 stone of a $125, ,OOO Scottish Rite Temple, Phoenix is to have a Shrine temple to cost goodness knows how much, Prescott is to have a court house to cost more than either of them, Yuma coun- ty is to have two or three hun dred thousand dollars worth of good roads for which some of the contracts have been let, and Gila county has voted $35O,OOO for the same purpose.

Mohave county has Oatman it. self, which as gold camp pro- mises to rival Nevada's best. Before these words get into type it is probable Coconino county will move for a good roads bond issue of S2OO, GOO. People say ;. to which a railroad was recently built, will be the biggest single mine in the world and the steel rails are reaching out to Ajo camp in Pima county, which hopes to go it one better. Bis bee mines are humming full time, Tombstone is being re- juvenated and everything is go- ing smoothly at the Mascot mine. Graham county'S fertile fields are attracting attention and big mining venture has just been launched with a Phoenix man at its head. Globe is working over the court house, Miami is boom ing and the oil men are just about to bring in the gushers at Roosevelt. Ray and Jerome are too busy to talk-making copper.

Washington, May 3-Secretary Ra- ker, in announcing today that nego tiations would be undertaken with workmen of the Rock Island, H., ar senal seeking a higher wage scale, expressed his belief that the govern mnt should lead the way as an en- ployer and pay more than the usual wage scale.
 "The government said the secrc- tary, "should be an industrial leader offering the employees better wakes and working conditions than private employers I believe the government should pay a little the best wages and offer a little the best working conditions For two reasons it should pay slightly over the usual wages to secure the pick of employees and be a model to private employers.
 MT. Baker said the labor depart ment had been asked to advise on the arsenal wage scale. and a final answer probably will be given the workmen May 15.

Announcements of an important nature featured the noon day lunch- con of the campaign workers today. The most important of these was the agreement of six of the leading movers in the campaign to contribute S1O,O0O to the fund, providing the teams re- port at the luncheon tomorrow that an equal amount had been collected.
 When Captain H. H. Pease finished his remarks regarding the offer, en- thusiasm was shown by all in attend ance, and if this is to be accepted as a criterion, there is no question but that when noon rolls around tomorrow, it will find that the efforts of the work CTS have been crowned by success. The paper on which the offer was made contains the names of William H. Hart, Philip Corbin, A. F. Corbin, F. G. Platt, H. H. Pease and H. L. Platt.
 The Lid Is of.
 The other announcement which was popularly received was that com mencing today the town will be wide wherever they see fit, as the card sys- tenn has been abolished for the re- mainder of the campaign. MT. Bard, in announcing this, spoke of the fact that many whose names were con- tained on the card system; had not been approached and probably would not be if this system was continued lie also urged the members of the teams to approach everyone in sight. To those who contributed so far, a further appeal should be made, especially today when the great bat tie for the S10,000 is to be waged.
 Headed by Tony Sulick, several of the grown up members of the club marched to the luncheon today to present to the campaign fund their small but appreciated mite, and in a neat speech Master Sulicl1 turned the amount of $2 over to President Christ amid rousing cheers. The boys were then the guests of the day and were provided with a luncheon.
 Rev. Dr. G. w. c. Hill offered prayer. The orchestra, under the leadership of Augustus Hermann Scneuy, QlSpenSed an especially eX- cellent program of music during the lunch.
 To add to the wave of enthusiasm which seemed to be in evidence today, Mayor G. A. Quigley was on hand to give a brief address. In the introduce ton of the speaker, President Christ said that at the time of the formation of the cobbling classes at the club, his honor presented the tools for the "shoemakers' to do their work with,

MURDERS CHILD AND ENDS HER OWN LIFE Ansonia Woman, Fearing Separa-
 tion, Considers Death
 More Preferable DAUGHTER WAS ADOPTED
Foster Mother Believed Girl She Took Flight Years Ago Was About to Be Given Back-Husband Believed Her to Be Own Child

Ansonia, May 3.-Fearing that the eight year old child which she had brought up and mothered since the little girl was a few days old would be taken away from her by the al- legged rightful mother of the girl, Mrs. Augustus Holzwig, wife of Louis Holzwig of Walkers Court, this city, it is believed by the police apparently murdered the child and then com mitted suicide by cutting her own throat this morning.
 According to the story told by the husband he found them both dead in bed when he returned from an errand to buy clothing for his wife and the little girl to wear to the probate court this morning where a hearing was to be held for the adop- Holzwig. Coroner Mix is investi- gating.
 StabS Child With Penknife.
 Chief Ellis and Medical Examiner pr. L. B. Cooper found that appar- ently Mrs. Holzwig had stabbed the chld-known as Alkaline Geneve Holzwig-in the left side Of the neck with a sharp pointed penknife and then held the little girl until she bled to death. After that she evil dently slashed her own throat with @ razor in such a way that death was almost instantaneous. The stab wound in the child's throat was not sufficient to cause death except by loss of blood.
 Husband Thought It Own Child.
 Behind the supposed murder and suicide is the tale of a woman who longed for child, secured a three days old infant from a mother who vas willing to part with it and at that time led her husband to believe it was her own, brought it up without the fornality of ever having adopted 1t and then faced the possibility of the real mother taking the little girl away from her. It is believed that worry over the chance of losing the little one led to the tragedy.
