Mountain Elevator

The great lift" to carry aspiring
tourists who would eschew the com
blned joys and labors of the mountain

Trial Not Necessary
After the Election

President Roosevelt never turned II
deaf ear TO his Spanish war rough
riders when they appealed to him for
help. On one occasion n rough rider
was indicted for killing n man In a
western state and he wrote to the
President, asking for loan Of 500
to hire lawyer TO defend him The
crime had taken place In some sort OF
ranch brawl. In keeping with his Gus
tom, the President sent the requested
$500, never expecting to see II again.
James Amos, former family servant
Of the Roosevelts, relates In an article
In Golfers Weekly. However, u short
time later, much to his surprise, he
got another letter from the same man,
returning the 5000 The letter said In
substance:
Dear Teddy: I'm sending back the
money | borrowed to help at my trial
We didn't need TO have no trial, as we
elected our district attorney"

Black Phosphorus

Black phosphorus, hitherto supposed
to be pure phosphorus turned black as
result Of sudden cooling, Is produced
by the contact of phosphorus with
mercury on which It Gun react at the
moment when It passes from the liquid
to the solid state. Molten phosphorus
dlssolves mercury, giving colorless
solution. When cooled the saturated
solution remains cOlOrless In all low
temperatures, but II the phosphorus
solidlfes the solldlhcation Is very
weak and the mercury leaves the So
lidlhed phosphorus and colors II black.
II black phosphorus IL melted, the
mercury Is easily redlssolved In the
surrounding phosphorus and the whole
body becomes cOlorless. This Is the
correct explanation Of the phenom-
enOn.

WOMAN FOUND
UNCONSCIOUS S

Douglas police headquarters were
informed about 1880 Saturday night
by Deputy Sheriff Charles Locklin
at Bisbee that a woman had been
found lying unconscious on the run
ming board of a Studebaker Duplex
car with California license about
one mile outside that city on the
Douglas-B -Bisbee highway between .
and 10 o'clock last night.
The woman was in a highly nerv-
Gus condition, her clothes being bad
ly torn. She was unable to give
the officers any information but it
is believed that foul play was at
tempted.
An address was found on some
papers in the ear giving the name
of Ansell r. Borgess. of Long Beach
Calf. From the papers it appeared
as if the regular occupants of the
car were engaged in oil business.
Police here were asked to be on
the lookout for any one who might
have been connected with the af

The car was reported to have pass

pronounced by himself and an "ex,

drink that came within the bounds
Of the law" Hardly, however, had
the foam subsidized before La Guardia
was warned by Wayne 3. Wheeler Of
the Anti-Salooa league tnac such
use of the malt tonic is "as illegal
as it is to tax any other Kind Of
LIQUOR and make it into boutIeg
substitute"
Officials at the treasury were in
clined to take the incident lightly
insisting that the high percentage of
solid content in the malt extract
made it impracticable for beverage
purposes. James NJ. Doran, head of
the chemical division of the prohibf-
tion unit said the La Guardia expert
ment had been tried in other cities
and found to be more novel than
practicable" La Guardia in So

member, had failed.
Chairman Hudson of the committee
and Representatives Fitzgerald Of
Ohio, and Browne of Wisconsin,, re-

All of these declined to accompany
La Guardia to his office, although
Representative Green, Florida, 4
democrat on the committee appeared
but declined to sample the beverage.
La Guardia filled an ordinary
table glass two-thirds full of the

happened, then he stirred it with a

dark foam rose to the brim and

LONDON, June J9.--Women Of Eng
land bent on the abolition Of war, after
a patient and toilsome pilgrimage from
the ends of the country, assembled to-
day in Hyde park, LoDdon's great rem
devious for reformist demonstrations,
and there adopted resolution calling
for arbitration, security and disarma-
ment.
The weather favored the elimination
Of the women's endeayors with glor-
ious hot summer day, considering the
many rival Saturday attractions in the
shape of outdoor sports of all kinds
and counter attractions even in the
park itself, the women of London mus
tered in force to lend their presence
and sympathy and to give added
strength to the demand that the ma
tion's rulers do everything in their
power to make certain that never shall
nation resort to war until every
method by arbitration and other
means has been exhausted, in settling
international disputes peacefully.
Women's societies, some 40 in num-

feminine activity, Joined in the DEM

gave their personal assistance. Sybil
Thorndike, the actress, headed one pro-
cession into the park, and another
prominent actress, Nancy Price, with
her pupils, was the moving spirit Of
the peace pageant staged at the Marble

Perhaps one of the most striking
features of the scene was the great

women who gathered in Hyde park
had marched for miles, their travels

various groups had held meetings in

passed. The marchers wore blue arm

FARM BILL YET
FAR FROM VOTE.
BY THE SENATE
(By Dispatch A r. wire)

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The Nc
Nary farm bill was caught today in
the whirl of pre-adjournment legis-
lation with a date for final senate
vote more indefinite than ever.
Defeated time and again in his
effort to fix day for roll call,
Senator McNary, republican, Oregon,
manager of the bill made another
attempt today but failed again when
Senator Willis republican, Ohio, OBJ
jected This brought Senator Swan
son, democrat, Virginia to his feet.
Pointing a finger at the Ohio sem
ator he accused hin: of attempting
to kill off the rivers and habors Dill
by conducting filibuster against
the farm measure with the aid OF
small group of senator's.
THAT question is not new before
the senate" replied Senator Willis,
who said he had not had an oppor-
tunity to discuss the farm bill and
objected to limiting debate to ten
minutes for each senator as sug-
gested by Senator McNary.
Aroused over the opposition that
has developed to the bill in the SEN
ate, William Hirth Of Missouri, chair
man Of the corn belt committee, is
sued q defiant warning to senator's
from agricultural states they had
better not go back home without
passing legislation Incorporating the
principles of the McNary proposal.
Senators Cummins, republican, Iowa,
and Bruce, democrat Maryland, car
ried on most of the debate today, the
former championing the McNary bill
as a wise and constitutional meas
ure and the latter again denouncing
it as faIlacious and idotic. Although
the senate was proceeding under re-
stricted debate, the bars were rails
ed for the veteran Iowa senator ana
he was given unlimited time. He
warned the republicans that if 1t
was sound republican doctrine to
force farmers to sell their products
in this country at world prices, the
tariff protected manufacturers soon
would find themselves selling their
goods at world prices.
"If you defeat this bill on the
ground that the farmer must sell
his products as cheapIy at home as
abroad" he added, "the whole policy
Of protection is doomed to extinction.
