DON'T WANT BEULAH.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-New York women are up in arms against the proposal to bring BeuIah Binford to New York to appear upon the stage of local theater. and the better class of stage people are also lined up against what they term a desecration of their art. The Virginia girl. alleged mistress of Henry Clay Beattie. Jr.. has been quite willing to coin her mo- toriety into dollars. but public indig- nation will probably cause the plan to be abandoned
 To be involved in scandal and crime should not be the open door to the stage. declare prominent actors and ac- tresses who have been interviewed on the subject. When Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad. the shooting show girls made their vaudeville appear .ance and attempted to sing crude songs. the morbid public interest soon died out. Yet they had a little-a very little-theatrical training and some small ability. while it is not alleged that the Binford girl has any talent whatever There ought to be a linn it to the theatrical panderinG n de- prayed tastes. and the Binford girl ought to be that limit As one prom inent actress puts it: After the Bin ford girl. for Gods sake. who?"

 The deceased senator had been under the care of physicians for some months. The doctors had treated him tor con gestion of the lungs which lately had undermined his health. It is stated that recently his lungs had continually filled with cIotted blood, this condition being a featurs of the latter days of his illness, though is was not until a week ago that his illness became acute. his illness, though it was not until a Wednesday an expert from Baltimore was summoned and this practitioner to- gether with other physicians expressed confidence in the ultimate recovery of their distinguished patione. The past few days, however, it became appar- ent that the case was beyond the reach of medical skill and for a day or two the efforts of the doctors were direct ed largely to making their patient as comfortable as possible.
 Death resulted at three o'clock this

Chief of Staff of the United States Army Thinks He Can't Include Phoenix on His Comi ng Western Trip.
LETTER RECEIVED
 BY McCLINTOCK
Communication Sounds Un- favorable But it is Hoped Both Wood and Stimson May Stop Here For Short Time.

The indications now are that Phoe- nix is not only going to lose the expected visit of w L. Fisher secre- tary of the interior, but that the hoped for visit of Secretary of War Henry l.. .Stimson and General Leon ard Wood will also fail to material ize, although the two last named of ficials will be in Prescott the latter comes in a letter received yesterday by Col J. II. McClintock from Gen eraI Wood
 When it became known some time ago that Major General Leonard Wood chief of staff of the United States army, and Henry l.. Stimson. secretary of war. would visit Fort Whpple late in September. a move ment was undertaken at once to try to induce them to visit this valley. Col. J. H. McCIintock. as president of the Phoenix board of trade was the logical man to extend the invitation. not only by virtue of that office but because of his acquaintance with General Wood. who was the colonel of his regiment during the Spanish American War. He extended a formal invitation in the name of the board of trade and personally urged its ac ceptance. Following is the letter re- ceived yesterday. in reply:
 Washington. D. c. Sept 13. 1911. My Dear Colonel McClintock:
 Your letter of September 7th just received. and I appreciate. as I am sure would the secretary if he were here, your most kind and cordial in vitation As a matter of fact. we are going to make a nasty trip. The secretary is anxious to see the re- maining posts in the southwest Apache, Whipple Barracks and Hua- chuca-and to consider the question of the enlargement of Fort Huachuca. We are then going to Fl Paso. San Antonio and other places in that vi- cinity. Our trip is going to be such a nasty one that it will not be pos sible to accept any hospitality, all though. did the time at our disposal warrant it. he would. I am sure. be delighted to do SO Please express to the board of trade the secretary's and my sincere thanks for the cor dial invitation. and our united regrets that We are unable to accept.
 every sincerely yours.

MARES NEST IS BUSTED
 BY STORY OF OFFICIAL

This is the way the Mesa Free Press disposes of a humorous story recently published in a Phoenix af- ternoon paper. to the effect that the Southern Pacific is about to begin construction work on the Box Canyon line:
 Grant Bros. Construction company have a big force here ready to com mence work at once upon the con- structiOn of the power canal six miles northeast of Phoenix. The presence of large number of the Grant force. and some of the officers and bosses gave ise to a report that work was to be begun at once on the Box Can yOn gap for the Southern Pacific.
 "There is absolutely nothing in the report" said one of the Grant Offic- ials Nothing will be done there until the secretary of the interior makes his report. I understand it will soon be forthcoming. in all prob ability before November 1. I know the line will he built. but we are not here for that purpose now"
 The canal force will consist of about 200 men. who will for the most part. make their headquarters here. Phoenix will be the trade quarters for the big gang.

DIVORCE SUIT COMES IN
 TRAIN OF ON ElOPEMENT

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. IA sequel to a hurry-up romance and elopement. involving two multi-mil- lionaire families. will be told during the September term of the Newcastle county superior court, which begins next week John Bancroft. Jr., has fil- ed a suit for divorce against his wife. Madeline du Pont Bancroft, on statu- ary grounds.
 The husband. who is twenty-siX years of age. is the only son of John Bancroft. a millionaire textile manu- facturer The wife. who is twenty three, is the eldest daughter of Alfred | du Pont. vice president of the DOW der trust" In his suit Bancroft names as co-defendant with his wife Max Hiebler. Jr., an infant the paternity of which Bancroft denies. The case hinges on whether the Eaby is or is not the son of Bancroft.
 The hearing of the suit, under the Delaware law. will be public and promises many sensations. The court in deciding the case will pass upon the paternity of the child.
 The divorce suit is a sequal to the elopement in December, 1907, of the now estranged couple. They were mar ried in Washington. The bridegroom was then a student at Princeton. He and his wife went to Germany and young Bancroft completed his studies at Heidelberg University. They re- mained abroad two years and since then Bancroft has been associated in business with his father.
 The young bride is estranged from her mother. Bessie Gardner du Pont. from whom her father secured a di- Vorce.
 The allegations in the suit are that while Mrs. Bancroft was in Europe she had improper relations with one Max Hiebler, the result of which. 1t is alleged was the birth of the child named in the suit as Max Hiebler, Jr. The couple have another child. a boy. named after the father and born abroad.

 It is believed that the missing man met his death by the fire and that his body lies somewhere in the ruins which mark the path of the conflagration. The fire is by all odds the worst the town has ever experienced.
 One of the guests at the burned hO- tel was Aviator Robert Fowler, whose machine was wrecked near this place shortly after he had started on his at tempted transcOntinentaI flight. Fow- Ter escaped uninjured from the hotel.
 The fire was finally conquered by the volunteer department assisted by the Southern Pacific fire train. Fow- Ter was one of the hardest workers at the scene and his efforts aided ma terially in checking the progress of the flames,
 The dead man is John Wesley Dug ger. guest of the hotel and the only one whom Henry Hurst, the hero of the fire, failed to arouse.
 Hurst discovered the fire and ut terly regardless of his own danger. he ran to the second and third floors e the building. arousing the occupants of each room. In a number of instanc- es he broke open the doors and drag ged the sleepers from their beds When Hurst had completed the round it was discovered that the stair way was envelOped in flames The daring man ran to a front window and jumped to the sidewalk. % feet be- low.

HARRY MILAN FOR
 CELEBRATION RACES
RUN SWIFTLY FOR A LOT AND
 GET IT.
John E. Lewis Tells What Cross
 Country Running Will Do Fer Boy.

Not the least interesting of the fea- lures of the celebration at Eastlake park, this week, will be the games
 Among those who will enter for the contests will be Harry Mclean the famous Indian runner of Phoenix land one of the greatest five-mile run ners in the world, who will enter the tfive-m mile race; John COlman, who will enter the l00-yard race, and who Is matched against Ed Luke in race for $250 to be run within six weeks; Chas. Swiggett for the Emile race; Luke Antonio, the fast Indian school runner: and many others.
 The meet will be of interest to all local boys. partly because one of the prizes given will be a lot, donated by J. C. Reed, the real estate dealer which will be the first prize in either the smile or the Emile race, as may be later determined.
 With years of experience" says John F. Lewis. the athletic trainer lyesterday. 'I have found no exercises SO good as walking and running. They should be taken up by everyone, of both sexes. It is the hope that these races will serve to create a renewal land increase of interest in them. Al school or at the Y. NJ. c. A, take a class of boys and give them proper
 obstruction in cross-country running and it is surprising how soon they will develop into good strong youths
 It will add years to the life of each
 if he follows the training and instruc-
 ticn. It will do more for the temper ance cause and to do away with cig- arettes than anything else that know | of"
