FRIDAY NIGHTS RALLY,
Fowler Club Meeting Postponed Until
 7O'ClocK That Evening.

It has been previously announced that-there would be a meeting Of the Fowler club in Firemen's hall tonight, but the plans have been changed Ey the executive committee of the club which held meeting last night. Tbe executive committee having well Tn hand the arrangements for the big Maxwell meeting on Friday night, it was decided to cancel the daJe for ihf club meeting tonight and request every member Of the club who can possibly do so, to meet promptly at Firemen's hall at o'clock Friday evening.
 T. is proposed Co form large Iro- cession at the city hall. headed by the band and illuminated with transparent cies, march to the Hotel Adams and from there march to the Doris the ater, escorting Mir. Maxwell. who is to be the principal speaker of the cv- ening.
 That MT. Maxwell will be here on time there can be no doubt unless all human inventions for the transporta- ton of passengers go entirely 10 the bad. He was scheduled for a speech in Albuquerque on the 18th and ls due in Phoenix on the 14th. Not daring to take chances on the train schedules in the washout region of New Mexico, he cancelled his Albuquerque date and started for Phoenix via California. tel egraphing the fact from ogden. He is therefore in California now and with out doubt will be here on the 14tI. And that the Doris theater will be packed to it's utmost capacity is also without question. Mir. Maxwell las often addressed Phoenix people on sub jects pertaining to irrigation and has never failed to interest and that he will be even more interesting as a PO- Iitical orator is universally admitted.
 For the benefit of the south side peo- pie the territorial central committee has arranged for a special train over the M & P. railway. to leave Mesa City at 7 o'clock, Southern Pacific time. or 7:3O Phoenix time, which train will return to the south side after the big rally is over.
 After speaking here MT Maxwell will go to Prescott where he will speak Saturday night. Returning he will go to Florence and deliver an address on Monday night. He will then go to Yuma, Tucson, Graham county and Cochise in the order named.
 But the thing for members of the Fowler club to do is to remember the meeting at the city hall Friday even ing at o'clock sharp.

n'DONEOLD GIVES UP
His Plea of Guilty to an Indictment
 for Forgery.

' Professor R. L. McDonnold late sup erintendent of the schools of Phoenix, yesterday decided to give up his fight for liberty. Six indictments had been returned against him the day before, charging him with forgery in having signed che names of members of the school board to orders for his salary which he had already drawn for the times covered by the orders. He was given until two o'clock yes terday afternoon to plead It was SUD- posed that he would plead not guilty and then rely upon insanity for his de- fense. When the cases were called up he pleaded guilty to what is known as case No. 1211 and not guilty to the others. This case is in no wise differ ent from at least four of the others,
 but it happened to be the one under immediate consideration. The court announced that sentence would be passed on Monday afternoon. The sen- tence may range from one year to fourteen years in the territorial prison. There was an almost general expres- sion of sympathy with McDonnold and of wish that he might be saved. It is not commonly believed that he meant to ultimately defraud anyone.
 but being utterly devoid of busi- ness sense he imagined that he could tide over a financial difficulty and then make good the amount he had secured
 by means of the forged orders, out of his salary for the next year. take up the orders which he had given as col lateral, and none would be the wiser or the worse off. In offering his plea

 An indictment was returned yester- day against Bert Starr, charged with child stealing. Starr is the man who last summer abducted thirteen year old Baud Barker for immoral purposes and was arrested at Tucson with the girl who told a revolting story of his cOn2 duct toward her. Starr pleaded not guilty yesterday afternoon and his
 trial was set for next Monday. It had
 been intended to get Starr out of the
 way earlier than that by giving him
 trial on Friday, but it was stated to
 the court that the defense would have
 to have two important witnesses, one
 living in Tucson and the other in
 Globe.
 Frank Davidson was indicted for the
 theft of lot of jewelry and other arti- eles from Mrs. Josephine Lund. He, too
 was captured at Tucson and brought
 back. Davidson pleaded not guilty and
 told the court that he wanted a lawyer
 He said he would have had money 10
 pay his attorney if somebody had not
 butted into his affairs and written the
 person who was going to send him the money, advising that it be not sent. An attorney was assigned him. It was
 stated that after Davidson left the court room re changed his mind and said that he would plead guilty this morning.
