 The Associated Press will stand for a good many things, but it probably will not stand for the words within the quotation marks if they are brought to it's attention.
 That is a kind of rot that it does not permit it's correspondents to file. Even if all the things had happened that were described in the fabrication, the Associated Press would not permit it. self to be made the vehicle for that kind of matter There is not an Asso- Ciated Press correspondent in ;he world who has SD little sense as to try to put that kind of stuff on the wire, and there is no other newspaper in the United States save and except the Ari- zOna Gazette, which has such a rudi- mentary notion of the properties as to make it appear that the Associated Press conveyed that rot.
 It will probably not make just this kind of a mistake again. The Associ- ated Press does not forbid the harm less alteration of it's dispatches, but it certainly takes cOgniZance of an alter ation which makes it appear that it has. violated one of it's own most rigid rules

The Arizona Gazette, not content with printing thousands of words of fake telegraph every day, makes over what few genuine dispatches it gets to suit it's policies.

ri EW YORK.-In the city of New
~ York, where millionaires seem to
thrive like mushrooms in cellar,
there Is being constructed an apart
ment house in which a suite of rooms
will rent for $4,000 year. Probably
This rental is the highest that has ever
been asked for an apartment, even
such as will be found in this house, a
series of 18 rooms and so many baths
ent one every day in the week and
two on Sunday without doubling on
his trail. 1t is the apotheosis of lux
ury; the last word, so far as the hui
man mind of today can imagine, in
scandalous magnificence. In other
words, the builders of this house have
set new pace for spendthrifts in the
way of living. A yearly rental of $751;
900 is the highest that has ever before
been asked for unfurnished housekeep-
ing apartments in New York city.
The new apartment house will have
II apartments-one on each of the II
floors-and five duplex apartments in
addition. The eleventh and twelfth
floors will be devoted to apartments
which will occupy all the floor space.
and these will rent for $25,000 year.
The apartments which share a floor
with half of a duplex apartment will
rent for $4,000.
The architects have arranged the
suites so that each of these big floors
shall have more and larger rooms than
