THEFT OF CURIOS IS
 DEATH OF AGED MAN
Sees Patient Labor of Years Gone and Dies of Grief
 in Tucson

TUCSON. May 12.-Heartbroken because of the theft of a large coz lection of cactus canes and other trifles of a similar character which he had iaboricnsly fashioned with a penknife in order that he might feel he was not entirely dependent upon public charity, Montgomery Joice. aged so years. and three months, died yesterday at the county hos pital.
 MT. Joice, whose birthplace was New York state, was a pioneer of Arizona, having come to this terri tory between thirty and forty years ago. For some time he was a miner and prospector. working in the boom ing camps of the territory and making and losing stakes" with the accustomed prodigality of the times.
 As his years advanced his oppor- tunities for money making became less frequent and his earnings small CT. It was then that he became i'll, and ten years ago he was taken to the county hospital to become a pa dent of the institution where he re- mained until the time of his death.
 Always Proud of spirit, the old man could rot bear to think of the public supporting him and therefore worked as steadily as his waning strength would permit at making small ornaments of cactus cactus canes and similar articles. These he sold to visitors of the institution and was thus enabled to preserve his self respect.
 Several weeks ago, when Joice had completed a large number or canes, spending particular care up- on their fashioning and design, they were stolen from him, whether oy some prowling marauder or by some other inmate of the institution, no enc seems to know. From that time on. his proud spirit seemed to sink and while his death is said to have been caused by the attendant ills ot old age, his rapid decline is known to have been caused by the loss or his beloved canes and with them the feeling that he was contributing to his cvn support.
 The body of the aged pioneer IS now at the mortuary of the Parker Undertaking company and will prop ably be inferred in the county plot

The American Womanss league


There is someone at Newberg who
appears a good deal excited because
the Oregonian recently devoted space
in its news columns to a "virulent
attack on the American Woman's
League, its methods and pre-emin-
emily against its founder, e. G..
Lewis, Mayor of st. Louis, Mo-" The
columns of the local Newberg papers
have been filled for several weeks
with eulogies of Lewis and a some
what frantic defense of the league.
The Newberg writer ought to be
better informed for Lewis is not
Mayor of st. Louis, Mo.
The oregonian has not attacked
the league nor undertaken an ex-
posture of Lewis, its founder, though
1t has some misgivings that 1t is not
fully discharging its duty In its
failure to do one or both. 1t has
printed the news about the legal
difficulties of the league, including a
defense of Lewis by himself, and an
article from the Rural New Yorker
making unpleasant statments about
the whole enterprise.
There are many good women In
Oregon who have been persuaded tc
subscribe their money and their
time to the project, and 1t will be 9
