PRESS COMMENT
A SENSATIONAL STORY.
(Arizona Republican,

The allegations made against Sher. if Henry Thompson of Gila county and lack" Newman of 3Iooe by a sonvfce in the territorial prison are so grave as well as sensational that the people of the territory should fe- ceive the story with a reserve of judgment. The record of Henry Thompson as sheriff of the county of Gila is a long and honorable one: his home people, who know him best, have repeatedly shown their confi- dence in him. and that he could be an assassin seems impossible. We know nothing of the record of Mir "Jack" Newman beyond the fact that he is reputed to be a millionaire as the result of his mining operations in the territory, but he is certainly entitled to be held guiltless of this crime until better proof of this crime until better proof than any yet made public is brought forward against him

that no Earbled reports shall reach the east
 with some other fellows who ars wintering out in this part of the country, went up to Ae SvAn-Hilda district to play a game of ball. The gold miners up there offered us lib- eral terms to come up and play their picked team and we went. If 1t had not been for me the home team there would still be poor. Now the second baseman and sh0rtstop are million aires, and the first and third base men and pitcher are making moAsy so fast they don't know what to do with 1t, while the outneiders and the catcher are selling stock in the east and expect to develop rich mines on their territory. And all because of slide I made.
 The grounds there were laid out on piece of level land just below the mountain shelf. The big gold claims and workings all are higher, and that particular spot had been prospected over many times and declared not to be rich enough In gold to work. So no one claimed 1t
 We'll, to cur surprise, those miners were giving us a hard game and the score was tied up in the eighth when I got to first on a hit to left center. The next batter popped out-and I decided to try to steal second. l. was that steal that made them mil lionsires. I got away with q running start, but the catcher made a beauti- ful peg to second and I thought was out. but tosk dive in front of the bag. piVoted around it and got clear under the baseman. l hit the dirt so hard that I tore a big turrow in front of the bag and when ! got to my feet l was surprised to see the base man throw the ball 20 feet away, and instead of going after it, he dropped down and began scratching at the ground I saw in an instant that in sliding I had uncovered a streak of Eold-bearing ors-but instead of stay ing there at second base and becom- ing g millionaire the desire to win that game was too strong I passed up the millions and tore for third. WEIGH I EeECnco lncrc I hAW the sec ond baseman and shortstop excitedly stepping of their clsims, and the others were beginning to do the same. SC I sprinted on homs with the win ming run.

A large crowd of pzrtisans of both aides was gathered around the field, in buck boards, carriages. automobiles and on their COW ponies, aud a delegation of cowboys stood holding their ponies. making a sort. of living fencs around the ball ground. As said. we were a run to the good in the ninth in- ming, but the Miners were last at bat. and with, one man out and a man on second base the batter hit the ball far cut to left field. The left fielder saw that he couldn't catch the ball, and running In sand with those high heeled boots made him so slow that il didn't seem possible he ever could reach the ball and throw :t back in time to head off the runner coming from first. and be hardly had a chance to cut of the second run and keep them from beating us right there.

SWINGS BULL SNAkE:
 IN CROWDED HOUSE
Phoenix Man Almost But Not Quite Crazy Enough
 for Asylum

PHOENTX. June 27.-What shall be done with Earl Waugh. who isn't crazy enough to go to the asylum. bnt is crazy enough to flourish a four-foot bull snake in the midst of a frightened audience at theater?
 Earl has been tried for insanity and found to have too good a mind to warrant his being sent to the asylum for the insane. He is 2f years old. somewhat simple-minded and extremely mischieyous. He came here recently from Los Angeles, be ing sent on a paupers ticket, and immediately upon his arrival he be gan to cause trouble.
 His first actions which called at tention to him were to stop auto mobiles about dusk and tell the driv- CTS that they must have lights on their machines He gave many drivers earnest. fatherly advice about breaking the law, though he had not been employed by anyone to act as a policeman. Numerous complaints were made against him and he was arrested. It was thought that he was insane but when he had a hearing the doctors decided that he was not. though they were a little doubtful for a time.
 Waugh was released last Thursday night he broke through the front door of the Coliseum, holding a long snake, very much alive, by the tail. Several persons tried to stop him but he was not to be stopped. women screamed when they saw the snake. but Waugh waved it above his head and continued serenely on his way. Finally the house officer coIiared him and he was landed fin the county jail.
 Now the question is, what shall be done with Waugh2 He isn't crazy; say the doctors. but he is contin- ually doing foolish things and get ting into trouble. At present he is trusty about the county jail and the officers say that they suppose they will have to continue him in that capacity.

The decision rendered at St. Louis yesterday by the United States cir cult court, to the effect that the con solidation of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railways is legally effective. is of some local interest
 Interest in the suit attaches in Ari- zona because the decision. if upheld by the supreme court of the United States. will leave the Southern Paci- fife interests in undisturbed posses sion of the Phoenix & Eastern rail- way, now known as the Arizona Eastern.

 The senate was soon compelled 70 adjourn because Of the storm that ragged about the capitol late in the afternoon.

SUGGESTS SQUARE DEAL.
lArizona Democrat

IAFlGOud DeAOcfatl
 It is anticipated that more or less friction will occur when the question cf the deyision Of office becomes an issue between the counties south of the Yayapai line and what is known as northern Arizona. We don't share this belief While per cent of the vote Of the territory is south of the line above mentioned. yet MaricOpa, being a central county, will act as a balance wheel in this controversy, and see to it that jus .tice is done to northern Arizona
 One senator from the north and lone from the south would be fair and just, and a just division Of all other state officers. The only dan ger, and it is a serious one, is north fern ArizOna's inability to agree upon Ia man for senator. A failure to thus iagree might result in southern Ari- zona securing both senators. But this can only be brought about by a disagreement Of their own people.
 The democrat suggests that the democrats of northern Arizona put aside petty jealousies and select some able. capable man to repre- sent that sectiOn-a man that will command the respect Of the demo. crats of the senate-and unite upon such a man, and his success will al most be assured Otherwise, the south will capture both members of the senate.

Truthful James Scott, better known as Death Valley Jim, the tall and lanky pitcher of the Chicago White Sox, forwards to me the following authentic account of perhaps the most remarkable catch yet recorded. No afidavits accompany the story. Jim's word is suficient On the following mail came a second equally truthful narrative from Jesse Orendorr. catch CT If he hasn't tied Jim 1t isn't his fault.
 These yarns come right from the seat of action. for they are playing ball all winter down in the desert league in Arizona and southern Cali fornia.

 JIM sCoTTS YARN.
 This happened which makes 1t un- like a lot Of other baseball stories I have read. I can get afidaYits for 1t fl necessary, but think you ought to take my word for it. It happened only the first week after New Years, in game that l was pitching at Bisbee The day was hot The pleasant little ratuesnakes were sporting coyly around In left field, 8 few centipedes and scorpions were pursuing a taran- tuls past the pitchers slab, and the short stop was batting a Gila monster on the head. All Arizona nature seemed in a joyous mood, for we were winning the game. The score was to in our favor in the seventh inning, and only one on bases, when stopped a bounder It was an easy little bounder and should have retired the side without a run and prevented the awful catastrophe that came aft erward. But l just stopped the ball with one hand, and when I started to pick 1t up. 1t was gone. It had rolled down a prairie dog hole. stuck my arm down as far as it would go. but the owl that lived with the prairie dog evidently thought an otbef affinity was trying to break into the happy home and bit nay fiE- ger. and before we could get that ball out two runs had scored and they were leading us to f. That looked like hard luck, but the worst was to come Tn the ninth inning we had two men on bases and DO one out when I hit the ball far out to center field.
 The center fielder was wearing one Of the big sombreros that they have down here made of felt and weighing about seven pounds. He started after that ball. He didn't have chance to catch it on the 1y, but was trying to field it back before two runs counted and gave us the game. He sprinted along straight out to center with his back to the feld The ball was go- ing over his head. but instead Of clearing it hit the summit of that sombrero and fell onto the rim. All the runners were tearing for home when the accident happened. The ball fell onte the rim at the back and the fielder had to chase 1t three times around the rim with his hand before he finally eoralled 1t and tossed it back to the inseld, making an easy triple play and beating us out of the game

FACE TO FACE WITH REFORM.

WITH REFORM.
 Northwestern republicans who rage at Canadian reciprocity as injurious to farmers and threaten in revenge to pull down the tariff temple do sOt exhibit themselves in an admirable light. They have been demanding tariff reform for more than a gen eration. They have known from the keginning- that agriculture was the . victim and not the beneficiary Of custom-house taxation. Yet when test has come they have voted more soiidly for privilege than Wall street ever did. says the World.
 If the representatives of these people in the United sCates senate mean what they say. they wlil soon find an opportunity to do something worth while. They will not be asked to destroy temples or to demolish custom houses, but to consider soberly the bill which passed the democratic house reducing taxes upon wool and woollens Will they follow the few
 outrageous republicans in that body who have blazed the way for them, or will they as usual hold back?
 This measure is aimed at what ex- Senator Aldrich called the very cita- del of the tariff. It corrects sched- uIes which Mir Taft refers to as in- defensible. IL is a redemption bx democrats Of promises made to the people in the campaign of 1908 by victorious republicans It is a per feetIy reasonable attempt to reduce the cost of living.
 There would have been no insurg- ent republicans in the senate today t they had not convinced the peo- vIe of the northwest of their hostility 70 trusts. Canadian reciprocity de prfves the lumber and paper trusts uT some of their pluader. and the prorozea new wool tariff takes the ezfortion out of the trust taxes or clothing blankets and carpets. Why not begin here? Unless the so-caD ed progressive republicans of the vest unite in support of such re- forms, wherein do they differ from the gilded old guard and the crusted stand p@;ters2
 The situation is one that calls for action rather than menace; for con| sfrucuye legislation rather than re ven9e and destruction Honorable men iu both parties who have never paraded their prOgressiveness are cO- operating in behalf of wider markets, lower taxes and the control of trusts. Ia this laudable effort the most ve- kement opposition that has yet been encountered has appeared, we are =sarry to say, in the ranks of the 'osfentatious progressives of the sen -ste.
 Northwestern republicanism has 6une little but buster and threaten ;ou the tariff question for forty years. ,No matter how much it protested, 1t has meekly accepted what the Me KinIeys, Dingleys, Aldriches and Psynes imposed upon it Most of it's spokesmen in the senate, noisily pretending to be something else. are fn fact truly representative of this sprrft of submission. not to say sub sGyiency They are mighty in threats but they do not vote against ssdordOn.
 Elected as reformers. our boastfui progressives are breeding panics among those who are conscientiousiy promoting reform. Sworn foes or monopoly. the trusts now find in nem their greatest aid and comfort

 Mir. Smith said he wanted beet sugar protected until it was not necessary to protect it. He could not prophecy when that time would come.
 Representative Baker of Califor- mia asked why financial aid from Hayemeyer was necessary.
 The church had extended its credit to borrow money" said MT. Smith We gave notes to the banks as trustee in trust and the church itself had a bonded indebted ness of more than s1.00o.000"

 Mir Smith said the church had been able to get along without Japanese and Hindu labor. He told of the opportunities the sugar business gave the people of Utah for earning money and testihed that the Mormon tithe of 10 per cent of the earnings. in prosperous years, amounted to $1,250.000 and s1,5o0,- O0O.
 Mir. Smith said he never negoti- ated with Havemeyer personally in the consolidation, the negotiations being conducted by Thos, R. Out ter, business manager of the Utah Idaho Sugar company. He did not consider the Utah Idaho company at . per cent a profitable industry.
