JUDGE COX'S SUCCESSOR.
His identity is Still as Much u Mys-
terry Ever.

Rumors were rife today about the city
hall as regards the District judgeship.
Some of the statements were interesting
and some were amusing. One that gained
Wlde circulation was to the effect that the
recent visit of Governor Roosevelt of New
\ Crk to the White House was mainly to
recommend that Mr. H. Randall Webb be
appointed 10 succeed Justice Cox on the
local bench.
1t was maintained by some that the
President has already made up his mind
as to the man he will nominate while
others, VINO claim to know, declare that
the appointment VIII not be announced for
at least a month, and that the President is
DESTROYS of hearing further recommends
tons during the interim. One story is that
at the jme of the retirement of Justice
Cox IT was even then the intention of the
chief executive to name Mr. Duvall and
when the delegations called at the White
House in behalf of Mr.. Carusi and Mr.
Mattingly the President forced them to
admit that Mr.. Duvall would make a good
judge.
A large number of signatures had been
secured this afternoon to the paper that
mas been in circulation for a day or two,
urging the President to make his selection
from Messrs Henry E. Davis, Job Barnard,
TailmadSe A. Lambert and Benjamin F.
Leighton. Representatives of the attor-
neys VINO have signed this paper expected
TO visit the White House late this after
noon 10 arrange Tor a tlme when 1t NAV be
presented to the President by a properly
designated committee.
Included among the rumors was one that
the friends of Mr.. Carusi intend making
a final effort in his behalf, at once by hay-
ing unusually strong influence urge his
appointment. Should it then appear that
Mr.. Carusi is out of the race, the alleged
program arranged by his friends provides
for the formal withdrawal of his candi-
dacy.
Summing up the situation as it exists
this afternoon, on a basis of fact, no one
at the city halls or in the vicinity thereof.
has any direct knowledge of the man who
Will succeed Justice Cox. Neither is il
known when the appointment is to be
made. The only opinion that is general is
that if a local man is selected he will be
named from Messrs. Duvall, Davis, Lam
pert, and possibly Barnard and Leighton.

THE MAID UF HONOR.
Miss Laura Peck Chosen to Represent
 Yuma at Phoenix.

The voting contest fer the maid of honor to the Phoenix Carnival closed Tuesday evening. There was a lull in the voting Tuesday until about five o'clock in the even ing at which time the balloting be- gan in earnest. The polling places were crowded with people who were diligently booming tLeir favorite candidate, and to one not acquaiut- ed with the situation it would have appeared as a county election.
 Only two candidates were being voted for, Miss Amelia Molina and Miss Laura Peek, Both are beauti- ful and popular young ladies and their various admirers were not stinted in their votes.
 Some dispute arose over the counting of the votes but after the tangIe was straightend out it was found that 1905 votes had been cast, Miss Peck receiving of that number 2994, Miss Molina 285O, there being 6l scattering giving Miss Peck a majority of 83.
 By the vote as counted Miss Peck will represent Yuma at the carnival. The successful candidate is a neice of Mrs. F. L. Ewing and has resid- ed in Yuma for little more than two years. She is a native of New York and 8 lady of captivating manners and will add honor to Yuma at the great Carnival
 The committee here has received a communication from Secretary Hoffman in which he says the maid af horror will dress for the morning parade Dec. 4, in @ pale pink or gandie, no figured goods, with hat of white, trimmed with flowers. The costume for the grand ball Friday night, Dec. 8, will be made up of white organdle, made either decoIlette or high neck to suit the wearer the fowears to be worn will be decided upon when all the maids of honor are in Phoenix. No hats are to be worn at the ball. This costume can be made of any ma terial, provided it is of the same shade as organdie.

The San Francisco Examiner O. November I2 says: Wellington C.
 Llewellyn, alias Charles Gardner, g volunteer private in the Thirty-fourth infantry, stationed at Fort Logan Colo, who killed two policemen in Denver, August 12th last, is said to be in this city. A reward of $500 has been offered for his capture by the Denver authorities. The police in this city were told by soldier, who name they refuse to give, that LleweIlyn had twice been seen on Market street Detectives Crockett and Anthony have been detailed on the case.
 Tuesday evening while Apolinary Bienkowski was unloading some mer- chandise from his wagon at the freight depot his team took French leave and galloped madly down the boulevard. Charley could not regain the lines so he hopped blithely from the careening vehicle. The team veered to the west side of Main street and ripped off a few panels of the picket fence in front of the residence of $. Redondo. They there became detached from the wagon and continued their mad career into the city. Ii it had not been for the pluck and presence of mind of Fred Meeden the careering horses would have done some damage to life and property. As the team was headed for group of women and children Fred made made a dash and caught the team No special damage was done.
 L. A. Hicks, civil engineer former Iy of Yuma, but now resident of Bakersfield, talked some very good common sense at the recent Storage of-Water Congress held in San Fran CISCO says the l.. A. Times. NIT. HICKS discussed the question from an engi- neer's standpoint altogether, and said, in the course of his remarks: "It is my opinion that the cost of storing water in Central and Southern Cali fornia would not be less than $I0 per acre-foot stored. It will be necessary to store four acre-feet of water for every additional acre that is added to our domain. Hence the cost would very nearly $40 per acre-foOt, and the question is whether we care to open the door 10 unlimited bond issues to undertake what from pri- yate standpoint would be deemed wholly unprOhtable."

A FIOurishiDg Order.

Tucson is headquarters for a secret and benevolent association peculiar to Arizona. lt-is the Spanish-American Alliance, the membership mainly com prising persons of Mexican percentage or birth, though there is no bar against applicants unable to speak the Spanish language. Of the fifteen subordinate lodges, only one, that at Hedges, Cal, IS located outside the borders of Ari- zona. The total membership is 500, considered a remarkable showing, for the alliance is only five years old. Ad- ditionaI lodges are to be established in Texas, New Mexico and Sonora. Mem hership dues are only 90 cents month, from this being paid death benefits of $500. A curious feature is the pay ment of a $200 benefit on the death of a members wife.
 Yuma has a Hourishing lodge of thirty members the officers of which are Robert Tapia, president; A. L FIgueroa, vice president; J. L. Re dondo, secretary; 3. Figueroa, treas urer, D. Sanchez, collector; \. Balsz, U.; l.. Sortiilon, lst trustee; l.. Ortiz; 2nd trustee; Juan Esqner, 3rd trustee
