DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. l t52cc-a.)-- Coasternation and confusion reign

 On Thursday there was arraigned in court bcy who pleaded guilty to the larceny of one biddy. He inl- plicated no one in his plea. and but for the fact that Harry Greenburg was game little pal and told the court that his friend was not alone in the matter: but that he himself had helped run down and each biddy, and had received half Of the proceeds of her subsequent sale. he would never have been implicated But when the boy had thus involved himself in the affair of the hen Judge Ben Rice or dered g complaint made out, verified by Bob Hilburn and d warrant serv- ed.

Mother is Angry

But the end was not yet. Although Samuel Greenburg is reported to have said, to frighten his recreant off spring, that he did not care if he were sent to prison for fifteen years Mrs. Grenburg took the matter diff ferently. She maintained that her young hopeful had been treated with undue harshness and had been need lessly humiliated and disgraced. Hence there was an irate woman who called at the city hall this morning. She had it in for the city officers, the judge, but especially for Bob Hii- burn, local deputy sheriff. She first expressed her opinions to members of the fire department and they fled before the thunder clouds of her ris- ing anger; next she visited the mar shal's office and while there in walk ed Bob HiIburn Mrs. Greenburg told Bob just what she thought of him, or rather tried to find words forcible enough to do so, and failing, is re- ported to have threatened the deputy with physical violence, to wit, to slap his face. The story goes that Bob Tsed the most perfect of ring tactics, 5ucI,el and sidestepped and sidestep, ped and tucked, but finally fled the city hall in terror.
 Mike Lies received his dressing down also, and even Father Comics sor" Igo could not escape.
 It remained for Judge Rice to end the matter when Mrs. GreenbuTg re
 turned and found him in his office
 He firmly insisted that she leave the
 sacred precincts of justice, and shc

CANANEA. Nov. 1.-The interest with which the mining world in gen. eral is viewing the results that are characterizing present operations of the Cananea Consolidated, was attest ed by a visit for several days last week of two advanced and well, known mining men. w. s. Morse, vice pres ident of the American Smelling & Re fining company, and w. c. Potter, general manager of the Mexican di- vision of the same concern, who came here to learn and profit by devices and departures that their vast com pany has not yet employed They were profIse with compliments for those who have been responsible for the efficiency of Mexico's greatest mine.
 With an exhibition that was not classy, but, nevertheless, interesting and hard fosght, Cananea saw the last of baseball until the gathering of next spring calls the faithful together again. With Reardon and Goodman to help them, the Boscos made the weakened Regulars fight for every score. Mike Ryan appeared on the second station for the losing aggre- gation and Lis playing was up to old time form. Tom Whaling (Sunny Jim), Bill Goodman, Baroldy and Du- gan left on today's train for different parts. Wita the exception of Baroldy, the others will return next March. A gypsy sold Baroldy small chunk of wood Saturday which, she affirms, will guarantee him good fortune wherever he happens to roam. As he paid her $25 for it, it should aid him in making good in the Texas league next year. Regulars I DO T 2 x-12 IA Boscoes Q ? f o 0 0 3 0 2--11

of Silas Stockwell, an aged farmer

The horse hitched to StockwelI's

charged with "cruel and inhuman
treatment"
Mrs. Taylor left her husband in

CHICAGO, Dec. SIT you want
to reform lap6rer VINO is out of
Job, destitute and starved, wait I'M
til the first cold days make him
think of suicide and then-hit him
over the head with club.
This, in brief, is the doctrine Of
philanthropy put into effect the
other day by the Chicago police,
with the approval Of the city Off
Gals.
This kind of reform-billy club
reform-may be tough on the starv-
ing men who think the world has
turned it's face from them, but it
gives the second city in the United
States clean face before its
critics.
Chicago has just passed through
q frenzy Of reform. Great meetings
we're stirred by the words of paid
evangelist, who later led great
crowds Of women and boys into the
levee district on a mission of relig.
ion.
Leading business men met and
decided that Chicago was going to
be one of the finest places in the
world to live in. They pointed out
that miles of boulevards and do
mains Of parks were in better con-
dition than for years. and they
wanted visitors to know 1t. Chicago
had to be city of prosperity at
any cost.
1t isn't hard to believe, either,
when you stand at Michigan boule-
ward and Congress treet, at the Au-
dhOrum corner and watch the mo-
tor cars whizz by on any evening.
If you walk down Michigan boule-
ward few steps. into the Congress
hotel, the crowds OF gayly dressed
women and convivial men radiate
prosperity.
Perhaps some inquisitive visitors
might want to wander west few
blocks, where the men out Of jobs.
the failures of Chicago, congregate.
That would hurt Chicago, so Chief
Steward found out a way to make
his police prevent It,
There are two kinds of idle men
here. One Is the kind that would
not work II they had a chance; men
whom the drink disease has con-
quered. These gather around the
barrel house Of Alderman Michael
Kenna, "Hinky Dink." on South
Clark street. The other kind are
the men who spend perhaps their
last half dollar for chance at a
Job in the big labor agencies on
Dearborn and State streets.
Hunger comes when that half
dollar goes. perhaps. but hope lin
gers. SO they crowd at the doors
of the labor agencies, waiting for
the news that means salvation for
them. And II Is long wait.

, ten on nine out of 10 of these
blanks when they are returned to
the precinct commander by the po-
licemen, who also usually. have in
tow the subjects of reform, more
lead than alive.
The policemen never knew them
to work, of course. So, not know
ing, and not caring to know, the
policeman scribbles the four words
that mean a prison sentence for the
man.
So far the great charity organiza-
tons of this city, with their large
and well paid staff of 'investiga-
tors" haven't done anything to stop
billy club reform. From every
thing they have done. or, rather,
not done, they seem to be satisfied
that this reform is great thing.
So, evidently, do their officers,

dents whose names are all in the
Chicago blue book
Up to date no one has visited the
Clark street barrel house where
street beggars meet and spend
their money over "Hinky Dink's''
bar. For the man with the price
and desire for beer is immune
from 1t.
It's a great thing for the city, the
police agree,

HALF 10 DEATH DAILY BY CE
Chief Stewards way-the billy
club way--is simple. A big police
sergeant from the Harrison street
station takes a squad of police. and
they wait until meal time comes.
The sergeant knows then that the
work seekers will be driven by
hunger to wait at the very doors of
the labor agents.
Then the sqHad starts. Their at

There Is no resistance. The hun
