"HARDBOILED" SMITH TO
 LIVE IN SOUTHWEST

The following appeared in the Cam paign Democrat, printed in Urbana, Ohio, under date of Friday, October 1, copy of which has just been receiv- ed in Douglas:
 with the report that former Lieut.. F. H. (Hardboiled) Smith had been released from imprisonment at Fort Jay, N. J., it became known that Smith, who was former resident of Urbana, had visited his home town two weeks ago quietly. Smith is the son of the late Joseph Smith, private secretary to President Mckinley, and lived for many years in the old Hutches property on College Way, now known as Browne Hall, Urbana university.
 Smith came to Urbana quietly to consult attorneys relative to the set clement of the Hutches estate and registered at Douglas Inn, simply, Frank H. Smith, Naco, Arizona He was in Urbana two days.
 Many of his former friends did not recognize him and he made no at- tempt to look them up. It is said that he did not visit his relatives here. To those of his friends who met him, he explained simply that he had been paroled after General Pershing had personally investigated his case and found that he was to a certain ex- tent exonerated from the blame for prison camp atrocities.
 "He stated that he intended mak- ing his home in the southwest and is also quoted as having said that he in- tended going to Mexico to join the staff of General Obregon.
 America is not the place for me any longer and I am going into Mex ico for excitement he is said to have asserted
 When it was reported through As sociated Press dispatches recently that "Hardboiled" Smith had been releas- ed, it was reported that Smith was or had been in Naco.

HOW THE REPORTER. WORKED
 AT JEROME 50 YEARS AGO

(From Jerome News 50 Years Ago.
 Hardscrabble Perkins was in town this morning accompanied by the yell low dog he traded his wife for last spring.
 Certain representative of the rougher element have been circulat- ing malicious and wholly unfound- mendacity to the effect fhat the Rev erend Theobald Jasper, pastor of the Jerome Reform church, is a prohibi- tionist. Some low .despicable char acters would go to almost any length to discredit man of the Gospel. We wouldn't blame the, reverend a bit if he went and bent a A over their heads.
 Word from the Gila river is that the mesquite bean crop is total fail ure and the Papago Indians fear that they will be reduced to the dire ex- tremity of eating the rations issued at the agency.
 Comanche Jack was in from Mount Mingus yesterday for his first pair of shoes. For fifty years Comanche has regarded footwear as merely an as fectation of decadent civilization, but last week he absent-mindedly went out in rainstorm and the pro- tective accumulation of a half cen tury on his soles melted away, with the result that his feet got tender. Hard luck, Jack. You have the sym pathy of the entire community in your bereavement.

BIG FIGHT BEING MADE
 ON DIVISION BILL

A vigorous campaign against the Van Dyke county division measure has been launched here with the for nation of the Gila county branch of the State Anti County Division asso- citation. The association, which al ready has large membership, will be strictly non-partisan. Its sole pur- pose will be to help defeat the Van Dyke measure, which would take away from every county as whole the right to vote on the question of division and give the privilege of the ballot solely-to voters within any par ticular section seeking county divi- sion.
 P. P. Greer, pioneer resident of Globe. has been chosen chairman of the local branch of the association.
 "Our sole aim is to get together and fight this measure said Greer, in outlining the plans of the organ ization. Membership in the associa- tion is oper to every man and woman in Arizona. We believe that the county division measure is the most selfish and vicious piece of legisla- ton ever attempted in Arizona. It was designed solely for the purpose of altering the constitution of Ari- zona to make it easy for the wealthy Miami district to withdraw from Gila county, regardless of how the propos- ed law might affect Gila county as whole or other counties in the state.
 "Such an action by Miami, or any other rich secticp of any other cCu,:- ty, could only bring exhorbitant tax es to the remaining taxpayers in the county from which it was withdrawn. We believe that if any county is to be divided every voter in that county has a right to vote on the question. If the Van Dyke measure were to be passed it would give any rich section of $20,00O,000 or more valuation, no matter how small in area, the power

200 MORE TEACHERS
 IN ARIZONA THIS YEAR

There are 200 more teachers in the public schools of Arizona this year than last, according to an estimate made by Frank Dykes, assistant sup erintendent of public instruction. He said he was compiling exact figures for the annual teachers directory and that the directory would be completed next week. Last year, 1859 teachers were employed in the grade schools, 335 in high school, and approximate ly 300 in the university and its exten- sion course and in the two state nor nal schools. During 1919, A build- ings were erected in the state.

NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE

to set itself up as a new county at any time.
 "The present county division laws provided for in our constitution give every qualified elector of every coun- ty the right to cast vote on wheth- CT or not his or her county shall be divided. The Van Dyke measure would take away this right. That is why we are opposing the Van Dyke measure"
 "Vote No on Line 3O9" is the slogan that has been adopted by the association. Fighting the Van Dyke measure will be the only part the organization will take in politics, and this fight will be conducted along purely non-partisan lines.

MOVIE HERO IN DISGUISE

ManitowOc has a policeman who dis
plays a rapidity of thought, a CELEBRITY
of decision and a physical agility that
ought to earn him more than the mod
est sum the city allows its guardians.
Officer Hardtke was on crossing duty
one night last week. He had left his
post to gently admonsh motor driv-
err who didn't know, or at least didn't
obey, the rules. Returning to his post
in the center of the intersection he
turned and saw car driven by Eu-
gene Buka bearing down upon him
and real close. Did he try to dodge
or rum: He did not. He had no time
for it. He vaulted lightly into the air
and astride the hood of the car was
borne away with a seat as secure as
one of the broncho busters that clut-
tered up the landscape at Grant park
Chicago, last week Mary Pickford's
renowned husband, if Mary isn't still
married to the other fellow, couldn't
have turned the stunt with more grace
or nonchalance. And some people think
policemen are shambling fiat foots.

BOARD OF REVIEW

The Cereal Products company intro
duced lot of testimony to show that
the big mailing and brewery plant as
sessed at about Sl,250,00 is not worth
anywhere near that amount. There is
no novelty or new situation or "test
case" business about it. 1t is merely
an old, every year, question of proving
by testimony what the property ''would
ordinarily bring at private sale"
As in former years the Manitowoc
Mailing company appeared and said
that any reasons for a reduction in the
cereal company's plant applies with
equal force to theirs.
The city attorney took exception to
a published report which assumed that
the board had preiudged the case and
that the company had no chance for a
reduction
Assessor Goetzler called as witness
testified that the assessment on the
cereal plant is not too high. Before
adiourning the board went on record
as refusing to lower the assessment on
either mailing property.
Whether the matter will he taken to
the courts or not has not been an
nounced to date
The procedure in such cases is by
what the lawyers call "certorari' in
which the court goes over the boards
record without taking any testimony
to see if it acted within its jurisdiction.
There is no "new trial"

The industrial commission heard
cases under the workmen's compensa-

Commissioner Thomas Konop was here
himself, coming from Green Bay where
he had several hearings. An examiner
of the commission usually comes TO
conduct these hearings.
Leo Braasch, who was injured by
tripping while carrying a bag of malt
at the Mantowoc Mating company
three years ago and who was awarded
full compensation for his loss of time,
asserts that it subsequently developed
that he had also sustained an injury to
his back, resulting in permanent par
tial incapacity for labor.
The August Dusold matter was also
up. Mr.. DusOld had a leg amputated
because, he claimed, of an injury re
ceived at the Smalley Manufacturing
company plant. The insurance com
pany claimed that his injury had no
connection with the amputation. Since
the last hearing the claimant died and
his heirs now have in addition a death
claim asserting that the injury caused
his death.

exception of the ninth inning, when a
rally seemed inevitable.
Only five hits were scored off of
Braun, while he retired seven batters
by the strikeout route. Stack on the
