PATTEN RETIRES TO
SAVE SICK BR0T :. Err.
Devotion to George W. Draws Wheat
King From MOney-Makine.

Chicago,-It was to save, if possi-
BILE, the life of his brother George
that James A. Patten, wheat king,
cotton king, daring speculator and
millionaire, retired from active bust
ness on the Chicago board of trade in
the very hey-day of his meteoric and
successful career.
The story of a mans deep-rooted
affection and love for his brother is
contained in the story of James A.
Patten's voluntary retirement from
business in which he reyeled which
weer as a part of his life, and in
which he had piled up and was con-
tinuing to pile up day by day and
month by month millions upon mil
lions.
George w. Patten is lying in the
palatial home of his brother "Jim"
Evanston a nervous wreck. He has
shown signs of incipient tuberculosis
for long time. His health is broken
by long and close confinement to busi-
ness by the excitement and the strain
that came of the nerYe-racking deals
in wheat ard corn and oats.
George w. Patten planned many
of the brilliant coups which has made
the name of Patten known the coun-
try over. Oftentimes he had hard
work in convincing his brother "Jim"
that certain course should be ad-
hered t.. sometimes he did not onite
convince MIN. But his logic was al
ways good. Often convinced against
his better Judgment, James A. Patten
would go into big deals that George
Patten had mapped out-and there
were few times that the judgment of
the quiet, unassuming brother was
found to have erred
The elder brother, always watchdog
the younger, became convinced that
nothing but absolute retirement from
the cares and> worries of business
would save George w. Patterns life.
Then he proposed>quietly that they
both retire from the market. There
were big deals on then; the future
looked bright; but James A. Patten
determined to efface himself as a
factor in the business life of the
board of trade for the sake of his only
brother.
George w. demurred; his brother
was adamaut. The retirement of the
Pattens came July l.

Graham Delegate Cobb Wants to be Head
of Constitutional Convention.


Lamar Cobb, of Clifton, and A. NJ.
Tuthill, of Morenci, both recently
elected delegates to the constitu-
tional convention in Graham county
on the democratic ticket, were in the
city Wednesday.
"The voters of Graham, like those
of Maricopa, do not feel that the re-
suit of the recent election is so much
victory for the democratic party,
as it was a victory for the people.
"The democratic candidates all
over the territory were pledged to
stand for the rights of the people.
and now that it is certain that our
party will be in control of the con-
vention, 1 wish TO say that 1 would
stake my life that-every party pledge
will be carried out by the democratic
delegates"
Mr.. Cobb is one of the best known
democrats in the territory having at
one time been a member of the terri
torial legislature.
While in the city Cobb stated that
he was candidate for the position
of president of the constitutional
convention. It is understood that
his county delegation is solidly be-
hind him and that he has all ready
secured a big backing in the race.
E. E. Ellinwood, of Bisbee, is also in
the race for the presidency of the
convention.

Douglas As Army Headquarters.

Douglas, Arizona, The report of
General Thomas in which he ad-
vocated the army post site west of
Douglas for a concentrated army
headquarters on the border, if the
decline of Fort Huachuca is taken to
mean the abandonment of that post,
has raised hue and cry in Tucson
and Ell Paso, both of which cities
want the coveted prize. The truth
of the matter is that Tucson at one
time had Fort Lowell, which was
abandoned because of flood conditions
on the, desert there, and Douglas peo-
pie cannot see that there is any
strength in the contention of that
city that the new post should go
there. Besides, ~ Douglas is the
stra tegic point on the border, situated
as it is in the Sulphur Springs valley,
giving outlet into the rich districts
of Sonora, and railroad outlets north,
south, east and west. The climate of
Douglas ranks with the finest in the
world; clear sunny atmosphere makes
ideal conditions for artillery and gun
practice, and the army can have as
many square miles as it desires of the
Government land Immediately west
of the city, with a background of
mountains. Water is another item
that has been considered. The un-
derground flow in the Sulphur Spring 5

far as domestic purposes are con
cerned, and the wells at the big smel-
ters developed 1,500 gallons a minute
with one inch of air. Floods are un-
known on the site looked over by the
army officers when they examined the
site not long ago. Tucson and e.
Paso are on the wrong tack-the soldier
boys are coming to Douglas.

IMPORTANT PART EOR ARIZONA.
Territorial Militia TO be Big Figure at
AtdsCdderO.

Camp Atascadero, Sept. 15.-The
first day of the four weeks of army
maneuyers which began at Camp
Atascadrro under Brigadier General
Tasker H. Bliss, was spent by the
regulars in camp and by many officers
familiarizing themselves with the
topography of the country over which
field operations will take place. In
many respects the maneuvers and
field movements of regular troops
and the national guards of Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico will
be more exuensiye, and more difficult
problems will be involved in the field
operations two years ago.
Sixteen officers have been detailed
as umpires to observe the operations
of troops and render decisions in the
game war between the Red and Blue
forces. Each officer will be placed in
command of larger bodies of troops
in the field than are afforded him at
any army post. The manner in
which he acquits himself will be de-
eided by the umpires and the com
mander in chief of the staff Major
W. Worth
Tomorrow morning the troops are
to take the field operations of the
present maueuvers. The infantry
will be given preference in defense,
which will extend over rolling ground
in the southern part of the reserva-
tion.
Selection of tactical movements
will be by battalions, which proba bly,
will be supported by a machine gun
platoon. The cavalry will operate
in squadron for nation. while the
artillery, signal corps and other
branches of the service will have
special instructions during the day.
The first national guard will reach
camp tomorrow, when eight compan-
les of territorial troops of Arizona
will arrive in two special trains
Major F. R. Day, of the 3Oth In
fantry, commanding Fort Mason, San
Francisco, is detailed to coach the
Arizona militia, with the title of
spector-instructor
An effort is being made to interest
some amateur aviators in making
aeroplanes for military purposes.
The war department failed to grant
the request for a detachment from
the army aerial corps, as no appro-
priation was available for such ex-
periments by the army, The only
chance of making such experiments
here lies in the hope that some am
bilious California ayiaters will yolun-
teer their services.

Poor Are Barred From Reception To
Cardinal.

Montreal, Those who did not have
a dress suit or evening gown were re-
fused admission to the civic reception
to Papal Legate Cardinal Vannutelli
This action of the civic committee of
arrangements in charge of the enter
tainment of the Eucharistic congress
was bitterly denounced by many OF
poorer classes of the city. The only
concession in the matter of dress that
the committee would make was not
10 insist on decollete gowns or the
wearing of hats. Only 5000 invi-
tations we're issued. Cardinal Van
nutelli has quite recovered from the
effect of mis- fainting spell brought on
by the fatigue of the reception given
by the Canadian government.

Yosemite Falls Come TO Life.

Yosemite, Cal.,-The Yosemite
falls one of the sights of the valley,
which has been dry for some weeks,
was restored to activity this after
noon with a suddeness that alarmed
the guests of the hotel at dinner.
The wall of water suddenly plunged
over the top of the falls and took the
1900 foot leap, landing with a roar
heard for miles. 1t is believed that
a cloudburst in the mountains was the
cause. At 10 p. m. the volume was
equal to any spring high water record.

Copper Continues 10 Improve.

The outlook for the copper indus
try is better than it has been for the
past two years. First, because one.
half the product is sold abroad and
conditions there are extremely favor.
able now and growing more so all the
time. Secondly, because the record
| for 1910 up to date shows that con.
sumption has, practically, equalled
production, says the Boston Finau,
cial News. Third, because consump-
tion is gaining rapidly abl DAD and
with a return of normal conditions
in this country it would soon run be-
yond the normal production. Fourth,
because the larger interests have got
together and made a beginning that
will eventuate in a working control
of the industry. Fifth, because there
is the best of expert advice to the
effect that the mines now in sight
represent the total possible addition
to the production for many years to
come.
The reports of the Copper Pro-
ducers' association for the year 1909
show that the combined surplus here
and in Europe was increased to the
extent of 137 1893, 900 pounds, while
the same statistics for the first eight
months of 1910, show that the sur
plus has increased only i, ,356, 900
pounds. 1t is Obvious that a great
change for the better has taken
place in the industry since the first
of this year, Notwithstanding that
the metal prices have declined. The
production this year has averaged
above that for 1909, so that the sur
plus shows only an infintesimal in
crease this year as compared with
1909, can only be explained on the
ground that consumption has in
creased to the extent of the differ
ence between the increases in the
surplus for the two years.
1t is understood that President
Ryan of the Amalgamated made a
more thorough investigation of the
conditions in Europe, as they bear on
the probable consumption of copper
than ever before, during his recent
trip, and also that he was most agree
ably surprised, both at the present
rate OF consumption and the pros
poets for the future. The larger use
of the metal aboard, particularly in
Germany, has been partially due to
the extension of the use of cleo
tricity for traction purposes, but the
low prices have stimulated consump-
tion abroad as we'll as here and we
are undoubtedly the main factor in
the present enormous consumption,
which is larger abroad than ever be-
fore, and as large in this country as
during the period prior to the panic
when we experienced, practically
speaking, a copper famine.

TWO CHIMES; ARE HELD
UP AND ONE MURDERED.
Hiehwayman RObS Gardeners Near
Hereford, Wounds One, Stays
Another and Escapes.

Bisbee, Arizona, a,-After robbing
two Cinnamon at the point of rifle,
a lone masked bandit killed one of
{ the men and shot the other, near
Hereford, Is miles southwest of Bis
bee about 4:3O o'clock last Friday
afternoon. The wounded man was
struck 10 the arm, according to re-
ports received here. He was not
dangerously wounded. The highway
man escaped.
The Chinese were gardeners. They
had spent the day in Bisbee disposing
of garden truck and were on their
way home to Hereford. They trav-
eled with team of horses aud a
wagon.
While making their way along the
Bisbee road, about eight miles from
Hereford, the highwayman stepped
out of concealment and ordered them
to throw up their hands. The Chinese
complied with the request. The rob-
Der then commanded them to step
from the wagon and place their
money in heap in the road. After
they had done this he commanded
them to back away, which they did.
Scooping up the money the high
wayman started to leave. Reports
differ as to the circumstances leading
to the shooting. One report is that
the Chineman who was shot made a
move as if to grapple with the robber
after he had secured the money.
Another is that the highwayman shot
down the man and his companion
without the least provocation.
The robber was armed with rife
and revolver. He was tall slim fell
low ore a light felt hat and yellow
slicker. He used a white handker-
chief as a mask.
The slayer escaped to the Mule
mountains, towards this city it is re-
ported. He was on foot when he ac-
costed the Chinese. but it is generally
believed he had horse concealed in
the mountains or nearby brush.
1t is not known how much money

was killed and his companion does
not know how much he had. How
ever it IS not brlieved the bandit
secured more than $50
After the murder the companion of
the dead man picked up the victims
body and placed it in the wagon and
droye on to Hereford where the alarm
was given. Descriptions of the rob-
ber we're sent to all parts of the
county.
The residents of Hereford notified
Sheriff Jack White, of Tombstone,
of the robbery and murder and he in
return notified Constable McRea of
this city. officer McRae started to
Hereford on horseback and went as
far as the San Pedro river. He did
not secure any trace of the slayer.
Rauchers along that vicinity had
been previously advised of the affair
and kept a diligent search for the
fugitive, but secured no trace of him.
Constable McRae believes that the
robber and murderer continued west
and went towards the Mexican border
instead of coming towards this city.
1t is believed that the bandit was
an American.

Arizona Sure Democratic State.

The result of the recent election
in Arizona should be enough to con-
vince the most optimistic republican
that when the time comes for choos-
ing the first set of officers and the
first legislature of the new state,
that democracy will be triumphant
in Arizona. The election of Ralph
Cameron two years ago was one of
those unaccountable results which
often happen in the history of poll
tics. The same thing occurred in
1894 when the late John Herndon, of
Prescott, was defeated by Hon. N. o.
Murphy, a republican.
When it was known there was no
effort whatever on the part of the
territorial democratic organization
and the county democratic organiza-
tiop was crippled for want of funds,
the sweeping victory shows that the
democrats are today more numerous
than ever in the history of the terri
tory.
The republicans of Arizona never
before made more determined ef-
fort in a campaign and their promi-
nent leaders were sent into every
county to make an appeal to the
people to forget party allegiance and
allow republicans to go to Phoenix
and write the constitution of the
state, asserting that this would make
statehood certain and declaring that
democratic success might again
arouse opposition on the part of re-
publican leaders in the senate.
Such an argument not only failed
to appeal to democrats but disgusted
many republicans who believed that
the people of Arizona should be al
lowed to choose their own constitu-
tion makers and should not counte-
nance any threats, either open or
veiled.
The people of Arizona voted for
the democrats because they believed
the democrats would write into the
constitution the things they desired
to be there. The democrats were
definite in their platform pledges
and made an aggressive fight for the
principles for which they declared,
pledging their candidates to carry
them out not so with the republicans;
they made no definite promises and
failed to instruct their candidates
to carry out even the indefinite
promises they finally devoted their
every energy to the task of making
the people believe that if the demo
Gratis were allowed to write the con-
that fact would block the
statehood program if the republican
contention in this matter continues
certainly our chances are mighty
slim to become a state, as there will
not be enough republicans in the con-
convention to fill proper
assignments of committees from the
But we do not believe the republi-
cans were sincere in their declara-
tion that they feared for statehood,
but that this bug-a-boo was put for
ward only for campaign purposes.
Among the republicans elected are
some good men possessing required
abilitG to participate in the work of
framing a constitution, particularly
do we regard Judge Kingan and
Judge Cooper as men fitted for this
work. There should be nothing
political in the constitutional conven-
tion and we hope to see all the dele
gates work in perfect harmony to
make a constitution of which Ari-
zonans may feel proud and which will
receive the admiration and sanctioa
of the entire country.
