Relic of sun-Worshin.

That the ancient practice of en-
balming the dead is a religious rite
connected with sun-worship is the the
ory advanced by Prof. g. Elliot Smith
in a study of the migrations OF peo-
pies, published in the memoirs and
proceedings of the Manchester ENG
landD Philosophical society, theory
that the editor of the Lancet says
Prof. Smith appears to have proved
beyond dispute
Professor Smith has traced the prac-
tice of mummifylng into the remotest
corners of the earth. In a hot, dry
country like Egypt it was easy to pre-
serve a body, but in hot, damp eli
mates it was, in the words of the
Lancet, "a very beastly and never
very successful business that could
have persisted only as religious rite.
1t probably had its origin i'll Egypt
and was spread throughout the world
by early missionaries.

A. j. EDDY A CANDIDATE FOF
STATE LEGISLATURE.

A. j. Eddy, the wellknowm auto
mobile man and good roads booster
for state representative in this
weeks aPost. Mr. Eddy is we'll known
in this end of the county, having re-
sided at Bouse for about five years.
He left Bouse in 1913 and went to
Yuma, where he soon established him
self in the automobile business
He was born in, Shelby, Oceana
county, Michigan, where he received
a good high school and business col
lege education. Though he has never
actively participated in politics or
been candidate for office he has
always taken keen interest in gov
ernmental affairs. His ideas regard
ing the needs of his county and state
are clear and sensible A working
man himself, he sympathizes with
organized labor and can be relied up
on to stand for absolute Justice for
the laboring classes, while at the
same time believing in the giving of
proper encouragement to every legiti-
mate industry. He believes that in
stead of conflicting, the rights of
capital and labor are mutual, and
that neither should be injured at
the expense of the other.
Although he has not been promi-
rent in political way, Mr.. Eddy has
been exceedingly prominent in bene-
fetal public movements. He is serv-
ing his second term as director of
the Yuma County Commercial Club,
and is known as one of the states
foremost good roads promoter. AS a
president of the Arizona Good
Roads Association he was designated
to lead the discussion of County
Bond Issues at the meeting of that
organization held in Phoenix on May
Ii last, and attracted much attention
by the cleanness and practicality of
his views. AIT the recent meeting at
Mobile, Alabama, of the Old Spanish
Trail Association, Mr. Eddy was
chosen as a director, a distinction
which came to him entirely unsought.
Mr. Eddy is a progressive Demo
crat, and IS asking for the Demo
cratic nomination on the promise that
MS voice, vote and energy in the
Arizona Legislature will be devoted
to the enactment of genuinely pro-
gressiye democratic legislation in the
interest of the greatest number of

POLITICIAN Held
ON BRIBERY CHARGE
Friend Of Roosevelt Had Marked
Bills, Police Say

New York, Nov. 21.-Colonel Henry
M. Bennett, a republican politician
Of Oyster Bay and a close friend of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, was, ar
rested at a hotel in Mineola last eve
ming. accused Of accepting 500 as part
payment of $4,000 bride, for
which, it was charged, Bennett had
agreed to fix a juror in a 100000
suit on trial in the supreme court
there.
Bennett was trapped, according to
District Attorney Smith and Warden
Hulse Of the Nassau county jail who
made the arrest, by means Of marked
bills, which were given him by Charles
T. Mccarthy, the complainant. Ben
nett denied the charge, said he was
the victim OF a "frame-up" and de-
clared the 500 he accepted was
money Mccarthy owed him. He was
arraigned before Police Justice John
Buhler and held in $4,000 bail for
a hearing Thursday.
The case in which it is alleged the
jury fixing was to be done was that
Of Charles Fuller against the Bradley
Construction company, of Port Wash
ington; on trial before Justice Van
Siclen.
Mccarthy, a former assistant dis
trict attorney and now counsel to the
board of supervisors, says he was
told by Bennett that one of the jurors
could be controlled either way for
$4,000. The amount was later raised
to $4,000, he declares. Mccarthy
conferred with John J. Graham
counsel for Fuller; former Lieutenant
Governor Thomas +. Conway, counsel
for the defendant, and Justice Van
Siclen, telling them of Benefits al
legged proposal. 1t was decided, he
explained to lay trap for Bennett.
District Attorney Smith was in
formed and arrangements made for
him and Warden Hulse to be on hand
and make the arrests. Mccarthy says
he made an appointment with Ben
nett and the juror in question to meet
him at a Mineola hotel. When he had
handed Bennett the 500 he gave a
signal. Smith and Hulse made the ar
rest
Bennett was chairman of the Eel
