Another Unfortunate
 for the Asylum

Another unfortunate case was before Probate Judge Goodbody today, when a woman named Bridget Kelly was ordered committed to the ssyium. During the examination by the lunscy commission it developed that Mrs. Kelly was subject to previous sttacks, having been committed to the asylum on two previous occasions. She is subject to violent sttacks, when she is seized with an uncomfortable desire to throw rocks at her friends and other wise act peculiarly. When these ai- legations were made, the unfortunate woman grew excited in positive denial of the charges. The case is
 pathetic one, as the patient is th
 mother of two children, who gre a
 present cared for in the convent. Sh
 will be taken to Phoenix by th , officers tomorrow.

Census Enumerating

 The job is an easy one. All that
 the enumerator has to do is to rap at
 each door and hogan in his district
 and when the lady of the house comes
 to the door with soap studs Oh her
 hands is to ask:
 Are you msrried?"
 "What did you do it ior?" "Didn't you know any betterf" Do you get enough to eat and do
 you eat mest?" , "DOes your husband beat you; if } not, why not?" "What church do you belong to : and why don't you chsnge!" e "Do you look this way all the time J or are you iust provoked about some
 thing today" a "Do you use coal or do you just ge n warmed up when your husband come a home hot about something?" 0 Do you believe in the existence of O supreme political power and shoul' n women vote or cook?" e, "Who in your opinion discovere y the north pole, or does your icems 1t demand cssh?".

The only real reason to be assigned for the juggling with Arizona's election laws as appears in the senate state- hood bill. is to prove the opportunity to corrupt the first statehood elections. and as the republicans are doing the juggling, it is easy to figure out who is going to co the corrupting.

Test to Be Made
 of School Tax Law

Will the territorial statutes, which make it the duty of every employer to pay to the assessor the annual school tax for his employees apd deduct the same from their wages, hold water when it is tested in the ,, courts? Such is the question which bids lair to be settled m Gila county within 2 short time. There have been numer. ous complaints against this statute from business houses in Globe, and the head of one concern has flstly
 refused to pay the school tax of his employees.
 CvuIty Assessor Merritt, after msk- ing several attempts to collect the | school tax from the employees of the man in question. passed the matter up e to the Gila county district attorneys
 office and suit will probably be
 brought to decide the question. It is
 claimed that the employer will fight
 his side of the legal bottle for the pur.
 pose of testing the law, and, as the V result. the validity of the statute ma, be determined.
 It is generally held that the Ari'on' 70 law makers stretched 8 point wher Id they adopted this statute. but it is { le recognized fact that a tax law. m V. matter how weak, is usually hard t m break down, and if the matter is 'aker d up by the courts, which is probable ,g it is more than likely that the validit. ,'s of the law will not be settled withou e. lengthy lega! battle.
 Another matter which will arous
 the ire of the taxpayers is the fact ths
 they will more than likely be con
 peiled to pay road tax to both tt
 county and city this year.
 Il Before the adoption of the recen '' road d:str ct law, which abolished a va former road districts and made b, or. one road district of each county, th m old system of road taxes, by whic Ire each road supervisor in the cnuntI on districts collected the taxes of tn ,,e district, was abolished and in u Ia new road law it was specified that evel
 male resident of the county shou nat pay road tax in the same manner thi  at school tax is paid.
 av. No provision is made for the exem to tion of the residents of incorporate
 towns and ss 6 result the male res nm dents of the city within the requir' sl2 age limits are apparently due tor of double dose of taxes this year.-Glo m. Silver Belt.

Convention Will be
 Held in Los Angeles

Through the efforts of the Sierra
 Msdre Club, the tirst social mining club in the United States. the 1910 convention of the American Mining
 Congress will be held in Los Ange' es,
 beginning September 26 and continu. ing through the week ending October
 1. The club has already guaranteed the sum of $l0, 900, half of which is t.
 be applied to the furtherance of the Legislative program in Washington, and will now endesvor to increase the entire fund to $25.O0 The super. vision of the convention will bs in the hands of an Advisory Board, includ- ing the representation from all public b Idies in Los Angeles and every im- portant mining and oil town in Southern California, Arizona and Nevada, while the details will be in charge of an Executive Committee of three, with Sidney Norman acting ss managing director.

 Every effort viii he made to insure the greatest convention in the history of the Congress and with that idea in view excursions will be organized in districts after the busi- ness of the convention has been com pleted. Details are not yet arranged, but it is certain that @ large excursion xill be taken to the oil fields of the San Joaquin Valley and to certain ,opper centers in Arizona. This will give delegates from all over the United | States an opportunity of judging in . personal way of the immense mineral I 'esources to be found in the South. western states.

NEWFIELD CHURCH WILL RISE AGAIN
 FROM ITS ASHES
Trustees and Pastor Will Meet Tonis Int to Meet the Emer-
 gency and Plan For the Future

Undaunted by yesterdays disas- trous fire which wiped out the great CT part of an investment representing years of labor. the trustees of the Newfield Methodist church and the pastor, the Rev. G. Whitefeld Simon son. will meet tonight to provide foI the present emergency and make plans for the future.
 A meeting place for the congrega. tion will be rented, and steps will be taken for the rebuilding of a new church which perhaps will be even handsomer than the old one
 The Newfield M. E. Church stands at the corner of Stratford and Cen. tral avenues. The edifice was com pletely gutted by flames last night as related on another page of The Farmer. The outside walls, which are of concrete block, are standing and may be entirely unaffected by the flames. They will be subjected tc tests. and if available for use again will greatly expedite the reconstruc. tion of the edifice.
 While the loss of the church falls heavily upon the congregation, prac. tically the entire membership of the church has received with enthusiasm the project of making the disaster but an impetus to a greater church and turning the misfortune to real advan- tage.

C. 6. TYLER IS
 EXECUTIVE OF
 TWO FACTORIES
Industrial Expert Heads Both the Union Metallic Cartridge and Remington Arms Company.

Charles c. Tyler. an expert in in- dustrfal management. came to Bridge port this morning and assumed the position of general manager of works of the Union Metallic Cartridge Com pany of this city, and the Remington Arms Company of Ilion. N. Y.
 MT. Tyler's appointment marks the creation of this office. which carries with 1t the executive responsibility of the manufacturing end of two great the man at the helm in two huge fac tories. and his position is peculiarly difficult from the fact that the con- cerns are in separate cities a good many miles apart, and it will be nec- essary for him to split up his time considerably. although probably the greater portion of it will be spent in Bridgeport.
 Harry H. Pinney, who has been man. ager and superintendent of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company for sev- eral years. and whose regime has been marked by an era of great expansion and improvement. will remain with the company for some months. and then will take an important executive posi- tion in Western manufactory.
 MT. T-ier's appointment. and the creation of the new office combining III one man the cQleI exoCuClF0 QulltS of the Remington Arms Company and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company. brings those concerns still more close ly together. although they have long been under the same ownership. Whether or not the Remington Arms Company will be moved to Bridgeport is a matter of speculation. but the officials of neither concern discuss that question and here is no. likelihood or such a combination in the near fu- ture.
 The newly appointed general man aeer of works is an old friend of Supt. Pinney, both belonging to the same school of progressive. industrial ex- perts, which type is to be found only in America and is product of Amer ica's vast industrial sys,em.
 MT. Tyler's home is in a suburb of Ilion. His new duties may make it expedient for him to make Bridgeport his home in the future. but this point he has not yet decided. preferring to let the future settle the question.

TEACHERS TO ASK
 FOR RAISE OF PAY
Will Appear Before Board of Education and Present Demands This Evening

When the members of the Board of Education get down to business tonight at their regular monthly meeting they will have presented to them a lengthy communication from the grade teachers of the city asking for a substantial increase in salary. The communication will come signed by most every school teacher in the city and VIII be presented by a com- mittee made up of a delegate from each school.
 What the requests of the teachers will be the latter refuse to divulge, They held their last meeting on Fri day ana made out the communication but refuse to divulge it's contents. They deem 1t but courtesy to the members of the board, that the lat ter be the first informed. It is be- lieved that the members of the board will not act on the communication this evening setting date for a spe- cial meeting when the teachers grievances can be better aired
 It is expected that the teachers will ask for a maximum salary of s900 and that the minimum salary, that on which the young teachers start shall be s55O The maximum salary of $500 shall be the same for every grade. quite different from the sys- lem now in vogue by which there are seven maximums. The teachers will not ask they be put on the max imum with the next year, but it is certain that they will ask that the increase over their present pay will be S100.
