When shall we feed it, and when
shall we not? /
Should baby have food durj
ing the night time, and if SO how
often and until what age?
Is there anything else beside
milk which the baby should have?
The questions all seem simple
enough, and a person who may
not have had the experience of
trying to bring up a baby in the
way it should go, might say the
answers should be simple, too. ~
During the first. two days Of
baby's life it should be nursed
four times a day and once al
night. -. ~
From the third day. until it IS
six weeks old, the nursing should
be every two hours during tha

night. -. ~ i. 4 4 u. S. y,
During the period between six
weeks of age and six months,

New York Bankers Ready to Accept.
New York, Dec. 20.-Passage of
the currency bill in Washington finds
the local banking community, which
was none too kindly disposed toward
the measure in its incipient stages,
more or less ready to accept the sal
lent features of the bill.
Changes which the new law must
inevitably bring have been takel
note of recently, and it is not thought
any national bank of Importance viii
carry out the threat, so often heard
a few weeks ago, to relinquish its
federal charter and operate under a
state charter instead.
AS the currency bill in its latest
form has overcome many of the OBJ
jections voiced by prominent tina1-
ciers, it seemed to be the opinion in
financial circles today that the priv
ileges the nationally chartered insti-
buttons would outweigh with most
of them any remaining objections
they might have to the new law.

Of smoke is going to hurt Atlanta as a
growing industrial center--then let the
smoke remain Let it become as thick

Such is the attitude taken by the
leading citizens who are bringing pres

city council to kill the present smoke
ordinance, which proposed a more rig
i'd enforcement of the smoke law.
Atlanta knows what she is aiming
at, and Atlanta's one aim on earth is

Beauty, intellectual development, arch
itecture, music, the fine arts, are all
secondary considerations. Atlanta il

the smoke nuisance is going to hurt
business, then let the smoke smoke.

those who are opposing the new smoke

WILSON Wins
VICTORY over
HELLO TRUST
AMERICAN TELEPHONE COMPANY
AGREES TO GIVE UP OWNERSHIP
OF WESTERN UNION
POSTAL TELEGRAPH
OFFICIALS ELATED
Telephone and Telegraph Trust Has
Been Under Fire Since 1909

New York, Dec. 2O.-Informatiol
from Washington that the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
had agreed to give up it's interests in
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany and to effect a reorganization
to conform with the recommendation
of the federal officials, was no sur
prise to financial men, though not
expected at this time.
The telephone and telegraph COM
pany has been under almost contin-
uous attack since it was effected in
1909 through the purchase of the
large Gould, Sage and Morossini
holdings of Western Union stock by
the telephone and telegraph compa-
ny, in which the various Bell telc-
phone interests had been consoli-
dated.
Ever since that time the telephone
combination has been under investi-
cation of the department of Justice.
1t has been constantly assailed by
Clarence H. Mackay, because of the
sadvantages the Postal and Cable
{ mpanies were placed in through their
alleged lack of telephone facilities of
it's rival the Western Union
Independent telephone interests,
finding it arduous to compete with
local Bell companies, because the
trunk lines of the combination were
closed to them, complained bitterly.
Members of congress from time to
time have proposed investigations or
urged the department of justice to
act on general principles.
Finally, in the last few weeks be-
gan movement for government
ownership of telephone and telegraph
lines. Representative Lewis, of Mary
land, who initiated this move, which
was endorsed by Postmaster General
Burleson in his annual report, just
published, recognized the Importance
Of the through lines, and proposed
that they be acquired by the gov
eminent.
In the course of the fight carried
on by the Postal company and the
independent telephone companies,
there have been numerous lawsuits
and complaints to public service COM
missions, the interstate commerce
commission and the department of
justice.
A suit under the Sherman law,
charging discrimination against the
independents on the Pacific coast, is
now in the federal courts and hear
ings in connection with it have re-
Gently been held in this city.
Financial men here said today that
the separation of the company into
it's parts would not be great diff
Guilty because of their distinct or.
ganization. The difficulty would be
however. in devising an equitable
plan for distribution of the securi-
ties.
The department of justice no long.
er will permit distribution of stock
of the subsidiaries to the stockhold-
ers of the main company prorata, az
in the tobacco and Standard Oil
cases. The supreme court in the

cord against this.

The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-05-09

an unidentified white woman, stylishly
dressed, apparently between 25 and
30 years of age, was found yesterday
below Elysian Grove, not far from
the road, about 100 yards from the
banks of the Santa Cruz river. There
were no marks of violence on the
body, so far as could be determined
and it is the opinion of county Ply
stefan George D. Troutman that the
woman took an opiate, probably NOR
phine, and bridged death with sleep.
She had been dead, according to
the opinion of the county physician,
about 40 hours and the features were
so swollen and partially decomposed
and discolored that Identification by
persons who might have remembered
seeing her was impossible.
Owing to the condition of the body
it was impossible to make post
mortem and the exact cause of death
will never be known
The jurors viewed the body and re-
turned verdict of IAN unknown
whose death resulted from unknown
causes but probably suicide by TAX
ing morphine in a large quantity.
The body was found yesterday af-
ternoon at L 80 o'clock by a Mexican,
Esteven Polanco, who reported the.
discovery to Coroner o. e. Comstock,
II
found and later ordered the county
undertaken o. c. Parker, to remove
it to his morgue, where later it was
viewed by the jurors.
A thorough search was made of the
locality for the container of poison
but nothing was found. The county
physician states that the woman
would have had time to reach the
place after taking the poison at the
grove.
The woman wore blue sailor suit
of serge material, with a white Dor
der around the yoke. She wore a
large Panama hat with a black band
around it, black stockings, tan shoes
with gray cloth upperS, and hand
somely embroidered underclothinG. A
number of the teeth were filled with
gold and the whole appearance of the
body was that of a person in COM
Portable circumstances. The only bit
of jewelry which she wore was
string of coral beads around the neck.
The clothing was neat and clean
The woman weighed apparently
about $50 to 10 pounds, was from 25
to 80 years of age and was well form
ed and rather stout. :?
County Attorney Hilzinger gave in
structions that the body be held at
least through today in the hope that
someone will be able to identify it.
1t is regarded as unusual that no
note or any other article that might
aid in clearing the identity of the wo-
man was found near the body.
