This is for the veal Of the entire
state" declared Mr.. Fair to The Her
aid, land our Yuma people are ready
to get in and boost any city that may
be chosen. All we want is to see the
state get the convention.
"Once this city is chosen the dele
gates will be asked to return to their
respective cities and begin an intense
movement to organize as many of the
mining men of the state as possible
in order that each city may send a
large delegation, all possessing vote
in the convention. Those who will not
ally themselves with the American
Mining congress to thus secure a vote
will at least be asked to join the ex-
geles to swell the number Of boosters

will capture the 1911 session by very
force of numbers.

AND INJURIES AGED MOTHER
Man, Believing Himself a Saint,
Takes Long Leap

Believing that he was one of the
saints John Branch, 1911 Palmer street,
an employe of sawmill, jumped out of
a second-story window at his residence
preparatory to flight to heaven yes
terday afternoon. He suffered only
sprained ankle. Then he attacked his
aged mother, Mrs. Anna Branch, "A
years old, who lives at Sawtelle and
was visiting her son at the time, He
bit her on the face. Several abrasions
on the left side and one small abrasion
on the right side of her face were
treated at the receiving hospital.
Branch has entertained radical re-
ligious ideas for some time. Yesterday
afternoon his delusions became pro-
nounced and he was led to attempt
several impossible feats. At the police
station, when it was desired to place
handouts on him, he resisted vigor-
ously at first, but when it was sug-
gested that a saint could easily with
draw from handouts he willingly al
lowed them to be placed on his wrists.
He will be given a hearing before the

W. Jay Fair, secretary of the cham

in the interest of the various cities of
Arizona who are organizing for the
purpose of securing the 1911 session
of the American Mining congress,
which meets in Los Angeles in Sep

Mr. Fair gives it as his opinion that
as a result of the plans that have al
ready been laid and Others now in
contemplation there will not less than
1000 mining, smelling and oil men come
from his state to attend the convention
of mining men here.
He has passed considerable time in
going over the details of these plans
with the local officers of the Sierra
Madre club, and especially with the

goods for cash.
None of the prisoners relatives put
in an appearance at the county Jail or
inquired for him yesterday.
Under Sheriff Brain believes that
many merchants have been victimized
by Hatfield and expects to receive
reports by Monday. The prisoner
stated that he was preparing to leave
for Chicago at the time of his arrest
by Deputy Sheriff Harry Wright.

(The Herald in it's editorial express

convention committee of that club,
which is handling the details of the
coming meeting, and also with a num-
ber of railroad men and will remain
q day or two before returning home to
set in motion the plans already for
mulated.
As outlined. the plans agreed on con-
template two immense excursions, one
from the northern portion of the state
and another from the southern por-
ton, which will pick up delegations
from practically every county of the
state, and especially from every min
ing section.
Mr.. Fair. on his return to Arizona,
will ask the governor to call for a
conference of all chambers of COM
merce of the state to meet at some
neutral city to go over the plans now
formulated to capture the convention.
The effort will be made to place the
demand for the convention on a state
basis, and not do so in the name of
any one city, the city most available
and best suited to the holding of
large convention to be selected by
conference of all boosting organiza-
tions.
In this way all local rivalry will be
eliminated and each community will
be made to realize that the one pur-
pose of the movement is to attract at
tention to the entire states mineral
wealth and not solely for the purpose
of exploiting single city or commun-
ity.
CITIES NOT TOGETHER
A number of the cities of Arizona
have already held meetings and adopt
ed resolutions declaring in favor of a
movement to secure the convention,
but each city is now working entirely
in its own behalf, depending apparent
ly on the hope that the other cities
will later join with them. It is Mr..
Fairs idea, after talking with many
local boosters that it is better for each
city to come together in a conference
through delegates to a state meeting,
thus entirely eliminating friction be-

SENATOR SCORES TRUSTS
in CHAUTAUQUA R
Carnegie and Rockefeller Are At
tackled by Senator Cummins.

COTTONWOOD FALLS. Kas., July
Ex-senator Albert B. Cummins. OF
Iowa. who spoke at the Chase County
Chautauoua here Sunday afternoon
said he chose to deliver a sermon on
the text of Justice rather than talk
on political interests because 1t was
sunday. Then he proceeded to attack
the steel trust and the oil rus and
particularly John D. Rockefeller and
Andrew Carnegie.
Both of those gigantic
are opponents of grave injustice to this
country" he declared. The millions
of dollars which they give h public
for the building of libraries and edu-
c~ational Institutions are nothing more
than returning a part of their great
profits to the American people by way
of atonement. However. that sort OF
atonement will never expiate the
wrongs that thy have done in the fields
of industry"
The senator avoided politics until
near the close of his address. when he
paid a tribute to Senator Joseph L.
Bristow.
"a drawer and truer man to his pol
icies than Bristow has never been seen
on the senate floor" were his words.

ment In that State against New Jersey
automobilists.
IT regret tits movement hat has
been started in Massachusetts,, Now
York and Pennsylvania" he said. and
I believe the present state OF feeling IN
these States is largely due to q ms
understanding. The trouble seems 10
be due to a dissimilarity between New

He called attention to the fact tnal
New Jersey. with New York city and
Philadelphia, composing a territory
the size of Massachusetts. whose
motorists regularly use New Jersey
roads, has a population of approximate
iy 5000, 00O.A
Notwithstanding the alleged boycott
of New Jersey by motorists.' he con-
tinued, ''there are more non-resloeht
than resident cars within the STATE
and the aggregate horsepower OF resi-
dent TO nonresident cars Is aDou IN
the proportion OF w to three. Tnere
Ia availible to these nonresident cars
approximately 1000 miles Of improved
New Jersey roads built at a cost OF
more than SIS, 900, 900. and costing last
year more than 81, 900. 900 to repair. This
year the state will expend more tnan
81, 900. 900 for repairs alone. inc the

NEW COIN-STRIPPING PLAN
UNEARTHED BY DETECTIVES

NEW YORK. July 25.-Secret Serv-
Ice agents who have been at work in
the Maiden lane jewelry district have
found a new form Of coin-stripping, by
which gold Is obtained from coins and
sold. the coins being put back into cir
culation, apparently as good as ever
The new process consists in placing
the coins In a burlap bag, which Is
shaken vigorously. Thus tiny flakes of
metal are knocked of the coins and
cling to the bag, which is then burned,
the gold melting into wee ingots.
The treasury department at Wash
ington has been getting back of late
large quantities OF gold coins which
seemed o scratched and battered
than ordinarily. Under the microscope
1t became evident that these coins had
been handled with strange violence and
special agents were Sent here to inves-
tigate.
