 RECALL

Yuma, Ariz., Sept 20.-Recall pe- titions are out against Superior Judge Frank Baxter, County Attor. ney c. H. Colman and Sheriff Mel Greenleaf. !,
 The petitions are receiving many signers and it is believed that the necessary twenty-five per cent will be secured in few days.
 The petitions are directed to the board of supervisors. The charge, made against the sheriff is that The has not made, nor is he now making an honest effort to enforce the pro- hibition amendment or the anti gambling laws"
 The petition against Judge Baxter alleges that. he is incompetent, and that without authority he has suspended jail sentences and re- fuses to imprison those convicted of trafficking in intoxicating liquors. He has permitted self-confessed boot leggers, while under suspended sen- tences, to serve on the grand jury"
 The charge against the county at torney is the same as that against the sheriff, with the additional alle- gation that he refuses to call a. terial witnesses against Dick Moli-- no, now self-cenfessed COW thief" The petitions are fathered by those who are dissatisfied with the man. ner in which the prohibition laws in Yuma county has been handled

 Therefore be it resolved by the strikers of the cIifton-Morenci- MetcaIf district that we do now comply with the conditions which the mine managers have declared essential preliminaries to the holding of a conTerence and the adjustment of differences, that we have no intention of asking for the recognition of the West ern Federation of Miners now, or at any other time, this to the end that industrial peace may speedily be restored and mutual respect and good will obtain in the rela- tions between employers and em- ployees.
 Ratified by unanimous vote of strikers in mass meeting held at Morenci and Clifton on the 24th day of September, and at Metcalf on the 18th, 1915.

mand for recognition of the Western Federation of Miners. I want to say to you that I counted the cost very carefully and | am old enough not to cry for candy when l haven't the money to buy it. Inother words, the move for recognition of the Western Federation of Miners can only be ac- complished after a long and very bit ter struggle and the price that these men would have to pay in their homes was more than I could ask them to do.
 Now, there is something else: there was a statement made by some of the companies that their employees must make a statement that they would not demand recognition of the Western Federation, now or at any time. I understand the intention of the managers to be this, that we shall not get the Western Federation to back up a demand for an increase in wages, today, next month nor few months hence, and cut out rec ognition of unions. l think that was what they objected to. I want to i say to you that if the management of the various companies in this district will deal fairly and squarely with their employees, and I am inclined to believe that they will, and if so, want to say to them that I would be the last man in the world to disturb them. I hope they understand the employees of this district and when come down here few months hence they will not say, that agitator is back again; I wonder what he is up to now?"
 President Mover Arrives.
 President Chas. A. Mover, of the Western Federation of Miners, with headquarters in Denver, arrived in Clifton Thursday afternoon. He was met at the depot by Executive Mem Der Guy Miller, Geo. Powell and oth- CTS, and esorted to the Central Hotel. MT. Mover spent Friday afternoon in Morenci. returning to Clifton late this evening.

a Jury to Make Ort
ON Record Upon a
Lost Husband

A JURY has awarded Mrs. James
~ Murray Mitchell, wife of a Wall
street broker, $500 as it's esti-
mate Of the worth of her husbands love.
Mrs. Mitchell had sued Mrs. Ruth Aus
tin, a younger woman, for $4,000
which was her estimate Of what she
thought his affection was worth. What
she received is the lowest valuation OF
q mans heart ever recorded in New
York County with one notable exception,
when only six cents were awarded to
a woman who commenced a similar &C
ton some years ago.
The Mitchell decision raises a number
of unusually interesting questions. For
instance, with Stock Exchange seats sell
ing now for around $4,000, what was 1t
that determined the jury to declare
brokers heart worth only and just one
per cent the value of the seat? The
manner in which this and other questions
were decided was, IL Information that
comes directly from those most intimately
connected with the verdict and its evolu-
ton are to be believed, as interesting as
the questions themselves. For 1t hap
pened that the jurymen were, almost
without exception, men thoroughly Ia
miliar with stock exchange ways and
methods, and they at last argued the
points purely from a stock exchange
viewpoint. ~
In other words, they put themselves
in the position Of brokers. Mrs. Mitchell
was their customer and Mr.. Mitchelrs
love the stock whose value they had to
determine.
Take, for instance, the question men,
toned. It is true that a Stock Elk
change seat is a staple institution,
always there and, while subject to huc-
tuations, in time Of panic, still never
uncomfortable in its quoted price. But
on the other hand, mans heart is al
ways there while he's alive; 1t has its
fluctuations, of course, but its value TO
its owner at least is never inconsider'
able.
All. said the wise Jury, that is true
of the stability of the seat and true also
of the stability of the heart. But the
value OF each is in reality determined
by the quality and quantity of what they
deal with. The Stock Exchange deals
with stocks, bonds and so on; the heart
with affection, love and so on. IL the
supply of good stocks decreases, and bad
stocks take their place, the value OF the
Stock Exchange seat decreases. IL the
quality and quantity of emotions that
occupy what we call the heart deteriorate
then equally the value of the heart de-
teriorates.

The lawyer, reading from the COM
plaint: "You stated, did you not that

a different man. He became estranged.

destroyed? You said, did you not that In

Then appeared Mr. Mitchell. The
Jurors surveyed him with interest. The
man about whom two women so TO law

have led a commonplace existence. He
was thirty-one years old. He was very
tall. He was reasonably handsome, but
the Jury could find flaws in his beauty.

was one. at least, who was as handsome
as he.

A Hearts Fluctuations
In a Love Bear Raid.

Another question-Is a brokers' heart
subject to bear raids and bull raids?
Ought a wife put in a stop loss order
when she suspects that her husbands
love is on the wane? Can he call upon
her for margins from her bank account
of affections?
But before going into these and other
unique considerations that swayed the
Mitchell jury and the final extraordinary
scene in which the heart of James Muir
ray Mitchell was bid down to 500 in true
Stock Exchange fashion, 1t will be nee
essary to know what led up to and was
the cause for calling in any jury at all.
Mrs. Ruth Austin, twenty-tour years
old, and profoundly indignant, sat en-
grily In the witness chair.
Look at her, gentlemen" said the
lawyer for the plaintiff. DO you not
think her alluring? Look upon those

Mitchells stock stood at $4,000. Had
the Jury retired at that moment, Mrs.
Mitchell would have been richer. and
her rival poorer by $4,000. But at Mrs.
Austin's determined answers Mitchells
stock began to tumble.
The examination ran like this:
How long have you known Mr.. Nit
chell?" About four years" How did
YOU meet him." Il was introduced BY
some mutual friends" "Did you ever

OlaDlS no uOuDIs before the defendant
started what we might call a bear raid
(chorus from several tired jurymen
Shes a bear! She's a bear!"). This
stock was worth considerably more than
II is to-day. This plaintiff can't EXPECT
to get as much now for her stock as she
would have got II she had had TO put Il
on the market before the panic"
Another juror-"But perhaps this IL
only a temporary slump How do we
know that II this defendant hadn't come
into the case, Mrs. Mitchells stock would
not have appreciated in value? We ought
to take that into consideration. We are
putting a value on 1t and we ought 70
take into consideration the fact that the
wife might have regained some of the
loss she has sustained by reason of this
bear raid"
Another juror-"No. not at all, all we
are concerned In is the value of the stock

$500 share to-day and II we have to sell
