Tn an effort to- arouse indignation pressure might be brought to bear up- on Colonel Edgar P. Grinstead to re- tract his statement that thousands of our men were running away from the firing line," and that those who were under the command of Lieutenant F. H. Smith were for the most part war time deserters, small group of for mer soldiers met last evening at a downtown office
 The purpose of the meeting as an nounced during the afternoon was to draw up a resolution to be handed to 'el Grinstedad be either forced to re retract his statement or be removed from his position as sanitary inspec- tor. =
 The heads of the American legion and those generally recognized as were entirely unaware of the session. Celora M Stoddard, commander of the local post, stated last night he had no notice that the meeting was to be held and emphatically denied that the local post had anything to do with it.,
 -,''The American legion does not want to engage in any controversy as to the merits of either Lieutenant Smith or Colonel Grinstead, said one Of the prominent members of the Frank Luke, Jr., post last evening. If there was a meeting held, it was only a handful of hot heads, who are not will ling to await adjustment of matters and who do not understand the situ- ation.
 The meeting held last night was of short duration and was in the nature of a star chamber session. Only those who had been previously invited were admitted, but number whose attendance had been solicited remain ed away, when it was ascertained the session was not sanctioned by the American legion.

 The purchasers were represented in the transaction by J. c. Denton, gen. eral manager of the Grand Pacific Cop per company, and the local interests by Hugh Daggs and P. H. Hays, presi- dent and secretary of the holdings company The purchasing syndicate is made up of about 40 big New York and Pennsylvania capitalists, headed by c. Steinbrenner as president. MT Steinbrenner is vice president of the Galena Signal Oil company, a 30 mil lion dollar company and the Grand Pacific company is capitalized at $2,- 000,O0O.
 Highly Valuable Property.
 Before the purchase was completed the property was inspected by Dr. w. H Weed, the geologist and engineer for the syndicate and had previously been reported as a highly valuable property by some of the best engineers and geologists in the profession.
 The four original claims, which were acquired by the Daggs interests by purchase were long worked as silver mines, without regard to the copper possibilities. At one time the Monte Carlos and the Touchnot claims were extensively worked for silver, which was hauled to Tempe, the town of Superior not being in existence.
 Surface workings have indicated as high as 1z per cent copper, SAP per ton gold, and B ounces of silver in the Monte Carlo Claim, and some very

SEEKS LOWERING OF
 COPPER co. VALUATION

Phoenix, August 7th.-In deter mined effort to secure a reduction in the valuation of the holdings of the Shannon Copper Cem:'any, Irecently sold to the Arizona Cop ,sr company Judge Ernest w. Lewis is appearing before the tax commission today.
 On the grounds that the property in question could not be valued at its former figure, the county authorities, are said to have allowed reduction of 25 per cent.

high percentage in other claims. Sev- eral times in the past few years the property has been about to be sold a large number of times to big in- terests, but various interests connect ed with the war prevented the On summation of the deals. A deal was practically completed with the Lewis ohns interests when the war broke out.
 The Calumet and Arizona had an option it was about to take up when the war broke out in Europe. It ask ed for an extension, according to, MT. Daggs' statement, but it was refused. Has Tragic History
 The purchasing syndicate is to put in electric equipment throughout and has already ordered the machinery to install a central generating plant to work both the property they already hold and the new purchase. The con tract calls for not less than $3,OO0 per | month to be expended in develop ment to begin in not less than 90 days.
 The property just sold has an inter- esting and, in places, tragic history. Workded in parts as a silver property for years sold and resold; titles con- tested in court and murders on account of the value of the claims all enter in- to its history.
 On January 1, 1908, A. J. Daggs and George Dittore were ambushed and shot on the Delaware claim. Every thing living that left the Daggs camp that morning, including the two meAj horse and two dogs, were killed. The murderers were convicted and after wards pardoned by Governor Hunt

Editor William Monroe Trottcr
spoke here last Wednesday night to
Il large audience ut tho City Audi
forum. Wo regret to learn that
there was any action on the part Of
certain white and colorcd citizens,
that he would start something" to
tho extent of causing any unpleasant
feeling on the part OF anybody or to
induce the colorcd people to assume
any attitude than that Of loyal, law
abiding citizens.
Mr.. Trotter's recital was both en-
pertaining and interesting and in no
part OF it was any language used
that would tend to stir up strife
among the races. We arc gratifiod
to know that he came to Richmond
and was vouchsafed an opportunity
to speak in the best meeting place
in the city without mishap to himself
or to anybody else.
Much of tho trouble from which
we suffer is OF our own making.
Colored people, or rather some OF
them, arc alleged to have warned the
authorities against Mr.. Trotter. BE
that as it may, he spoke hero and q
few white folks and many colored
ones heard him. The Chief OF Police
Major G. A. Sherry in his attractive
uniform saw that order was pre-
served. The colored folks were glad
to see them present, as they became
witnesses to the fact that the meeting
held in this city.

IN the assembly OF the League of Ma

ment will be put through. You may

These specify that the United States
reserves the unconditional right to
withdraw from the league upon no
tice; that the United States declines
to assume,r under the provisions OF
Article Y, or any other article. any
obligation to preserve the territorial
integrity or political independence
OF any other country, or to inter-
fcrc in controversies between. other
countries; that tho United States re-
serves the right to decide all ques-
tons within it's damestiv .jurIsdic-
ton, and that tho, United States do
clincs TO submit for arbitration or
inquiry by the League of Nations
any questions touching the Monroe
Doctrine
'"fhcse four reservations have, now
a clear majority OF the Senate back
of Them" said Senator Reed. with
out them the treaty of peace and the
league covenant cannot be ratified.
They are sufficiently drastic to pro-
tcct the most important interests OF
this country, and we will not ADAM
don them. The supporters of I'M
qualified ratification can tako them
or. leave them, If they accept them,
then the treaty and league go
through. If they leave them, they
will lose everything, and the coun-
try will be so much the gamer, for,
to tell the truth. I believe that the
real sentiment Of great majority
of the people is against entering Ills
to this arrangement on any terms"
Senator Reed said that nobody
was more anxious than he to get
the whole discussion cut of tho way
so that Congress could go to work
upon domestic problems of tho most
pressing nature, but he added that
the treaty question was too big to
compromise about.
He will return to Washington this
morning, after speaking at Paterson.

PECULIAR CONDITIONS.

The ratification Of the Peace Treaty
and the approval of the covenant III
the organization of the League OF
Nations are now engaging the attcn-
ton OF the United States Senate. 1t
has been definitely decided, if we are
to accept the statements of Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, who is the Off
cial spokesman of that body Of Sen
the two documents will be approved
without approving them, that they
will be ratified without ratifying them.
The idea is to ratify the treaty and
the League Of Nations Covenant and
to include in the said ratification such
reservations as will nullify certain
provisions of the original document
The effect will bo that both instru
ments will be ratified only so far as
the sections in the diplomatic doc
ument are not affected by the
aforesaid reservations.
This will place the American di-
plomats in most embarrassing posi-
ton for tho United States of America
will not consider itself bound by
certain requirements in the Peace
Treaty and the covenant of the
League Of Nations as originally
submitted. 1t was against this action
that President Woodrow Wilson has
protested and on account of which he
made the extensive and protracted
tour that has resulted in the break
down of his nervous system.
1t is difficult to foresce what will
be the ultimate outcome OF all OF
this. The fact is that the civilized
nations have departed and wandered
far away from fundamental princi-
pies. Weak nations and peoples arc
being held in the grasp of strong
ones and great right principles arc
being ignored and forgotten. 1t is
not difficult to forecast the result OF
this action.
