CIRCUS UNABLE
TO REACH CITY
Due TO STORM

AS result of the railroad tieup,
caused by the storm, the Miller
Brothers 1O1 Ranch wild west circus
will not show in Douglas today, as
advertised, according to advices re
ceived early this morning.
When no information could be re-
ceived locally as to the whereabouts
of the circus, the Dispatch instituted
general inquiry, and it was learned
that the circus showed in Tucson
Tuesday and left Tuesday night for
New Mexico and Texas, via Phoe-
nix
From Eel Paso, word was received
Wednesday night that the circus had
not yet arrived there, and it is not
considered possible that the three sec
tions of the special train could pos
sibly reach Douglas in time for the
scheduled performance today.
The circus is scheduled to show in
Ell Paso Saturday, October 2, and it
is not considered likely that it will
be brought to Douglas until after
finishing the Texas and New Mexico
billings.
Because of the railroad tieup, rep
resentatives of the circus are strand
ed in various sections of the state
and have been unable to get into
communication with each other. Ac-
cordingly, one representative, who
has been stranded in Douglas for
three days, was unable to supply any
definite information as to the proba-
BILE date of showing in Douglas.

which were out for the first time since
/ he took charge of them. The coroners
jury rendered its verdict at $3.50 o'clock
Wednesday morning.

CAMERON SEES
RUIN WITH0U I
COPPER TARIFF

SELIGMAN, Sept. 29.-"Unless a pro
jtective tariff is placed on foreign cop
per, the bats will be flying through the
buildings of Globe Miami Jerome,
Douglas, Bisbee and the remainder of
the large mining towns of Arizona
within six years." Senator Ralph Fl,
Cameron told an audience which as
sembIed in Seligman tonight to hear
him present his platform for reelection
lin November.
"a tariff must be placed on foreign
copper to protect the Arizona miner
and mucker and every other worker OF
the copper Industry in this state from
the cheap laborer of South Africa" ;"
tSenator Cameron said in speech that
was punctuated with applause.
The senator was accompanied to the
platform tonight by Jimmy Pitts,
prominent Seligman livestock man and
merchant, and Roy E. Smith, promi-
Incnt cattle man of Douglas The sena-
tor visited the Grand canyon during the
Iday. For the first time in many years
he again stood at the head of the
Bright Angel trail into the Grand can
Eyon. He made his first trip to the
Grand canyon in 1883, travelling on the
back of a burro.
Cameron said he would also secure a
tariff on hides to protect the Arizona
livestock man from the cheap South
American labor produced products. He
severely scored the champions of free
trade copper and hides and said: THE
champions of free trade copper do not
dwell overly much on the wages lost
4l,o Ari1opo coppar 111i0arS durinsr
the past five years"
"The wages of the Arizona copper
miner and mucker are regulated by
the price of copper: when low their
wages are low, and any marked in
crease in the price of copper is fmme-
diately reflected through an increase
of wages" Senator Cameron explained.
"It would be very interesting to have
these champions of free trade copper
explain why the wage earning, right
fully belonging to Arizona labor, ag-
gregating hundreds of thousands of
dollars per month, should be allowed
to be diverted into the already over
flown purse of the dual controllers"
Senator Cameron said
Senator Cameron gave his views on
the Colorado river and also advocated
a tariff on cotton. He gave brief ac-
count of his many achievements during
the last six years as United States SEN
ator from Arizona, and told of his sue
cess in securing the passage of the
San Carlos bill which is now building
the $5,5OO,OO0 Coolidge dam on the Gila
river, and of many of his other signifi-
cant achievements.
Cameron promised continuation of
his efforts and beneficial results for
Arizona when he is reelected in No
vember. The senator declared himself
in favor of transferring all public
lands from the custody of the federal
interior department to the several
states in which they lie.

BALLOT
In VOTING
QUEEN PRINTED

The first ballot for voting for cam
didates for queen for the Cochise
county fair appears in this issue.
Clip out the ballot, write in the
name and address of the lady whom
you want elected to the highest Of
flee in the power of the annual CO.
chise county fair to give, and drop
the ballot in the box at the cham
Der of commerce office.
Douglas is getting late start in
the voting, but the interest in the
contest is great, and it is expected
that every paper will be clipped for
one candidate or another 1t is the
policy of the Dispatch and of the
fair association that no extra papers
shall be printed to provide extra bal
lots, as such extras could be bought
with money, and with the regular
number of papers printed the sup
porters of the various candidates may
secure large numbers of votes by
canvassing the different business
houses and the residence section for
the regularly delivered papers and
clipping those. This arrangement
eliminates the possibility of some
money interest elecaing a queen who
might not be the real favorite of
majority of the voters.
The coronation robes for the Queen
will be specially made for the occa-
sion, but it is felt by those in charge
that each of the maids of honor
could do more justice to the spec
tacle if they were permitted to choose
their own gowns.

Mcpherson gave before the grand jury
that Investigated her reported kid
naping. The testimony followed close
ly the story Mrs. Mcpherson told
when she re-appeared in Arizona

DAYS. In the meantime, the state
contends, Mrs. McFnersnon occupied
a cottage at Carmel.
Benedict in answer to Hahn's ques'
tion, said he had noticed Mrs. sielaff
ankles and that they were entirely
dissfrnilar to those of the woman who
lived at his Carmel cottage. The
ankles of the Carmel woman, he said

Benedict said it was evident from
his conversation with Mrs. Sielatf
that she had never been in the Carmel
house. He said this in explanation
of his testimony yesterday that he
thought at the time that the woman
was a monumental faker."
Benedict named several discrepan-
cies in Mrs. Sielaff's description OF
the Carmel house as his reason for
disbelieving her.
Hahn asked Benedict to TOOK over
the court room and see if he could
locate a hat of some Woman's heao
that was similar to the one that the
Carmel woman had worn.

Attorney Gilbert of the evangelists
