New York, Dec. 29.-Alexander
Stultz, 70 years old, Brooklyn
butcher, could not go alone to his
death. Poor business and declining

could not leave behind two dogs that
had been his pets for years. Stultz
took the dogs to his room with him,
locked the door, closed all crevces and
turned on the gas. When the fumes
were discovered today, policeman
broke into the room and found the old
man dead sitting in = chair, with the
dead dogs lying at his feet.

Detroit, Dec. 29.-Mayor Philip II

January !, was asked yesterday-in what
light he now viewed his policy Of

taken in Los Angeles, CAL, yesterday
after two days OF conference between the
chamber OF commerce and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton. The dynamiting of the Llewellyn

opinion and brought about yesterday .
secret meeting. It was also officially
announced that scores OF bust mess men
had volunteered 10 serve on the COM
nittee, and that the total membership
would be limited for the present to
1000. For nearly two hours the ques-
ton was discussed by over 500 business
men. The history OF the dynamiting
OF the Times was related and evidence

spiracy exists to perpetrate more dyna-
hitting against shop industries, The
belief that certain labor leaders ere
planning reign OF terror in Los An
geles is openly expressed. History is
ever repeating itself. Sixty years ago

DOUGLAS WATER PLANT.
lDouglas InternatIenal.l

Douglas International
 A municipally owned water plant is now assured for Douglas. The final step came in the senate of the United States yesterday when the enabling act passed by the house also passed the upper body. The news of this was conveyed to City Clerk T. A. Daley last night in the form of telegram from C. M. Bon nell, who has been the steering committee at Washington for the bond buyers. Mir. BonnelI tels- graphs that the bill passed yester- day and that he will be able to take up the bonds in a few days. Thus a municipally owned water plant is at hand The city government of Douglas has perfected an achieve ment which will make it memorable in the affairs of the city.
 It is probable that only a short time will now be required to take over the existing plant by the city.  When the project was first under taken it was not thought that il would be necessary to await the consent of congress. At least this was the fact so far as the bond buyers were concerned. though City Attorney Lockwood held otherwise. Later the bond buyers changed their opinion and the result was the delay Of several months which occurred.
 Another good thing for the city will result from the news received last night. 1t Is expected. It is understood that there Is an appro- priation which will now come back to the city from the bond issue and that such fund is applicable for the installation of a box fire alarm system of which the city constant ly feels the need. The present coun- cil favors the use Of that fund for such purpose and 1t is expected that the contract for an up-to-date fire alarm system can now be let.

 Among the bands which have already been engaged to accompany bodies of the Antlered Herd to De- troit are the most celebrated in the localities from which they come. The Elks. whenever accompanied by a band. invariably demand the best obtainable in the musical line.

POSTAL RECEIPTS SHOW
 GROWTH OF OOUGlE
1poagIas InternatIonal.l

That the growth of Douglas has been continual during the last sey- ca years is proven to be a fact be- sond contradiction by the business transacted in the postoffice in this city. as shown by the records of that office" declared Postmaster F. k. Cadwell yesterday afternoon.
 The total receipts of the office kaye increased for every year and fer esery quarter Of every year. ac- cording to the reports made for these periods. On account of this constant increase of business the salary of Postmaster Caldwell has been increased several times since his appointment in 1903. Another increase in salary will come to Mir. Caldwell with the beginning of April ss a result of further increase in business. The Douglas pcstoffice is now of the second class and the total receipts for postage. box rents and issuance of money orders am oaBted to s2e.s0o for the year end ing today. The passing of the s20.000 point adds slO0 per annum to the salary of the postmaster and be- ginning with tomorrow his salary win be s2600 per annum.
 Continuing about the postoffice business Postmaster Caldwell said that while 1t was true that Douglas had lost business during the past three years. this business shortage was in Mexico to the south of the city and that this business did not contribute any considerable part of the business of the postoffice
 T can say positively that the population of Douglas and the coun- try served from our postoffice has steadily increased and that it is larger today than any time in the past. While we lost some popuIa- ton on account of the transferrence several years sgo of many of the railroad shopmen to Fl Paso we SdAAIN III HOIuld+4t-z the valley and in the suburbs of the city" continued the postmaster. Recently l had occasion to drive a guest through the city to show him its beauty and importance and during the drise we encountered more than thirty new houses under construction including the magniti- cent new high school building. Doug Las has made substantial growth dur ing the past year and in my opinion will continue to do so'
 Postmaster Caldwell stated that the Douglas postoffice had kept well up with the procession of other Ari- zona cities in the matter of increas- ing its business. It is true that several offices in the territory do a larger business. but comparative " Douglas has shown increase in proportion to any of them during the past year except Globe.
