STARVING BOY ENDS
 LIFE IN CITY OF PARIS

PARIS, June 9.-A pitiful story ot a boys suicide comes from Poitiers A lad of 15 years crept up to some ar tilerymen on duty in the street and begged for food. He was shiverine with cold, and his clothes were in rags and soaked with rain.
 'I am cold" he managed to falter with tears streaming down his face and I have had nothing to eat for three days"
 Moved with pity, one of the soldiers Gunner Fouchard, gave the little fel low piece of bread and tablet O. chocolate he had in his pocket, and took him under the shelter of his bis heavy cloak. Some time later the sil diers were relieved and the lad had to leave his benefactor. He crept away again into the darkness, and a minute later the sound of shot was heard The boy had shot himself through the head

MISSING BALLOTS IF PHOENIX
 DRY" ELECTION |S 4 PUZZLE

Thomas was inspector, A. J. Daggs and John T. Dunlap were judges, T. J. Romero, James P. Blanton, Leo
 Troutman and Charles Nafziger were clerks, and Wayne Davis was marshal
 When the votes had been counted and the yellow envelopes sealed on ballots and tally sheets, the box was locked. Thomas and Blanton took charge of it an delivered it to Stan dage.
 As Inspector Thomas was supposed to keep one tally sheet for himslet | but he did not do so. He had been appointed by the supervisors to act as marshal but the inspector appointed did not appear so Thomas took that place. He had not looked up the law on the duties of election inspectors.
 The supervisors are supposed to canvass the returns next Monday. They cannot go behind the tally sheets, and both tally sheets for that precinct are missing.
 As the wet majority in the city was in the neighborhood of $50, the re suit will not be changed if the miss ing ballots and sheets are never found

PHOENIX, June 9,-All ballots cast It the Phoenix No 3-A polling place in the prohibition election of May %, and both sets of tally sheets, have been lost.
 Immediately after the votes had been counted the ballot box was taken to the courthouse by Andrew Thoman and James B. Blanton, and there turn ed over to Clarence Standage, assist ant clerk of the board of supervisors. When the ballot box was opened by the supervisors the ballots were gone. There were two white envelopes in he box, but they contained nothing except two blank tally sheets. Four tally sheets were sent to each polling place, though it was necessary
 0 fill out only two. None were spoil
 at the No. 3-A polling place, which vas in Wesley Hills garage on West Washington street, and only two of he blanks were used.
 The officers declare that they plac ed the used talley sheets and ballots into brown envelopes and that they never saw any white envelopes.
 Where the brown envelopes, ballots and tally sheets went, and where the white envelopes came from, is a mys- tery to which not the slightest clue has been obtained
 The white envelopes were not seal ed and no names were signed there on. There were lines for the judges and inspector to sign on after the en- velopes had been sealed. Judges and inspectors say that they did not sign across the seals of the brown en- velopes because there were no sucli lines on them
 The number of votes cast at the garage was 546 Of this number 379 were wet and 167 dry, the wet majori- Ity being PIP.

MAMMOTH WASH |S BEING PUT IN SHAPE

The Imperial Valley committee in charge of the work on the Mammoth Wash informs the Yuma Commercial Club that they have some means at hand and will see that this road is put into good shape at once; they added that there is mo need of further worry about it. :"
 This is, indeed, good news. Did you ever notice that when these Southwestern men set out to accom-, plish anything the job is just as good as done?
 We believe that when the Phoenix party comes through here on their Sociability run to San Diego they will have no cause to complain about the condition of the roads in Yuma county.

 EXAMINER WRITER TELLS STORY

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner
 WASHINGTON, D. O., June 10.-
 Representative Humphrey of Seat tie, in a vigorous speech on the floor of the House, attacked the Forest Service, and drew a reply from Rep resentative Bryan of his own state. Victor Murdock of Kansas, however made the principle response, uphold ing the Administration of the service, and charging that Humphrey spoke Tn renewed defense of his friend Ballin- ger, who was once Secretary of the Interior, is like the ghost of BanQuO, inasmuch as his shades ever hover over the halls where trot and trod the feet of wise men.
 Commerce Court Starved Out
 The Commerce Court, of which the famed Judge Archibald, impeached by the Senate, was a Member, has been starved out, and there will be no ap- propriation for the continuance of the body after July 1.
 The Hunt for Lobby in Washington
 The Senators who undertook the job of finding lobby first purged them selves, when it came to the attempted discovery Senator Penrose, who is supposed to know all the dark and devious routes of politics, made a lengthy statement, and asserted that in all his years in Washington he had never met a lobbyist. Senator Cham berlain declared he knew of TO lobby, but believed it proper that the inter- ests affected by legislation sl1ould come to Washington. 'Fd just as soon be a cat in purgatory without claws" said the Senator, "as to have a claim against the government and not be able to come in person and urge it." Senator Ashurst thought he knew of a lobbyist of whom he said: He is the smoothest lobbyist I have ever seen. He could carry bundle of eels up stairs without dropping single one He referred to a man named McMurray, who is interested in Cherokee Indian land claims. Sen ator Perkins of California, said many persons had appeared before him in legitimate way-with regard to protec- tion of California industries and oth- CTS. Senator Catron of New Mexico, stated that his income would be de- creased $200 a month by the remoavl of tariff on lead and zinc. However the Senator has been unable to finan ce a good share of New Mexico pol itics, and can likely stand the de crease in his revenues.

 As to invitations to come to our meetings, the doors are always open and every body in invited to attend . We have nothing to conceal from the
 public, nor do we wish to mislead any one as you are deliberately trying to 1 do. When you publish statements which you know are untrue you are "(you can supply the word your self). And when you publish state ments which by a little investigation you can easily find to be untrue you are an assam exact duplicate of your party emblem.
 Now, so far as to Joining hands with the Hess outfit" is concerned, permit us to say that this taunt will not deter us in the least. We are not in league with Hess and never expect to be. WE INTEND TO BACK THE PROPOSED RECALLS BECAUSE THEY ARE RIGHT AND REGARDLESS OF WHO ELSE MAY BE BACKING THEM. Our attitude md conduct in the recent recall cleo tion ought to convince you that we and Hess don't trot in the same har- ness. It is true that WE DID NOT WILFULLY MISREPRESENT HIM AS YOU DID IN THE DIR. FERGU- SON MATTER. Socialists do not re- sort. to such methods May be this i, is the reason why you and your kind cant understand and appreciate us.
 If an attempted recall of the super visors and the county attorney by the Socialists would be such joke, why are you so exercised about it? And why is supervisor Elliott so pernicious- ly active? Don't you know that he is constantly interviewing individual So- cialists and trying to square" himself with them? If you don't you had bet ter get wise. It the attempted recall by us will be such a joke, will you kindly tell us why the county attorney spends so much time on the Sangui- nethti and Stag corner these days? You know he didn't before we resolv- ed to back his recall And why did the board appoint Walter Winn, the brother-in-law of J. w. Edwards, to the office of Immigration Commission CT?

| Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner
 PRESCOTT, June 10.-F. J. Stein and other residents of Flagstaff who are in the city, gave an interesting account of the discovery just made of a gigantic cave about IS miles to the north of that city and near Ken drick mountain.
 This huge subterranean cavern they pronounce as one of the most be wildering and fascinating of crear tions that has ever been known to ex- ist\in any region in the world, and is of that demension as to be almost un- believeable. Mir. Stein states that he traversed it from beginning to end and that it extends underground for over three miles according to ac- curate measurements made by the party of which he was a member. It has a width of IA feet, and from the floor to the roof is 12 feet. An auto can easily travel through it so smooth is the ground laid. Perpetual ice bed were found in several places, while seepage water from the surface was also abundant but did not interfere with observations being made on foot.
