garding his destination after that he said he had received no intimation. On the subject Of mastering out the volunteers Major Stilwell said he be- lieved the army would be disbanded slowly, except in special cases. Though peace is at hand and In effect in force without an apparent probability of serious complications before a final adjustment is made, Major Stilwell said that unforeseen trouble is always possible and the government would hardly allow itself to be caught unpre- pared again. Many regiments want to disband or at least a majority of the members of them do. In such cases whenever it is practicable these regi- ments will probably be included in the earlier orders for mastering out.
 Speaking of climatic matters, the major said he was glad to get back to the refreshing coolness and dryness of Arizona nights Since leaving Phoe- nix he has been all the time in Wash ington. Many night he has tossed on a sleepless bed auffocating and wishing that he might be once more at his residence in Capitol addition ex- posed to the sweep cf the sleep-bearing night wind.

MILITARY SURPRISE.
Which a Herald Warning Failed to
 Avert.

Whats the use of printing "today's news today" if people do not read it until tomorrow? Companies B and A and the signal corps had arranged to surprise Adjutant- General Robinson by a serenade on Tuesday night. The boys had been making preparations for this pleasant event for several days and had sworn each other to secrecy. They had secured band without explaining what it was wanted for. There were two reasons why they didn't want the adjutant-general to know anything about it. One was that he might not incur any expense or go to any trou- ble for their entertainment. The other was that they wanted to see his ex- pression of mingled surprise and pleas ure. They had enlisted the services of Captain Baldwin to see that he should be at home and they intSaded to deploy about the house, form silent ly by the whistling command, fire a volley and then start up cle music. Everything was properly fixed for springing the serenade on the adju- tant-general.
 The day before with what might have been fatal caution they told the newspaper reporters about the intended surprise, fearful that they might have heard of it in some other way and would give it publicity. The reporters were begged to restrain themselves until it was all over.
 On the afternoon before this in- tended event, the Herald announced that the militia was going to surprise Adjutant-General Robinson that night. There was anger in the camp. The serenade was apparently robbed of it's chief feature and it was proposed to march out to the adjutant-general' s house, serenade him and come away. One of the guardsmen. though. had sound ideas of newspaper circulation. He said if the Herald announcement came to the eye or ear of General Robinson it would be scratch. The original programme was therefore car ried out and just such a pleasant sur prise as had been contemplated was inflicted. The adjutant-general had been made none the wiser for the warning note sent out by the Herald

 The signaling invention of Edgar Allan Poe, who wrote this subject up ir his characterstically weird fashion is familiar to al readers.

In "Jezebel's Daughter" the idea is very similar, save that instead of throat apparatus, wires were fas- tened to the hands of the corpse. Last year Sir Henry Littlejohn told his stu dents at Edinburgh of fancy coffin fitted with patent springs so construct ed that on the slightest indication oi returning life they would immediately open the coffin and thus save the vic tim. This may have been a reference to the Russian invention, seeing that the idea is the same, though there is a slight difference in detail-Chambers Journal

A JUSTICE RESIGNS.
The Office of Judge kaIfenbaCh at GiIa Bend Wiped Out By Storm.

Clerk Gray of the board of super visors yesterday received letter from Judge Luther Kaltenbach of Gila Bend containing his resignation as justice of the peace of that precinct It was hardly necessary for Judge Kal- tenbach to take this step, as he had been previously dispossessed of his of flee by the tornado which visited Gila Bend couple of weeks ago. Still there could be nothing wrong about a formal resignation and the accompany ing letter explaining what was not known before by the supervisors of flee. that the local court of Gila Bend had absolutely passed out of existence. Nothing remained but the justice, and he had no tools to work with. He wrote that the tornado had destroyed all of his records. dockets. blanks, one copy of the revised statutes and one ballot box. Under these circumstances the administration of justice at Gila Bend would appear a mockery. The judge wrote also that he had been jn- ;ured in person by the storm and had found it advisable to go to California until he should recover from those in- juries.
 His resignation was accepted, but his successor has not been appointed. Judge Kaltenbach has been at Gila Bend great many years and during the most of his residence there he has been justice ot the peace. Though he may have made errors they were only of the kind common to all magistrates who have not been reared to the law Judge Kaltenbach has never been ac- cused of dishonesty in his administra- tion of justice.
 His departure from Gila Bend will make another big hole in that already stricken community and will reinforce a statement made by letter from a resident of that town after the storm, that "Gila Bend is used up.''

A NEGRO PORTER
Charged With the MurderOuS Assault
on Joe MarSiCanO.
RECOGNIZED BY SAL00NlST
Placed Under Arrest and Bound Oyer
to Grand Jury.
RECOGNIZED BY SALOONIST
DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE OF CRIME
Walked Into Marsicano's Saloon Yes
terday Morning and Was at Once
Swallowed Peyton Johnson
Rearrested as Accessory.

Bob Williams, a negro porter for d. ID.
Brown furniture dealer in Third avenue
near Eighteenth street, was arrested yes
terday morning and few hours later was
bound over to the grand jury without bail
on the charge of assauiting and robbing
Joe Marsicano, the Italian saloonkeeper in
his place of business at liza Second avenue,
on Sunday, November 10, last.
Shortly after o clock yesterday Williams
walked into Marsicanos saloon by the back
door. Marsicano who had just gotten out
of the hospital where he had been compelled
to go account of the assault made upon
him, was seated by the stove with his head
bandaged up. The negro greeted him by
exclaiming: Hello, Joe; what's the . tier
with your head?"
Marscano was struck by the familiarity
of the voice and gancing up recognized
Williams as his assaiant. Giving him an
evasive answer, he busted himself around
the saloon and managed to wake his porter
and instructed him to go for an officer.
Williams seemed to smell mouse" and
soon took mis- departure, returning, how
ever, evidently dismissing his suspicion as
unfounded. Williams was restless, and
again left the saloon, going out by the
back door. The porter followed shortly at
ter with instructions to follow the negro
and have him arrested
When the porter reached Nineteenth
street and Third avenue he dashed up Nine
tenth street to police headquarters, where
he reported the facts. Night Captain VIII
Wear and Market Clerk Jack Curran, who
happened to be in the office, accompanied
the porter going down the alley to Twenti-
eth street and thence to Third avenue, over
taking Williams between Twenty-second
and Twenty streets. He was appar-
emily much surprised when placed under
arrest and when arraigned before Judge
Feag.n in the inferior criminal court stout
ly denied any knowledge of the assault.
Marsicano was present and testified that
he was certain that the negro was the
same who had committed the assault upon
over without bail.
After the trial Peyton Johnson, who was
arrested on the morning that the assault
was committed, charged with some knowl-
edge of the crime, having been at the door
of the saloon, and who was afterwards
leased, called at the Jail to see Williams
and stated that he was not the negro who
entered the saloon. His actions were some
what suspicious, and later it was decided
to rearrest him as an accessory, which was
done by Officer Hamilton at II o'clock.
1t will be remembered that Marsicano
was found in his saloon about 1920 o'clock
on the Sunday morning in question, lying
in a pool of blood with terrible wound
on his head, which he said had been made
by negro to whom he refused drink.
Previous to the assault, Williams is said
to have frequently visited Marsicano's
place. but since that time had not been
seen there until yesterday.

TROUBLE FOR ROBERTS.
Women Will Oppose the Biramist's TAX
ing His Seat in Congress.

New York, December 9.--The Herald to-
day says:
Efforts to prevent Brigham H. Roberts,
representative-ect from Utah. from taking
his seat in the Fifty-siXth congress because
he is aplygamist and advocates the doctrine
of the Mormon church. is to have che or
ganized support of hundreds of thousands
of women in the United States. An initial
movement Is TO take organized form in this
city at a meeting of the Presbyterian Wo-
mans board home missions on December
90. This movement is not to be confined Ia
missionary societies but is to be started
through them as convenient way of
arousing interest over the entire country.
The women are 10 give information re-
garding the Roberts case and the supposed
danger of the revival of polygany ano to
unite in obtaining personal letters 10 rep
resentativcs in all districts throughout the
country. portesting against the seating Of
an avowed polygamist.
In the women's fight against Roberts Is
to be urged that If he is seated the Mormon
church will grant dispensations to many
men to take more wives. Missionaries who
have been studying the Utah situation say
that many polygamists are now making ar
rsngcments to that end.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, December 9.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Transactions in both stocks and bonds
this week have been active and the market
shows broadening tendency. Influenced
by investment, purchasing prices in the
bond list have advanced, while dividend
paying stocks, or those which are expected
to take that position are also being alb
sorbed to some extent by permanent hold
ers. Public and foreign participation on
the bull side renders the market, as a
whole, less susceptible to professional
manipulation, but in spite of its generally
strong tone the movement of stock prices
during the week leaves the impression of
irregularity. The securities which ordin-
arily lead the market are less prominent,
and most OF the features were supplied by
specialties and stocks which have held
subordinate position. The speculative un-
dertone has been very strong, however, and
any slight depressions seem to develop re-
newed buying powers. London shows in
creasing favor for American stocks and its
purchasing has been sufficiently steady to
give material aid to the bull side. The ease
of the money market here facilitates buy
ing by the public, although the fact that
stocks are being carried to, an unusual ex-
tent on call loans does not escape atten-
ton.
The market at large Is impressed only
with the favorable foreign trade situation
encouraging business outlook, the abund-
ance of capital seeking investment and the
excellent earnings which railroads are gen.
orally reporting. Actual and possible
dividend payments by railroad and indus
trial companies also play part In sustain
ing the decidedly bulish feeling OF the mar
ket and the more prominent operators are
generally active on that side of the account
or If they take profits in one part of the list
do so to transfer their attention to other
stocks.
The presidents message was favorably
received and the expected speedy signing
of the treaty of peace with Spain was a
factor in causing the very strong tone at
the end of the week.

Gives His Reasons for Opposing An
nexation of the Suburbs.

The Age-Herald is in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from Alderman j. J. Altman,
giving his reasons for oppos ng annexation:
10 the Editor of The Age-Hera!d:
l have been asked to state the reasons
for the opposition to annexation OF the
suburbs. l do SO briefly without going
into lengthy argument. The two main
reasons are:
First. 1t clearly appears that a decided
majority of the people OF the suburbs are
opposed to annexation.
Second The financial condition of Biz
mingham is such that we cannot take care
of the suburbs.
do not propose to discuss the first rea-
son. ! am full of the belief that our SUI
burban friends know what they don't want
and why they don't want it, AS an evil
dence that we are not able to properly take
care of the suburbs, l have but to refer to
what we doing for our own city N the
all important matters of street improve
ments and repairs, police protection and
school advantages, to say nothing of the
facts that we have defauited on interest to
an amount exceeding a quarter of a million
of dollars and that judgments unsatsfed
stare at us from the court records to the
extent of several thousand dollars.
How de we expect to give the suburbs po-
Zee protection, when We arc not able to
employ sufficient force Ak h9ine. ALTHOUGH
highway robbery is almost of daily occur
renee?
How can we hope to aid them in the mat
tiers of schools, in face of the fact that
our own children are forced to travel, re-
gardless of weather, long distances to
crowded school buildings Let us first see
whether we can do anything for our own
school systematic crown jewel of Birining-
ham, We need more school bu ldings now
and will need more teachers. AS to streets,
/ have but to invite annexationsts to walk
with me along the undiscovered gulley
washed sidewalks and look at the streets
in many parts of the city, In order to con-
vince them that we would not be able to
give others aid. Can it be expected that
n city in this condition is able to help others
build sewers and establish fire depart
ments? Surely not. Our people have borne
the burdens of \ 5h merchants tax, an
enormous license tax, and an unreasonable
street tax for years. Now, that it would
seem there is chance for some relief it is
proposed TO seek new fields for the expendi-
ture of money-money that we haven't got
and will not have. / insist, and shall con-
tipue to insist. that these license, and
other taxes shall be cut down to the very
lowest figures .o.noi iible with the public
good having in view the strictest economy.
II Is proposed. simply because we have the
power of taxation. as prov ded in the con-
stitutiona amendment. to exercise that
power to the uttermost limit? ! protest

Israelites throughout the world.
The festival is one of the most joyous in

victory of the Jews, of the Maccabees, and
the restoration of the Temple.
In almost every Jewish family small cam
dies are lighted, to commemorate the burn
ing of the golden candlestick in the re-
stored Temple, which through the Provi-

days, although the supply of Oil was not
thought sufficient for one day
