Der, Glen Anderson, operator for the

company several dollars that were
locked up in the strong box, although
$16.70 and his gold watch had to be

The hold up occurred about 1880 q.

He had absented himself for a short
time from the Office in order to get
some coal to replenish fire he main

in the waiting room who Immediately
covered him with two guns and de-

special officers and the
local authorities are on the case but
thus far there Is no clue to the hold
up. 1t is thought that two additional
men were outside the station during
the robbery, but they took no active
part in it, and none of the participants
are recalled sufficiently by the operator
to give a clue to the officers.

BANN|STER IS
FOR A CHANGE
PHYSICIAN TO THE BOARD OF
CONTROL WOULD HAVE REVE-
NUE. HANDLED DIFFERENTLY.

Des Moines, June 20.-That the reve-
! nues Of the Iowa state institutions are
for the most part, adequate, but that
in some instances changes could be
made to better the system OF handling
these revenues, was the opinion Of
three speakers before the board Of con-
troll yesterday. DR.. Murdoch Bannister
of Des Moines, Max E. Witte Of Clarin-
da and Henry w. Rothert Of Council
Bluffs were the speakers.
DR.. Bannister in his talk on sources
of the revenue as compared with others
states said that the state purchases the
land and pays for the erection Of the
buildings and their maintenance. The
support fund revenue is drawn through
the state treasury in the majority Of
cases. In some the expense is born by
the county from which the inmates
come.
The state treasury Is reimbursed by
each county for the cost of maintenance
of every patient in the state hospitals
who had a resident in that county at
the time Of his or her commitment
said DR.. Bannister. THE state bears
one-half the expense Of maintaining
several counties bear the other half
The state pays all expenses Of main
tanning the institution for feeble minded
children and the school for the deaf,
except that spent for clothing and cer-
tain sums paid for transportation,
which are paid by the counties and by
them collected. in many cases, from the
parents of the children.
1T would be far Better" said DR..
Bannister, if the practice Of collecting
the amounts from the counties were
discontinued and the state treasury
bear the burden Of supporting the state
institutions. The money must all come
eventually out Of the pockets of the
people Of the state. Under the present
system there is an unjust distribution
Of the burden"

GROWING MUSHROOMS

it may seem, located in the very
heart of Kansas City's most populous
district. in tunnel $50 feet long
and % feet wide, which the Metro

that the tunnel had been abandoned
for more than ten years, when a
Kansas City minister conceived the
idea of raising mushrooms in it.
The conditions of soil and tempa,
ture in the tunnel seemed ideal for
mushroom culture, and the entire
floor space was planted with spawn.
The crop resulting was so far beyond
the fondest expectations that he
proceeded to put in shelves to in.
crease the area of growing space.
At the present time most Of the
floor and shelf space is occupied by
growing mushrooms and a crop of
from thirty to fifty pounds a day is
harvested, which sells at 10 cents q

MILLIONAIRE EXECUTED
Member of the Almada Family
- Guilty of Treason

Neither great wealth nor family
influence were able to save the life
of Roberto Almada, millionaire
who has just been executed in
Mazatlan for treason, according to
report received in Tucson this week.
The execution caused a sensation,
for it was thought that Armada
would merely be kept a prisoner
until the present rebellion subsidies
or becomes victorious over the es-
tablished government.
Armada was a member of one of
the chief families of the State of
Sinaloa, a young man full of am
bition whom his parents could not
restrain from joining the revolution.
He was a cabo or leader in the at
tack and capture of Culiacan. and
took part in several recent engage
ments of less Importance.
The manner in which he was taken
prisoner a few days ago was typical
ly Latin. American. Almada took
passage in disguise from Culiacan,
presumably bound for the States to
secure ammunition for the rebel
cause. When the steamer dropped
anchor at Mazatlan which is in fed.
eral hands, and the government in
spectors boarded the vessel, Almada
dared not make himself conspicuous
by remaining in his stateroom, but
joined the crowd on the deck, keep
ing his face as much shielded as
possible without attracting atten-
ton.
He would probably have escaped
notice, had not one of the govern
ment inspectors happened to over
hear the conversation of two small
boys who had boarded the vessel.
Who's that lonesome looking
man over there who keeps looking
out toward the sea?" asked one. .
The other looked at him closely
for moment.
Why, that's Roberto Almada."
he said.
Almada was arrested Immediately
afterward. He was the delight of
the Mazatlan newspaper men. for
he took pleasure in posing for their
pictures, sometime on foot and
again on horseback, and with his
rifle, revolver. knife and cartridge
belt conspicuously displayed,
Up to that point it was more or
less like play. But when he was
taken before the judge of the first
instance in Mazatlan his trial was
brief and to the point. He was
quickly adjudged guilty of treason

RICH sULPHIDE ORE
High Price of Copper Makes

Astonishing proportions are being

ore, recently made in the town of
Christmas on ground owned by
Theodre Phillips, since taken over
by the Christmas Mining Company
The ledge is 300 feet wide. AT
one point this ledge is cut to depth
Of 100 feet by wash. Men were
started from the bottom of the wash
driving two drift tunnels eastward.
One of these tunnels is now in 45
feet.
Even this small amount of work
has demonstrated the existence of
no less than 100,00 tons or ore.
That tonnage is blocked out in fact.
1t is visible on three sides and the
tunnels have not come to the end of
the ore body, or anywhere near it.
1t does not take one long to see
that there are millions of tons of
ore there, though technically speak
ing only hundred thousand tons
are blocked out.
All the ore is sulphide and the
values are uniform throughout the
explored territory. 1t carries 1.39
per cent copper and 81 a ton in gold.
Figuring copper at sixteen cents a
pound. this makes the metal contents
of ton of the ore worth $5.16.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

Governor Hunt and the legisla-
ture appear to be hopelessly at
loggerheads on the question as to
which of them should assume the
responsibility of having or not hav-
ing an election next November.
The governor has frequently since
taking office declared in favor Of
the election, but contends that an
act of the legislature is necessary to
authorize and direct him in the mat
ter. The solons take the position
that no such Legislative action is
necessary; that the duties and pow
ers of the executive are fully pre-
scribed by existing statutes and the
constitution, and that if there is any
doubt or question, it is purely one
of executive and judicial construc-
ton and determination. and in no
way of legislative right or duty.
The GUARDIAN is strongly in favor
of general election this year, be-
cause failure to hold it would be
a clear evasion, if not a direct viola
ton of the spirit and even the letter
of the statutes and the constitution
of Arizona. 1t is un-American and
dangerous to allow any set of public
officials to prolong their term of Of
fee for three times the period for
which they were elected. The prin-
ciple of frequent elections has always
been considered a great safeguard
of popular government. The peo-
pie of Arizona will regard with dis
favor any attempt or subterfuge to
violate the rule of biennial elections.
Whose move is it?
Section 2 of Article XXI of the
constitution Of Arizona, reads:
"All laws of the Territory of Ari-
zona now in force, not repugnant
to this Constitution, shall remain in
force as laws of the State of Arizona
until they expire by their own limi-
tations or are altered or repealed by
law; Provided. that wherever the
word Territory, meaning the Ter
ritory of Arizona. appears in said
laws, the word State shall be sub
stituted."
"On the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, A. d.
1902. and every two years there
after, a general election shall be
held for the election of delegate

tive assembly, and county and pre-

TOMATO SEED OIL

!. In Italy and France an industry
has sprung up in the manufacture
of tomato seed oil. The Consular
Reports note that in the Province
of Parma, Italy, $4,000 tons of to-
matoes are conserved annually and
the residue, which until recently
was thrown away. now yields 900
tons of oil. Chemically this is
classed with cottonseed oil and it
will be used in soap-making and
other industries where that oil finds
uses. The extension of the tomato
oil industry will be largely at the
expense of the American cottonseed
oil trade.

Stat. of 1901.
"At least thirty days before a
general election the governor shall
issue proclamation, containing a
statement of the time of election
and the offices to be filled" Par.
2272, Rev. Stat. of 1901.
These provisions are certainly
clear and complete and are still in
force, unless repugnant to the Ari-
zona constitution. Let's see.
The executive department of the
State shall consist of Governor, Sec.
retary of State, State Auditor, State
Treasurer, Attorney-General, Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction,
each of whom shall hold his Office
for two years beginning on the first
Monday of January next after his
election, except that the terms of
office of those elected at the election
provided for in the Enabling Act
approved June 20, 1910, shall begin
when the State shall be admitted
into the Union, and shall end on
the first Monday in January. A. d.
1918, or when their successors are
elected and qualified. Sec. l, Art.
w, Const, of Arizona.
Sec. 3, Art. XII of the Arizona
Constitution enacts that the terms
of all county officers, except one
supervisor elected for the long term,
shall expire on the first Monday in
january. 1913. These constitutional
provisions are definite, imperative
and in complete harmony with the
two foregoing provisions that we
quote from the Revised Statutes of
1901, but it is claimed that the fol-.
lowing constitutional provision raises
a reasonable doubt"
There shall be general election
of Representatives. in Congress, and
of State, county and precinct officers
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November Of the first
even numbered year after the year
in which Arizona is admitted to
Statehood and biennially thereafter.
Sec. IL. Art. VII, Const. of Ariz.
This is a general and somewhat
vague provision, mere tautology
often added By lawyers, out of
abundance of caution; like a drag
net cast and pulled along behind the
first haul by fishermen to catch
slips" The Constitution was fin
ished December 8, 1910, and it was
the universal belief that Arizona
would be admitted in 1911, thus as
suring general election in. 1912.
But it was admitted in 1912. hence
the doubt.
If this Section II prohibits an
election this fall, an act of the pres
ent legislature requiring such elec-
ton would be unconstitutional and
hence void. If this section does
not prohibit an election this fall,
then such act Of legislation would
be superfluous, for it could add
nothing to the provisions of the
Revised Statutes of 1901 already
quoted above.
If our position is a sound one, it
is certainly the governors move.
