 ifestly on 6he wrong side were men who had nothing else to do. They liked their jobs and did not want the per diem to be brought to 8 premature end by a hasty adjudication of the business before the court. A disagree ment meant q new trial and new trial meant more per diems. Officials be- lieve that these disagreeing jurymen would have felt just as much at home on the other side of the controversy as the one they had taken, ana would no doubt have been on the other side if it had been necessary in order to compel a disagreement. This is why prosecuting attorneys always want business men or men who have little time or inclination to serve on juries.

THE RETURN OF PETERSON
He Gould Live Nowhere Else Than in
 Phoenix.

John Peterson turned up again in Phoenix on Monday night Peterson IS persona non grata in Phoenix, ana wherever else he has been He has been run out of every town and mining camp in Arizona. He is not tolerated Tn New Mexico and was recently given a f1oater from Fl Paso. Of all the men who have ever lived in Phoenix upon the earnings of fallen women, Peterson IS the most disreputable Last spring he was convicted in police court and sentenced to seventy-fve days in the city Jail. Sentence was suspended on condition that he leave town ana stay away
 He was arrested on Monday night b. Deputy sheriff Doheney, who hal. learned of his presence in town, ana had sworn out a warrant against him on charge of vagrancy. In the after noon before Peterson had sent an in termediary to the officer with a bribc Of S1O if he would not serve the war rant. But he was put in his rightful place under the clock and was taken before Justice Johnstone yesterday He was released on $25 bail for. his ap- pearance this afternoon. Officer Do heney then paralyzed him by turning him over to the city officials Peter son sought to touch the heart of Re- corder Jobs by saying that when he went away last spring he did not ex- pect to return. His health failed him in the north and physicians warned him that he could not live outside the healthful climate or Arizona. The re- corder was unabIe to understand why he should live anywhere or at all, and sent him below.

CITY WATER WORKS
The Council Orders an Flee.
 lion for January I2.
Resianafion of City Attorney FIan- nigan Who is Succeeded by Waller Benneff-The Extension of City Limits.

The most important meeting of the city council in years was held last night. A forward step was taken in the matter of a new water works and sewerage system according to plans prepared by Ernest Abs-Hagen several months ago, and which were adopted and placed on file. The city recorder was directed by resolution to prepare an advertisement submitting to tax payers a proposition to vote bonds amounting to $265,00 for the purpose of constructing the two systems or they may vote upon the single propo- sition of a $50, ,000 bond issue for the water works system alone. This cleo tiOn will be held on January 12. This resolution was adopted without much discussion and without any disagree ment. The subject had already been thoroughly gone over. The council had recognized the need of the pro- posed improvement and so far as the members could ascertain believed that it was favored by a majority of taXpay- CTS.
 Another matter of hardly less inn portance was taken up, a new charter. Mayor Adams proposed that the work be gone about directly. It had been undel--nen two years ago, but in the wrong way. A committee of fifteen struggled with it for weeks only to de- stroy at one meeting what had been accomplished at the previous one. The end was that while the committee was deliberating the legislature came and went and nothing was done. The mayor suggested that now the council direct the city attorney to prepare charter to be submitted to the council for changes or approval. The people would have an opportunity to pass upon it after it had emerged from the legislature. He further recommended that the recorder be instructed to ob- tain copies of charters of various cities of the size, population and condition of Phoenix. These recommendations were put in resolution instructing the re- corder to secure these charters, as well l as copy of the model charter adopted | by the civil service league, one of l whose objects is to 1romote better mu- | nicipal government.
 City Attorney Flannigan rendered his | resignation. His approaching duties [ as district attorney, he said, compelled 1 him to devote great deal Of time to The city had important actions pending appeal to the su- preme court and they needed instant which he was unable to give. Therefore he would ask that his resig- nation be accepted at once This was done and vote of thanks was rendered

 finUed.

After having teen out all night the jury in the ease of Edward Keithline. on trial for adultery, was called in at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. It had been unable to reach a verdict, stand ing ten for conviction and three for acquittal. The merciful members were three young men from Yuma county, who steadily declined during the de- Alterations to argue the matter, but stood pat. The case against Keithline seemed so clear upon his own admis- sion. that the prosecution despaired of being able to convict Mrs. Kozik, Keithline's confederate, soon after ths disagreement in his case.

THE UNEMPLOYMENT.
A Proposition for Bringing It All to
 the Surface.

A movement has been undertaken for She development of the underfiow of the Salt river It has not yet passed the era of discussion, but that has been so favorable that several gentlemen
 have intimated that they are willing
 to become financially interested in the preliminary steps. It is proposed to
 ascertain the depth Of the bedrock ir.
 the river at a point adjacent to the
 Tempe butte. A report upon such an
 investigation would include an esti-
 mate by civil engineers of the cost Of
 constructing a submerged dam which
 would net be more than four feet
 above the bed of the river The top
 would be so constructed that floating
 trees and other debris could pass over
 i. at flood time without damage to the
 structure. The next move after the investigation would be to endeavor to make contracts for supplying the ca nals below that point with water dur ing the dry season. The report and these contracts, together with an accu- rate description Of the project, would be put into prospectus to be issued by a corporation, which would then be prepared to issue bonds. A gentleman who has had a successful experience in putting bonds on the market says he has so much faith in this project that he believes he would have very little trouble in securing the necessary funds to carry it through.
 It is pointed out that it would inter fere with the rights of no one There are many small canals and ditches far ther down the river which derive their supply in the dry time from the under Though they could not be served direct from this proposed dam, | which would shut off their supply, | volume of water far in excess of the ; amount of all their appropriations | could be turned into the river and | there would still be much more than i enough water remaining for the pur- poses of the enterprise

POLICE COMMISSION NOT UNEASY.

Unlikely That impeachment Pro-
ceedings VIII BE Pressed Against
Ii.
Since the action of the Supreme Court
establishing the City Councils right to i'm
peach and remove the fire commissioners,
the question has arisen whether or not the
Iineshwill be drawn and the power extend
ed to the Police Commission to fill the two
remaining offices with administration men,
From what now appears there will be
no effort in this direction until some
cause arises besides political prejudice.
When the Fire Commission was first in
vestigated and the decision later reached
to prefer charges, a committee consisting
of Alderman Charlton, chairman; and AL
dermen Owens. Davis. Guckenhemer, and
Hamilton, we're appointed to look into the
affairs of the police department. This
duty was performed by the committee, but
1t never reported back to Council, though
il is said there were no charges to prefer
Several of the aldermen were spoken to
a bout the decision yesterday and It's APP
plication. There seems to be no DISPOSE
ton to make any move toward ousting the
present commissioners, or at least, those
who are not in exact accord with the
Council. What gave rise to the belief that
action in this regard would be taken
is the fact that the present board was
elected on a platform unfavorable to the
commissions and one of it's pledges to con-
stituents was to have them abolished My
the legislature if possible. While this
failed on account of the commissions hav-
ing a majority favorable to them In the
pledge would extend to a distribution Of
the spoils when that became possible.
4 pacific feeling seems now TO prevail
and the members of Council will probably
not make any attack on the Police Com
mission until some casus belli arises. The
management of the department seems to
be generally satisfactory.
