His Rara Old PAINTING.

Speaking of fake antiques and forg-
ed paintings an art amateur said:
There is an American who bought
a Raphael in Rome some years ago.
The Italian law prohibits the exporta-
ton of masterpieces. and the American
had the happy idea of getting the
Raphael painted over. This was &C
cordingly done. The rare old painting
reached New York in the guise OF a
modern snow scene.
Then the restorer. under the watch
full owners eye, set to work on it
With a sponge dipped in turpentine he
proceeded to rub the snow scene of.
He sponged it off readily, but he
sponged a bit of the Raphael OF, too
and, behold, underneath the Raphael a
portrait of Marconi was revealed

MEXICAN PRISONER TAXES HIS LEAVE
 WHILE WOUNDED
Alfredo Ortiz Who Stabbed Night or ficer Gid Thompson Escapes From House Where He Was Under
 The Care of Doctor.

Alfredo Ortiz, who three weeks ago stabbed Night Officer Gid Thompson in the shoulder while resisting arrest in La Favorita saloon, and who in turn was shot by the officer three times, made his escape on Monday from the house where he has been con fined, under the doctors care, since the shooting.
 Ortiz is at large with two bullet wounds in his leg and a bullet in his right lung. It is the opinion of the physician that the wounded man can- not live with the bullet in his lung if he attempts to make a long ride, or get out of the district on foot. It is the belief of the sheriff's office that Ortiz, had assistance from his relatives and friends and is in hiding in Cliff A-9n.
 The officers are working on several clues and still hope to locate their prisoner although several days have already elapsed since his escape.
 Since the shooting Sheriff Patty kept a night guard on the wounded man but no guard was considered necessary in the day time as the con- dition of the prisoner was considered tion was held between Dr. Burtch and Sheriff Patty and it was decided that it would be safe to move the wound ed man to the jail on the following day. Information regarding the in- tentions of the doctor and sheriff is believed to have been conveyed to the prisoner. After the guard left Mon day morning the wounded man with the aid of outside assistance, succeed ed in making his escape from the building sometime during the day.
 The officers believe he is hiding within the town limits where he is being cared for by his friends. A close watch is being kept on several Mexican houses by the sheriff's of flee.

That the counties must act in con- junction with the state for the pur- pose of surveying, laying out and building up the links that will go to make up a complete chain of ter written by State Engineer Lamar Cobb to the secretary of the Warren District Commercial Club. This was sent in answer to an inquiry rela- tive to the filing of surveys for those sections of the state highway that will go to make up the Borderland route suggested by the reports that have reached Bisbee that either in the westerly part of Cochise county or in the northeasterly part of Santa Cruz, the proposed line of the state highway was being fenced.
 MT. Cobb states that a survey of the proposed line has been made and filed, but there is no record if it's adoption, and further that there is not now any available fund for sur veys, and there will be none for other than immediate surveys dur ing the present year.

ARGUMENT AGAINST THE KINNEY LABOR
 MEASURE
Written Statement Filed With Secre tary of State Says Bill Is Un-
 American and Unfair.

PHOENIX, July 25.-Alleging that the Kinney Bill is un-American, un- fair and unjust, Theodore Olea, Il citizen of Maricopa county, yester- day filed an argument against the bill which has been initiated and will be before the electors at tae election next fall.
 According to the publicity law, ar guments for and against any initiated measure may be filed with the secre- tary of state, and they will be print ed at state expense and circulated with the arguments for the bill, so that the voters who must pass upon the measure will be fully instructed as to the merits of both sides of the question. In accordance, therefore, with this provision, Olea has filed his argument. To read the list of ob- jectionS to the bill one who attend ed the senate debates in the senate when the bill was originally up for discussion might be tempted to re- mark that it was one of Senator Hubbell's speeches reduced to writ ing. The statements are made with almost the same terseness and di rectness used by that gentleman when he argued against the passage of the measure.
 Olea sets out that the bill, which provides that certain classes of haz- ardous labor in mines, workshops and factories, must be done eXclu- sively by men who speak and under stand the English language, that the enforcement of such provision will put out of employment thousands of thrifty and desirable Mexican citi- zens, depriving the families of these men of the sustenance which has been the fruit of their labor That it will deny to the children of these men the opportunity to learn to speak English, which can be had by attendance upon the public schools, that it will force certain lines of employment which has heretofore been done by the Mexican alone, and which the Americans and English speaking miners will not do, into the hands of negroes.
 Mr Olea states that the number of Mexicans alone who will be af fected by the enactment into law of this measure can be conServatively estimated at 10000. These people in many instances have built them homes contiguous to their places of work, and they will be forced to abandon them if the bill passes, thereby losing many thousands of dollars themselves, and in many cases giving up that which they have obtained only after much effort and deprivation. in cuncl"si..n Mir.

DR, SHINE AND JUDGE LITTLE
 DID NOT DESERT CHAMP CLARK

''The attitude of myself and Judge P. c. Little of Globe, in the Balti- more convention, has been misunder- stood by a great many people, in fact numerous reports have been circulated over Arizona regarding our votes that were absolutely un- true.' So states Dr. F. E. Shine of Bisbee, one of the Arizona representa- tives at the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore. Dr. Shine is in Phoenix attending a meeting or the State Board of Medical Examin- CTS
 T was elected a delegate to Balti- more and instructed to vote for Champ Clark, which I did. I aEI a Southerner, and for that reason my sYmpathies were with Oscar Under wood, although I never cast a bal let for him during the convention. 1 obeyed my instructions and voted for Champ Clark for the first thirty ballots, and would have been voting for him yet, had 1 not received tele- grams from the members of the Co., chise county democratic committee and dozens of the leading democrats of my county, informing me that there would be no objection at home
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-08-02

if I voted for Wilson in the event that it became certain that Clark could not win. Believing that Clark's S cause was lost, I voted for Wilson the first time on the thirty-first ballot, but not before.
 Judge Little of Globe has also been the victim of false statements. Like myself, he went to Baltimore instructed for Clark and with Clark he remained until the very last bal lot of the convention, when with all the other Arizona delegates he voted to make Governor Wilson's nomina- tion unanimous. It has been report ed that Judge Little deserted Clark early in the fight, but this is abso- lutely untrue. About the time I voted for Wilson, Judge Little also voted for him once, but on the next ballot came back to Clark and re- mained with the Missourian until the very last vote was taken in the convention.
 It appears that pr. Shine and Judge Little have been the victims of untrue reports, and from the facts as they are now presented it seems there was but one traitor from Ari- zona at the Baltimore convention.

chance of being nominated.
 The instructions given the dele gates to the Baltimore convention were explicit, and in view of the fact that Clark carried Arizona in the primaries by a majority reaching in some districts as high as 20 to 1, the democrats generally believe that our representative in Balti- more should have stood by the Speaker to the last ditch. However, there is not a democrat in the new state who will not stand Loyalty by the nominee of the convention, and l believe Arizona will give a very big majority for Wilson.
 'The fact is, that neither Roose- welt nor Taft is in great favor with the voters of Arizona. The former tried, while in the White Huose, to hitch us to New Mexico, and our people never have forgotten the Colonel for this. When Taft be- came president and the matter of statehood came up, he insisted that the people should eliminate the re- call of the judiciary provision in the State Constitution, which we finally had to do. Of course, the recall has been put back in the Constitution by the action of the Legislature, but many of our people have not felt any too kindly to Taft for his inter- ference.
 T believe that Roosevelt will beat Taft in November, but I am sure that Wilson will beat them both.'

Arizona's ElectoriaI Vote Twill Be Cast For Woodrow Wilson.

Although he has Sbeen in Wash ington several months, Paul Krueger, secretary to Senator Mark Smith, is in close touch with the political situation in Arizona. That he knows how strong Arizona is for Wilson is evidenced by the following inter- view, which appeared in the Wash ington Post of July IT:
 Wilson will get Arizona's three electoral votes,' said Paul R. Krue- ger, of that state, at the New Ebbitt. Our democrats were for Champ Clark for the nomination, but the democrats of the new state are good losers, and we shall not Sulk in our tents because the man of our choice was not nominated. The Clark democrats in Arizona, how ever, are not disposed to forgive the men of the Arizona delegation who violated their pledges and voted against the Speaker when he was still n tne lead. and mad the best
