A BULLETIN ON SUPREME COURT

F. B Johns, fat and furious member of the National Press Club in Wash ington, called a special meeting of the membership for the purpose of rescind- ing a step taken by the governors of the club. After the meeting had plain ly instructed. the governors to do the resembling, the governors retired to their room, took vote, and decided that they would go on doing as they had done in the past. despite MT. Johns and his confederates.
 That evening the big man sat in the club and pondered sorrowfully the events of the day.
 Compared to the board of governors of the Press Club" he remarked crisp ly, the senate is thoroughly respon- sive to the popular will, and the United States supreme court is a radical body" The Popular Magazine.

Arizona Asphalt Go. Enters Into Con-
 tract With Local Cement Go.

The Arizona Asphalt Paving company has set the ball rolling in the right di- rection. It has entered into a contract [ with the Arizona Portland Cement company for all the cement that it will use during the next year. The paving company made a thorough inYestiga- ton of the quality of the local cement before concluding the contract, with the result that it believed it to be bet ter for its purpose than any other product, and regrets that 1t had not found out about the excellence of the Arizona cement so that it could have secured it before it undertook the Sec ond avenue contract.
 The paving company has an excel lent equipment and will rush the Sec Ond avenue paving Doubtless it will use a great deal of cement in the course of the year of it's contract With the Arizona Portland Cement company
 This arrangement will have the hearty concurrence of the city since Street Superintendent Thompson some time ago conducted a thorough test of the local cement and found that it exceeded all the requirements of the American Society of Civil Engineers

pr. Alberto Diaz Viscarra Arrested in Tempe for Not Having Com
 piled With the Law

Dr. Alberto Diaz Vizcarra, suave, plump, and a very good talker d relative of Porfirio Diaz and General Felix Diaz. who. according to his business cards, is "Graduado en Mexico" and "Especialist en En- fermedades Cronicas de Ambos SeXas,' was arrested yesterday by Marshal R. C. Estrada, of Tempe "n a charge of practicing medicine N ithout a license. The doctor, who claims to be a homeopath, stated to the officer that he was unaware that the state required a physician to register, although it is said he has been warned several times to cease practice until he had passed the state examination.
 When Nizcarra was arrested he was busy reading some homeopathic journals printed in Spanish and he objected very strongly to having his studies interrupted in such a sum mary manner. The marshal. however, allowed him to collect his medical literature and then took him over to the iatl
 Later in the evening Constable Murphy went over to Tempe and took charge of the doctor and brought him to the county jail
 Nizcarra was silent regarding the reasons why he left Mexico and re- fused to comment upon either party now contesting for supremacy in the land of frijoles Business during his stay in Tempe was not very lucrative as the most of his patients were people of the poorer class who are as q rule unable to pay large sums for medical attendance
 Vizcarra will be given a hearing some time this week. but before which court is not Vet known.

 WANTSOME HOSE
Representative Residents of North Side Will Go Be fore Common Council To night Asking for Better Fire Protection

When the common council meets this evening in regular session, it ! will be waited upon by a delegation
 from the Evergreen section of Phoe- nix asking that better fiTe protec-
 ton be given the north end of town. ! At present the nearest fire apparatus is located nearly one and d quarter 1 miles from the center of that district. and some of the residences within the | district entitled to protection are at | least one and one-half miles from the
 fire station. The fire of Monday evening at the rear of the nearly completed residence
 of Dr. A. N Nichols burned for eight l minutes after the alarm sounded be-
 fore water was finally turned upon i it. The department made just as 1 speedy run to the blaze as was pos sible without killing the horses. It 1 was the work of but few minutes to eXtinguish the blaze once q stream began playing upon the flames Had 1 there been d hose wagon or small chemical outfit within easy distance. ! the loss would have been much | smaller. These are some of the facts that will be presented to the com mon council tonight.
 There will be d proposition from Dr. Nichols which will likely interest the city fathers By reason of the
 fire. which occurred in his garage.
 where he had all his household goods
 stored pending the completion of his
 residence. it will be necessary to re
 build that structure. Now. pr. Nich- ClS proposes that if the common coun- Cil will authorize the purchase of some fire fighting apparatus. either q hose reel or d hand chemical he will so construct his garage that ade- quate storage for the apparatus will be available without cost to the city
 Dr. Nichols lives at Wnetta and Fourth streets This is in the cen ter of q thicllly populated district and quite remote from the fire engine house. A small equipment it is point ed out, might be the means of pre- venting a serious conflagration by reason of it being quickly at hand. | Councilman McElroy of the First ward has already given his approval 1 to the plan and will likely be found !, to take the matter to the floor of the | common council tonight

IDLE BOY RULES THE CITY

Very few people realize how far the destinies of great city are taken charge of by the idle boy. The one place where votes form naturally in punches, ready to the hand of the pro fessional politician, is in the gangs 'of youths just coming into manhood, into which a large part of New York and Chicago and other cities naturally divide themselves. And the apprentice politicians who take charge or them is, naturally the idle boy. who is de veloping the physical and social traits of leader. The more crooked the gang. the mere votes it will cast: and by natural sequence. the wise boys" graduate suCcessively to take charge of city gopernments.
 It is the idle boy, also, who takes over the social life of the city. Dances and "rackets" are his by right of lead ership In the teens the instinct of sex huntiny develops in the gang, anu is directed by the idle boy-George Kibbs Turner in McClure's Magazine.
