TRAGEDY IS. BARED BY DEATH IF
 LITTLE BOY

Giobe.-Tragedy of a six years old
 baby boy who died after suffering for weeks from abcess of the brain
 was barred yesterday in Judge Hin son Thomas court when an inquest
 was Eeld over the body of Phen Donovan Brouilette, son of Alder
 man P. H. Brouilette, a socialist appointee to the city council. The autopsy of a staff of reput- able physicians showed that the child | died from exactly the cause set forth by Dr. w. A. Holt when he advised a
 minor operation on January 12. The child was then suffering from an ab- cess in the mastoid cells and the doc tor warned the parents that if the condition was allowed to continue it would be dangerous. The mother re- fused, with clenched fist, to allow an operation or hear to anything other than treatment by Christian Science calling in a Mrs. Thieman who, other Christian Scientists say, has not taken the class work of a "Prac- titioner.
 According to the testimony of Mrs. Thieman and other witnesses yes terday both Mrs. Brouilette and Mrs.
 Thieman have suffered from mental ailments from which they were cur ed by Christian Science
 No note of great grief over the passing of the baby boy seemed to appear in the testimony of some of the witnesses who would naturally have been expected to show deep emotion on the subject. Their re- ] lisiOus practices seemed to concern them more than the sacrifice of the child
 At the conclusion of the inquest County Attorney Norman J. John son, who made a deep and searching investigation into the case, declared that he intended to look up the legal
 procedure in connection with the matter although he was unable to say at that time whether any action could be taken.
 The coroner's verdict reads:
 That he came to his death in Globe, Gila County, Arizona, at the residence of his parents, 977 North Devereaux street, February 3, 1916, from an abcess on the brain.''
 Members of the jury were: Ed Gilliland. J. w. Brown, Tony Neary, J. F. Crampton, E. F. Eisenhour and Charles Goranson.
 The father of the child was the heard. Drs. Wales and Fox corro- borated his testimony. Mrs. Thie- man tolG her story Mrs. Margaret Secher and several other Christian Scientists were called but their tes- timony related only to their religion.

BIG FLOOD DAMAGE
 IN YUMA CO.
Water Came Through Gopher Hole Under Levee, Defeating Efforts of Workers.

Various estimates of the damage stocks in Yuma were heard by Judge John H. Campbell, who was in that city yesterday says the Tucson Citi- zen. He left Tucson Saturday even ing on No. l for the coast. The train was an hour too late to get through.
 The adobe buildings, several of them two stories in height, had fallen, undermined by the water. The Sun Publishing company's build ing was one of the first to collapse. It was variously reported that Sanguinetti had lost from $4,0OO to s250,000 in merchandise, but Judge Campbell deems it scarcely credible that his damage could have been as large as the high figure, because he Ter merchant.

The water trickled through the hole un- der the 1evee and finally burst it. The breach was from 20 to 30 feet wide. The break occurred at 5 o'clock in the morning. Mayor More had been assisting in the work all night. He went to his office and there dropped dead.
 The work of salvaging merchan- disc was proceeding rapidly yester- day, loads of flour and other perish able commodities being hauled to the high ground. A refugee camp had been established on the railroad track, and the homeless were being fed.
 There was no disorder. The Twelfth United States infantry assist ed in policing the streets. The cleo tric lights were burning again last night

After more than a generation of waiting, Papago Indians in the vicinity of Tucson will have their own reservation, as President Wilson has issued an executive order setting aside more than 4000 square miles of land in Southern Arizona as a reser- vation, exclusive of mineral rights, ac- cording to a telegram received by Rev.

 Morenci Chapel was well filled during the evening services on last Sunday and the services were much appreciated. Rev.

 1 Tt will never get well if you pick | it. is an old saying, and can well be applied to the trouble in Morenci now past and gone. By-gones should i be by-gones and since the majority of the people are busy once more, attention has been called to the con- tinued stirring up of unpleasantness by a certain few, against property owners and tax payers. It has been noised about camp this week that the Morenci Club was on the boy colt list on account of several em- ployees who are working there in the evening. Such move is certainly surprising among reputed broad mind ed people who are supposed to reside in Morenci, and especially when the Club is a public benefit, open and managed for the accommodation of the public in general.

of moving vans is Long Distance
Moving" and with big, able power
vans, though it may cost more, it is
no more of a job to move in from or
out to the suburbs than it was 20
years ago to move from one street
to another in the city.
But familiar as such vans have now
become 1t was at least interesting to
see the other day moving van from
Philadelphia. Somebody in the Quak
er city had moved over to the metropo-
lis, and now here was the big van,
empty, rolling smoothly along on the
way back from New York to the city
on the banks of the Delaware
In this case the distance from house
to house was probably 100 miles; but
with a power van this moving was
done with the same facility as if ii had
been only just around the corner.

TIRE WASTAGE BECOMES
ENORMOUS IN PAST YEAR

Last year. according TO a statement
issued by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, motor car
users discarded 100000 tires, repre-
senting an expenditure of more than
S290,000, 080
What would be the result il half Of
this sum, approximately s150,000,OO0,
could be saved annually? 1t would
pay for the construction of five con-
crete highways across the continent
each year, it would build another Pana-
ma canal in three years, pay off the
national debt in seven years. or build a
fleet Of ten first-elass battleships every
year
That there really is an enormous
economic waste, and that saving of
$3.50, 900, 900 of the annual tire bill
is not an idle dream, is shown by fig
ures which have been gathered and
averaged by prominent statistician
For the year 1915, 1850 miles per set
of tires was the average on all cars
listed except one. This car, the Frank
lin, established an average of $500
miles per set over the same period,
more than so per cent better than the
general average.

With tho conctant changes in mOtos

again made il plain that the Cole Com.
pany will confine it> production to but

"By building but one chassis we are.
sble TO concentrate our entire organ

For instance, II we we're to introduce

COST OF PRODUCTION
MOST IMPORTANT IN
MAKING OF AUTOMOBILE

with the subject OF cost of procuc-
ton one of the most important that
confronts the entire automobile In
dustry, various plans are being de-
xised to keep il down to minimum.
~The Chandler Motor Car Com
pany is bringing It about through
the creation of corps OF efficiency
experts. Il Is the duty of these men
10 travel about the country, learn
ing the. prices OF all materials ana
supplies that enter into the Chan
dIer car. They must know the ca
pacity of every parts plant and what
the likelihood is of their filling a
contract up to- specifications. II busi-
ness is placed with them. AS a con-
sequence OF the findings OF .tnese eX-
perts, the price OF the Chandler six
has been advanced less than that OF
nearly every other car In the same
class.
1T is the expectation of the Chan
dler Motor Car Company to produce
$4,000 cars for 1917 New additions
are being made to the plant at Cleye-
land to permit this increased output.
Everything that enters into the cost
or building a car has been increased,
so when a company contemplates put
ting out more machines than ever be-
fore and at minimum increase in
the price of the product to consumer,
Il becomes a difficult problem Ior
even expert statisticians.

But the company heads, say there
can be no sighting; the bows must
be concealed when the boot is on,
so there has to be closer figuring
and all efforts are directed toward
efficiency, which in the end. means
improved quality in the automobile.
