Clifton Charges q Governor Played
 Politics In Veto

State Senator Harold A. Elliott or Clifton, Greenlee county, has been re- tained by the Clifton Commercial Cup to test the validity of Governor Camp bells veto of parts of the omnibus bill According to announcement from Clifton, Senator Elliott will immediate ly institute mandamus proceeding in the supreme court of the state to au- thorize the state tax commission to levy the necessary tax to carry out the provisions of the act, as finally passed by the state legislature. and before being cut by the governor.
 At meeting of the Clifton Commer1 cial Club. the action of the governor, in vetoing the measure and cutting out an appropriation which was made for a road from Clifton to the New Mexico state line, was considered. Senator Elliott was called into the conference As result of the meeting Elliott was retained to fight the case.
 According to the Clifton Copper Era, the feeling prevails in that county that the governor, at the last minute, attempted to pacify the feelings of the large tax interests of the state by striking from the bill those projects

After Investigating the killing of his brother, Edward Davis. who was found murdered in the Ures district. about 200 miles south of Cananea, J. H. -Dav- is, superintendent of the Bunker Hill mines at Tombstone, has returr{ed to that city and declares that it is unsafe for Americans to travel in some parts of Mexico.
 Davis found that his brother had been murdered while he was encamp- ed on the Yaqui river. He was shot in the back, the motive being robbery. Davis said that the man who commit ted the crime is known to the authori- ties, who are making an effort to cap- ture him, following complaints made by American Consul Dyer, at Nogales.
 Davis said that his brother had not displayed large sum of money. as was reported, and when killed had less than $60 on his person. His saddle. pack outfit and provisions were stolen by the bandit, who was last seen about 60 miles south of where the killing oc- cured.

During this hard experience occurred
the assassination of president Lincoln
A vast, excited crowd hemmed in the
entrances to the newspaper office and
the lad was obliged TO force his way
into the mail room by kind of under
ground passage. Even that was
crowded with vociferous and grief
stricken people. While he was push-
ing his way through them young
Stone heard a pistol shot and saw a
man fall dead The assassin exclaimed:
He said Lincoln deserved it,"
Then he walked away, and nobody
put out a hand to stop him, ard, as
the author affirms, he was never tried
for the shooting.
Mr.. Stones busy journalistic life, not
counting two or three boyish attempts,
really lies between the dates 1871,
when occurred the Chicago fire, and
1919, when the League of Nations was
formed at Versailles. He was In the
hardware business and wiped out of il
by the great conflagration, and while
waiting round for things to start up
he served efficiently on a committee Of
relief. This led to acquaintance with
the owner of the Republican and a
managerial job thereon in connection
with Col. Forrest who wrote the edi-
torials for the sheet.
In one of these Forrest offended a
low grade politician as we'll as his
chief, and he wrote a backing down
editorial which the Tribune declared
could only he due to beer" 1t wound
up Forests connection with the paper
and probably Stones, although he does
not say so, but we find him shortly
afterward in Washington on the staff
of THE NEW YORK HERALD.
This was in 1874. A year later he is
back in Chicago founding the Daily
Net1s (evening) on a capital Of $4,000
furnished by Remittance" man rom
England, one Percy Meggy. The first
number of the celebrated paper was
issued experimenally on Christmas
Day, 1875. The first issue Of the
morning edition OF the Chicago DAILY
Neacs, two cent paper, followed
in 1881.
Between these dates the author tells
at length some of his early detective
and his growing acquaintance with in
teresting crooks-Ross Raymond. the
confidence man, and Dick Lane. bur-
glar, among others. He also passes in
review notable political events in
which he journalistically figured.
Sandwiched in also is trip to Eu-
rope, where he made the acquaintance
of Parnell. Dillon. Capt. Boycott.
Gambetta, Clemenceau. Since what
he found in these men at that time
has been clarified by their subsequent
actions, then this author possesses,
among other valuable newspaper quail
tiles. the best of them all, true
judgment of men.

says 1t is-the story of a man and a

performance, with a somewhat inclu-

history and biography Not only is it
the life story of one of our great cap
tains of industry but it is the romance
of the development of a great in

its chapters do not blindly celebrate"
their subject nor present him in a false
light with a foolish halo around his
head. On the contrary. they provide a
human account of a man of unusual
mental endowment and enormous ex-
ecutive ability. who knew how to carry

undertakings in the face of adverse
circumstances. They tell the story of

MEMOIRS AND BIOGRAPHY

charming reading as of newspaper
written. edited and published in the
Better Land. The reminiscence reads
veracious, but it would be hard TO
duplicate such a story in any other
newspaper office.
In this connection Mr.. Stone relates
how his paper refused to buy the
Public Be Damned" story offered
them by "a pushing and impertinent
free lance. In his offer the man had
made the mistake of telling the Ne,cs
people the exact way ne interrupted
Vanderbilt's dinner, and by his per-
sistence forced this expression of an
noyance. Suppressing the details the
free lance afterward sold the story to
the Tribune.
Mr. Stone still chuckles over the
hoax of a Matthew Arnold interview
which the Tribune swallowed and pub
lished The great critic was said to
have described Chicago people as i'll
bred and illiterate in an interview he
was reported to have given to a peri
odical that did not exist. This per-
mits Mr.. Stone to picture his own i'm
preston of the Sweetness and Light"
lecturer, which he winds up by re-
peating the mot of r. L. S. when told
of Arnold's death. TOO bad" said

He gives in detail the early struggles
of the "A. P.' and it's battles with it's
rival news gatherer, as well as full
accounts of his various visits to roy
atty, the Kaiser, the Gar, when on
tour for his association.
What troubles England" said Will

letters filled out spell made in Ger
many" Mr.. Stone seems to have
preserved pretty high opinion of the
German Emperor, as he had a great
sympathy for the unfortunate Gar.
One of the most amusing passages
in the book relates a meeting with
William jennings Bryan on the
borders of Mexico in 1896. Thither
the great commoner had gone to study
the silver question in it's home. He
lowered near the border talking to
Mr.. Stone for five hours, and, says
the latter, in that short time Bryan
solved the silver problem.

Notes of a NeWsgatherer

FIFTY. YEARS A JOURNALIST. BY
Melville E. Stone. Doubleday. Page
X Co.
HIS big book. composed by a
former general manager of the
Associated Press, is easy to
read in spite of its bulk and in spite
also Of its Introduction of matter ex-
traneous to the title. The ease is partly
due to its authors long training. It is
compiled like a page from the daily
news with cross heads, headlines and
dates. Everybody who opens 1t will
read the book precisely as though it
were telling story in the newspaper.
And that, however literary persons
may regard the autobiography, is
praise.
Mr. Stone has made a number of
enemies in his long and useful career,
and the reader who never made his
personal acquaintance will know why
from the book. The reason is his
blunt expression of opinion. When he
thinks a man is blackguard he has
ono hesitancy in calling him just that,
and in one place he courts notoriety
by the bold ways, typographical and
otherwise. in which he writes down
his contemporaries in the journalistic
fields. Several of these deceased per-
lAIe to
and an odor of sanctity, at least of
reverence, hangs about them in their
tombs.
But this writer calls one of them
"shifty and wholly untruthful," an
other, "a malignant who frequently
misused his power" two of them
"revelled in indecency," while another
was little better than a blackguard."
The men to whom he applies these
epithets were, it must be remembered,
among the makers of our modern
newspaper.
Born in the revolutionary" 1S4S,
when Abraham Lincoln was serving
his first term in the Federal Congress,
Mr.. Stone is proud to claim as his
natal State that of the Great Emanci-
pator. to whose broadcast fame he
adds his mite. 1t is his belief that no
one born out of Illinois can thoroughly
understand or quite appreciate Lin
coin. and he appends insufficient
reasons for this conviction. AS his
father was preacher the family often
moved from one small place TO an
other small place, with occasional So
journs in Chicago. The boys educa-
ton was, in consequence. fitfully car
ried on. but 1t would appear that he
had always an ambition to acquire
learning. What he got was painfully
obtained.
For instance. while he was still only
a growing lad, but obliged to help In
the family finances. he used to get UP
at in the morning, hurry to the mail
room of the Chicago Tribune. take a
bundle of papers for distribution walk
four or five miles delivering them,
