AMENDS TO HIS TENANT T.
Confers Order on and Gives Money to
Man He AssaiIed.

Herr Sohst. the tenant farmer on the
kaiser's estate at Cadinen, Germany,
whom, his majesty publicly said. he
had been compelled to throw out as
worthless and incompetent" has re-
ceived the .'amende honorable from
the emperor.
1t is officially announced that the
kaiser has bestowed the Prussian Or
der of the Crown of the Fourth GLASS
on Herr Sohst on the conclusion of
negotiations which have ended Il five
years dispute between them. In ad-
dition the kaiser has agreed to pay
to Sohst an indemnity Of $4,000. In
the notice to quit which Sohst refused
to accept last December the emperor
offered only $4,000.
Sohst. who by the verdict on Feb.
% in the third suit that he won against
the emperor became entitled to remain
another five years on the kaiser's es-
tate. has now surrendered his rights
and given up his lease.

of fifteen persons. and the jurors are
chosen by ballot by the clerk of the
court from the list containing the
names of the special and common ju-

hang on to as many men as possible
and as long as possible. as bad wealth
err has prevented some players from
exhibiting their skill. while accidents
to regulars %necessitate the carrying of
extra utility men.
Detroit tried out more recruits than
any of it's rivals. Twenty-three young
sters were taken south. Three were
catchers. Two have proved to be live
wires-Rondeau and Gibson. Both
will be kept.
Because Of the accident to John Hen
ry, Clark Griffith may carry two re-
cruit catchers for a few weeks. He
has Ainsmith and Williams as stand
bys. but probably will take a longer
look at both Munich and Egan.
A youngster had no chance to break
into the recruit proof ranks of the Red
Sox. All that Stahl looked for among
his rockies was a possible promising
pitcher or two. Leonard. who was
the hurting sensation of Denver in
1912. has a chance to last all season,
while Moseley. Foster and Brant may
last a month. Infielder Janvrin is
booked to stick throughout the cam
paign.
Connie Mack was much of the same
mind as Jake Stahl. The n best bet
that Connie unearthed this year was
Catcher Schang. from Buffalo.
For the purpose of running a two
ring circus up and down the coast
Jimmy Callahan was forced to take
along a bunch Of recruits. Several of
them We're either comebacks or were
tried out last fall. Most Of those book
ed to stick are from those two classes.
Pitchers Douglass and johnson and In
felders Borton and Berger look good.
George Stovall will present practical
ly a new catching staff. Alexander be-
ing the only one who was with he
Browns for the greater part of the 1912
campaign. The st. Louis infeld will be
formed Just as it was last year, but
possibly a new man may be found in
right field.
Frank Chance will keep a few of his
new men for future reference and as
utility men.
Not counting Johnston and Chapman
of Cleveland. who were installed as
first stringers last year and were not
forced to battle for the possession Of
their jobs this spring. there is small
chance Of many of these recruits talk
ing regular berths during the 1913 CAM
paign. Borton has cinched first base
at Chicago. and Agnew will divide the
catching at st. Louis with Alexander.
A recruit may become a regular out
fielder at Chicago and also at st. Louis.
Jennings may find n or two first
string pitchers in his squad. and he is
assured Il good second catcher in Ron
deau. Cullop is the only new Nap who
is now counted as Il regular. and he
will be required to show. No new
men will appear in the lineups of the
Boston. Philadelphia and Washington
clubs unless some of the veterans are
hurt. Derrick Is the only new man to
break into the New York batting order.

TAX HEARING BEFORE
 STATE COMMISSION
Arizona Copper Company, Espee and Pullman Company All Have
 Grievances

The state tax commission at the hearing yesterday of the complaint cf the Arizona Copper company, re- quested the representative of the cop per company, Norman Carmichael to present the question at issue to the commission so that it might be put up to the attorney general for his opinion. The question is as to the assessed valuation of the output of the mines of the company at Clifton, and the quality of the copper that comes from these mines. The com pany argues that the tax commission in fixing the value used the market Of electrOlite copper at 16.3, whereas Ressemer copper at 16.1 should have been used. This will make a differ ence of about $94,OOO in the amount of the assessment.
 The commission stated that the assessed valuation had been approved by the state board of equalization, ard the commission doubted if the figure could be changed at this time, but that it was willing to put the question up to the attorney general.
 The s. P. railway company ap- peared relative to the assessment on certain city lots in the town of Nogales but got no satisfaction from the commission. The claim was made that certain of these lots Were not leased by the company and were therefore a dead weight on the rail- way company and ought not to be taxed. but the answer of the commis- sion was that they had a value and therefore were taxed
 The Pullman company again ap- poared in it's own behalf relative to the assessment on the gross income of the company, but the commission re fused to recede from the figures that have been made

HARD TIME SOCIAL
 PROVES VERY POPULAR

The Sunday school rooms of the Presbyterian church were well filled Thu sday evening by the members of the Christian EnIeavor society. hold ing their October social. Under the di- rection of Miss Elsie Smith, chairman of the social committee, a clever en- tertainment was arrenged which took the name of Hard Time Sociap. Anyone appearing in ordinary dress or better was fined for the luxury and no one was permitted to attend unless he brought his own supper
 After a short business meeting pre- sided over by the president, Thomas Christopher, the fun of the evening be- gan by dividing the entire crowd up into family groups. Each family was expected to put on an original stunt for the entertainment of the rest of the endeavOrers, and considerable in genuity was displayed by the heads of these families. Refreshments were served cafeteria style. The original idea of providing refreshments proved more than satisfactory and enough was left over to make a slight contribution to the poor of the community.

HONe-koNc UNIVERSITY

The HOng-KOng University is now in full operation. It has seventy under graduates in residence, which is many more than the sponsors of the school had even hoped for. The university consequently begins it's career under encouraging circumstances. Some of the students enrolled writes a consul lar agent, have been transferred from the college of medicine-students who may be regarded as doing second, third, or fourth year work. The ma jority of the first year students have elected to be trained in engineering science, and, in fact, one-half of the total number matriculated, including the number entering from the college of medicine, are students in the tech nical cOureses It was the chief ob- ject of the founders of the university to train Chinese along technical lines; to graduate men as engineers for wa terWorks for the development of mines and the extension of railways in China, There are already demands for hun dreds of technically trained Chinese, which al present can not be met, and for years to come the graduates of the Hong-KOng University will have ex- ceptional opportunities for lucrative and brilliant careers in their own coun- try--Indianapolis News.

HERE'S INSTITUTION
 GROWING WITH PHOENIX
Southwestern B. & l. Company Pay: Quarterly Dividend.

One of the institutions of Phoenix which has made progress is the Southwestern Building and Invest ment company. It is home made and of the best of material, too, and it's business is the upbuilding of the town.
 There is no question about the ra- pid, substantial growth of Phoenix, and there is no reason why every person in the city should not be the gainer, be his means ever so meager. One does not have to wait until he has enough money to build a house or buy a lot, he can put his savings with those of others and the returns are just in proportion to the amount he invests, gaining the advantage of combined dollars, making a prOpor- tionally larger return for his share than if he invested himself.
 The investment may be made through the Southwestern Building & Investment company. made up of seasoned business men of successful experience All share alike in the profits of all their transactions. q man with 100 shares gets just one tenth as much as the man with one thousand
 The company was. organized in December 1912, and on July 1st of this year paid it's dividend at the rate of eight per cent per annum at the same time placing an amount in the surplus account that made the stock value $105 Yesterday they mailed in their red envelopes a divi- dend for the quarter ending October 10, amounting to two per cent for the quarter on $1.O5, and placed an other amount in the surplus that makes the stock even higher
 All of this has been paid out of the earnings of the money the com pany has invested and positively not out of money received from the sale of stock.
 In this day of Investments, espe- ciauv in a growing location like Phoenix. an investment of the char acter that pays dividends out of the profits and still adds to the value of the stock quarterly. whose invest ments are represented by deeds to every piece of property they touch is certainly worthy of favorable con sideratiOn.
 It is good business to help those who make Phoenix more valuable every day. by investing in real estate in the city

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE
 OLD NEW YORK

NEW YORK, October 11.-AccOrd- ing to statistics gathered by the in dustrial bureau of the Merchants association. it costs $645, 1000. 900 a Year to feed the inhabitants of New York city. Estimating the population of New York city at four millions, q simple calculation will show that the average cost of keeping one person fed during the year is about $160. Eut averages are greatly deceiving in judging individual cases of the conditions of classes. There are hun Grcds of thousands of persons in New York who spend several times $160 a year for their food, while, on the other hand. there are several millions of individuals in Greater New York who spend considerably less than $16O for their food in a gear; not because they have no appe- tite but simply because they have not the means.
 To distribute the food stuffs ne cessary for the sustenance of the peo- pie of New York city there are about 12,000 grocery dealers and delicat- essen merchants. all of them doing thriving business. Practically all the meats consumed in New York are from the west, particularly Chi cago. Almost the only exception is the Kosher meat which comes from animals slaughtered by Jewish butch CTS right in the city.
 What the inhabitants of New York city consume is but a trifle com pared with the enormous quan titles of foodstuffs handled in this city. Shiploads of foodstuffs arrive here daily and are distributed from here t9 all parts of the world. New York is also the distributing point for nearly all the foreign delicacies, wines. liquors, etc, and for large quantities of fruit coming to this country from foreign countries.

It broke out in pimples first and then seemed to run together in some places. making a sore about the size of dime. At times the itching and burn ing were so intense that it seemed unbear- able. The more I scratched it the worse it became and there would be slight dis charge from it, especially on my scalp, so as to make my hair matted and sticky close to the scalp. The hair was dry. Hfeless and thin. My hair was falling so terribly that I had begun to despair of ever finding relief My clothing irritated the eruption my back The affected parts were almost a solid scab.

GILBERT IN FAVOR
 OF GOOD ROADS
Action By Commercial Club on the
 Bonding Proposition

The following letter received by Supervisor Orme shows the prevail ing interest in the good roads move ment in this county:
 Gilbert, Ariz., Oct. 9, IS. MT Lin Orme,
 Phoenix, Arizona
 Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Gilbert commercial club last Saturday night they voted unanimously in favor of bonding the county for building roads.
 T myself am heartily in favor of it. I never saw a road built and kept up through direct taxation. I came from Jackson county. Alabama, where a few years ago I have seen farmers come to town and in some places could hardly get through the mud with an empty wagon. Then with all this, when we talked of bonding the county they set up a howl and cried that the taxes would be so heavy that they could not pay them.
 However. after a hard fight. the county was bonded for $25O.OOO, and today the taxes are the same rate as then. Yours truly,
 "L. ". ROREX, Secy."
