shall see to it. Tomorrow
"There will be no tomorrow about
It," Mrs. Cortlandt exclaimed, posi-
lively. IF you cannot arrange the
bail yourself, my husband will take
up the matter with the zone govern
ment, and Colonel Jolson will call upon
the president of the republic within
an hour. He is waiting word from us
now"
Senior Ramon Alfarez became sud
denly galvanized. He broke into effu-
sive apologies for even so small. a
delay as had already occurred. While,
to be sure, no power was vested in
him. and his willing hands were most
miserably tied nevertheless he would
so far exceed his authority as to
promise instant freedom to the prison
er. He fastened forth to set In mo-
ton the proper machinery, and while
he was absent Kirk told his story. 1t
left the woman white Tipped and in
coherent, and reused even the icy Cort-
landt to genuine wrath.
"Of course" the latter said, "Alfarez
will prove by his men that it's all i'm
agination on your part and that your
injuries Were sustained at the time of
your arrest. He'll assume righteous
Indignation and start Spiggoty inves-
tigation. You see, his father is the gov
ernor Of Panama province and one of
the strongest men in the republic, so
Ramon will probably make good his
position Even so, you may recover
damages"
II don't want damages" Kirk re-
piled. II want to get him out alone
some time"
For heavens sake, don't think of
itp' Mrs. Cortlandt exclaimed. "All the
American influence on the isthmus
wouldn't help you then. Fifty men
would perjure themselves to convict
you"
mo. That method doesn't work
here her husband agreed. You're
lucky to escape so easily. He will ar
range bail, never fear, and you will
probably not come to trial. He'll never
forgive you, of course, but that won't
matter to you"
The first part of Mr.. Cortlandt's pre-
diction was soon proved true, for the
sick alcalde recovered sufficiently to
appear on the scene within half an
hour. Then, after much signing of Off
cial documents and certain other for
malities, Kirk Anthony walked out of
the Colon Jail in company with his
friends
In the midst of Kinks expressions of
gratitude for the timely intercession of |
Cortlandt and his wife, the former
surprised him by saying in a genuine
ly hearty tone:
"My wife has told me all about Won.
Anthony, and want you to come over
to Panama as my guest in the hotel |
until you hear from your father"
When Kirk informed him Of the |

in Panama, Cortlandt replied reassur- |
ingly:
"Oh, well, your father doesn't under
stand the facts in the case, that's all. |
You sit down like sensible person
and write him fully"
Seeing warm second to his invita-
ton In Mrs. Cortlandt's eves Kirk 49,
cepted gracefully, explaining, "You
know this is the first time was ever
up against hard luck, and don't know
just how to act"
We've missed the 435, SO we will
have to return the way we came" said

HON. THOS. FEENEY OPPOSED
TO GILA COUNTY DIVISION
Says this is a Question the Voters of
The State Should Permit Citizens
of GiIa County to Settle Among
Themselves

Hon. ThOs. Feeney, a member of
the Arizona Constitutional Convention
from Cochise County, but now a resi-
dent of Gila county, where he is fore
man of the Miami company, machine
shops, was a visitor in Clifton on
Sunday last, coming here to explain
to the voters the reasons why Gila
county should not be divided. 1t will
be remembered that not long ago petit
tions were circulated in this county
and other counties of the state, pro-
viding that the new county of Miami
should be created, and the PROPOSE
tion comes up for decision by the
voters of the state in the form of an
initiated proposition at the November
election. The people of Gila county
feel that this is a local matter and
should be decided by the citizens and
taxpayers of Gila county without any
states that the proposed new COUNT
OF Miami takes away only one-six-
teenth of the area of Gila county, but
grabs fifty per cent of. the taxable
wealth of old Gila county.
Incidentally Mr.. Feeney is a warm
supporter of Hon. Mark Smith in
his candidacy for e-nonination and
election to the United States senate.
81 receive the Congressional Rec
ord and watch closely every vote of
the Arizona delegation on every prop
osition calculated to effect the
rights of labor or promote it's well
fare. The Record shows that the
laboring men of the country have no
better friend in the senate than Mark
Smith. Besides this, Senator Smith
has attained such influential positions
on the senate committee, which would
not be attainable for any successor
that might be submitted there in his
place, that Arizona cannot afford at
this time to even consider his retire
ment."
Mr.. Feeney left Monday morning for
his home in Miami but expects to re-
turn to this section after the primaries
to continue his campaign against the
decision of Gila county.

'EvERYBODYS"
MAKES AMENDS
In the Publishing by the Magazine a
Retraction and Apology to Former
Governor Sloan, Campaign of SLAM
der is Ended.

In Everybody's Magazine for Sep
tenn Der the management of that pub
lication makes retraction and apol-
ogy to former Governor Sloan of this
state, because of an article printed in
the magazine considerably more than
year ago.
The story in question, which was
concerning certain operations of the
United States reclamation srevice at
Phoenix, more particularly about the
contract between the government and
the local light company, was an effort
to show that the government had
broken the law. In the article, the
writer of it (who was a newspaper
man who had previously been In the
service of some of Governor Sloan's
political opponents) made a vicious at
tack upon Mr.. Sloan, asserting in ef-
feet that as attorney for the water
users association and as governor he,
in connection with the contract men,
toned, had at least connived at the
betrayal of the interests of the peo-
Pile; and it was insinuated that as
federal Judge, to which position he
succeeded upon his retirement from
the governors office, he stood ready
to uphold this alleged unfair contract.
Judge Sloan, who had meanwhile
left the federal bench, Immediately in
stituted libel suit against Every
body's and asked for damages. Upon
carefully Investigating the facts. Ev-
erybody's Magazine found that when
the contract in question was made
Judge Sloan was still on the territorial
bench, and of course had not yet be-
come either governor or the attorney
for the water users-in short, that the
charges against him were wholly with
out foundation.
It is understood that the magazine,
in settling the suit out of court, made
a satisfactory money settlement with
Judge Sloan, and of course the retrac
ton and apology, setting forth the sin
cere regret of the magazine manage
ment, followed.
This incident may be said to mark
the formal close of a campaign of ex-
tarordinary viru1ence which was start
ed against Judge Sloan in A izona the
moment 1t became known that Presi-
4snt Taft intended to appoint him fed
eral Judge for this state. As a part of
that campaign, charges against him
were made right and left, to influence
the United States senate against his
confirmation, and in the executive
sessions of the senate, where the au-
thors could hide behind the cloak of
secrecy, the most cruel charges of all
were voiced. Although they were too
shrewd to permit the question of con-
firmation to come to a vote, the
judges enemies did succeed in post
poning action until congress had ad-
journed and his appointment from the
president had thereby lapsed.
At this late day, even the authors of
these attacks would doubtless admit
that they were without foundation
all of the charges Of any moment hav-
ing been in fact disproved. And while,
presumably, Judge Sloan, in the COM
forts and liberties of a practicing law
yer has few if any regrets at losing
his place on the federal bench because
of these attacks, the fact remains that
the campaign against him was one of
the most unjust that was ever waged
against a public man in Arizona.

of congress- in coming Immediately to
the aid of the president whenever
necessity arose, as had been exem-
plifed more than once during the
session shortly to close. He paid
the highest possible compliment to
the president when he said he is an
advocate of peace and had resisted
tenn ptatfons to make war on Mexico
that would have set Europe in flames
long ago had the events happened
there which have occurred here.
Said he: For while our president
was the subject of the derision of
foreign diplomats and of would-be
diplomats, mostly editors at home, but
today the United States stands alone,
supreme in peace among the nations
of the civilized world.
president Wilson has ACCOMPLISHED
more in the way of constructive leg
islation in the time he has been in
office than any president since Abra-
ham Lincoln has done in his full
term. He spoke of the presidents
consistent friendship for labor and his
utter fairness towards capital. and
mentioned among, the accomplished
things of his administration the pas
sage of the tariff and currency meas
ures, the income tax law the aboli-
tion of interlocking directorates and
the discontinuance of lobby in either
house.
He claimed that congress had re-
mained through long sessions willing
ly because the members realized that
it was their duty to do so, and added
that they were willing to stay as long
again should the imperative necessity
for such attendance arise.
He went into considerable detail
as to the repeal of the tolls exemp-
tion clauses of the Panama canal act
and said that it had been his pleasure
as he conceived it to be his duty, to
support the president in the repeal.
He said that he had based his sup
port of the repeal largely on the fact
that the exemption was only a thinly
disguised subsidy and said: Had the
exemption been left in the bill, the
common people would have been
taxed for the maintenance of the
canal, while the New York shipping
trust went scot free"
He spoke in terms of enthusiastic
admiration of the action of the presi-
dent in meeting the extraordinary
conditions brought about by the war
in Europe, and said that the placing
of $5OO,000,000 at the immediate dis
poSal of the secretary Of the treasury
to be used, if necessary, to strengthen
the reserves of solvent banks was the
one measure that could have prevent
ed a possible panic.
He spoke of the immediate response
of the president and the congress to
the demand for a modern and rea-
sonable shipping bill, and said that
even now the ships are being bought
and placed under American registry
which will restore the American mer-
chant marine to its former glory and
carry to starving and war-torn Eu-
rope the bountiful harvests of peace
full and prosperous America.
Stopping at Duncan during the af-
ternoon before the arrival of the
train for Clifton Senator Smith ad-
dressed a crowd which had assembled
about the depot to hear him. He
left here Wednesday morning for
Douglas, will spend three days in Co
chise county and on Monday afternoon
will deliver the Labor Day address in
Tucson, his home town.
