Central school property is of vital in- terest to the school board" stated MT Loper. "On account of the war and other restrictions no building for school purposes has been done for two years. We closed the schools last year with 300 more students than the pre- vlous year It is estimated that the present school year will end with an excess of 1000 pupils over the previous year. The contracts have been signed for the construction of a Wentworth school building and for additional buildings on the Mckinley and Adams school grounds. There is still due from the sale of the Central school block $11O,OO0 large part of which was ex- pected to be used in payment for these buildings. If this money is not forth coming, there will be no building. If this suit is permitted to amount to any thing it will put stumbling block ir the way of the public schools. This is fully as severe, if not even more so than the hotel project"
 To Join With Realty Board
 It was directed by the Rotary club that the public affairs committee of that club take up this matter with the realty board for immediate action.
 After a further discussion the resoIu- ton was put to a vote of the club and was adopted with a shout that left no doubt where the Rotary club stands on the matter of obstructing the building of the million dollar hotel.
 Captain A. c. Taylor was the chair man of the day.
 President Wallace c. Button made a report to the club of his visit to the convention of Rotary clubs recently held at Salt Lake City.

5TOP TRYING TO BLOCK BIG HOTEL SAY ROTAR|ANS
In Unanaimous Resolution
 Members Condemn Att tempt to Prevent Sale of
 Land and Ask Suit Ended

With a ringing resolution, adopted in no uncertain tones, the members of the Phoenix Rotary club at their reg ular luncheon meeting yesterday con- demned the move to Obstruct the build ing of the million dollar hotel in this city and unanimously requested the plaintiff, J. T. Murphy, to dismiss the suit and not 10 attempt to delay the transfer of portion of the Central school block from the school trustees to the men who have financed this ho tel. so greatly needed by Phoenix.
 The resolution, which was presented by Judge r.. W. Lewis and immediately seconded, is as follows:
 Be it resolved, by the Rotary
 club of Phoenix, that the institu-
 ton of the suit of ]. T. Murphy
 versus the school trustees to re-
 strain the sale of the Central school
 block be condemned and that the
 plaintiff be requested to imme-
 diatey dismiss the suit"
 Means Much to Phoenix
 The building of this hotel,' said Judge Lewis in presenting the resoIu- tion, means more to Phoenix at the present time than anything else. On account of the poor and insufficient hotel accommodations in this city we cannot hold a convention here, cannot entertain the visitors to the annual state fair nor accommodate the many thousands of tourists who desire to come here.
 As to the merits of this suit which has been started to Obstruct the hotel project, this case has been considered by four of the most prominent law firms of the city and they have found nothing in the law to prevent the alie- nation of this property"
 Another side of the matter and a fur ther embarrassment this suit has oc- easioned was presented at the Rotary club meeting by John D. Loper, super intendent of public schools.

MEXICAN HERO REscuEs MINER

JEROME, Oct. 15-A Mexican muck CT, Pablo Morales, proved himself hero last night when, with one eye blown out by blast, he carried an unconscious fellow worker, William Hess, 200 yards to reach assistance.
 Hess, a mlner, and Morales, muck CT, were working in drift on the 5OO- foot level of the United Verde. Hess was loading a round of holes that he had just drilled. It is assumed that while he was engaged in this work his lamp touched the powder in short hole. At any rate, there was an eX- plosion that knocked both men down.
 Both Moreles' eyes were filled with rock and dirt and one was so badly injured that what remained of the orb was later removed at the hospital. For a miracle, he was not knocked un- conscious. When he picked himself up and peered about with his good eye he saw Hess lying covered with blood.
 Morales, who is a much smaller man than Hess, picked up the other and carried him until he met assist ance. From the point where the ac- cident occurred to the plae where Morales gave up his burden is fully 200 yards.
 At the hospital is was found neces- sary to amputate Mess right arm Otherwise he is hurt only slightly. Aside from the loss of his eye, Nor ales' injuries are of no great conse- quence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-There is no indication of an immediate drop in footwear prices, J. Frank McElwain. president of the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers association said tonight in a statement in which he as serted that his remarks at the Middle States Shoe Wholesalers association here yesterday had been misquoted. MT. McElwain had been quoted as pre- dieting that shoe prices were due for a tumble after Christmas.
 Mir. McElwain in his statement said that "shoe prices have never reached the high peak represented by the August price of hides" Although hides have declined 20 per cent in price since the August high point, shoe costs have been based on still lower figures, it was stated. Desirable leath- CT is also extremely scarce, he said
 Tt is my opinion that shoe prices for spring will be no lower than at present" the statement concluded.

 Preachers, diggers, clerks and writers, The ones I count my frmest friends,
 The quickest thinkers, hardest fighters, Are just the lawyers I sit amongst,
 And chatter with when work has ghtened- Who know the world it's ups and downs
 Who have my sad hours often frightened. They've searched the heart of sinful man,
 They've probed it deeply scanned it we'll They the cloak of charity,
 And carefully their stories tell. 1 love them for their gift of gab
 The keen, sharp brain that's to them given And sometimes think that they alone May be the best we have from Heaven!

cANANEA CHINESE MERCHANTS
 ALLOWED TO REOPEN STORES

DOUGLAS, Oct. 15.-A number of Chinese merchants whose stores were closed a few weeks ago by order of the municipal government of Cananea, have been allowed to reopen for busi- ness by the city council, according to arrivals here, but with the distinct un- derstanding that the stores shall be losed December 31. During the inter- i'm the merchants have promised to dispose of their stocks of goods they hold. Several former Chinese have become Mexican citizens and will be allowed to continue in business after their unnaturalized brethren have been forced out, it was stated. In ad- vocating this plan at meeting of the city council recently, the mayor
 Julian s. Gonzales, said he was act ing at the suggestion of Governor Adolfo de la Huerta of Sonora, who in conversation a short time previous ly had offered this plan as possible way of preventing the monopoly in merchandising enjoyed by the Chinese. Similar campaigns soon are expected to be started in other parts of Sonora, it was reported today, if the Cananea campaign against the Chinese proves successful.
