GREAT IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Irrigating the Plain of Central Nav
 ajo County.

H. z. Buck, the attorney, returned yesterday from a trip to Holbrook, seat of government for the new county of Navajo, where for a week he has been engaged in drawing up articles of incorporation for a s2,0O0,0O0 com pany that is to redeem over 100000 acres of the fertile plain around Hol- brook. Extensive irrigation works are to be at once constructed, tapping the waters of the Little Colorado and Rio Puerco, and it is expected that but few years will elapse ere veritable Eden will have risen where now is but barren expanse. The climate is mild and all conditions are favorable to the growth of nearly every garden vegetable and of the deciduous fruits

WONDERFUL WORK.
Successful Test of Projectiles at Sandy
 Hook.

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-(By the As sociated Press. .)-A test of the Holtzer armor-piercing projectiles, manufac- tured by the Midvale Steel company of Philadelphia, was made yesterday afternoon at Sandy Hook and proved highly satisfactory. Four of the pro- jectiles were fired at an 111a-inch nickel steel armor plate, and in each case the projectile passed cleanly through the plate, then through three feet of oak backing and penetrated for a considerable distance into the sand butt. The projectiles were then dug out and found to be in perfect condi- tion. Each shell weighed fifty-seven pounds, and was calculated to travel with striking force of 1920 feet per second.

FINNERTY's SPEECH.
He Makes Some Strange Statements
 Against England.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-(By the Asso- ciated Press.)-The second days ses- sion of the National convention of Friends of Ireland, called to consider what steps should be taken to promote the agitation for Irish independence in view of the success of the conserva- tives in the recent English parliament tary election, opened with an attend ance even larger than that of yester- day.
 MT. Finnerty's address f today was made after he had been chosen chair man. He said in part. American papers question the prudence of hold ing this convention and dictating to us our policy and hoping we will do nothing to offend English sentiment What do we care for English senti- ment? Uaughter) We don't want to offend American sentiment, nor French sentiment, nor Russian senti- ment, but we want to offend most seri- ously our hereditary and merciless foe. (Cheers.) We are here today to sound the death knell of whiggery in Irish politics. We stand on our rights as a race to advocate absolute inde- pendence of the land that gave us and our fathers life. Our friends, the edi- torial writers, may preach doctrines of prudence. We will follow their ad- vice so long as it may be necessary will remind my American editorial friends that when America had a grievance against England they did not stand on the order on which they threw British tea chests into Boston harbor. The English press will say that we are here for other purposes than the accomplishment of the lib- erty of Ireland. It is physically and morally impossible for the English press to tell the truth. '(Cheers)
 We do, however, desire to tell Great Britain and France and Russia, and every possible enemy of Great Britain | that we are in this fight to stay. We are not in for one year, or three, but for war. Tremendous cheering,) We do not care if we are to be beset by whole battalions of English spies. We do not care if all Scotland Yard is within hearing tonight because we are meeting in public and for an avowed 1 purpose.

POISON IN A PEACH.
Woman Tries to Kill Bicycler for
 Injuring Her Child.

BAY CITY, Mich, Sept. 25.-(By the Associated Press. 1.-Two weeks ago a man on a bicycle ran into baby car riage, injuring the child, but not seri- ously The mother, whose name is unknown at present, made search for the man and finally decided that it was Bert Becker, clerk.
 Yesterday the woman offered to Becker a fine peach. He took it and she left. He fortunately looked the peach over before biting into it and was surprised to find the skin cut in one place. Further investigation showed that a part of it had been re- moved and the hole filled up with ar senic.
 The police now have the peach and are looking for the woman who gave it to Becker.

WILL BE CUT. Railroads Contest for
 Business. The Katy and the Rock Island Are In 1t. A Unique Circular Issued by
 the Santa Fe.
Nearly a E. illion Dollars Expected to Ee Taken in for AdmiS-
 sion Alone.
HOUSTON, Texas, Sept.

HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 25. - (Special) = The -Fitzsimmons physical culture, exhibition prom railroads for the business to Dallas, and even conservative passenger men fear that the heated competition for traffic may lead to some of the roads adopting methods not quite within the strict compliance with the binding agreement to maintain rates. There is now no doubt, however, about the railroads interesting themselves in the fight to the extent of buying admis- sion tickets to the arena. While the roads have made no attempt to keep the matter secret, none of the lines have announced that they will furnish admission tickets to purchasers of transportation over their road.
 Both the Katy and the Rock Island have bought lot of admission tickets, and each contracted for more upon conditions. The Santa Fe has bought a block of 500 seats in the big amphi- theater, running directly from the ringside backwards. The Santa Fe's notice to agents contains a chart showing the amphitheater to be the largest ever constructed, with the ex- ception of the Coliseum at Rome. It will seat 51, 1,612 actually, and in money at the rates given, will contain $768,- 660 at single exhibition. The word ing of the Santa Fe's private circular is quite unique. It reads:
 "Sir: There will be various amuse- ments at Dallas during the month ot October, among these being the con- vention of Christian churches from the 7th to 9th, and the Corbett-Fitz- simmons fight October 31.''
 The road bought no tickets for the convention; merely for the fight, al though it made low rates for both oc- casiOns.
 These tickets are undoubtedly being used to induce travel and there are

HAT iHHAAf SECOND SECOND ACCUSATION ACCUUSA ION
Major Donnell Takes Occasion 10 Explain
Few Things
Attorney Young Has Not Yet Filed the
Paper With Which He Threatened
the District Attorney

District Attorney Donnell waited all day
yesterday for Attorney j. Il. Young to file
his accusation against him with the
county clerk but the document did not
materialize. Major Donnell is exceed
iGgly wroth with Young. He accuses him
of peddling around lying document
containing a lot of lies and charges him
with libel.
The district attorney says that he re-
fused to let J. r. Mcintyre have COM
plant against kerwise, because he wanted
IT merely for the purpose OF lntimdating
herwise into paying him $llO0. Major
Donnell's investigation showed conclu-
svelyi that the check had been given by
kerwise oaly after he had been promised
by third party to be agent for liquor
dealer to deposit that amount in bank for
him the next morning. Furthermore the
understanding was that If there WAS no
money to meet the check the trade for
the half interest in the bowling alley on
Broadway must be off, When Kerwise
fund that there was no cash at the bank
here turned the bill Of sale for the half
interest to Mcintyre. All this time Ker-
wise was the owner of the other half in
terest, which he had bought from McIn-
tyre for $3.50, beside giving him $75 for an
option on the other half.
Mcintyre told Major Donncll that he re-
fused to sign the accusation drawn up by
Young because the facts as stated therein
were not true He believed that the off,
cial had acted right in refusing to draw
the complaint. Young and two other par
ties in the office then threatened McIn-
tyre so he said to Major Ddbnell, with
prosecution for compounding q felony.
The county official is at loss to under
stand what interest sways Young in cir
cuating charges against him which can
not possibly be substantiated. Major
Donnell says he knows what he is doing,
and that when he refused Mcintyre a
com mplant he did SO very properly be-
cause no public offense had been commit
ted bytkerwise and that there was an evi.
dent attempt made at the time to use the
crimina process of law as a means to a
a collection agency.
Kerwise is running the bowling alley.
having bought the other half interest by
giving his promissory note for it, and Nc
Intyre is alleged to have left the town.
The hearing of the Wheeler matter 10
set for this morning before Judge Van
Dyke, but it is not probable that it will
come off. because civil case is now en-
gaging the attention of the court.

THE STENCIL AT NIGHT
The Smell Is Reported to Come From the Oil
Refinery


The heal tn officer, DR.. Steddom, states
that he has been endeavoring to ascertain
for some time what causes the oppressive
stencil upon the streets at night Most
people have labored under the opinion
that it comes from the sewers, but such
is not the case, for the doctor states that
in localities where the stencil prevails he
has lifted the manholes and has found
the air from there refreshing. He says
that he thinks it comes from the oil re-
fnery on Alhambra street, and will take
steps toward abating the nuisance.
4 The smell from the refining process is
almost unbearable and Captain Hutton of
the street superintendent office says that
unless the gas is burned an oil refinery
can make a stencil sufficient to depopu
late a city of 400, 900 peoe.
DR.. Bryant is of the following opinion
about the matter:
II think" said he, that this stencil is
due to the oil overflow. 1t is by no means
injurious to the health, bat of course it
is decidedly unpleasant | don't know
anv way of stopping it, except that the
overflow be checked. The wind coming
in from the west carries the stencil down
through the cut. | do not think that 1t
is due to defective sewers
Other physicians who were spoken to
were Of the same opinion.
