PARCEL POST EXHIBIT
 TO SHOW TRADE FACTS
It Will be Demonstrated at the Fair How CheapIy Articles Can be Sent.
 Mail Order Business
 BY C. B. WOOD

At the suggestion of the postmaster
 general, we have decided to make. a
 parcel post exhibit at the Arizona
 state fair.
 This exhibit is for the purpose of
 demonstrating to the public generally
 what parcels can be sent from Phoenix
 by parcel post to other localities and
 to the different parts of Arizona par
 ticularly. This is for the purpose of
 stimulating trade by making prac- tcal showing of the varied articles that
 can be sent, how they should be packed
 or wrapped for transmission, and how
 cheaply, and safely and quickly they can be dispatched and delivered by the parcel post system. Phoenix is the largest city in this great southwest of ours, and is the natural and logical distributing point for the vast territory which includes Arizona, New Mexico, q portion of California and other states. The business men of Phoenix and
 the farmers in the vicinity thereof
 should be quick to appropriate these
 markets, if not, others will.
 Already the greatest mail order houses of the different parts of the
 United States are flooding the coun- try with their catalogues and telling
 the people how cheaply the various articles that we need and use in our
 daily life can be sent to them by parcel
 post, and vast quantities of this mat
 ter is passing through the Phoenix | post office.
 Some of our own merchants are keenly alive to the opportunities pre- sented and are working up quite a business and I suppose very profit ! able one through this channel. But, on the other hand, others are either neglecting or are not aware of the splendid opportunities presented for in creasing their trade and augmenting | their profits.
 The exhibit at the fair will be under
 the charge of Edward w. Oakley if
 nance clerk of the post office, who will either write to the merchants or call upon them for the loan of articles for
 the purpose of making this exhibit.

CONSPIRACY
 CASE HA[TS
 0N DEMURRER
Defense Scores When Judge Sawtelle Announces He Will Give Prosecution Till This Morning to Prove Case Indictable

Interposing q demurrer to the in dictments charging attempts to incite a rebellion on the part of the Pima Indians. the defense in the famous Mexican conspiracy case yesterday effectually blocked the prosecution and forced the burden of proof that there does exist a case indict9ble under federal law upon Assistant United States Attorney S. L. Pattee.
 Attorneys Richey and Dick argued their side of the demurrer immedi ately after it's presentation at eleven o'clock. The filing of the demurrer followed the regular not guilty plea, and started the case that has caused more widespread interest than any other on this terms calendar.
 MT Pattee for the United States came back after the noon recess, and instead of beginning the prosecu- tion's argument on the demurrer, askedVfor a leeway until this morn ing, sN that he might go through the papers in the case and find basis for his pleading. The impression prevailed that the prosecution was not very well satisfied with the fab ric of it's case. Judge Sawtelle said or learning the United States wanted more time:
 If the case rest here, I will sus- tain the demurrer"
 Leaving matters in this shape makes it necessary for the prosecu ton to prove that the offenses as charged in the indictments. are in dictable under the United States law, or else see the case thrown out of court. MT. Pattee admitted that the state courts would have much less to contend with in getting jurisdiction rroven, and in finding indictments that would stand the test, than would the federal court
 Attorney Dick, one of the defend ing lawyers, claims that the federal statute imposes no definite sentence in cases where the charge is merely melting Indians to disorderly acts. '1 believe the only way to get at it is with civil suit he said but I dent think they could recover much damages from these poor Mexicans."
 If the case goes to trial Judge Sawtellc is anxious that it be hast ened as much as possible in the in terests of economy. So the attorneys consented to be ready to continue their argument this morning at nine o'clock.

Divorce as a Luxury.

DR.. Anna Shaw, the well known
suffrage leader, Is in favore of federal
control of divorce. She insists that di-
vorce should not be a mere luxury of
the rich, but should be within the
reach of every purse. ut now costs an
unnecessarily large sum for a person
of either sex to obtain a divorce, even
on most sufficient grounds, thus max
ing it virtually imnossible for the
poor to indulge in divorces" Dr. Shaw
said recently "Rich persons, on the
other hand, are enabled to break the
bonds of wedlock when there is clearly
no cogent cause. Such a system is un-
fair. The absurdities of existing di-
vorce legislation in several states have
been fostered by masculine minds, not
by women. 1t should be made illegal
for any individual who finds life with
one made unsatisfactory to remarry
within year after being divorced"
A satisfactory national divorce law
could be formulated, she says, only
with the aid of women, and If it were
taken out of the hands of lawyers. DR..
Shaw believes If marriages were made
more difficult, then divorces would di-
minish

AS WORK ON THE ANNEX WILL
BE DELAYED MATTER WILL
BE TAKEN UP WITH BOARD -
BADLY NEEDED.

Judge Harreld, teacher of the Bar
.aca class of the Broadway Baptist
church, stated yesterday morning that
he was going to bring up the ques-
ton of Immediately installing the
shower baths at the Baptist church
before the board, as there was going
to be some delay in beginning work
on the new annex. This, he says
can be done, as the present location
of the basement of the church is
where the baths are to be located
and some other arrangements can be
made for the Baraca class until the
annex is finished.
The shower bath would be a great
inducement for young men of the
city to join the class and in addition
the reading room would likewise be
a drawing card.
The delay in beginning work OIL the
building arose over some unforeseen
difficulty in perfecting the arrange
ments for securing the funds, but
this will be remedied and the build
ing erected before the winter is over.
Aside from the social features this
annex will afford, the room is badly
heeded by one or two classes other
than the Baracas, for which it will
be primarily built.

before the unpleasantness between
the United States and Mexico was
staged over half a century ago, and
distinctly remembers many stirring
events which took place at that time
In 1881 Mr.. Jett, together with other
cattlemen, trailed a herd of cattle
from Matagorda on the gulf coast
along the old trail that passed just
west of the corporate limits of the
present city of Ardmore, and stated
that it was just about as hot and
dusty at that time as it is now
They were en- route to northern
Montana with this bunch of cattle,

to find water
He was taken to the top of the
court house today and as he gazed

out the old trail and where is now a
thriving, flourishing city, his cattle

In speaking of the Mexican situG-

warm favorite with every Amcri-
can living along the border, that he
was a man of his word, who knew
things, and was the real liberator of
Mexico, and would be recognized as
such some day.

Villa personally for 20 years, and in
