Chapman's counsel, an undertaken
and the dead mans sister, whose
further identity was not disclosed.
Of Chapman's life in Wethersfield
prison, it was made known he was
guarded closer probably than any
other convict who had ever been in
carcerated there. He entered with
the reputation of being a dangerous
man, one who worker more with his
brains than with his hands, and the
prison management took no chances
The finding of a bit of sharpened
steel in cell while Chapman's trial
for murder was in progress led to
the practice of changing him from
cell to cell each day, and it was said
he never occupied the same cell
twice. The prison management learn
ed to know him intimately.
Warden Henry K. w. Scott said
! Chapman was an exemplary prisoner,
considerate, courteous and gentleman
| ly. But the warden never relaxed
vigilance, always was prepared for
emergency. Another explanation was
made that frequent reports of Chap
mans illness rose from the fact he
was often confined in the hospital
ward although not i'll. This was due
to the practice Of changing his daily
abode.
So far as Connecticut authorities
have knowledge, Chapman had no
property, and it is reliably stated
that the source of funds which butt
tressed his court fights was never
disclosed.
! Chapman is said to have reaped' n
large sum of money in his various
robberies, but since he was brought
from Atlanta, no trace of money or
I Valuables was found.

accomplishing more if they dropped
plans for an export association to
raise the price of copper, and worked
for a more stable foreign policy"
The settlement of the Italian debt,
although not what it might have
been, is about four times as liberal
and fair as the proposed French debt
settlement, Douglas stated and ad-
ded that he believed this was so due
to the heavy voting strength of the
Italians in America. Too much po-
litical figuring enters into the set
tlement of these foreign debts, the
speaker asserted, and he predicted
that within the next three or four
years, the entire European debt prob
lem would come up again for re-
adjustment.
Among other problem which the
chamber considered, was the enter
tanning of the directors of the Ari-
zona industrial congress who are to
visit Douglas on April 27. 1t was
decided to entertain the visiting di-
rectors at a dinner and COMMITTEES
composed of B. A. Packard, p. G..
Beckett, J. S. Douglas, Mayor A. b.
Hinton and George Dave was named
to make arrangements for the gath
ering here.
Nominations Open.
1t was announced that nominations
for three directors to the chamber
are now open, the election to occur
early in May.
1t was decided that a special meet
ing of the chamber should be held
on April II when Frederic Winn, for
est supervisor comes here to speak
on forest-fire fighting and on the
formation of a similar organization
of fire-fighters to that organized
here last spring.
A letter from Senator Ralph Fl.
Cameron to F. D. Hubbell, stating
that he would do everything possible
to have weather bureau established
in Douglas was read, although the
senator stated that possibly lack OF
funds and a governmental policy OF
economy in Washington, might pre-
vent the realization of such wish.
A committee consisting of J. S.
Douglas, P. G. Beckett and Alfred
Paul was appointed to consider the
proposed Pittman bill on the pur-
chase of silver by the governm ent
at rate higher than is now being
quoted No action was taken regard
ing the local chamber being repre-
sented at a regional park conference
in FL Paso as it was felt that the
invitation received here was too in
definite as to the purpose of the con-
ference, to warrant the chamber be-
ing very Interested.

paper for an advertising appropriate
tion from the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce and Mines was turned
down by the directors who voted to
uphold the special chamber adver-
tising committee which failed to ap-
prove such advertising. 1t was voted
that the chamber give the Douglas
Baseball club $25 month for pe-
riod not exceeding five months in
length. President Rice of the cham
iber then read a letter which is to be
sent to the Cochise County Taxpay-
ers' association protesting any action
by that organization toward the cut
ting off the county and city appro-
priations to the local chamber. He
also suggested an open discussion on
the matter, stating that the cham
Der here has always been for tax re-
duction and always working with the
taxpayers association.
The directors voted to send that
letter to the taxpayers association
and to invite an open discussion on
the issue attended by the chambers
of commerce Of other cities in the
county. Bisbee especially, taking
part.
Applewhite's Opinion.
Speaking as president of the tax
payers association, S. P. App1ewhitc
acknowledged that the Bisbee and
Douglas chambers had always assist
ed in tax reduction efforts and he
expressed his thanks for their work
in that field. He expressed the be-
lief, however, that the receiving OIL
money from the county and city by
chambers of commerce in the county
was conducive to political influence
in the policies of the various cham
hers. He also stated that he believed
the money now being appropriated
from those two sources to the cham
bers could he raised by public sub
scription and canvass and urged that
tho Douglas chamber become self
supporting without county or city
funds.
Applewhite heartily endorsed a
section in Rice's letter calling for
efforts to bring the county seat to
Douglas and said that if that could
be accomplished, there would be no
need for such stringent tax reduc-
tion efforts. J. S. Douglas offered
the opinion that it was basicly wrong
for the chambers of commerce in the
county to accept such appropriations
due to the fact that the chambers
should be engaged in campaigns to
fight rates and charges which are
being maintained by concerns VINO
are paving the taxes from which the
county and city appropriations to
chambers are made. AS particular
instance, he asked why the local
chamber should take the tax money
of the S. P. railroad company 10 utll-
ize in fighting the rates of that con-
cern.
President Rice then read a letter
from ]. S. Douglas regarding the
telephone rates which the latter con-
tends are too high and at this juno

BAD STRATEGY

The Coconino Sun is not diplo-
matte, certainly not strategic, in
making such disclosures as this:
"You may believe the old gag
about editors starving to death if
you wish, but it does not apply to
Northern Arizona editors. The Hol-
brook Tribune is building a 30x36
foot addition to its home and the
Kingman Miner has recently put
in an up-to-the-minute typesetting
machine in order to keep pace with
old man prosperity over in Mo-
have county The Winslow Mail
is taking on fat and runs up to
ten pages or more, just as the idea
strikes Editor Giragi-and he'll
soon have to get a larger shovel
to handle his money with. Down
at st. Johns, Editor Montrose has
enlarged the Observer up to the
size of a Navajo rug. Gradually but
firmly the idea is spreading that
it pays to advertise. While the Sun
did not originate the idea, it has
often insinuated that there was
much truth in the statement"
1t pays all right to advertise
some things but not to advertise
too much our prosperity. It is well
enough to put up a fairly good
front but not to everyday it. More
money has been made by simu~
lating poverty than by making too
great show of riches. Colonel
Breen has in effect notified sub
scribers and advertisers of the ill
gotten gains of the newspapers and
they're likely to come around any
day now and demand reduction
of rates.-Arizona Republican. 4

"HOT SHOTS"
(Written for The Mail)
By "BOLSHEVIK" BILL

A recent issue of Golfers Week
ly carried an article by John L.
Wheeler, with the title: Does 1t
Pay to be Hardboiled" The arti-
Gle is centered around the career
Of Bud" Fisher, creator of Mutt
and Jeff, and whose fame and for
tune, he says, has been largely
builded on the theory that it does
pay.
Then, about the same time the
American Magazine came out with
an article giving the results of an
exhaustive effort of Mr.. Babson,
noted writer, which asserts, and
seems to prove, that the exact con-
trary is true.
That BUD Fisher has achieved
both fame and fortune, is not to be
questioned. His biographer in. this
instance gives him a rather shady
picture, mostly in Mexican saloons,
gambling parties, etc, where, no
doubt, the characteristic of hard
boiledness is almost necessity.

is, no one wins and all hands lose.

headed lot. They seem to think
each and all of them, severally and

to come over here and preach the

CLOUDBURST PILED LOGS
ON THE LAKE MARY ROAD

The livest shower of the many that
have hit around here in the last few
days was last Friday afternoon be-
tween two and four o'clock on the
Lake Mary road. 1t was q real old
time cloudburst, and it not only
floated logs from the surrounding
country down on to the road, but in
one or two places it double-decked
them, with the result that traffic was
rather hard for few hours and peo-
pie who came along later were sur
prised at the change in landscape
close to the road.
The road itself wasn't greatly dam.
aged. The same storm washed out
for a short distance under the Flag
staff Lumber Co. track, making it
necessary to repair before the trains
could be run over. The heavier part
of the storm extended from the Sui
livan ranch near the old slaughter
house south to the first railroad
crossing.
