Alarm at Bandits Activity Sends Refugees to
 Border Towns

The activity of laVless bandits in the Sonora country between Can anea and the Baylspe river has re suited in the coming of many reiu- gees from that country to Douglas. These refugees include MexIcaus, Americans and other foreigners, ac- cording to the report Of the immi- grafton office here, where q record is kept Of all those coming across tie line Of this Port of entry, says the Douglas International
 From those who arrived during the fast few days it seems that the lawless element nas no known con nection with any revolutionary or ganiZation, though the bandits are always ready 10 seize on any name 10 applaud as an excuse for their iagless acts.
 The reported battle between bandits and soldiers on Tuesday Is evidence that the authorities are nor wholly idle in trying to put down outlayTy in northern Sonora, but whether they will be able to suppress the bandits is q question that depends entirely on the meas ure Of loyalty that exists for the Madero government.
 One gentleman who arrived yes terday stated that while the Mexi- can people were patriotic and loved their country and hoped for it's de liyerance from further disturbance, many of them felt that they were without protection or q government that is able 10 cope with present conditions and on that account are making arrangements 10 get out of the country and away from danger.
 Among tho arrivals yesterday from the south was Chilaman with good sum of cash, which he 6erositeG in local bank and he will remain in Agua Prie,a, near the border line until such time as be regards 1t safe to return to Fronterss ard his business There is a bitter feeling throughout Mexi- co against tho Chinamen who have come into the country in great num- bers since they were debarred from the United States. Many of them hare thrived as a result of their en- srgy and close attention 10 business, but they are thoroughly alarmed now and it may be expected that they will all leave the country just ss fast as possible.

THE HOMELESS SUP RENE COURT.

The Arizona supreme court lacks sn abiding place. There is. it ia true. an apartment in the ca yitol build. iEc ul Phoenix, called the supreme co'ut room, but it has peycr teen uS,d ss one. 2: is the on,v defect In 'ha ad-nirlgle arrangement of :!e structure which is said to be the bes; in the United State1 ever constructed for as small a sum as sl30,Oo0.
 The so-calied supreme court room is situated on the second floor. ol the rotunda, and its narrow diner. sions are bitten into by segment of The large circle constituting the rotunda, so that it's limits are thus further circumscribed.
 On one side of the room ia an eleva tion where the members Of the court were expected by the architect to sit. But il is too high for a platform or rosiram. partaking more Of tho character of d mezzanine fioor,-that is, it might te called mezzanine hosr if il had larger area, but as it is, il is hardly moie than A shelf
 When the room was completed and the justices saw it. they decided that they would occupy the floor of the cubby hole and let the laNyers and spectators, who had less dignity to sustain, perch on the shelf Later, the court concluded not to occupy tho room at all. A part of the time it has been used as closet or storage room. but latterly it has held the desE Of the adjutant general who kept his real office down town so that he would have room to yawn and stretch his arms and legs when overcome by wearlness consequent upon the dis charge Of his arduous official duties.
 The original plans of the capitol building provided for a west extension from the center Of the building in which the legislative chambers were to be located. The halls are already too small. especially the chamber of the house of representatives so ,hIt 1t is likely that the building an extension at an early date will be urged.

SUGAR AND
 SILK STOCKINGS.

We have the utmost confidence n NIT. Underwood's ways and means committee. We believe that 1t is it's wish and purpose to remove as far as possible the iniqrities of our pres ent tariff system which is generally iniauitous. But. wc believe that the committee should think. the second time at least. before attempting to re gaove the incquities as well as the iniquities Of the tariff by the process os rcbbing Peter to pay Paul
 Now comes 3 proposition to put sugar on the free list. resulting in 2 loss to the government of revenues amounting to sso.oCg.ooO. The prop osition IS a good one. The govern trent can more easily stand the loss than many poor families 10 whom sugar is a necessity. can afford to pay their share of the revenue. So tir' the committee has our sympathy and encouragement.
 But we cannot encourage and sym pahtize with inc committee in it's further purpose 10 keep the revenues of the government intact by sadd'ins the governments loss upon the ladies who wear silk stockings. Tie propos- al is not only angallant but also un just.
 We are willing to believe that 'he latter proposal had it's origin ID thoughtlessness or lack Of inforna ton.

 this morning The impression was one of unutterable gloom and I went away feeling sadder than I ever did before. At first glance it would ap- pear as though all of the members were paying for something on the in- stallment plan or were living next to families who operate phonographs or have daughters taking singing les sons The supreme court must cer- tainly he nursing a secret sorrow. 1t Coes not seem possible that any man can be as sad as those men look
 There are a good many humorous things about the supreme court, in cluding Mir. Justice Hughes whiskers, which might appeal to one with a sense of the ludricrous. but life there is real. and life is earnest and the man who smiles is lost. There is a tradition to the effect that a man sui fering rom influenza happened to sneeZe quite recently one day while the court was sitting, and that he is still serving time in one Of the fed eral prisons for the ofense.
 The matter of correct attire cuts quite a figure in this court. The at- torneys are expected to wear black ties and black frock coats. Of course they are expected to wear several other things that need not be mention ed in th.s chronicle, but they must at least Lave the black ties and the frOck coats. When l went into the courtroom after passing the prelimin- ary examination, during which l told of the facts concerning myself which are recorded on the fly leaf of an old family bible at home, l could almost see the official at the door trying to read the inmost secrets of my soul. Loud clothes are not popular there. The young gentleman ahead ot ne looked suspicious. lis necktie WAS of lavender tint.

 Inside it was as silent as a church just after the minister has asked somebody to start a subscription list by volunteering to give $100.

One could have heard a feather drop into a bowl of mush and milk. did not dare to sit oros9- legged for fear of exposing a pair of green socks that l got for Christ mas

THE WHALEMAN'S MEMORIAL

Hawaii in general-Honolulu and
Lahaina in particular-will be inter
ested in learning that the almost van
ishing whaleman of New Bedford is
to have his memory perpetuated by a
worthy monument in that city. The
whaling industry YVES for a period, Just
before the fruition of the sugar indus
try, the backbone and mainstay of
Hawaiian Islands prosperity, the great
fleets of staunch whaling ships com
ing to Honolulu and Lahaina to buy
supplies and render the oil and ship
the oil and bone home to New Bed
ford.
The following letter is printed in a
late issue of the Republican Stand
ard, of New Bedford:
New Bedford, Feb. 8, 1912.
Hon. Charles s. Ashley, Mayor, New
Bedford, Mass.
My Dear Sir: | desire subject to
your approval, to make arrangements
for a memorial in honor of the whale
men whose skill, hardihood and daring
brought fame and fortune to New Bed
ford and made its name known in
every, seaport on the globe; and to
be privileged to present it to the City
of New Bedford as a tribute to the
citizenship which have so long en-
ioyed.
For this purpose ! have asked Mr..
Bella l., Pratt of Boston, to design a
model of a bronze figure of a boat
steerer throwing a harpoon from the
bow of a whaleboat. The sketch model
has been prepared and shows the
character of the work proposed. My
wish is that this memorial be placed
on the ground by the Public Library,
and the model has been designed with
that location in view.
If it meets with your approval |
suggest that you refer the considera-
ton of this offer on my part to the
trustees of the Free Public Library.
If the matter meets with the approval
OF the trustees I will venture TO pro
coed with the work, which when com
pleted shall desire to present for
the acceptance Of the city council OF
New Bedford
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM w. CRAPO.
