FORTUNE TELLER GUESSED
WELL.

Miss Elizabeth Martin of 1925
Easton avenue and Miss Ella Albrecht
of 4143 Evans avenue were chums for
five years until Miss Martin discov-
cred a few days ago that she had
been robbed of s4S and went to a for
tune teller for aid in recovering it.
Upon the fortune tellers statement
that she had been robbed by her
closest friend. Miss Martin had Miss
Albrecht arrested on a grand larceny
charge
Miss Albrecht, who is 90 years old,
was in the custody of the police ma
tron. She denied that she took the
money, although Miss Martin said she
he'd admitted the theft to her. and
Detectives O'Brien and Garvey said
she had confessed it to them. Miss
Albrecht said the detectives torment
ed her into making an untrue con-
fession to get rid OF them.
That afternoon Miss Albrecht's
father appeared at police headquarters
and paid s4S to Miss Martin. The
latter then said she would not seek
to prosecute her former friend 1t is
believed that the case will be dropped

MORE BEAUTY IN MEMS DRESS

From London comes the threat of
revolutionary changes in the fashions
for men. There the demand for
sweeping improvements is expected
to produce modes which will restore
to. masculine toys some of the beauty
which they possessed in earlier years
and will combine it with utility.
One must watch the London fashion
plates to see what progress will be
made in returning to the clothes of
earlier days. for as Paris is the
source of all feminine styles, so does
London speak the final word as to the
dress of the men. But it was in the
French capital that the need of
change first asserted itself. There
various authorities seriously discussed
the notifications that must come if
masculine habiliments are to be saved
from the hopeless ugliness that has
characterized them since the time of

LITTLE BITS TO KNOW. ABOUT
y LAUNDERING.

Starching Dark Materials-Ar black
lawn, percale and calico dresses, dark
tan and dark blue ones should be dip
ped in starch in which a cupful of
clear coffee and lump of white wax
have been boiled. The coffee win give
to the material the original dark finish
which is so often destroyed by wash
ing, and the wax viii prevent the starch
from sticking to the irons
For Greasy Pieces-A tablespoonful
of kerosene added to the water IN
which any greasy pieces are to be
washed will help materially in remov-
ing the dirt; rub soap directly on the
worst spots and let the garments soak
for a short time in soapsuds to which
the oil has been added. and then wash.
A Useful Soap Shredder-Take q
piece of strong tin. pound small nail
holes all over it, then tack firmly to the
sides of two pieces of strong wood:
tack a loop of leather at the top by
which tot hang it up. and you will have
a useful soap shredder. Shredded soap
dissolves more quickly than larger
pieces.

REAL ESTATE DEAL
WANTED SET ASIDE
G. II. StoIl Brings Action Against II.
w. Hamilton.

A suit for the RECESSION of an inn
portant and recent real estate trans
action was filed in the district court
yesterday by G.. II. Stoll and wife
against III. W Hamilton and wife.
On May IL of this year, the plain
tiff, who is a resident of Los Angeles
bought of Mr.. Hamilton, a former
resident of this valley but now living
at Eureka, Cal, a tract of $40 acres
of land lying on the south side. The
purchase price was $4,000. The plain
tiff paid $4,000 and gave two notes
for $4,000 each. one payable in one
year and the other in two years.
The suit is based on an alleged
misrepresentation by the defendant
as TO the character of the land. The
plaintiff states that he wanted il for
the raising of alfalfa and that the de-
PENDANT assured him that it was good
alfalfa land. There was no other
kind that the plaintiff wanted for the
reason that alfalfa is the only kind
OF crop with which he is familiar.
1t is stated that the plaintiff has
informed himself that the land pur-
chased by him is not alfalfa land at
all but is of a character known as
slick" or alkali.
Therefore he asks that a judgment
be rendered declaring the entire trans
action off and that his money be or
dered refunded and that the two out
standing notes be cancelled
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
James III. Smith and Neil Mccarthy
of Los Angeles. The latter is a well
known former Phoenix boy.

While the endorsement given by the
directors of the board OF trade to the
bill to provide legation buildings for

mendable as showing the public spirit
of the board, the date of the endorse

The Magazines and the Postal
Revenue.

The fate of the bill to raise the
postage on magazines-and the fate
of the magazines as well-will be de-
termined, probably. within the next
few days.
The bill, introduced at the instance
of the postoffice department, provides
that the postage on magazines, IN
stead of being at the uniform rate of
one cent a pound. as at present, is TO
be one cent a pound on the pages OF
reading matter and four cents
pound on pages containing any ad-
vertising.
The cheaper magazines insist that
the enforcement of the proposed
change in postage rates would put
them out of business. and they are
making a desperate effort to defeat
the bill. one publication. the Satur-
day Evening Post. has gone to enor-
nous expense in efforts to mould
public opinion against the bill. The
advertisements which appeared in The
Republican a few days ago were
transmitted to the business office of
this paper by telegraph from Phila-
delphia, and presumably the same
quick method of placing the advertise
ments was resorted to in buying
space in papers generally. =
The controversy has two sides, of
course, as have nearly all subjects Of
discussion. That the magazines are
carried at a loss by the government
is no doubt true. although the pub
fishers dispute the departments con-

An Extra Session ImpraotioabIe.

A spirited communication to The
Republican from certain estimable
ladies of Phoenix makes strong
point of the fact that their inability
to vote makes -the women of Arizona
helpless to a great degree in any eff
forts to secure legislation. The COM
munication has reference to the need
OF additional legislation to provide
proper punishment for the creatures
who engage in the white slave,
traffic, and the ladies urge that pc
titions be circulated asking the gov
ernor to call a special session of the
legislature. 1t is not necessary to
discuss the supposed necessity of a
special session, inasmuch as it is not
within the power of the governor of
the territory to call the legislature
together. A federal statute provides
that no extraordinary session of the
territorial legislature shall be called
until the reasons for the same have
been presented to the president o.
the United States and his approval
thereof has been duly given. And of
course the president would not au-
thorize a special session, with all its
attendant expense, merely to cure a
supposed defect in our criminal stat
utes. We have thought it worth while
to make this explanation. for there
are quite as many men as women
who do not understand that the ques-
ton of an extra session of our terri
torial legislature must always be de-
termined at Washington.

BY Way of Answering a Crook.

The crooked Gazette manifests great
distress because The Republican. since
the constitutional election as well as
before the election, has expressed a
willingness to have statehood under
this constitution If it can be had. The
Gazette. operated on the theory that
its own readers are fools. tries to
make them believe that there is some
thing dreadfully abhorrent in telling
the truth-in frankly pointing out
that a cause is well-nigh hopeless.
while at the same time indicating a
willingness to have that cause sue
coed.
Nevertheless, and notwithstanding,
The Republican makes no apologies
for telling the truth. nor for its in
tention to continue telling the truth.
While we have had ample informa-
ton as to the attitude of the presi-
dent toward certain features of the
constitution, we have kept In mind
the remote possibility that he might
at least give the document a qualified
approval-in some form that would
assure statehood And If statehood
does come, il will be because of eff.
forts made by reputable citizens of

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, FEB. 10, 1911.
New Mexico and Arizona Still Linked.

The prohibitionists of New Mexico
have shown themselves more militant
than the prohibitionists of Arizona.
The constitutions adopted by the two
territories are equally silent on the
question of prohibition, but the pro-
hibitionists of our sister territory are
fighting tooth and nail against ad-
mission, while their brethren in this
territory were quite unanimous in
voting for ratification of the Arizona
constitution. Nor did the prohibition
lists of New Mexico have as much
provocation as the prohibitionists of
Arizona In New Mexico no pledges
favor of prohibition. In this territory
many delegates were pledged person.
ally and by their platforms to sup
port a separate clause" prohibiting
the liquor traffic, and by reason Of
these pledges the prohibitionists al
most uniformly voted the democratic
ticket at the election for delegates to
the constitutional convention. But in
convention the delegates fatty vio-
lated their pledges and ignored the
petitions from the prohibitionists, and
refused to permit a referendum vote
on a prohibition clause Nevertheless.
as we have said, the prohibitionists
good naturally overlooked the affront
and voted for ratification.
The opposition of the New Mexican
prohibitionists was scarcely needed.
however. to prevent the immediate
approval of New Mexico's constitution
by congress. 1t now appears to be a
certainty that there will be no con-
gressional action to help New Mexico
i'm at this session. The Republicans
advices from Washington are TO the
effect that there is a general dispo-
sition among the representatives and
senators who will be members of the
next congress to proceed carefully>a as
to further statehood legisIation-and
especially a disposition to hold New
Mexico back until Arizona also can
go in. The protests from the pro-
hibitionists of New Mexico will cut no
figure when congress gets ready to
act.
If am extra session for the spring
months is called-as now seems prob
albeit is possible that the statehood
question will be taken up before the
close of such session. The enabling
act provides for action by congress
at "the next regular session after
the president acts on the constitutions,
but that provision will not stand IN
the way if congress should conclude
to deal with the territories in an
extra session-sundry amendments TO
the enabling act are probable in any
event before statehood is finally ac-
complished for this territory, and
pending the enactment of this addi-
tionaI legislation New Mexico Will
have to wait.

tention. But it is indubitably true
that the circulation of the magazines
results directly in a profitable rev.
enue to the government from first
class postage Thousands of people.
upon reading the advertisements. write
letters to the advertisers, so that it is
hardly fair to compute the revenue
on the basis of carriage cost of dis
tributing the magazines alone. The
transaction as a whole shows a profit
To force a great shrinkage in the
circulation of the magazines would be
to cut off a large revenue now re-
ceived by the government from the
writer's of answers to advertisements.
The whole situation is terseIy-and
we believe fairly-summed up by the
Literary Digest:
The case of some of the low priced
magazines, whose large circulation is
based on their price, is serious-their
very existence is threatened While
every magazine will be more or less
hurt, the 10 and lucent popular
magazines, which Senator Dolliver
once called the greatest educational
force in America in the past twenty
years, will be dealt a well-nigh fatal
blow, and the gain to the postal rev.
enues will be made at the expense
of hundreds of thousands of readers.
The matter is now before congress
and will no decided in
and those -reSders-Mho- feel an inter-
est in preserving the present price
and quality of their magazines should
write or wire their senators and rep
resentatives without delay protesting
against this measure
I'VE have received from one of our.
advertisers some Illuminating figures
on the governments profit ON maya
zine postage. The president claims
that when a page of advertising is
carried at one cent a pound. it is
carried at a loss. Our advertiser in
serted a full-page advertisement, on
which we paid one cent a pound
That was where the government lost,
according to the president. In n few
days. however. the advertiser re-
ceived 1000 letters of inquiry i'm re-
Spouse to the advertisement. each
with a two-cent stamp on il. To
every inquirer the advertiser sent six
different follow-up letters and six
different circulars. making a total of
500 for postage so far. But this
was not all. He received about 400
orders for sets of books. to be paid
for i'm instruments. Each monthly
and a receipt returned. Two thirds
of the payments We're in money or
ders, each with a fee of three cents.
Altogether, the government received
about 1884. this advertiser reckons,
mainly in first-class postage. which
yields the government an immense
profit. On the whole transaction the
government received a handsome re-
turn for carrying that page of ad-
vertising at one cent a pound. That
side of the case is ignored. OF course
the entire matter of the business adj
of the postoffice depart
ment is intimately connected with
this question. Some think if the de-
partment needs money it could be
had by starting a parcels post, or by
revising its contracts with the rail-
roads, but we merely state the facts

their own interest in the case"
