BOLD BURGLARS HAVE TABLES
 TURNED
ATTEMPT WAS ADE SATURDAY MORNING TO ROB CITY STABLES OF VALUABLE PROPERTY, BUT UNSUCCESSFUL.
From Sundays Daily.l

Yesterday morning at about 3 o'clock two if not more burglars en- tered the city stables near the Crys- tai Ice works, in an effort to rob the place of several sets of harness and other property, but they were unsuc- ccssful. The keeper Of the livestock, whose name was not learned, was awakened from his sleep, and appre- ciating what the purpose was of the robbers, grasped his gun and was in the act of firing when his hand was jerlcd upward, the bullet entering the ceiling The mixup awoke George Foreman, a city teamster, who was in the loft, and when he descended in one jump down stairs with gun ih hand, was able to fire only one shot at a fleeing form in the dark. The two city employees concluded it would be dangerous to pursue, in the dark, the robbers, and after locking the stables awaited developments. That the intention was to secure the new harness sets, valued at over $100 each, is believed, and to carry away the loot is also the impression. Owing to the darkness no description could be as certained of the would-be thieves.

HASSETT RUGGED THAT LUCKY
 HORSESHOE
CLARKDALE SOLDIER BOY WAS ONE OF ONLY r WHO ESCAPED IN THE FAMOUS ARGONNE FIGHT OVERSEAS.
(From Tuesdav's DailyO

After a period of deep anxiety as to what fate had overtaken their son on the firing line overseas, Mir and Mrs. w. p. Hassett. of Clarkdale, are happy parents, having been informed few days ago that the Yavapai Yank had pulled through under cir cumstances that seem miraculous. He is now somewhere near the port of embarkation, and in due time will ar rive home. He writes a thrilling let ter. saying that of his company of 25O men engaged in the memorable Ar gonne forest fight. he was one of only r who escaped being either killed or wounded. The losses were the most frightful of any American unit en- gagged in any battle overseas, show ing that the work assigned them was not only hazardous but sacrificing in order to accomplish the objective.
 Private Hassett modestly recftes his, vivid experience, saying: "We went in 10 fight, and the warmer 1t got the more vicious was our work. I feel sad and sorry for so many of my dear comrades going over etern- itys top, and yet I am glad on ac- count of you folks at home, that I too was shoulder to shoulder with them, and that I was missed seems an act of divine providence; but they never touched me. and I am coming back home soon to tell you all the story, which is clothed with sadness and fringed with heroism."

HOLBROOK COLD WITH
 BILLION TONS OF COAL.

HOLBROOK, Mar. |. With lit orally billions of tons of coal within less than a hundred miles, the coal dealers of the Town of Holbrooll were for many of the coldest days this winter entirely out of that com modity. The word billions" is used advisedly, for a United States gov ernment geologist (Marius R. Camp bell, in Bulletin 431 of the L. s. Geo logical Srvey), is authority for the statement that in the Black Mesa coal field, on the Hopi Indian reser- vation north of Holbrook, there is q total of upwards of 14,0O0OOO,O0O tons of coal
 This of course cannot be exploited at present, but there is a coal field close to the Apache railway, which will doubtless be opened up within the next few months. The Apache railway, which runs from Holbrook 70 miles south, is now nearly com pleted and trains will be running or regular schedule in about a month It was built primarily to open up for what is said to be the largest belt of standing timber in the United States, but it also runs close to this coal field, which mas hitherto been undeveloped for want of trans portation facilities.
 A group of capitalists is now igur ing on opening up these coal deposits and their plans not only contemplate placing the best of the product on the market for fuel purposes, but in. cludes the erection of an immense plant for generating electric power As the poorest of the coal-what is known as mine run"-iS good

ARMY SUPLUS PROPERTY
 NOT TO GO TO WASTE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. - All army surplus property will not be thrown on the open market. A plan has been worked out whereby it will be offered for sale to the state insti- tutions. It is hoped thus to prevent the flooding of the market with fin ished material and at the same time offer the state institutions an oppor- tunity for providing employment for inmates. As soon as the states notify the waste reclamation service of the department of commerce of their needs the request will be turned over to the war department for action. Captain H. L. Baldensperger ilas been assigned by the war department 10 assist in the work of the waste rec lamation service.
 This program has been worked out by Hugh Frayne, chairman of the labor division, war industries board, who says:
 "In cooperation with John J. Man ming of the American Federation of Labor and Captain Baldensperger who has been an executive of a prison reform association, I have sponsored a movement for a nationwide system of reclamation by means of the labor of the inmates of the public institu- tions. As preliminary to this pro, gram we worked for a system of rec lamation in the army whereby this work was to be done by prisoners of war, general prisoners and men unfit for line duty.
 The success of the salvage activi- ties of the army strengthens my be- lief that a similar system should be adopted by the states. We have rec commended that the army material be repaired by the inmates for the use of the institutions and in order to sue ceSsfully dispose of this material and to insure its widest distribution pos sible, we have requested the govern

O'Donnell entered the army voluntarily to avenge the death Of his friend. Thomas Arnold, of the Henri, etta mine, who was killed in action The letter follows:
 La Vertou, France, Feb. F, l9l9 Hello, Van:
 Thought I would drop you a line while not busy, and as my mind was drifting back to old Yavapai and Prescott, not to say the good old U. s. A. Well, we have drilled into old Fritzie and cleaned him up in good shape, and as whole, have had pretty good time. But there were periods when it didn't look so good, in pumping into dugouts to get at the paystreak But, after all, I wouldn't have missed this sliift Tor a great deal. and now that the Hun forma- ton has been cracked open all are anxious to go back I have met a large number of Arizonans of this regiment, but they mostly are i'll the Second battalion, while I am with the First. think 1t is better for me to be where I am. as every time we meet we pull off a "barage," Cha hal and you know that means an attack on either the champagne citadel or the cognac stockade. The result invari- ably is bunch of "casuals' in the guard house. Tell all the boys I hope soon to be with them in Prescott, as We are now stationed close to post of authorization.
 We hear that the mining business has slumped off, but everything will be shaped up again satisfactorily and be as good as ever.
 When I get back will have some thrilling stories to tell Until then, as ever, your friend,

(From Sundays d2iiy.7

"You bet l am glad to be back in
 Prescott, and I propose to remain to throw my shingle to the breeze. again to practice law" said Frank Q. Smith,
 a. former superior judge of this county, who returned yesterday after noon from France, where he had been field secretary with the Y. M
 C. A. for nearly two years. Mrs.
 Smith accompanied him from Chi cago. and both were given a whole some welcome by many friends at the depot. Judge Smith is of fine physique, carries his cordial person. alitv with the same old Hassayampa grace, and later will have something to say to the folks at home"
 As he stepped from the rear coach. ready to enter the chair car for Camp Travis, Texas, was another overseas veteran, in Ralph Monroe, of Camp Verde, who is returning to duty and to submit to medical treatment before he is discharged. This strange CO., incidence of both Yanks meeting ana greeting each other with that warmth only the soldier knows and on this side of the pond, evoked expressions from the many of tender sympathy to the wounded Yavapai boy, and when the more fortunate graspcd his hand the beauty of the sentimental OCcas- ion brought home to the many the sincerity of comradcship that will en- dure for time In connection with this exceptional mingling at home oi these two men, the ties of friendship and recalled when only last Decem Der 18th, Ralph Monroe2 while lying dangerously wounded in a base hos pital at Allery, France, wrote to his old Yavapai friend, Judge Smith, the;, on duty in France, letter that Is typical Of the American, and which was published in the Journal-Miner short time ago. There is one para graph which will bear repetition, and it is 'I was surprised to hear you were over here, and yet had thought, many times, that you could not stay on the bench while the rest of Us were over here doing what little one man could. # We were try. ing to take a hill in the Argonne for est, when one of the high explosives bursted striking me in the back, an other piece of shrapnel entered my left shoulder and came out through the back of my neck; my fingers also got it, my shoulder blade is broken, and I HAVE NO KICK COMING"
 Judge Smith stated yesterday tnat Ralph Monroe is one of the clcanest cut of the American jewels, and yes terday when they again greeted each other on Arizona soil the Verde val ley soldier boy. although crippled for life, bore his ills with a smile and disdained to curse the enemy. That the American for you, said Judge Smith, and as both again grasped each others hand, the parting was a. sincere and honest as when they both a few minutes before extended greet, ings on good old home soil, many leagues away from the strife of the past.

SCENERY STEAL PERPE-
 TRATED BY L. A. PAPER
CFrom Saturdays Daily)


 Outlanders often proceed under the theory that Arizona, one of the grandest states in the union as far as scenic beauty and impressiveness is concerned, has enough scenery for all. So, it is not uncommon that bits of this state are appropriated and used fer advertising other, less fay ored regions. An instance is called tc the attention of the editor in the following letter from Jules Baumann: Are you going to call down the Los Angeles Sunday Examiner for aDpropriating our beloved and unique Yavapai scenery and 'palming' it off for a California product. In last Sundays issue they boldly label the view of tie granite needles at P & E. function as "One of the Fantastic Rock Formations in Chatsworth Sec ton" ill the automobile section of that paper. The view is a good one and is taken from the north, and one can even see a little of the double track of our s '. P. & P railway. Go afrer them aoG have them rectify the mistake l?), a'id give our own beau titul Prescott credit for having such wonderful snow places right at our doors"
 Tn explanation of his having over looked the Examiner steal, the editor states that Ee never reads that paper, having acquired fastidious tastes in patriotic Journalism while in the army.

enough for the power generating plant, it is figured that the cost of the electricity will be very low, second only to that generated by water power.
 It is expected that ready marke' for this power, at a price which will pay big percentage of profit on the investment, will be found in the diff ferent mining camps to the south and west, and also in number of sizable communities along the line of the Apache railway clear to Holbrook Ehe big and prosperous camps of Globe and Miami could be reached with a transmission line about 75 miles in length Clifton, to the south east, is also probably close enough to make it a commercial proposition to send a wire in there.
 The department of the interior, in 1910, withdrew most of this coal field from entry, but previous to that time there had been a number of sections located. and these will furnish stuff, cient coal for the time being at least.
 The government Bulletin 431 con- tains a preliminary report by Dr, Herbert E. Gregory and Marius R. Campbell, which says of the coal in the Black Mesa field: Its quality is equal to if not better than that of the coal mined at Gallup" The Indians have been mining this coal for years as they needed it, and the govern- ment schools at Keams canyon and Tuba are supplied from mines close by.

SULLIVAN INCENSED
 AT DEMOS; QUITS.
(From Sundays Dajly)

The fight over the senatorial high way commission bill, which was des- ignated primarily to put the power to spend Arizona's millions for good roads in the hands of minor state off cials, instead of the governor, who is responsible to the people for this ex- penditure, reached a climax of bitter ness in the house yesterday morning, when J. w. Sullivan, democrat of this county, refused to vote. At that time, without his vote, the democratic poll ticians in the house knew they were doomed to failure, and their deluge Of importunities led him to leave the chamber.
 The following account of the incl dent is supplied by Phoenix paper:
 ]. w. Sullivan, the veteran member of the lower house, democrat, from Yavapai, refused to vote upon the senate highway commission bill, on final reading this morning, and upon demand that he vote or retire arose, said "I will resign and walked to- ward the door, while several mem bers pressed forth to urge him to re- ITO hell with you,' said the veteran, and left the battlefield of faction politics. The bill failed to pass.
 In the hall Sullivan, overcome through the sting of the insult, sank upon a bench. President Johns of the senate, having been notified, rush. ed from the senate chamber with Senator Green and others. Senator Green assisted Mir. Sullivan to his and he was driven to his 1otel
 During the incident in the hall, republican, of Maricopa, .alked to Sullivan, offering apologies or remarks made during debate on he floor of the house that had rous- d the ire of the veteran from Yava- oai and led to the disgraceful pro ;eedings in the house and the resig- | lation of Sullivan. Sullivan was ask, d if his resignation was permanent md he replied; q don't know"
 Sullivan's retirement turned the

tables in the vote on the highway commission bill. The democrats had lined up to pass the bill by two thirds vote. and without Sullivan they had g to II. Sullivan was call cd a second and a third time to vote. When he resigned Eddy, Francis and Sealey ordered that their votes be changed from yes to mo- Imme- diately Eddy gave notice for a recon sideration of the bill, the motion was put and carried.
 The final vote on the bill was: Ayes Bowman, Coffee, Coleman, Gull, Delbridge, Hayward, Howard, Jennings, Lines. Little, Mckay, Per kins, Richards, Stark, Vyne, Waters, Westover, Wylie, Speaker.
 Nays-Bwk, Dobson, Eddy, Frah- cis, Flood, Galbraith, Gibson, Hedrick Lacy, Lillywhite, O'Neill, Phillips, Sealey.
 There was a pause of suspense when the clerk announced the third and final reading of Senate Bill No. l7.' The gallery was well filled with mostly politicians.
 The keynote of the vote about to be taken, as announced by Galbraith, was: This is the last chance for us to make good with the people, He said there were defects in the bill, the lineup for the com comprising the governor, the secretary of state, the state treasurer, the president of the senate and the speaker of the house, saying that to start the commission off that way would be a mistake as it involved the expenditure in three years of $30,O00,- 70 and he favored that the governor have the appointive power, the con Lentson which caused the split.
