GEORGE YOUNG ROBBED
BY Two Men in a Tucson Liv-
cry Stable

While he was sitting in the door
way of the Club stables, at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Broadway,
Tucson, about 7:30 o'clock Tuesday
evening, May 17th, George Young,
an old man, about 70 years of age,
was assaulted, gagged and robbed
of 1915, which happened to be
every cent he had in the world.
Young says he is positive one of
his assailants is his roommate, fire.
man named Robert Lyall. He swore
to a complaint yesterday morning
in Justice buttons court, and
warrant was issued for Lyall's ar
rest. The fireman it was ascer-
tanned, had gone out on an extra
eastbound freight. He was arrest
ed at Bowie under telegraphic in
struction from Acting Chief of Po-
lice Sullivan.
1t so happened that Young was
the only one at the livery stable at
the time of the robbery. He sus-
pected nothing wrong, however,
when two men stepped up close to
him and opened a conversation on
some trivial topic. One stood close
in front of him, while the other
stepped behind with the intention,
as Young thought, of taking a seat
in chair nearby. Instead he
reached over and throttled the old
man, gagging him effectually by
crowding a handkerchief into his
mouth.
The two men picked him up, car
ried him back into the stable and
cody took his money from him.
Both were powerful men, and
Young was left bleeding profusely
from the rough handling which he
received.
AS soon us the robbers disappear
ed Young reported his loss to the
city police.
George Young lived here for
many years on his ranch in the
Artesian belt, south Of Stafford. He
sold his ranch several months ago
and went to Tucson to live.

PASSING UNEVENTFUL
Scientists Gain Much Data--On
ly of Negative Nature

The earth passed through the
tail of Halley's comet, and so far as
the eminent scientists at the Yerkes
Observatory, at Williams Bay, Wis,
are concerned, they are not one
whit the wiser than they were be-
fore the transit. .....
Several things have been proved
by the phenomenon, but they have
been proved in a negative manner.
Science in way has been vindicat-
ed, and that is as far as any man at
Williams Bay will go in his state
ments. r..
These scientists, the men who had
spent the greater part of their lives
in the study of the stars and the
heavens, averred before then that
the earth would suffer no i'll eff
fects by its passage through the
comets tail. Now they know that
these statements were correct.
They said that no odor or cyano-
gen gas would be noticeable on the
earth. They were correct. They
said that the earth's atmosphere
was the protecting blanket thrown
around the Globe to protect it from
just such things as the comet of
1910. They were correct.
They said that the comets tail
was composed of a gaseous mass mix
ed with fine, very minute particles
of solid matter. They still stick to
this statement, but the observations
on the night of May 18th, in no way
showed them that it is absolutely
correct.
To get at the long and the short
of it nothing of Importance happen
ed during the long hours of the
night in which great telescope
cameras and all of the scientists
paraphernalia were trained on the
heavens.

EDWARDS BODY in TOMB
Burial Ceremonies More Mag.
nificent Than at Any 9th
er Royal Funeral

Friday, May Goth, Sovereigns and
representatives of the powers of all
the world paid their last tribute to
Edward VII, whose body now rests
in st. Georges Chapel at Windsor
Castle.
Sunshine followed night of
thunder storms and London's mill
ions filled the streets and open
places, as they have never before
filled them, either at funeral or a
festival.
All the pageantry that marked
the burial of Victoria was as naught
when compared with Fridays spec
tacle, splendid in its accompaniments
of gilded coaches, brilliant uniforms
and decorations.
The procession included nine SOW
ereigns, the former president of the
United States, Roosevelt, who alone
was unarrayed in uniform; the heirs
of several thrones, the members of
the royal families, the officers of the
household, the officials of the gov
ernment, field marshals, generals
and admirals, detachments of troops
of all the British arms, and repre-
sentatives of foreign armies and
navies who, in variegated uniforms,
made solid phalanx of glittering
colors.
Arriving at Paddington station,
the casket was placed in the funeral
car, which carried the funeral party
to Windsor. The car was occupied
by King George, Queen Mary, the
queen mother, Alexandra; eight
other sovereigns and near relatives.
Special trains followed with the
high officials, foreign representatives
and special ENJOYS.
Bluejackets dragged the gun car
riage through line of purple to
st. Georges chapel and there simple
services were said by the Archbish-
ops of Canterbury and York, as
sisted by other prelates. King
George, with Alexandra on his arm,
walked up the nave behind the coffin,
with the German Emperor and Queen
Mary following.
During the services the widowed
queen moved to the foot Of the
catafalque and knelt, and just as
the coffin was lowered to the crypt,
King George placed on the coffin a
rOYal standard.

PLAN A BIG COLONY
Options Secured on 5000
Acres of Rich Land in
Santa Cruz Valley
TO Be TAKEN UP BY M0RM0NS
Tracts Will Be Cut Up Into
Twenty, Forty and Sixty
Acre Farms

From an authentic source it was
learned yesterday that options have
been secured on the w. H. Manning
ranch, otherwise known as the Flow
ing Wells ranch, and on the Allison
brothers ranch, in the Santa Cruz
valley, with the object of colonizing
them with Mormons, who will en-
gage in agricultural pursuits.
The proposition is one of the most
gigantic colonization schemes ever
undertaken in this immediate sec
ton of the country, and is of vast
import to Tucson. The Manning
and Allison ranches consist of 5000
acres of rich agricultural land lying
along the fertile Santa Cruz valley.
Beginning near the San Xavier mis-
sion, nine miles south of Tucson,
the Allison ranch extends along the
valley to a junction with the Man
ming ranch, which extends north
west of Tucson, and is one of the
best in the country. Extensive i'm
provements have been made on the
two ranches and water in abundance
is to be had, the Santa Cruz river
supplying all that is needed for pur-
poses of irrigation.
The success of the project means
the addition of fully 300 new fami-
lies to the Tucson country, accord
to the best estimates of those who
are conversant with conditions and
the plans of the promoters of the
scheme. According to those plans,
the tracts will be cut up into twenty,
forty and sixty acre farms and will
be sold on suitable terms to the col
onists. Just what these terms will
be, and, in fact, just what prices
will be charged for the lands, can
not be learned, as the scheme is as
yet only in its incipiency, the pro-
moters now holding only options on
the big ranches.
1t is regarded, however, that
transfers will eventually be made,
and it is expected that they will
be made shortly. If successful in
colonizing the lands, the scheme
means an addition of some 1000
persons to the Tucson country.
These, in turn, it is pointed out,
will bring many others to the coun-
try, and the enterprise gives promise
of being one of the most important
that has ever been undertaken in
way of developing the country from
an agricultural stannpoint,
While it is understood that none
will be barred from acquiring land
under the conditions laid down by
the promoters, it is said that the
Mormons are most largely interest.
ed in the project. They are rec
ognized throughout the country as
the most successful agriculturalists
in America. Because of this fact
those who are in touch with the sit.
uation make the prediction that the
Santa Cruz valley adjoining Tucson
will soon be transformed into 9
veritable garden spot, The Nor.
mons have already established q
colony here, having recently &C,
quired possession of the Davidson
:. ranch. The sum of $4,000 was
paid for that property, and 4 large
pumnef of families have already
! settled there. Plans are going for
ward for extensive cultivation Of
that tract during the next season.
and it is said that many other fam
lilies will take up their aLode on tho
ranch during the next few months

HAS PLAN To STOP
FUTURE SQUAbbLEs

TO FORM COMMISSION

A measure to prevent for all time

gineer and the Light and Water De-
partments has been drawn up by
Councilman c. f. Richards, of Mar
shall Ward, and will be presented to
Council at the next meeting of that
body.
The measure provides for the APP
pointment of a commission OF four or
five members, who shall attend to all
matters now under the supervision of
the Committees on Streets and Lights.
This commission In to have control of
lump sum appropriated for use of
the three departments concerned. This
sum Is, instead of being divided into
separate amounts for each separate
department, will be appropriated in
bulk.
Once each month the commission
will meet. The City Engineer and the
superintendent of the Light and Wa
ter Departments will be invited to at
tend these meetings, and tell what
! improvements. il any. they desire 10
make on any thoroughfare, giving al
the same time any estimate of what
the work will cost.
| The plans win then be considered
by the commission, and II deemed
feasible and worthy the amounts re.
quested will be granted
City Engineer Boiling has expressed
himself as favorable to the plan, and
! 1t Is said that concurrence will also
! be given by superintendent Knowles
/ and Davis.
| How the matter will be received by
| Council is problematical. but Mr.
Richards declares his intention OF
working hard for it's adoption.

MAY SLAUGHTER
|. IN NEWPORT NEWS
State Sanitary Board Grants Con
cession in the Matter of
Killing Calves.

Although cattle shipping is under
the ban in Newport News and the sur
rounding counties, because of the pes
tiferous presence of the marguropus
annulatus, cattle tick. veal calves may
be slaughtered on the docks of the
city.
This concession to the good people
Of Newport News, who have been Ill
Illuminating the atmosphere with the
objurgations over the high price OF
meat, was granted by the State Board
OF Sanitary Live Stock Sanitation,
which met at Murphy's Hotel Wednes-
day.
only three members, j. c. CARING
ton, C. G. Kizer and DR.. Paul b.
Barringer, were present at the meet
ing, the other two members, p +. st.
Clair and Harry NJ Smith, being UNI
able to attend.
State Veterinarian Ferneyhough
appeared before the board, which Is
composed of the executive committee
of the board of visitors OF the Viz
ginia Polytechnic Institute, and re-
ported that he had visited Newport
News and discussed the quarantine Sit
uation with business men and believed
that IL the latter co-operated with
him there would be 10 risk run in
allowing the slaughter of veal calves
on the wharves.
The quarantine against the counties
surrounding Newport News. including
Warwick and York counties. prohib-
tied the shipment of any cattle into
the city for fear some of the animals
might be victims of the pesky insect
which innocuiates bovines with fever
and poison.
DIR. Ferneyhough said there was lit
tie or no proba bility of the little calves
being vlctimized by the ticks, because
they were not able to furnish meals of
sufficient size for the insects and con-
sequently the latter preferred to stick
to the tried and true cows and steers.
BY slaughtering the calves immediate
ly after their arrival at the wharves,
DIR. Ferneyhough said, there would be
little or no chance of the ticks getting
into Newport News.
After hearing DIR. Ferneyhough's re-
port the Board decided to grant the
necessary permission for the slaughter
OF the calves.
The Board accepted the resignation
of State .Entomologist ]. l.. Philips.
The latter's successor win be announce
ed later. Several applications have
been received and will be carefully
considered before the appointment is
made.
Dairy Food Commissioner Saunders
appeared before the Board and report
ed that the new law providing for tu-
berculin tests for cattle hads worked
most successfully and achieved great
results. He reported that almost 150
cattle otH of 440 tested had reacted
to the test, showing that they had
tuberculosis. and were condemned.
Commissioner Saunders recommended
that the owners of these cows be paid
a fair and reasonable price For the
animals condemned.

BERLIN, June 2s.-Count Zeppe-
lin, buiiaer OF the liner Deutschland,
which was wrecked yesterday, though
heart broken over the unfortunate
ending of the third cruise of the Dig
dirigible, is still undaunted, and de-
ciared to-day that he would begin at
once the construction of an airship OF
half the size of the Deutsc h land. but
which would be capable of carrying
fsrty persons
General Manager Coiesmann, of the
airship company that is backing zep-
pelin, said to-day that the most
striking feature of yesterdays trip
was not the accident that disabled the
ship, but the fact that she was able
to weather the storm for ten hours
no airship of any other type would
have dared to ascend In such a vino
as we went up in. and certainly nc
other airship could have gone through
such a hurricane.
THE problem of navigating the all
in the worst possible weather has
been solved, but the problem OF
alighting in rough weather remains
to be solved. Our faith is still un.
shaken and We viii go ahead with
our plan for aerial passenger lines.

members OF the Deutschland's crew
named Hohenstein, who was tending
the motor in the aft car, became
panic when the balloon made
its Anal plunge toward the tree tops

was still so feet above the forest
Hohenstein fell into a tree and suffer

not discovered until three hours
later, when the attention of specta

The remains of the Deutschland
were packed up to-day preparatory t.
being shipped to Friedrickshafen
The Deutschland cost $500, 600, ant
the salvage viii amount to about
