OKLAHOMA WAY
 DOW G0 HERE
Caressing Each Other With Catsup Bottles Is Not the Arizona Method of Inter changing Amenities Be- tween Friends

F. w. Williamson, late of Okla homa. is in the city jail, or was last evening, placed there by City Mar shal Moore for safe keeping and a later conference with the recorder over the matter of what constitutes law and order in these parts. Will liamsOn undertook to pull off a little Oklahoma play in a Chinese restau- rant at the corner of First and Adams streets yesterday afternoon having first put himself in fighting condi- tion through alcoholic stimulation.
 He went into the restaurant and touched a button which summoned Fred Marsh from the quenchery next door known as The Health Office" On Marsh's appearance Williamson projected a catsup bottle toward him which he was clever enough to dodge by jumping behind a sideboard or partition wall A second bottle was side stepped with equal success when the third was seized by Williamson who was having the time of his life, he and Marsh playing hide and seek with the SidebOard
 Meanwhile the officer was sum- mOned and as he entered he saw Williamson flourishing the third bot tie wildly and threatening to mow down all who interfered. while Marsh was peremptOrily ordering the man not to throw the bottle. similar order issued by the officer proved effective and without further demon stration. Williamson accompanied the officer to the station. As far as could be learned the men had had no previous controversy. Williamson was in Marsh's place a short time before and was heard to remark that Marsh was the best friend he had in the city. But the Oklahoma way of de- monstrating ones regard for another did not seem to appeal to Marsh.

LONG LIFE's RETROSPECT.

I have been spared to see the end of giant wrongs which I once deemed invincible in this country, and to note the silent upspringings and growth of principles and influences which I hail as destined to rout out some of the most fragrant and prevailing evils that vet remain. I realize that each genera tion is destined to confront new and peculiar perilS-to wrestle with temp tations and seductions unknown to it's predecessors; yet I trust that progress is a natural law of our being, and that the ills and woes of our future shall be less crushing than those of the bloody and hateful past. So, looking calmly, vet humbly, for that close of my mor- tai career which cannot be far distant I reverentIy thank God for the bles- sings vOuchsafed me in the past; and with awe that is not fear, and con- sciousness of demerit which does not exclude hope, await the opening be- fore my steps the gates of the eternal World-Horace Greeley.

STATES DAY
 AT THE FAIR
It Will Be on Saturday the Last Day; Barbecue" or "Burgoo" Will Likely Figure in Satisfaction of the Inner Man

There was meeting at. the office Of the state fair commission yester- Gayday afternoon of the president. of several state societies to make ar engagements for the all states day af the state fair. Those present were J. C. Reed, of Pennsylvania. president Uf the meeting; Fred A Larson. of Texas. secretary; Vernon Clark Ken lucky; H. P. Lindsey, New York; F. H. Larson, North Dakota. Clarence Ice of West Virginia and F. H. Ly- man, Michigan who had attended earlier meetings were detained and unable to be present.
 One thing was definitely agreed upon and that was that the all states day should be Saturday. the last day of the fair It was also sug gested that all residents of former states who feel pride in their former residences and wish to affiliate with d state society should communicate with Secretary Larson
 It was decided that there should be a committee consisting of three members rom edcn state represented or to be represented, one member be- ing a lady, to have charge of the arrangements and the preparation of q program.
 There will be some kind of din her at the meeting of the states The inclination, at present is toward a barbecue, such a barbecue as has never been seen in this part of the country; or. there may be a bur goo" feast, such as has made Ken lucky famous. The bounding price of Eeef is a sort of brake on the bar heCue plan but, still this is aD event that doesn't come every day of the year and the expense however ruin Ous may be borne.
 It was mentioned that sheep were cheaper than they had been for long time and that enough sheep would furnish as much meat as q single steer But all this is matter that will be settled later.
 The meeting adjourned until next Thursday at three o'clock when it is hoped that all states will be repre- scented and that the ladies will lend their presence.

PEPPER CASE
 WAS DISMISSED
It Was Shown That the Charge of Stealing Bi- cycle Was Untrue and a Reflection on a We'll Known Citizen

A few days ago an item appeared in the Gazette relative to the charge made against John L. Pepper for stealing a bicycle. The Gazette made the accusation stand out in bold type that Mir. Pepper was a thief and had committed grand larceny intentionally This statement proved to be untrue
 An interview with MT Pepper was convincing to the point that he was entirely innocent of such accusations MT. Pepper says that a bicycle was left on the Pan-American ranch, where he is engaged, last January and that it remained there for several weeks undisturbed An advertisement was run in the classified columns stating that a bicycle had been found and that the owner should call at the ranch. The advertisement was never answered and so, not being able to find the owner, MT. Pepper took the bicycle to town and had some repairs made on it, telling the repair man that if anyone asked for the bicycle he could obtain it by letting him know.
 Nothing was heard from the owner and the bicycle remained in the care of MT. Pepper for nearly nine months when he decided to sell it. MT. Schultz of Five Points purchased the bicycle and then proceeded to inform the Phoenix Cycle company from whose place of business the property i had been taken A warrant was made out for MT. Pepper and he was arrested, the date for his trial being set for yesterday afternoon at o'clock. MT. Pepper appeared with four witnesses and after their testi-
 mony was heard the case was dis I missed.
 MT. Pepper has only been in this valley about year, coming formerly from San Antonio, Texas. An unjust charge of this sort is always very serious for a man just entering new land and MT Pepper was anxious tc 1 clear himself of the false accusation

Also she wanted to say that the Taft following in that bailiWick will sur prise some people when the votes are counted, for there are many men in that section who have hitherto fought under the banners of democracy, that propose to do so no longer, but will cast their votes this year for the standard bearer of the republican party.

 book Is System on s. P. Bran New Hunger Killer 7 Now in Operation

An innovation that will appeal most strongly to hungry travellers is that just installed on the Southern Pacific train No from San Francisco to Los Angeles and back again It is a lunch car. purveying moderately priced vii ands at all times of day and night.
 As soon as the system has had a thorough tryOut on the Shoreline. it will be spread among the Southern Pa cific trains all over the country. al ways providing it proves the success it promises.
 Charges will be made the same as on ferry boats on San Francisco bay. No de luxe prices win prevail though the quality of the service is designed to suit the most eXacting.
 As an example of the fare and the damages therefor, is quoted from the common menu, sandwiches 15c, ham and - 25c.; steaks, 35c, the last being the highest charge made for any one article of diet With their trains run ming through smiling farm lands and garden spots of the southwest, there is opportunity for the lunch car chefs to serve every staple and delicacy, and if the service any where nearly approach es what is claimd for it, the only lunch car in the world win be a huge and luxurious success.
 Another change of interest to s. P. travellers in the coast region of Cali fOrnia is the discOntinuance of the old four bit charge for chair car accomo- datiOn on the Shoreline trains. It has been the order heretofore to make ev- cry voyager by chair car dig up and turn over the "con" fifty cents for the privilege of the coach. Taking effect immediately, this custom, or habit and a bad one-has been relegated to the rubbish heap of worn out tradi- tiOn.
 The ShOreline train known as the daylight train between Los Angeles and San Francisco is to timed as to meet the Coast Flyer. a train which leaves Phoenix at 6:00 in the evening, and changes of it's management are consequently of interest to local trav- elers making the trip to coast points.

SIX SUSPECTED
 F|L|BUsTtRERs
Caught Near the Mexican Line
 Heavily Armed.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHJ

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHJ { SAN DIEGO, Aug. 22.-Six men are detained in the city prison as sus- poets tonight, having been arrested at a hotel at Fl Cajon. With them the police captured eight rifles, two car pines, thousand rounds of ammuni- tion and eight empty bombshells. The arrest followed secret information re- ceived by the police Four automo- piles loaded with armed officers went to Fl Cajon this afternoon and sur rounded the hotel in which the men were stopping and brought them to this city.
 They gave the names of Leonard Yam, H. Gorley, Sam Rosenberg. P. Shea, A. Johnson and Robert Ray Two of them are unfavOrably known to the local police. The place where the arrest was made is only a few miles from the Mexican line. The fact that the men were so heavily armed gave rise to a suspicion that their purpose was to cross into Lower California and join filibusterers and were from time to time to cross the boundary
 But there was also a suspicion that trouble at San Diego was the ob- ject One of the suspects is reported by the police to have made partial confession, and to have declared: ''We came here to kill"
 Prior to the arrest detectives had gone to Fort Rosecrans to warn the commander of the presence of armed men so near the border. Later de velopments caused the police them selves to act. Important developments are expected tomorrow

 The next speaker was Judge E. w Lewis He said the rivalry between the democrats and progressives, each trying to Outdo the other in radical ism, is the best augury of republican success He did not believe that ra dicalism is necessarily progress and still pinned his faith to that party which stands for the constitution that protects the minority, that protects human rights and that protects prop erty.

 KANSAS CITY, Aug 22.-TWo playmates of our -year-old Joseph whose lifeless body was found today buried in underbrush in a gully in the northeastern part of the city confessed late today to kill ing him. A stone hurled, when the youngster attempted to follow them on trip into the woods. struck the lad in the temple. John Farley and John Heinberger, each ten years old, after many conflicting stories, finally admitted the deed. They said they alone were responsible
 Little Joe" was last seen alive on Sunday afternoon when he kissed his mother. Mrs. John Zimmerman, wife of railroad engineer, goodbye, and told her he was going to hunt bugs" Farley and Heinberger said when they started on the hunt, they gave the four year old child candy in an effort to get him to remain at home because they did not want him with them When the youngster continued to follow, the older boys threw stones at him. One of the missiles struck the boy and he fell. The boys said when they saw the lad was dead they carried him into the underbrush where he was found today.

BID TAX PAYERS
 PROUD OF II
People of Osborn District Delighted
 With Their Total Assessment.

The people of the Osborn district are all puffed up over their assessment for purposes of taXationn. The valu- ation this year is $1,076,000 a sum ex- ceeded by only two other subdivisions of the county, Phoenix and Mesa. The citizens feel the better about it on ac- count of the assurance that their taxes will not be any higher than they were last year for the reason that then and for some years before they were engaged in paying off a bonded in- debtedness which has now been dis- charged
 It is claimed that the increased val uation has been made up less by the general increase of valuations through out the state than by the natural growth of wealth in that bailiwick. Many of the larger tracts have been subdivided within the last year and several costly homes have been built and more are building.
 The people of Osborn look forward to still greater growth in taxable wealth in the next fiscal year.

 Dan McDermott said there had been a lot of noise about progress and de clared that the two parties now fight ing to see which can be the most pro- gresSiVe are neither of them pro gressive but agitators. The republi- can party he said is the only party of progress, the party that has pushed this nation ahead until it has com manded the attention of the world
 Then came a political patriarch, William Newell of Mesa City. He had voted for Lincoln and Grant and then struck into the wilderness of the west ern territories never having had a chance to vote for a president since. Thirty four years ago at an election held in Mesa City, he was the only man to vote the republican ticket, but things are different now and he will have plenty of company when he goes to the polls this fall to drop a ballot for William Howard Taft.
 Captain F. $. Ingalls, another old timer who has been fighting republi- can battles since the beginning of things in Arizona was called upon and spoke briefly.
 MT Stoddard secured the floor again to read a portion of a letter sent to a Phoenix friend from woman in Wickenburg She said that she want ed the republican organization to know that she had a house there that is at it's disposal any time they will send good speakers to Wickenburg.

new Law WILL
BENEFIT SETTLERS

The new homestead law which
was recently passed and signed by
the president, was designed t.
check the heavy flow f settlers
now going into the Canadian north
west from the United States.
The bill as it stands is one that
gives the actual settler great
advantage. 1t is liberal in the
extreme, and provides, as now,
that full and complete title to the
land and all mineral or timber
thereon is given with the patent.
The main advantages of the new
law are that it provides for a
three-year residence, instead of
five, as at present; that five
months absence is allowed the
settler in any one year without
detriment to title or residence
qualifications; that no cultivation
is required the first year, and but
one-siXteenth of the total area
either in 100 or 320-acrr home
stead the second year, and one
eight of that area the third year.
Those now living upon home
steads have the option Of proving
up under the new law or ti1e-elG
as they prefer The wishes of the
Secretary of the Interior were
successfully transgressed, and no
reservation of any sort regarding
timber or mineral are REQUIRED
of the settler. Owing to the bar
rem nature Of much land in the
Wesern States, open to homestead
until water can be placed upon it,
the three year clauses are espec.
tally valuable, last they will enable
actual bonafide settlers who
formerly lost their claims by being
unable to comply with the resi-
dence provision, to leave the farm
for long enough every year to carr

THE ONLY REMEDY

Whence comes the power of
small GROUPS OF mer to gather iato
their hands such enormous wealth?
Primarily from the ownership of
the most valuable lands of the
country, and the privilege of levy
ing toll on capital and labor. There
are in one district in New York
thirty three buildings, whose real
not asses5ed-value is about
$l50,000.000. And the value of
the land on which they stand in
round numbers, is about S24O, Geo.
600!
That enormous sum -$24G, 000,-
O0O-represtnts the amount taken
from capital and labor in a genera.
ton or two, by the owners OF
these thi rty three parcels of land.
They never created one cent OF
these values. They did nothing
for them, except to sit still, willie
the work and presence of the COM
munity made them ri cher.
And every dollar of that $24O,-
100000 of values had 10 be
created by somebody's labor anu
capital. Now multiply what these
thirty-thrce owners have taken
from the wealth produ ced by the
industrious by all the thousands of
other pieces of land which have
risen in value everywhere, with NJ
industry on the owners part, and
you ought to be able to get 6
glimpse Of the truth that nothing
but fundamental economic reform
will effectually work for justice
and fair play and the prosperity
of the masses of the people,

still clinging to the foolish notion
that the people have not awakened
to the falYity of the idiotic argu-
ment that the tariff helps the
workingman when the tariff is
high.
These senators can't get it
through their heads that it has
been demonstrated, time and
again, that the tariff trusts do not
divide their loot with their work
men. The millions they gouge
out of the consumers pockets 90
straight into their own pockets,
with no regard whatever for the
workmen. They can't compre-
bend that the steel and wool trust
workmen are still working for five
and six dollars per week, while the
tariff protected mill owners are
piling up their untold millions. -.
