, FRITZ SCHEFF

New York, Sept 23,-With the con-
firmation of the rumor that FRITZ
Scheff, the popular musical comedy
star, has separated from her novelist
hilosopher-husband, John Fox, Jr,
and is contemplating suit for separa-
ton against him on the ground of aban
donment. there is evidenced again the
melancholy failure of another sincere
attempt to reconcile the gay, facinat-
ing life of the theatre with the quiet
and monotony--no matter how grace
full and how happy--of the family fire
side. II is said that the charming lit
tie prima donna, who has captivated
more than one heart, still loving her
husband, who is several years older

theatre so dear to her

Charleston, W. Va. Sept. 24.--All

No Jurisdiction.
Holding the matter to be outside

District Court, Judge Benjamin +.
Keller yesterday refused to act upon
the application of James T. Alers fer
writ of habeas corpus.
Akers, a Baldwin-Felts detectiye,
was sentenced TO Cabell county jail
by the military commission created
under the proclamation of martial
law on Paint Creek In the West Nir-
ginia strike district. He was accused
Of carrying pistol The application

Oppose Military Court.
The attorney for the imprisoned
mine guards is acting under the opin-
ion that the Governor has no right to
create a military commission to try
and punish offences cognizable by
the criminal courts of the state He
holds that Akers has been deprived of
liberty without due process of law.
He further declares that the military
commission exceeded any power
which it might have in the Akers case
by trying him for an act committed
before the commission was created
Judge Keller did not go into the
merits of the cases, simply deciding
that he had no jurisdiction and return
ing the papers TO Judge Sanders.
If the writ for which Judge San
ders is to apply to the Supreme Court
is granted, other suits will be filed
Immediately and the results will be
the release of all the many prisoners
sent up by the military commission
and the destruction of the efficiency
of the martial government in the

ASSOCIATED TRADE BOARDS
 FOR OCEAN 10 OCEAN ROAD
Arizona Good Roads Make Propagan- da For Route Part of Com
 ing Program.

The OceOn- to- Ocean highway was indorsed strongly by the associated boards of trade of Maricopa county, at their last regular meeting in Glen dale Friday. The members made it plain they would support the road project heartily. It was moved to place the auto association back of the highway boosters and let other di- visions know that Arizona would hold up her end of the scheme.
 The Arizona good roads association was asked to make it part of the com ing program to support the Ocean to- Ocean highway. Plans were discussed touching the methods best to be used for preparing the Arizona roads for the winter seasons touring.
 The matter of an exhibit at the Grand Canyon of Salt river valley products was taken up, and the sug- gestion was also made that pictures and exhibits on trains and in waiting rooms would be a good stunt.
 After the business of the meeting was over, the members were fed. Any thing to eat is something of an in novation at meetings of the associated boards of trade. and the lunch was ap- preciated. The next meeting will Oc- cur in Phoenix on November 9.

JOHN ?. ORhE
 |S PRESIDENT
President of Local Water Users Honored at Salt Lake by Being Elected as Head of New Federation of Irrigationists

Word has Teen received from Presi- dent John P Orme of the Salt River valley water users association that an organization has been perfected in the federated water users associations at Salt Lake City and that the work in hand is progressing nicely. As repre- sentative of this local project. MT. Or me left several days ago to help in the formation of a body of water users, whose work shall extend over all the nation. MT. Orme was elected chair man at the first meeting.
 As this is the biggest project in all America, the honor is no more than due Mir Orme yet it is sufficiently flattering that he should be chosen from all the representatives of the sev- enteen projects having delegates at the meeting. MT. Orme is also chairman of the publicity committee.
 Articles of organization have been adopted. The constitution and by laws are particularly comprehensive. They set forth the purpose of the organiza tiOn as follows: To secure coopeTa tion and unity among the members, to promote harmony among and the wei
 
 the interpretation and application of the irrigation laws and such acts as may effect reclamation and to propose at fit times, legislative action, such as may be deemed needed. The work of | administering projects and the diff cultes that meet the governors will be l discussed at each annual meeting, and l the findings of the body placed in operation to test their usefulness Pa pers and speeches will be made on ques- tions of moment, and the education thus gained from conferring and arg uing will be to better the condition of
 the irrigation projects in the United | States.
 Beside this the federation will keep in touch with the national irrigation
 congress and other similar bodies and
 with foreign and American engineers
 In this way the information at hand will be gathered ad placed at the use
 of all the administrators of projects

earth. They are not aware of the fact that but a few miles from the greatest natural wonder in the world is the greatest artificial wonder in the world.
 There IS another thing that strikes me in favor of such an exhibition. Thousands of tourists visit the Grand Canyon every year. many of these people come west in the first place to look about them with a view to locating Many of them think that any place where oranges are raised must be the most glorious place to live under the sun, many others of them are well to do farmers, who. if they were apprised of the farm ing possibilities of this section would seek this place for a home l be- lieve further that an exhibit would be the means of bringing still more tourists to the Salt River valley in the winter time.
 Tn my recent trip to the north and east 1 found the surest way to attract the attention of the people to this valley was to tell them about the oranges we raise down here. could talk about six crops of alfalfa lettuce heads that weigh three pounds, two crops of grain in year and all those sort of things with out getting much more than the wink of an eyelash, but as soon as 1 mentioned oranges, interested be- gan to pick up and could get an au- dience immediately.
 Another thing that seems to strike the people of the farming states who travel west in the winter time, is that there can be an oasis dOwr here, after they have traversed sucf expanses of dry dusty desert. They
 scarcely believe the statements made
 about the Salt River valley. An ex hibit at the Grand Canyon setting forth in concrete shape what is ac tually raised here, would aid in tn upbuiIding of the valley I am sure.

AN EXHIBIT AT
 GRAND CANYON
Give Concrete Evidence of What Is Raised in Salt River Valley to Thous- ands of Tourists, Says c. NJ. Zander.

An exhibit at the Grand Canyon of the products of the Salt River valley. something that would place before the thousands of tourists who visit the great natural wonder every year, concrete demonstration of what is being done and what has been done in this valley under the blessings of irrigation, is advocated by Tax Commissioner c. NJ. Zander, who has just returned from months visit to the farming states of the middle west. There are thousands of farmers who would gladly leave that country for this new one if the proposition were put up to them properly. Thousands of them visit the Grand Canyon every year, and this is where Zander proposes to get them interested.
 T believe one of the surest and best ways to advertise the Salt Riv- CT valley said MT. Zander yester- day, would be to place a first class exhibit of the products of this sec tion at the Grand Canyon. There are many people who visit the Grand Canyon who do not realize that ii is so near to the garden spot of the
