AN IMPORTANT
COTTON DECISION

Fort Smith, Oct. 24.-Cotton pur-
chased outside the Fort Smith district
and brought to Fort Smith to be COM
pressed while it is en- route to it's des-
tination, whether that be in the Unit
ed States OF some foreign country, is
taxable, according to an important de-
cision rendered by County Judge Harp
today.
The case was brought up by the
Lesser-Goldman Cotton Company of
ST. Louis, which protested against
taxation on 2,192 bales of cotton at the
local compress. The company con-
tended that the cotton was an inter
state shipment and could not be taxed.
The court decision will be appealed.

WARREN CAMP LIFE

John Bell and John C.Colf. privates in Company D. Fourth Y. s. Cavalry, left their camping place at Warren last Saturday evening. They were Seen to board an eastbound train and Deputy Sheriff Harris. of Doug. las. was notified to stop them there This was done, and both men have since been in jail. waiting for their superior officers to decide whether they shall be charged with desertion or merely with leaving their troop without permission.
 According to army regulations. no man is a deserter in the strict inter pretation Of the term unless he has been absent from his command for ten days. His name is then stricken from the roll and he is considered to have deserted. It is considered cert ain that it was the intention of both men to desert. as they had sold prac tically all of their a,coutrements.

FLY SWATTERS STACK RESULTS
 OF DAYS WORK
40,500 Dead Ones Turned in Wednesday; Earl Lewis Adds Materially to His
 Total

Yesterday was the lightest day since the fly-swatting crusade was started in the district. A call at Bal and Bledsoe's pharmacy at one o'clock yesterday found but three had turned in reports and for once the committee found the count an easy matter The total for the day was only 4O,50O and one contestant. Earl Lewis had three quarters of these and remains in sec ond place but is closer to the leader, his total being now 1S9.700. The other two who sent in their days catch were George Richards and Ril- Ia Wacek who had respectively 5000 and 5.100. This brings Richards ID step in the ladder with a total of S3.5OO, he passing Raymond Waters and leaving him only 1 100 behind for fourth place Rilla Wacek passes Fred Stone and Arthur Oieda and now is eighth with total of 21.600,
 Though the results of yesterday were somewhat disappointing the mil lion mark has been passed lt may be that the crusaders did not expect a report today and will turn in larg. CT scores tomorrow in consequence. A gain of SO.OOO by many of the con testants would put them far higher in the list than they are now and they should remember that there are still many days when it is possible for them to make such gains.
 If the contestants will devise ways and means to get friends to help. will use their heads as we'll as their fly swatters they will find that their scores will leap up rapidly. There are many places in the city where they could make big scores by a little work and a little more thought
 The three leaders know how to do this and others can do as well if they pursue similar methods.

TRICKS ALADDIN LAWN PARTY

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 1.-The "billion-dollar lawn party" which Henry C. Prick, the steel magnate, is to give at his Prides Crossing estate on Friday night of this week, promis- es to establish a new high-water mark for lavish entertainment among the North Shore colony, whose summer residents include many of the veal thiest and most prominent families in all sections of the country. Except ing President Taft, every man present will be a millionaire. and the entire affair will be conducted on a scale Of magnificence calculated to make the old New Englanders gasp with won- der.
 A Nahant contracting firm has sign ed contract which obliges them to lay a smooth and perfect dancing floor on the Prick lawn between the hours of [ and on Friday evening and to take it up again between the hours of 1 and 3 on the following morning. This contract is typical of all the arrangements that have been made for the fete. It is Mir. Tricks s intention that his lawn shall present its usually orderly and well-kept ap- pearance at dark on Friday evening and again at daybreak on Saturday morning. but for the four hours be- tween D. m. and a. m. it will be transformed into 8 fairy land. t is said that the party will represent the largest gathering of millionaires ever assembled at one time in this or any other country.

Fl PASO ID FAIR ROAD BOOSTERS
 GETTING BUSY
Leaders Will Ttake Proposi- ton Up with Towns Along the Proposed
 Route

Like Banquo's ghost the subject Of road race from Fl Paso to the
 Phoenix fair will not down. The pro-
 ject wakens increasing interest in this city. and there is being manifest cd more and more an inclination to follow up the suggestion that was made by E. p. Grindell. secretary of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce The project now is to take the mat ter up with the various towns and learn how much can be raised in each along the route. and to add to such amounts those that have been offered by the fair commission for the towns of Tucson, Bisbee and Doug las. provided the commission will not put up the whole amount, as has been asked The commission. accord. ing to the expression of J. R. Tender son hardly considers this feasible un- der the circumstances. for fear of arousing jealousy from other Arizona cities.
 Fair Commissioner Henderson states that the commission has offered prizes of S200 for races from Bisbee, Douglas and Tucson. and that these cities may make their rules and regu- lations. The latest plan is to put these sums into one fund as nB- Cleus for the prize money for the pro posed Fl Paso-Phoenix race If no more can be obtained from the fair commission. the remaining S1,400 would have tc be raised along the route.
 pr. N. c. Bledsoe and J. J. Bowen are ready to start a subscription list in this district with S25 each if this pro- iect shall be taken up. They believe that Pisbee could easily raise her pro portion and the matter will be taken up with Douglas and Tucson. It is thought there would be no objection to this plan from the board, but 1t would likely have to be taken up with that body and receive its sanction.
 For the race from Los Angeles to Phoenix the fair commission is lib- eral. This race is of especial inter est to cities outside of the state. in California, and of little or no interest to people within the state. since the route passesthrough Yumaalone of the. important cities and towns. But an Fl Paso-Phoenix race is a different matter. The route would touch the three important cities Of Douglass Bisbee and Tucson. as we'll as Flor ence. in this state. several towns in New Mexico and would also interest Fl Paso
 While it would not draw from so large an outside population as does the California race, in between it is far more important in attarcting in terest to the fair The matter will be taken up with the other cities.

COCHISE FAVORS
 TOVREA FOR THE
 ELECTORAL TICKET
Petitions Being Circulated in Interests of Lowell Demo- crat for Presidential
 Chooser

Cochise County is not to be left otf the democratic electoral ticket # democrats hereabouts have their way for yesterday petitions were circulat- cd for the nomination of F.. A. Tow req Of Lowell His friends had at length prevailed upon him to allow his name to be used, to re-enter as candidate since it was assured that J. s. Douglas, in whose favor he had sought 10 withdraw. would. under no circumstances enter the contest. And so a stalwart democrat from democrat. ic Lowell will be before the people.
 It is not difficult to get the requi- site number of votes in a county and while it will require some rapid work to get all of the petitions circulated and closed before August %, the last day for filing this is quite possible and will undoubtedly be accomplished once the friends of Mir Tovrea get busy
 Besides F. A. Tovrea there are at least three others in the field. These are John R. Hampton, Leander Gas sidy and Tim Riordan. Hampton being the latest or these to announce him. self. He is presumably a representa- live of the south since he comes from Greenlee although that might better be termed the easterly end of the state. This would put four names on the ticket at the primary with selection of three to be made.
 Another petition that was being circulated in Bisbee yesterday was that of Carl Hayden, to whose renom- inatiOn no opposition is anticipated
