dressing room in the rear, with a
pistol lying on table near by. He
was bleeding from a-wopnd near his
heart.
Physicians were hastily summoned
and an examination showed that the
heart had been missed by the ball
and that the wound might not prove
fatal
To Rev. j. B. Eshman who came
in and asked if the shot was acciden-
tai he said no. Asked why he did it,
he said he didn't know, adding 81

The Latest Mexican Outrage

Washington cannot act too energet-
icallv in the caseo the murder OF SIX
teen Americans near Chihauhau City.
That bandits and murderers are able TO
engineer and consummate an outrage
of this enormity in the heart Of pop
ulous State is disastrous TO any hope
we may have had that something like
order had returned to Mexico.
II might be hasty to conclude from
any isolated incident that conditions in
Mexico are as bad as ever, but GER
taihly there is no ground here for be-
lieyino that ''the situation" in that
country is composing ITSELF in a
gratifying manner.
II is nearly impossible-for~ Wash
ington and the public alike-to acqur c
an accurate conception Of the extent
of Carranza's control Of affairs in his
ltroublous country. The continued re-
= surrence Of such outrages as this gives
ipDresslve testimony of what yet re-
mains to be done, So long as such an
affais as that at Chihuahua is possible
any claim to CONTROLS open TO mos'
energetic questioning. That is a con,
sideration that the Government al

Mexican policy in the past, and IN de-

tore James j. Hill retired from the
Presidency He went to St. Paul, rea-
lizing that II he were to place that
order he must make use OF infinite
tact. How he would make use Of that
tact would depend upon his first inn
pressions after meeting Mr. Hill.
A dav or two after he arrived in
ST. Paul. he called at the Office OF the
Great Northern Company and after a
litslc delay was admitted TO the pres

convinced that the occasion was not
Opportune for talking business. lie
realized that Mr.. Hin had at the mo-

So that instead Of speaking Of his

TEMPE, June 7.-Theodore Wood. fabric buyer for the Goodyear Rub Der company Of Akron, Ohio. is in Tempe for few days looking over the cotton situation with the end in View of purchasing at least a portion of the Goodyear supply of cotton from the Salt River valley growers. The Arizona cotton has been tried to a certain extent in the Goodyear fac tory and 1t has so far excelled other types of flint that a man has been sent to the valley to look the situation over thoroughly.
 In company with c. G. Jones and other directors of the Tempe Cotton Exchange, and F. W. Hudson, the government cotton expert located here. Mir. Wood made a tour over the fields on the south side today, and he expressed his confidence tonight that the Goodyear company would secure a part, at least, of this years crop in the valley.
 The tire company's consumption of cotton lint per year is enormous and even the entire output from this val ley would supply but a portion of the demand. Mir. Wood plans to spend several days in the valley and will ! have another conference with the directors of the local exchange today
