PHOENIX, Dec. 9.-In spite of the fact that both parties thought their state central committees spent large sums oi money to elect a galaxy of there was one who got on without putting up single dime. He wasn't elected and perhaps the fact that it didn't cost him anything is soothing balm. good for what ails him.
 J Lorenzo Hubbell. candidate for presidential elector on the republican ticket was that candidate. It was not because he did not have the money but because he could not find a place to spend it.
 All candidates are required by law to send in to the secretary of state an itemized account of just how much they spent in their endeavors to WOO the franchise Of the people.
 Hubbelrs sworn statement was the first of its kind ever received at the state house.

AJO STRIKE FALLING
 FLAT: SIX ARRESTED

AJO, Dec. 12-The strike of the New Cornelia Copper company's en- ployes at Ajo is being settled by the men themselves. There were at work at the plant this morning 575 men. The parade of the strikers yesterday contained POS men, 50 of whom were Americans. The senti- nent apparently is rapidly crystalizing in behalf of the company and it is be- lieyed that the next few days will see all the crafts back at work. The la Dor disturbance has been unique in that there has been no violence and no arrests have been made until this morning when Sheriff Forbest took into custody six militant strikers led by Organizer Ed Miller for contempt of his proclamation against the intim- idation of men desiring to work.

When some of the men of the camp saw Frank Laymon riding in an auto with Deputy Allie Howe, Thursday, and a barrel in the car, they began 10 wonder if il was possible that Frank had been dabbling with the variety of moisture that is now "ta- boo" in Arizona. There was no cause for apprehension, as Laymon was just taking advantage of an op- portunity to have his barrel trans ported to the south side where he had made arrangements to kill a good sized hog, and the barrel was one of the necessary parts of the equipment. lie is enjoying a goodly supply of ex- ceedingly fine fresh meat at present. -Courtland Arizonan.

AN ARIZONA PHYSICIAN
IN RviA

BENSON, Dec. 10-One of the re- cent interesting and reliable books dealing with the European war is called "The Highway of Death" by Dr. E. B. Downer, who had charge of the American Red Cross unit at Bel grade, Servia, during the three times that city was under siege. The auth or visited Benson this summer while recuperating from his arduous duties, and has returned to Europe to con. tinue in the great work. When one realizes that of the 300 physicians and surgeons who went there some months ago, 240 died of typhus and other causes. it shows the dreadful situation.
 Dr. Downer's people live at Buena, this county. near Fort Huachuca, and they. as we'll as Benson, are proud of his achievements.

RICE SCRUBS TOO
STRONG FOR ALLEN
Allen Team Put Up a Plucky Fight,
but Age, Weight and Experience
Prevailed Against Them.

Playing against a team that was
way out OF their class in weight, ex.
perience and age, besides having the
advantage OF the home gridiron, the
Allen Academy football team was
overwhelmed Monday afternoon In
Houston by Coach Cummings Rice
scrubs by a score Of AZ to 0. In spite
of the disparity OF the scoring, which
would indicate a walk-away for the
collegians, the game was not uninter.
esting and was at times replete with
sensational plays by both teams.
In the Rice lineup were several men
who are of decidedly varsity caliber,
and were II not for the severe eligibil.

scholarship demanded by the institute

time chosen for all.state quarter. and
wears the big white "A" OF Austin Col.

that figured prominently in the scor.
ing, are letter men OF last year.
Realizing the fact that in straight
line plunging they would have no
chance against the hefty OWlets and
early taking cognizance OF the excel.
lent work OF the Rice ends In sitting
through interference and breaking up
end runs, the Allen quarter centered
his chances OF winning on the preca
rious forward pass. That he lost was
not the fault OF DeLafosse, who shot

ward passes to the place where. In &C
cordance with the most approved the.
ory Of football. his ends should be.
Te fast work and quick judgment Of
the Rice backs foiled his attempts.
Early In the game Halter, one OF
the best half backs in prep and scho.
lastic football, was hurt and taken
from the game, and with his passing
the star Of hope declined for Allen
Academy. While he was in action
Rice was unable to score. His work,
together with that of DeLafosse at
quarter. and Neuman at half. was the
outstanding feature OF the academy
offense and defense. And at times
the line held against the terrific
pounding Of the heavy Rice backs.
Coach Brit" Hudson has but two
old players on his team, and not one
OF his men is over 10 years OF age. He
is facing the task OF building up an
organization from practically green
material. The inexper\ence OF the
men showed up most lamcntably in
their tackling. This was made even
worse by the clean cut and effective
work OF the 0wlets. In tackling Ar.
