SUDDEN DEATH CALLED
 LEGAL INQUIRY
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

Judge Charles H. McLane, who was called to Cedar Glade on Tues day by the sudden death of Guada- lupe. Esquebel, on a report received that it was due to rock falling on him while at work i'll the Puntenney lime quarry, impanelled a coroner's jury to ascertain the cause, which was due, supposedly, to ptomaine poisoning. The deceased had started to work, and at the time complained of being unwell, being seized suddenly with intestinal pains of a severe na- ture, and in about half an hour later passed away.
 There were no marks of violence on his body. The deceased was the father of Mrs. H. P. Schwanbeck of Cedar Glade, and bore an excellent name for his industry and upright manhood.
 Judge McLane also mentioned the fact that the trip by automobile was made across Helrs canyon, and his car was the first to negotiate the wagon road just completed, and if that route would be selected to Ash Fork a cutoff of ten miles would be accomplished. The country is at tractive for its changing scenery.

RAILROAD INTO POLAND
 CAMP ABANDONED
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Demolition of everything connect ed with the Poland Mining company seems to have been decided upon and the once thrifty camp at the head of Big Bug creek is to pass in- to memory. The big milling and mining plants are junked, and the tlack in the Poland tunnel $500 feet in length has been removed. The fin ishing stroke in wiping out the once large mine undertaking is to soon abandon the Poland railroad of over seven miles long, and utilize the steel for something else, was the re- port in circulation yesterday.
 This railroad in the future will be used only as far as the Henrietta mine, and from the main line will have length of less than one mile, being in reality nothing more than a spur. There is nothing left along the route of this once thrifty railroad  to maintain its operation, and the few small camps will resort to wagon roads and trails as means of com munication, the primeval era again canning back to claim its own. The scene is sad one to gaze upon, but it is proverbial that when the head of the house goes everything vanishes, so when Frank Murphy passed away his 1ifework seems to be fol- lowing him ill so many instances. There is none left to take his place either at Congress or Poland, and soon both will be only mounds to his memory.

HONEST WORK CUTOFF
 SAYS ROAD MAN

VI lOlI HUI Sudl , OdllS.l
 Any person who is conversant with practical road building cannot but commend the present state ad- nlinistration in fulfilling its pledges to the people for honesty and econ omy so far as the work performed in Yeager canyon shows" said Dan Sullivan, an arrival during the week from mining camp in that region.
 In his review of the big work he also stated there is no doubt that every dollar is going into the hard formation now intsead of the soft pockets of blue sky theorists, with the result that the cutoff route from Prescott to Jerome will be a grand piece of road construction beyond any doubt. He also said, the dirt IS flying, the boulders are soaring and the camps are lively, not an em- Ploye being disgruntled, but is per forming his work cheerfully"
 The board is the best that can be had, and the men pay only SEQ d day for what could not be secured in Prescott or Jerome for twice that

NEW OPERATORS TAKE
 OVER AN OLD MINE
(From Thuzsd4y-s Daily.)

The Victor Mining company through Mark Bradley, general man. ager, has closed the deal for the In dependence claim, near Walker, Amos Swigert selling. This deal means that for the first time in its history the property is to be oper- ated on a large scale and with inn proved facilities, the original method of handling its product being by an arastra in the early eos, when its furface ores were free milling.
 MT. Bradley stated yesterday he has nearly completed a two mile long wagon road from the Eureka to his camp for hauling in hoist, engine, compressor and other equip ment, when large operations are to start.
 The early day history of this par ticular mine is quite interesting. Or iginalIy it was located by member of the Walker party, in about the year 1865, to celebrate Independence day. It paid from the grass roots un- til the base ore condition was reached when it was abandoned, no known method ill that faraway day being known by which its values could be recovered. w. A. Rowe held own ership for many years, and finally the seller acquired the property. A depth of about 300 feet was given, and it is due to the attractive min eral showing determined that Mir. Bradley has closed the deal for his company. The old shaft is being re- timbered and the property is again ready for action. The values are copper, gold and silver, and the re- viving of this particular property is causing favorable comment as one of the most important mining move ments for that field in many years.

PROPOSE A NEW
 ASSEMBLY OF FRESHMEN
(From Thursday's paiIy.l


 DUBLIN, Aug. 27.-The latest proposal put forward with view to settling the Irish question is to have a new convention, and to make it an elected constituent assembly to prepare and publish a detailed scheme for Irish self-government. This suggestion emerges from the office of the Irish Proportional Rep resentation society.
 The last convention was a nom mated body chosen by the govern ment and, though it included many men of representative position, the people had no voice ill its selection. The new convention, it is urged, should give real self-determination by letting the people choose their own representatives.
 The argument that Ireland has al ready chosen its reurespentatives and made them mostly Sim Fein repub- licans is met by all examination of the figures of the last election, with

BEAUTY BEAST HAS
 FONDNESS FOR HUMANS (Fr1 m Fridav's Dailv.1

While returning from Cedar Glade early in the week Judge Chas. H. McLane related yesterday an incl dent to occur on the road that is ex- tremely rare. With Herman Schwan- beck aboard the car also, the two men were astounded to see following them a massive buck deer, with six points, and its actions clearly indi- cated that it desired to be on friendly relations. It approached as close as 200 feet, and kept in sight for over three miles.
 When first seen it was feeding, and lifting its huge head moved toward the motorists, without showing any alarm whatever. When the gate was reached in the big enclosed tract of several thousand acres that is owned by Nelson Puntenney, the deer was also in close range. Passing through into open country the buck was seen to be leisurely moving toward that point also to be let out, but the gate was closed. It is stated this animal has been roaming in that country for many years, and in becoming ac- customed to rangemen riding and many people motoring has evidently believed it is immune from harm.
 Judge McLane also stated the massive build of this deer, it's fine condition and its stately head adorn- ment was a beautiful sight, and to kill such a noble beast would be crime. By what means it entered the big tract is not known. Prob ably it leaped over the barbed wire fence to get the best of grazing.

HIT BY RATHER

Lieutenant Oliver Erwin, mining man from the Date Creek range, is in the city and states that last Sun day he was hit on the calf of the leg by rattlesnake, but was pro- tected from injury by wearing a pair of army leather 1eggins. The fangs of the snake did not pass through to the flesh, fortunately, and the clothing was not reached either. He killed the rattler, which meas ured g inches. Lieutenant Irwin was discharged at Fl Paso last month, and is preparing to resume mine engineering, representing a Salt Lake City firm.

THE WATER PROBLEM

C. T. Joslin and M B. Haze1tine are jointly digging a we'll on North Mt. Vernon avenue that has reached a depth to date of about 80 feet, a flow of water being obtained. To reach the second strata is the inten- ton, estimated at a depth of about l25 feet. In other sections of the city old wells are being cleaned out, quite a number are using water from springs nearby for drinking, and the unused pipe line from Simmons springs west of the city is likewise being quite literally patronized by families, the source of this flow being higher than the city and free from contamination.

B|GUNDERTAK|NG BEGINS ON THE
 CUTOFF ROAD
(From Sundays Daily.)

Arrivals from Jerome yesterday said there was general comment of a favorable nature over the work on that end of the cutoff highway and that the Miller Contracting company, of San Bernardino awarded the work for the first two miles out of that city, was assembling men and material for that purpose.
 Three camps are to be established in that short distance, while some of the heaviest grading machinery is to be employed. The contract is re- ported to be $l2O,OOO for building the road on that strip, which is a gigantic undertaking and the heeaviest on the line.
 The date set for completion is not known, but probably will be ready before the first of the year. The work south in Yeager canyon con tinues, and before October the sum- init of the range overlooking Jerome will be opened, which units, when completed, will be the most essential on this highway from a construction standpoint
 The route of the cutoff has been changed from the original surveys, and instead of entering Prescott via the Four Mile house on the east, the northern link will be traversed to- ward Jerome Junction, the road en- tering the county highway aproxi- mately Is miles from the city, After leaving Yeager canyon the old freighting road to Jerome is to be followed to the merging point with the present one of the county, and in so doing a desirable piece of country will be provided for motoring. This link will have a length of over ten miles, and as straight as an arrow; where the maximum speed can be attained and with security. The change in routes will also reduce the travelling time to Jerome, and afford a greater convenience in making the trip than if the original survey had been followed. Soil conditions also are far more desirable, while cost of construction will be materially re- duced.

LOAFER CRUSADE IS
 CONDUCTED AT JEROME

 JEROME.-FOllowing an early morning session of the police court, the floating population of the com munity, at least a portion of it, was submerged. Proceeding on the theory that the aimless derelicts were a menace to commercial craft, threy were lowed out of the local lanes and set in the drift of the U. V. & P. current
 Among those who shook the dust of the community from their feet were Rudolph Gener, Felix Ibarra, Josa Romero and John Goggin, All of the men are said to have been loafing about the city for several days without visible means of support and with no apparent desire to come in close contact with employment. Goggin will be remembered as one of the more radical agitators who left the district following the institution of the strike here.
 Goggin is permitted to remain ill the country by the very law which he affects to despise. He has admit ted illegally entering the United States, but can not be deported since he has resided in the country for more than five years, the limitation under which infractions of this na- ture may be prosecuted.
 Two other men, Pete Mottos and Mike Kotcheff, will fight charges of vagrancy which have been preferred against them Both furnished bonds in the sum of $lOO each to insure their appearance in police court, When arrested Mottos was found in possession of gun, pair of brass knuckles and a handbook on anarchy, supplemented by quantity of l.

UP IN THELMA'S ROOM
 STORY IN COURT
(From Friday's Dafiy.l

The story of Up in Thelma's $ Room" was told on the witness stand yesterday by Charles Knowl- ton, hoisting engineer from Clark dale, testifying in his own behalf oil charge of white slavery The case was brought near to conclusion as far as taking evidence was con cerned.
 How Thelma Dean, married, broke in Los Angeles, was enabled to come to Jerome with funds supplied her by Knowles, and how, about a week after she arrived, she and her bene- factor fell from the stright and mar row" as the witness put it, was told by Knowlton in very calm and pos tive tones yesterday afternoon. There was but one lapse from the danger-hedged course on the part of fife two, he declared in response to questions by Attorney P w. OSul- livan, his counsel He denied that there was any intent to break the law back of his philanthropic services to Mrs. Dean.
 Many telegrams relating to her ticket and departure from Los An geles were introduced by the state Knownton explained that he had con- ferred with Mrs. Claude Smoot, a restaurant keeper, over the matter of bringing Mrs. Dean to Jerome, and had signed the latter's name to one telegram arranging the departure, because that was the name signed to the telegram about the ticket, and I didn't want to make any more con fusion"
 When Mrs. Dean arrived ill Je- rome, she was escorted to supper and to picture shows by the defendant, but it was not until week after she had arrived that they committed the act charged to them. Knowlton was merely passing her room and went in, and the fall occurred. Later that. night, however, he went to his room, donned his pajamas and encased himself in his street clothes. Then he went to Mrs. Deans room and took off all but the pajamas and pro-I ceeded to play casino with the lady. It was while playing cards with her that the officers of the law entered, and Knowlton stepped behind d closet door,"
 The pajamas were introduced inI evidence.

J. 5. INSURANCE HAS SICKNESS
 PROVISION
CFrom Thursdays Daily.)

EX-service men who are interested in the new government life insur- ance policies should note especially the very liberal disability clause which is contained in every govern ment policy issued to ex-service men. For conversion of the war risk in- surance to the government policy, the holder is provided not only against death but also against dis ability.
 Do not mix up accident and disa- bility insurance. Only one out of twenty cases of disability is due to accident The greater number of disability cases occur through dis ease. When for any reason you be- come totally and permanently dis abled, you not only do not have to pay any more premiums but the government pays you the full monthly sum called for by your pol icy every month, no matter how long you live.
 There are absolutely no restric- tions as to age. With most insurance policies when you reach 60 or 6 your rights to disability benefits cease, but with this government in surance, no, matter how old you are when the disability occurs, you are entitled to disability benefits. In most cases disability does not occur until the age of 60 or after, so you can see the advantage of the gov ernment's provision, which protects you, regardless of whether the disa bility is due to accident or disease. In old age, one out of two persons becomes disabled.
 If 1t were not for this disability clause you would run big risk of losing your insurance because prob ably you could not keep up your premium payments if disabled. Dis ability is given the following broad meaning: Any impairment of mind or body which makes it impossible for the disabled person to follow any substantially gainful occupation.
 For information regarding conver- sion of policies see the secretary lat the war Camp Community Service office.

ANTI-CHINESE 80 PER
 CENT LAW PROTESTED (n.... nr;An,,ir nn;l,rN
(From Friday's Daily)

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 28.-The Chinese of Sonora, against whom the recently enacted "SO per cent law" requiring the employment of so per cent Mexican labor or clerical help in all enterprises or businesse, was said to be directed particularly, have appealed through the French consul at Hermosillo, Sonora, to the Chinese legation in Mexico City for assistance.
 T. K. Fong, ill charge of the af- fairs of China in Mexico, in a state ment made in the Mexican capital said he had been advised of the activities of President Arana of Mag dalena, Sonora, who has been touring Sonora speaking against the Chinese and recently caused the arrest of a number of Chinese merchants in Magdalena under the 80 per cent law.
 Mir. Fong said that if the law had required employment of 30 or even 40 per cent Mexicans, more could have compiled, but of the Chinese business men of the west coast, he said, only three or four had establish ments of sufficient size to allow em- ployment of the number of clerks the law dictated He had been in formed, he said, that the states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Nayait had be- gun violent agitation against the Chinese in an effort to restrict immi- grafton and for that reason his lega- ton had advised that no more Chi nese be allowed to penetrate those territories, that they go instead to central and southern Mexico, where no such feeling or agitation existed.
 MT. Fong added that he had been assured by the foreign department that 1t would investigate conditions
