warm fight in
The Fourth Ward
FRIENDS OF A. w. CUPLER BRING
OUT A PETITION WHICH is
QUICKLY FILLED-O. J. THOMAS
TO COME oUT-THoRNE STILL
ON THE FENCE.

The race for alderman in the Fourth
ward in the next city election promises
to be one of the warmest fights ever
seen in that district of the city. From
the present outlook it appears that
there will be four candidates who will
go after Alderman Clapp's seat in the
council.
Yesterday afternoon a number Of
friends of Atty. A. w. Cupler began
circulating a petition to have his name
placed on the election ballot from that
ward. The petition was readily signed
by a number of the most prominent
residents of the ward, who are urging
Mr.. Cupler to make the race.
Mr.. Cupler has lived in the ward
for a number of years and owns prop
erty in that district of the city. He is
member of the law firm Of Pierce,
Tenneson & Cupler, and there is no
doubt but what he would make an ex-
cellent official
o. ]. Thomas is another man who is
expected to come out in a few days.
Mr.. Thomas stated this afternoon that
he had not definitely decided what he
would do regarding the matter, but
hoped to know by tomorrow noon. He
owns property in the ward and has
lived there for about five years, being
connected with the j. /. Case Co. 1t
is most probable that he will run.
Jack Thorne, another prospective
candidate, is still on the fence. Some
of the influential men of the district
are behind him and urging his candi-
dacy. However, he is little reluctant.
but being a big property owner he is
deemed most desirable candidate.
d. w. Shields has already entered
the race and filed his petition with the
city auditor. He is an old timer in
the city and one of the foremost resi-
dents of the Fourth ward.

In connection with the annual re-
ports of big corporations for which the
period around the first of the year
is the open season, statisticians of the
financial district have undertaken a
comparison of the relative returns OF
various kinds of business. These fig
ures show that merchandise is COM
paratively more profitable than manu-
featuring, that is the margin of pro-
fit for the business turnover" is high
er. OF industrial enterprises, rail-
roads and steel stand near the top, the
latter with a margin of about 20 per
cent and the former with net earnings
of approximately one-third the gross.
Curiously enough the position at the
bottom of the list is held by the meat
packers with a margin of only la
per cent on their gross annual bust
ness. On the same basis the steel
corporations earnings would be re-
duced $115, 900, 900 below what they are
at present. This computation, how
ever. is a matter quite distinct from
the earnings of individual corporations
which in many instances come from
other sources than their direct opera
tions. Thus two-fifths of the Union
Pacifc's big dividends come from in
vestments of surplus and the capital
and surplus of the Armour packing es-
adjustment, amounting to nearly
$1OO, 100000 enables to pay a dividend

New York. Feb. 2S.--One thing from
which New Workers did not swear off
on Jan. / is committing, since figures
just compiled show that this city's
army of commuters is the largest in
the world, the number of daily travel
ers by city and suburban transit lines
being over 100000. The population
Of the area including those who do
business in the city is nearly 100000.
The exact figure is 6,S46,097, which is
more than 1,0O0,00t greater than the
population of Illinois, the third state
in the union, including Chicago, the
countrys. second city. This commu-
tation district. consisting Of the ter
ritory lying within thirty miles of
Times Square contains one-thirteenth
of all the people in the continental ter
rltory of the United States. 1t equals
the population of six large southern
states with 100000 to spare. 1t ex-
ceeds the combined population of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima by something over 100000. Go
ing west one finds that the metropoli-
tan district of New York has a greater
population than the eleven western
most states with nearly 100000 in
population still unmatched, notwith-
standing that two of these states,
washington and California, have more
than 1000, 900 each. Many foreign
countries with armies and navies and
pretensions to being world powers have
smaller populations than New York's
metropolitan district. Among them are
the Netherlands, exclusive of colonies,
with 1851, 600; Portugal proper with
5000, 900; Chile, with 5,O00,0O0; Greece
and Denmark Republic, with an aggre-
gate population of about 100000,
while the district is within few
hundred thousand of all Belgium. In
view of these surprising figures it is
not difficult to understand the reason
for millions of dollars which are being
spent here for transportation improve
ments.

ARNOLD HELD FOR

At his preliminary hearing in
Tombstone yesterday Ross Arnold
was held to the grand jury in $4,000
on a charge of assault with intent TO
kill for the shooting Of William Watt
at johnson last week says the Bisbee
Review. Watt passed through the city
last evening on his way to the county
hospital in the care of Constable
Frank Clark of Douglas, who had been
to Tombstone with a prisoner and
was returning home.
Ross Arnold entered a plea of not
guilty at his hearing and the prose-
cution merely introduced evidence
enough to hold him, the testimony of
Watt that Arnold was the man who
shot him. being sufficient to do this
The bail was then fixed at $4,000
which the prisoner was unable to
furnish. so that this amount is
equivalent to a holding without bail,
which would undoubtedly have been

the more serious crime of murder
The testimony in the murder case
can he arranged pending the assem-
bling of the grand jury for presenta-'

while he is now held on the assault
charge he will be placed on trial for
his life at the next term of court.
