TUCSON, Oct. 22.-The contest of the win of the late James B. Reilly, of Tombstone, resulted in mistrial, the jury standing six to six, according to the statement of Attorney John B. Wright, who returned from Nogales today. The widow claims the jurist's mind was influenced in the disposij ton of his propery by rtligious sect of Los Angeles.

PHOENIX, Oct. 22.-Funds have been raised, attorneys employed and all plans made by committee of the Maricopa Commercial club to carry to the finish the fight that has been begun on the validity of the power contract now existing in Phoenix be- tween the reclamation service and the Pacific Gas & Electric company.
 If Secretary of Interior Richard A. Ballinger, who is now here to inspect the Salt river project and the Roose- welt dam, fails to push the inquiry he declared yesterday he had order ed. the Maricopa club will file com plaint in Washington, D. c.
 With this complaint. setting forth the alleged unfairness and injustice of the power contract, as basis, the attorneys for the Maricopa club will attack it's validity on several grounds, the principal one being that it vio- lates the laws against monopolies.
 BalIinger's statement yesterday that he has ordered an investigation came as a startling surprise after the policy that has been pursued by the department of interior since the first representations were made to ex-Seo retary Garfield.

just Like an Irishman.

Mike and Pat worked for a
wealthy farmer. They planned to
turn burglars and steal the money
which the farmer had hid in one of
the rooms of his house. They wait
ed until midnight, then started to
do the job.
In order to get the money they
had to pass the farmers bedroom.
Mike says; "I'll go first, and If it's
all right you can follow and do just
as l."
Mike started to pass the room.
Just as he got opposite the door the
floor creaked. This awoke the far
mer, who called out: Who's there?'
Mike answered with meow

wife being awake, too, said: "Oh,

Plan tuberculosis War
in East Side District
$500 Persons Applaud Proposal to
Fight Sweating System and
Unsanitary Bakeshops.

An active campaign against
sweat shops and unsanitary
bakeshops, as a step toward the
stamping out of consumption in
the east side tenement districts,
was yesterday decided on at a
general mass meeting of $500
east side workingmen and we
men in the auditorium of the
Museum of Natural History I'M
der the auspices of the United
Hebrew Trades. The plans sug-
|gested were applauded with
great enthusiasm.
General Organizer Jacob Gold
stein, of the Journeyman Bak-
ers' and Confectioners' Inter
national Union, the leading
speaker at the meeting, said:
"The tremendous mortality on
the east side due to consump-
ton can only be stopped by the
abolition of sweatshops and I'M
sanitary bakeshops. Sanitary
workshops for the great masses
of the working population of the
east side first must be estab-
llished before any beginning can
be made in the way of stamping
out the terrible disease.
Another great menace to the
public welfare is the starving
condition of large masses of
school children, who go to the
schools breakfastless, their
weakened bodies succumbing
easily to the deadly tuberculosis
germs.
81 appeal to all workingmen
in the city to unite and abolish
the horrible conditions which
cause the ranks of the worker
to be decimated."

Miss Vanstrein was standing

showed the roll in his pocket.

French "Oeress."

Paris.-Interest has been re-
newed in the strange case of
Jeanne Weber, known as the
Ogress, who in 1906 was accus-
ed by her neighbors of having
don to death several children
who died in a mysterious way
when under her care. While it
was alleged that she had strang-
led the little ones, material evil
dence of which was lacking,
doctors disagreed as to whether
the cause of death was not a
form of commissions, common
among children improperly
nourished or of a parentage
weakened by alcoholism.
The woman disappeared and
in the following year was again
placed under arrest. She had
been befriended by a woodcutter
at Chateauraux, who believed
her innocent, and while in her
charge his little 10y died in the
same queer fashion as did the
other children.
Now the committee appointed
to investigate the case have pro
nounced the woman insane-a
theory most determinedly fought
by distinguished alienists-ano
she has been removed to an asy-
lum. The doctors who dispute
this verdict have caused much
feeling by pointing out that the
woman probably will be released
from the asylum in a few years
to start again on her murderous
career.

Fur-Bearing Sheep.
A POSSIBLE SOURCE
OF FUR SUPPLY
FOR THE FUTURE,

AS a possible source of fur sup
ply the Bureau of Animal Industry
is disposed to think favorably of a
plan for introducing into this coun-
try the Bokhara sheep, which fur
nishes all of the so-called astrak-
han, or Persian lamb.
The name "astrakhan" Is taken
from that OF the Russian town, a
port of the Caspian sea, which holds
a sort of monopoly in the trade in
such furs. But the region In which
the sheep ARE raised Is the neigh
borhood % the Bokharan village of
Karakul, which has been famous for
the industry for many centuries.
These sheep are known as Kara
kul, or Bokhara sheep. They are a
variety of the fat tailed race, which
is supposed to have originated in
Syria. OF medium size, their fleece
is very thick and coarse, and gray
ish brown in color. But the new
born lambs have silky and glossy
wool, arranged in little ringlets
closely set and tightly curled. II
is they that supply the much val
ued furs.
Between the dull and coarse fleece
of the mothers and the delicate, jet
black wool of the lambkins the con
trast does not last long, however
Four or five days after the birth Of
the lamb its fleece loses its gloss
and pretty curliness, wherefore it is
necessary to kill the unlucky ami
NAL as quickly as possible after il
comes into the world in order to gel
the fur in its most valuable condi
ton.

The following statement of facts
is taken from the American Prohibf-
tion Year Book: "In Maine the total
commitments for drunkenness in
1896 were S049. In 1906 they were
1880. On the other hand, the COM
mitments for liquor selling in 1896
were 179. In 1906 they were 42s.
Better law enforcement, In 1850 the
per capita wealth of Maine was s210.
In 1900 1t was 1922. Today Maine
is the only state in the Union which
has more bank depositors than
voters. She has 100000 more de-
positors than the great whiskey state
of Ohio. Maine has 40 clear home
owners out of every 100 families.
This record cannot be found in any
license state. In the United States
there is per capita net county debt
of s2.o0. Maine has s1.27."
Mr.. Dickinson says that liquor is
shipped into Kansas. cannot deny
that statement that some liquor
comes into that state In that manner.
The people of Kansas are not re-
sponsible for such condition, but
our government, of which we are a
part, Is to blame, l quote from J..
Il. Hurley, superintendent of the
Santa Fe system: 81 consider the
prohibition law of Kansas as worth
more to the railroad than any other
one thing. We have the most ef-
ficient, capable, well-educated class
Of men in the railroad business in

on so short a notice. Probably pro-
hibltion has reduced the receipts of
the Hotel Pendleton. There was a

fall off. The man who runs the
Quelle restaurant says that his busi-
ness has diminished $4,000 since the
city of Pendleton voted out saloons,
Probably this is true, because 1t is
hard to run a saloon in a dry town.
The assertion that there are 1900
less people in Pendleton since It
went dry, cannot be verified OF
course the gambler, the bum" the
bartender and the prostitute have
sought wetter climes than dry
Pendleton. In their places there are
coming home-builders. The writer

town. He saw an immense brick

men as authorities on conditions

indictment by the grand jury for

TEMPERANCE COLUMN. :

wv
In recent meeting of the Western
Hotel Mems Association papers were
read in which the writer's denounced
the prohibition laws, declaring them
imperative, demorali2ing in effect
upon business, ETC., and citing
Pendleton as an awful example of
what prohibition would do for a
town. 1t was stated that Pendleton
had lost 1900 inhabitants since the
law went into effect and that there
were many vacant houses as a result
or the law. Portland, Maine and
Portland, Ore, were compared in
their growth as illustrating the eff
feet of the wet and dry policies. Kan
sas was also made to stand as an
illustration of the failure of the law
to accomplish the intended purpose.
Some hot stuff has come out in
reply. The following will serve to
throw light upon the reasons for the
attitude of the hotel men:
PORTLAND, Oct. 1S.-(To the
Editor. THE writer desires to reply
to some of the assertions made by
M. G. Dickinson, of this city, in his
address to the Western Hotel Mems
Association at San Francisco.
In his opening statement, Mr.
Dickinson makes assertions about
prohibition running business, that it
does not prohibit, etc. These state
ments are old as the eternal hills
and he should have put them in
quotation marks, because they have
passed the lips of many a worshipper
at the shrine of Bacchus before they
reached our learned friend,
take for granted that the state
ments made concerning the popula-
tion of Portland, Me-, and Portland,
Ore, are correct. 1t is the poorest
sort of logic to assume that because
Portland, Me-, now has a population
of $4,000 souls and Portland, Ore,
100000 that prohibition is respon-
sible for the same. | could say with
equally good logic that Portland,
Or, is not as large as Chicago, be-
cause Chicago has 1000 saloons and
poor little Portland has but 400.
Wyoming is perhaps the most typi-
cal state in the Union. 1t has a pop
ulation of $4,000. The author, be-
ing a prohibitionist, might assert
that the reason Wyoming has no
more people is because it is license
state. This would be equally as
truthful as the statement that pro-
hibition has kept Portland, Me-, be-
low the 100000 mark.
