FRED ". SHARON
Is Fred Shaw L0teIy Held for Passing Counterfeit
 Money.
A Young Man Who Has Been Keeping His Friends Guessing Turns up in a Phoenix Jail.

A rather startling disclosure was made yesterday when Attorney Henry M. Willis applied for a writ of habaas corpus in the case of Fred W. Sharon, a prisoner in the county jail, held to the grand jury on charge Of passing counterfeit money. Sharon is a grand nephew Of ex-Senator Sharon of Ne vada, a nephew of William F. Sharon of Oakland and Virginia CIty, and q relative of Hon. Francis G. Newlands. Sharon was arrested at Tempe on De- cember 26 on complaint O. Oswald Fo- gel, @ baker, to whom he gave dollar in payment for a loaf of bread. FOgel gave him the change and went away. Before he had gone far FOgel diScOv- cred that the dollar was bad and called him back. Sharon returned and told Fogel that he had not noticed the dol lar, but he had received it at Congress in exchange with other silver for a $5 bill. He offered to give Fogel back the change and pay him beside for the bread Fogel refused to give up the dollar and his manner was so threat ening that Sharon started away. An other man attracted by the noise fol- lowed and drew a gun on him, com -<seling him n-co-stOp. This man was an officer. Sharon was taken beiore Jus tice H. M Myers, who upon FogeIs testimony, which Sharon did not deny, held him to the grand jury. But thera was singu.arly no proof or effort to prove that Sharon knew that the dol- lar was bad or that he was actUated by a criminal intent when he offered the money to Fogel. Under these proceed ings the defendant was known as Fred Shaw. That is why Fred Sharon has spent two weeks in jail unrecognized in Phoenix, where he has many acquaint- ances.
 In the application for the writ Attorney Willis alleges that Justice Myers had no jjurjisdic- tion. This allegation is more for the purpose of drawing out de- cision on this point and is not likely essential to this case. There are two

AN UNHELD MEETING
The City Council Transacted No Bus
 mess Last Night.

A meeting Of the city council was calfed for last night, mainly for the purpose of deciding whether it would be necessary to get out a register for tLe voters at the approaching bond election. On account of the inability of Mayor Adams to be present the me5t- ing was adjourned. The necessity of a registration for any sort of a munici- pal election in the territory has never been determined. At the annual city election at Prescott last Tuesday there was no registration and question has Deen already raised as to the legality Of the proceedings. The necessity Of a registration in the case Of the bond election is especially urged on account of the peculiar qualifications of those entitled to vote. The voters must in the first p.acs be taxpayers in the city and they must beside possess the usual qualifications Of voters. Therefore neither the city tax roll nor the last city register would be of any utility at the elecuon. The property qUaNfca- tion is likely to be closely looked after by those opposed to the bond issue For several days Neri Osborn has been boring over the tax roll at the as sessor's office and making Q list of names For what purpose, has not been definitely stated, but it has been given out that he is employed Dy the water company and the natural infer enCe is that the list he is making up is intended to assist chalengers at the election.
 Another thing the council intended to do last night was to come to some conclusion regarding unpaid taxes, eitner declare them delinquent or grant further extension of time to

IMPROVEMENTS AT BENSON.
New Switch Targets Operated By
 Electricity.

Among other improvements which have been recently put into the rail- way yards al Benson are automatic switch targets, operated by electricity, says the Bisbee Orb. There are two targets at each end of the yard. The first is about a mile away from tae sta ton, where if the main crack is ob- structed by anything, whether 3 loco motive, 3 train or a handcar, danger signal appears. At 9 distance Of about half mile is displayed another signal -green-which if displayed indicates that the obstruction is yet upon the main line. As soon as 9 train enters upon the limits between the signs ae the far ends Cf the circuit, the signals turn and remain turned uL-il the train passes eff from the othsr end, at a dis tanCc Of two miles, CT goes upon 9 side track, when the signals disappear. Ap- proaching trains finding the signals displayed, reduce speed and e3ter the yard under full control and ready to stop in an instant

CABLE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Four of the Big Islands Will Seen be
 Connected by Wire.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Gea. Grsely, chief signal officer Of tse army, has made arrangements locking to the early connection Of the four most inn portant islands in ths Philippines, namely, Luzon, Masbate, Cebu and Late. This will require nearly 2c0 miles of deep sea cable. The develop ment of the deep sea industry in the United States enables tEe 'gnaI office to carry out this plan without the long delay and increas5d expense which would have been required had it b5el neaful to consult foreign m2nufactu- reTs fer this purpCsa.
 The cable machinery VII weigh ever TOO tons, and for it's transportation and laying a ship especially fitted up for cable work is necessary. It is eX p5cted that this ship will leave New York about February 1, and proceed to Manila through the Suez canal. The different cables should bc lad and in working order by the end O April. The signal corp has a shcrt cable Cf eight miles new in operation in Manila bay. 4 competent officer Of the S gnal corps, probably Col. James Allen, VII accom- panV the vessel and supervise the lay ing Of the cable.
 The land lines in the Philippines are nearly 2,000 milss in length, and are mainly situated Cn the islands above named. As soon as these lines are united into Cna system through cable connections, the military adminisra ton of the islands will ba conducted with a degree Of efficiency, rapidity and economy that are impossible un der present conditions.

 The sale of property for delinquent taxes will take place next month, and the making up of the list must begin soon so that the declaration of delin- quency cannot be much longer delayed.

WILL VETO THE ORDINANCE Tho
Mayor will veto the ordinance author
izing and empowering the committee
on streets to do certain enumerated
things, etc: and to have performed ell
necessary work, ETC., and TO direct the
Auditor to approve pay rolls that said
committee may deem proper. The
"etc" part is little too indefinite for
an important ordinance, and while the
Mayor has nc desire and no power to
curtail the privileges OF the street COM
mittee, he thinks the power asked for
is in excess of that TO which the tax
payers should yield. The ordinance as
originally drawn up gave all the power
to the chairman of the committee on
streets, but was altered by substituting
"the committee on streets" for chair
man. thus removing the objection OF
the gentleman Offering it i'll the Board
of Alderman.
