruction of Vessel in
the Gulf of
Georgia

VANCOUVER. B. c., May 27.-One
man is dead and four others SO badly
burned that they may die as the result
of a fire which occurred early this
morning on board the coasting freight
steamer Coquitlam on her way through
the Gulf of Georgia from this port.
The fire started just after daylight,
when Second Engineer Black and
fireman, name unknown, were alone in
the engine room. How the blaze orig
mated no one knows, but suddenly the
engine room was ablaze and the wood
work and flooring, saturated with oil
and very dry, burned fiercely. One fire.
man was roasted alive. Second En-
gineer Black nearly lost his life trying
to rescue the fireman. Second Mate
Watts was badly injured, and the burns
sustained by two Japanese firemen may
prove fatal.
The crew after a hard fight extin.
guished the fire and turned the steamer
back to Vancouver where the injured
were taken to hospitals. The financial
loss is several thousand dollars.

CASTELLANE WINS
PARTIAL VICTORY
COURT GIVES HIM RIGHT TO
CHOOSE INSTRUCTOR
Not Be Permitted to Influence
Children Against Their
Father

PARIS, May 27.-The decision of the
superior court in Count Boni de Cas-
tellane's appeal of the case brought
by him for the custody of his chill
dren, was handed down today and is
a partial victory for the count. 1t
confirms the decision of the lower
court giving the mother the custody
of the children, but it sets forth that
the father alone had the right to
choose their instructor and designate
the college in which they were to be
educated. Furthermore, Prince Hello
de Sagan is specially excluded from
the list of persons authorized to visit
the children and the counts conten-
ton that the influence of the prince
is pernicious is thus in effect sus-
tanned. The costs of the appeal are
divided.
II the parents cannot agree on q
school for the two boys within a fort
night they are to be sent to the Lycee
Of Janson, where only the mother, the
grandmother and George Gould may
visit them The decision sets forth
also that whatever the character and
past of Prince de Sagan, 1t is not
right that the princess impose upon
her children the influence of her new
husband, to prejudice their affection
for their father"

To be sure, there are diseases OF
Virulent nature, such as cancer, tuber-
culosis, diabetes. etc, which are or
