IF WE WERE RICH THIS
IS WHAT WE'D DO

The Hatton Free Press is re-
sponsible, for the following spasm
What blessed thing it would
be if we could run newspaper
and never ask one of it's sub-
scribers to pay up. AS long az
a. paper goes on week after week
and no statement is sent for ar
rearages, everything goes like
clockwork and we are one of the
best and most accommodating
editors on earth; our paper is
the best in the country; our item
are highly polished; our advice
followed; your sayings gladden.
the hearts of the household and
happiness reigns supreme. But,
oh, what a brute we are after
sending a paper two or three
years for nothing, if we politely
send you bill and ask for what
is due or portion of it. "Our
ratty old paper is NO account. [
just took it to accommodate
you; no one in the family reads
it; we can get free reading mat
ter at the drug stores" and hun
dreds of other mean contemplate
things hurled at the editor and
his paper. If we would not ask
anyone to pay for this paper
we would not print it.

The people Of Wasliburn were
unusually fortunate last Friday
afternoon in having chance to
hear a real militant suffragette
from England. Miss Annie Ken.
ney is touring this state to- fine
out how the women here are
asking for the vote. She is not
a mannish, militant appearing
woman but a very pleasing per-
son to meet and hear speak.
She arrived on the noon train
from Bismarck and was an
nounced to speak at the Opera
House at one o'clock. Extra
chairs had been placed in the
hall and still the back of IT,;
room was lined with men who hao
to stand.
Miss Kenney stands next to
Mrs. Pankhurst, the most famous
suffragist in England. These
women are not doing any cam
raigning during the war but are
turning all th, ir energy to Red
Gross work
The speastr was introduced by
Mayor C. G.. Forbes who said he
was pleased to have the honor
of intl oducing SO noted wo-
men to the citizens of Washburn

SIaIlng a rev reasons why the
right to vote should be given TO
women and told how conditions
would be if the men insisted that
the woman's place was in the
home and all women would give
up their positions and go to
live with their nearest male re-
lative. But in her main address
she told of the militancy side Of
the question in England and
how it all started.
! The women Of England worked
peacefully for forty-five years 20
get the vote but there was no
prospect of success and other
methods had to be tried to get
even hearing. At first they
attended meetings and quietly
asked for the vote. This was
called a disturbance and they
were. removed from the hall.
Later they We're prohibited from
even entering so they held meet
ings outside the door and these
Prov d more successful than
those held by the men inside.
Miss kinney stated that the
country as a whole is not oppose
to sui mifrage, as thousands at
tend their meetings and financi.
ally support the movement, but
the few political ringleaders are
the, whole cause Of the trouble.
Stupidity and obstinaEcy on the
part. Of these leaders is he great
obs gacle these women are fight
ing.
The filst window smashing
that was done was when the wo-
men were not allowed at the po-
litical meetings and they dccid-
ed they would 90. They climbed
to- the top Of the windows on
the outside and broke one pane
Of glass SO their voices could be
heard and said "What about
votes for women?" After that
the outside Of the building was
guarded. In every step they
took they were checked and
they were finally forced to re-
sort to- tricks Of all kinds in Or
der to gain a hearing f any sort
| Miss Ktnney has been in pris-
on eleven times and has under
gone a number O. thirst strikes.
During these strikes they an
nounce they will neither eat nor
drink and after three days
the ir condition becomes so weak
that the officials let them out
as they are afraid the women
will die. They found that by
going on thirst strike was the
quickest way to get out Of Jail.
She described the prisons in Eng
land as being a disgrace to any
civilized naticn.
Miss Kenney gave her audience
the side Of their life that is not
printed in papers. Only the
acts Of vandalism are allowed 10
be published in England and the
world at large gets most
biased viewpoint.
She said ;f the women i'm this
state and other states in the
Unicn We're given the vote it
would help the cause in England
and for that reason she is giving
her time to this work in this
country.
Miss Kenney left, on the after
noon train for Bismarck. She.
visited other towns in the state
this week and them went to
Montana.

 Thereafter all committee heads, whether members of the board of di. rectors or not will be nolihed of all directors meetings and asked to at. tend. Committee work win therefore receive an attention which it has only received fin special instances in the past Its importance is recognized by the board and the assistance of the committeeman as well as the chairmen will be courted on all oc. caslons.
 Secretary Gray stated that at a lat. CT meeting he would present for the approval of the board plans for the widening of the field of operations of the club which lie hoped. if carriel out, would give Co 1t a force and pres. dge such as is enjoyed by no similar organization in the southwest.

WASTE OF FAIR
 FUNDS OPPOSED
Commercial Club Warns Bis. beetles Against Signing Petition Calling for State
 Buildings at 2 Propositions

Within short time petitions for the initiation of measure appropri. ating $4O,000 for lhe San Francisco exposition and $35.OOO for the San Diego exposition may be expected to make their appearance in Bisbee. Al ready they are being circulated in Phoenix. Those back Of the move ment hope to borrow the money in advance of its becoming available if Their proposition should carry.
 That If the plans of the two exposi. ton committees shall be carried out the greater part of the proposed ap. propriations will be wasted in the opinion of the directors of the War. ren District Comercial Club. It was pointed out to them by the secretary Shat he learned in Phoenix that the commission intends to erect two s.ate buil dings one at each exposition, and install exhibits in those buildings in. stead of fin the exhibit palaces. He dired.ed their attention to the cost of erecting such buildings in compar- ison to an ordinary installation of exhibits in the palaces that are pre- pared for them.
 If buildings are erected by the com. missions from the comparatively small sum that IS available. those build. ings, their cost of maintenance and the eNpense of two commissions oc- cupying them will make great hole in the s75,000 and leave sum insuffi- mcient to gather an exhibit shat would be in anyway creditabie to Arizona. It is conservative to say that half of the sum would be required for the building and expenses.
 Al. expositions the state buildings In the past have been little more than club houses or meeting places with few exhibits in them, not visited by others than those directly interested in the state for some reason. In the exhibit palaces the exhibits are seen by all who pass through such palaces and it is to them Chat the thousands go.
 The directors of the Commercial Club favor exhibits in the palaces, the spending of the entire amount for such exhibits, and strongly oppose a J.ate pulling for Arizona at either exposition. They will write to the two commissions asking that they de. clare for the plan endorsed by the club If such declaration is made it u,ilI ha urped thA, the measure be adopted at the polls but otherwise the directors ask the citizens of the Warren Distrid. to refrain from sign ing the initiative petition and later. if it shall be initiated, to vote against l.he willful waste of state funds.

in the summer and the impossibility of getting the fire equipment, in such an emergency up Tombstone Canyon.
 lt has repeatedly been stated, moreover, that with the establishment of another fire station in the city the fire rates would be materially reduced. A letter was received by the fire chief some weeks ago. relative to the mat. ter. from the insurance surveyor of the State lt was said in the letter that another survey of the city would have to be made but from the general feeling of residents who have had ex. perience of this kind it is thought that more protection from fires would. undoubtedly. reduce the rates.
 The report of the committee will be made to the City Council. upon the findings, in a very few days.

WANT PAVING IN
 BREWERY GULCH
Property Owners in Business District Above the Present Line of Improvement Will Petition Council for Action

Agitation was started yesterday in Brewery Gulch above the end of the stred. paving fer the improvement ot ehat important trate center by the ex. tension Of the street paving, at least .hroush ,.he business district, and pre- ierabiy on up the Gulch.
 l. c. E. Adams heads the movement and says that it will be taken before 1he next regular meeting of the c.ty council. backed by strong petition rom property owners. Mir. Adams eays that the rapid growth of business activity and population up Brewery Sulch, beyond the termination of street improvement, makes further paving a matter of much need.
 Yesterday the property owners in. .erYiewed were pointed to accummu. lations of rubbish and filth along the unpayed portion of the s.reet in the business locality. It was said that until paving was provided the keep Ing of the street clean of such unde- sirable accommodations was out of the question, d. least with the present facilities of the city for street clean ing. Rubbish in the street in this part of the town gets iss only ssatis- factory cleaning up in the storm per. lods. when water rushing down the Canycn makes a clean sweep.
 It was suggested that there migh appropriately be made another clean; up day particularly set aside for Brewery Gulch atlove the paving line. and that the property owne. $ and the G.y street department join in a comtined heroic effort to get this street in a sanitary conditicn before the coming of spring and then adopt some measure of which the city could find way of maintenance for keeping down the undesirable situa- ton of the immediate present as much as possible. All of this of course, to be looked upon as merely tempor- ary and the big movement for real Eaying go on unabated in the inter i'm. Property owners joining in the program yesterday said lshat they considered the need of a little paw ing in this locality and at the upper end of lMain street, for the benefit of business interests there, to seem a great deal more tp the point at this time than paving on Naco road.

Bisbee Party Finds Suspicious Encampment Near Sonora Line - Men Well Supplied and Heavily Armed.

Wm. Bardon returned yesterday from an outing trip. with which was combined lhe inspection of some min. ing properties, in the southwestern corner of the Huachucas Returning home, MT. Barden said yesterday. his party encountered the camp of about n dozen iIexicans within half a mile of the sonora border, on the American s'ds. The men had horses and what looked Co be large supply of am intuition in boxes. They were all heavily armed, some having guns in hand as we'll as on their saddles.
 Mir Bardon said that it looked like a possible reception committee ar. ranged for General Carranza among his friends and the enemy. In the near neighborhood, rancners said the men had been camped near Toole spring fer several days and that Ithey had been kept under surveillance in the belief that they were possibly cattle rustlers or cattle smugglers expect ing to run a bunch of hoofs over from ,,he Sonora side. although 1t was con sidered not at all improbable that they had a more sanguinary mission in assc citation with the coming of the chief of the Constitutionalists
 Mr. Bardon says \lhat things gen erally are looking good in the Hua. chucas and that there are evidences of considerably more prospecting and mining than in some time.

Commercial Club to Start Campaign of Greater Ac. tivity in Warren District Improvements.

Extensive plans for widening the scope or ',he work Of the Warren Dis. trict Commercial Club for better. ments and improvements in the dis. trict and along publicity lines are to be undertaken by the board of dI. rectors of tha. organization. The first step in that direction will be an awak. ening Of activity among any members Who have permitted their interest In the club and its work O lag and a systematic membership campaign to increase the membership to the size which the past successes of the club deserve. This will permit Of a still further degree of usefulness and the carrying iL.o effect of the other W9ns that are soon to be announced. AZ the meeting of the directors of the Commrcial Club he'd Wednesday night variety of business was trans acted Reports were received from the secre.ary membership committee. Lowell Sidewalk committee. Bisbee station committee and Lowell Jail committee. That of the secretary was triei, covering merely the road pay. ing muddle, since Secretary Gray has only been back in his old position for -hree days. He stated that he was tamiliarizing himself with mat.

 The Lowell sidewalk committee re ported on the length or the proposed walk and it's probable cost. Its rec. concentrations were approved and the secretary instructed 70 take up with the Lowell Club the carrying of those recommendations into effect The cost of the proposed improvement will be about s95O.
 The committee on l.he Lowell jail reported the circulation Of a petition for a new building which should in- clude justice cour; room and jury room as well as cells. Secretary Gray reported further that the pdition had been presented to the board of supervisors anl by them tabled until the work of installing new cells in the county jail at Tombstone shall becompleted.

INSPECTION MADE OF SITES FOR
 PROPOSED CANYON FIRE STATION
Fire Committee of City Counci with the Chief of the Fire Department, Investigate Conditions and Sites Along Upper Tombstone Canyon and Will Report Later Favorable Opinion Expected.

From all indications. resulting frop, formal inspection of the locality and of the proposed sites. it is practically certain the fire committee of the, City Council will recommend the establish. ment of a sub fire station in Tomb stone Canyon The committee of the city's goveirng board, accompanied by Barney Norton chief Of the fire department. looked over the entire ground yesterday afternoon, and will report at a special meeting of the council.
 The action of the committee yes terday followed the presentation to the City Council last Tuesday night of petition bearing the signatures of 134 residents of Tombstone Canyon and vicinity asking that adequate fire pro. lection be given their property. The council, without discussing the merits or the matter, referred the petition to the fire committee and asked the fire chief to accompany them on the trip of inspection.
 There are two feasible locations along the canyon, which the commit tee inspected yesterday afternoon. One lot is said to be owned by the city. It is located just north of the bottling works on the same side of the road. This lot, however, is considered too small for the purposes for which it might be intended should the council decide to put a fire station in the locality.
 Another lot was looked at which is just across the street from the bottling works. This lot is large enough for the establishment and erection of a good fire station.
 After making the inspection the committee was noncommittal on the subject of its report to the council but the inference was given out that they were in favor of such a station.
 The matter of sub fire station in upper Tombstone Canyon has been agitated for some time by the resi- dents of the section of the city The argument has been advanced that the property located along upper Tomb stone Canyon is practically at the mercy of fire. That the city has been foriunate in the past year in escap- ing any bad conflagrations is due more to luck than any possibility of the fire departments protection. This fact 1t is stated does not detract from the present efficiency of the fire de. partment, as it is said to be practi- -cally impossible for the apparatus 10 make a run to Upper Tombstone Can yon and make any time.
 Another argument advanced for the establishment of branch station is the liability of floods along the plaza
