INVESTIGATING THE
 COST OF PRODUCTION TARIFF EXPERTS LOOKING INTO FACTS OF WOOL INDUSTRY. All Sheep and Wool Men Are Urged To Call on Them at the
 Ford Hotel.

F.. l.. Shaw, technical expert, U. s. tariff board, in charge of the investi- gation on wool and mohair with two special agents, D. c. Hanawalt of Washington, D. C. and T. F. McCOn- nell. Morgan Hill, California. are in Phoenix making their headquarters at the Ford hotel. These gentlemen are securing information on the cost of producing wool and mohair and they are especially anxious to see all the leading sheep and goat men in Ari- zona. They have already visited the shearing plant at Beardsley and the one at Hot Springs Junction. Mir. Shaw states that he will be at the Ford hotel for the remainder of the present week and would be pleased to have sheep and goat men call and see him.
 This will be a splendid opportunity for the sheep men to represent them selves; the first they have ever had. The tariff board was created about a year ago. its purpose being to com pile data relative to the cost of pro- ductiOn of various commodities. that the fixing of tariff schedules might be done advisedly Various officials are assigned to different lines of investi- gatiOn and these men are handling the wool and mohair industry exclu- sively. They have finished Texas, will go from here to northern Arizona and expect in the course of their work to make a thorough investigation in all the western states
 HHrpfOfnTQ @ the wool growers have had were when the tariff question has been before congress and a few of them have been given a chance to address committees, perhaps under embarrassing circum- stances and when there was slight opportunity for thoroughness of dis cussion or for careful consideration of the facts adduced. In this instance the committee. if it may be called such. has come direct to the individ- ual producers, every one Of whom is invited to present his own case. What the investigators want IS actual data showing the cost of production Of wool and mohair in each instance and from the compilation of which the tariff experts can more rapidly arrive at just conclusions. This information it should be understood is given in the strictest confidence. IL is neither published nor made public any other way. as respects the individual
 Also the investigators are securing samples of wool and mOhair wherever they go. These are for comparisons. showing the grade of wool produced in each state and its respective cost. points that are very material in proper adjustment of the tariff.
 As an illustration of how thoroughly the tariff board is going about it's business. it may be stated that other men are engaged also in finding out the cost of wool in other countries That will give the board a knowledge of just what kind of competition the wool growers have to meet in the market
 IL is known that there are lots of sheep and goat men in this vicinity and that they are coming and going all the time. The gentlemen will be here during the rest of this week and they would be greatly pleased to have all concerned in those industries. call on them at the Ford hotel.

WAR MANEuVERS DEMONSTRATION
 AGAINST JAPAN
Article in London Standard from American Correspon- dent Causes Sensation in
 England
Massing of Troops Consid' cred Rebuke from Taft for Mexican Intimacy with Japanese.
Special from United Press.)

London, March 14-Stating uneQuivo- cally that the army "maneuvers" along the Mexican border are in real Japan, the Standard, today, prints an article from it's American correspond ent that has caused a sensation ir both the English Foreign Offices and displomatic circles. The Standard, editorially, stands sponsor for 1t and, despite the fact that the name of the correspondents authority is withheld the story is given great credence here. The article is as follows:
 Mexican intimacy with Japan which has been increasing to such an extent as to threaten America with the possibility of a disastrous flank attack in the event of a war for the mastery of the Pacific. is the real req son for the massfng of the American army in Texas and the concentrating of American warships along the Mex ican coast. Americas military dem- onstration is a warning to Mexico and also notification to Japan that the United States will not tolerate the es- tablishment of a Mexican government, pro-Japanese in sentiment.
 The American government is fully resolved to go to any extreme to bring an end to the danger of the Japanese using Mexico as base for operations, at any future time. against the Uni- ted States. The situation, therefore, could not well be more serious.
 '"This information, which throws a new light on the sudden military ac- tivity of President Taft, comes from a source whose authenticity cannot be questioned and makes possible the following outline of the situation:
 There has been developing for some time a strong anti-American feeling among certain leading Mexf- cans due partly to attacks on Mexico published in American undertaking periodicals and partly to g. real fear of Pan Americanism. This has led Mexicans high in authority to develop which the Japanese, for their own strategic purposes, have encouraged. Many thousands of Japanese are now residents in Mexico Some estimates place the number at 100, ,0e0 All would accept, unhesitatingly, military orders from Tokio.
 Lately. there has been unearthed, unmista kable evidence that certain eminent Mexicans, who are gradually obtaining a position where they can dictate Mexico's foreign policy, have ingness to ally themselves with Jap an Some of these Mexicans even car- ried their pro-Japanese proclivities to the extent of expressing @ willingness to give Japan a naval base on the Mexican coast. The Japanese diplo-l mats would not accept openly such a concession at this time. knowing that so complete a violation of the Monroe

THREE DOCTORS
 CONSIDER MRS, MELBER INSANE
Special from United Press )


 Albany. March 14.-Three physi- clans who have examined Mrs. Edith Melber and consider her insane were i'll court, today, ready to testify when the Melber murder trial was resumed. They are to explain to the jury that as result of her early environment and the hardships she endured dur ing her short married life which end ed with the death of her husband and the birth of her boy in the poorhous. she is mentally defective. They be- lieve the woman should have been confined in an asylum fifteen years ago.
 Mrs. Melber will probably not go on the stand. Her attorneys, John Dugan and George Palmer, have about decided that her nervous condi- ton would make it impossible for her to tell her story.
 Patrick H. Gabbins a member of the Modern Woodmen of America said that he visited ;he county house and found Mrs. Melber in poor health.
 "Did her actions at that time inn press you as being rational or ira tfonal?" asked Attorney Dugan.
 Irrational"
 Mrs. Mary Gibeau testified that when Mrs. Melber was a child her father and brothers nicknamed her Crazy Babe" because of her actions "She was wild child,' she said, 'and nobody could manage her"
 Dr. Herbert E. DeFreist, of Troy, Q medical expert, testified he made a physical and mental examination of Mrs Melber at the penitentiary
 ''Did she appear sane or insane to you?" asked Attorney Dugan. 'In- sane, imbecilic insanity
 Do you think she was insane on January 6, the day the crime was committed?'' "I do"
 Jesse M. W. Scott, another alienist, said that he examined Mrs Melber on four occasions and found her insane He beliexed her insane when she kfN- ed her child

DECISION ISN'T

 K. OF 6. MEMBERS
Friendly Suit of Knights of Columbus Really a Drawn Battle-Fund May Be Di- vided in Future.

That the apparent defeat of the old- CT members of the Knights of Colum- bus in their friendly @suit against the order was not a complete defeat at all, but might be more properly re- garded as a drawn battle. was learned here today when the full text of Judge George W. Wheeler's decision on the Supreme Court bench was received.
 The decision is what lawyers cal! E" a negative pregnant in other words nominally denied, the court points the way to possible action in the future.
 Judge Wheeler, in his review of the case affirn1s some of the claims of the plaintiff in the most positive terms and while he denies an immediate divi- sion of the surplus death benefit and mortuary reserve. funds, he points the way to the division of these funds in the future.
 Furthermore he states that the mor- tuary fund is clearly a trust fund and cannot be diverted from the usage for which 1t was created. He stamps it's present usage in the order as clearly illegal. This was one of the strongest contentious Of the older members who brought the suit.
 The judge strongly indicates the fact that the division of this fund and of the surplus Qedtn DenSut IulO a COIdl of s6HO 10000 may be brought about in the future as soon as it is shown that this surplus is unnecessary to the fin ancial safety and welfare of the order. The older members who brought the suit believe that this clearly points the way to a victory in the future, perhaps in the near future
 The points of Judge Wheeler's deci- sion which bear upon these subjects are as follows.
 ''The transfer of this Mortuary Re serve Trust Fund to fund applicable to either the purpose of the Mortuary Reserve Fund. or that of the Surplus Death Benefit Fund was violation of the purpose of the fund and consti- tuted an illegal diversion of the trust
 Though this Mortuary Reserve Fund has been illegally diverted it does not follow that it's contributors are entitled to it's distribution, or to have it set apart for their ultimate benefit. In any event it must be set apart and returned to the original

 EXPOSED TO
 INFECTION
Health Board Inspectors Break Up Public Funeral
 for Scarlet Fever Victim
Pupils Sent Home from School and Action Against Doctor for Not Reporting Case.

New Haven, March 14.-Evidence of what he terms one of the grossest violations of the health ordinances discovered here in years, as the re- suit of which several hundred peo- pie were made liable to infection and which necessitated the wholesale dis missal of pupils from the Fair street school, has been placed by Health Officer Frank W. Wright before As sistant City Attorney Ierardi. The case involves pr. Vincenzo D'Elia, one of the younger doctors of this city, who is claimed to have attend ed little three-year-old Cornelia Es- from scarlet fever, without making any report to the health department The health officials did not discover the case until yesterday when they went down and stopped a public fu- neral, driving everyone away from the infected house.
 When the health Inspectors arrived they found the house packed with people, many of them little children, who came to take part in the funeral services. According to the Italian cus- tom the house had been open all day neighbors to pass through and see the body. For hours the house was thconged with a steady stream of vis- itors and 1t is impossible to estimate how many were placed in danger of contagion. Inspector John J. O'Don- nell, when he arrived with another inspector ordered that the house pe fumigated at once, drove all the mourners away and ordered the un- dertaker, M. Maresca, to put the body into a new casket and clear away all the stuff he had brought into the house.
 There were six little girls, who were of the Esposito girl, who were to act as pall-bearers and there were any number of other school chill dren who had visited the house since the death. Inspector O'Donnell placed the situation before the princi- pal of the Fair street school and she. after questioning the pupils whether they had gone near the house, dis missed 60 of them.
 The affair has caused great alarm in both the school and health depart m ents as there are even now great many children and people ill with scarlet fever ,s s.,
