GAS EXPLOSION

Friday morning William Green, the
colored porter and bootblack at the
Stag Barber Shop got a shock that
burned him severely and by a lucky
chance just missed inflicting serious
injury, in an explosion of an auto
matte gas water heater.
He was lighting the heater, and
bent over to see the burner, to apply
the match. 1t seems there was a leak
and when the lighted match came in
contact with the leak there came an
explosion which wrecked the water
heater and blew Green through the
open door, out into the back yard.
Had the door been closed the force
and violence of his contact might
have killed the boy.
Green was burned about the eyes,
and bruised by the force when he
hit the ground outside. Doctor Smell
ker was called and administered first
aid. The injured man was taken to
his room.

Friends of the National Rural Sur

terday by the Rev. Trevor w. Orton,
needing a wire from State Superin-

to Tucson Sunday evening, to make
the county survey map showing con-
ditions and needs as they have been
found. Mr.. Orton was busy man all
day.
While in this work Mr.. Ortton has
heceived a call to the charge of a
church in the coal mining region OF
New Mexico. He feels it an oppor-
tunity to really serve in the present
industrial problem.
The same mail brought Mr.. Orton
a call to the charge of church in
Oregon, offering either of two i'm
portant charges, in each place where
he is well known through several
wears of active service before coming
to Arizona.
One of the prospective charges is
superintendency of the Klamath In
dian Mission. He is awaiting fuller
particulars, in the meanwhile debat,
ing whether Arizona and Nogales are
not best.
Prior to receiving these offers, Mr.
Orton had partially decided to locate
in Nogales, where he says great
work awaited doing for boys anC
Young men through the schools
churches and Y. M. c. A. He hopes
ardently that the proposed Y. M. c

Conference of Miners and

Arranging New Wage Scale.
BY United Press

BY United Press:
BUFFALO. y. Y. oct. THE
joint conference OF miners and op-
orators of the central competitive
soft coal field today began the real
work Of negotiating "A new wage
scale and new working conditions.
The possibility Of strike on Nov.
l seemed more remote than at any
time since the conference began last
week, following elimination of ex-
treme propositions of both sides
Vote Down Maximum.
Following the rejection by the
operators of the miners original
demand for a 60 percent increase in
wages and a 80 hour week. the CON
ference voted down the operators
maximum, which was that the scale
Of 1915. called the Washington
agreement, be continued until April
1, 1920.
The first peace proposal came
from the operators side i'm the mo-
ton TO proceed to negotiate new
contract. It was conceded that the
gap between miners and operators
was wide one but representative
OF both sides expressed hope that IL
would be bridged SO the threatened
strike of 400, 600 men on Nov /
would be avoided.

Dan Cupid Fails
to Join Strikers
During September

Dan Cupid is certainly not among
those striking during the month Of
Septem Der. One hundred and seven
teen marriage licenses were issued at
the county clerks office during the
past month, 23 more than the month
preceding and the largest monthly
issue with the exception OF June
during the year Of 1919.
Whether the drop in food prices
has given more hopes OF succeeding
upon the matrimonial sea or wheth-
er they just can't wait is not known
but County Clerk Warner said they
came thick and fast during the
month. But 95 were issued during
August and 100 during July.
However with the increase Of
marriage licenses there is a CORES
ponding increase in divorces filed
during the month. there being 43
requests in the circuit and superior
courts This is 10 more than the
month OF August and nine less than
that OF July. OF the 43 cases, SO of
them were applied for in superior
court which is becoming known as
the divorce court. Applications are
so numerous in that court that Judge
Montgomery consumes nearly the
entire day of Saturday each week in
the hearing Of divorce cases. Satur-
day is usually holiday in court but
Judge Montgomery considered it
necessary TO work overtime in order
10 try all cases that are on the doc
ket this term.
