YOUNG ROBBER
HAS The LOOT
Confesses to Entering Home
at Red Bank.

Red Bank, Oct. 25.--John Wilson,
eighteen years old, an orphan,
pleaded guilty before Justice SickIes
Monday to breaking and entering
the home of Garrett Wyckof on
ing s13 In cash and a quantity of
jewelry. He was held without bail
for the grand jury.
Mrs. Wyckof returned home from
church to find several empty pock-
etbooks strewn about the floor near
the front door. She called Jacob
Shuts, q nelghbor, and together
they made a search of the house,
which had been ransacked. An open
window at the rear of the house
disclosed the method of entrance
and a trail of burnt ~matchsticks on
the floor pointed out the path of
the robber.
Suspicfan turned to young Wilson,
who had been employed by MI.
Shuts, and the latter got a police
man to go look for him. Wilson
found and was being taken to
the boro hall when the officer no.
tfeed that he was dropping some-
thing along the way. 1t proved to
be the articles OF iewelry.
When the youth was searched at
police headquarters there was found
him not only the loot from the
Wyckom home but a 32-calibre re-
volyer carried in q holster. So an
other charge-carrying concealed
weapens-was chalked up against
hfnR
Wilson, who is an orphan, was
suspected of another robbery some
time ago but succeeded IN estab-
fishing an alibf. He has been at
the state reformatory. When
With being sent back
there some time ago he declared
that If he should be. he would, on
being released again, start out Inn
to become q second Jesse
James.
The police think that young Will
son Is one of a gang OF boys about
his own age who are responsible for
several ~robberies. Several other ar
rests may be made, although Wilson
protested that he alone did last
job. Dime novels are blamed
for the boys uudoing.

ARIZONA CASTS
A HEAVY VOTE
OF New State Name
Party Tickets.

phenfx, HrIz, Oct. 25-The vote was
heavy In Arisona's first primary for
the nomination of state officers a
candidates for the United States sen
ate. Returns are not all I'm, but the re
suit so far ascertained makes it almost
certain that former delegates to con
gress, Marcus A. Smith and Eugene
s. Ives, both of Tucson. will be the
Democratic nominees for senators,
with Henry Ashhurst running close
against Ives. The gubernatorial race
between G. w. p. Hunt of Globe and
Thomas F. Weedin Of Phenix promises
to be close, with a slight advantage In
favor of Weedin, while Mulford Win
sor, it is believed, will be. the Demo
cratic nominee for congress.
The only contest ON the Republican
state ticket Is between Il. s. Wells of
Prescott and George w. Young of Phe-
nix for governor. 1t is believed Wells
carried the state by an overwhelming
majority. Young is present territorial
secretary.
On the Republican ticket Ralph Cam
eron, present territorial delegate In
congress, and Noval A. Smith Of Bis
bee are the senatorial nominees.
A feature of the Democratic voting
was the scratching Of the progress
sive Democrats. Hunt, candidate for
governor, is a progressive and was
president of the convention which
drew the state constitution.

MILLION FROM
FRANCHISE TAX
New Jersey municipalities
viii Benefit as a Result.

- - fCNt WV ~ w. ~
Trenton, Oct 25-ANew Jersey
municipalities viii receive more
than ST. 000, 900 this year from the
franchise tax levied against public
utility corporations. This VIII be
considerable increase yer the ag-
gregate amount OF this tax last
year, when the figures yer $751;
144. This Increase will be partly
accounted for by the higher tax rate
this year against street railway
companies. the rest being due to the
fact that 1t has been q good year
for the business of this class Of cor
poration.
Under an amendment to the Voor-
hees franchise act passed a few
years ago street railway companies
must pay this year at the rate OF
four and one-ha1f per cent on their
sceipts. Before the amend
ment was enacted trolley corpora
tions paid at the rate OF two per
cent on their gross receipts, the
same as all other public utility COM
panies. The new act increased the
trolley rate one-half per cent eaeh
year until five per cent was reached,
when it Vas to remain. at that hg-
ure. The maximum will be reached
next lei when every street rail-
way in the state will be required to
pay the franchise tax at the five per
cent. rate.
Last year this tax showed an in
OF S132,87I Q that OF
of 1909. The tax is assessed by
the State Board of Assessors and
the amount d31e each taxing district
In the state is then certified to the

recent comments of certain newspa-
pers upon Senotor Osborne's candi-
dacy for reelection la Esser county,
Governor Wilson yesterday express
ed his warm admiration for Senator
Osborne aud said.
There was no mant In the Senate
last winter more constant or helpful
In the work Of legislation. He main
tanned throughout the term the
highest standard of public duty both
in what he counseled and what he
did. and In my Judgment IL would be
a distinct loss to- the State IL he
should not be returned to the Sem
ate.
In everything In which I have
dealt with him / have found him
moved by a punctiIlious sense Of
honor and a very Intelligent compre-
heflsion of the interest6 of the State.
8Thes frictures that have been made
upon him seem to me very unjust
indeed"

Passing of 3 Mighty Army.

A correspondent sends these fig ures from Washington. They should cause man to think. He says:
 "These fftieth anniversary days of the Civil War have directed at tentiOn to a fact too often overlook ed, that the young men were the chief factors in preserving the integrity and honor of the Union" The total enrolment in the North ern Army was 2,778,309. Included in this aggregate, of course, are hundreds of thousands of re,enlist- ments. More than 100000 of these soldiers were under the age of 21 years at the time of their enlistment. Twenty. five boys only 10 years old served under Old Glory; 225 12 years old; 1923 IA year of age; 833,15; 9S1, 16 and 1,l5l 846 Is years old. The Civil War is already ancient history.

The Revoluticn's Changes.

Captain Campos, who wa lieuten- ant to Francisco Chiapa during the Sonora campaign, was in Tucson recently and is a fair example of how present conditions have upset the calculations of those who re- mained true to the Diaz govern ment in the recent unpleasantness. Many of these were officials and as such became highly unpopular, especially when they remained
 firm in their allegiance to the government. Now comes the clamOr for their removal from office and in many instances they
 find it the part of wisdom and safe. ty to remain away from home where they have left all their prop erly and interest. It means a new deal new start and probably in a new country and among new surroundings. It is small wonder that they find their plans difficult
