Presents Leaders Letter.

At the outset OF the committee
hearing last night Delegate Jesse
turned over to the committee a letter
which he had received from the lead
ing civic bodies Of the county an
nouncing their intention Of appealing
over his head to the General Assembly
for the passage Of the bill. He an
nounced that he was personally OPP
posed 10 the bill, but that he desired
the committee TO have the benefit OF
the information contained in the let
ter, witch was signed by William j..
Ingram, member Of the board Of SUI
pervisors, and the heads Of the larger
civic organizations In Arlington Coun-
t.. Copies of this letter previously
had been placed in the hands of Gov.
Byrd and Chairman Sinclair.
l.. e. McNemar, chairman OF the
Better Government Commission, be-
gan the testimony by explaining that
the question for the committee 10 de-
eide was not whether the county
should be incorporated, but whether or
not the people were to have the right
10 decide that question for themselves
at the polls. The commission, he said,
believes that an emergency exists re-
quiring immediate enactment Of legis-
lation providing for a referendum at
the proper time. He traced the history
OF the referendum movement from the
organization Of the Better Govern
ynent Commission TO the recent action
OF the Civic Federation and Chamber
of Commerce in favor of an enabling
act, and denied reports that the
Nchamber had favored the bin under a
1nisapprehension as to the possibility

where's Wayne"
"That's me, too-Wayne Wheeler .
And as you may have guessed by
this time, so it was. The car of the
Anti-Saloon league was due to make
a prohibition speech in big city
and the train had been his only
chance to get there The story is
told by Wheelers friends as illus
trating the late dry leaders humol
and resourcefulness.
In his early Ohio days, during
which he attracted the attention tC
himself which caused his elevation tc
leadership, Wheeler wanted to attend
a brewers convention downstate which
was not open to the public. He
boarded a train at Cleveland, quite
uncertain as to whether he would
get in when he had arrived at the
convention city.
The man beside him seemed wor-
ried and Wheeler, always affable and
something of good mixer" opened
the conversation. The stranger con-
fided that he had to make a IS
minute speech at a convention that
afternoon, was flabbergasted for lack
of ideas and couldn't possibly get out
of it. Wheeler allowed that he was
something of a lecturer and perhaps
he could help. Well, of course it was
the brewers convention and the
stranger was brewer. Wheeler pulled
out his inevitable pad of paper and
wrote the speech-it was a good one
too.
The brewer offered compensation
but Wheeler wouldn't take it. Never
theless, he had to kill some time
after leaving the train and he'd sort
of like to hear the man make the
speech. The brewer was delighted
Wheeler went into the convention
hall and took voluminous notes.
Suddenly the chairman interrupted
a speaker and announced:
II have just heard that repre-
sentative of the Anti-Saloon league
is present. We will suspend every
thing until the intruder is found and
| removed"
What a nerve that fellow must
have to come in here" remarked
Wheeler to his new friend as three
innocent bartenders were thrown oul
! of the hall.
That was one of Wheeler's favorite
stories. s'r~

Clash
IN CARSON CASE.
TRIAL FRIDAY

TUCSON, Sept. 30 -NIetallurgical
expert and veteran of the forum
clashed in a titanic battle of wits in
United States district court today be-
fore Judge William SaWtelle, who is
hearing the suit of the Carson In
vestment company against the Phelps
Dodge corporation and the Calumet
and Arizona Mining company, in which
millions in royalties are involved in
alleged infringements on Carson pat

H. D. Conant, general superintend-
ent of the smelling works OF the
Calumet and Hecla company OF Hub
bell, Mich, and John M. Zane, Chi
cago, counsel for the plaintiff and
writer of legal subjects, were the prin-
cipals in the protracted court duel,
which engaged Conant on the witness
stand the entire day under Zane's lire
of cross examination.
Conant, called as defense witness
was superintendent of the Dollar Bay
plant of the Lake Superior Smelling
company near Houghton, Mich, at the
time the defendant mining and smelt-
ing companies claim that surcharging
was carried on there in three big
smelling furnaces.

COUNTY FAIR IS
GREAT SUCCESS
SAYS JOE TARDY

""The seventh annual Cochise county
fair is undoubtedly a success from
every point of view With perfect
weather yesterdays crowd practically
doubled that of the opening day. They
came from every part of Cochise coun-
ty and they went away satisfied with
the program of sports, amusements
and educational exhibits. Today with
a unequalled program devoted to horse
racing, the sports of kings the at
tendance record should be broken"
Thus j. w. Tardy, president Of the
Cochise County Fair association.
summed up his view OF this years
county fair, now running at full blast
at the Douglas fair grounds, two miles
east of the city.
Everywhere about the fair grounds
were proof of his opinion that the
seventh fair was successful. More than
a thousand men, women and children
paid admission to the fenced enclosure
in which the cowboy sports program
was run off. In the exhibit buildings
constantly changed throngs streamed
through the crowded aisles from be-
fore 10 a. m. until late in the evening.
On every side it was remarked that
the fair surpassed any previous event
of it's kind here The cowboy sports
program was unanimously held to be
twice as big and twice as thrilling as
any offered in the past. Next in popu-
larity, Judging from attendance, was
the poultry show, with twice as many
birds as ever before including num-
ber of entirely new varieties SO far as
a Cochise county fair is concerned.
Of the other exhibits, the livestock,
agricultural products, educational
work, and domestic science and art,
attendance was about evenly divided
and there was no booth on the ground
which did not attract a goodly share
/ of patronage. hE
In the broad midway were seen men
and women from various parts OF the
southwest beyond CochiSe county. Old
friends who had not met in years
stopped to shake hands and chat
among the hundreds of automobiles
which lined the roadways and Wove
in and out Of the crowds
The fair will continue today and TO-
morrow, closing tomorrow evening, with
the annual program of stock car auto
mobile races scheduled for Sunday In
the international Speedway on the
fair grounds. The largest crowds, OF
course, are expected at the talr
grounds today and tomorrow, mas
much as they are the closing days OF
Ehe fair.

More Truth Than Poetry
EASY CONSCIENCE
BY JAMES 3. MONTAGUE

EAS4 CONOOl6NOE
1t always has been my assiduous aim
When 1 failed to gain power or
sS pelf,
To solace my soul with the thought
II, that the blame Il
Wasn't due in the least to myself. y
And when, after strenuous struggle
That I cannot be classed with the
one-spots,
Or the kings in the deck, it is pleas
ant to hear
That my actions are governed by
Sun-spots.
When find myself driving a ball off
the tee
Leaving more urgent labor undone
The fault for my idleneSs lies not in
me
It's the work of a spot on the sun.
When friends bid me share in their
prandial cheer
And I haven't the strength to
resist 'em-
I am under the spell of the governing
sphere
Of our local sidereal system.
OF statutes I always have stood in
deep awe;
1t is dreadfully wicked, think,
To infringe the revered and the
sovereign law
Which relates to the use of strong
drink.
And never a nlinim of gin I absorb
Or sip from an ale-laden flagon-
Save at times when the spots on that
miSchievous orb
Have forced me to fall off the
wagon.
My conscience once kept me awake
quite bit
When found I had swerved from
the right,
Always my behavior, I'm free to
admit
Hasn't been quite as good as it
might.
But now can sleep till the rise of
the sun
For, though sometimes perhaps 1
have ventured
To do certain things that I shouldn't
have done,
The Sun-spots, not me, should be
censured.
