The death of John Warne Gates in
Paris removes in his prime one of the
boldest and most successful American
f1nanciers and a picturesque figure in
the field of sports. Since 1880, when
he organized the Southern Wire COM

whom II was necessary to reckon in
the particular industrial affairs to
which he had given his attention.
In recent years he found relaxation
from business cares in becoming a
prominent patron of the American turf.
Mr. Gates began his business career
as proprietor Of a hardware store at
Turner Junction, ILL.,, near the farm
where he ives born in 1855. His pa
rents were Asel A. and Mary Gates. At
st. Charles, H., in 1874, he married
Dellora r. Baker, who with their son,
Charles G. Gates, survives. The fam
lily had maintained home in New
York City for some years.

PROTECT THE GEEK.
Hunters Will Be Permitted TO Kill Bu
One Animal

ONC Animal
Deadwood-Deer hunters In the
Black Hills this year are not going tc
be so plentiful as heretofore, and the
fleet-footed animal which had many
friends in the last legislature will be
afforded considerable protection this
fall Heretofore it has been the law
that hunters could bag two deer, either
buck or doe, each year. for the small
sum of ST. provided they lived in the
state, and whenever there was a snow.
fall in November the slaughter was
heavy. Now the hunter must take out
two licenses, a 81 gun license and IS
deer license, and is permitted to kill
but one deer a buck, each season. Non
residents must pay SIS for the gun H.
cense and S25 for the deer license. the
deer season is from November 1 tc
December /, and it is thought that the
new law will greatly reduce the mum.
ber of hunters and consequently the
number of deer killed.

Washington, ID. C.-The bill grant
ing statehood to New Mexico and Ari-

many years the dream of the people
of those territories, was passed by the
senate Tuesday night, SO to 1S, after
rejection of the Nelson amendment
which proposed striking out of the
Arizona constitution its judiciary re-
call provision.
The bill as passed by the senate diff
fers only slightly from the house
measure, and. 1t is said, may be unsat-
isfactory to President Taft. He has
contended all along that he would be
glad to sign the statehood bill If the
Nelson amendment prevailed, but that
it was q grave question whether he
would be willing to sign it If the
amendment were defeated, as it was,

A MERGER

With this weeks issue of the Ari- zona Sentinel, qhe present editor and propritor, J. W. Darlington, retires from the newspaper field, and the Sen- tinel will be merged with the Daily Examiner and continued as a weekly paper and as the Arizona Sentinel, un- der which name it has been published for forty-one years without missing an issue, and it is the oldest newspaper in Arizona.
 In politics the Sentinel will continue as in the pasta stauneh Republican, newspaper-and in all other matters will be unbiased and independent, as in the past.
 W. Harold Shorey, president of the Examiner, will then take charge of the Sentinel as editor and manager and with the excellent equipment of the Examiner the Sentinel will be one oi the best weekly newspapers in the Southwest.

KENT DECIDES 1T
Says That Special Road Districts
 Have Legal Existence

Special road districts have a legal existence in Arizona, ac.
 cording to a decision handed
 down this morning by Judge Kent. Judge Kent directly re-
 verses 8 decision handed down
 by Justice Campbell in Yuma.
 The case was that of the Glen dale Land Company against D.
 c. Babbitt, Treasurer of Mari copa county. The Glendale con- pany held a bill for $10, for work done, approved by the trustees of Road District No. 3. Treas urer Babbitt, knowing of Judge Campbell's decision that the law of the last Legislature creating the office of County Road Super intendent wiped out the special road district, refused payment. At his suggestion a test case was filed. The Glendale Land Company applied for @ writ of peremptory mandamus forcing Babbitt to pay that $1O bill. Ii was the contention of the attor- ney for the company that it was not the intention of the Legisla- ture to give the County Road Superintendent control over spe. cial districts, but only that he should assume the duties hither. to devolving upon the road over seers, who were thereby wiped out of existence. This conten. tion was upheld by Judge Kent. While the amount of money in.
