BRITISH ATTORNEY GENERAL
HAS HAD BRILLIANT CAREER
Sir John Simon's Appoint
ment Approved on All Sides
May Be Successor to
Mr.. Asquith.

London. Nov. s-The young bloods Of
the Cabinet. Winston Churchill and Lloyd
George, will have TO look to their laurels
now that Sir John Simon has reached
Cabinet rank as Attorney General.
Sir John is one year Older than Winston
Churchill. who IL now thirty-nine, but Is
much younger in appearance and spirits.
and there is no man In the country who
is looked to TO go further than he Is. He
has one advantage over most OF his fell
low members OF the Cabinet in that he is
popular both on his own'side Of the House
and among his opponents. and never has
promotion been more generally APP
proved than was his
In fact, Sir John had the distinction.
which has seldom fallen to a Liberal Min
lister since Home Rule was first taken up
by the party. OF being approved by an
Ulster newspaper.
The new Attorney General has had an
astonishingly brilliant and rapid career
OF success and Is often spoken OF as
possible successor TO Mr.. Asauith as
leader Of the Liberal party. He is a
stanch radical, but breaches his doctrines
in a way which. while effective. does not
offend his opponents. At oxford. where
he was a brilliant member of the Union,
his chief opponent was +. e. Smith. the
equally brilliant Unlonist lawyer. and in
the House of Commons they are always
pitted against each other.
Unlike most great lawyers. he is as
effective on the platform as at the bar,
and. besides. has accomplished what
many OF them have failed to do-attained
the House of commoY manner" quiet
conversational way OF speaking which
holds the audience without any attempts
at flights OF oratory.
Sir John is as fearless as he is brilliant

lots costing Sl1,500, and assurance
from Olympia that the legislature
will pass a bill donating the Spo-

LING ASKS FOR
RETENTION OF BARRACKS

WASHINGTON. March 10-Na-
tional Committeeman Reese NJ Ling
from Arizona, accompanied by the
Secretary of Navy, yesterday waited
upon the Secretary OF. War in be-
half of the retention of Fort Whip
pie barracks. Mr.. Ling was we'll
received by the Secretary and was
promised that nothing would be
done to the fort until he was off
cially notified.
A determined effort will be made
by the western Senators and Con-
gressmen to bring about the remov-
al of Newell from the head of the
Reclamation Service. Practically
every western man is arrayed against
Newell, and Congressman Hayden
is of the opinion that his removal
will be one of the first acts of the
administration of the new. Secretary
of the Interior, Mr. Lane
Mr. Lane has strong western sem
timents and the farmers of Arizona
will have a strong friend in the In

senators and congressman left yes

Panama
Carl Hayden and wife accompa-
MED the gentlemen. They expect to
be absent three weeks on the trip.

iona will be named within a few
days.

proceedings. The committee is en-
tirely mistaken in the belief that
the auditor is not consulted in mat
tiers affecting purchases for and the
management of the States institu-
tions. He has been freely consult
ed, both at the Boards formal meet
ings and concerning actions taken
at other times, and while it is true
that his acquiescence in the Boards
actions has not been demonstrative,
it has not been wanting, and with a
few recent exceptions yet to be de-
termined, has been supported by his
drawing of warrants to which, with
out the authority of law l am sure
he would not have given his sane
ton.
To the charge that the Board of
Control is a one-man Board, it is
perhaps unnecessary to say more
than l have; but l wish to venture
the belief that l was elected
Governor of Arizona as a one-man
Governor, and, while l am always
willing and anxious to have the ad-
vice and cooperation of every con-
scientious official, every honest citi-
zen, every true friend and every sin
cere well-wisher for the States
good, with that understanding 1
hold myself, without qualification or
condition, responsible to the people
for my acts. The theory that the
Governor, who is chosen to be the
chief executive of the State, and is
invariably, as he should be, held ac-
countable for the success or failure
of his administration, should be di-
vested of his authority while re-
lieving him of none of his respon-
sibility, is not only unfair, unbusi-
nesslike and unsafe, but absolutely
unprecedented
l must add that deplore the
tendency, wherever and whenever it
appears, to consider matters affect
ing the States welfare from a view
point neither so broad nor so wise
as true, unbiased and unselfish pa
triotism, without thought or con-
sideration for the relationship such
matters bear to individuals who
may or may not be personally ad-
mired, would dictate. Commenting
this thought to your earnest con-
sideration, and assuring you of my
hope that your further labors may
be distinguished for their wisdom,
their honesty and sincerity, l have
the honor to be,
Very respectfully

E. B. GAGE IS DEAD
IN SAN FRANCISCO
(From Thursdays Daily.)


R. H. Burmister received a tele-
gram from his son in San Fran
cisco yesterday which conveyed the
surprising news of the death OF
E. B. Gage in that city at go
o'clock in the afternoon. While it
was known that Mr.. Gage was in
poor health, it was not believed
however, that he was in a serious
condition, letters recently stating
that he was able to walk around
and transact business.
The deceased was one of the best
known mining men in the west, and
was prominently identified with the
mines of Tombstone in 1879 and at
later periods. Other sections oc-
cupied his time and attention, par
ticularly the Congress in this coun-
ty, when he made Prescott his
home for several years. Aside from
his mining business he figured pro-
minently in other industrial pur-
suits, and was withall one of the
progressive citizens of Arizona, and
of the most generous also.
He leaves behind a legion of
friends in all walks of life, from
the miner to the banker, from the
artisan to the merchant, in all his
death is to be sadly regretted.

(From Thursdays Daily

(From Thursdays Daily
By the decision of the Supreme
Court of the State, rendered at
Phoenix yesterday, affecting the
status of various justices of the
peace elected there follows a judici-
al stampede in this county, as we'll
as CONSERVATION over the final dis
position of this matter, in certain
channels affected.
The Board of Supervisors took
the whip in hand at recent meet
ings and filled the various offices
desired with those of their choice,
disregarding the probable outcome
of the question that was instituted
in the courts of Cochise county, in
resisting the official action above.
On appeal the higher court has
sustained the action taken, and the
outcome has been welcomed by
those unseated, and condemned by
those who were favored Those
who are permitted to resume their
judicial duties, under the higher
court decision, are Judge Chas. H.
McLane, of this precinct, who not
only was selected, but also was ap-
pointed.
Judge Denison again gets into
harness in Jerome, and succeeds w.
S. Adams, appointed.
Judge Geo. w. Hance assumes
the bench again at Camp Verde,
and E. B. Mulholland, appointed re-
tires.
Judge NJ. T. Knapp of Mayer. was
also among the fortunate ones, and
will succeed w. H. Wheeler, ap-
pointed.
Judge J. NJ. w. Moore, who was
compelled to retire as the second
justice of the peace of Prescott
precinct, under the decision rend-
cred. will again handle the gavel.
Judge Sheivley of Ash Fork, is
favored also, and again goes into
the judicial harness.
Judge Marks, appointed to fill a
vacancy, holds over at Crown King.
Judge Nall, of Seligman, appoint
ed, must relinquish the office in the
near future.
Judge E. E Breed, of Mt. Union,
duly elected, and compelled to re-
tire will again assume the office
of that precinct.
Judge MONDAY, elected as we'll as
appointed. will continue to preside
over Humboldt precinct.
John Luke, of Congress Junction,
appointed, must retire from the Of
fee.
Judge Dave Foley, of McCabe, re-
moved under the ruling although
duly elected, again assumes the dig
nifty of the Office in that mining
center. He was the recipient of
heary congratulations on the out
come from scores of friends in this
city, where he has been residing
since his law shop has been nailed
up. He ordered an auto and left
for the Blackstonian headquarters
Immediately after the glad hand was
extended him. He states there has
been a swamped docket in that min
ing camp and now the calendar will
be called and the disputes, minor
as we'll as gigantic, sent through
the revolving amalgamator of his
legal grist mill. He was met by
fifty miners on his return, and at
last accounts the musty Office was
being cleaned out by the blower
from the old McCabe mine plant,
steam being gotten up especially
for the purpose and to sound a
shrill slogan FRONT he whistle on
his triumphal entry into a town
he has known so we'll for the past
thirty years.
