ANNA HAYS,
TORN BY BULLDOG,
LAUDS BOY SAVIOUR
Swathed In Bandages, She
Tells OF Playmate's
Struggle.

Literally bandaged from head to foot
nine-year-old Anna Hays, who was ter
ribly bitten by q bulldog last night, was
taken to the Naval Hospital this morn
ing for treatment in the Pasteur lab
oratory. ...
Sitting on the edge OF her little white
cot in the parental home at 200 H street
northwest, Anna sobbed nervously as
her mother tenderly dressed her pre-
paratory to her removal to the hos
pital.
In her childish way she told Of the
manner in which her twelve-year-olo
playmate, James Herbert, saved her
from being killed by the ferocious dog,
. 1t was his strength alone that pre-
vented the vicelike jaws closing over the
throat of the helpless little girl.
Ard James Herbert, manly little
fellow, says all he did was to pull Pat
away" The dog that attacked his play
mate was his dog and had been in the
family of Horval Herbert, 2145 H street
northwest, four years. James is heart
broken because his dog has been taken
to the pound and will be shot If at the
end Of nine days it is found it Is in
fected with rabies.
Anna HAYS spent a sleepless night,
and, according to her mother, suffered
much pain, groaning most of the time.
Her left arm is Iacerated In three
places, she having thrown that up be-
fore her face to ward of the attacks
of the dog when he sprung at her
thFoat.
Score of Lacerations.
Her back is torn in more than a score
of places where the sharp teeth Of the
canine were buried deep. Both her legs
are wrapped in bandages from the hip
TO the knee.
I'VE were playing chase in Herbert
back yard" nervously explained little
Anna. 'I was playing with James sis
tiers. Donna and Nina. and he was
chasing U.S. The dog took after us when
he saw lis running and he jumped on
me. He bit me and l screamed and
screamed. After James pulled him of
I ran into the house. but he followed
me and jumped on me again"
The Herbert boy explained that after
he had grabbed the dog by the throat
and pulled him away from the frantic
Pirl, she went in the house and closed
the door. but the dog clawed It oren
and had poCnced on her. throwing her
face down before he could reach the
beast a second time. 1t was while she
was lying or the floor screaming that
her back was torn and hor legs bitten.
Tore Her Dress OFF.
Before James could overpower the
dog a second time, the little dress that
Anna wore had been torn from her body
IN shreds. The screams of the frantic
child were heard by the neighbors in
all parts of the square ana the mother
in her home, recognizing the cries,
rushed to her assistance.
An ambulance was called and the girl
was A. taken to Emergency Hospital,
where her wounds were Cauterized and
bandaged. Then she was taken back
to her home to await removal 10 the
Naval Hospital today.
The girl is the daughter Of Mr.. end
Mrs. Thomas Hays. Many little play
mates stopped at her home on their way
to school this morning and scores of
others, who were too rimid to go in,
congregated in front of the house to
express their childish sympathy.

Veterans Of Civil War
Plan Big Reunion Here

A reunion OF the survivors of both the
Southern and Northern armies Of the
civil war, to be held in Washington
some time during 1913, is being planned
by the hundreds of veterans now at
tending the reunion Of the Blue and
the Gray at Memphis, Tenn.
Declaring that Washington, prac-
ticalIy on the dividing line between
the North and the South, Is the ideal
city in which to hold such a reunion,
the veterans now in session will lay
the matter before the organizations
which they represent on the return to
their homes, and request that 1t be in
dorsed.
According to the veterans now meet
ing in Memphis, a larger delegation
would attend such a reunion in Wash
ington than in any other city.

Qnduding All Interest and About !
Pays Toward the House,

There is not another such "home buy"
in all Washington from the standpoint of
price, terms, location, and the character OF
the homes themselves. The surroundings
are of a character that must necessarily
increase the valuation of these homes. The
best car line in the city is right at your
door 1.-THE 14th Street line, that transfers
free to practically any section of the city,.

GIRLS WITH RED HAIR
 PREFERRED AS WATERS

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 2.-Red-head- ed girls are preferred for walters in Chicago, at least one cafe manager gives them preference, because. he says, they attract patronage. He is tine manager of one of the restaurant concerns which has lunch counters scattered all over the down town district, and ought to know what he is talking about
 "Red-haired girls, find, are pleasing to customers-they like to look upon a head of flaming hair while they eat,'' he said. "A res taurant with none but red-headed girls waiting on the customers would become famous. People would come blocks to dine there.''
 Girl walters with blonde and black hair are looking up lotions to dye 1t red, and some of them are think ing of wigs. Other restaurants have decided preferences either for color ed walters or foreigners of specified nationality, but the Walters Union has barred from most of the down town cafes the colored walters, who a few years ago were altogether in the majority.

HUGH KOSHER HAS
 THRILLING ESCAPE

few minutes. The horses were seen with nothing else visible than their
 heads, which were projecting from the water, the vehicle holding them in that position from lodging against large boulder in the stream. Af- ter reaching the imprisoned animals, Mir. Beach pulled out his knife and waded between the two horses, hold ing his own animal, and cut the har- ness, releasing them, when they swan to the shore. The wagon was then sent down the stream, and later was recovered a half mile below the plant, or one and one-half miles from where it started. The mail from the camp was lost, as were also several ar tieles of value. One letter contained a s greenbaek. It was being sent by a young man to his sweetheart in the East, as belated Christmas pres ent.
 MT. Mosher was taken to the power house, and soon revived. He was driv- ing the wagon for Warren Davis of Mayer, and stated after he was rescued that the water line on the bank did not indicate that the stream was swollen and that the flow was at what he believed was normal, when he crossed the day before.
 Mir Beaeh's heroic efforts are highly commented upon, and that he assumed a great risk is admitted by all. eonversant with the conditions.

According to telephone advices re- eeived at the office of the Prescott Gas and Electric company, yesterday, Hugh Mosher had a narrow escape from drowning while endeavoring to cross the Verde river, near the com pany's plant on Fossil Creek, in the early mornig. He left the place on the return trip to Mayer, in a two- seated wagon drawn by two horses, and in endeavoring to cross at the regular point travelled did not appre
 ciate that the river was running high nor that the current was so strong as to wash away the ground to greater depth. The flow of water was deceptive and when he attempted to cross the under current floated tne vehicle and whirled it down the stream with lightning like rapidity. MT. Mosher was thrown from his seat nearly a half mile, and was picked up later on the bank in a famished condition by one of the crew on the construction line, who happened to be near the place and was a witness of the accident An alarm was given al once, and Phillip Beach, who was at the power house, about a mile be- low cant to render any assistance He was on horseback, and realizing that the two horses would soon be drowned if not rescued, rode into the torrent and effected their release in

MORE POWER FOR THE HUMBOLDT
 SHELTER
From Saturdays pai1vr

That the plant of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company at Hum- boldt is to be permanently operated was practically assured yesterday when the Arizona Power company in this city received adviees to begin an increased service in electrical trans mission with that place, increasing the present horse power from 400 to 1000. The contract runs for a per iod of three years. It was signed yesterday in New York City. R. S. Mason, chief engineer of the Power company, stated yesterday that the increased power would begin immedi- ately.
 This movement is significant of the success that has attended the project after less than one year of operation, and is regarded as proving the wisdom of installing the large re- duetion facilities at that point. Jer- ome leads in consumption of electrical power to date, and when new ma ehinery is placed in operation will require over 2,5OO horse power for it's vast equipment Humboldt ranks next, and with the additions eontem- plated to the Prescott district, the three above points will consume over half the power generated from Eos sil Creek, or in the aggregate, nearly 5000 horse power.

CIENEGUITA MINE STILL
 CARRIES A 100000
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Before leaving for Los Angeles, yesterday, on litigation affecting the famous Cieneguita copper mines in Mexico, Colonel J. F. Wilson, one of the principal attorneys, stated that he has received telegrams from Son ora that the country in which are located these mines, had been cap tured by the revolutionists, and that the county seat, situated but a short distance from their main works, had also fallen. If the country is held by the insurrectos. this will resolve the problem of his interests getting control into rather a perplexing di lemma. The litigation in this cOun- try will have to be overcome first, and then the rebellious element in Mexico will be the next conquering movement to be effected. Colonel Wilson states that the final wind ing up of litigation in this celebrated mining suit, is to receive final con- sideratiOn during the trip to the coast, after several years of inces- sant strife. He returns in time to vote at the Constitutional election, and will go to Mexico if the atmos- phere is agreeable.

BODY OF MAN IS FOUND ON AGUA

(From Saturdays Daily.(

George J. Ellison, who arrived in the city yesterday from the Frog Tanks section, south of Castle Hot Springs, brings the news that the badly deeompOsed body of a Mexican was found on the banks of the Agua Fria, in an isolated place, by himself and companion, Ziba Wilson, while riding the range. An examination showed no marks on the body, other than a few bruises received from con- tact with rocks and other obstacles But one foot had a shoe on, and he was eoatless. In the pockets of the overalls was found a pocket knife in a ease, that had the initials "L. R." stamped with aluminium, while an envelope addressed "Ortega, Phoenix, Ariz.," was with difficulty made out. The given name was oblit- erated. It is believed he was sheep herder and en route to Phoe- nix, and came from one of the camps about twenty-five miles distant. The appearance of the remains would in- dieate he was drowned during the heavy rains of a few weeks ago. The body was found partially covered by the sand. He was about B years old.

HUDSON OR EAST RIVER ID BE
 ABOLISHED
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Manhattan, as an individual island, may soon cease to exist. Whether, however, it is to become a part of the main con- tinent from which t>is now separated by the Hudson river, or tp join Long Island, from which the East river now parts it, is highly eonjectural. Some years ago Thomas A. Edison proposed the abolishment of the East river by filling it in from Hell Gate to the Battery. Now in view of the lack of docking space for huge trans Atlantic liners in the Hudson, the scheme has been revived again in connection with the latter stream. Were either of the rivers abolished, it is pointed out, it would be possible to build docks of almost unlimited length across the southern end of the city, instead of placing them as is done at present, in New York s two main rivers, whose narrowness makes it impossible to give them sufficient length. The adoption of such a plan would involve the filling in of nearly eight square miles now occupied by water, and the expendi- ture of some $5OO, 100000. The value of the made land would, however, far exceed the cost of the undertaking, and incidentally, would go far to solve the ever growing problem of congested population, which, it is es- timated, will reach a total of 12,000,- 900 by 1880. Engineers who have been consulted, declare the enterprise to be perfectly practical and abso- lutely demanded by the future needs of the city. Certainly the idea is tremendous conception and may be great factor in the traffic problems which are now perplexing New York.

 J. A. Martin of Stoddard, owner of the Martin group of copper mines, while in the city yesterday, stated that since the new strike made by the Yavapai Metals Mining company, near that place, there has been quite rush to get locations in that new field, and there is every evidence that with the continued good show ing on the big property quite a settlement will come into existence
 He states that he has resumed de- velOpment on his properties and plans to continue work to greater depth than ever before. He is pleased at what is accomplished in the new work, and anticipates a lively dis triet since other properties have re- sumed development in that locality
 A small crew is at work on the Binghamton mines, under the direct ion of I. T. StOddard, and it was re- POA'eu 'Ho'' III (" sHOAI IlHhe DlS OP- erations were to begin, from the results received during the past few months where new and strong bodies of copper ores were opened up.

PLEASED WITH DEVELOPMENT
From Thursdays Daily.)

Dr. O. L. Geer, president of the Arizona Gold company, whose inter ests are located near Golden, on the A. & C. railroad, was a visitor to the city yesterday, from his camp. He states that from assessment work recently finished, there is a better showing than ever before. He believes that in a short time there will be installed a good operating equipment, the property warranting extensive exploitation, as it has pass ed the prospect stage. He states that considerable activity is going on in the Congress Junction district, and the near future has a decidedly favorable outlook.

TOURING MOTORISTS
 INVITED TO YAVAPAI
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 California has been developed
 wonderfully during the past few
 years. Several causes have contrib
 uted to this development, but one
 of the chief causes has been the
 touring of the state by Eastern peo-
 pie of wealth. This touring has been
 done chiefly by automobile, and
 whyi The answer is obvious.
 Good Roads! The Chambers of Com
 merce and Commercial Clubs of Cali
 fornia have been busy with the
 building of good roads and the spreading of the good road idea. Maps have been issued by these or ganizations giving the principal places of interest and the best motor road by which the same may be reached. Points where supplies may be had have also been indicated up on the maps and such other inform ation as may be of use to the tour ing motorist has been supplied.
 Many of these same people and others will make tours through Ari- zona were they assured of good roads and attractions to be found. Yavapai county has the best roads in the Territory and more places of interets to the tourist and pleasure seeker than may be found in any other county in the Southwest. Very few people outside of Yavapai eoun- ty know anything of its roads. It is impossible to obtain a map show ing the roads in Yavapai county and the Territory Many motor tourists are anxious to take advantage of the superb winter climate of Ari- zona but the meager amount of data they are able to secure relative to the roads in Arizona keeps them away. No road in any country sur passes the Territorial highway lead ing south from Prescott. The road bed is all that the motorist can de- sire, while tine scenery is beyond de seriptiOn. The Prescott Chamber of Commerce will in a short time be able to supply a map giving at least a part of this information. We invite the touring motorist to visit Yavapai county, and assure him that his trip will not be in vain, no mat ter what he seeks.

NOTED STALLION
 sUccUMBs TO OLD AGE
CFrom wednesday,s pailyl

''Monte," one of the famous
 standard bred stallions of the South
 west, of Hambletonian Messenger
 blood, owned for the past twenty
 one years by J. Marshall Morgan of
 this city, died Sunday evening, after
 a brief sickness. The death of this
 popular equine is sadly regretted,
 from the fact that he was probably
 better known in this county than
 any other animal, and with that dis tinction his doeile nature made him
 a general favorite with old as well
 as young. "Monte' was sired in Kentucky, and foaled in the Verde
 Valley, on the ranch of W. S. Head. His original purchase price was in excess of $1,OOO. In color he was deep bay, and his splendid form and speedy gait, together with a nature that was always gentle and obedient, placed him in the hign rank of standard bred sires. The sire of Monte was sold for the sum of ssO.OOO to an English pur- chasing syndicate and was taken to that country for breeding purposes. His get won many of the biggest races ever won, while for carriage purposes the offspring was regarded as the most valuable. MT. Morgan stated yesterday that many times he was offered very large sums of money for this animal, but as time wore away, only the more attached to his dumb friend did be become, and all offers were rejected. Three years ago $1,OOO in gold was tend cred for him, but it was useless for the two to part. Monte never had an official record on the track, but time and again he trotted a mile in 2:17 flat and without preparatory training. He was twenty-six years, ten months and twenty-eight days old when his death took place.

RICH SILVER ORE CACHE FOUND
 IN RAMBO

GLOBE, Ariz., Feb. 3.-While en- gagged in the inspection of mining property in the Rambo district, Jul jus Riser was attracted by an ex- tremely old mining pan stuck in the sand under "sotol' bush. He pull ed the pan out and in doing so sew eral drills and other miners tools were revealed, rusted and deeayed with age. Further search near the bush revealed pieces of high grade silver ore.
 The presence of the ore in the place seemed odd to MT. Riser, as it was evidently ore that had been brought there, and he began prospect ing by digging around. He soon came to a nole filled with about 600 pounds of ore. The ore, on examina- ton was found to be silver glance, which would run about 600 ounces to the ton.
 The district has always been fam ous for its native silver. It is esti- mated that over $3,000,000 was taken from the Rambo mine before the ersis of '73 and other things caused its abandonment. It was through the discovery of these mines that Globe was begun and grew in- to flourisning silver camp, and it was not until years later that the Old Dominion mine was found.
