ROGERS IS OBSTINATE
City Controller Refuses F. N. Stacy
Access to the Records of His
'gr r -. ...s E.a..-- -... y.--,....
Office. Is. Z.

r F. n. Stacy, who has been engaged by
the council to investigate the permanent
improvement revolving fund, Is still storm
ing the city controllers citadel. The fight
for access to the records was resumed
this morning. Controller Joshua Rogers,
having recognized Mr.. Stacy's comm issfon.
declined to make any other concession
this morning. ~. l.:.
Down in the deserted old city hall, in
the vaults formerly used by the controller
are valuable records of the controllers S
office for many years past. The books
covering the period from 1886 to 1896 are
vital to the investigation, and Mr.. Stacy
wishes to pore over these musty tones,
but Mr.. Rogers holds the key to the situa-
tion and also the key to the vaults. When
the inquisitor politely requested this morn
ing that he be allowed access to the vaults,
Mr.. Rogers gruffly declined. MI. Stacy
then asked If the controller would instruct
some one else to bring the desired books
from the vaults to the controllers office.
This also was denied. rE
! In despair Mr.. Stacy: appealed to mem
bers of the committee on accounts of pub
! lie officials, by whom he had been ap-
pointed. and asked for reinforcements
The aldermen gave him written demand
upon Mr.. Rogers for the books, and this
order was also ignored. -
| II will now. ask the city attorney" saic
Mi. Stacy, 'for an order~upon Mr. Rogers
! to allow me access to those books without
additional delay. 1t Is ridiculous that this
| important matter, for which money has
been appropriated and for which / have
been engaged should be obstructed thi:
way by one man. I have to waste all. m!
time demanding common courtesies., 1t il
a rather remarkable proceeding that thu
public accounts of the city of Minneapolis
should be denied the public in this man

MILLS WONT CLOSE
Cars Still Scarce, but no More so
Than They Were in Feb
ruary.
The Total Flour Output Continues
Equal to That of a Year
AGO. %

It is not likely that the milling industry
of Minneapolis will be crippled by the
lack of shipping facilities, bad as the car
situation undoubtedly is.
AT various times since the trouble first
became acute. some four weeks ago, the
mills have reached a point where a shut
down seemed imminent but in every in
stance the danger was averted. The ag-
gregate shipments of -four out OF Mime
apolis Saturday were only 37.373 barrels,
a movement much under normal.
Naturally the mill managers became
alarmed. and the old story that the great
industry was on the verge of being Grip
pied, was again circulated But Sun
day the roads bestirred themselves, more
cars than usual We're switched into mills
to be loaded and in consequence the rail
roads took out 747 barrels Monday. This
is a total of 114.l20 barrels hauled out
on two working days. which, while by
no means a heavy movement. and less
than the output for the time, was a gooC
showing. considering the conditions.
The situation is bad, but it is neither
better nor worse than it has been fol
two weeks. The mills will not close Sc
long as the roads can give the service
they are now offering.
One Of the big mills of the Pillsbury
Washburn company has been down TO
some time in part due to low water Th'
Consolidated Milling company and th'
.WashEourn Crosby company each ha
some mills closed. But still the tOta
-four output Of Minneapolis is up to las
year. although there was no serious ca
trouble at that time #.

the greatest, best and dearest in the
world, She will not want to live in Il

Arizona republican., 1903-12-19

en a hearing on writ of habeas cor pus. The hearing was postponed from time to time until Thursday, and then the governor declined to honor the re- quisition on grounds which were never taken before The reason he gave was that Mir. Bennett had written to Web ster asking him to pay back the money he had taken. There was nothing wrong with tn papers in the hands of the sheriff. The indictment was all right and all the formalities of the laws of Arizona and Illinois had been complied with.
 Judge Baker said yesterday that he was astounded by the course taken by Governor Yates. If the district attor- ney of the county or anyone else rep resenting the prosecuting machinery of the territory had been engaged in cor respondence with Webster about the money he had stolen and threaten- ed him with prosecution if he did not make it good. the governor might prop erly have denied the requisition.
 In his present frame of mind the district attorney is not inclined to as- sist the Illinois authorities in the re- covery of criminals from that state who may hereafter flee to this coun- ty, especially during the administra- tion of Governor Yates.

GOV. YATES EXCUSE
Why Webster Will Not be Broght Rack to Phoenix.

F. Webster, the man who was want in this county for the embezzlemenJ of about $500 last June from pr. Jessop by whom he was employed, will not re- turn to Arizona. A telegram was re- ceived at the office of the sheriff yes terday from Sheriff Cook saying that Webster had been granted a writ of habeas corpus.
 He left Phoenix just after the return of pr. Jessop from his vacation last summer. Some time after his depart ure it was discovered that he had col lected a great deal of money of which he had made no accounting. Webster went to St. Louis ana afterward to Chicago. There was some correspond ence between him and pr. JessOp re- garding the dedication and last July Attorney Walter Bennett whote him about the embezZlement and threat ened him with prosecution.
 An indictment was found against him last October. At that time he had gone from St. Louis and shortly af- terward he was located in Chicago. Nearly month ago Sheriff Cook, arm ed with a requisition upon the govern or of Illinois, went after him. The re quisition was promptly honOred, but the same day the governor recalled his actiCn, having promised the attor- ney for Webster that he would be giv-
