GOV. HUGHES TO BE REMOVED.
He Was Appointed at the Request of
Arizona Churches.

Washington City. May 27.-Arizona is
10 nave change of governors. Probably
the shift VIII be made within the next
ten days. Hoke Smita is now in Atlanta,
bat he expects 10 be in his sffice next Tues
day. HIS removal of Hughes. the present
governor OF Arizona, Will be the first hard
work he does. 1t Is among the strong
probabilities that ex-Gov. Zulick, being
Cleveland's appointee during his first
term, Will be named as Gov. Hughes sue
cessor.
Gov. Hughes twenty years ago was A
Republican, and became by appointment
attorney general OF Arizona. Charges Of
financial recklessness were made, and
after thorough investigation the charges
were sustained. and Attorney General
Hughes cashiered. His Republica nism at
once took wings and he became a Demo-
erat. incidentally. Hughes about that
time joined the church and became excess
siveiy prominent as an active factor in all
church affairs. II was church influence
which secured his present appointment
No sooner was Cleveland inauguratcd
than Hughes became an applicant for the
position OF governor and backed his claims
by earnest appeals from the Young Mems
Christian Association. the Women's Chris
tfan Temperance Union, and all other ex-
cellent and religious Institutions. Ii was
too strong pressure for ,Hoke Smith, HIM
self strong church man and superin-
tendent of Sunday school. He named
Hughes governor of Arizona. Before three
months serious complaints began to pour
in. Hughes made his wife his secretary
and his daughter interpreter. She was
not Spanish scholar. He also appointed
his son TO office. and in an all round way
took care of the entire Hughes outfit.
But this was not all. Charges filed
against him specified irregularities in con-
nection with the public money. Inspector
Oliver. of the secret service was sent TO
Arizona TO investigate. This was about
May !, and he is now on his way home.
He has sent private word TO Hoke Smith
that Hughes is guilty of all that has been
charged. and the president and Smith have
determined that Gov. Hughes removal
will be made at once. Incidentally. they
have asked ex-Gov. Zulick II he will take
the place, and he has practically agreed
TO do SO. Zulich is resident of New Jer-
sey. The office has a salary of only S2,50o
year. but is rich in opportunities.

the midst of it all is an old-fashioned two
story dwelling where the Young Women
Christian Association offer many induce
ments to girls at the lunch hour.
Every girl or young woman working in
factories for blocks around know all that
can be known about the house, and many
of them have good reason to appreciate its
presence near where they work from
morning until night. For them it is a
noon-time clubhouse, with dining-room,
library and comfortable apartments, in
which very agreea Bile half hour may be
spent after luncheon that costs cents.
The old house that had served many
years as a dwelling is converted into a cozy
meeting-place. The parlors are neatly
furnished and well supplied with current
literature, among which is a sprinkling of
periodicals that especially interest women.
variety of music, including hymn-books.
Then still further back is spacious
dining-room very neatly and clearly kept
and more inviting in appearance than
many restaurant uptown.
AT IL A. NJ. the girls begin to arrive for
a continuous stream. The lady in charge
sells or 10 cents worth Of 1-cent
tickets, each of which buys a dish, so that
with five little checks q nice luncheon can
be had. Every day there is something
new for luncheon, though always cooked
in home fashion and served in homely
style by girl walters, who dress in white
and look quite attractive as they move
about.
On Monday there is cold corned-beef
with bread, butter and tea or coffee; on
Tuesday, beef stew and potatoes; on We'd
nesday, pork and beans; on Thursday,
roast beef and mashed potatoes, and so on,
changing daily as meals at home would
vary.
The luncheon is quite as good as any
served in modest homes at noon, a fact
which the young women fully appreciate.
And yet it costs but a cent for a meat dish,
another for tea or coffee and third for
bread and butter. If the girls who take
advantage of the dining-room and its adj
iuncts should desire to take lunch in res
taurant they would be compe. to walk
several blocks to reach a proper place and
then pay four OF five times as much for the
same fare. So they are very happy to have
such place in which to lunch.
After refreshing themselves they spend
the remainder of their noon hour in read
ing, while some of them may entertain the
rest with music or song. And when they
return to work again these young women
feel the better for their pleasant associa-
tions.
1t should not be imagined that there is
any semblance of charity about the lunch
room. That branch is self-sustaining from
the nickels and dimes of the girls. And
being so the promoters are satisfied to fur
nish reading and give night lessons
in dressmaking, millinery and cooking.
OF the hundred girls who go there at noon
large proportion take their own lunches
from home and take tea or coffee with their
companions. They all work in factories in
the neighborhood, and it is relief to
spend an hour in the company afforded by
the house on Howard street.

NoN-INTEREsT, BEARING BONDS.
What Is Thought of the Proposition to
Issue Such.


G. c. Terrill of the Builders Exchange,
when asked what he thought of the propo-
sition laid before a committee of the Board
of Supervisors to issue $1,000,000 OF non
Understanding bonds, receivable for taxes,
to create fund to hire the unemployed,
said: "This is a new question to me, but
will say l am not in favor of issuing
any interest bearing bonds to pay for any
city work or improvement, except such as
will bring return to the city, such as the
purchase of water works; gas works and
the like. | am in favor of issuing non
Understanding bonds in any sum that
may be required to put our streets and
sewers in good condition, but should not
like to see money so raised used to make
improvements that are not to be benefit
to the general public"
F. H. Dohrmann of the San Francisco
Merchants Association, in reference to
the demand for non-interest- bearing bonds,
said that while he had not had time to
study the proposition, he thought that to
Issue such, to provide funds to hire the I'M
employed, would be establishing bad pre-
cedent. "If such a course were pursued,
and it became known that bonds would
issue every time there were unemployed
men in this city, why men would crowd IN
from everywhere. A matter of that mag
nitude requires great deliberation and care
full consideration. If bonds are to be is
sued, let them be issued in such sums as
are required for public Improvements that
are absolutely needed and let the authori-
ties give employment to residents of San
francisco only, as our association has
done, giving married men the preference,
and that will go a great way toward set
ting the problem of the unemployed"

WILL END WITH BEETHOVEN.
THE BONN MASTERS SEVENTH
SYMPHONY CLOSES THE SERIES
TONIGHT.
BUT POPULAR Music WILL STILL
BE HEARD AT THE AUDI
forum.

AS things stand at present this evening s
performance at the Auditorium is to be
the last symphony concert given this sea-
son by the Metropolitan Musical Society.
Those musical people who have been con-
spicuous by their absence throughout the
series have, therefore, only one more
chance of discovering what rare treat
they have been missing.
The lack of attendance at Dvorak' s
''From the New World" which was given
two weeks ago, showed that novelties have
not the power to draw, and novelties prove
expensive luxuries when the box-office re-
ceipts are so small that the cost of procur-
ing orchestral scores alone makes a big
hole in them. To-night's concert, there
fore, will consist ofs Beethoven's seventh
symphony; Grieg's overture, 'In Au-
tumn," and Tschaikowsky's "Nutcracker''
suite. all of which were listened to with
keen satisfaction by verylimited audience
at the public rehearsal yesterday afternoon.
The Beethoven symphony was better
played than when the Beethoven cycle
drew such crowds to the Metropolitan
| Temple year ago. There was finish, a
security and a perfect sympathy between
the conductor and his men that were not
SO conspicuous then. Good performers
dropped out at the end of last season, it is
| true, but Scheel has had time to WELD his
present orchestra with his own mold and
! to stamp it with his own ability. One
scarcely noticeable slip made by the reeds
in the allegretto was all that marked yes
terdays performance as savoring at all OF
a rehearsal.
What brilliancy and verve Scheel gave
to the ''nutcracker" suite! The fairy
gracefulness of the light dances and the
CHARACTERISTIC dash of the forte passages
made Tschaikowsky's delightful music
almost intoxicating. Poor "Nutcracker''
suitel 1t has been heard in San Francisco
under many auspices; some of them
enough to kill its popularity forever. Yes
i terday, though, it indicated it's character

He WAS INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY
AND ALTERATION OF
BALLOTS.

Chief Crowley received dispatct' from
Deputy United States Marshal T. H. Bal

to arrest Alexander Wilkinson who was
wanted there on the charge of conspiracy.
Detective Ross Whitaker, was detailed
on the case, but it was not until yesterday
afternoon that he was able to locate Wilk-
inson. He found him at the racetrack,
and with the assistance of Policeman 0 Dea
placed him under arrest. Deputy Marshal
Ballantyne was informed by telegraph of
the arrest last night.
Wilkinson arrived here on February q,
and has since been trying unsuccessfully
to find employment. Then he began to
haunt the racetrack in the hope of getting
something to do. He is miner by occu-
patton and about % years of age.

who were running for the office of County
Collector of Weber County, and as there
were only few votes to overcome, Hurl-
