THAT ST. LOUIS BOY
He Becomes More and More an I'm
 possible Enigma.

The case of George St. Louis, the -year-old boy charged with stealing a horse. was resumed in Jus tice Burnstts court yesterday morning. It was almost immediately continued until November l, although in the af- ternoun there was sort of extra judic- ial proceeding in the matter. Rev. Dr. McAfee, was appointed to look after the boy, sort of guardian ad litem. The boy will be detained in town a couple of days awaiting some light on the case. and he will then be allowed to return to his parents at Tombstone.
 Not withstanding 1t was pretty wei. estabishe on Wednesday afternoon that the raffie, at which he said he had won d horse. had never been held, MT. McAfee yesterday discovered clue which gives slight color to young St. Louis story of that hazardous event MT. McAfee learned that two men named Sullivan and Murray. were liv- ing at Judge Morris. Ninth avenue and Washington street, last fall about the time St. Louis said he won the horse. Sullivan owned d horse and advertised it for sale in The Republi- can. Sullivan was not d sick man, as the boy said the owner of the horse was. but Murray was very much of an invalid. Some time after a man callsd at Judge Morris to buy it. and was in formed by Sullivan that it had been "oti r~v-i@e et cf st5 'rTs iS a possibility that he meant II had been rallied off. Judge Morris remembered that the animal was a bay. which is the color of the horse St. Louis said he won, and which also is the color of the horse stolen from the Indian.
 Late in the afternoon the Indian horse was brought to court That was the extra judicial proceeding. MT. Me Afee brought young St Louis. Pack wood. who said he had bought the horse from St. Louis, said that that was the animal. The boy looked it over and said it was not the horse he used to own. He knew that by its feet His horse's feet were bread and no good.
 Figueroa. one of the witnesses. the day before appeared on the scene and said that was the horse Packwocd bought from the boy. The hoy laid asi1e his habitual politeness long enough to say. You're a liar"
 The catalogue of young St. Louis crines is iengthening. A gentleman who used to live near the St. Louis | family. yesterday identified him as 2 boy who had stolen a bicycle from hin and had poisoned a wildcat belonging i to him He knew to a certainty tha he had killed the wildcat. but when th' | boy came around the next day to con
 dole with him, his sympathy seemed s' deep and genuine that the gentleman | was moved to forgiveness.

M &. P. & s. R. v. WASHOUT
Another 140 Feet of Roadbed De
 stroyed at the Gila Bridge.

The M. & P. & s. R. V. railroad :s again in the swim This statement is not metaphorical, but actually descrip- tive The Gila river is either possessed of great personal animosity toward Superintendent B. F. Porter, or it is determined to make Kyrene the largest seaport town in Arizona with the pos sible exception of Yuma The river is some distance from Kyrene at the pres ent time, but it may eat it's way up there any day.
 The bridge gang engaged in repairing the late washout had harGiy packed its tools up before another rise in the stream began, and Wednesday night in less than an hour the river raised eight feet making the largest body of water that has passed down the channel since the notable flood of 1891.
 The train that left here Wednesday night was met just south of the river by an engine stationed on the other side during the day, for the river had been showing its teeth all day and Mir. Porter was determined not to be caught mapping. When the Phoenix engine returned the water wus rapidly eating into the railroad grade. and probably in less than an hour after it passed 1fe feet of track was suspended in the air.
 
 eaten by the Gila in the last mouthfu', and is an extension of the same wash out. Rather the scene of the last wash out was converted into trestle work, and this is another 140 feet joining it. which will also have to be trestled. ami which work Mir. Porter estimates can be done in about five days with the crew and machinery all ready for ac- tion. The bridge gang began driving piles again yesterday afternoon. The Gila river is certainly a remark able stream and it's nerve commands respect. When the bridge was built :he stream ran straight east and west. and q long trestle was put up for its accommodation. Gradually it left the south bank and ate into the north bank above the bridge. This it has done for years, with every high water season, and eventually 1t left the main part of the bridge over dry land. mak- ing occasional washouts on the north bank and making an extension of the trestle work necessary. Its plan is to curve into the bank, and running down. strike the railroad grace, then follow it back into the river bed. Eventually the grade gives way as it did a month ago. This time the operation was re- peated. only the instead of eating into the grade it ate clean throNgh it. then. | turning back upon itself to some ex- tent. it follows the channel made be- fore. Therefore, parallel with the track, on the west side of it and some distance from it, runs the dry land
 and there is just little angular poin of dry land on the west side, reaching out to the end of the old bridge, just | close enough to allow of the transfer
 of mail and passengers. If the water should stay up long enough to cut of
 this point the transfer would be inn
 possible as though the bridge were gone. But little fear of that is enter
 tained. the reports from there yes l terday were that the water was going down.

Buffalo. N. Y. Sept. 12.-Six days have elapsed since the president was shot. and this afternoon he complained somewhat of fatigue. That was the only disquieting word which cane from the sick room during the day. The president had had a restful night, and the beef juice which the doc tors gave him last night had been rel ished so keznly, that this morning he was given solid food for the first time. He was then bathed and enjoyed d bowl of chicken broth, toast and ccf- fee. He felt so good after this some what substantial meal that he asked for mild cigar.

G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
The Ceremonies Yesterday and Last
 Night.

Cleveland. O., Sept. 12.-This was an other busy day for the Grand Army veterans. While the principal center Of attraction was the chamber of com merce auditorium, where the presiden- tial and official reception was held, there was scarcely a hall or auditorium in the down town district that was not the meeting place for some various de- partment or branch of the veterans or ganiZation.
 In the First Methodist church the Woman's Relief Corps met at nine o'clock this morning in nineteenth an- nual convention. Simultaneously the Ladies of the G. A R. met in Associa- ton hall.

MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.

Cleveland O., Sept. 12.-What must be nearly the last of the national coi- ventions of the Mexican war veterans began in Cleveland today. There are not many more than 5000 of the veter- ans left, and they are passing away at the rate of 1000 per year. Hardly three score were present when the meeting was called to order in the Lincoln ho- tel by General E. H. Hobson of Ken lucky. The association has no business to transact except to fix the time and place of the next meeting, and the con vention is entirely in the nature of q reunion.

BONDS COME SLOWLY.
Medger Public Response to
 the Governments Offer
A Feeling That Secretary Gage May Close His Bids at the End of This Month-Business Too Slow to Be Kept Up.

New York. Sept. 12.-The compara- tvely meager offerings of Unitel States bonds to the government for re- demption justify some of the bond deal- CTS in predicting that Secretary Gage will close his bids to the public after September 30. Since August 23, when Mir. Gage gave the New York subtreas- ury power to purchase government bonds direct. instead of having the bids forwarded to Washington. it has been expected that the offerings here would increase materially. This has not been the case, however.
 The purchase of bonds began on April g. They included the 3 per cents of 190S-1S. the per cents of 1907. and the per cents of 1904 Since April , the total amount paid by the govern ment for these three classes of bonds is s21. 1922. Of this amount the sub treasury in New York has paid more than S16.D00, 900, or about hrse-fourths of the total.
 Secretary Gage, it is believed. is dis appointed at the poor exhibit. He came into the market as d purchaser and on u DdSlS cleaTly CnucrStOOd Dy every body. He did not it was said today, care whether the bonds were purchased or not as the day of final redemption of two classes of the bonds was, compara- lively speaking, not far distant. When the bonds were first offered they wer.. presented in patches worth S, ,000, ,000 or so- They fell off rapidly, however, and the present small daily presenta- tions scarcely attract notice. Many of them come through the banks from dis tant holders who. finding more profit able investment for their money, nat urally desire to part with their bonds
 The price of these government secur- ities is adjusted from day to day so as to realize on the investment an annual interest of 1.726 per cent. So many good and safe investments are within reach. however. that this investment yield from government bonds is natur- ally regarded as significant.
 As an instance of the small business in bonds at the subtreasury this week l it may be stated that from August 3i to September 3, inclusive. only $355 53l was paid out for them. and it is prob able that little more than this sum ha' l been paid out altogether. including tho treasury departments direct purchase:
 at Washington. The amount of bond:
 outstanding on September l was S9S2,.
 GAO, GOO, of which S9S. .240 were the
 per cents of 1908; s254.111 .45O of the
 per cents of 1907 and S2l, ,32S 05O of the | per cents of 1904.

LOOKING FOR A LINK
To Connect Emma Goldman With
 Czolgosz

Buffalo, \. Y. Sept. 12.-The district attorney announced publicly this after noon that he had no evidenc= against Emma Goldman, and that unless some turned up no requisition upon the state Of Illinois would be made for her. This does not mean that the bottom has dropped out of the conspiracy theory. It simply means that no evidsnce has. as yet, been secured to connect her with the crime. If she is released she will be kept under the closest serveil- ance, and it will be easy for the au- thorities to place their hands upon her if she is wanted later.
 There is hope here. however, that some way will be found to hold lrer until the investigations now in progress by the secret service in al, the princi- pal cities where anarchist organiza- tons exist. are completed. She was ar rested wholly upon the responsibility of the Chicago police, under the general order sent out by Superintendent Bull. to apprehend all persons who might have knowledge of the assassination
 While no evidence has been found against the Goldman woman, the of ncia!s are satisfied that Czolgosz crossed her path, and the secret service men will trace Csolgosz's whereabouts back. step by step. One of the things which is desired is a complete report

BLINDED BY PREJUDICE
A Vacancy in the Court of Inquiry That It Will Take the Navy De- pertinent Time to Fill It Is Probable That DO Other Session Will Be Held Until Early Next Week.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The board of inquiry which is to investigate the con- troversial points in connection with Admiral Schley's conduct during the Spanish-American war assembled at the navy department today. There are four points to be considered and de- cided upon by the court, as follows: First, the alleged delay off Cienfuegos, Cuba; second. the alleged slow progress toward Santiago de Cuba from Glen fuegos; third, the retrograde move ments on the 26th and 27th of May: fourth, the battle of Santiago and the destruction of Cervera's fleet.
 The court convened behind closed doors. with Judge Advocate Lemley presiding. The three members of the board appointed to conduct the inquiry, and all of whom were in their chairs when the judge advocate rapped for or der, were Admiral Dewey, Rear Admir- al Howison and Rear Admiral Benham. Rear Admiral Schley, the central figure in the investigation, was also present. accompanied by his counsel, Judge Jere Wilson of this city, former Representa- tive Raynor of Baltimore and Captain James Parker of New Jersey.
 The court convened at one o'clock
 Half an hour later Admiral Schley arose and said that with extreme re- gret he was obliged to challenge Ad-
 miral Howison as a member or the Court. The court took an informal ad-
 journment at 2:3O to permit Admiral Howison to prepare his statement to Admiral Schley's charges made by his attorneys immediately after the ap- pointment of Rear Admiral Howison, questioning his qualification. It WIS
 charged that early in the. Sampson Schley controversy Admiral Howison. in an interview printed Tn a Boston newspaper, had criticised the conduct Of Admiral Schley and had given Ad- miral Sampson full credit for the de-
 struction of Cervera's fleet. This inter view has since been disavowed only in part by Admiral Sampson.
 Three hours from the time of CO., vening the court it was announced that Rear Admiral Howison was disquali- | fled from serving as a member of the court and he was excused from further | duty. This brought the proceedings to
 an abrupt termination and caused a | temporary adjournment or the court in
 order to permit the navy department to
 designate an officer to succeed Admiral Howison- No further session is prob
 able until the early part of next week.
