TRICK CAUSES RIOT

Jack Crooks, one of the unique
baseball characters In the earl
Ter days, who died recently In
81. Louis, was a good infelder,
n fair batter and born comedian
of the KellyLatham school.
One trick prepetrated by
Crooks caused n small riot. 4
quarter of n century ago he was
playing third one day, and. with
the bases full, a perfect bunt
was laid down along the base
Independently the modern
squeeze play, but with no chance
to throw out the batter.
Crooks ran up, knelt beside
the ball as 1t came to stop just
inside the llne-and blew Ii out
side the diamond. Nothing In
the rules to punish the trick /;
the hit had to be declared foul,
the batter came back and famed
and the game was over. Imag-
inc the upheaval that followed
but the play went.

JOHNS MANTLE CO.
 TO FIX UP COURT ROOM
(From Saturdays Daily)

The board of supervisors and the
 architects who erected the new
 court house, yesterday made arrange
 ments with a representative ot the
 Tohns-Nanville Company for the lm-
 mediate repair of the defective acous-
 ic properties in the Superior court room. The conipany's representative. Ted Decker of Fl PasO, was here
 yesterday and went over the situation
 with the officials. By the terms ot
 .he contract signed yesterday, the
 asbestos firm Is to cover the ceiling of the big room with some some sort of a felt or asbestos composl- ion which they guarantee to break the deafening sound waves which nave haunted the court room since he day it was opened. The exact nature of the covering which will be furnished for the top of the room $ trade secret, but the application of the sheeting will eliminate the
 necessity of having to hang draper
 es at the windows and also ot hay ing to string wires criss-crosS about Inc room.
 Because of the fact that it has been practically impossible to hear anyone speaking in the court room, Judge Sweeney has for the past few weeks been holding all sessions of the superior court in one of the small rooms at the northwest corner of the top flcor of the building. the room having been fitted up with the an- tioue furniture which was used in the old court room. This court room was rather hard to find. however. and ! stranger about the building was all most forced to employ the services cf a guide to reach the place. The johns Manville people expect to have he large court room ready for busi- ness bv about the first of December, at which time Judge Sweeney hopes Q be able to call in a jury for the long-dclayed trial term of the Su- perior court. While the court did not at any time close down during he prevalence of the influenza, its activities have for many weeks been confined to the settlement of probate matters and the hearing of cases which did not necessitate the pres ,nce of jury. Consequently the cases have been piling up 'or many weeks, and a busy and in- eresting session is expected when ,ver a jury can be brought in.

 The population cf the state, count ing reservation Indians who did not iigu-e in the draft IS only in the nciehborhood of 25O.000.

MINERAL SPHERE TRANSFORMED
 BY TIE WAR
(From Fridays Daily)

O. F. Thuridge, of San Juan coun- ty, Colorado, who is in the city after making observations of placer pos abilities east of Octave and par ticularly along Fools creek, paral- leling the Hassayampa river, is de- cidedly optimistic over the future of this feature of mining. When seen at his hotel yesterday he said:
 Tn my home country, noted for it's auriferous mineral resources, many large operations are shaping mp The zone in this country where have been was presented to my company. and of course my opinion is reserved. The cleaning up of this war is going to bring gold pre- cminently to the front, but I will not advance any theory as to what prem ium rate is to be fixed. 1 am not heavily interested on quartz opera ions, as we are solely placering, by four processes, according to condi- tions best applicable for recovery, with water facilities an essential gov erning factor. Will say the pre- dominant minerals to my view Of the situation, are first, placer gold, quartz gold and silver. An immense sum is to be used of the latter min cral as it is absolutely necessary for comon circulation. It is now current \ thought that silver bullion has been lavishly used by the nation as the basis of the high explosive known as T. N. T.: in other words illuminate of silver forms the basic element of
 his frightful agency of destruction. How much silver has been convert d into this use? It is estimated at ! billion ounces by conservative
 manufacturers. The silver supply IS practically exhausted as a circulating medium, and the metal must be built
 ID again Hence the present mar
 ,et value. which will remain undis- .urbed for years. Gold comes in as | guarantee of world money and IS
 he backbone of stability by which the universe is to be rated from now on in the vast obligations to be met md liduidated So gold mining measures all things, and must gov .rn. I believe that there are many sections in Central Arizona where operations can be expected in placer
 ng, particularly, but processes must 1e solved according to typographical conditions. Will say 1 came to the country on the request of civil en- gineer at one time with the Walnut Grove Water Storage Co.,; and 1t IS
 iuite probable I will return to pass further on what is presented my people"

SUIT AGAINST DR. FINN APPEALED
 BY M 'CARTHY
WHO ALLEGES MALPRACTICE, REVIEWS ACTION IN SUPRE EME COURT; ASKS DAMAGES AMOUNTING TO S42,O00.

PHOENIX, Nov. 13. - The case of Frank AI Mccarthy, plaintiff, against the Pamsctgaaaf company, defendant, from Yavapai county, was filed in supreme court today on ap- peal from Yavapai county. This was an action for damages in which the jury had returned verdict for the defendant. The defendant company is the owner of sani;arium at Pres colt which makes 2 speciality of treat ing tubcrcular cases. The plaintiff, who is wealthy eastern attorney, and was troubled with inciUent tu- berculosis, was attracted by the literature of the institution, and en- tered ii.
 He was receiving the expected im- provement, he said. when about the tenth of September, 1915, he felt a pain in the vicinity of "AIcBurney's Point" That might have suggested appendicitis. and if it had not, the continued pain and subsequent vomiting might have done so, but he says that nobody but himself seemed interested in the pain.
 It was not until October 10 that it was definitely settled that he had appendicitis and would have an operation, for which he paid $292. He claims that it was not skilfully per formed, pcritonitis resulted and al- together for such errors of judgmcn, and carclessness he complains of, h.: demanded judgment in the sum Of Sl5,OC0.
 As further cause of action he states that while he was lingering with an unloading wound from the operation he was recommended to a So-called sun cure" which he en- dured for sometime in various and increasing degrees of nakedness un- til he was almost frozen. During this period he says he enjoyed no peace of mind whatever On that account he asks for judgment in the sum of S4,OOO.
 It is also alleged that he is an at torney and in that profession could reasonably earn S4,000 annually, and that he might have been in reason able expectation of such an annual return for period of ten years. But in consequence of the treatment he had undergone he had been unfitted Tor practice. Altogether he asks judgment in the sum of S42, ,230.
