being fought there stood on the farm now owned by Pleman Harris red oak which had attained the age of S4 years. For 136 years following, or until last week, to be exact, this same tree was monarch of the forest in Simpson county. Measuring five feet in diameter at the base when felled and worked into wood it yielded ten cords. It was necessary to use dynamite in the process, half a stick being exploded in each cut of eight fee!.
 The destruction of this mammoth oak, unqliestionably the last of it's kind in southern, if not in all Kentucky, removes doubtless the oldest tree in Simpson county, and at the same time serves to remind the people that the forests in this section are disappearing as did Poor To, the original possessor, and unless some action looking toward conservation is speedily set in motion there will not be timber enough left in southern Kentucky to stock hoe.

JUDGE GOULD RAPS
 4ANT|-BUCKET" LAW

Washington. April 1.-Justice Ashley M. Gould of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, has announced his determination to adopt the opinion or Justice Wright. declaring unconstitu- tional the attempt by Congress to pass special anti-buclSeting' legislation.
 Justice Gould is in full accord with the finding of Justice Wright that the statute violates the liberty of contract protected by the constitution, and that 1t attempts to penalize an innocent cus- toner. if the broker intends that the transaction shall be "bucketed."
 That the victory gained by the decision of Justice Wright and the concurrence of Justice Gould will be vacant one if the court of appeals should sustain the invalidity of the law is an opinion ex- pressed today by members of the local bar.
 Since the court of appeals, they point out has decided in the Wade case that a bucketshop is a gambling place under gaming table, it will onIy be necessary ment charging conspiracy to commit the crime of gaming.
 The belief is expressed that such in dictments would hold in view of the fact that the federal court of appeals in crim-, inal cases in the district has decided against the bucketshops.

Williams Calls

:From Mondays Daily ExamIrer)
 This sanctorium of afternoon bril- liancy, THAT'S US, was invaded this morning by U. G. Wilder, candidate for sheriff of Yuma county, and Jack Williams, candidate for congress oi Cochise county.
 MT. Williams was introduced by MT. Wilder, and say, we like him fine.
 He hadn't talked more than a min ute until we found out that he used to be in the newspaper business himself
 He can come in and use the office towel in the back office any time he sees fit, and he's likely to see one very shortly after using the towel.
 He can have one of our sandwiches, and maybe, if nobody aint lookin," a glass of beer around the corner.
 We'll let him sit in our swivel chair and swing his feet and nobody could speak any fairer than that.
 And if any of the Yuma people fail ed to meet him today, they should go to the Yuma theatre tonight and hear him speak.
 Jack Williams came to Arizona prospector. He is a lawyer now and district attorney of Cochise county Everybody is his friend who knows him and the Yuma people should hear him tonight and become his friends too.

Caravan of Autos
 Coming to Yuma

The Arizona Republican of yester day says:
 As showing how the transcontinen tai automobile touring idea is already growing, it is Illuminating to reflect on the facts in connection with the latest party of four machines engag- ed in a cross country flight, three of which arrived yesterday. The other may not arrive until today.
 It has only been few months since the first transcontinental tours by pro- fessional pathfinding machines began to penetrate this region, and only a few weeks since the first tours con- duceted solely for pleasure began coming this way. The present cara van of four machines is in reality four different touring parties that assem- bled by chance into one company. Not one of the four individual parties knew of the existence of the other when they set out upon their journey ing.
 All of the tourists are travelling chiefly for pleasure, with California as their destination. Those who have arrived announce that they are enjoy ing themselves hugely and that Arizo- ma roads and Arizona scenery have fully repaid them for having come this way.
 The members of one party which is registered at the Ford hotel are Oscar Nelson, Frank Nelson, H. A. Carlson and their chauffeur, all from Rock ford, H. Immediately on their arriv- al they were found by E. Trucraft, of the Melczer company, who knew them all in Rockford, H., his former home.
 From these gentlemen it was learn ed that the other party here is compos- ed of a Denver man with three con- panions.
 One of the machines yet to arrive carries a MT. Ford and his party of five from Cedar Rapids, Ia, and the other now here carries M. D. Lapham and his wife, child and chauffeur, who came all the way from Rhode Island.
 The machines all travelled together after they met in Kansas, until they got to Globe, Arizona, where one ma chine was laid up a few hours for re- pairs.
 They all expect to spend a few days in Phoenix resting and looking over the valley, and at their leisure contin- ue their trip to the coast via Yuma and San Diego.

Jack Williams Is a
 Popular Candidate

(From Mondays Daily Exanliner) It is quite evident that the Globe
 liver Belt mas a high opinion of the
 haracter and ability Of Jack Will Hams, the Republican candidate for
 ongress.
 The following interesting sketch of his career in Arizona is taken from the columns of that paper.
 Major Carl Hayden, of the Arizona National Guard, Williams Democratic opponent, seems to be depending for his vote upon the strength of the mil itary organization of which he is the head.
 While Jack Williams has no mili- tary organization to depend upon in this campaign, he has what is a great deal more efficient, those qualities that go to make big statesmanship.
 Coming to Arizona as a prospector, he spent the first years of his resi- dence at Benson and in the surround ing mountains leading the life of a prospector. He had received a legal education, but had not practiced his profession in Arizona because of his enjoyment of the free life of the hills.
 One day he came to town dressed in flannel shirt and khaki trousers, and learned that friend was engaged in personal injury suit against large corporation. The man had no money, no friends and no attorney, anad Jack upon hearing of his friends plight, volunteered his services.
 No one knew of Jacks legal ability, and when he appeared before the court in his uncouth garb, everyone looked at him askance. But when he began his plea before the jury, with the eloquence which later made him famous throughout that section of Ari- zona, pleading the justice of the cause of his client, he won a victory that marks an epoch in the practice of the bar.
 He then had no difficulty in secur- ing clients and opened an office in Tombstone, the county seat of Cochise county.
 Three years ago he was elected dis trict attorney and his success as such has led to his present nomination.

Happy Days for Pa
---n----

Pa is feeling rather chipper, every
 day he wears a smile, Though he has no public office and
 keeps working all the while; They have not increased his wages
 and they never will I guess, But his look is always cheerful and
 he's full of hopefulness. His overcoat is seedy and ..s pants bag at the knees; We are not among the people who can travel overseas; The price of living's higher than it oIgn, to be, tis true, But pa clings to his courage and he takes hopeful view. The folks next door have lately had to cut expenses down, It seems they've been unlucky-it's the talk around the town; So they've sold their new electric ma pretends it was too bad So it seems he needn't buy one, and it makes him mighty glad.
