REDucED COST SUGAR
 PRODUCTION SECURED

HONOLULU. T. H., Jan. IA new process for the manufacture of sugar from .final molassesn which was announced at the annual meet ing of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association this month may. it is es- timated. result in saving of not less than s2,500,OOO year to the sugar men of the Hawaiian islands, and effect even greater saving in Cuba and other cane-growing .coun- tries.
 The process was announced by J. N. S. Williams, of the island of Maui, who is the inventor. He has not patented his process and it's use is therefore, open to all sugar growers. The planters association went on record as recognizing MT. Williams discovery as the biggest achievement of the year in the sugar industry.
 The process takes from the SO Fcalled final molasses' approximately
 one half of the 8 per cent of sugar
 that has hitherto been considered a
 total loss. No process has been known
 by which this sugar could be crystal
 ized and recovered.

It was the intention of the com mittee in charge of arrangements to make this a time long to be remem- bered in Oddfellow circles and that their plans were carried out was the concensus of opinion of all who were fortunate enough to enjoy their hos pitality,
 Several members of the order were present from Morenci and did their share in making the evening sue cess. MT.

GOVERNOR WILL BE NAMED IN COURT
 RULING
Ives Asks, Where is campbeII's Com mission?'; That's a New Trick on Me- Justice Ross Replies; Tribunal Resents AIlenged Hunt Trick.
RuMoR SEN. SMITH ILL
 IS BRANDED AS FAKE

Phoenix, Jan. 4.-At the conclusion of the hearing in the supreme court today on the application of Thomas E.. Campbell for writ of mandamus to compel Governor Hunt to turn over the office of governor to him, the, court announced that decision would probably be rendered on Saturday morning. .- ~
 The greater part of the argument of Eugene s. Ives, counsel for Hunt, was on his motion to strike from the complaint all reference to events pre- ceding the issuance to MT. Campbell |of his certificate of election; that is that the votes had been declared by election boards, canvassed by the county boards of s supervisors and again by the secretary of state. He desired the applicant to stand alone on the fact that he held a certificate of election.
 Must Be New Tricky Says Justice Ross.
 This, MT. Ives then oontended, was insufficient; that MT. Campbell should hold commission such as had been issued to all candidates elected to state offices These commissions had been issued by Gov. Hunt. Al this point MT. Ives was interrupted by Justice Ross of the court who re marked that he had been given com mission this year for the first time Said he:
 T have been elected to this office three times and this is the first time | have had commission; this mus I be some new sort of trick. | The attorneys for MT. Campbell | Srauc little attention fn tho motion 0 Mr. Ives. They contended that though the certificate of election was suf6 cient, it was proper to outline the cir cumstances and the steps leading III to it's issuance. They devoted them selves almost entirely to the introduc i tion of opinions in support of theil contention that the certificate of cleo ttion was a sufficient warrant for talk ing office.
 l Before taking up the case Justice i Franklin of the court called attention to the publication in the Arizona Re l publican of an article in which it wal stated that a rumor that United States Senator M. A. Smith was dan gerously i'll at Washington was circu lated; that the Republican had ascer
 tained that the rumor was unfoundet
 and that it had been given circulation by the friends of Governor Hunt, pre-
 sumably with the purpose of infuenc ] ing the court in favor of Hunt, sine
 ir would devolve upon the de fact governor to appoint successor to MT
 Smith in the event of his death. Tn
 mem bers of the court resented the pu
 lica tion and asked the counsel fo
 both Campbell and Hunt to disavo1
 any connection with either the natur I of the publication or the implicatio
 that the court had been subjected t
 influence. This disavowal was made

One of the saddest fatalities to take place in Clifton for some time occurred at. the Hi1 school in Sou n Clifton Tuesday noon whereby the life of little Mary Salerni, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Frank Salerni, was sacrificed.
 During the noon recess the little girl, who was eight years old. climb ed the hill back of the building to jcin some playmates and eat her lunsh. In asc ,ndirg the side ot fhe mountain she in some nienner loosen ei huge boulder we;ghinz several hundred pounds and the rock and child rolled down the hill togethe and bringing up at the bottom with the rock resting rsitly on rhs child.
 Teachers and p,iymstes rushed to her assistance when it was found that the rock had crushed her side. She was breathing laboriously and was thought also to have sustained other to the A. c. hospital where every thing possible was done for her. but in spite of all efforts the little girl passed away about nine o'clock Wed nesday morning.
 The death of the little girl is de plorable and coming in such trasic manner was distinct shock to her parents as well as schoolmates and those who knew her best.
 The funeral was held this morning at II o'clock from the Catholic church and was one of the largest ever held in Clifton, there being at least 500 people in the procession. The funeral cortege was led by the Italian band of Morenci, followed ai- rectly by the white casket which was borne by six companions of the de- cea sed. The procession also includ- ed Prof. Davis, of the public schools, and all of the teachers and pupils of the grammar school of which the lit tie girl was member.
