ASSISTANT U. S. ATTORNEY
Announced That He Will Be J. H.
 Campbell of Tucson.

It has been given out that United States District Attorney Frederick $. Nave. contrary to custom. win not be given the privilege of selecting his as sistant. The assistant has always been appointed from the department of justice. but until now fine appoint ment has always been made upon nom ination by the United States attorney.
 When MT. Nave was appointed it was announced that he had selected John Wright, of Tucson. as his assistant. That announcement gave general sat isfaction throughout the territory, for il was well known that Mr. Wright was very energetic attorney. and was in every way regarded as n competent gentleman for the place fer which he had been selected.
 Within the last day or two word has come that the department of jus tice had selected J. II. Campbell, of Tucson. as the assistant of Mr. Nave. MT. Campbell is well known in omcsal circles throughout the west and south west. He was connected with the de- pRrtment of justice for exactly four- teen years. During the most of that time he was a special examiner, and in that capacity made frequent visits to Phoenix and the other county seats of Arizona. In the latter part Of his service he had charge of the pardors. succeeding $. F. Fasebysmith. He quit the service a little more than year ago on account of the failing health of his wife, for whom change of climate had been ordered. He went to Albuquerque. and was for a time chief deputy under United States Marshal Foraker. After resigning that position he went to Tucson and as sociatei himself with Roscoe Dale in the practice of laW.
 Hr. Campbell came to be regarded as one Of the most efficient servants oi the department, and il is said, was per haps the most scrutinizing of all the examiners. though he is not charged with ever having been unfair.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER
 ST. LOUIS MILLIONAIRE
Found With Head Crushed and Barely
 Breathing in Bath House.

St. Louis, Jan. 23.-A. Dan Cooper. several times a millionaire, and one of the best known business men in St. Louis. was found early this morning. dying, on q cct in the Visita Turkish bath house. his head crushed in by q Llow from heavy hammer. He eX- pired without giving utterance 70 any ord that might shed light on the identity of his slayers.
 The police find themselves confronted V th the most complete mystery they ever had to deal with.
 A negro attendant, long known as faithful servant of Cooper. and his con stant companion, except for a lew brief minutes at the time he was struck down, is the only person the detectives have from whom to extract a story Of what passed behind the walls of the big bathing resort. and ne tells tale of pretty women and well dressed men. of a ragged messenger boy and a myS- terious note, Of ribald jest ana noisy peIriment. all to the accompaniment of much liqucr.
 Then the place lapsed back to the si- lence of the dead of night. and he came upon his master as he was breathing his last. The Nisita bath house was the property or the millionaire, ana inc frequenters of the place assert that he was his own best customer, and that most of those who came there did so to join him in his peculiar form of pleasure.
 Cooper lived at 47l3 Washington Boulevard. and he left there at s o'clock Wednesday evening. his wife and son understanding that he was Ro- ing to the Nisitg, though he told them nothing of his plans for the night. From the moment he closed the house door on himself the police have Eoth- ing to show his movement. except the word of the negro servant. William S. TrotheT.

DEPUTY AND BAILIFF
The Cases of Messrs. L. B. Street and
 Phelps A. Gilmore.

In The Republicans story from Washington yesterday morning Of the v;ndication 0f Judge Street it was men toned that Attorney General EroX. in his report to the president on the case recommended the resignation of L. E. Street. the judges son. as deputy clerk Of the district court, and that of his phew as bailif of the court. That recommendation was based on the cir constance that one of the charges ;.s.aiast the judge was that, in violation of the revised statutes. he had appoint d relatives within the third degree of .cuBsanguinity or affinity to positions in his court There was no complaint that their duties had not been properly per formed. There was no purpose to strike at Lawrence B. Street or Phelps Gil more. but at Judge Street through them.
 Both MT. Street and Mir. Gilmore will reign on the return of Judge Street in accordance with the recommendation.
 No doubt if the matter were laid be- fore the department both would be per ulitted to retain their places. Tor the department has not been correctly in formed Cf the status of either CT them. put it is not expected that Judge Street will make such an explanation, pre- ferring to avoid even the appearance qf a violation of the Jaw.
 The United States statute on this subject refers to the United States court and not to the territorial court AiT. Street is in no way connected with u Q United States court nor was he en- plcyed by his father, but by the district clerk. Mir. Foster. who is. of course. the clerk of both courts. Mir. Foster attends l.. all the business Of the United States court; MT. Street assists cnIy in the business of the territorial court and never has anything whatever to do with the affairs of the federal side. That the courts are separate and distinct in this territory has been de- cided by a ruling in a recent report of the comptroller of the department Of justice. though in Oklahoma the courts are regarded as one.
 The case of MT. Gilmore is even far tlIeI removed from an appearance O. q. violation Of the law. Not only is he not 9 bailif in sessions of the United states court. but as bailiff in the terri tJrial district court he acts in the capacity oi a deputy sheriff. having been regularly appointed q deputy by Sheriff Stout. He is not a paid deputy hut any one of he salaried deputies might act as bailiff if he were delegated to dc so by the sheriff, who alone has It:e business Of furnishing bailiffs It P reht be supposed that Mr. Gilmor. had been appointed one of the salaried deputies. In that case no one would contend that the sheriff could not as siSn him to the duties of the bailif

the library has long since Outgrown its present
quarters The shelves close packed up TO
the ceiling with the rarest tones and numerous
extra bookcases crowd the room. There are
about fifteen thousand volumes and that many
of them are rare and some unique is proved by
the fact that il takes four large catalogue vol

exclusively Americana, dealing with the period

most Of the books at that time. The library
contains copies of five different editions Of this

The rarest book in the library is the Dutch

COLLECTION OF AMERICANA-GIFT
WORTH OVER 100000.

At the corner of Benefit and Power SITS, IN the
aristocratic East Side" of Providence, X. l.,
stands a large wooden mansion Of the Colonial
type which was erected about a century ago
This is the homestead of the second Nicholas
Brown for whom Brown University was named
Located in the more modern rear extension OF
this house is the most remarkable and valuable
collection of works on American history in eX-
istence with the possible exception of that in
the Lenox Library, in New-York. 1t is the John
Carter Brown Library, which was given TO
Brown University, together With $6j0,OoO in
cash for it's maintenance, by the viii OF John
Nicholas Brown whose untimely death in
New-York hotel about two years ago Is well re-
membered.
1t has taken about seYenty-hNe years 10 as

When a young man. the late John Carter Brown,
having a bent toward historical research and
possessing ample means, began to purchase
books on the early history Of America, and con-
tinued the practice in increasing degree all
of his comparatively long life Upon his death
he beoueathed the library to his widow, and she
in tr1rn wilIed il to her eldest lie continued

ton OF PtOlemys geography. printed AT Ulm in
14S2, in which is the first engraved map of the

The library contains the original editions Of
all the books Of the sixteenth century explorers
A unique book is the original manuscript Of
Champain's voyage to the West Indies from
1899 10 1902 illustrated with maps and draw
ngs in colors The ink used in making this
priceless volume ia as bright to-day it was
three hundred years ago. The collection is
pecially rich in the early Mexican and South
American publications In an altar book print
ed in Mexico in the sixteenth century, the print
ing and illustrations compare favorably with the
best of modern work.
Colonial history contributes thousands of vol
umes to the library. There is one Of the best
collections of books in the Indian language eX-
taut among these b,ing several copies of Eliots
Bible and his primer.
The Revolutionary period IS thoroughly COW

and the other England colonies are found
