MESA COMMERCIAL
 CLUB ORGANIZED
Takes Place of Chamber of Com
 meree, But with Broader Aims.

With the organization, Thursday evening. of the Mesa Commercial club. | the Mesa Chamber of Commerce passed into history. The new club is designed to be social as we'll as com
 mercial and will further to some ex- tent the work of the chamber was expected to do. The new organiza- tion is broader than the old in it's | aims and purposes.
 For some time the Mesa Chamber of Commerce has been practically dead. It was found that Mesa was not yet large enough to properly maintain an exhibit and do all the work that is expected of such an in- stitutiOn. That will come later, when
 Mesa has grown a little more. In the mean time, some organiZa- ton of business men who will work together for the advancement of the city was needed. It was realized that when distinguished visitors came to the city, such as the board of army engineers who were recently here. there should be some club or society to entertain them Nor was Mesa large enough to maintain a purely so- Cldl OTSdilIdIiOH SuCI dS IlOtIllA IdS in the Arizona club.
 Thus was evolved the idea Of q combined social and commercial club a club of business men ready at all times to work together for the advancement of Mesa and also to entertain her visitors. Something like the City club and the Young Mems Phoenix club of this city. but with regular club rooms, was planned
 Thursday night a number of the citizens got together and arranged the details. Quarters will be secured in one of the leading business blocks of Mesa. Here will be a reception room and other rooms with card tables, pool and billiards and other games.
 Whenever anyone of more than us- ual note goes to Mesa he will be met by representatives of the club, given a card entitling him to it's privileges and otherwise made to feel that Mesa is glad to see him. Members have the privilege of issuing cards.
 The Commercial club now has about sixty members and is rapidly growing. Mesa business men are very enthusi- astic over their new organization and intend that it shall be a credit to the city in every way.

SAYS HE BLEW UP
 TIMES, THEN DENIES
Edward Gilman Tells Police Weird Tale
 and Is Held for Investigation.

Relating what is believed to be a story emanating from whiskey- logged brain. Edward Gilham. for sev- eral weeks employed at the American Kitchen as waiter, was placed in the city jail early yesterday morning, sus- pected of having been connected with the blowing up. of the Times building in Los Angeles on the morning of Oc- tober l. For time the police were in clined to give credence to the story told by Gilman, but when the man came to his senses several hours later he de- nied- that he knew anything of the Times affair and that he had no recol- lection of having told a story which would in any way connect him with the crime
 Gilman had been drinking pretty freely Thursday night and later wan dered into the rooms of the Salvation Army. There he assumed the air of a penitent and proceeded to relate to the captain in charge a tale of his. alleged connection with the Times disaster. The captain notified the police and the man was taken to the police station and closely questioned.
 According to the story he told. GiI- ham was one of a party of seventeen who had determined to destroy the building of the Times. The entire number was blindfolded and lots were drawn. The lot fell to Gilman, who was to have two assistants, whom he designated as McNeil and Ryan. The crime was to have been perpetrated at an hour after the paper had gone to press, and it was planned that there should be no loss of life.
 Some act of pressma1. said Gilman, set off the dynamite, which had been secured in Arizona. Following the ex- plosion, McNeil went to Cotton and Ryan to San Bernardino Gilman says he came to Yuma, thence to Tempe and later to Phoenix, arriving here a day or two after the building was destroyed. Constant worrying. he said, constrained him to give himself up.
 Last night Gilman denied all knowl- edge of having told such a story, and said if he did connect himself with the affair there was absolutely nothing to it. He said that he had been reading novels by Maxim GOrky. TolstOi and Henry w. Savage, which contained tales of Nihilistic plots until his mind was full of the incidents. He guessed the liquor caused him to have haIlu- cinatiOns He said he was in Phoenix at the time of the disaster and could prove it. The police are holding him pending investigation and are expecting from the Los Angeles pO- lice

SPEEDY MINOR HEIR
 WINS BY AN EYELASH HE GAVE LADY MAUD C AND GEORGE GANG A SCORE. Preparing to Make Some Worlds
 Records Here Next Week.

Fl Paso, Nov 4.-(Special)- )-Before horsemen and horsewomen at the Fl Paso fair this afternoon, Minor Heir beat Lady Maud c and George Gano in a sensational race. Dan Patch and Hedgewood Boy the other mem bers of the famous Savage stable did not enter the championship race but were on exhibition and received their full share of admiration and applause.
 The horses will be shipped on the 10:55 train, bound for Phoenix where they will be seen in world record lowering efforts next Tuesday. To- days race was in the nature of a work out in preparation for the su- preme efforts to be made at Phoenix next week. The local track is a half mile course and was a long ways from fast. In spite of this fact Minor Heir negotiated the mile in 2:0615 only a second and three-quarters below the worlds race record over a half mile track
 He did this too, not withstanding the fact. that he threw a shoe just after he got the word and Driver Hersey had all he could do to keep him on a pace during the first half at which post he was fully four lengths behind the other pacers He picked up rapidly on the second time around and fairly flying through the stretch he beat Lady Maud c by an eyelash. The finish brought the great crowd to its feet and the al plausc was tremendous.
 This work by Minor Heir and the others of the famous stable shows them to be in the pink of condition and gives evidence that some worlds records are sure to be broken at the Arizona Fair Tuesday. After the horses had been cooled out Hersey expressed himself as being entirely satisfied and those who know the lit tie driver know what good things that means.

And should that court hold the ini- tiative and referendum unconstitutional, is it likely that the president will ever approve the Arizona constitution? You are, therefore. by inserting this matter in the constitution, delaying. if not ultimately defeating, statehood.
 Delay or Defeat.
 With the grave doubt in my mind as to the cOnstitutionality of the proposal and with the conviction. as before stat ed, that it's insertion in the constitu- tion of Arizona will delay, and per haps entirely defeat statehood, I can not give this proposal my support.

MUST NOT JUMP
OFF BRIDGE
Sheriff Ferguson States De-
scendent of Steve Brody
Will Be Prevented.

There has been some talk for the
past several days of an exhibition to
be made here ON July 4th. A de-
scendant of Steve Brody, the man
who was made famous by his jump
off Niagara Bridge into the river,
has opened up negotiations to make
a jump off a pier on the Columbia
river bridge into the river. The
sheriff, however, states that while
this probably would be an attract
i've feature for the Fourth of July
celebration, yet the jump could not
be made without the sanction of his
office and in fact every effort would
be made to prevent it. While this
feature may be eliminated from the
celebration program yet the commit
tee state that they have other fea-
lures which will be just as attract
i've and which will be just as good
drawing cards as the jump from the
Columbia river into the cold water.

SION Of COURT
Nc Connie Awarded by the
Court 400 Inches of
Moses Lake Water.
NO LAND CONTRACTS

Withdrawn Land and
Backers Fail.
NO LAND CONTRACTS

The people of this section and
those of the Ephrata country con-
versant with the McConihe litigation
were greatly surprised yesterday at
the verdict of the supreme court in
the McConihe matter. AS the decis-
ion now stands McConihe is awarded
the water of Moses Lake, 400 cubic
feet of water per second, all in fact,
outside of 200 inches awarded to
Martin & Turner, but it is said that
while he has the water that he has
no land. His original contract called
for every alternate section in the
territory adjacent to Moses Lake, be-
ing the Northern Pacific holdings.
Since the litigation started it was
said that the Northern Pacific lands
had been withdrawn and at present
time are not for sale. 1t Is also said
that the Armours of Chicago and st.
Louis, who were backing McConihe,
have withdrawn their support, con-
sequently it leaves McConihe with
the water but no land and no back
ing and there is a great deal Of kick
ing over the decision of the supreme
court as 1T now stands, it being be-
lieved that the awarding of the wa
ter to McConihe will retard develop
ment of that section.
Wenatchee men, who were in the
Moses Lake country yesterday, state
that apparently it is the purpose of
the Great Northern to exploit that
section of the country, believing it
to have the future of a great irriga-
ton district. e. c. Leedy, general
immigration agent of the Great Nor
thern, spent several days in that Sec
ton gathering information on which
to base an advertising campaign.

A citizen of the city who is inter-
ested in seeing Wenatchee make a
creditable showing on July 4th and
5th, expressed himself this morning
that there are not enough flag poles
in this city and he advocated that
the committee should ask the own
ers of all the new buildings and and
the most prominent of the older ones
to put up flag poles and make a dis
play of Old Glory on the celebration
days. He also suggests that the
cheaper grade of Fourth of July
bunting should not be used as this
creates far from a good impression.

ASKS ABOUT APRIL
FREEZE
Chicago Business Man
Hears Wenatchee Has
Bad Freeze.

Secretary Coburn, of the Wenat-
chez Commercial Club, was in re-
ceipt of a letter this morning from
T. G. Hollenberger, who is somewhat
interested in this section of the coun-
try. Mr.. Hollenberger is the Chica-
go manager for the International
Harvester company and he writes
that he has heard in Chicago that the
Wenatchee valley would have but
about forty per cent of a crop owing
to the April freeze. He has written
Mr.. Coburn to get definite informa-
ton.
The secretary of the club wrote
the Chicago man a letter in full this
morning, telling him that the effects
of the freeze were not felt at all in
this valley and that an abnormal
crop would be harvested. He also
told of the work that is being done
by all the growers in thinning-work
that employs hundreds of men
throughout the valley.
The fasteners cannot appreciate
a country which year after year es-
capes the frost king and naturally
supposed that inasmuch as the cen
trail states, Colorado, Utah and 9TH
er fruit sections were badly damaged
that Wenatchee would also suffer.
He will have an awakening when he
receives Mr.. Coburn's letter.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 3.-Farm-
ers in Butler, Hamilton, Clermont
and Brown counties of Ohio, as we'll
as those in Southern Indiana and
Northern Kentucky, report loss of
easily $250,000 from the hailstorms
and continued cold of the past few
days. They say that unless imme-
date warmth sets in, they fear it
will extend to other crops, so far I'M
molested by the storm, and that it
will do damage to the extent of cas-
lily $1,0OO,0OO.
Ayers l.. Bramble of Brown coun-
ty. Ohio. says that the farmers are
busy reploughing AMI replanting
their corn and wheat, and that If
this gets a good start by the con-
tinued warmth of the weather it will
be all right again. The vegetables
he pronounced to be destroyed for
all time.

Thursday Unexpectedly and unher

Rain, which had begun to fall af-

turned into snow and hail. The brisk
June snow storm lasted but two and

to rain and slight sleet. Despite
the prediction that the cold weather
would have a palliative in the form
of sunshine, the sun refused to come
out, and black clouds gathered at
an early hour and emptied their con-

TRIP
Lack of Transportation Prevents Ex-
cursiOn Party From Leaving
Before July.

U. X. Lail, of the excursion COM
mittee of the commercial club, states
it will not be possible to make the
Methow trip before the latter part Of
July. The boat company is now
handling a great deal of freight and
it does not care to make any arrange
ments to transport an excursion
party or autos up the river until the
bulk of the freight season is over.
The committee has in mind fixing a
date some time about the middle of
July, and it is expected that a great
many Wenatchee people will desire
to make the trip.
