GEORGE LANCE WON
 HIS CASE IN COURT
We'll Known Camp Verde Pioneer Beat Out the Forest Service in
 Legal Proceeding

George W. Hance of Camp Verde, than whom there is no better known pioneer in the state of Arizona, has returned home after spending cou- pie of days in Phoenix. During his stay here Mir Hance was puavtcred at the Adams. and being a true blue republican he was, as matter of course, one of MT. Adams guests at the Taft banquet the other night.
 IL was because of tilt with the forest service that MT. Hance was in Phoenix There was some sort of dispute over the right to graze cattle in a certain locality and the case finally got into the federal court But by the time the sturdy pioneer had told his story that was all there was to it, he won hands down IL was ap leasant bit of news to carry back to his neighbors.
 And right here let it be said that George Hance lived in Arizona in the days when neighbors were few and far between. He came to the CamI Verde country in 1S69, which is as long as some of us can remember almost. He settled on a homestead up there and he lives on that home stead yet And here is something of which he ought to be proud if he isn't-he helped organize the repub- lican party in Arizona.
 MT. Hance is familiar figure al all republican state conventions. He is always ready and willing to do his best for the party to which he bears such unswerving loyalty, and he vii he at the Tucson convention the third of next month. And he will be there to give the Taft cause q help ing hand.
 There are many people in Phoeni> who know Mir Hance. More thar that. they are proud to know him He is one of the men who helped carve a state out UT the wilderness And of all that number there was nc one who did his work better thar did the staunch pioneer of CamI Verde

NEW APOSTOLIC DELEGATE HERE

Archbishop BOnzanO, the new Cath oIic apostolic delegate to the Unite! States, has arrived in this country and within week will take up his resi- dence in Washington. Churches have a way of using proper names that in- ;1icate political relation, perhaps au- thority. There is a bishop of Chicago, and he so styles himself, but he has no political relation to Chicago as city, nor authority over any persons who do not voluntarily award him such power In the same sense Archbishop Bonzano is apostolic delegate 10 the Catholic church in the United States.
 The church in question has nine such apostolic delegates The other eight are Canada, Constantinople, Arabia,

BENEATH AUTO
REMARKABLY ESCAPE OF OCCU-
PANTS ON MIDLOTHIAN
TURNPIKE.
MON YA.-snecia1

R I c II MON d, VA.-Special.-
Sunday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs w.
M. Crawford and c. w. Gregory, of
Woodland Heights, narrowly escaped
death when an automobile in which
they were riding was overturned on
the Midlothian Turnpike, catching
them underAeath il. They crawled
from under the auto saturated with
gasoline, bat without scratch. The
driver of the machine. who was also
the owner, received a slight cut on
the cheek.
Mrs. Crawford's arm was caught
under the machine. which was lifted
in order to release il.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford. accom-
panied by Mr.. Gregory, had taken a
stroll down the pike and were on
their way home when they were over
taken by an automobile bound in the
same direction. The snow on the
pike had gotten about an inch thick
and walking was very difficult. The
driver of the car seeing them on the
road. invited them TO get in the car.
AS the weather was very disagree
able. they accepted his invitation with
thanks.
They had gone only q short dis
lance when the car began to slide on
the snow, and before the driver could
get his machine under control IT
plunged into the embankment along
side the turnpike. The machine was
thrown completely upside down, with
all four wheels in the air.
The four occupants of the machine
found themselves imprisoned under
its body with gasoline pouring over
them and soaking their clothing. Ex-
citedly comparing notes, they found
that neither OF the four was injured
beyond a slight cut on the cheek of
the driver. The escape was remark
able. as even when bones are not
broken or internal injuries sustained
fire in such accidents is ordinarily a
feature. and had il occurred in this
case the results can be imagined.
The top of the car was crushed level
with the seats. while the seats them
selves were thoroughly demolished.
The auto was a complete wreck.

STRIKE SITUATION
Is GROWING WORSE

LAWRENCE, MASS, Special
Three men today made an attempt 10
assassinate James p. Thompson, gen
eral organizer of the Industrial Work
ers of the World. in his room at 246
Lowell Street. striking him several
times in the face and cutting his head
open with blow from a blackjack.
One shot was fired at close quar-
ters, barely missing him. The three
men ran away. after Thompson had
escaped in his night clothes into the
street.
Thompson was awakened by a rap
on the door and opened IL. The three
men pushed him into the room.
one struck me a blow with his
fist" said Thompson. "I grappled
with him. Then a crushing blow on
the back of my head dazed me. l
was dizzy. but managed to hold on.
Then shot came. 1t sounded as
though it were fired right at my ear.
1 made an effort and broke away, then
ran in my night clothes down the
stairs and out into the street"
Every available policeman was on
the street at daylight today in antici-
patton of desperate efforts by strike
pickets to prevent the expected rush
back to the mills.
Two men were arrested in small
riots Searched at the police station
one was found to have a razor in his
pocket. and another had the side
pockets of his coat filled with pepper
A report was received by the police
that small bottles of vitrol had been
distributed to many of the strike pick
cts, and the officers were alert to de-
tect any sign of the acid.
In spite Of the efforts OF the strike
pickets, however. the numbers who
went back to the mills today was
greater than any day last week.
The streets were black with people,
and street cars were damned with
the workers on their way to the mills
Appearances indicated that the s per
cent. offer made by the millmen had
served to break the backbone OF the
strike.
The strike committee was planning
today to send several women. showing
scars made by the alleged clubbing
tactics OF policemen and militia, to
Washington. They are to appear be-
fore the congressional committee. The
women are to be sent In response to
request Of Victor l.. Berger, So
cialist congressman from Wisconsin.
Later at the Hotel Needham, where
Thompson was taken. he recalled five
shots were fired instead OF one. The
police were inclined to suspect a
plant on the part OF the Industrial
Workers of the World to arouse
plant on the part OF the Industrial
sympathy when Thompson's story had
been heard.
A two-pound bag OF pepper. white
and cayenne mixed, was found on the
ground by the police, after breaking
up gang of 100 strike pickets, head
ed by Annie Welzenbach.

MORE DELEGATES
ADDED FOR TAFT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special
In the week which has just passed the
national Taft bureau has received
hundreds of kilograms and letters
from business organizations and pri-
vate individuals of all classes giving
assurances Of support for the Presi-
dent. Many of these kilograms say
that the writer's were for Colonel
Roosevelt until they read his Column
bus speech.
More than 80 delegates were added
to the Taft column in the past week,
and ell but four of them were instruct
ed. The total number for the Presi-
dent now is "a. There will be con-
tested delegation from the Third Mis-
souri, district and another from Tulsa,
Okla. The Tulsa convention endorsed
Mr.. Roosevelt, but many of the del
egates bolted. Colonel Roosevelt will
probably get the two delegates from
that district, but Mr.. Taft already has
majority there.
The announcement OF organized OPP
position to the Presidents renomina-
ton has simply stimulated the en-
deavors of the Taft managers. 1t is
apparent that the Southern States will
be solid for the President, and with
New York. Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, and most of the other big East
ern States sending delegations for Mr..
Taft, the anti Roosevelt men cannot
see how the Colonel can figure very
largely in the Chicago convention.
Senator Root and every Republican
member of the New York delegation
remains loyal to President Taft. In
Massachusetts. Senator Lodge, because
of his personal relations, although
strongly opposed to the recall of ju-
| dicial decisions. has announced neu-
trality, while Representative Gardner
and Lieutenant Governor rockingham
have declared for Mr.. Taft.
Other ''progressives," like Senator
Borah, have withheld their support,
while still others, like Representatives
Martin and Burke, of South Dakota:
Humphrey, of Washington, and Sena-
tor Jones, of Washington, have taken
their stand with the President.
! Claims OF Taft Bureau.
/ In a statement given out by the ma
! tional Taft bureau last night, the fol-
! lowing additional claims are made:
| Former Governor N. ]. Bachelor,
Of New Hampshire, president of the
National Grange, declared that the CO.
lumbus speech made the opposition
impossible.
In Orange, N. j., the Mckinley and
Roosevelt Club changed its name and
endorsed the candidacy Of President
Taft.
