the Highlanders.

ovid" Conroy and Hal Chase,
when associated with the New York
American league team, were the au-
thors Of clearly the most wonderful
play l ever saw made on the dia-
mond.
The play was made in a game
with the Browns at Sportsman
park, st. Louis, in the summer of
1906. The Highlanders, under clev-
er Clark Griffith, were having it
out hammer and tongs fashion with
the White Sox for the champion
ship.
The fasteners were making their

the swing which settled their hash
when they went to Detroit, after
winning majority of their games
In Cleveland and st. Louis, and suf-
fered three defeats at the hands Of
the Wolverines.
On The day in question the
Browns were giving the Highland
ers a great fight. Jack Powell WAS

UNCERTAIN AS TO THE
MEANING OF WORD
/ "RATIFY"

Entrymen in the Cunningham
coal lands In Alaska, now under
government investigation, are max.
ino SPINE peculiar explanations Of
documentary evidence submitted
by the government, which is charg-
in6 fraud in the entries.
Afftdayits and minutes of meet
ings that convey clear meaning
in plain English are explained by
the entrymen in various ways.
Some had not given the affidavits
much thought and signed them in a
hufry; Others had signed with the
understanding that the affidavits
meant something else than what
they 3plainly show, while others
signed without reading them at all,
so the testimony goes.
The coal lands hearing this morn
ing developed another tendency
along this line when II. w. Collins,

of the minutes of meeting of the
entrymen held in Spokane in July,

Record was made in the minutes
of that meeting of the appointment
Of committee to visit the Guggen-
helm syndicate at Salt Lake for
the purpose Of making deal for
the development Of the coal claims
and the marketing of the coal. The
minutes show that the entrymen
had agreed to "ratify" any action
that the committee might take. Mr..
Collins explained hat "ratify" in
this. instance meant the approval Of
the sending of the committee and
not their action at Salt Lake.
n Mr.. Collins said that he had
never entered into the agreement
set forth in the journal of Clarence
Cunningham, to the effect that the
latter was to receive an interest in
the various claims after they were
patented. He said that he had COM
penssted. Cunningham by check
and that the claim had cost him to
date $4,000 to $4,000.
He said that the entrymen had
discussed the formation q COM
pany~te develop the claims and that
he was appointed on a committee
to take the necessary steps to float
such a corporation. He said that

CITY TO PROSECUTE
THE LOAN SHARKS

The new criminal code makes it
an offense for pawn broker to
accept over three per cent month
interest, but is silent on the salary
loan shark, who charges never less
than 10 per cent month.
Corporation Counsel Conner has
been investigating the status of the
salary loan shark with view of
proceeding against him criminally,
but found no law on the statute
books of Washington under which
he can he directly directly.
Mr.. Conner says that the loan
shark can be reached under the
state law, through the prosecuting
attorneys office, for disorderly
conduct. When the salary loan

PLAN TO ADVERTISE VALLEY
BY ILLUSTRATED LECTURES
GEORGE II. MAXWELL OF HOME
CROFT IDEALS MEETS
BUSINESS MEN.
viii Send the Suburban Farmer From
Effete East.

George II. Maxwell, of Chicago. who
is well known throughout the valley
for his holdings near Phoenix. for his
founding of MaXwelrs Talisman, but
principally for his pronounced ideas
for the settling of this section of Ari-
IONA with the small farmer from the
crowded suburbs of eastern cities, met
with the chamber of commerce and the
business men generally in the Mesa
City Bank building yesterday after
noon for the purpose Of discussing
plans and arranging some of the more
important details looking to a lectur-
ing campaign this coming summer. Mr..
Maxwell has addressed the business
men on several occasions and also has
delivered his illustrated lecture at this
place which hardly makes it necessary
10 introduce him TO the Mesa readers.
However the definite purpose of Mr..
MaXwell's visit yesterday was to get
directly in touch with the business
men and chamber of commerce, look
ing towards his illustrated lecturing
tour which will be carried on this sum-
mer and incidentally which will deal
principally with facts and figures on
the Salt River valley.
Mr.. Maxwell has long held the idea
that every man should be in his own
home producing as nearly as possible
