Flood and storm conditions approaching those which swept southern and central Arizona with disastrous results a month ago were repeated several days ago. Two cities--Globe and Miami--were isolated. In the Salt River Valley damage amounting to more than $100,000 has been done. In Phoenix the streets were rivers, and animals valued at $30,000 were drowned in a menagerie. Ranchers in the lowlands were caught unprepared and scores were rescued from trees and housetops by boats after their homes had been swept away. Many productive areas between here and Bisbee are still covered by the flood, which in places reached the highest stage recorded in twenty years. $25,000 to Girl Who Kept Nice and Quiet. Just how golden constant and well-regulated silence can be made was evidenced when Miss Bertha Gretsch of New York, learned that Jacob Hyman had bequeathed her half of a $50,000 estate because she didn’t laugh and talk when he took her fishing. Hyman, who was seventy-three years old when he died lived with Miss Gretsch’s parents for many years, and since her early childhood she was his constant companion. Being of a silent and contemplative nature, the aged man enjoined her to always sit still and not be giddy when she was about with him, particularly when he went angling. She was, however, permitted to utter monosyllables in monotone when he made an unusually good catch. Regarding a loud laugh as one of the disturbers of philosophic calm, Mr. Hyman was opposed sternly to visible and risible mirth. And because Miss Gretsch could fish without giggling or otherwise impeding the sound of absolute silence, she is now an heiress. She is twenty-two years old and is a graduate of Erasmus Hall High School. Mr. Hyman was noted during the latter years of his life for his benefactions to Jewish institutions. He was in business for some time at 5 Beekman Street. Another Man Restores Stealings. W. H. Chapin, convicted of larceny by bailee in Portland, Ore., for appropriating to his use $3,500 belonging to Mrs. Marion Annie Grace, was given a full pardon by Governor Oswald West, who executed the instrument upon receiving a bond signed by Chapin’s friends guaranteeing that he would make restitution. Mrs. Grace and her husband, an aged couple, alleged that they had placed their savings in Chapin’s hands for investment, and that he had converted the money to his own use. Governor West notified Chapin that if he would guarantee full restitution, a pardon would be forthcoming. “It seems more important,” wrote the governor, “that these old people should be provided for than that Chapin should go to the penitentiary.” Government Plan to Aid Unemployed. The Federal department of labor has completed the preliminary work in connection with the Federal employment bureau, and necessary blanks are being sent employers throughout the country and to post offices for distribution to persons seeking employment.
