WANTS ID SHAKE
 G0V. HUNTS HAND
Wealthy Manchester En- gllshman Invested SSO0O With Convict Roy J. Meyers, Late of Florence Penitentiary

James Cook wealthy manufacturer
 of Manchester. England. arrived in
 Phoenix and registered at the Hotel
 Adams last night Among the more
 important reasons for Mr Cooks visi.
 to Arizona's capital is q firm desire
 to grasp the right hand of Governor
 Hunt and shake if with vi.or.
 Mr. Cook became associated with Governor Hunt through the opera
 tons of Roy J. Meyers, who tried to
 prove to the world while he was in
 the penitentiary at Florence that it
 was possible to grab large quantities Of electricity out of the air Gov ernor Hunt and others viewed the iu- ventlon of the convict and were firmly convinced that he had done something of benefit to the universe. Afterward 1t developed that the machine invent of activity by wires extending from
 the dynamo in the engine of tn. prison. Also il developed that MT Meyers, after his departure from Florence was arrested in New Or

 Cook said yesterday that he in- vested sS0oo in the electrical contriv- ance exploited by Meyers He was in England at tLc time Before invest ing. he received q letter from Gov ernor Hunt, in which Arizona's chief executive spoke favorably of Meyers and his invention
 Cook invested his money and lost it, but said nothing to business ;tsso- ciates in England. Now he has come to Arizona with the idea of holding 2 personally conducted post -mortem over
 the scene of the operations which de- i prived him of a small fortune
 Meyers has attracted so much att tention and was such q colossal oper- ator that echoes of il are heard from time 10 time, much to the disples sure
 of various persons who believed that 1 they were enga sed in d humane work when they aided the prisoner in his 1 scheme Kate Barnard. head Of the state correction bureau of Oklahoma came to Arizona for the sake of help | ing Meyers to place his -ciscoverl v
 before the world. Meyers succeeded 1 in convincing scores of influentiai 1 persons that his invention took cleo l trical power from the air. The ma . i chine he operated for purposes of 1 demonstration at the state peniten- tiary seemed to bear out his theory
 until the interested ones learned of the part played by the little wires which l bore power from the dynamo room.

DON'T SHOOT AT BAR
 TENDER SAYS ByRNES
Sage Advioe from Prisoner to Errant
 One Would Do So

Among six prisoners from COchisc county who were brought into Phoenix last night. en route to Florence peni tentiary. is one who feels that his eX perience has been of some good to his fellow man This prisoner is John Byrnes. He was sentenced to serve from one to two years in the peniten- tiary. and was one o1 q party be ing escorted to the reformatory by Deputy Sheriff Allie Howe of Co chise county.
 Byrnes showed little interest in the antics of an intoxicated resident of Bisbee who boarded the train at Mari copa. until the boisterous one in quired:
 Who's got d gun: l want to bor- row it long enough to shoot bar tender"
 Whereupon Mir Byrnes arose and placed an embracing arm about the shoulders of the man who wanted the gun.
 Don't do it." Byrnes said this with such sincerity that the eXuberant pas senger thought no more of acquiring the shooting iron and piercing liquor dispenser.
 The reason for all this, as explained Deputy Sheriff Howe, was that MT. Byrne was on his way to serve from one Ia two years because he had Dor rowed a revolver and shot at bar tender several months ago.

This Is an extremely interesting
