Mrs. Rosemary Heley, thirty eight
years old, who yesterday was shot three
times while In her apartment, on the
third floor Of 1891 New York avenue,
died at Emergency Hospital at Ais
o'clock in tho afternoon. Following her
death the police preferred a charge of
murder against Guy Boyd Powers, her
alleged slayer. The wounded woman
was able to make a statement of the
affair before she was taken to the
operating room.
Mrs. Heley told the police that Pow
ers had been drinking for several days
and had threatened her life. She re-
lated the story of her call for police as
siStance Friday night and of the visit
Powers paid her yesterday afternoon
She frankly said she was afraid he
would harm her and said she ordered
him from the house.
Fought for Pistol.
When Mrs. Heley saw Powers with the
pistol in his hand, she stated, she
grabbed for it in an effort to wrest it
from him. The pistol was discharged
and the bullet struck her. she said. and
then she started to run to the lower
floor While she was running from
him, she told the police. he shot her
again.
Powers, she said, was in the house
when DR.. Cousins reached there and
took charge of her. She went into detail
about the trouble she experienced with
| the alleged murderer, and when she had
finished her story she was taken to the
operating room, where DR.. William p.
Carr performed an operation.
The surgeon found the bullet that
! entered the back of Mrs. Heley's head
J had penetrated the brain, while the one
that entered the chest penetrated the
abdomen and perforated the intestines.
| Either wound, it is stated, probably
| would have caused death. The wound
| in the left hand was superficial.

uNALLoYED HYPOCRISY

One Of the concrete e1poHions Of
the Democratic idea Of non-perttsan-
ship as it h professed by this profess
serial administration is found in the
recent Mayoralty contest In New York,
where the Fusion" candidate was a
Democrat, running against Tammany
Democrat. The pleaders for non
partisaaship never for a moment con-
sidered tho ad7tsability Of uniting upon
a Republican, though tho city has in
the past given It's vote to Republican
candidates. In order to be non-parti-
san these days the action must result
In the choice OF Democrat.
We have another demonstration In
conn ection with the coming election
OF o Senator IN Wisconsin. Wtscon-
SIN Is strongly Republican state.
With tho exception Of 1892, IT ha3
voted its confidence in Republican
principles In ever national election
since the days Of Lincoln. 1t IL i'm"
that a division in Republican ranks in
1919 gave Woodrow Wilson The cleo
toral vote that year. but the combined
votes OF the Republican and Progress
sive candidates, both standing for the
principle Of protective tariff, far OK
ceeded the vote for tho party of free
trade. Even IN 1915, when many
states were deceived by the kept Us
out Of war" sophistry, Wisconsin re-
corded her vote for the Republican
nominee. The eleven congressman
from Wisconsin are Republicans. The
State has a Republican governor. al
overwhelmingly Republican Legislature
and every state office, so far us poHtt'
cal affiliations are shown. has been
filled by Republican By vote OF the
people.

CHICAGO GRAINS.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Assertions that the German chancellor said that peace was far distant had much to do with general advance which took place today in the value of grain provisions. Following are the advances in cereals:
 Corn 2h to AS; wheat F to l cents oats $ to ? and provisions F to 50 cents.
 The December corn option regis tered a new high price record for the season. Unwelcome dry hot weather tended materially to handicap the bears.
 Virtual exhaustion of the contract stock of oats here gave some inde- pendent strength to the oats market
 Wheat reflected the upward move ment of other grain. Later. however, something of a setback was witness ed.
 Provisions rose with corn. Lower quotations on hogs had a depressing influence at the outset but not of a lasting character.

6, 900 Freight Cars Needed To Distribute Material for
 Building Of CdntOnnaents

Uncle Sam's tremendous war busi- ness has already begun to move and is the principal reason behind the con certed campaign undertaken by the railroads to induce the shippers not to waste an inch of car space. Estimates by the New York Journal of Commerce indicate that 64,OOO freight cars will be needed to haul construction mater ials to the 16 cantonments which will house the new American army. This does not include cars that will be need ed to move troops nor the $500 to 5000 workmen who will be attached to each military city. Then, too, it must be remembered that many of these cantonments will be located where no terminal railroad facilities exist, and these will have to be con sidered before work on the canton ments themselves can start.
 Figures given out by the War De- partment mediate the tremendous bur den that will be placed upon the rail roads.
 Concrete work in each cantonment is estimated to require 4700 barrels of cement, 14OO cubic yards of sand 2500 cubic yards of broken stone or screened gravel, over 2500 kegs of nails, 5.6OO.O0O board feet of boards. 7,S00, 900 board feet of dimension stuff, TIT, ,OOO feet of 4x4 inch timber. 2.SOO.- 900 feet of flooring, 100000 feet of siding and 100000 feet of matched boards. These figures vary in the Northern and Southern states to allow for climatic adaptions. The northern states will require more lumber than given above.
 Estimates of the total requirements of electrical equipment for the sixteen military cities amounts to 2O.SOO0OO
Bisbee daily review., 1917-07-11

feet of insulated wire, 260,000 feet of lamp cord, 125.OOO key sockets, and about the same number of shades, 10000 cleat receptables, 22.000 snap switches, 27,S00 combined switches and plug cut-outs; 75.000 plug fuses; 3,000,000 pairs of unglazed porcelain tubes, about 7,00O,000 1 IA to 21-4 in. wood screws; $500 pounds of friction tape, 4.OO0 pounds of solder, and other items on a similar scale.
 In order to extinguish fires in these cantonments about $500 fire extin- guishers, 5000 water casks, 120.000 water pails, and 3SO,O0O feet of hose will be on hand.
 The plumbing calls for about 1,600.- 900 feet of pipe, 40,000 closets and tanks; 30.OOO shower bath heads, and tremendous quantities of pipe fittings, sinks, boilers. etc.
 Bear in mind that while the railroads are hauling all this load for the gov ernment over tracks and into termin- als that they have been compelled in many cases to build especially for the purpose. all the factories of the coun- try must be kept supplied with fuel and raw materials, the huge crops must be moved to market. and the greatest industrial traffic the country has ever known kept moving smoothly day and night.
 Patriotism of the American people will have to be indicated by making maximum use of freight cars in the future. Perhaps the greatest economic waste of today is in failure to utilize freight car capacity. Averages show that but 49 per cent of car space is used Increased loading is an obvious if the government is to be properly

The boys of company H of the First Arizona at Naco are telling this one on Stafford McFarland: The jokers of the camp got together the other day and decided to play a real one on Nc Farland, whom they regarded as heartbreaker (Mac s avs they were jealous). So they sent him a note written in a charming female hand asking him to meet his fair admirer at the Junction bridge at g o'clock. Mac fell for it and was there on the dot with his shoes shined until they reflected the rays of the moon like a silver lake. One of the jokers was there. too, dressed as a woman. He was evidently a good female imper- senator for the soldier ladied her to the steps of the mess room hall and was making love in the dark when the boys switched on the light. Every one laughed but Mac. They are to have a chicken dinner at his expense if they Will not laugh any more.
