WOMAN TACKLES BOLD BURGLAR
 IN HOTEL
Mrs. Julia Pitt Has Exciting Exper- fence at Central Hotel-Quick Response of Officers Lands.
 Man in Jail.

Mrs. Julie Pitt, proprietress of the Central Hotel, made a bold attempt to capture burglar who was ransack ing the rooms of the hotel on Sunday night last.
 Mrs. Pitt, who has her room on the ground floor, was awakened late Sunday night by the noise of foot steps in the hallway on the second floor. She slipped out of her door and took up a position at the foot of the stairs leading to the second story. 1 Within few seconds a stranger came bounding down the stairway. Mrs. Pitt grabbed him by the coat I lapels and demanded to know what he was doing in the house at that hour of the night.
 Someone has been burglarizing the rooms upstairs and I am going for an officer, was the reply
 Yes, and you are the burglar re- piled the proprietreSS.
 With that she grappled with the stranger calling loudly for help In the melee which followed Mrs Pitt was thrown to the floor and a toe on her left foot was broken The intrud- CT, after shaking himself loose from the woman, darted out the front door on the East Side and started across the bridge on keen run.
 Night Officers Mccullough and Gid Thompson were standing near the de- pot, across the river, when they heard a woman scream for help.
 Looking across on the East Side they saw the man dart out of the hotel. Mccullough hurried to the bridge and was just in time to stop the man. t
 Throw up your hands," command ed Mccullough, Where are you hurry in f<, at h ffxr,A <%fk kI,4 ,s-~l-k
 With ready answer the running man replied,
 There's burglar just twenty yards ahead of me, r m trying to catch him.
 There might be one just twenty yards behind you,' was the laconic re- ply of the officer, let's go back and sec
 Mccullough led his man back across the bridge and into the Central Hotel where Mrs. Pitt was waiting and who quickly identified the strang- CT as the man who had been up stairs. Needless to say the culprit was lock ed up.
 It was later discovered that two rooms had been entered on the sec ond floor of the hotel. One was oc- cupied by Mir. Phillips, and another by Mr. Davis. Davis was awaken ed by the man trying to pull his trousers from beneath the pillow He gave the alarm and the burglar made dash for liberty.
 At preliminary hearing the arrest ed man gave his name as w. J. Wat ters and he was bound over on charge of burglary in the sum of $1,- 900 which he was unable to give and is now in the county jail. It is said the man arrived in Clifton as fol- lower of the Campbell United Shows.

 WorsIey's Pet Measures. Abolition of the state senate, the submission of all acts of the legisla- ture to the people, and single tax.
 These are the most prominent fea- lures of two bills introduced by Sena- tor A. A. Worsley. The measure providing for the aboli tion of the senate provides also that the laws passed by the house of rep resentatives shall be passed upon by the people at a special election This is merely measure to bring lawmaking closer to the people, to give them a more direct share in their own government" Senator Wors- ley said.
 The single tax bill is fully as i'm portant in it's way. It directs that each year, for the next five years, 15 per cent shall be taken from the tax on improvements and personal property, and added to the tax on land At the end of five years the taxes on improvements will have been reduced 75 per cent.
 By that time we will know whether we like single tax and may decide not to tax improvements at all,'' Senator Worsley explained. He is all ardent single tax advocate and does not be- lieve that when a man puts up build ing or erec:5 a home he should be taxed therefor, while the man who holds lands or lots for the unearned in crement, refusing to improve at all, Is taxed scarcely at all.
 With single tax the Santa Fe will have to pay taxes that really amount to something on the thousandsof acres 
 MT. Worsley.
 Senator Worsley stated this morn ing that Monday he would introduce a bill to establish state banking sys- tenn and another providing for the erection of a sawmill to saw the tim Der on land owned by the university.
 Should the state banking bill be- come law, a bank would be estab- Iished in each county seat and other branches would be opened as fast as needed. Money would be loaned on real estate at per cent. interest.
 Think of the difference to the peo- pie were it possible for them to bor- row money at 4 per cent. instead of paying the usurous rates of s, 10 and 12" said Senator Worsley.
 The bill for the sawmill is merely a part of Senator Worsley's plan for the utilization of state resources by the state.

Secretary of interior States His Posi-
 tion on Public Land Resources. ..

70 Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane has stated his position with respect to insuring the highest utiIiz- ation of public land resources in a
 case of great importance in which
 much interest is being manifested in
 the Pacific Northwest The Secretary
 recently received through Senator
 Poindexter a telegram from a State senator stating that the legislature Of
 Washington had unanimously passed an act reServing all waters in the
 Wenatchee basin, but that before the act was signed by the governor cer- tain power interests had filed on these waters, and urging the President and the Secretary of the Interior to serve the best interests of the State of Washington by maintaining intact President Taft's Executive order with drawing the 1S,553 acres of reservoir sites involved. Both this Federal withdrawal and the State reservation were made with a view to possible utilization of the water for the irriga- tion of 290,000' acres in the Quincy valley, on the east side of Columbia river, which, as stated in the telegram to Senator PoindeXter, means mill ions to the State of Washington and further development of Quincy Val ley
 The Secretary's letter to Senator PoindeXter points out clearly that he has no intention of revoking the or der Of withdrawal of the public land. He states:
 This action by the Federal Gov ernment was initiated in response to the request of the recent action of the Washington legislature reserving all waters in the Wenatchee water shed it illustrates the type of cooper ation between State and Nation neces- sary to promote the highest utilization and development You may be assur ed, therefore, that no revocation of this Executive withdrawal will se rec commended without first affording full opportunity for the presentation of the views of your constituents and for the complete investigation of the pos sible uses of this river"

WOMEN REGISTER NEW LAW |S
 PASSED
During Next Sixty Days All Women 1 Over Twenty-one Years Can
 Qualify as Electors.
Attention. Ladies'

i On March 14th Governor Hunt sign ed bill which immediately became a law, providing for the registration of voters to begin on March 18th and continue for period of sixty days. The law will permit women of the state, over the age of twenty-one years to enroll themselves upon the Great Register of the County as electors and steps are already under way to inaug-
 urate a campaign for registration of women throughout the state. The registration campaign will be conduct ed by the State Equal Suffrage Lea que.
 Harkl Listenl. You are not re- quired to state your age,
 The mere assertion that you are over the age of twenty-one will be sufficient.
 If you are a militant suffragette and propose to take a lively interest in politics, the first essential is that you place your name upon the Great Reg ister of the County. This can be done any day in the week by presenting yourself at the office of the County Recorder at the Courthouse who will furnish you with the proper registra- tion blank After having complied with the registration law you are a full f1edged elector, qualified under the Constitution of the State of Arizona to vote at all elections jus the same as the male specie.
 It is not probable, however, that the women of Arizona will have the op- portunity to exercise the ballot be- fore November, 1914, the date of the next general election. Several city elections and school elections will occur in the meantime but it will be 1914 before another general state cleo ton will be held.

CATTLE SCARCE IN SOUTHWEST.
 Meat is scarce in Southern Arizona. So many thousands of cattle have been sold from it's ranges in the last few months at the high prevailing g prices that the buyers for home mar kets are finding constantly increasing difficulty in securing sufficient SUD- plies for their trades.
 This condition obtains more mark edly in the south but is prevalent in more or less degree all over the state. New Mexico and Texas are in the same fix. Buyers are hoping that with the coming of the abundant feed, which the rains of the season have made certain, the situation will be re- 1ieved some by the fatteni1 g of herds that have been held from the market. because of poor condition, but they are unable to consider this prospect with any degree of enthusiasm. There is not enough of the withheld kind to make much a dent in the demand
 At present most Arizona meat is coming through Phoenix Holders of cattle at that point make their own terms and it is up to the buyer to take or leave alone. The majority of them have to take. The Fl Paso situ- ation is much the same, if anything, worse San Francisco and Los Ange- les have cornered the greater part of the Arizona and Nevada supply as well as that of the California ranges. Still they are also short of immediate demands.
