THE GERMAN VICTORY
 |S THE BIG SENSATION

VALPARAISO, Chili, Nov 5.-The victory of the German fleet under Ad- miral Vonspee, consisting of the crui- sers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, Nurn, berg, Leipsic and Bremea, over the British squadron of cruisers Mon mouth, Goodhope, Glasgow and trans port Otranto, commanded by Admiral Craddock continues to be the sensa- tion of the hour.
 That the Germans were able to sink or scatter the British squadron with only minor damage and small casual ties of two wounded is a subject Of wonder. The Monmouth is known to be lost with practically all of the big crew. The Goodhope, severely damag ed and on fire, escaped in the dark ness. It is believed here that she sure went to the bottom The Glasgow and Otranto took refuge in a Cilean port. Vanspee officially reported that the engagement lasted only an hour Sun day afternoon off the Island of St. Maria.

 GREATEST RIVAL IN DATE GROWING

Then MT. Slater showed some lem ons, lines and other fruit. Aside from the ordinary variety of lemons were some monstrous Ponderosa lemons weighing from pound and one-half to two pounds They are of fine quality.
 Those who sampled the dates de- clared they were the best ever These Arizona dates sell for so cents a pound in New York and the demand is such that it cannot be supplied. Several years ago, when date growing was be- gun in Arizona, the shoots were bought in Algiers for 10 cents each. When the brokers in Algiers saw the demand for the plants here and feared Ari- zona's production, the price was raised to 50 cents each. But still the Ari- zona planters bought, and they're do ing fine, too.
 Figs grow equally as well and there is a large crop this year. Arizona figs are the earliest on the market sometimes being ripe by May 1 Un- like Florida and California, frost scl dom bothers the citrus fruit growers in Arizona.

Arizona, right here in the good old U. s. A., soon is to rival Arabia in the produc- tion of dates and already pro- duces as fine a quality of cit rus fruit as California or Florida. This assertion is made by Percy Slater, train master of the Southern Paci- fife railway, whose headquar- ters are in Yuma. MT. Slater is in Kansas City visiting rel atives and he has with him the goods" to prove his statements.
 While as yet the supply is limited, Arizona produces the finest lemons, oranges and grapefruit grown any where," says MT. Slater. Its climate is ideal for the grow ing of citrus fruit and with the completion of the Yuma irrigation project, Arizona will be we'll known as citrus country as either Florida or California"

In all the annals of West ern crime in which gunmen have prominently figured, perhaps "Maricopa Slim" Brown, an officer of Mari copa county, and particularly well known at Maricopa, the 5. P. main line station thirty five miles south of Phoenix the state capital, was the best known and most disliked.
 For many years he has kill ed and maimed both good and bad men, who happened to in- cur his diSpleasure, and very many men there are all over the West who have sworn to get him at the first oppor- tunity. Some had seen what to be the oppor- tunity and never lived to tell the story. "Maricopa Slim had an unbroken record for getting the other fellow.
 Eight men have been plant ed near the scene of his en- ployment in Maricopa county, but the ninth victim turned the tables and planted Mari copa Slim" at Maricopa yes terday.

moisture necessary and crops are stored out in the open, because a rain seldom comes.
 The Yuma irrigation project will be completed within two years and will furnish 165OOO acres with moisture from the Colorado river. At present dry, unimproved land in that region sells for $15O an acre.
 While we raise wonderful citrus fruit crops, figs and dates, our alfalfa crop is OFT mainstay," said Mir. Slater. We often raise ten crops in a season the best alfalfa in the world Our seed is in great demand. Cotton is another big crop. This year the planters have not even baled it, but have piled it in great stacks in the field, because of the dull market These stacks look like snow-capped mountains.
 Cattle feeding is a great industry in that region. Climatic conditions are ideal, especially eight or nine months in the year Today, as it is in Kansas City, would be considered a severe winter day around Yuma. -

Barnes circus, which is show
 ing in Yuma today, was shot
 by "Maricopa Slim" in Ari-
 zona three years ago, but re-
 covered, and since then each
 had vowed to "get" the other.
 Last evening they met at Maricopa, where the Barnes
 people were showing. Mari copa Slim to make sure of his
 man, knocked the hat from
 Blacks head to discover a
 bullet scar on his forehead, then, quickly stepping back, drew two big siXishooters and the fireworks began-for Black also drew a gun-and while "Maricopa Slim bored his man three times-once in the back, and two in the breast near the heart; Mari copa Slim" received two bull lets in the head and fell dead, and thus ended the life of one of the most noted man. killers the West has ever known.
 "Sideshow Black" fingered between life and death with three bullets in his body until this morning, when the grim claimed him.
 History will record the name of "Sideshow Black as a benefactor to mankind, tho his own life paid the penalty. Black was known and re- spected by those who knew him best. He had few ene- mics and was regarded as a luiet, unasSuming, careful nan and good citizen. It is generally regretted that such l man had to meet death at he hands of a man so uni Jersally hated and feared.
 The map of the Western ;tates is marked by just such occurrences. It is invariably he case that when bad men whether they are officers )r deSperados-are allowed o continue their killing un- checked, sooner or later a ,ood man loses his life to rid he community of such an un- desirable.
 Among the many unfortu- lateS who have had occasion o meet with abuse from this Naricopa officer and who rave escaped alive there will oe many a sigh of relief at he killing of one, though accompanied with a sincere egret because of the ninth -ictim of a killer.
 The double killing is the ak of Arizona today, as few ccurranceS of recent years las created a greater stir.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. B.
 Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner by c. F. Gates The motorcycle road race
 from San Diego to Phoenix, November 6-8, got an enthu- siastic support at the regular meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, when a unanimous vote was given to heartily support this event, which will both adver- tiSe the city and the south ern route as the ideal trans continental road for motor iStS.
 Byron Naylor proposed the motion which the other direc- tors enthusiastically support ed, Sanctioning the event on the part of the Chamber in urging the support of mer- chants and motorists for the event which is being conduct ed by the San Diego and Phoenix motorcycle clubs, who have to each raise $500 for the $1,OOO purse. To- show that they believed what they preached every one off the ten directors subscribed cash toward the purse to Roy Silva, of the San Diego mo- torcycle club, who was pres ent, and who has the honor of originating this big event last year.
 The committee in San Di- ego does not have the help that the Phoenix boys receiv- ed from the Arizona State Fair, which early contributed pne-half of the Phoenix end of the purse, but San Diego has already raised part of it's share and the motorcycle boys are working hard to get together the balance of their $500.
 It is easier to raise $2,O00I here for an automobile race than to raise $500 for a moi torcycle event like this, al- though this race last year ad- vertiSed San Diego more than the automobile race which only passed through San Di- ego. It is not generally! known that this motorcycle i race last year attracted great attention abroad and even aSi far away as Australia, part ly because of the novelty of the race across the desert, | but because in particular that the time made was faster than could be made by the best automobiles, includingI

the 120 horsepower imported
 machines.
 Now that the automobile
 race to Phoenix is impossible though San Diego worked
 hard to get a sanction-the
 motorcycle race will take its
 place and the Federation of American Motorcyclists has sanctioned it, though affilia- ted with the A. A. A., the big ruling body of the automobile game, which would not Sanc- ton an auto race for San Diego.
 Two of the San Diego con- teStantS in the coming race, Raymond E. Smith, who won second place last year, and Arthur Holmes, who finish ed outside of the money, have just completed a trip over the route, and Smith says that the sand hills below Holtville are more exciting riding than the Switchback railroads of The Race Thru the Clouds"
 The boys were told at Yu- ma that the roads beyond were very bad, but from Phoenix they sent back the message that they did not have to use a wrench on their machines on the whole trip, speaks we'll for the big course and the improvement in machines.
 The beautiful cup donated by J, C. Gandolfo, proprietor of the Gandolfo hotel at Yu-. mo for the first rider to reach Yuma, was seen by MeSSrS. Holmes and Smith and high ly admired. Last year Mr.. Gandolfo gave cup also, is highly treasured b Paul Derkum, who was the winner of the race and also the first man to reach Yuma.
 The Phoenix club has had the free use of the splendid race track there to pull off a meet to raise funds for the race as they did a year ago, but the San Diego boys have no race track to use except that at SWeetWater, and theI owners of that wanted the boys to give them half of all they could take in.
 The San Diego to Phoenix motorcycle race will probably start from the exposition so that the starting picture, which will appear in all the motorcycle journals will ad- vertiSe our coming eXpoSi-I ton.

fellow. annihilate him, and give his
land and his life to the troops for
whom the devout one is praying.
Very interesting. in this day of
praying for victory is quotation
from Mark Twain in an address de-
livered by DR.. Henry Newman be-
fore the Brooklyn Society for ETH
cal Culture:
A few years before his death Mark
Twain wrote an article entitled THE
War Prayer" 1t describes how a
regiment gathers in a church before
it departs for war and prays for vic
tory. AS. the prayer concludes. a
white-robed stranger enters the
church and says:
Il have been sent by the Almighty
to tell you that He will grant your
petition if you desire it after / have
explained to you its full import. You
are asking for more than you seem
to be aware of. You have prayed
aloud for victory, over your foes, but
listen TO the unspoken part of your
prayer and ask yourself if this is
what you desire"
Then the stranger speaks aloud
these implication of their words:
20 Lord help us to tear the SOL
diers of the foe to bloody shreds with
our shells; help us to cover their
smiling fields with the pale forms of
their patriot dead; help us to Law
waste their humble homes with a
hurricane OF fire; help us to wiring
the hearts Of their unoffending wild
ows with unavailing grief. Blast
their hopes, blight their lives, water
their way with their tears"
If those that pray realized what
they are praying for there would be
fewer prayers for victory just now.
