GLEASON WIPED OUT BY INCENDIARY
 CONFEDERATION

Douglas, June 5-The business part of the town of Gleeson was practical- ly wiped out by fire at an early hour ness houses were burned with other buildings, from what is known as the Big Stope" to the sandwash. The heaviest loser WAS B. A. Taylor. His store with it's entire contents, was a total loss and is estimated at s5O,000. MT. Taylor had no insur- ance, as insurance companies do nor take any risk in Gleeson for the req son that there is no water works or any means of fire protection there.
 Two stores, owned by Slavonians, were burned, one being the property las and connected with the Shays store at the corner of Thirteenth and G.
 The only store left in Gleeson was the one owned by Ross Griffith, Of Pearce.
 The fire was inceniary and it is reported that a Mexican, who started it was caught in the act of starting a second fire after the first blaze had attracted attention. The MeXi can is under arrest and will be held for preliminary examination.
 No estimate could be obtained to- day of the probable total loss, further than the estimated stock carried by MT. Taylor. The telephone wires connecting Gleeson with Douglas was put out of commission by the fire and repairs had not been made up to 3 o'clock this afternoon

BRYAN ENTHUSIASM FILLS THE AIR
 IN THE EAST
Phoenix Man Returns From Louis vile. Kentucky, and Says Great. :.
 cofnmoner Will Be Nominee.

Phoenix, June 2, 9th. .-" It fills the atmosphere-that w. J.. Bryan will be the next president" said Professor D. F. .tJantzen, principal of the Os borne school, this morning upon his return from Louisville, Ky, where he has been attending Presbyterian conference.
 Wherever he is mentioned there is a feeling of contentment, sense of calm. You could hear it during the intervals between the sessions and on the Streets everywhere-it seemed to fill all space.
 While the conference was in ses- the big auditorium, and he took as his subject, Making of man.
 "The people of Louisville listened as one man. There was satisfac- ton which was most gratifying The atmosphere was filled with his pres ence-
 .aThe people there think that Roose. welt and Taft are killing each other. Everyone is disgusted with their bickerings and puerile actions. In contrast they point out the big, m is- terful, yet restful and doiinating per sonality of MT. Bryan.
 He has been sixteen years prepar ing for the presidency. He has rounded out his ideas and changed several. and the people are waiting and ready for him.
 Later went to Colorado Springs, and while they have had their prim- ary there is a feeling among the peo- pie that none of the men mentioned will receive two-thirds vote. There also they are talking of Bryan for president. 7
 @ h Lozlssville, Mr. Jentzen declared the people do not expect Clark to carry the. solid south for the nomina- tion, but that there is a strong un- dercurrent which speaks the name of William Jennings B-van for president everywhere.

REFRIGERATOR GAR. FROM FL PAS0
 ID CLIFTON
Quick Service Beginning on June 12.

Fl Paso, june 6.-Beginning We'd nesday, June 12, the Fl Paso & South western railroad company will operate on Wednesday of each week less car-lot refrigerator service to the Douglas Bisbee district from Fl Paso.
 Commencing on the same date an other car will be forwarded contain ing freight for points on the Arizona & New Mexico and .Morenci Southern railways. These cars will be- for warded on the Drunmers' special at o'clock in the evening, reaching the Douglas-Bisbee district the fo;- lowing forenoon, Lordsburg at g am. and Clifton and Morenci on the even ing of the day after forwarding.
 Several months ago the Chamber of Commerce requested the railways which have inaugurated this service to favor Ell Paso with such a sched- ule. and after thorough investigation by the representatives of the car riers, the scheme was looked on with favor A. N Brown, traffic mana ger of the southwestern system ,and A. T.. Thomson. traffic manager of the Arizona & New Mexico railway reached this city yesterday morning and after receiving the report of the officials of the Southwestern traffic department, it was decided to insti- ute the service at once.
 This less-car-lot refrigeration ser v;oa ;c an innovat;on so for as tho city of Ell Paso is concerned. While such service has been in force from points in the north to Fl Paso via the Santa Fe, the Rock Island South western, the shippers of Fl Paso have never been accorded the benefit of such service If this move proves to be wise one from a revenue stand point, and the tonnage handled in dicates that additional service wiI prove profitable to the carriers, this may later be changed to semi-week- ly schedule.
 The inauguration of this service, which is bound to greatly benefit the shipping interests ~f this city, is iE line with the policy of the manage ment of the Southwestern system and Arizona & New Mexico railway to al- ford the business interests of Fl Paso every facility for the expedi- tious and satisfactory handling of their traffic. This refrigeration scr, vice together with the regardless-of quantity merchandise service insti- tuted some months ago to the districts fected the merchandise service to those sections.

and J. McK. Redmond for the Roose- welt faction Then the temporary or ganization was made permanent and while every delegate and alter nate in the hall shouted the chaiffifeh of both factions did business.T make it still more interesting the band, which was stationed with the Taft delegates, began playing and they could not be stopped. They were paid to play and, they played.
 T. D. Molloy, chairman of the Roosevelt faction, had the best of it in the roar and din. He didn't need to hear what any man said He knew what they were to say and thev knew he knew. They had been trained the night before and knew their parts like troop of actors. The roll was called by counties, commit tees appointed and reported, the re- ports were placed before the conven- tion and adopted with hubbub and din so great that it was impossible to hear single word. When the work was completed they went away.
 Taft Men Handicapped.
 The Taft faction was handicapped. They did not know what to look for but were expecting strong arm work on the part of the Rooseelt fac ton. They did not look for check in the real game of politics and be fore they could interpose a piece they were checked. They didn't have things cut and dried and they were disaD- pointed and frustrated at the turn of affairs. They couldn't do any real business until after the Roosevelt men had left the hall, and then many Of them believed the Roosevelt faction had bolted and was going to some other place to hold a convention. They couldn't realize that the Roosevelt men had worked through an entire conE ention, down to the naming of alternates, and had adjourned in reg rlar order during all the noise and turmoil. If the Roosevelt men had made some attempt to rush the Taft men off the stage, and that is what the Taft men did expect, the Roose welt men would have got the worst Of it, for the Taft men were prepared for such tactics
 No Unit Rule
 When the Roosevelt men had gone then the Taft men got down to bu ;i- ness and things began to move just as they always do in convention. They made speeches telling how they stood politically and denouncing the Roosevelt faction as bolters and non They almost got into a split over the adoption of the resolu- tions which were first adopted in structing the six delegates to Chicago to vote for Taft all the time and as a unit Then the row started on the question of unit rule" and the de- bate was long and loud.
 Two Sets of Resolutions.
 Roosevelt faction resolutions: Re it resolved by the Republicans of Ari- zona, in their first state convention assembled, this third day of June, 1912, that six delegates and thei.. appointed by them to at tend the national convention of the party, called to be held at Chicago, on June IS, 1912,be and they are hereby instructed and directed to use every honorable and fair effort to secure the nomination at such con
