| VICIOUS SYSTEM OF OFFICE HOLD

The practice of office holders serving In

against all good Government policy. The
vicious character of this practice, it
seems to me, should be recognized With

he says.
Many of the office holders of the county
occupying places in Councils are declared
by the Mayor to represent political ma

who placed them in office.
Men who have no ostensible means OF

JUAREZ, July 16-'I would much prefer that Huerta had remained in the chair or in Mexico City until we could get our hands on him." Villa said in Juarez when he learned of Huerta's reported resignation. That is the only comment l care to make on the subject" he added. q am a soldier of my country and do not care to express my opinion of a trai- tors resignation"
 A military band played martial airs outside Villas headquarters as the news of Huerta's resignation spread about. Villa will remain on the bor- der two or three days, it is said to- day at his headquarters. He arrived early this morning.

to the unfortunate pie maker, so they shall be passed in silence Unues- tionably the pie has fallen far from it's former high estate among us as the climax of comestible luxuries, the eagerly awaited end of every dinner, and the termination among the rich or reckless of breakfasts and suppers, too. Nowadays the urban populations, however it may be in the country, tend to relegate pie to luncheon in its has, tiest form.
 The change meets with general ap- proval, but it does not deserve all the commendation it receives, for 2 prop erly constructed pie supplies needed and valuable food element, often lack ing from our meals and not otherwise easily or cheaply to be supplied.

ID BOOST FOR THE B|G RACE
Representatives of Compe- tition Committee Of-P. M. c. Leave for Los Angeles to Start Promoting Coast Phoenix Race

It will be long before Phoenix wakes up this morning when the Phoenix -Logansport motorcycle trlo hits the trail for Los Angeles, bear ing the biggest boost the home ciup ever had for it's coming Los Angeles 10 Phoenix race. While not following the route of the race, the riders will get in touch with people of influence at the other end, and through them with those who will handle the event at intermediate points. For Ben l.. Rudderow, a member and w. Il. Worcester, a representative of the competition committee of the Phoenix Motorcycle club, will have full power to negotiate with all California pro- motors.
 With the Phoenix pair goes Calvin East of Logansport, Indiana, a rider of some note, since he has done the 23OO miles to Phoenix over horrible roads in creditabe time. East is glad of the company he will have, tickled that he is not to ride soli- tarily the last five hundred miles of his long trip.
 Worcester and Rudderow will pass some little time in. Los Angeles, and while there will get in touch with the motorcycle clubs, the newspapers, the dealers and all others who may be influential in promoting the longest hardest and most famous motorcycle pull in the world. Rudderow carries notes to all the influential men of motorcycle affairs as well as to the proper newspaper men in Los Angeles. He will start campaign of publicity, based on the achievement of the three Indian mo-
 torcycles for the trip, but reflectine upon the coming event, whose sha- | dow is looming so large.
 The route the riders will take IS i that new one, recently opened III
 through Prescott, Needles and Bar

CATCHING FEM ALIVE

An Englishman. who recently visited this country for the purpose of hunt ing big game in the west and in Brit ish Columbia. relates a story of a fel- low Britisher, who was lion shooting in Uganda.
 This sportsman had had excellent luck. Nearly every day he would pose beside a freshly killed lion or other beast and his photographer would snap him for the magazines.
 One afternoon the picture man, who was taking a nap in the hut, was awakened by a loud noise. He arose and looked out. Sprinting toward him from the woods, hat gone and coat tails flying. came his chief. At a considerable distance behind, luck fly for the hunter, stallled huge lion,

 The arrival at Puerto Mexico of the ex-president and the exwar minister is looked for between 8 and 9 o'clock tomorrow. It is expected that they will ask the Dresden and the Bristol to carry the refugees to some neutral port, where they can transfer to regular steamer for Europe. The next steamer scheduled to sail from this port for a Euro pean port is the Buenos Ay-es and she is not due here until July 22. It is thought that Huerta will not care to wait that length of time Naval men are inclined to believe that they will be asked to carry the refugees to some West Indian port Jorge Huerta, who holds the rank | of colonel, walked about the streets, greeted friends and bore himself as | jauntily as in the capital He did not associate with the Americans, | however, and to his Mexican friends he was outspoken in his expressions of disapproval of the Americans | Along the water front, opposite the position held by the Bristol, there is stationed a guard from the local troops, near where the trains are parked and in front of the houses where several of the refugees have taken quarters, and there are guards from the soldiery that accompanied | the special train
 A few constitutionalsts are known to be operating not far from Puerto Mexico. but nothing occurred to in dicate any movement on the part of | Huerta's enemies in the field tc interfere with his leave-taking
 Huerta's friends here point to the manner in which he stood back. urg- ing those for whom he cared to leave before him, and refer to him as 'the officer who commands the rear guar movement. As it appears tonight there will be little tomorrow to bring to mind the departure of Porfirio Diaz It was Huerta whom Diaz chose to es cort him to Vera Cruz from the capi. tai.

FSPEE SAYS IS PUTTING
 IN HEADLIGHTS QUICKLY
Engines Fitted at Rate of Two Per
 Week

A supplementary petition in the matter of a rehearing of the head light order before the corporation commission was filed yesterday by the Southern Pacific railroad com pany. The petition states that the company is equipping it's locomotives with powerful headlights in substan- tIal compliance with the commits sion's order at the rate of five per week, and that on July II all but thirty five had been so equipped.
 Inasmuch as the law provides that a petition for rehearing is consider ed to be overruled if no action is taken within twenty days from the date of filing, it is likely that the commission will neither grant nor deny the request, thus allowing the matter to drop.

WHITE KING HOSE
 STANDS SEVERE TEST
Ono Thousand Feet Is Subjected to
 High Pressure

One thousand feet of White King fire hose, ordered by City Manager Parish from H. K. Behn, manager of the Arizona Hardware Supply Company, has been received at the fire station and from tests imme- diately made seems to have proven the wisdom of the manager in choos- ing it. No sooner was it received than Fire Chief Sullivan caused it to be unpacked.
 Yesterday word was sent Manager Parish that Chief Sullivan was pre- pairing to make a test of the hose. The big steamer was brought out and fired up. A pressure of three hundred pounds was created and then the entire shipment, in two lengths, was attached to the engine. First the water was sent through a 300 foot pipe and then changed over to the other of the same length. While the water was being sent through the hose at high pressure, and while the shut-off nozzle was being employed, thereby throwing the entire pressure upon the hose, eff forts were made to find leaks. either in the hose or at the couplings There was no leak, something that is quite out of the ordinary for it is seldom that even when perfect hose equipment is employed with the noz- gle shut-off in use that there is not l seepage from the couplings.
 Manager Parish expressed himself
 as more than pleased with the test and Chief Sullivan immediately put
 in a request for more hose of the
 same grade
