AUTO L|CENCE TAG NO. l,OO0 IS ISSUED
Estimated About One Machine For Every Four Families in
 Phoenix. ..

That there is about one automobile or motorcycle to every twenty people in Phoenix is evident when it is taken into consideration that nearly 1000 license tags have been issued by City Assessor and Tax Collector Charles w Barnett In fact license tag No. 1000 has already made its appearance upon an automobile in this city. This tag was issued to the owner of the new autObus which will make regular trips between Phoenix and Tempe and Mesa.
 When the owner of this machine appeared at the office of MT. Barnett some days ago and stated that he desired to purchase a tag for his big machine, the current number at that time was 957 It was then that the applicant saw an opportunity to se- cure a distinctive number and he asked if it would be possible for him to buy tag No 1000. MT. Barnett ac commodated him and that is how Phoenix appears to have reached the thousand automobile mark
 Just how many automobiles there really are in Phoenix can probably not be determined The same tag is issued for motorcycles as is placed upon automobiles. Then it is quite likely that there are some machines out of commission, the tags of which are unused But figuring on a basis of five people to the average family, it seems safe to say that there is one automobile or motorcycle for eV- cry four families in this city.

CHIEF HADN'T HEART
 10 SHOOT "GYP"
Lone Canine in Dog Pound Escapes Death Under Unusual Circum-
 stances.

"Gyp" came near going to dog heaven the other day, but thanks to an unusual chain of circumstances he is still among the living. He owes his life to Chief of Police Moore, who ordinarily would have dispatched the canine And incidentally the sparing of the life of the little dog marked the close for the present season of the city dog pound and the sending out of the gun squad in search of rabies affected dogs.
 Away down on South Seventh street the city has a title crude sheet-iron structure in which all dogs captured by the dog catcher were formerly placed over night. The following morning an officer armed with a file would visit the pound and make quick work of the previous days catch.
 On the particular morning when Chief Moore found "Gyp" in the pound, the little dog was the sole oc- cupant of the deathhouse. There had been five. but three had managed to make their escape during the night, while fourth in attempting to get away had hung himself. The lone dog who had been unable to make 9 geta way .wagged his tail in a friendly way when the chief appeared.
 Just a minute later the rifle was rised to the chiefs shoulder, but there was no report. And then the gun dropped slowly from it's position and the chief exclaimed:
 q haven't got the heart to do it. He's as much entitled to his life as the other dogs and I'm going to let him go."
 And the little dog was bundled into the patrol wagon, taken back to the city hall plaza and given his liberty. He disappeared a minute later with wag of his tail which seemed to say thank you" to the chief.

WITH ROOSEVELT AT COLLEGE
The Square Deal Trait Manifested
 Itself in His Makeup Early.

The fundamental trait in Theodore RoCsevelt's character is an earnest sincerity; he had this in his youth and has it today. Fiat justitia ruat caelum Despite accusations of po- litical rivals the fact remains; a child, and as youth in college, eager in his acquisition of facts, ab- sOrbed in his studies of geology and zoology, he manifested the same love of reality which. later in life, crys- tallized in his demand for "a square deal" This demand is only the ap- plication. in the field of human con duct, of the principles which he ovinced in his study of the natural sciences.
 The first time I saw him was in the transept of Memorial Hall, at Harvard. where he was holding his own. in a group of four, in the dis cussion of some question of athletics.
 Little did he himself look the ath- Icte-panid, near sighted, thin chest ed, spindle legged; but, as we early found out. on the football field and in the sparring bouts, his frail body held an iron will Game he was to his last ounce of strength; a true sportsman always and when W, in the sparring contest struck hlm after time" had been called, and the crowd howled ir protest at the toul blow, Roosevelt. with nose bleeding shouted to the referee: Don't rule him out.

ANNEX HOTEL
 CHANGES HANDS
Henry Kahn, Who Owns the Building, Has Bought the Furnishings and Will Conduct the Business Hereafter.

Mrs. Josephine Barnes who has been conducting The Annex hotel for the last thirteen months, has sold the furniture and business to Harry C. Kahn, who owns the building, and who will conduct the hotel himself hereafter Mrs. Barnes is undecided as to whether she will establish an other business in Phoenix later but for the present expects to make her home with her father and mother, MT and Mrs. E. w. Miller who live on a farm northwest of the city.
 Mrs Barnes says she has worked hard and is well satisfied with the business success achieved in the con- duct of the Annex but desires to rest for a time and has taken advantage of a good opportunity to do so. She says the Annex has enjoyed a con- skantly growing patronage since she first took charge of it until a month cor so ago when there was a little summer dullness, but far less than she had anticipated. The house is again rapidly filling up and already reservations are being received for fair week She has no doubt that under Mr Rahn's management the Annex will continue to be one of the city's most popular hotels.
 Mrs. Barnes has had a quite sue cessful career in the establishing of three lodging houses and hotels here and has in each instance sold to ad
 vantage both to herself and the pur- chaser. for all have proved prosper ous She likes Phoenix and may de- eide to engage in business a little Iatpr for she is certain the com in Q winter will be the most prosperous the city has yet had, but for the present she has no mature plans

so HE PUT HITCHCOCK OUT
Even the Postmaster General Couldn't
 Board a Mail Car.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmas- ter general of the United States, takes the deepest interest in even the smallest details of the postal service One evening he was at the Union Station in Washington, when he de- cided to go into one of the railway mail service cars to see how the mail matter was being handled. Be ing tall man and very athletics, he easily swung himself from the plat form into the car, but he did not find it an easy matter to stay put. A burly postal clerk grabbed him by the shoulders, propelled him toward the side door, and practically ejected him to the platform below
 What do you mean by that?" asked Hitchcock indignantly.
 'I mean to keep you out of this car" replied the clerk roughly. That fellow Hitchcock has given us strict orders to keep all strangers out of these cars.'-Popular Magazine.

THE NEXT ARISTOCRAcY

Mere democracy cannot solve the social question. An element of aris- tocracy must be introduced into our life. Of course I do not mean the aristocracy of birth or of the purse or even the aristoeracy of intellect mean the aristocracy of character, of will. of mind.

.GOMPERS OPPOSED
FOR REELECTION
BY SOCIALISTS


NV Manning Jomrna' Special I.ascd Wire |
Rochester \. y, Nov. l3.-As fli
as the American Federation Of Labor
Is concerned. there is no such organi-
zaiion as the international Association
of Steam. Hot Water and Power Fit
tcrs and Helpers Of America.
This declaration was made today by
President Gompers before the conNcn
ton Of the federation ana the CON
vcntion upheld him when by a vote il
refused to seat delegates OF that ASSOC
citation.
The reason given by President Com
pers and the delegates who support
him is that United Association of
Journoymen Plumbers. Gas Filters ana
Steam Filters Helpers of America,
which is affiliated with The fedora
tion. takes in members of the steam
filters trade and it would bc contrary
to the federation principles TO recog
nlzc more than one international nn-
ion to a single trade.
Members of the radical wing of the
convention. which included nearly a
hundred socialists. say vigorous oppo-
sition win be made 10 the reelection
OF President Gompers and that if he
is chosen il will be his last term. So
cialists have been trying for years to
win the federation over to their prin-
ciples. but they have stumbled on the
opposition of President Gompers to di-
rect political action. The fight is
likely to come up next week. when
the question of referring the election
Of Officers TO referendum vote of
the members is to be taken up.
