A PUBLIC LIBRARY.
A Meeting for the Development of tht
 Enterprise Yesterday.

Commendable progress is being made by the public spirited men and women of this city who are trying to estab- fish public library. The citizens are becoming aroused to the needs of the city in this direction, and it now ap- pears likely that in a short time the li- bInry will be an assured fact. The first of a series of library afternoons was given yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Walter Bennett, 444 North First avenue, which was at tended by many representative men and women. A fee was charged, and the receipts amounted to nearly $50. There was recitation by Miss Randall of this city, and music by a quartette composed of Mrs. Miller, Miss Plank Mrs. Jessop and Miss Hauxhurst
 Miss Mary Franklin, in response to a request by the members of the club, read very scholarly and interesting paper outlining the purposes for which the library club was formed and suggesting the means to be employed in building up the library with which it is intended that it's usefulness shall be crowned The paper will be pub lished in full in a later issue of The Republican.

LESS THAN SIX MONTHS.
Work on the Extension of the Gila
 Valley Road Begins. March IA.

Geronimo, Ariz., March 12.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- Tuesday night settled the matter of the road going to Globe so far as the right of way over the San Carlos In dian reservation was concerned, my wire to The Republican indicating the payment of $S,000 as agreed upon under the treaty with the Apaches a month ago at San Carlos then reported to this paper ahead of all others. President Garland signed check on the night mentioned for the amount following the advlce given him of the approval by the department and Presi- dent Mckinley. This was an easier method than having a guard to protect the S8,000 which Mr Garland orig = nal1y intended to deliver in brand new silver dollars at the agency. A pre- vious letter told all that possibly could be said as to the terminal in Globe MT. Garland could not say. when I asked him at this place, what the cost of building stock yards southeast of town, the depots in the town and yards there, the 250 foot stretch of break water and bridge over Pinal creek would be in dollars and cents A mild estimate of what is necessary to place these conditions in shape for service for regular business could not be less than $20000. Two concessions were particularly gratifying to the citizens of Globe and these were the erection of freight and passenger depots in the heart of the town and the constitution of breakwater south of the business section and again at the crossing of Final creek. Years past the citizens have vainly attempted to keep the ris- ing waters of the creek from wip:ng out valuable improved property.
 MT. Garland looks upon Globe and the existing conditions as relates to bullion shipments as exceptionally fine. He realizes that cattle will find egress over the line. The road will have reason to anticipate development of other mining camps aside from those associated with the two smelters. The supplies to camps, including ma chinery that must come to new camps, is beyond present calculations. An increased population and building inn provements and greater volume of merchantable goods going into Globe will be big items. Even the Payson country, 100 miles north, will be feeder in respect to concentrates and perhaps high grade ore. and there will be the usual freight to go north to that section.
 The necessary ties and lumber will be coming in early next week, likewise rails and other equipment, the ties and lumber from Texas under contract closed last month.
 MT. Garland assured me that fully 500 men would be at work. during April, the initiative being taken next week. He added that stations would be established at Bob McIntosh's, or

HON. FRED (. HUGHES GHOST
Rises Up Again Before the Ter
 rItOry of Arizona
The Arizona Pioneers HfstOriCa Society Brings Suit Against Aud Mer Vickers to Recover S3 900 Paid to It's First President.

The Arizona Pioneers Historical so- eiety is making an effort to recover again, under act 53 of the last legisla- ture, for the reorganization of the so- eiety of Arizona Pioneers, $S,0OO car ried in the act for the use of the so- ciety. This amount has been once paid, but it was lost somewhere in the heap of iniquities built up by Fred C. Hughes, the first president of the society. Soon after the act became eff fectfve Hughes presented a requisi- tion for S10O0, apparently properly signed by himself as president and W. c. Davis, M G. Samaniego and Sabino Otero of Pima county, as members of the board of directors of the society. The voucher was honored and it is said that a part of it, perhaps $500, was expended in fitting up quarters for the reorganized society. Another reIuisi- tfon for the same amount was pre- sented by Hughes and ne received the money The third requ:sition. absorb ing the rest of the appropriation, was yresented last August. A mo2th later what many had suspected was known to be a fact. Hughes was a villain and he shortly became fugitive from Justice The funds of the society had been stolen along with great deal Of the money of Pima county. The directors of the society had become aware of the misappropriation of it's funds before Hughes departure. They hesitated to procure his arrest for forgery and embezzlement. but were all the. time threatening him until they scared him out of the country.
 The society did not recover from it's shock until January 15 of this year, when 1t reorganized by electing s. H. Drachman president, Joseph Perry, secretary, and Charles A. Shibell. w. A. Felix, Samuel Hughes and M. C.. Samanfego, directors. A week later the president and board made a de- mand upon Auditor Vickers for s3,000 and the demand was refused. Ten days ago complaint entitled s. H. Drachman, w. A. Felix, Samuel Hughes, Charles A. Shibell and M. G.. Samaniego, president and directors of

the Arizona Pioneers Historical so- ciety, vs. G. W. Vickers, auditor of the territory of Arizona, was filed in the district clerks office here Judge w. H. Barnes on behalf of the plain tiffs prays for mandatory writ di- recting the auditor to pay to the so- ciety S3,000 authorized under the act. Awaiting the arrival of Judge Barnes, nothing was done with the complaint until yesterday. The peti- tion recites that much of what is hereinbefore set forth as relates to the affairs of the society since January 21. It sets up the legislative act section by section, defining the reorganization of the society, the appropriation for its maintenance, and the authorization of the auditor to issue warrants upon properly signed acquisitions. Service was waived by Auditor Vickers yester- day and late in the afternoon the at orney-general appeared for him and filed an answer in which in the first place the complaint is demurred to on the ground CQdL the IdcCS set IOTIQ are insufficient to constitute an action.
 The answer further alleges that the complaint contains the truth, the ex- act truth, but not the whole truth, in that it neglects to mention the ex- istence of person named Fred C.. Hughes, concerning which the answer then proceeds to enlighten the world. It states also that act 5 did not specifically authorize the present board and directors of the society to collect and disburse the money which had been already collected and disbursed. The answer then describes the for gery and peculations of Hughes, which it says, were open and notorious; they were well known to the society and especially to the petitioners. The an swer closes with a prayer that the pc tition be dismissed. No time has been set for the hearing.

t1onS on the occasion which added
such large body Of persons to full

been IN preparation for q considerable
time and a number of converts were
included in the class. There were about

Columbia hall and marched in process
sion to the church. AS the body passed

In full canonicals, followed by the as
sistant priests, Joined the procession

SENATOR STEVENS VOICE.
1t Is Heard on Current Topics Mt St.
PauPs Church.

Senator Hiram F. Stevens delivered
an address last evening at St. PauPs
church that was the principal feature
of q special patriotic service that was
held
largely of national airs. The usual
sermon was omitted and Senator Stew
ems spoke IF the topic that was upper
most in the minds of everybody pres
ent. HIS address was largely in the
form of a review Of the past, but he
did dip far enough into the future to
say that tn. question Of the extension
of empire would be met only when
there was occasion to meet it.
He reviewed the history Of the church
and said that it was particularly ap-
propriate that st. Paul's should hold
services dedicated to the cause of pat
riotism. The very ground upon which
the church stood was donated by an
officer Of the regular army, Capt. N.
]. T. Dana, at one time stationed at
Fort Smelling. During the Civil war
the church was the largest parish in
the state ana many Of it's members
were prominent in the federal army.
Capt. Acker. a notably brave officer,
was a comm unicant Of st. Paul'S, and
there were many others. Coming down
to the issue that is being fought out
now he compared the races that ara
involved.
''It is very fitting that the two races
| that began the colonization Of this con-
tinent," said Senator Stevens, Should
settle the question of supremacy. The
descendants Of the men who followed
Cortez into the new country and the
descendants Of those other men who
made the landing at Plymouth Rock
are met on the field of battle. The race
question of Europe will find a solvent
in America F" Going into the probable
results of the war, Senator Stevens
touched lightly ON the imperialistic
tendency of the government. He init
mated that he did not agree with
some Of the leaders Of his party, but
spoke carefully Of the question.
when Imperialism becomes living
issue we will meet it, and meet it as
Americans" he said.
The musical feature Of the service
was the singing in solo of 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" by Mr.. Collins, the
congregation joining In the refrain. The
congregation also sang America"
