The public school commission, which
was recently appointed to look into the
school conditions in the city of Pensa-
cola and try to devise ways and means
for improving those conditions, met
yesterday in the rooms of the Com
mercial Association and organized for
work.
P. K Yonge was elected chairman
and Frank L. Mayes secretary. Mrs.
Jno. c. Avery, Rev. John H. Brown,
Henry Jeudevine, and Chairman F. E.
Brawner of the school board were
present, Prof. w. S. CawtAon, who is
now in Wisconsin, being the only abb
sent member.
On motion, committee Of two COM
posed Of Messrs. Brown and Mayes
was appointed to ascertain the imme-
date needs of the city school build
ings in the matters of repair and sani-
tation, and also the matter of employ
ing a supervising janitor whose duty
it shall be to see that the buildings
are kept in proper repair and proper
sanitary condition, an estimate Of the
cost in the two matters to be made a
part of the report.
Another committee composed Of Prof.
Cawthon, Mr.. Yonge, and Mr.. Jeude-
vine was, on motion, appointed to in
vestigate methods and results in other
cities as to medical examination of
pupils and the matter Of vocational in
struction.
A Letter was received from Miss The
resa Jacoby, secretary of the city
Teachers Association, containing a
resolution which pledged the co-opera-
ton of the association to the school
commission.
The school conditions In Pensacola
were discussed Informally at some
length, it being the general sentiment
that more money would somehow have
to be provided before the schools could
be greatly improved. 1t will be the
purpose of the commission to ascertain
and present to the public, in as con-
crete form as possible, some Of the
principal needs Of the schools with an
estimate of the money necessary for
relief, and a plan for providing the
funds will then be taken up.

tunities are unlimited.
Mr.. Hardy informed a representative
Of The Journal yesterday that it was
his plan to erect plant not to cost
more than 81 900 and to organize 2
stock company for this purpose. He
said that he had already secured sub
scriptions for stock to the amount OF
$500 and he anticipates no trouble in
securing the remaining subscriptions
tonight
The plan Is to divide the stock into
200 shares. the shares being valued al
IS each, which viii enable the small
farmer to secure stock, as well as the
larger ones.
Interest in the subject in this CON-
munity is at fever heat and Mr. Hardy
said that a day or two ago he men
toned the proposition to q farmer and
asked him if he would subscribe for
some stock the farmer replying i'm
mediately that he would take twenty
shares.
Mr.. Hardy believes the factory will
be one Of the best paying investments
to be found anywhere. As he said
yesterday. I can feed my family on

ming stuff

COTTON FIELDS AT
 MESA ARE IN BLOOM

MESA, July 9-As far as can now be judged the cotton crop of the Mesa section will be more than SatiS- factory to the enterprising gentlemen who have put in their time and mon- ey to demonstrate the feasibility of growing cotton in the Mesa section. Every field shows up satisfactorily old time cotton men declaring that they never saw a finer growth in any part ot the southern cotton belt.The Hall brothers, at Hehi, O. c. Bullick, M. P. Holladay and others have fine stands in their fields. That at the Bullock ranch is much of it in bloom and some of the bollS are far enough advanced to show the seeds covered with the young growth of cotton. If the experiment should prove to be what is now expected, no doubt there will be many hundred acres planted to cotton next season in this section of the valley.
 A meeting of the members of the corporation organized to handle the ginning proposition was. to have been held yesterday afternoon but owing to the absence of some of the men, it was necessary to postpone proceed ings until Monday.

Spaulding, who also passed the examinations at that time MT Lowdermilk was giv- en the appointment which was to come in 1913.

GIFT FOR PIONEER HOME.

The Arizona Pioneer Home located at Prescott in Yavapai county has been made the legatee of the late William c. Parsons in sum of mon ey variously estimated at from $20.- 900 to $60,000. The actually describ- ed amount of the devise is compre- hended in the clause of the will and T direct that a further two-twelfths of the remainder be given to the Pio- neeer Home of Arizona" This is after all the debts and encumbranceS of the estate have been satisfied.
 Numbers of old timers in Arizona will well remember William c. Par sons, who used to live in Prescott in the days the capita Twas located in that city. They will remember the quiet, unassuming miner who was one of the chief owners of the fabulously rich McCabe mine. This is the man who has remembered the scene of his early triumphS and provided in his will for the home of those in Arizona who strove for her early prosperity when he was himself striving, but who were not so variously successful as was he.
 Mir. Parsons died sometime early in 1911. He had not lived in Prescott for some time, spending most of his time on the Pacific coast. The money he made in the McCabe mine in the early days he invested until he had property in California, Oregon, Wash ington, Cuba and in Phoenix, and his personal estate was valued at over four millions of dollors.
 In consequence of some trouble in connection with the settlement of the estate, and in order to see that the Pioneer Home will receive that DOT ton which under the terms of the will belongs to it, Attorney General Geor- ge Purdy Bullard will make a trip to San Francisco to appear before the probate court there in behalf of the state of Arizona and the Pioneer home.

SIXTY SIX WOUNDS FUR F YEAR
 OLD GIRL

NEW YORK, July S-Julia Corners, d uweiy e-year-old girl, was murdered ir q fendiSh maImer fc .Iy. Her body, bearing 66 wounds, evidently made by stilletto, but still retaining breath of life, was found in a va cant toilet in the Bronx The child died without having regained enough consciousness to identify her slayer with more than the explanation that he was "a man.
 The girl was one of four children of Edward Connors, a shipping clerk who lived nearby. She visited Cro- tonia Park, but suddenly disappeared. A boy friend found the body early to- day wrapped in a torn skirt. The hair had been cut off. One of the wounds was a stab in the heart. Her throat was also partly cut and a stab in the back had pierced the lungs.
 Later tonight the police said they had definitely established the fact that the attack on the girl was made in a vacant apartment on the second floor of a house beside the lot inwhicn she was found. Evidence in the bath room of the apartment leads the po- lice to believe that the girl was mur- dered there. The bath tub was blood-stained and on the floor were found quantities of the girls hair.
