THEY LIKE PHOENIX
Notable Visitors Who Spent Tester
 day in This Valley.

About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon q special train came in from Tucson. bearing MT. C. C. Sroufe. the newly appointed superintendent of the Ari- zoIia and New Mexico division of the Southern Pacific rialroad, MT. B. A. Worthington, his predecessor, who was but recently appointed to the superin- tendency of the coast division of the Southern Pacific, Mrs. Sroufe and Mrs. Warrington, Miss Worthington and Miss Gwynne Worthington. and Miss Laura Terry and Miss Maggie Breen, both of Sacramento. The Misses Terry and Breen are friends of Mir Worth inSton and family. and Miss Breen is assistant librarian of the California state library.
 Mir. Worthington was to shortly leave for his new position in California, and he desired to acquaint himself with tEe Salt River valley before his departure. as he has been too busy to visit Pho,- nix during his incumbency in the office of superintendent at Tucson. Mr. Sroufe. though an occasional visitor to Phoenix, came here yesterday for the first time superintendent. and for that reason the visit was of import ance. though it was only social visit.
 The party was met at the depot by Superintendent B. F. Porter and Gen eral Agent M. O. Bicknelr of the M. 6, F., with carriages, and the afternoon was spent in viewing so far as possible the interesting places in the valley. The party was first driven 10 the capitol building. where q short call was paid Governor Murphy, after which the drive was made to the Indian schoci. going through the streets and avenues in the northern and western part of town.
 At the Indian school they were cor dially received and shown through the various departments, including all the larger buildings. The visitors all ex- pressed themselves as agreeably sur prised at the magnitude of the work carried on, as well as the value and wonders of it's accomplishment.
 Their train left for Maricopa at 6:3p. and at Maricopa the private car was attached to the west bound passenger and is now speeding away to Califoc- mia.
 MT. Worthington and friends, who visited the city for the first time. were more than pleased with Phoenix and surprised at its size and metropolitan methods.

THE IMMEDIATE ONE
The Chart Admitted to be Probably Incorrect Inasmuch as It Was the Product of Compromise-A Great Deal of Time Taken by Witnesses Telling What They Had Forgotten.

Washington, Oct. S.-There were two principal witnesses before the Schley court today, Commander Vain wright and Lieutenant M. L. Bristol I 5,The latter had not concluded when an Adjournment was taken. There were Several controversies between the Icounsel oyer questions asked Bristol by 5Mr. Raynor. concerning which the wit tness made a showing of the relative
 positions of the vessels in the battle.
 Wainwright's testimony dealt largely Ewith chart ma king. He was the senior
 member of the committee of the board
 of navigation which prepared the of { ficial chart showing the positions of tthe American vessels. He said he did
 mot consider the chart as to the posi- tions accurate. but was made as a 'compromise of the views of the mem
 bers of the board.
 Commander Wainwright disagreed with Commander Hodgson as to the distance of the Brooklyn from the Spanish ships at the beginning of the fight. saying it was about $500 yards,
 q difference of 20OO yards. Asked to explain the wide difference in the es- inmates, he said Hodgson did not tal>-
 an accurate observation; that a stad-
 imeter is inaccurate at four thousand
 yards.
 Commander Hodgson, Captain Folger and Lieutenant Dyson made ad- cifons to their testimony. by son continued his testimony in re-
 gard to the coal supply of Schley's
 squadron on his arrival at Santiago. After Bristol, Grant and Potts were called These were the watch officers
 in the various vessels during the bat
 tie. Wainwright commanded the
 yacht, Gloucester, which played such an important part in the campaign In The battle of July-3 this vessel at rtacked the torpedo boats fearlessly and 'aided in their destruction
 Dyson was questioned concerning 'the steaming condition of the Brook lyn on July 3. He said the Oregon got up speed equal to the Brooklyn, not |withstanding that the Brooklyn's rec |ord on her trial trip was twentyone
 knots, and the Oregon's but seventeen.

THE NATIONAL GAME
Movement to Wake Up Some Enthus-
 iasm in Phoenix.

There was a whole housefull of base ball players at the store of Mansfield 6 Rhodes, Monday evening, called out by the announcement that a reorgani~ zation of the PhoeniX baseball team would be effected. The only thing that was done, though, was to elect Mark Long captain of the team in place Of Hi Bra wiley, who resigned. as he has been holding the position under pro- test for some time.
 The reason no further action was taken was because the right people were not present. There were lots of ball players, and good ones, but be- fore definite action is taken the boys want to get some business men inter- ested and make them officers of the organization. Baseball can be made d drawing card here this winter if the people of the town will take hold of it. The organization of a territorial league will be big help to every town that comes in. and the maintenance of some strong teams here will no doubt se- cure the wintering of many profes- sional payers, and possibly. some whole teams in this valley. They will not only give Arizona wide advertise ment but will. with the good games these visitors will help in presenting. bring gate receipts that will repay all expense. and the fun will come for nothing. Another meeting will be an nounced for the last of the week. Meantime each individual fan is committee of one to interest the right pe ople. and the right people are those who want to do anything and every thing to help the town as well as en- courage sports.

FOUR BIG WATER WHEELS
Machinery Arriving for the New
 Electric Power Plant

The Phoenix Light & Fuel company is making very little display just now. but it is doing business that speaks for itself. Somewhat has been said of the big plant 1t is installing for the generating of electric power. but a lot more is being done than is being talked about.
 Six carloads of machinery are now in the santa Fe yards. and Dan Goodin is preparing to haul it to the power stations at the Arizona Falls and at the head of the Cross-cut canal. These six carloads of machinery include simply the two big turbine water wheels for each station and the hy Graulic machinery that goes with them. The machinery is so much more massive than most people expected, that when it was viewed by the men who had bids in for the hauling, two passed the job up. MT. Goodin was forced to get a wagon made over to accommodate the larger pieces.
 MT. T. G. Hines of Prescott, who has the contract for the erection of the buildings. is here with two carloads of machinery and tools. The buildings will be made of concrete ard stone with steel roofs and absolutely fire proof. Excavation for tine foundation Is cOfll llpleIeu- anu some lQtd DI lllt buildings may be gained when it is stated that the excavations are thirty two feet deep. or five feet below water level. It is expected that the upper station. which will be erected first, will be completed in sixty days. By the time that is done it is expected that the wires will be up between the power station and the city. The work of setting the polies is now going on.
 The design and plans for the sub sta ton in Phoenix, which will be ad- jacent to the gas and city light plant. were made in New York. and are now here. Contracts for th' construction of this building and plant will be let in a short time.
 In tire construction cf the power plants. owing to the size of the ma chinery. the foundation will first De put in. then the machinery will be put in place and the building will be con structed around the machinery.

 The members of Engine Company No. l petitioned the council to rein state Henry Bloomhorst as driver of the fire engine. The petition was signed by the officers and most of the members of the company. MT. Sanders moved the petition be filed. No second. MT. McNen moved that the petition be granted as. he said, this matter ought to be definitely settled. Mir. Sanders said it was settled. MT. McNeil re- ferred to the fact that two changes had been made in the department when two members of the council were absent. He wondered why the two remaining councilmen waited til he was out of town. He felt that the council had acted wrong. He was hot. So was MT. Sanders, and both of them grew acrimonious, but remained orderly.
 MT. Fromm then got up and pro- tested against the previous remarks of MT. Sanders regarding the members of the company, including the chief. get ting drunk and making incendiary talks. MT. Sanders explained that Mir. FTomm understood him, and then all was serene again.
 Finally Shott seconded Sanders mo- tion to file. Shott and Sanders voted for it and McNeil and the mayor voted no. Dunlap passed, and the motion vas lost. Mir. McNeu renewed his mo- ton and Mir. Dunlap seconded it. The vote stood: Noes-Shott, McNeil. san ders, Mayor; Pass-Dunlap. Petition rejected.
 Chief Fromm then asked if the city intended to put on an extra man. who is greatly needed. The man now serv- in hoC and half the time the extra man now employed is not there.
 MT. Sanders thought they could get along for a time.
 That matter settled, MT. F'romm said there was growing feeling of insub- ordination in the department, and he wanted to know whether he was the head of the department or not. He wanted to know whether the council was satisfied with his work. and if so, why the insubordination. He said it looked like the boys were getting or ders somewhere e-se. He knew what the ordinances call for, but he was 10th to enforce them until he had an expression from the council. The talk resulted in the council telling him to go ahead and run the business, and if trouble comes, report to the council.
 City Attorney Bullard presented an ordinance regulating the purchase of secondhand goods by dealers and pro- viding for the keeping of record of same. The ordinance passed unani- mously.

Washington, Oct. S-Not since the John Hays Hammond, the American engineer implicated in the Janison raid in the Transvaal. has the state depart ment put forth such energetic efforts to save a human life as it is now doing in behalf of Miss Stone. the American missionary, who was captured by Bull garian bandits. A sum of money has been forwarded by cable to Spencer Eddy, United States secretary of tho legation at Constantinople. who has shown remarkable energy and ability in unearthing the ramificatlons of the plot which resulted in the Kidnapping oc Miss Stone.
 There is little doubt that the Turkish government has done all that could be expected to run down the bandits. What is now to be done is to secure similar action on the part of the Bull garian government, and to that end influences more potent with the Slav races than the United States govern ment are now at work. Should the measure fail, the the ransom must be paid. That is why Eddy has been placed in possession of the means.
 The state department officials depre- cate most earnestly the newspaper dis cussion of the measures it is taking ia behalf of Miss Stone, claiming that if is being greatly embarrassed in irs efforts by such publicat tions. Conse- quently officials refuse to give any in formation beyond the statement that they have not been informed that all extension of one month has been grant ed by the brigands-
