Rapid Decrease in Pensioners.

If the advocates of peace, who should
be all well-meaning American citizens,
have their way, there will be no more
wars between civilized nations, conse-
quently the enormous pensions that the
United States pays annually will gradu-
ally decrease, and in few years our
people will be relieved of that great
financial burden, which was $l59, 852, 2S7
the past fiscal year. The number of
pensioners was reduced during that
period from 921, OS3 to 1872, O91, a de-
crease of 1892. OF those who died,
%, 900 had served in the civil war. 1t is
estimated that the 529, 844 survivors of
the civil war at the close of the fiscal
year average 70 years of age, the bibli-
cal estimate for the length of the life of
man.

DEPARTMENT IS BUSY
Officers of Government Are Looking Into Facts Connected With AL
 legged Wheat Corner.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Any man who buys so much grain that the price is held out of line. or out of reach of buyers. may be considered as acting in restraint of trade. This is the basis upon which. in the opinion of Presi- dent J. c. F. Merrill of the board of trade. Washington agents are now working upon the investigation of an alleged corner in Wheat. centered at Chicago and extending from Duluth and Minneapolis to the eastern sea- board. Although declaring that the Chicago board of trade is not under investigation. President Merrill said:
 "I know that federal agents, who were here Tuesday. went to the north west markets yesterday. This makes it look as if the department of justice considered that there is some under standing between the big wheat own CTS at other centers."

HE IS OPPOSED
Former Executive Can See No Good In the Arbitration Policies
 of President.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-Theodore Roosevelt, in the current number of the Outlook. has an article on "Arbi- tration, Pretense and Reality" In part it says
 Tt would be not merely foolish. but wicked for us. as a nation, to agree to arbitrate any dispute that affects our vital interests. independence, or honor, because such an agreement if kept, would be wicked, and still more wicked if broken. If, as a people. we wish to make a genuine advance in the peace of the world. we should agree definitely to submit to arbitra- tion all questions not affecting the vitals, independence and honor, and at the same time make a provision which will tend to bring about a peaceful solution of all questions not covered by treaty. Then, if either party claims a question affects it's honor. arbitrators could be called who would not have power to decide the matter, but to consider the questions of fact and law and make such recom- mendations as in their judgment seem befitting and ask an adjustment in any way they deem honorable to both nations"

SECRETARY SCORES \
 FORMER INDIAN AGENT

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov 2-Sec- retary of the Interior Fisher has given out the following interview:
 since my return to Washington, several statements, attributed to MT. William E. Johnson, former Indian liquor agent, have appeared in the daily press which contain serious accusa- tiOns against First Assistant Secretary Samuel Adams and Assistant COmmis- siOner F. II. Abbott the Indian office. Mir. Adams and Mir. Abbott are at pres tated during their absence to reply to matters of this sort. However, the attacks are wholly uniustifiable and should not remain longer unchallenged.
 The facts regarding Johnsons res ignatiOn show that he preferred to re- sign from the service rather than meet certain definite charges against him. Apparently. MT. Johnson entirely failed to realize that a government officer in pursuit of crime must be careful that his own conduct is not open to serious criticism. Assistant Secretary Adams and the officials of the Indian service are quite as jealous in prosecutions against those who sell liquor to the Indians as is MT. Johnson. If his dis erection had been at all equal to his zeal, he would have been continued in the service. Unfortunately this was not the case"

 sion and Working Schedule.

Not a great deal was done at the meeting of the entertainment commit tee at the board of trade yesterday An automobile committee was ap- pointed of which Dr. J. C Norton was made chairman. The duty of this machines as possible to meet the train from San Diego Monday morning and to take the visitors for a short trip about the valley. Everyone possess ing an automobile that he can possi- bly, spare for few hours is urged to communicate with pr. Norton.
 The entire committee for the enter tainment of California guests is to meet at the board of trade rooms at l o'clock Saturday afternoon.
 Secretary Welch has planned a working schedule to be used by the Phoenix hosts, which will greatly sim plify the task of entertaining so many guests at such a busy time.
 No doubt a large part of the pop ulation of Phoenix will be at the depot Monday morning to see the San Diego train arrive, the governor, the mayor, the rest of the entertainment commit tee, the young men and maidens from the high school with their arms filled with Valley Beauty Roses" and the Boy Scouts will also be among them present."

JIMMIE" GARFIELD WAS
 VISITOR TO PHOENIX
Former Secretary of the Interior Takes Look at the Salt River
 Valley.

James F. Garfield, former secretary of the interior in Theodore Roosevelt's cabinet, was in the city for brief time yesterday. He arrived in the forenoon and was here until about 2:3O. when he left for Mesa for a visit with Archie Roosevelt, who is in the Evans school there. The Phoenix visit was merely a side trip. as MT. Garfield is on his way to the coast.
 The visit of the former secretary was devoid of any particular inter est It had nothing to do with poli- tics and was prompted by a desire to see the valley again. the first time in several years While here MT. Gar field was entertained by l.. c. Hill of the reclamation service. The two men took an automobile ride over much of the valley and after their return the visitor was shown through the Water Users building.
 MT. Garfield also called on Dwight B. Heard, at the latter's office, Adams and Center streets. Because of the nature of MT Heard's business he naturally has been in touch with the interior department for the past sev- eral years. He and the former secre- tary are acquaintances of long stand ing.
 While in the city Mir. Garfield eX- pressed his pleasure at the remarka- ble showing made here since the time of his last visit. That Phoenix and the valley have a great future he says is a certainty He resumed his trip to the coast last night.
