SOME DOINGS AT PHOENIX
Especial CorresnondenceN

Phoenix. Ariz., Feb. 10.-The Equal suffrage association of Arizona is bending all efforts to winning friends for a bill that will be introduced at this session of the legislature, which aims at equal suffrage. The bill is doomed, say the quidnuncs. The ma jority of legislators are reserved in their expressions on esithmersa Il their expressions on this measure. pre- ferTing. when waited on by the fair lobbyists. to smile assent and look convinced. but adopt the prerogative of great men and change their minds when the proper time comes. The most poultry at heart will abscond from the legislative chamber with the convictions that the fair advocates have wrought when the bill is presented for a vote In fact, the difficulty will be in securing a quorum for the members of the assembly are not anxious to go on record in oppO- sition to the equal suffrage bill. yet they are far more anxious not to go on record as fayOring it. The bill may be unanswered through the house but if so it will get its quietus, as usual. in the council unless the equal suffrage advocates work out some un. precederted change in the program. Nobody knows who will introduce the bill and nobody aspires to the honor. Assemblyman Webb of Graham cOun- ty, is frequently referred to as the equal suffrage leader, but he says modestly that he is making no ar engagements calculated to enfranchise women.
 The president of the Equal Suffrage association is Mrs. H. F. Robinson Other prominent women are included in the membership and some of them are enlisting the efforts of their hus. bands in the unpromising effort. In an interview Mrs. Robinson expresses her confidence in the success of the measure this year:
 A great many men who may not be in favor of equal suffrage are will ing to aid us in our work because a territorial legislature has the power to grant women enfranchisement while if Arizona becomes a state the ques- ton must be made one of referendum. If this legislature should grant the en- franchisement of women the women of the territory will be represented in the constitutional convention and the women themselves will have an oppor, tunity, of voting to determine whether equal suffrage shall prevail under state form of government. Otherwise the question will be determined by the male population"
 Is your movement stronger this ses. sesion than when a similar bill was defeated two years ago?"
 Decidedly stronger. And two years ago we were much stronger than at the former session. Some of our good friends of the last legislature have been returned to their seats, in dicating that their constituents ap, proved their course. and among the new members are men who will vote
 with us. We have nothing to offer in exchange for a vote We go to the lawmakers purely on the merits of the question, however, we are per fecting our county organizations, we are receiving better treatment from the press, and We have a constantly increasing membership in our aso-

Mexico Thursday to his sorrow.
There was an immense crowd at
the station Thursday. Mr.. King

tanned two or three dollars, a rail-
road ticket and some keys. The
pocketbook belonged to his wife
who had just given it to him for
safekeeping. In speaking of the
matter Mr.. King said he thought
the money was taker while he was

Slap at Thieves.

st. Louis, Oct. 22--Dr. VIM. f.
Kuhn of Kansas City, who was
elected at yesterdays session Of
the Masonic Grand Lodge Grand
Master of the State of Missouri,
made an address in which he spoke
Of self-confcssed and convicted
boodlers who had been Masons,
but whom, the lodges of which
they were members, he was proud
to say, had either tried and ex-
PEELED from their membership, or
their cases are now under advise
ment.
The name of our state has
been disgraced," he said, by
some of our civic officials. Public
trust has been betrayed aud sold
to the highest bidder. Civic honor
has been obliged to hide her face,
while private and corporate greed
has filched like a bold highway
man the purse of its victim. The
civilization of the Twentieth CEN
fury has stood appalled, and has
thought of the decadence of once
proud Rome, which fell Il prey to
biyib dishonor. OF the self-cou.
fessed, convicted aud sentenced
boodlers of Missouri, six of the
thirty-twO, to our sorrow aud
shame, were Masons. "
After referring to several spe-
cific cases where members who
had sold their honor for money
had been tried and expelled with
commendable ZEAL" the Grand
Master concluded, the edict has
gone fourth that the boodlers must

Following are extracts from
specials" to the st. Louis and
Kansas City papers as the trial
progressed:
Troy, Mo-, Oct. 21.-The state
received some hard blows this af-
ternoon in the case against Clar-
ence A. Barnes, charged with the
killing of Rhodes Clay at Mexico.
The testimony was in favor of the
defense. 1t has been a very doubt
full question until this afternoon
as to who shot first.
Mrs. John L. Sullivan of Chica.
go, who was Miss Margaret Fitz-
patrick, and formerly resided near
Mexico, said that she was in a
buggy near the entrance of the
,MsZiso postoffice when the trag-
edy occurred. She said that she
saw the two young men, and that
she saw Clay fire the first shot,
while Barnes was backing away.
Barnes hand was reaching for his
hip pocket. The witness stated
that she saw Barnes lips moving
as if he were warning Clay to
stand back. This testimony was
followed by that of a 12-year-old
boy, Kenneth Maxwell, of St.Louis
who said that he was in Mexico
and saw Clay shoot at Barnes
first.
Mrs. John L. Sullivan of Chica-
go and Master Kenneth Maxwell,
who were eye witnesses to the
shooting, each testified positively
that Clay fred the first shot. DIR.
7. J. Basket was an important
witness. He testified that he ex-
amined the clothing of Clay after
the shooting and that he found no
holes in the back of them. Every
eye witness that was put on the
stand to day testified thai Clay
fired the first shot, and that Barnes
evaded Clay in the post Office,
backed away from him and tried
his best to avoid a difficulty.
Deputy Sheriff Sidney James
was an important witness for the
defense testifying that he was near
Barnes while the shooting was in
progress and was the first person
to Barnes after he had fallen.
Mrs. @. T. Etheridge Of Mexico
testified that she saw the princi.
pals both before and during the
shooting. She said she heard
Barnes say, Don't follow me;
l don't want any trouble with
you" aud that Clay followed
Barnes, seemingly not needing his
entreaty.
Revs. j. II. Pritchett and A. W,
Kokeudoffer, Supt. d. A. McMil'
Ian of the Mexico public schools,
S. P. EmmOns and G.. w. Robert
son, merchants of Mexico, all tes-

good.
