WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-Presideni
Taft yesterday gave Congress his
opinion of the charge that he had beer
playing politics in the recent executive
order, putting thirty-six thousand
fourth-class postmasters under the
civil service The President made
the counter charge that his accusers

deeply regretted the failure of Con-
gress to pass legislation which prae-
ticaIy would destroy the "spoils sys-
tenn"
The message was read in the Sem

sent there. there being no session
there through lack of quorum.
"Critieism has been made of this
order on the ground that the motive
was political" said the President.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The order was made before

MRS. T. R. FERRALL
CALLED BY DEATH
PhiIanthropic Newark Woman
Succumbs to Injuries Received
in Car Accident in 1909.

The city is the poorer today by the
loss of Mrs. Eloise Russell Ferrall,
who died at her home, 80 South street,
yesterday. after an illness of two
weeks, the indirect result of serious
accident sustained in November, 1909,
in New York city.
Mrs. Ferrall was seriously stricken
last Friday night, and suffered
greatly until death released her
through heart failure.
In every section of the city are
those who have benefited by the kind
ness OF her heart and the liberality of
her purse. Mrs. Ferrall was chair
man of the finance committee of the
Job Haines Home for Aged People;
corresponding secretary of the board
of managers of the Home for Crippled
Children; a vice-president of the
Newark branch of the Needlework
Guild of America, and member of
the executive committee of Philitsci-
poma, one of the Oldest women's clubs
in the city.
Active in Musical Affairs.
Always has she been active in local
musical circles Up to the time of
her death Mrs. Ferrall was a member
of the Schubert Oratorio Society. For
years she was soprano soloist in St.
Lukes Methodist Episcopal Church
and the South Park Presbyterian
Church. In late years she sang in
the choir of the Peddie Memorial
Baptist Church. Mrs. Ferrall was a
graduate of the Newark High School
and of Miss Hunters training school
for kindergartners, in New York city,
and until her accident, three years
ago, was director of music in the
Newark Seminary, and an assistant
instructor in the College of Music.
In November, 1909, Mrs. FerTall
was crossing Madison avenue, New
York, in company with Cyrus Pyle,
an old family friend, when they were
hit and dragged by car. Mr.. Pyle
was killed. Mrs. Ferrall was bought
to her home in this city. and for more
than a year was confined to a re-
clining chair, unable to stand or to
lie down.
Specialists Gave Some Relief.
Specialists were brought in from all
parts of the country, and slowly she
improved, until she was able to go
about on crutches, and, though she
never got really WE'LL, she never
spared herself when there was an OPP
portun.ty to do something for others,
Long before she could leave her chair
Mrs. Ferrall had a phone installed
at her side, and there she used to
consult her committees and keep in
direct touch with the institutions SO
near to her heart.
At the Home for Crippled Children
and the Job Haines Home for Aged
People the inmates knew her well,
and used to watch for her coming. II
was her wish that they should never
be spoken of but as our family"
Mrs. Ferrall leaves her mother,
Mrs. William A. Russell, and two
brothers, Frederick c. Russell and
Louis Arthur Russell. president of
the College of Muse, all of whom live
at SO South street.

Gold Strike in the Allie.

The recent gold strike on the 25O- foot level of the Martha" vein, "Al- lie" Mining company, places Gilmore on the list at least several miles ahead of all competing camps in the state for honors in the yellow metal producing line, and it would appear that this property which is already shipping out three cars weekly from other work ings that nets 2S$ gold per ton, has an inexhaustible fund of gold, which is gradually coming to light through systematic development. Two years ago this paper had the honor of chronicling big gold find in the "Martha,' which find, subsequent workings have proven to be per manent to date.

Lien Law Drives
 Them Out of State.

After bitterly denouncing the action of the last Legislature as it applies to the notorious mine lien law now on the statute books, and openly con- demning the executive for approving the same, George Dennison, H. E. Brown and Louis Zinfell miners who arrived in Prescott Sunday afternoon from the northern part of Yuma county, stated that the effect of this iniquitous measure was already being experienced in that country.
 Speaking for the party, Mir. Dem nison said: We are only miners and prospectors. Under this infamous law we are practically driven from the field in hunting for mines, and after we have found one we cannot dispose of it for money or marbles. There is but one resourse open, to find a placer claim and to wash out the dust. Then we know where we are at. To our
Mohave County miner., 1912-08-03

knowledge, within the past month two transactions in the above county have been smashed, because the owners asked for what was only right. The prospective buyers did not believe in meeting the demand and the sales were declared accordingly off. To hold the mine responsible for any debt is an imposition that the poor owner or the struggling prospector will not face, and on the other hand the buyer will most assuredly get off the ground when any effort is made to have him acquiesce in any financial redress that may be imposed for operating or other expenses.
 The law works both ways, and the miner as well as the mine owner simply faces crisis. The former for the reason that he is distressed tinan- cially for tine, and the latter ulti mately is frozen out of his years of toll in bringing the claim in attractive rating. The law teens with double handed dirty work, to be committed in case it should be necessary for the cunning and unscupulous to resort to it. It is the worst blow the prospector and small mine owner ever faced, and It will result in practically abandon ing further effort to find properties or in having them operated until the Legislature is reconvened and repeals the law. The above miners and pros- pectors are en route to Nevada, where the field is more inviting and more wholesome laws await them.-Prescott Journal. Miner.
