IN DEEP MYSTERY.
All That Was Learned of the
 Murder Yesterday
Was That the Three Suspects in Jail Are Innocent-Funeralo of the
 Murdered Man Today.

There were no additional develop ments in the Smith murder case yester- day, that is, there were none pointing to the perpetrators of the crime. The authorities have satisfied themselves that the tramps. Earl, Johnson ard Mcdonald, are innocent and no move will be made to hold them for the crime.
 The only evidence against them was that they were found Tn the direction whither the murderers are known to have fled and that their shoes fitted the footprints made by the slayers of Smith. This was more than offset by the circumstance that neither of the revolvers found upon them was of the same caliber as the bullet which pierced Smiths heart But the coin cidence of the footprints in itself IS uncertain and almost valueless when it is taken into consideration that so many men wear number seven shoes and that the footprints in this case made by men running were devoid of outline marking distinguishing pe- culiarities.
 The clothing found ii the possession of the prisoners was identified by Messrs Winters and Long last night as part of the stock stolen when the Mesa branch of the Bee Hive store was burg larized last April.
 This will constitute the basis of complaint which will be sworn out against them today.
 The inquest upon the death of Smith was continued until this morning, pending the return of Sheriff Orme and Deputy George, who were out yesterday in search of other clues to the murder. They came in late yesterday afternoon but had learned nothing likely to throw any immediate light on the case, so the inquest is practically concluded.
 The funeral of the murdered man will take place at 10 o'clock this morning from the family residence.

 the Trial.

 CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Judge Grosscup has postponed the Debs trial until the first Monday in May. He discharged the jury today on account of the illness of Juror Coe.
 A dramatic scene followed the decis- ion of Judge Grosscup discharging the jury. The jurymen left their seats and while some stopped to shake Judge Grosscup's hand, the majority of them hurried to where the prisoners were seated and surrounded Debs. They slapped him on the back, shook hands with hlm again. and again expressed their profound admiration for his bear ing during the trial. ''Debs," said Juror Laird, "when this trial opened 1 was in favor of giving you five year sentence, but now am anxious to see you free" Similar expressions were heard from other jurors. and it was evil dent that the case would have resulted in an acouittal had it not ended in @ miBtrlal.
 Attorneys for the defense were crest fallen at the sudden ending of the case. All expressed an opinion that victory was in sight for the defendants when Juror Goes illness stopped proceed | ings. The defendants were equally sorry that the trial could not proceed. Debs expressed himself as confident that he and his associates would have been acquitted.
 | The continuance of the case leaves the A. R. U. dire ctors temporarily out under two bail bonds each. The ap- peal from the contempt sentences is still pending in the supreme court, where each defendant is under bonds, and bail in the present or conspiracy case will stand until the trial is re- stunned next May.

THE MOON AND THE WEATHER,
Lunar Influence in Meteorology Is Pro-
nounced All Moonshine.

tnHueuce III mtttoTpioE9 80 "
nounced All Moonshine.
An interesting summary of the
moons influence on the weather is
given in the monthly bulletin of the
weather bureau. The question turns
on the widely prevalent, popular no
ton that the moons changes bring
about changes in the weather; that
moonlight has certain influence on
the clouds, and that sleeping in moon
light is dangerous. The scientists,
however, find nothing to warrant such
belief, after careful study.
In directing the most powerful lenses
and reflectors toward the moon, and
then placing in their focus the most
sensitive thermometer, nothing has
ever been discovered that could lead to
the conclusion that heat or cold was
produced directly or through reflection.
According to the most delicate expert
ments of the most famous scientists
the heat of the lunar rays which reach
the earth is scarcely twelve-m illionths
of a degree
The moons light has been found to
be about three hundred thousand times
less than that of the sun, and, accord
ing to Prof. Young, a sky complete
covered with full moons would give
only one-eighth of the light we get
from the sun. 1t thus seems improba-
BILE that the moon has any appreciable
meteorological influence. NJ. Camille
Flammarion, the astronomer, says:
1.-THE luminous or calorific action of
our satellite is SO feeble that it by no
means explains the popular preju'
dices."
A possible source of influence is the
tides produced in the air by the attrac-
ton of the moon. 1t is uuquestioned
that such tides are produced in the at
mosphere just as on .he ocean, but
here again the most careful tests re-
veal no more changes than would be
expressed by rise or fall of some hun
dredths of an inch in the barometric
column. The daily changes due to 9TH
er causes show variations of from one
half to two and one-half inches, and
the measure of the moons influence
would be in the way of periodic daily
changes. They are thus too slight to
Dc
1t has been found that at Paris the
maximum of rainy days occurs between
the first quarter and the full moon,
and the minimum between the last
quarter and the new moon; this has
also been found true at Stuttgart, but
at Poitiers, not three hundred miles
from Paris, just the opposite was found
to be true
M. Flammarion says regarding the
faith of farmers and sailors in the pre-
dictions made during the various phases
of the moon: "They only consider them
to within day or two before or after
the change; noticing one fact in agree
ment and neglecting ten which are not

A common saying among sailors is
that "the moon eats up the clouds"
They think that the clouds melt away
as soon as the moonlight strikes them.

ture of the surrounding air. In such
case the moon would have nothing to
do with it, and would only enable us
to see the fact which is not noticed on
dark nights.-Boston Herald.
