Frank L. Smiths chances Of getting

There was enough evidence al

There are many arguments against

of the Douglas Kiwanis club Thursday
noon at a luncneon of the club in the
Gadsden hotel, a. w-.cn he spoke on

In his address, which was brief but

woulds be a detriment to the. industry
He further argued that the. copper In
Gustry was managed by experienced
business men, who are better aDl~
than any meddling politicians" to
know the needs of that industry and
shat consequently any demand for a
tariff on copper should come from the
leaders of the industry and not from
politicians
According to the speaker. there has
been a slump in the copper industry,
which leaders of that industry know
well how to handle in a businesslike
manner The proper remedy for the
slump, he vouchedi is not Il tariff, but
the creation of a new market for cop
per products and new uses for ths
metal itself. He expressed the opinion
that the enactment of a six per cent
tariff as proposed for snis country,
would invoke foreign nations to re-
Idaliate with a like measure, which
would be harmful to American indus
try.
He cited the tariff which was placed
on imported wheat and stated that IN
his opinion It had been harmful to
the very industry which it pretended
to protect and that the copper tariff
would have the same effect on the
copper industry, which it would be
supposed to aid.
In conclusion, Douglas remarked

year-old school girl, near Perrenville,

doors of the place were open and
two clocks were still running.
The girl, in Mckinley hospital,

showed her to be suffering from con-
cussion of the brain and not skull

condition was serious but not critical

with killing James A. Goodenstein, q
miner in her home just outside the

Of counsel for the defense, Attorneys
j. weldon Bailey and Spencer E. Bugh,
both of Phoenix, who asked for the

with witnesses for the woman.
Notwithstanding Mrs. Edmunds is
alleged to have confessed to killing
Goodenstein to Sheriff J. ALI Edwards

er persons predicate was laid this
afternoon which indicated the possi-
'hilty of setting UP by the defense that
the bullet that killed Goodenstein
might have been fired from the second
qtory of a house not far from the
Edmunds womans home, with a win
dow opening on the side through which
a, bullet could have been dispatched in
such manner as to inflict practically
an identical wound such as was found

was contended.
In the alleged confession, Mrs. Ed
