F. N. WOLC0TT OF
 TOMBSTONE MEETS
 DEATH BY ACCIDENT
Was Killed While Hunting in
 the Chiricahus Mountains.
 Details Are Lacking. Resi- dent of County Since 1881.

Telephone word was received here late yesterday afternoon to the effect that F. N. Wolcott, the Tombstone mer- chant, had met his death while out hunting in the Chiricahua mountains. No details of how his death occurred could be obtained. The report was phoned in from Pearce. that he had met his death and that Judge Winters of Lowell was there with the body.
 As far as could be ascertained Mir Wolcott and his son Newton left Tombstone on Sunday afternoon fer hunting trip to the mountains in the hopes of securing a deer, and went to the mountains in the vicinity of the head of Shaw canyon, and that early this morning he met his death. There were no particulars as to whether he was killed by someone, who took him for a deer, or whether he was killed by his own gun. but the latter seems hardly probable as he had been handling guns for years and was regular hunter. As soon as the word reached Tombstone Deputy Sheriff Harry Rafferty. accompanied by John w Walker and Edward Hughes, left in a machine to the scene of the ac- cident. Up to a late hour last night they had not returned to Tombstone or to any place of communication. Theer are no phones now in that sec ticn Of the country.
 Mir Wolcott was one of the pioneer residents of Cochise county. He came to Tombstone in 1881 and engaged in the mercantile business and has con tinued in that business up to the pres ent time. He was married in Tomb stone in 1884 to Miss Emma Kringle are three children, Mrs. Eva Wallace, the oldest being a resident of Warren; Mrs. Lucy Kyle of Fl Paso, and the son Newton, who was with him at the time of his death and who has been a resident of this district for the past few years, and who only recently re- turned from San Antonio, where he passed the examination to enter the aviation corps and is awaiting call
 MT. Wolcott was man of sterling character and his friends throughout the state of Arizona are numbered by the thousands and they will regret to learn of his untimely end. He was member. of the Masonic lodge of Tombstone and the funeral services will no doubt be held under their aus pices. In the death of Mir Wolcott Cochise county loses one of its most substantial citizens and a man who has been the friend to many poor miner and prospector in the early days of the county. He was 67 years of age

CHICAGO, Oct 22.-Dealing frankly and boldly with the social evil as a menace to the nations military effici- ency, Secretary Daniels of the navy in an address here tonight before the Clinical Congress of Surgeons of North America, appealed to the medical pro fession to end the false double stand ard that decreases military effective ness. The profession, he declared must share its part of the blame for the unpardonable prudery that endur- ed a fostering evil ra .her than have it exposed authenticated
 There is not an army in the field whose effectiveness is not reduced by reason of immoral disease" said Secre- tary Daniels.
 The navy suffers likewise and busi- ness halts because venereal disease destroys the manhood of workers and fighters. During the last statis ical year men of the American navy lost 141,3 days sickness from small gl1up of absolutely preventable dis eases, or rather diseases contracted by sin. This means that every day throughou. the year there were 456 men disabled by this disgraceful nal ady Add to that number those re- quired to care for the disabled and we have enough men on the non-effectiYe list each day to man a modern battle ship. And this does nos count those who though diseased were not disabled members of the crew In the navy in 1915, there were admitted for treat. ment for venereal diseases 112 persons in every 1000 and in the army S4 for every 1000, the number in the army having died from 145 to the 1000 af. ter the act stopping the pay of sol diers admitted for treatment for vener- cal disease The new navy laws stop ped the pay of men so afflicted and will probably reduce the number to the army ratio. But these figures show condition of immortality upon the part of the minority in both arms of the service that challenges the thought of the authorities.

POTATO FARMERS EXCITED.
when Tobers Reached 500 All Kinds
of Them Came Out Ror Sale.

The biggest potato market In Michi-
gan Is in Traverse City and that mar
ket went wild last Monday when pota-
toes sold for $500 bushel.
SO great was tho impression that
farmers who came TO market refused
To sell for that price and put their
stock in storage which was the most
significant feature OF the days trad
ing The price started that morning
at sl.75 and was gradually forced up
until at noon II was Sl95. A little
later two antagonistlc buyers declared
war and 81 potatoes had arrived. Lat
er 10 the afternoon the price advanced
to S201 a bushel
The news spread quickly through
.he country and the farmers through
out the region started for the city.
Many Of them have thousands OF bush
els in storage and have been awaiting
the present price before selling. Nov
that Il has arrived they display ten
dency TO hold their stock for a few
cents more. The weather had modcr-
ated considerably in the last few days
giving the growers an opportunity to
deliver their potatoes.
This Is the drst time in the history
OF northern Michigan that any such
price has becn touched. the preceding
record being ,i.77 paid one day a week
ago. A conservative estimate piaces
the amount OF potatoes still In thu
hands OF the growers at rs per cent
about 100000 bushels.

KEEPING A SECRET

There is no one in the world who
can and does keep a secret better than
the average newspaper reporter. Good
reporters are always taken into the
confidence OF the leading business men
OF a town or city. They also have the
confidence OF many lawyers. They
know, frequently many days In ad-
vance, that this or that story is going
TO break upon such and such day
There is not one reporter In hun
dred who would betray ono OF these
condolences under any circumstances.
He knows, II no did, that that partic-
ular source Of information Is forever
closed TO him. For uprightness, hon
esty and integrity the newspaper re-
porter is or should be known.
To illustrate, let us relate one ex-
perience. The prosecuting attorney in
certain county told OF an indictment
OF quite prominent man on a crimi-
nal charge. The lawyer promised to
send the case to the grand jury inn
medlately after the noon recess. The
reporter wrote his story. told of the
indictment and gave many details.
After his paper was out he visited the
courtroom and gave the Judge copy
OF the paper containing the story. The
Judge was amazed and said that the
story was false. But the reporter
hurriedly asked the prosecuting at
toruey TO send In the indictment. He
did so at once. and all w-s well.
His paper scored big beat. but had
not this reporter been in the conf
dence of that lawyer be never would
