Cincinnati, February 21.-As a SEQUEL
to the recent deposing of John Evers
as manager of the Chicago National
League club Charles w. Murphy, pres
ident of that club, today resigned as
president, sold his stock and severed his
connection with the Cubs Murphy
National league. His holdings in the
Chicago club have been purchased by
Charles P. Taft.
The resignation of Murphy from Ma
tional league basebalLwas announced
following a meeting between Governor
John K. Tener of Pennsylvania pres
ident of the National league; Charles
p. Taft of this city; Harry Ackerland of
Pittsburg, a stockholder of the Chicago
club, and John Conway Toole, a di-
rector of the Boston National League
club and legal adviser to the National
league.
The withdrawal of Murphy came af-
ter a four hours conference and solved
situation that had grown decidedly
delicate in National league circles.
While the conference was in session
TIL" presidents of seven National league
clubs were also meeting and discussing
the possibility of an amicable adjust
ment of the Evers case.
National Protected Evers
At the time Murphy obtained Henry
O'Day to manage his club he made an
agreement with James Gaffney of the
Boston club, whereby Evers was to go
to Boston in exchange for Pitcher Per-
due. When Evers heard of the trade
he refused to go to Boston under these
conditions and announced he would not
allow himself to be traded or sold if
Murphy benefited. After a promise
had been obtained from the National
league that Murphy was not beenfited
he agred to play with Gaffney's team
and it was then that steps We're taken
which led up to the sensational climax
reached at todays conference.
Today's development was not entirely
unexpected inasmuch as a few days
ago President Tener called a special
rieeting of not only the board of di-
rectors of the National league, but
also of the league as a whole here to-
day. Apparently no one except Mr.,
Tener knew the exact purpose of the
meeting, although it generally was un-
derstood that the Evers case would be
the principal subject of discussion.

Wisconsin Bankers Say Bis.
 bee Has Very High Attrac- tions and in Time Will Be come Favorite With Tourists

Bisbee as a sightseeing place that no traveller on the southern transcon- tinental routes can afford to pass by, if at all interested in the activities of his country. gained several important boosters the first of the week. when the suggestion and invitation of M. J. Cunningham, Cashier Horace Merrill, of the Benson bank. brought party of Wisconsin bankers and friends here for visit to the mines.
 The party of Wisconsin bankers stopped off at Benson to visit MT. Merrill enroute to the coast Mir. Gun ningham met them at Benson and when the conversation drifted around to mining, as 1t always does in Ari- zona, he suggested that the gentlemen vary their route sufficiently to visit the Bisbee mines and see mining on a scale that would give them proper conception of the vast industry and the great investment it enjoys.
 The invitation was accepted and the party came here. Among other workings they visited were those of tue OndANuih anu Nuu' lntIt they saw the big crystal cave on the 300 level. It appealed to them immensely and was declared alone worth a trip across the continent. The mining in- dustry in the district in general astounded them. They had heard and read a great deal of copper mining. but it was their first direct touch with the industry. The comment they had to make was that it represented a giant industrial line that they had pre- viously had but small conception of the importance of. More than that the location of the city, a veritable hive of the highest industry and pros perity, located in the very crags and peaks of great mountain range and yet enjoying all the modern city con veniences, made it. they said. place which in connection witch the things it had to show under ground. mecca that those crossing the country. par ticularly on pleasure and sightseeing trips, would in time come to make a regular and a favorite stopping place

than there was work for. The large majority of the midwinter arrivals were taken care Of, but all could not be handled. They came to escape the rigors of winter in other camps. and such migration is always attended by the creation Of a surplus of labor in the camps to which the bulk of the migration trends. in the case of Bis bee great deal of the new labor was put at work. The balance has since largely distributed itself among other Arizona mining districts, which in the first rush attracted less attention than in Bisbee, because less we'll known.

MT. Swanson loks fit for any sort of an event. He says it Is because of hard outdoor work on his farm and the attendance of success there.

The soil is there and the climate is uneXcelled. Water Is to be had through shallow wells in sufficient quantity to tide along until one can afford to go deep and get in big well, or put a pump and engine on his shallow well. In the meantime the man who labors industriously, gets his ground cleared and puts in and takes care of a few crops. beside building him house in which he can get along comfortably. will find him. self plentifuliy employed and have no trouble in keeping out of mischief. More than that, the results he will see coming about from his work from the very beginning will be of kind to make him more satisfied than ever with the world and life. know what l am talking about for l have been through it, and I want to say that the ranch has been so good to me and like it's life so well that I positively regret having to leave 1t now and then to attend to other matters"

Once more transportation to and from the coast Is around the normal. The Golden State Limited got into Os- born yesterday morning and the con nection arrived in Bisbee about noon IL carried number of passengers and much belated mail and express
 Passenger Agent G. ". Hums ot the E. P. & $. W. said yesterday Hat 1t was expected that the Limited would be about on time from the coast today. 1t having left Los Ange- les on time yesterday. He also thought from advices received that Limited passengers west bound from this city, who left last night, would arrive in Los Angeles about on time.
 Passengers arriving from the coast continue to bring stories of great dev- astation there by reason of the floods of last week. They say all he rail roads sustained heavy damage and that while they are now operating trains. they are accomplishing this only on very slow running time Tenn porary repair work. replacing many miles of washed out roadbed and bridges and culverts which were put out of commission. is enabling traffic to go ahead. IL will be weeks before the old roadbeds in the hard hit south. ern part of the state are back to ef. ficiency.
 Estimates of the loss sustained by ranchers are still growing. They will run into the millions. with the orange growers the greatest sufferers. Not only have they been prevented from getting dead ripe fruit from the trees to the packing houses in time to pre-. vent spelling but they have also been unable to get transportation to mar. ket from the railroads, by reason of the helpless condition of the latter Further large loss was occasioned by torrents racing through hundreds of groves and tearing out trees.

THRONCS IN THE STREETS TELL
 OF GREAT LOCAL PROSPERITY
ton in Every Hotel, Bosr ing and Roomng Houses with New Home Accommodation Entirely Unobtanable; the
 Surplus Labor Created by Climate Hunters Disappearing

If you have any doubt about Bisbee being a big and active city. step over to the postoffice corner any afternon and stick around between and 5. You may have to have adhesive plas- ter to carry out the sticking around part. for the crowds block the inter secting streets and the plaza at times. but any notion that Bisbee is not the great big mining city that 1t is, will be drawn just as effectively as if one went upstairs at the corner and sub miued a bad molar to the inspec- ton of Doc Hankin.
 It is declared by those who occa- sionlly observe this corner and make up their minds through observation of the crowds as to how things are in the district, that there are by far more people now here than ever before in local history. The best part of 1t is that the majority of the multitude have the lunch bucket habit and make plain display of the fact There are not only more people here than ever before. but there are also more people working. Every business house, every rental agency. every boarding house. ladging house and hotel will give confirmation of this. because with each there is at the present time the largest volume of business they have ever known. And not a rental agency, a boarding house. rooming house nor hotel but that could do a great deal more business than at present if 1t had the accommodations to offer.
 No one knows where all the people now in the district are finding even temporary stopping places. In many of the lodging houses three to six men are occuping single rooms, and glad to get even this poor sort Of ac- eomodation. Throughout the resi- dence districts. people have been i'm plored for spare rooms until there is not a one left. Families are camping in one and two rooms who would eag- erly take over houses Of from four rooms up if they were obtainable. The old signs sticking on some houses. ui- yertising rooms for rent, are delu- sloH anu sndIe, loI they are nle1el. hanging out from force Of habit. Here and there a roomer leaves occasion ally, but his place is filled before he gets around the corner.
 As to employment Of labor in the district there. are comparatively few men now here who cannot get work. The number has decreased decidedly since January. in which the height of surplus labor was here. This surplus was in nowise due to any curtailment of labor in the district, for that has been steadily on the increase the last year It came about simply because more people cane here seeking work
