The selection Of St. Louis or Kansas City might possibly be construed as an advantage for Champ Clark or Joseph W. Folk, but the possibility is so remote that it is not likely to interfere with the chances of either city.
 Politically speaking. Baltimore may be regarded as favoring Harmon for president The democrats in the Maryland city belong to the conserva- tive wing Of the party At the same time it Is believed that the Harmon managers and those of Woodrow Will son as well would prefer that the convention be held in the west. In this matter they share the belief of many other democratic leaders that the nomination of Governor Harmon, Governor Wilson, or ans other demo crat, for that matter, if brought scout among the progressive democratic communities of the west. would be more satisfying to the rank and file of the party They argue. that if it shall turn out that Governor Harmon is a stronger candidate in the east than in the west, then 1t would be a

GOES EAST ID BUY
 NEW SPRING GOODS
Buyer of Phelps Dodge Mer- CantiFe Company to
 Strat Wednesday

The announcement is made that H D. Baty. buyer of drygoods and ready to wear clothing for the Phelps Dodge Mercantile company. will leave Bisbes for the east on January TO-. The object of MT. Batys trip is to make, for the company he represents, the purchases of spring goods in New York and other eastern markets, and to aarrange for the shipment Of the spring stock in those lines, and this will be done so that they will commence to arrive in Bisbee on or bout February 15, since springs sets in here earlier than in the east. From carly announcements received from mills and factories, the new effects which will be shown and worn in the coming spring are extraordinarily handsOne, and the combinations of trimmings and colorings that are be- ing arranged are pronounced superb.
 The past season has been a sue cessful one, especially in the depart ments for which Mir Baty will make purchases on this trip, and this tends to give to buyers added confidence in selecting correct styles, patterns and fabrics. From present indications the coming season will show a larger variety of high class merchandise than o7er before. as it is the purpose of the men going east to procure the best in all respects for the people of Bisbce, as past experience has taught that this is the class of goods and articles that ara here most de handed

Western City Will Win
Convention of Democrats

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 6:-St Louis, Kansas City, Chicago. Denver, Baltimore. New York-where shall the national convention Of the demo cratic party be held next sumner This is the leading question to be con sidered and acted upon by the demo cratic national committee at it's meet ing in this city Monday Many mem bers of the national committee, to- gether with numerous other demo crdts of wide prominence, arrived in the capitol today in anticipation Of the meeting of the committee and the banquet to be held at the Raleigh hotel Monday night in memory of the patron saint of democracy, Andrew Jackson.
 The speakers at the banquet will include a number of the most prom inent democrats in the country, sever al of them candidates for the presi- dental nomination. The list is as follows: Senator \ OGorman of New York, toastmaster; Norman F. Mack, chairman of the democratic national committee: Speaker Clark Judge AL ton B. Parker of New York. Represen- tatiye Underwood of Alabama, Wil- liam K. Hearst of Nsw York, Govern or Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. Senator Robert l.. Taylor of Tennes- see. Governor Baldwin of COnnecti- cut. William J. Bryan of Nebraska, former Governor Joseph w. Folk Of Missouri, Senator Francis C. New lands of Nevada! GoYarnor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, Senator POmer- enc of ohio, and Representative James T. Lloyd of Missouri
 The choice Of the party for con- ventiOn city promises to be brimful of politics. The contest for the dsm- ocratic nomination between recogniz ed representatives of the cOnseTva tive and progressive wings of the party makes the choice of the conven

ton city one of the main factors to be considered by the national com mittee.
 If it were a foregone conclusion that any certain candidate would be nominated by the democrats, it would not matter much where the conven- ton was held As the situation stands, however, the choice of a con vention city may have a most i'm portant bearing on the nomination.
 The first matter to be determined is whether the convention shall be held in the east or the west No democratic candidate for president has be sn named in the east since the civil war and many Of the party lead CTS believe it would be poor politics to take the gathering away from the west at this time.
 Many influential democrats are more than half inclined to believe that the convention will go to Chi cago They predict that if it does not it will go as far west as Kansas city or Denver. The claims of St. Louis, which is well able to take care of the convention. will receive con- sideratiOn.
 New York apparently is in earnest in her desire 10 secure the convention but # the gathering is held in the east it is believed that Baltimore will get the prize. The Maryland city was the first to put in a bid and has been conducting a hard campaign for near ly year. If the democrats are super stitious and believe in luck they cer- tainly will hold their convention in Baltimore. for Baltimore and democ racy have four times proved a winner which is more than can be said of Chicago St. Louis, Kansas City, or Denver
 Chicago would be regarded as neu traI ground for the convention. The selection Of New York, on the othel

 lie, and today in Morses office. type written copies Of the confession were handed to newspapermen.
 Pelletier pointed out that although the confession is not a plea to the indictment, 1t is available as evi- dence in the trial, and to a jury would mean only conviction. As a first degree verdict is the worst out come the defense cculd expect, as ute lawyers remarked tonight tha. counsel would rarely permit a con fesslon to go forth without hope of something less than the death pen. alty. so it is the general belief that some understanding must have pre- ceeded the giving of the document One possibility suggested is a plea of insanity, through which Richeson may be sent to an asylum. Still another course of procedure may be the calling of the jury and reading of the confession, which would be fol- lowed by a formal verdict of guilty in the first degree. After that an effort could be made to obtain com mutation of the death sentence through executive action.
 Story of Ministers Crime
 The crime of Richeson is the mur- der of Avis Linnel on the night of October 5. Miss Linell. aged nine teen. was a native of Hyannis, where Richeson formerly held a church, and was a student in the New England conservatory of music here.
 Miss Linall was found dying in the bathroom at the Young Women's Christian Association, where she lodged At first it was thought she was a suicide, but day or two later it became generally known that she had taken cyanide of potassium in the belief that it would relieve her embarrassing physical condition.
 The day after Miss Linnelps death, Richeson went to the home of Moses Grant Edmunds, father of Miss Violet Edmunds, to whom Richeson was 10 have been married on October 3l last. It was reported to the police that the young pastor had been en- gagged to'Miss Linell It was also the police theory that the minister was tfs person to whom Miss IinnelTs physical condition would cause the greatest worry
 On the night of October l9, Will liam Hahn, druggist at Newton Cen ter, reported to the police that a few days before the death of Miss Lin nell, Richeson had purchased cyanide of potassium from him. Next day Richeson was arrested in the Ed munds home in Brookline, and the wedding invitations recalled. A spec ial grand jury, on October 3I, re- turned an indictment against Riche- son, whO pleaded not guilty. and his trial was fixed for January l5. Later he resigned his pastorate

One Battleship Yearly
 Is Democratic Program

England comes first, Germany second, France. fourth and Japan fifth. If the United States should adhere to the one battleship per year program, however navy experts estimate that this country will be outstripped by both France and Japan within the next decade, taking into considera- tiOn the probability that neither of these nations will curtail their nayies or order retrenchment in the expendi- tures for armament.
 The tonnage of the various nayies. built and now under course of con struction is given as follows:
 England 2r173,S3S: Germany 963.- S45: United States S24,152 France 725.231; Japan 493,67l; Russia 4O1,- 463; Italy 327,059; Austria 209.S99 The above was the relative order of warship tonnage already aflOat lOr contracted for when the house passed the last naval appropriation bill
 England has eight dreadnaughts and 49 first class battleships at pres ent, with ten additional dreadnaughts building
 Germany has dreadnaughts and 22 first class battleships, with 9 dread naughts in the course of construction
 The United States has 4 dread naughts and 25 first class battleships, with building
 France has v first class battleships with dreadnaughts and . battle ships under construction.
 Japan has 12 first class battleships with dreadnaughts and one addi- Jional battleship authorized under construction.
 Res lrdless of the programs of oth- CT nations, the United States probably will trail along hereafter with one new dreadnaugnt a year, unless some war cloud should become ominous enough to scare the democratic house. All appropriation measures must or iginate in the house committee, hence when the naval affairs bill is reported next time, it is expected that Representative Padgett win serve mo- tice that it will be the permanent pol icy of his committee to allow appro- priations for but one new ship per year.
 The senate may object to this, but the democratic house favoring both in public expenses and merely an adequate navy, will have the upper hand so far as battleships are concerned.

On Wednesday night of last week the grand master and grand secre. tary of the Odd Fellows were in Bis. bee on the occasion of the insualla- ton of officers for the year by Bis bee Lodge No. 10 The meeting of the Odd Fellows for installation drew out a large attendance and the new officers were duly installed by Grand Master Ferguson Of Douglas, assisted by Grand Secretary Mentz. Special music was furnished by F. R. Reynolds and following the ceremonials and the meeting an informal smoker was held. The new officers of the Odd Fellows are N. C., W. c. Johnson; V.

 On Tuesday night the Elks held regular meeting and two new mem bers were elected, date for initiation not yet being announced. Thus the record of new members at every meeting was kept up. The matter of the reunion of lodges of Arizona which is to be held at Tucson in the near future was taken up but was tabled. Financial reasons make it desirable for Bisbee Lodge 671 to go slow on unnecessary expenses until after the debt shall be paid of as an effort is being made to clear of the indebtedness so that there will be no obligations outstanding except Q minority of the stock, by April, 1913. There is enough charity work and other calls to find 8 use for all spare funds in the lodge treasury.
 Last Sunday the Elks club was filled from morning till night and the same was true on Monday. At mid night Sunday a supper was served and a large number of the antlered herd greeted the new year. On Mon day it was an open house for Elks.
 There are several matters now pending with the Elks one of which is another ot the popalaF dances the entertainment committee is conduct ing each month, @ "big feed" and smoker is on the tapis and progress is being made in the plans that have been formulated for the holding of show in tho present winter Those plans are not yet definite enough for announcement.
