HOW HE EVOKED THE WINDS
Captain of Becaimed Vessel Was Driven to Desperate Sacrifice.
 But lt Succeeded.

The ship had lain becalmed in a tropical sea for three days. Not a breath of air stirred the mirror-like surface of the sea and the sails hung limp from the yards. like drapery carved from marble.
 The captain resolved to wait no longer for wind. He piped all hands on deck and requested all passengers to come forward.
 "I must ask all of you" he said. to give me eve-v match you have"
 Wondering 7, all obeyed. The cap tain collected every match on the ship in this manner. Then he threw them all oyerboard-all but one
 Then he took his pipe from his pocket and filled 1t with tobacco AZ crew and passengers looked breath lessly on, he struck that one match the only one aboard-and attempted to light his pipe with it
 Instantly a furious gale swept ovel the deck It extinguished the match but filled the sails and the good shiI plunged merrily forward on her course again The sacrifice had been awrul but successful

TUCSON ACTS
 ON VIOLENCE
Chamber of Commerce and City Officials Undertake to Check Strike
 Disturbances
NOTICE IS SERVED

TUCSON, Jan. lS.-To the end that assaults, beatings. the application of epithets, pistol-totins and the deprive ton Of Tucson of many thousands Of dollars earned here monthly may cease. the city administration and 1 the chamber of commerce will CO., operate in notifying the leaders of the striking federation of shop en- ployes that the time has arrived when all violence toward the men now employed in the Tucson shops of the Southern Pacific must come to al. end.
 This was the consensus of opinion at a conference between the directors of the chamber of coSnmerce and Mayor l. F. Huffman held in connec ton with the annual election Of chamber of commerce officers Tues. day night
 Claiming that violence was being committed against their new eu- ployes. very frequently, by the strike pickets. the officials of the South ern Pacific twice made application to the city administration for the pas sage Of an anti-picketing ordinance, but the petition was denied, the ad- ministration believing that no curb should be placed upon peacable pick eting, and that the police would pre- vent assaults and like violS7>S
 It is stated to have become appar- cnt. however. that the police have proven inadequate to protect the em- ployed shopmen, and that whereas the shop payroll is now as large or larger than it has ever been in Tue son before, only very small per centage of 1t reaches the trade chan nels of Tucson, but is spent in Los Angeles, for the reason that the em ployes hesitate to encounter danger by leaving the shop grounds unarmCd and are liable to arrest for carrying concealed weapons, if they allow the strikers to see that they have means for protecting themselves from bCd fly harm. It was stated at last nights meeting that practically all clothing and other supplies for tho Lew employees are being bought in Los Angeles or El Paso for that req. son, and that the men are sending their savings to their families else where. fearing to brlhs ttC.n to Tucson.
 The statement was also made that 20 families want transportation to Tucson, but that it is being withheld pending the settlement of the pres cnt difficulty.
 These statements having been dis cussed, the chamber of commerce di- rectors and Mayor Huffman agreed that not only will the city adminis tration notify the 10 or 12 men Oe lieved to be chiefly responsible for the disturbances that, in all friendli- ness to both sides of the strike, vio lence must cease and the new eln ployes be uamOlested, but that the business men of Tucson who are not the least sufferers will also seek to impress the same fact upon the strikers.

MILLIONAIRE WHO REFUSED TO
 BE SENATOR OF UNITED STATES

RENO, New. Aug 17-From cowboy at $40 per month and found. to the possessor, at the age Of thirty-six, of fortune estimated at from ten to twelve millions, is the achievement Of George Wingheld. 1ncidently Wing field has just refused to accept a seat in the U. s. senate. rendered him by the governor of his state to bridge an interim Of several months. ID his polite note of declination Wingfield said that he felt he could be of more service to Nevada as a private citi zen than as a United States senator.
 Along in the early nineties he 1if- fered from some hundreds of othx knights of the range of his locality only in wearing his gun attached to a swiyel-ring hung from his belt. in- stead of using the regulation holster; and in that he did not spend quite all of his wages for saddles and hat bands.
 In 1903. when Tonopah was a crude mining camp, Wingfield rode in one day and tried to borrow s100 at the newly established bank. It chanced that George s. Nixon. later senator whose unexpired term Wingfeld has refused, was serving the bank as clerk. and listened to the application of the dusty plainsman. wingfield had some mining scheme which he wished to develop up to the selling out stage. Nixon laughed.
 The bank couldn't loan money on such an indefinite proposition" he said.
 Wingfield started to walk out, but was called back by Nixon. who, like all Neyadians. dearly loved a chance
 Gets The Money The bank funds cant be used foi such a purpose" he reiterated, but I'm willing to grubstake you person ally for a couple of months prospect l ing"
 It was quickly arranged, after the manner of ithe country, the grub. Stke being fixed at S20O Winfield must have found a buyer for his pros pect alright. for within a few weeks he again sought out Nixon and ten dered him s4,000 as his share of th5 | profits. Nixon suggested a banking 1 partnership, which was arranged and resulted in bringing a forum, to Nixon merely in the detail ot handling the subsequent financial transactions of the e1-cowboy. Within five years from the date O. the Tonopah episode, Wingfeld Va, \ rated a millionaire.
 The big opportunity came with the collapse of the GOldfeld Consolidated that reasure-troye which for a half dozen years had poured its goldeI streams of uncounted millions into the coifers of its owners.
 Straining every financial nery.
