over in one corner, behind a desk when the meeting was called to or der. Other correspondents arrived, and were told that it was an. exeeu- tive session. The Gazette eorres- pendent was then pointed out to the clerk of the committee and he was asked to leave the room. This he did.
 He was present in the room only few minutes. and then under false pretenses. Delegate Cameron was not present, because he was not on the subcommittee appointed by the house, to confer with the senate com mittee. This can be substantiated by other correspondents and the clerk of the committee.
 "C. P. HUNT.''
 Exclusion of the press from an executive session is not unusual but for a correspondent to fake his own paper and put his own editor in the Ananias Club-well that's some thing that no real newsman could imagine himself capable of doing, even in his widest moments of re venge. -.-1Sg
 We are not complaining of our sufferings, were they not sweet sor. rows there are lots of other things which We could do, but to. be forced to extend the glad hand of esprit d'' corps to the O'Nei!l type of "would- be correspondent is the "most un- kindest' cut of all."

 "This is a happy day, day that every ArizOnan ought to be proud of. We are here tonight as American cit izens and as citizens of the great commonwealth of Arizona. We are here to celebrate that great event for which we have worked since be- coming territory.
 "'For twenty years the fondest wish of my heart has been statehood for Arizona, and tonight l do not care in what manner it has been got ten we have the boon for which I have so long hoped.
 ''I have been begging for it for more than a quarter century and now I am here as an American citizen. I am an American first, last and al- ways, whether my country be right or wrong. I love Arizona above ev- cry other state in this great country. When we came here the Red man held sway and we have made it country to be proud of, we have a work to do; is there a man within the sound of my voice who does not believe that we are capable of doing it?
 'We are going to establish great commonwealth and make something for the people who are here now, am with you for statehood first, last and all the time.
 ''We can get everything the heart desires and can make great com that will cause us all to glow with pride. From now on We rule ourselves. we will not be ruled . from Washington or anywhere else. We reach our maturity of twenty one on the 2lst of August. The next {, session of the legislature will make August the 2lst a state holiday. ten years our population will be doubled. half million at least, and probably more. Let us give up our differences and make a great state. Let the majority rule, l am that majority rule is the best thing for us, and I for one, will gladly bow to the rule of majority when that majority will be major ty of cur own eitizens.'

PRESCOTT HOME IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING MT. and Mrs. Johnson Narrowly Escape
 Death BOLT wRECKS FURNITURE OF ROOM IN WHICH THEY
 WERE ASLEEP
(From Tuesdays Dailyl

Mir. and Mrs. James H. Johnson
 had an almost miraculous escape
 from death yesterday morning at 4:4O o'clock, at their home on North Montezuma street when lightning struck the building and the bolt
 passed into the room within few feet of where they were sleeping.
 Both were stunned from the shock but in a few minutes recovered. In speaking of their experience, they say that the room presented the ap- pearanee for a moment of being ablaze, and each of their right ears were peculiarly affected, having the feeling of being burnt This sensa- tiOn continues for a few minutes and was painful Their hearing was not affected however. For over half an hour after the shock, the room was permeated with a very disagreeable odOr, and notwithstanding that every window was opened this condition continued for some time. The inter for of the room presented the ap- pearanee of having been wrecked. Curtain rods that were securely moor ed by flanges, eroekery setting on tables, chairs and other loose articles, were thrown to the floor in a violent manner. The ceiling of the room in the east corner, appeared to be the point of entrance, and was eharred for a few feet. At other places the room was disfigured also.
 An examination of the exterior of the building shows the heavy con- tact. Over fifteen feet of bracket work was ripped off the side while six feet of shingles. were torn from the roof, which with other material were crushed to fine particles and strewn over the yard. The suppOsi- ton is that the bolt struck the center of the roof, passed into two columns, one entering the room below, and the other leaving the premises when it was diverted by the shingles on the inclined roof. The residence is own ed by R. Y. Frederieks, president of the Prescott National Bank.

BRADY IS UNMAsKED

A majority of the men in this great land of freedom are of the firm opin- ion that were they to condescend to take a few minutes of their valuable time for the purpose they could easi- ly write the finest editorial or feat ure story that ever appeared in a newspaper
 The fact that the average news man started in to carry papers, work ed on the mailing galley and then by dint of hard work, climbed from the position of cub reporter to local man, telegraph editor, special cor respondent and so on through the maze of desks to the glory of the swivel chair and the fearsome 'blue peneil'' makes no difference to these GOd-gifted "prodigies.''
 Nowadays it is a most difficult task to find a group of ten men in the lobby of any large hotel which does not contain at least one news paperman, who will unblushingly ad- nit that in the past, "when he had a lot of time on bis hands, don't you know" he wrote the lead eds. for some large paper-said large paper of course being located in a part of the country with which none of the party present are acquainted. ] The latest slap in the face which the innocent pencil pushers in Ari- zona have suffered comes from Wash ington, where one Brady O'Neill has constituted himself a Godendowed correspondent of an Arizona 'Ealmost newspaper" Of course no one can really blame the self-seeking Brady The position of a real newspaper man in Washington carries with it the respect of the people, who are glad 1 to give credit where credit is due, 1 and who realize that a good news !, gatherer is a valuable asset to any | community; more especially so if the 1, man is capable of expressing himself fearless1y and remains unbiased-and {; there are lots of these men.
 The other day the Phoenix Gazette i printed a story from their might-be Washington correspondent The dis patch stated that O'Neill had attend ed an executive session of the sub committees of the senate and the house when they were considering the statehood question. The dispatch was read by a number of real Arizona | editors and even though they realized l that the dispatch must be incorrect | they wired their own correspondents | in Washington ''jacking them up" for permitting the slippery Brady to apparently "put one over" It is | not a very difficult task to imagine | the smile on the face of Told Wires'' as he handed the unsuspeeting cor respondent the pointed dispatch, which many of the brotherhood are willing to bet read something on this order. ''If still living wire immedi- ately why correspondent Gazette at | tended executive session territories committee-f receive copy from you-if i'll, kindly wire for assist anee''
 The Arizona Republican wired their Washington correspondent and the following is the shocked reply of that startled news gatherer:
 Washington, D. C., Aug. l9, 1911. ''The Republican.

 ''It is not necessary for me to say, how We should use these opportuni- ties-but every true hearted Arizonan will see to it that our new state shall be so managed that it will attract the enterprising and the home loving and none other.
 ''It is within our power to neglect this golden opportunity and to mar the future beauty of this common wealth. I believe that we have here the actual and potential assets to make this commonwealth a great sue cess. But things do not work out of themselves. Every citizen must do his full duty according to the light that God gives him to do that duty so that we shall obtain in Arizona a government which shall not alone be our boast but the boast of our ehil- dren and our ehildren's children.''

 ''We again tried for statehood and with the exception of eight votes all of congress and the President approv- cd of our constitution with the re- call eliminated. And they have grant ed us the right to. vote on the re- jection of that feature.
 'I move that we extend our sin eere thanks to congress for what they have done for us-with the exception of the eight who voted against us.
 ''We should also thank the Presi- dent for signing the bill which will permit us to attain statehood which we so desire. and that the elimination of the recall shall be left to us, the real voters of Arizona.
 "We stand here tonight as eiti- zens of Arizona, we are here because We have been requested to do so by the Mayor and We talk as Americans talk-out in open meeting to the men, the women and the children Let us all offer mp thanks for the great boon that has come to us.
 "It is right and proper that we should be friendly all around tonight because way down in our hearts we recognize the fact that today we are standing in the portal through which we will soon pass to be accepted by the sisterhood of states.
 "It is fitting that we. should clasp each other by the hand and say, Thank the Lord our days of trials and tribulations are buried in the past and the glorious future lies be- fore us
 "Why should we not at this time feel that we are worthy of congratu lation! Remember the man who said that, If you will elect me to l will make Arizona a state or will never ask another favor of you. and he has kept his word that is why we are here tonight.
 "As you all know I refer to our delegate-Ralph Gamer on. (Great applause).

at the age of forty nine years,
Captain Schuster had resided
in this county foT many wears;
he and his twin brother Adolf,

years defore the creation OF Ma

ago. Of which the recently de-
ceased brother had charge up to
his death. Diseased was univer-

ing Il man ofgenial temperament
and of sterling integrity. He was
a good citizen, good man and
most true and sincere friend,
and his acts OF charity were nu
merOus, but they were always
made without ostentatiOn. A
mong our Mexican people, par
ticularly the poorer classes, his
death is a sad hereavment, and
they will feel the loss fhis bOun-
ty and friendship. Deceased
leaves a most devoted wife and
four children to mourn over their
irreparable loss and they have
the sincere sympathy of the en-
tire community. = St. Johns
