If ENDS WITH
DINNER COSTING
$140 A PLATE
LUCULLAN FEAST FOL
LOWED RETURN TO N.Y.
OF SENATOR REYNOLDS
FROM STODDARD; FACES
CHARGE OF PERJURY.
Investigating tlic details of the sale
of tlic Seaside Park to the city. Dis
trict Attorney Swann and his assist
ants, Messrs. Black and Kilroc, yes
terday inadvertently uncovered the
accounts of a dinner at Sherry's on
May 24th last, given to former State
Senator William H. Reynolds (now
under indictment for perjury) which
coit $140 a plate.
The dinner was the culmination of
a trip given by Reynolds and William
M. Grevc, vice-president of the Ac
ponsit Realty Company, to Stoddard,
Arizona, in Harry Payne Whitney's
private car, "Vagabondia." Tlic trip
was made to enable prospective stock
holders in Arizona Binghaniton Cop
per Company, which Reynolds and
Grcve were promoting, to inspect the
mines of the company at Stoddard.
C Palmer Woodbury of Woodbury
& Co., stock brokers and bond dealers
at 44 Pine street, told District Attor
ney Swann and his assistants that
those present at the dinner were
Reynolds, the guest of honor; Mayor
Mitchell, Frank Bailey, vice-president
of the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany and president of the Realty As
sociates; William M. Grcve, vice
president of the Xeponsit Realty
Company; Charles O'Mallcy, city land
expert, who appraised the Seaside
Paik site at $5,000 an acre; John Kuhn
and Henry Roth of the Realty Asso
ciates; William A. Morschaucr, son-
in-iaw of Peter Doelger, the brewer
Edward J. M'cCrosscn, of Brooklyn,
and himself.
Reynolds' $600 Suit Case.
A feature of the dinner was the
presentation to ex-Senator Raynolds
of a suit case which cost $600. The
souvenirs were Tiffany studio lamps.
Woodbury furnished the District
Attorney with a list of the stock
holders. Among them are Frank
Bailey, George B. Mix of 185 Madison
avenue; Marie D. Bustanoby, of 80
West Fortieth street, and John H.
White of Xo. 817 West End avenue.
The latter is secretary of the com
pany. Mr. Woodbury told the District At
torney that Mayor Mitchell was to
buy 15,000 shares of this stock, but
later changed his mind. The books
of the concern show that 350,000
shares have been issued, the par value
of which is $5 a share.
"Reynolds told me," Mr. Woodbury
said to the district attorney, "that the
stock was to be taken up by his per
sonal friends, who would subscribe
more than he cared to sell, some 80,-
000 shares. He requested me to act
merely as banker in the matter.

OPERATIONS RESUME
ON THE MONTEZUMA
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
J. P. Waldron, of the Montezuma
Mining Co., who is in the city, re
ports operations as resuming, and the
driving of a long tunnel has started
under a contract As this develop
mcr.t progresses other work is to go
ahead, and plans arc closed by which
there will be no further interruptions
to carry out exploration decided upon.
This movement for the future of the
property, Mr. Waldron states, is due
to stockholders being appreciative of
what has been accomplished in that
zone of the Bradshaws by deep dc
vclopmcnt, and a single illustration
that of the Wildflowcr, is sufficient to
warrant a still further large outlay
for the Montezuma. "All sections ol
the Bradshaws arc now teeming with
activity, and there is no question of
the outcome," said this well known
mining man yesterday.
SLACKER TWINS HIT
HOT TRAIL IN CRIME
(From Wednesday's Daily..)
In addition to bearing the odium of
being classed as slackers, there are
two young men of Glcndalc who arc
now in the category of being horsc-
thicves, owing to certain transaction:
at Cottonwood, in Upper Verde val
ley, a short time ago.
These boys of not over 22 years of
age, escaped the draft by leaving the
Maricopa county town. They were
trailed as far as Parker, when the
search was abandoned. They took the
back track to Wickcnburg and shift
ed to the north, arriving at Clarkdalc,
where they began to make observa-'
tions for an attack along financial)
lines, their m'oiijy dwindling as the i
pace quickened to evade Federal of
ficers. In a fiehfthey singled out the (
best work lior?r-of a sturdy and wcll-
to-do fanner named J. P. Girdner,
which they took to Jerome and found j
a rcadv market for at $175 in cash.'
The slacker twins then held a council
of war and decided to break ranks.
one going to the Blythe country and i
the other "somewhere." Mr. Girdner
went to Jerome, where he was in-'
formed of what had taken place. The
buyer of his horse was followed to
Camp Verde, and was last seen going
over the Mogollon mountains, toward
Flagstaff. Officers of this county also
got into action at once, and several
left Prcscott for field duty, but as yet
the flanking of the enemy ha not
been accomplished.
One of the boys has been located in
the Blythe country, while the other.
it is said, will stand fire before the
barrage of Federal wrath and come out
of his trench later to prove an alibi
in the Cottonwood horse deal, and
line up before the wrath of the mili
tary after the smoke clears away, his
parents being in the reserve column
to prove that he is under the age of
being subject to conscription.
MINE OPERATOR IS
OPTIMISTIC OVER FUTURE
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
After a month in making observa
tions of the Silver Belt Consolidated
holdings, near Humboldt, John J.
Mahony, Jr., the president of the
company, left for San Francisco yes
terday, expressing himself as better
pleased than at any time since he be
came interested.
His favorable impressions arc based
on what has been determined, and not
from what may be anticipated. lie
said: "The drift from the 290-foot
level has started, and for the present
here will be no further sinking. The
ore body exposed is gratifying in size
and the silver-lead content is vcrj
satisfactory. The draft will go ahead
and crosscutting to determine the
walls is our objective. The future of
the Silver Belt is to receive other con
sideration, and after development
warrants the action under considera
tion, publicity will be given. The
outlook for realizing such a move
would seem encouraging, from the
snowing made. At no time have 1
been so favorably impressed with the
property as at the present."
Mr. Mahony is called home on con
tracting business for his firm, and ex
pects to return to Prcscott during the
present month.
OIL EXCITEMENT IN
HOLBROOK COUNTRY
(From Wednesday's Diily.)
M. T. Halloran, an arrival from
Holbrook during the week, reports
lively times prevailing in making loca
tions of oil lands, and to date the flat
country adjacent to the town has
been taken up to the extent of over
15O.W0 acres.
The occasion for the stampede is
due to dykes being opened, and the
odor emitted of a pronounced oil con
dition. Several oil men from Okla
homa. California and Colorado are
on the ground, the keen interest they
man-festcd being followed by those
residing in the country taking the tip
to acquire locations. One rig is being
brought in from Xew Mexico, and
various transactions, from taking an
optio'i to leasing, arc being closed up.
The favorable point for locating is
said to be near the Little Colorado
TWO BIG MINES
SHAPING UP TO RESUME
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
From a reliable source it was learn
ed yesterday that orders have been
issued from the Duluth office of the
Big Ledge Development Company to
resume operations on the Butternut
and Henrietta holdings on Big Bug
creek.
It is stated that inside of ten days
both properties will be active with a
full quota of miners in action, the
number to be employed exceeding
that when a suspension occurred a
few months ago. Coincident with this
important mine movement it is also
stated the Great Western smelter at
Mayer is prepared to receive a larger
tonnage then heretofore, several units
having been added since the shut
down, giving the plant a capacity ol
treating over 1,000 tons per day.
SMALL MINING DEAL
(From Thursday's Daily.)
Steve Farrar is in the city from the
Placcritas, and states he has sold his
two gold-silver claims to X. M. Xoon
an and F. 1. Ongalls, of Stockton,
Cal., the cash consideration being
$750, and a certain number of shares
of stock to be issued after incorpora
tion of a company. The new owners
will at once begin development, and
have a small testing plant en route.
Mr. Farrar is to leave today for

FEW MISSING AS
LOCAL BOARD
CALLS ROLL
ONLY THIRTY-ONE FAIL
TO APPEAR WHEN THIRD
CONTINGENT OF COUN
TY OFFERING TO LIBER
TY ARMY IS ASSEMBLED
(From Thursday's Daily.)
Out of the 169 men who had been
called on to report to the local ex
emption board yesterday evening, only
31 were not present at the time the
roll was called, and of the 31, the
board believes that quite a number
will show up during the day so that
they may be included in the contin
gent of 40 per cent which is to en
train this evening. Practically all of
the alternates were present, and from
their ranks, any gap winch may exist
at the hour of entrainment can be
tilled.
It was an enthusiastic bunch of
young Americans which appeared at
the district court room yesterday
evening at 5 o'clock. All the men
seemed in high spirits, and happy at
the prospect of the long trip which is
before them. ''The, boys were called
to order by Harry Heap, member of
the board and the roll was then call
ed. Mr. Hcaj) gave the lads a few in
structions as to what was expected of
them between that hour and the time
set for departure. Many of the boys
had relatives and friends in Prcscott
and wished to spend their last night
in the city with them, and others who
had no homes in the city, were form
ed in squads and taken to the hotel
where accommodations had been pre
pared for them.
The majority of the men attended
the big program given in their honor
at the Elks" theatre and then went to
the Odd Fellows' hall, where the re
mainder of the evening was spent in
dancing. They are to report to the
board at 5 o'clock this evening, and
will have their time to themselves nn
il that hour.
Practically the same arrangements
as were in effect at the time of the
departure - of the second- contingent
will be carried out this evening as re
gards the entrainment. Five Pull
mans have been provided for the use
of the men on the trip, and the train
will be run out of Prcscott as the first
section of the northbound passenger
train which leaves here at 11:30 p. m.
At Ash Fork the car with the King
man men will be hooked on the train
and a special will make the trip all
the way to Fort Riley, picking up ad
ditional cars at Flagstaff, Winslow
and Holbrook.
Owing to the fact that the greater
part of the work of the exemption
board is over, the hoard expects to
vacate its present quarters in the
Elks' lodge room, and move into one
of the rooms on the second floor ot
the same building, set apart for the
use of the attaches of the Federal
court when that tribunal is in session.
The full and complete list of the
men who will form the third contin
gent to leave this county will appear
in this paper tomorrow morning.
CATTLE MARKET
Special CorrespondencM-
KAXSAS CITY STOCK YARDS.
Oct. 1. Cattle receipts today were
38,000 head, market steady, best steers
here $16.25, stockcrs and feeders
strong in some cases. Hogs today
6,000, market stronger than Friday,
but weak as compared with Saturday,
top $19.50. Sheep and lambs today
14,000, market strong, lambs $17.50.
Beef Cattle.
Strictly prime steers arc quotable
around $17, but the best here today
sold at $16.25, and they were better
than anything offered last week. Kan
sas had a good run here today, also
the Texas Panhandle, there was a fair
run from Oklahoma, and from Colo
rado, one train from Oregon, between
30 and 40 cars from Xorthwcst Xc
braska. There is ample outlet for
killing steers, and prices arc slightly
better than the low time last Tues
day, but 25 to 35 cents under ten days
ago. Cows sell at $6.50 to $10, can
ncrs $5.50 to $6, veals up to $13.50.
. Stockers and Feeders.
A good crowd of buyers was here
last week, and the yards were well
cleared, prices not much changed dur
ing the wcckfl some sales at a reduc
tion, but no bargains offered. The
supply contains a big percentage of
stock cattle, and there arc a large
number of country buyers here today.
most of them jus,L looking, but they J
will take hold good tomorrow, btocfc
steers sell at $6.75 to $9, feeders $9 to
$11.50; fleshy feeders up to $15.25 in
the last week.
Hogs.
Packers inaugurated their annual
Fall bear campaign today, but it was
not effective in any great degree, or
der buyers paying $19.50 for choice
medium weights, packers stopping at
$19.45, bulk of sales $18.70 to $19.40.
A rumor comes from buying circles
that an attempt will be made to put
prices down materially in October,
and eventually hogs from the new
crop will have to sell at 15 cents a
pound, some quarters talking 12
cents at some time during the Winter,
but this estimate of 12 cents is re
garded as extreme, in view of supply
conditions. September receipts were
exceptionally light at all markets,
local supply being 101,000 head,
smallest September run since 1888.
Sheep and Lambs.
Prices have reacted 25 to 50 cents
from the low time last week, killing
lambs now worth up to $17.50, feed
ing lambs today at $17.50, paid for
Arizona ewe lambs, choice light
weight Westerns worth more, pos
sibly $18. Plain native lambs sell up
to $17.25. Apparently the market is
headed upwards.. Demand .for breed
ing ewes continues greater than the
supply, though a fair number arc
available from day to day, young
breeders worth $14 to $16.50, broken
mouth feeders $10 to $12.
ANOTHER LARGE MINING
MOVE CLOSED UP
(From Friday's Daily.)
Although the holdings of the Red
Mountain Consolidated Copper Mines
Co. arc located in Maricopa county
and near the line of Yavapai, Prcscott
is the main office of this syndicate.
and it was in this city where an im
portant annual meeting was held on
Wednesday night. Many of the prin
cipal stockholders are also residents,
anod as an outcome of deliberations
it was decided to swing into action on
quite a large operating scale on Xo
vember 10th.
In attendance was H. H. Gillespie,
of Mesa, who for over 20 years has
been identified with the property dur.
ing which time he has performed a
big line of development, sufficient cx
nosurcs being made to. support the
outlay of the capital necessary to per
oral development decided upon. Mr.
Gillespie is to retain an-interest under
the new arrangement, and is decidedly
optimistic over the outlook. The Red
Mountain, he says, has been thorough
ly prospected, anil carries c.xccption
illy high grade values 'in copper and
Sold, and with silver, as a factor.
;incc the price of this metal has ad-
-anccd. Among the new officers
elected is a prominently known oper
ator, who will succeed Colonel Fred
Bowler, of this city, as the president,
while other changes in the directorate
are also under consideration. Prcs
cott will continue to be the main
office.
PROMINENT PEOPLE

YAVAPAI MINES
(Fiom Thursday's Daily.)
Colonel E. P. Thayer, who figured
in promoting the Hassayampa Alfalfa
Farms Company land undertaking.
again is in the city, from Indianapolis,
He is accompanied by E. E. Schluss,
a capitalist of the above city, and
they are looking over different mining
fields of the State to make observa
tions before definitely deciding to
locate.
Colonel Thayer is quite familiar
with the mining possibilities of this
county, and his favorable impression
of this field will in all probability be
crystallized by himself and associate
closing deals. Colonel Thayer also
is interested in a large water power
movement on Burro creek, Eureka
district, by which it is contemplated
to supply mining camps .for a radius
of nearly 100 miles, with electrical
service. The visitors arc now in the
Jerome field. They arc traveling
through the State in auto.
POPULAR DOCTOR IS
CALLED TO THE COLORS
(From Thursday's Daily.)
Orders issued recently by the war
department which will be of interest to
many of Prcscott disclose that Dr. L.
Mcrvin Maus, for many years chief
of the medical corps at Fort Whipple,
has been called from the retired list
to enter the army again in the capac
ity of medical director of the Pacific
Coast division. He is now at San
Francisco, as the chief of this arm of
the service and his rank of colonel in
the active list has been restored to
him.
Colonel Maus also, it is stated, will
soon he promoted to a brigadier gen
eral, and will then enjoy the distinc
tion of then being at the head of the
army in the medical department. He
is a brother of General Marion P.
Maus, retired, who distinguished him
self in this State in early days. Both
brothers were stationed at Whipple
for many years.

(By Lyle
Special Correspondence. i
LEOX SPRINGS. Texas. Sept. 30.
Candidates for commissions in the
United States reserve corps got their
first taste of trench warfare here dur
ing the week just ended. Those things
which the instructors have been ham
mering into the "beans" of the officers-to-be
were vividly demonstrated
during the period the candidates spent
in the real trench zone they had con
structed under the direction of Lieu
tenant Bazin of the French army, two
weeks before.
The model trenches cover a zone
800 yards deep and about 500 yards
wide, and represent complete oppos
ing trench systems. Even the dug
outs for officers, signal corps, hospital
dressing stations, machine guns, il
luminating flares, barbed-wire en
tanglements arc reproduced.
Two thousand men marched into
the trenches early Tuesday morning.
The complete trench system was then
organized. Officers explained to the
men the procedure of "relieving" a
division of defenders. The men settled
down for the night, merely taking off
their heavy packs and curling up in
the narrow ditches, some seven feet
below the ground surface. Rest was
denied, however. As soon as it grew
so dark that enemy patrols might op
erate safely, the Huns opened with a
shower of "star shells," rockets of
magnesia, brighter than a photo
graphic flashlight and burning for
about a minute. Then came the
flares. Searchlights from hills five
miles away played on the zone. The
star shells, drifting with the wind and
suspended by their small white cloth
parachutes made the shadows of the
hackberry and live oak trees shift
over the scene in a most weird fash
ion. Here and there on the parapets
could be seen the improvised wooden
periscopes, moving grotesquely like
the necks of the imitation camels of
the circus clowns, as the observers
watched for enemy patrols.
The men forgot to be tired. My
company had been detailed to enlarge
the Tenth company's trenches during
the afternoon, but when the Bodies
began to shower us with light, we all
roused up and took in the "show."
Front line trenches were being held
by the Third, Fourth and Fifth com
panies. We didn't know when our
turn would come, but vc were anxious
for the attack, believing that in course
of the night, we would get a chance
to move up into the front line from
our supporting trenches. Soon, pa
trols from the front lines began to
arrive with prisoners, captured in No
Man's Land by rcconnoitcring parties.
Among these were five privates from
the Fifty-seventh infantry, a regiment
of regulars established near the Leon
Springs school. We learned that a
party of the regulars had crawled
up to our front line trenches in order
to sec what the students were doing.
The result was disastrous. In the
dark, they were taken for "enemies
and surrounded by two patrols of
candidates, who sent them back to
headquarters. The major was so
peeved at being disturbed that he
stood the men up along the wall of
his dugout and set a guard over them.
They were compelled to remain stand
ing from 11:30 that night until 5:30
the next morning.
At 12:30, the word was passed to
stand by for relief. Wc thought our
chance had come at last. But no.
When two relieving companies had
tiled in and had quietly taken our
places, wc were marched out in single
file, through half a mile of communi
cating trenches, and put to bed in an
ignominious manner in a set ol
trenches at least a mile from the front.
There wc remained until 9:30 the next
morning, when wc filed back and oc
cupied the front line. Meanwhile, a
great clatter of battle had proceeded
from the advance points. At 4:30, the
enemy, consisting of about half the
men in the camp, had pushed forward
a grand assault wave, which swept up
to the front line of trenches, and was
shoved back only after all our sup
ports had been called into action, and
had got a flanking attack under way.
Small packages of flour representing
hand grenades were hurled into our
trenches, and each man sprinkled with
the mixture was considered a "dead
er." Half a company of enemy troops.

including a captain were captured in
a counter assault in which the bayonet
(protected by the scabbards) was used
so freely that many received bad
bruises. At the outbreak of the at
tack, wc were wakened by the fiendish
shouting of the enemy as they poured
over the top. Instantly, the volume
of star shells and flare lights was in
creased, until the country side for
manv miles around was lighted to in
credible brilliance. A mile from the
scene of the fight, I could easily read
fine print by the light of the star
shells.
Our shift in the front line trenches
was from 9:30 Wednesday morning to
1 :30 that afternoon. Major Rowland,
the commanding officer of the com
pany, acting as battalion commander,
determined on an attack of reprisal
A hypothetical barrage was laid ot
the enemy trenches all morning, and
at 11:25 f'zero time" wc went ovci
the top in two enthusiastic waves. The
first wave, consisting of two platoons.
was called the assaulting wave, and
included hand and rifle grenadiers
fusiliers, or machine gunners and
voltieeurs. or riflemen, with fixed
bayonets. Gaps had been cut in our
wire during the preceding night, and
throuch these, wc sprinted, deploying
in Xo Man's Land for that steady
slow walk, that has become the
habitual mode of advance. It is only
when the assaulting wave has ap
proached within 50 yards of Fritz's
trench that the charge is taken up.
This steady, slow advance has some
thing in it more terrifying than any
charge. The determination of the
-llicd troops in France to close with
the enemy with the bayonet is the
essence of the successful assault. The
German soldier has the morale to
stand up under a fierce, disorderly
rush, but he can't grasp the temper
of an Allied platoon that calmly
marches right up to his parapet and
then begins sticking bayonets m him
Iflencc, the walking pace.
Our assault carried tlic right flank
of the enemy trenches. The major
had selected a time when the enemy
were about chewing their noon-day
meal, and when wc got into action,
about half the defenders were in no
shape to hurl back our assault. Wc
carried the front line, hung up over a
touplc of machine gun emplacements
and then were ousted from all bin
half the front line ditches by a strenu
ous counter-attack. The struggle
lasted but half an hour, but it was the
hottest, most tiring work most of our
men had ever been through.
Evcrv detail of trench holding and
every preparation for the assault were
reviewed by Lieutenant Bazm, who n
a typical French officer, and who
sneaks better English than 99 per cent
of the men in the camp. He was an
nihilated in one of the Verdun at
tacks, coming out of the fortifications
with 85 left out of his battalion of
over 400 men. Consequently, he
knows what trench warfare means.
From reports wc receive from the
American forces in Europe, mainly
via George Patullo's articles in the
Saturday Evening Post, wc learn that
the trainintr being given the students
here and the regulars there is identi
cal. 'The day is divided into drill,
learning machine guns, rifle and hand
grenades, bayonet combat principles
and such other special education as
modern war has made necessary to
the infantryman. Patullo was a stu
dent in the last camp here, earned his
commission, and is now in command
of a company in France' His articles
savor strongly of the idiom of the
training camp, such as we arc learn
ing here. It seems that some of his
stuff is a copy of the lectures wc get
from our bayonet instructors.
The first week in October, be
ginning tomorrow, is to be devoted in
part to range practice, the first the
camp has had. While all the men get
this instruction the artillery student
will have, in addition, the pleasure of
firing problems with the three-inch
rifles and the Four-Point-Scvcns. The
regular batteries, stationed here keep
the country shaking with their prac
tice salvos. Saturday, while on a hike,
the captain of one of the infantry
companies was informed by an excited
orderly that he was in the range'zone
of the shrapnel bursts being prepared
by the artillery. He turned to his

(From Saturday's Daily.)
The hospital operated by the Cath
olic Sisters at Phoenix was partially
destroyed by fire of unknown origin
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
hospital was completely filled with
natients and that no lives were lost
during the fire is considered remark
able.
The main part of the big structure
it Polk and Fourth streets was at
taked by the fire and completely
uincd, the roof being totally de
itroycd. The annex was saved
through the efforts of the firemen. The
boys from the High school, a block
or two away, did some mighty good
ork in carrying out the bed-fast
patients, and it was largely due to
their efforts that no fatalities oc
curred. The hospital was one of the largest
institutions of its kind in the State,
and its wrecking will be deplored by
all who were familiar with the good
work which was carried on there.
Mrs. P. J. Farley, of Prcscott, was
one of the first persons to be notified
of the fire.
company, which was plugging along
under full packs, and yelled: "Double
time. March." They double-timed,
all right.
