Unjust to Life
 Insurance Companies

Regarding the injustice and nnwis- dom of the New York law limiting the business of life insurance companies operating under the laws of the state, to one hundred and fifty millions O. dollars new business spDually, c. s Phillips, Arizons representative of the New Yo.k Life Insurance Co who Is in Tombstone today, ssys there is a serious question as to the justice and wisdom of ouch law.
 "If the law does not prevent the company from doing business to its fell capacity" said Mir. Phillips. "then the company can progress. but if the law does prevent the company from full exercise of its power, the company must reach A point in its career where progress Is no longer possible; progress is an indication of health of vieor while lack of progress means stsgna- ton, death and decay II law is al- lowed to interfere with reasonable pro- gress and development, it becomes tyranny; and tyranny is the highest type of injustice
 "Now, here is life insurance com psny whose possible life and usei ul ness are dependent upon the laws gov. erning it. operations, 8 mutual com. psny. composed solely of it's own policy hclders without any capital stock i; whose cost of operation is paid by the policy holders and whose net profits are paid to the policy holders in the form of annual dividends. If thIs compsDy's operations are limited to one-hslf their normal capacity. annu- ally, then certainly the policy holders lose by the limitation. This law is therefore unjust to them, and it should be so amended as to permit q company to grow within reasonable limits or should be repealed outright

Visit of One of
 The Real Old Timers

Tombstone was visited by one oI the genuine old timers yesterday in the person oi Johnnie" Behap.
 When Cochise was segregated from Pima county at the legislative session of 1880 Sl, Gen. John c. Fremont was 6 ,vernor of Arizona. Among the list of sppointees selected to fill the different positions, John H. Behan was named as sheriff. Those were the days when Tombstone was the typical frontier town and could always be relied upon to furnish at least one man for breakfast every morning.
 The office of sheriff st that time was by no means & sinecure. The country was wild and woolly. The Esrp boys. Doc Holiday, Luke Short. Bat Mssterson, Cha lie Storms, Dave Neagle and other men with A reputa- ton and handy guns, made Tom bstone their habitat, and it required consid. ersble courage as well as & whole lot of diplomacy to fill the position of a peace officer.
 IL wac during Behan's incumbency of the sberiff's office that the fight occurred between Virgil Esrp, who vas city marshal. and his posse. with the Clsnton and McLowry brothers. when Tom and Frank McLowry and Billy Clanton wore killed nesrly in front of THE PRosPEcroR office, The Earps and Doc Holiday, stter the slaughter, bsrricsded themselves in 8 room of the Grand hotel on Allen street and refused to submit to arrest.
 Later Virgil Esrp wac shot in the arm while emerging from the Oriental saloon, his arm being left use- less Morgan Earp WAS Killed in the Billiard Psrlors by one of the fuedists, while Holiday left for Colorado where he died of consumption.
 "Johnny" Behsn. as he is known Q the old timers. is always welcome to the town. He is one of the men who has taken prominent part in the affairs of Arizona ID its early days and helped in making history for Tombstone and Cochise county.

A New Automatic
 IceIess Refrigerator

NJ. K. Sipe of Benson, has just made an automatic iceless refrigerator of his own invention, that not only keeps things cool, but IS ant proof. It is wooden box covered with burlsp, 8 shallow pan over the top contains water, and into this strips of cloth have one end immersed, the strips passing up over the edge and then down to connect with the burlap cov- ering at regular intervals all around the outside. Editor Shinn of the Benson Press. says of it:
 The refrigerator stands on four short legs in shallow dripping pan, and this pan is high enough from the floor to permit a vessel 10 catch the small amount of wssue water from s spout coming from one side of the dripping pan. The strips of cloth draw the water slowly from the top pan by capillary attraction, as a lamp wick draws oil, after once being sat- ursted, and keeps the burlsp wet all the time, even more water than evsp- ors,es being drawn from the top pan in this way. though this could be di- unfinished ty decreasing the width O the strips oi cloth that convey the water from the top pan to the burlap covering.
 The water in the dripping pan pre- vents ants from reaching the refriger- ator. Evaporation from the burlsp lowered tbe temperature 26 degrees in 6 short time.
 Three shelves inside are used to place the food. The lower part is cooler than the upper part, as cold air is the heaviest. A very soft pound Of butter soon got quite firm in the new iceless refrigerator.

Noted SmugsIer
 Is Captured

An Fl Psso dispatch says In the arrest at LsPasa, a hamlet m Sonora | on the Arizona border, of Francisco Durango, the Mexican off icials believe they have captured the di ector of a gigantic smuggling scIeme. Papers found on him indicated be carried on an extensive business in smuggling Chinese across the border. IL appe4rs that he has gotten thousands of coolies into thls country in the past few years. Hundreds of the Chinese have been captured by the immigration authorities in Arizona and the immi- grafton headquarters at Tucson have been iammed with this class of pris- oners for a long time. However by far the greater part of those smuggled across the line by Durango have suc- ceeded ih getting into this country without capture. The man is said to have had a number of associates help ing him on both sides of the line and further arrests are expected.

Tombstone Had a
 Modest Celebration

Despite the rain of yesterday Tomb ston~ had quite a celebration in honor of Independence day, ihe Tombstone youth was in his glory and had fire crackers galore. During the morning Allen street was 8 scene of much rner- riment and excitement. That thor oughfsre was converted into a race course and a number of prizes brought forth d surprising number of contes- tsnts. Sack races, potato races, foot acres and other exciting con. tests enlivened the day which was only abated by the rain about noon. In the afternoon the bail game be- tween the Tombstone and Courtland hines brought out good crowd st the ball grounds and was much enjoyed. Altogether Tombstone's celebration of the our natal day was safe, sane and eminently conservative.

Mexicans Taking
 Places of Negroes

The Pullman company is making an experiment with Mexican porters on the cars as substitutes for negroes On the Mexican Central and other lines in Mexico handled by the Fl Paso district.
 Mexicans have already superseded negroes on some of the runs out of Mexico City, and the change is said to be very satisfactory to the manage mept. There are about 50 porters in Mexico who are under the jurisdiction of the office in Fl Psso, and if the Mexicsns give the satisfaction ex- pected of them it is probable that most of the negroes on these runs will give place to Mexicsns.

 Breaks Up Dance
