ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

It was most satisfactory to Arneri- cans that one of them should sur vive for the finals in the national championship. But most of those who saw the playing at Philadelphia were inclined to think that the six Englishwomen entered could give them many points as to good form in golfng. The game is, of course, 8 much older one in England than in the United States, and many of the women playing the contest were among the very first to take up the game in the United States.

CENSUS OFFICIALS
 OUTLINES PLAN
Asks for Applications From Those Compitent and
 Willing to
 Work.

In q recent interview by the Arizona Republican with Frank lin F. Towle, of Globe, Supervisor of census for Arizona, Mir. Towle said:
 "I wish to urge those who feel competent to perform the task, and who are actuated to a large extent by public spirit and a de sire to have the census of Arizona as full and correct as it is spossible to make it, to forward at once their applications to me-" Only those who will devote eight hours a day to the work for thirty days, are wanted.
 The work begins April 15, and will be completed iii a month.
 As the task of gathering the data will be somewhat more diff cult i'll Arizona than in eastern states, and on account of the higher price of labor, Mir. Towle will ask the authorities for the maximum rate of $6 a day for his enumerators. This rate will apply to country districts where the enumerators will work by the day. In nthelarger cities three cents a head will be the prevail ing rate, the aggregate not to ex- ceed the $6 rate.
 Those who wish to comply with the request of Mir. Towle should address an informal letter to him at Globe, and he will send the applicant the usual blank form to be flied out. Some of them, in such countys as Navajo, Apache, Coconino and Mojave. will have to travel by pack horse into remote districts and take the census in that manner. They will be expected to finnish their own means of conveyance as the per diem rateis supposed to cover expenses.
 The 191Ocensus of Arizona will be much larger and more com- plete than any previous census. It will embrace population, agri- culture and live stock statistics. In addition there will be a special census of mines and quarries which will be taken by emissaries from Washington, as those branches are not under the direc- tion of the special district super visor.
 There will be some new statis- tics on live stock that never were collected before. Ill the past 1t has been the custom to collect fig ures only on range and farm stock, but the new orders arc to get all stock. The householder ; in the cities and towns will be
 asked if they have horses, COWS
 chickens, and etc. They will ever
 be asked the number of eggs the hens laid during the year.

tering of it's inmates to all parts parts of the city, wherever it might be thought possible to escape the notice ofthe guardians of the peace. Either of these courses would create a condition more offensive and troublesome than could possibly result from a continuance oftheir present quar- ters. It is argued that if they are now encroaching beyond their original confines, or consti- tute a nuisance or disturbing element to respectable people bordering that locality, there is sufficient police authority to remedy such conditions. Fur thermore, it is pointed out that in every city that has grappled with the social evil, experience has demonstrated that segrega- ton and regulation provide the only practical solution of the problem.
 The opinion prevails that the action of the council was nasty and ill-advised and that a res cinding resolution will be adopted before the measure would have become operative.

NEGRO CHARGED
 WITH BURGLARY
Longing for Coin and Glad Clothes Cause Downfall
 of Fastidious Porter.

WlnSlOw, Arizona, Jan. 20.-'
 When Ed. Washington Wiggins, the ebony tinted youth presiding as knight of the brushes at Wat sons barber shop quit work Wed nesday night, he must have devel- oped a rebellious spirit against social conditions that deprived him of a fair share of worldly possessions. At any rate there is sufficient evidence of a deter mination made at that time to enhance his appearance by appro- priating some attractive raiment that was not working and incl dentally replenish depleted poe ket book. With a key to the shop at which he was empoyed the matter of executing his inten- tions was made easy. At one o'clock A. M. a passerby observed him engaged in shaving. Having due regard tor cleanliness 1t IS presumed he indulged in a bath as proper prerequisite to don- ming some of the immaculate linen that the laundry packages contained in abundance. A new and fashionable suit of clothes belonging to one of the barbers was too much tor the son of Ham to withstand, and shedding his own well worn togs for the gayer apparel he drew s. 40 from the till without leaving a debit slip and strutted forth in all his glory. His next effort to make further addition to his 'exchequer was more strenuous He entered a house in the red light district, by kicking himself through the win dow 1t is believed since most of the sash as well as the glass was carried i'll with him, $23. i'll gold coin of the realm was the pro- ceeds of his clean up there, John Washington having no scruples about tainted money.
 
 By this time he had acquired an irresistible thirst and his next appearance was in Senor Baca's Monte Carlo emporium where he did heroic execution in in fighting Sunny Brook, Old Taylor and other brands of courage juice.
 For the time elapsing between f A. M and s P. M. there IS no record of his movements, dispite the actively of the sheriff, marsh all and constable in trying to get the hooks on him. Anticipat. ing a possible desire on the part ot E. Wash. Wiggins to leave town informally, Marshall Bled soc, with true Sherlock instinct repaired to the Santa Fe sanC house in the east yard for tht fourth time that day and wa: rewarded by finding the dusky sulprit complacently waiting tc make a getaway under cover O darkness.
 When searched, $2O.3O and al array of cutlery was disclosed three of Mir Watson's pet blade being among the lot.
 When Judge W aite fixes a tim F limit for his sojourn at the ex f pense thecounty, Sheriff Wood will escort him to Holbrook ant sew a number on him.

COUNCIL HOLDS
 IMPORTAN'TS SESSION
Sewer Bonds Made to Ma. ture in Thirty Years. Red Light District Must
 Close.

NIlSlOW, AilZOilot, Jdl' EO.-
 At a meeting of the common council held Monday evening, which was attended by all mem- bers except aldermen Bauerback and Ward who were confined to their homes by sickness, two important actions were taken.
 The first was the passage of a final resolution fixing the matur- ity of the sewer bonds and pro- viding for a reserve fund for the payment of same. AS previously announced the bonds will be of the negotiable coupon kiud bear ing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum payable semi annually in February and Aug ust of each year. Said bonds aggregating $4O,OOO. shall be designated "Sanatary Sewer Bonds of 191O;" shall be forty in number and ofthe denominations of $1 ,OOO. each; shall bear date of Feb. 1st 91O and shall become due and payable, maturing thirty years from the date thereof.
 The interest for 1910 shall be paid out of the general fund tax levied in 1909. For the purpose of reimbursing said general fund for the amount so taken from 1t and to provide sufficient funds to meet the interest falling due on said bonds subsequent to 1910 and maintain a sinking fund for the discharge of the principal ot sa;d bonds at their maturity, the following tax levy shall be made::-
 For the year 1910, a tax suffi- cient to produce the sum ot $4933.34. being $36OO. for inter est and $1333.34 for principal.
 For each of the years 1911 to 1888, both inclusive, a tax suffi- cient to produce the sum oi $3733 34, being $24OO. interest and $1333.34 for principal.
 For the year 1889 tax suffi' cient to produce the sum O. $2533.34, being $12Oo. for ill terest and $13333.34 for princi pal.
 The bonds are now i'll course of preparation and will probably be here within a few weeks.
 The other important actior taken by the council was th' repeating of a provision in a for mer ordinance prescribing thu limits within which houses O ill-fame are confined. This mean that unless the alderman see fl to rescind their latest action be fore Feb. 1st the denizens of tn red light district will be forced t, migrate from Winslow. As result of this drastic and uneS
 pected action by the city solons consternation reigns i'll the ter
 derloin district. Some of it's res
 dents are said to have alread
 left the city; others are preparin
 for a general exodus but sti hoping a further respite will |
 granted before the councils al
 tion becomes operative.
 e As no general complaints ar Il understood to have been mad
 by people living in or contiguou
 to the district effected and as Il
 recent discussion of the subjee
 has occurred Ill the council, tf
 step taken by the alderman Ina occasioned considerable supris , and comment.
 A number of citizens interview ed on the matter do not hesitat p to express their disapprovel off , action which in their judgemcr i !, is impossible in itspurpose. I'll I order is expected to result ill tf f establishment of a red light di c trict just outside the city limit e and beyond the jurisdiction { the city police. or a general sc;,

JEfFR|ES ANXIOUS ID GO ON WITH
 HIS WORK
Spends But One Day in Oak land-Could Be Ready
 in Four Weeks

OAKLAND, Cal, May 3.-Brown and ruddy from outdoor work, Jim Jeffries came up from training quarters at Ben Lomond late today to escort his wife back to camp.
 In spite of his trainers advice to lay off day or so and take things easy, Jeffries plans to return to camp tomor- row, taking an early train, declaring that he does not wish to break his training more than day.
 He had put in a busy morning at Ben Lomond, and at the railroad station Berger said:
 Don't hurry back. A couple days of rest will be wlse'
 Il couldn't be idle more than day." returned Jettnes. Its no longer any effort for me to work. know l Tn soon going to be in bully shape. 1 wish the fight was the fourth of next month instead of the Fourth of July; know l could be at my best in another four weeks"
 The dash that characterized Jeffries' work yesterday was apparent again in the forenoon work today. Bob Arm strong came in for another sound drub- ping when he spared him four rounds. The stiffness and soreness in the right shoulder which has been bothering lief fries seems to have disappeared, for he used his right with good effect all through the boxing.

Thirty Jurors of Venire of Fifty Answer Summons to
 Appear in Court
SECOND PANEL MAY
 BE CALLED TODAY
Grand Jury Near Finish of Routine Work and Ready
 to Consider Special

The Gila county trial jury will be sworn in this morning, to try the var ious criminal cases which will come be- fore the present term of court, as well as to hear a number of important civil actions, in which jury trials have been demanded.
 It is probable that the greater part of the forenoon will be taken up with the work of swearing in the trial jury, hearing applications from jurors who desire to be excused and attending to various other matters in connection with this feature of the court term. As the result, it is probable that no cases will be taken up for trial until this af- ternoon. It is more than likely that some of the defendants who have been indicted by the grand jury will be tried at once, as the criminal cases are to be disposed of first.
 The following trial jurors have been subpoenaed to appear in court this morning:
 A. R. Estes, J. R. Brunson, K. Clay ton, James Agnew, J. T. Corn, E. G. Alb erthal, H. E. Grant, Charles Holdren H. V. Shell, l.. T. Dale, w. E. Board man, B. F. Gibson, l.. Hunsaker, w. J l Cox, A. J. Franklin, Albert Bray, Lew B. Gibbs, T. P. Vincent, Sam Seelig P. w. Gallentine, D. Goodfellow, H M. Fugate, George Rose, s. B. Edwards H. M. Ekerson, J. M. Sears, A. T. Ham mons, c. H. Elkins, Elmer White, Day ton Ennis, P. J. Cole, Jr. and Steve Till man.
 As only thirty-two of the fifty trial jurors who were drawn were located by the county officers, it will probably be necessary for the court to order a special venire of twenty or more jur- ors this morning, in order that there may be . sufficient number of jurors on hand to try the cases which will come before the present term of court According to District Attorney Wal ter Shute, the grand jury has already completed good part of the work assigned to it by the various justice courts of Gila county and it is expect ed that the regular routine work will be completed by noon today.
 It is understood that the investiga- tion of the shooting of Jack Lane by Supervisor w. c. Colcord will be taken up immediately after the routine work is completed.
 The proposed investigation of al. leged violations of the gambling laws and the occupation of the red light district will probably follow the Col, cord investigation.

STOCKS FALL FLAT AFTER EARLY
 RALLY
Depression in Coppers and Legislative Scares Re
 duce Values

NEW YORK, May 3.-Stocks re- bounded today from the depression which has been forcing them to a lower price level, but the relief proved only temporary, a break in coppers causing acute weakness again. Apparently the principal relieving factor was the money market, where call loans opened at Az per cent, compared with the per cent opening rate of yesterday morning
 Another incident was the surprise felt over the small effect of large pay ments made yesterday for cotton ac- cepted by purchasers. This requirement of nearly $l2,0O0,000 must have been financed mainly elsewhere than in New York, presumably in Chicago and New Orleans, and, in the latter case, ulti' mately in Paris. Today 235,000 bales of cotton are in the warehouses of New York, compared with only s700O bales at this time last year.
 Some pains were taken to spread the impression that important inside inter ests of great corporations had set about re-buying stocks sold at higher level This was done by the insinuatiOn that large amounts of stocks which had been returned to lenders represented the pro cess of the stocks having been bor rowed for delivery to cancel the origin of the selling at the higher levels.
 Compromises proposed in the railroad legislation now before congress were regarded, in the first view, as possible presage of the defeat of the whole pro gram of the amendment of interstate laws. The revised estimate of the pro ceedings seemed to accept them as s strengthening of the radical rorce' working against corporations.
 The public reception accorded pro posed advances of railroad rates wa: not relished in the stock market. Fear: were engendered that the movement would arouse agitation that might em barrass the intended method of the rail roads for reimbursement of the in crease in the cost of operation that they are complaining of.
