ORANGE TH|EVERY
 BEING STOPPED BY
 PLAIN CLOTHES MEN

The orange thieves are being stead fly gathered in by the plain clothes men of the Arizona Orange assccia ton. Members Of prominent families have been implicated in these thefta. The orange growers are determined that the pilfering from their orchards must cease.
 Motorists arc the most common of lenders, who think it is small crime to dump a box of oranges into the ton neau of an automobile and speed away. Further arrests are promised.
 One, gang which has been operating in wholesale way by means of l Ford truck. has taken fright and left the country. The orange growers think that many of the thieves get their idea from the old practice of rob ping apple orchards. But they point out that it is one thing to enter aL orchard and pick up apples that would otherwise go to waste, from the ground, and another to steal oranges which have been raised at great ex- pense, every one of which is worth real money.
 Said a member of the association last night: Some of these people wh. plunder the orange orchards have d crooked view. For instance, one promi nent dairyman of this valley was heard to boast the other day that he hao | overcome the high price of oranges by picking a couple of dozen from a' ! orchard along the way. What wouIt | he think of an individual who would get around the high price of milk by helping himself to bottles of milk from this dairymans wagon"

DEMAND FOR FUR
 NEVER LETS UP
(Philadelphia InQuirer)

Annual sales of immense quantities of belts at St. Louis and New York in- dicate that next season the women folk are going to pay well for their furs. The whole animal kingdom is being searched for skins, and even the harmless, nee essary cat must contribute. As for the muskrat and other belts which once were considered vulgar, they have now reached the ranks of aristocracy in price and in the persons of those who wear them. The old-time favorite furs of fashion have attained high values.
 Not all of the furs in markets are for style. Armies demand many and q good deal of the fur is removed to make hats and other articles. But the women are responsible for most of the high prices. Nowadays they must have furs in the hottest weather and this all -te year round demand is joy to the furriers. It is fortunate that the art of preparing furs has reached such a stage that the humblest skin may be camouflaged 10 look stylish--at least for a. time.
 All this is rather hard on the anil mals, which seem to be disappearing from the best hunting grounds. It would make an old Hudson bay trader weep to see the prices now commended by belts which at one time he would have held in contempt. Great Britain and France looked upon the New World more as source for furs and fish than for gold and silver, which appealed 10 the Spaniards and wrecked their ma . tional vitality.

BIC LEAGUE BALL
 |S ID BE RESUMED

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The positive an- nouncement that professional baseball would be resumed in the major leagues next season, with government sane ton, was made by President Ban John son of the American league tonight.
 President Johnson's announcement was made after he had received a letter from General March, chief of staff of the army who advised that the war department, under present conditions, could see no reason why the game should not be resumed.
 'The war department closed us down last September, by declaring baseball non essential, and it was only proper that the department should be con- suited in regard to our plans for re- opening" President Johnson said Consequently, 1 put the entire situa- tion before General March for his ap- proval"
 General Marchs reply to the Ameri- can league executive follows:
 'I have your letter of November 30 concerning the resumption of baseball next year, and would advise you that the war department, under present conditions, sees no reason why the game should not be resumed in accord ance with the usual schedule.
 Tt is our policy to muster out of service as rapidly as possible all the men now in the United States, who number some 100000, and we are re- turning from abroad for the purpose of discharge a number of men whicf is only limited by the shipping at oul disposal
 N"Unless there are some changes 1T the situation, which now seem impos 1 slbie, there is no reason known to u: ! why the great national game should l not be continued as usual next year The wholesome effect of a clean anC honest game like baseball is yer, marked and it's discontinuance would be a great misfortune" President Johnson understands tha | the stars of baseball wno Joined tn | service, among them Tyrus Cobb

LEFT WIFE AND BABY HERE TOELOPE WITH
 GIRL ID FLORENCE

That John Pier Quaid, accountant and well-known man about town, had a wife in this city when he eloped r-ith a pretty stenographer and married her in Florence week ago, was the sensa- tion sprung yesterday when it became known that warrants charging Quaid with bigamy, wife abandonment. and failure to Ia'ovide had been issued
 Quaid has been arrested in Miami where he is passing his latest honey moon. He will return to Phoenix to- night in the custody of Deputy Sheriff Skidmore.
 According to those who appear to be familiar with the case, in addition to the wife and nine-d day-old daughter of Quaid, who resided at 733 East Pierc street, and the stenoSrapher in office of the secretary of state who married him in good faith a week ago, there is a third woman in Bisbee who appears to have some claim on the alleged squire of danes" It is said that letter recently was received here from Bisbee in which the writer asks when Quaid will receive her.
 A few days before the eiopement of Quaid and the stenographer, brief notice appeared in The Republican an- nouncing the birth of a daughter to MT. and Mrs. Quaid. It is understood that Quaid informed certain of his friends that the article referred to his brother and sister in-law and that the child was his niece. To others he is all legged to have said he had been dl- Vorced.
 He frequently was seen in public with the girl who became his bride in Florence. Member of a prominent family in this city, the young woman's unfortunate connection with the affair was discussed yesterday when it be- came known that the bigamy charge had been sworn out in Florence. It Is understood she will immediately insti- ute annulment proceedings.
 l The deserted wife and baby, left in | indigent circumstances, have also be- gun court action. Complaints have been sworn out in Justice Wheeler S 4 court by Mrs. Arminta Harvey, mother of wife number one, charging him with wife abandonment and failure to pro-
 vide for wife and child
 The first difficulties between Mrs Quaid and her husband are said to
 have been over the coming of their lit ! tie child. Mrs. Quaid, it is alleged
 asked her husband for small amount
 of money to be used for the purchase of
 a layette in preparation of the coming
 event. He refused absolutely, it is said
 and the result was a bitter quarrel Quaid is said to have left his home a month before the elopement.

PRESIDENT WAS NO
 INFANT PRODIGY
CPresident Wilson from an English
 Point of View."-Stokes.)

("President Wilson from an English
 Point of View."-Stokes)
 President Wilson was born too late in the Nineteenth century for any such romantic boyhood as fell to the lot of Washington on the frontier or to Lincoln and Garfield in the back woods. His education followed con- ventional lines and in it's earlier stages. at any rate it brought to light no marked foreshadowing of the gifts that have raised the president to the position he holds today. Joseph Will son was pre- eminently wise in the training of his son. No attempt was made to force the boys final educa- ton. He was over before he had learned to read; but long before that his mind was being developed ana shaped by constant companionship and talk with his father, and he was already familiar with much Of Scot. and Dickens from the novels read aloud to the family in the Augusta manse
 Father and son took long walks to- getheT sometimes in the country. sometimes to inspect the factories and engineering shops and foundries in which the industrial life of Augusta centered. To thxs best of all forms of education, contact with a fertile. alert and sympathetic mind, was added such further training as was dealt to q group of Augusta youngsters at I school kept by a Mr J. T. Derry. who had laid aside his rifle after Appo- mattox and diverted his energies from the destruction of the north to the in- struction of the south.

IN THE NEXT GENERATION
(Richmond Times-Disnatcb,

Englishmen visiting this country write home that they are astonished by the absence of bragging here over our achievements in the war. Wait a bit. Our posterity will be on deck present. ly organizing the Sons and Daughters of Armageddon and growing about us--- and perhaps s'stretching it a little. Hu- man experience is that those who do things do not brag much. and that those in the midst of things do not see them very largely. Their descendants attend to the qualification. We of to- day will shine gorgeously as ances- tors, and will be at our best as splendid memories, credited with heroisms and patriotisms and sacrifices we will wish we really had committed, if we are per- mitted tor looksoverethe+si situation.

EVERYBODY WANTS
 REDHEAD GUNNER

WASHINGTON T h Q controversy over the identity of the haired gunner who fired the first shot against the Germans grows on apace and threatens every day to assume serious aspects. Indignant fathers and moth CTS Write to the war department de- manding to know why the department suppresses the names of their sons. Each, no matter what state he is from, IS sure that his son fired the shot and IS peeved because others claim the honor.
 The president of the Red Haired Mens club has sent a stirring com munication to the secretary of war de- manding, in the name of F million members of the club, to know the iden- tity of the man who fyed the first shot. The club desires to give him a iiIe membership or something.
 Sweethearts write dainty missives to the war department saying they are
 Just certain that the man who fired tne shot was "a dear friend of mine ' Altogether, the unfortunate statement | py the American correspondent that a req -halred man fired the shot has caused more commotion than the fact that the shell was fired.

LOWER THE PRICE OF
 MEAT 1T TOMBSTONE

Five cents per cut has been taken from the prices of meat in Tombstone, as reported yesterday to the food ad- ministration headquarters.
