All self respecting towns in the
sunthwest find it necessary to
have a chamber of commerce, to
look out for the interests of the
town, and a certain amount OF
advertising. Lordsbusg has been
a little lax in this respect, but

such a body is being organized
and soon Lordsburg will be CIV

Who is the knocker? This cues

usually find him on some corner
when the police are not present;
his amount of work during the
day is represented by the alge-
braic figure x. and his occupation,
if you asked him. would puzzle
him more than the solution OF the
number of summers seen by the
fcticious Ann. Still, he knows
how the entire city should be
regulated although he does not
know and does not care how he
will pay his poll tax. He couldn' t

ten cents, yet he discusses the
finances of the city as if he had
the combination of the city treas
ury at his fingers end. Nothing
that happens to his home town is
any good; it never can be. He
judges the town from his owr
standard and the conclusion is
only obvious. Bees kill out tht

HM.mon's Record
The Disbarment Of Thatcher

i
the eminent qualifications of Gov
ernor Judson Harmon as a can
didate for the democratic noml
nation for the presidency devoted
one chapter to the labor bills en-
acted by the 1911 legislative ses-
sion in Ohio. Not in direct terms,
but inferentially, the credit for
these enactments is given to Gov
ernor Harmon. Among the many
excellent bills which the Ohio
Democrats passed in the interest
of labor was one reinstating in
the practice of the law Attorney
Charles A. Thatcher, Of Toledo.
Mr.. Thatcher is a leading law
yer of Lucas county. A great
deal of his practic, by choice, has
been as a representative Of union
labor. Thatcher was disbarred
from practice in Ohio by the su-
preme court because he sided
with labor and criticised the
Judges in a controversy which or
ganized labor had with the tribu
nal. Those who are familiar with
legal controversies between labor
and capital need not be told that
the lawyer sacrifices himself for
the working men secures for
himself an allegiance among the
men who toll that is remarkably
strong.
The supreme court. because of
the stinging criticisms of Thatch-
er in a pending case, took away
from him his livelihood. After
that tribunal disbarred him he
could practice in no court of re-
cord within the boundaries of
Ohio. Immediately his cause was
taken up by the laboring men of
the state. There was but one
tribunal left with the power to
reinstate Thatcher. That was the
state legislature.
One of the first bills introduced
in the house was that which
sought to reinstate Mr.. Thatcher.
1t passed early in the session,
two months at least before ad-
iournment. 1t became a law, and
it may be found n The Laws Of
Ohio, 1911" on page "a. 1t re-
cites that, Whereas, Chas. A.
Thatcher of the city of Toledo,
Lucas county, Ohio, possesses
the qualifications of an attorney
and counsellor at-l law and is of
good moral character and has
practiced law in Ohio for about
twenty years, and has a number
of clients who require his servic-
es as an attorney and counsellor
at-law, he having no other pro-
fession or occupation; and where
as, an emergency has arisen
whereby, without legislative re
lief, he is prohibited from acting
as an attorney or counsellor-at-
law, and also from the applying
for admission to the bra in this
state; therefore, be it enacted, "
etc. The enactment is formal
legal reinstatement and COM
mand to all courts to receive him
as an attorney.
Thatcher lost his license or
right TO pfacClce III Controversy
wherein he represented labor
against capital. The action Of
the court was SO arbitrary and
unjust at least it so appealed to
a majority of both houses of the
Ohio legislature that they took
this extraordinary means Of re-
instating him. The bill was pass
ed April 18. 1911, and after be
ing signed by the presiding offic-
ers of the two houses was sent
to. the governor. What did he do
with it?
Here is his oficialrecord: This

service, through Colonel knight, the
local superintendent, yesterday placed
with the Mare Island navy yard con
tract for the immediate construction
of twenty-five lifeboats, each TO accom-

When IL developed that lack Of life

ing, and the afternoon breeze will
scatter the ashes over land and water.
As link between the old navy and
the new, and as monument TO not
inglorious past, the Pensacola had n
value hard to Indicate in terms Of tho
dollar age. AS junk the old ship
brought to the Golfers of the nation
just $4,000. What the junkmen will
get out of it only the junkmen will
ever know, and junkmen don't tell
There are few of the picturesque old
wooden warships left and most of them
deserve n better fate than befell the
Pensacola.
The Pensacola was best known to the
present generation as the ship that lay
for twelve years at the Yerba Buena
naval training station, whore IL did
duty as receiving ship. A few months
ago the navy department decided that
the ship was too old for further service.
A naval board surveyed and condemned
it and the navy department ordered it
sold TO the highest bidder. 1t was
knocked down to Henry Rogers, and
he did the rest.
The Pensacola g keel was laid in 1858
at Pensacola, Florida, and four years
later the ship was put into commission.
The Pensacola was attached to Adj
miral Farragut IS feet and ran the bat
tories at New Orleans and Mobile bay.
After the war the Pensacola, com
manded by Captain George Dewey,
formed part of the Mediterranean fleet,
and from 1872 to 1875 the frigate was
flagship of the Pacific fleet.
For several years after that the Pen
sacola was laid up Mt Mare Island, and
after duty in various parts of the Pa
ciic was ordered in 1899 to the naval
training station at Yerba Buena.
Rear Admiral c. b. Il. Moore, who
got his promotion while commandment
of the Yerba Buena station, hoisted his
flag on the Pensacola, which for him
was rare triumph, as it was on the
Pensacola, in the days of its prime, that
he had made his first practise cruise rs
n midshipman.
The Pensacola cost 100000, and
more than ten times that amount has
been spent on it during its career for
repairs.

apples and known wherever Hawaiian
pineapples are eaten. Mr.. Rhodes had
heard of the Salt River valley and the
famous Roosevelt irrigation system,
and decided to visit it personally and
see for himself just what it was like
and whether or not local conditions
were favorable for pineapple culture.
After studying local conditions, eli
mate and soil, Mr.. Rhodes purchased
a tract of Chandler ranch land from
the Mesa Improvement Company and
will learn by actual experiment whether
or not pineapple culture can be made
commercial success here.
When asked concerning the venture,
Mr.. Rhodes stated: 81 believe that the
Salt River valley of Arizona will grow
pineapples and L mean to make a test
of it on the land l bought from the
Mesa Improvement Company upon the
Chandler ranch. The first crop of pine
apples mature in from fifteen to eigh-
teen months after planting and there
after from one to two crops each year
Planting them in rows about three feet
apart and twenty to twenty-four inches
apart in the rows, a fair crop of pine
apples is from fifteen to twenty tons
per acre, and they should sell at from
$40 to $50 per ton. During the first few
years the young plants sold should
yield from 20 to so per cent. additional
revenue.'

sheriff of Seattle is on the AriZonan,
which will arrive here May %, also
after Arai 1t seems that Proebstel
tracked the man to San Francisco and
took the first boat he could get, with
out waiting for eXtradition papers. AS
soon ms the sheriff of Seattle heard that
Arai was ON his way to Hawaii, which
was just after Proebstel had set out
across the pillows he got the necessary
warrant and papers and took the first
boat he could get, which happened to
be the Arizonan.
Now Arai is perfectly willing to 90
back without any papers, for he claims
that the whole affair will be settled
amicably with the trading company and
Chief McDuflie might have taken him
up on the Manchuria. II is rumored
about police headquarters that both
Proebstel and the sheriff of Seattle
were ready to jump at chance to visit
these sun kissed isles and that neither
was going to be cheated out of the
opportunity to revel in Honolulu s well
advertised delights, so they both came,
and in this case the sheriff will not be
particularly peeved if his prisoner goes

here and Proebstel viii probably be
glad to observe the letter of the law

Won DAMN SUGGESTS
MANY CHANGES IN THE
PRESENT COUNTY LAW

Changes in the existing county law
have been suggested to the territorial
Republican committee by B. Won Damn.
He proposes that the election at large
of the whole board of supervisors be
discontinued; that the fourth electoral
district elect three supervisors; that the
fifth electoral district elect three
supervisors; that the seventh supervisor
be eliminated, and his place and powers
be vested in the mayor, who shall BIO
elected at large. Alternative for No. A:
That the six supervisors so elected by
popular vote elect a seventh, and that
in case no majority vote can be secured
for any one candidate, the Governor Of
the Territory to appoint the seventh
supervisor, or that the mayor elected
for the same term cast the deciding
vote.
j. p. Cooke proposes, that the cleo
ton of county officers be every four
years; that the recall by vote of the
people be provided for, affecting all
such officers; that county elections be
not held during the same year as terri
toriai elections.

WILL BEGIN WORK ON
CoALING PLANT SOON.

Civil Engineer GayIer of the naval
station received authority yesterday
morning to begin construction of the
coaling plant at the Pearl Harbor naval
station. This will cost about 100000.
The work win be done by yard labor,
and much of the materials will be
bought in Honolulu. The cement may
cost about 100000.
The borings for the coal basin were
made last fall. The plans will now be
prepared and by summer the work will
be under way. The basin is to be sunk
below the level of the ground surface,
and the plant will be the last word in
modern appliances for handling coal.
Following the announcement of work
on the coaling plant the navy will turn
its attention to the building of the
magazine on Kuahua Island about OPP
posite the drydock entrance. The plant
is estimated to cost about $403 900.
these figures having been given in The
Advertiser last November. At that
time Engineer Smith stated that no
money had been Appropriated, and he
felt it was very doubtful if the total
appropriation for the work would ex-
coed 100000. The item in the navy
bill, however, is a little over $4,000.

LOCAL BIDDERS FOR
ARMY CONTRACTS

Bids for furnishing various com
missary supplies to the military depart
ment of Hawaii were opened yesterday
morning by Captain d. b. Case, depot
commissary, to be delivered during the
month of June. The amounts are larger
than in previous months owing to the
fact that the First Infantry arrives
here this morning from the mainland,
1000 strong. When the samples which
accompanied the bids have been tested,
the awards will be made.
Fred L. Waldron, Ltd, had the low
figure for the 100000 pounds of fresh
potatoes called for, the figure being
2.35 cents per pound. Hackfeld & Co.
were the only bidders on 1900 pounds
of onions, the figure being 4.5 cents
per pound. The same firm was also
low on graduated sugar, with 5.34, and
on both ground and roasted coffe, at
23.47 cents. Hackfeld g. Co. was low
on the majority of the grocery sundries,
but some of the bids ran into four deci-
mails, and will have to be carefully fig
ured and compared with samples be-
fore an award is made. Hoffschlaeger
& Co. were low on 5000 pounds of
flour, but in this item also Haekfeld
is strong competitor.
