TUCSON CITIZENS CHARGES
SeCretary'ROskruee Replies to Accu-
 satiOnS Against University Regents.

Regarding the charges recently made by the Tucson Citizen against former members of the board of regents of the university and Chancellor Scott of the present board, Secretary George Roskruge replies as follows to let ter of inquiry from Governor Brodie:
 Tucson, Arizona, Feb. 24 1904
 Hon. Alexander O. Brodie, Phoenix, Arizona Dear Sir:-Replying to your communication of yesterdays date, de- string information relative to terms, conditions and record of proceedings referred to in the article published in the Citizen of the 20th instant, de- sire to say that. I have examined the records of the board of regents and the files of the university besides ob- taining reliable data from uninterested parties in regard to the matter of the sale and shipment of the Nesting house engine and dynamo to the So- zorro Gold Mining Co. of Magdalena, N NJ
 The following is the result of my investigation:
 The Dymo. Iron Base and Rheostat were purchased of the Mather Electri- cal CO, of Conn. Deer. 16th 1891, at a cost of $25O.00 (Rheostat still at uni versity). The engine was purchased Novr. 18th. 1891, Of the Westinghouse Go. of New York at cost of $255. .OC and was used for the lighting of the main hall only.
 On June 11th, 1902, the chancellor William Herring, was authorized by the board to execute contract, on behalf of the board, with the Tucson Electric Light and Power Co. for SUD- plying electricity for lighting and power purposes. In the minutes nc reason is assigned for the abandon ment of the Westinghouse plant, here tofore used for supplying light, but

BASEBALL TODAY
Phoenix and Mesa City Will Play at
 Eastlake Park.

At Eastlake park today at D. m the Phoenix, and Mesa baseball teams will cross bats. This is the first time Mesa has played on this side of the river. but good reports of their ability with the willow and handling of the ball have come from those who have seen them play. The Phoenix team an ticipates a hard fought game and has gotten together as strong an aggrega.- ton as possible to be able to give the country bows the horse laugh after tha game is over.
 Smith is now in good shape and will pitch for the locals. Roy Iioman will do the receiving work for the home team.
 The batting order of the Mesa team has not been received. but the locals will bat as follows:

from what can learn 1t had outlived it's usefulness, having been in almost constant use for over ten years, and for this reason as stated to me by the late chancellor, MT. Fitch, President Adams made a statement to the board of regents, at its meeting on the 18th of January, 1903 and advised that an endeavor be made to sell the engine and dynamo. The result of his recom- mendation brought forth the following action by the board consisting of Messrs. Layton, Fitch, Zabriskie, Ormsby and Scott: "On motion the executive committee was authorized to sell the dynamo and Westinghouse en- zine now at the university at a price not less than $150.0O each"
 I am informed that efforts were made to sell the machinery but with out avail and the Socorro Gold Min ing Co.,, after waiting three months, became the purchaser, the machinery was put on slIids. not boxed, by MT. Greenleaf, the carpenter at the uni versity and shipped sometime the lat ter end of April. 1903 The S3O0.00 has been received and placed to the credit of the contingent fund. The executive ! committee owing probably to the changes being made in the membership | of the board, failed to make any writ | ten report of the sale and payment. ] In looking over the minutes I find that on more than one occasion, form- | CT boards, ordered the sale of old pumps, etc. and in the case of the sale of two heaters they were ordered | to be sold for 30 per cent. less than | original cost. The authorizing of the sale of the engine and dynamo was clearly in accordance with precedents established by former boards.
 I am informed by parties here who deal in electric and other machinery and who are acquainted with the en- zine and dynamo in question that they were well sold.
 I have the honor to remain,
 Very respectfully,
 | GEORGE J. ROSKRUGE.
 Secretary.

THE BIG HORSE RACE
Run But Not Settled and an Appeal
 Taken to the Courts.

The much talked about horse race be- tween Jack Gibson's Belladonna and. Jake Cottrell's Lottie Sparks is now matter of history, but the distribution of the stakes is still in statu quo. for it will probably take a. lawsuit to settle the argument. At any rate the pr.n- cipals in the controversy lave hired their lawyers and promise to finish the race in court, tomorrow if possible. and if not then, as soon thereafter as the wheels of the law can turn.
 The day was a delightful one for racing, for it was comfortably warm, just cloudy enough so there was no danger of rain vet dark enough to keep back the dazzling sunshine that had been warming things up for a few days. There was a large crowd at the racetrack, for it was pretty well e. tablished that the race was to be for blood and in dead earnest. The stakes were the largest ever put up in this country and the race was a quartz mile between the two best horses in these parts. Gibson, owning Be.ladOn- na, bet S750 ;n cash and the horse against q like amount by Cotrell. who owned Lottie Sparks, the horses be n 3 valued at S700 each. Tn a1dition, Char lie Williams bet $500 cash on Belladou- na against 9 like amount, with Cottrell. There were other bets made among outside sports amounting to anywhere from one to two thousand dollars, hence the issue of was one of importance.
 The judges were A. II. Davidson, John Norton and Colonel Roundtree, al well known men and all believed to be en- tirely fair minded and friendly to all concerned. Belladonna was ridden by Commodore Passey and Ilottie Sparks by Billy Seaton, a California jockey J. K. Wheat, the manager of tho track tapped the race What happened be- tween the start and the finish is q very hard thing to correctly report. fo1 incidents that transpired in the twen- ty-three seconds between the start and the instant Lottie Sparks passed under the wire, are still in dispute by nearly everybody that saw the race and there Is no trouble in finding plenty of wit nesses who favor either side.
 That Lottie was first under the wire there is no question. That she crowd ( Belladorna out of her position on tn, inside track on two different occasion: there is general agreement: but th' manner of the crowding is the Cause O contention. The Belladonna side of tn, story Is that the track being under tho association rules, the race necessaIi } was, and that the rules provide that il

LECTURE OF HRS. COL. HIGGINS
Interesting Talk on the Life of Consul
 Emma Booth Tucker.

A very f1attering audience greeted Mrs. Colonel Higgins last night at the Doris theater to enjoy her illustrated lecture on the life and work of Consul Emma Booth-Tucker, the lamented Sal vatior Army leader who met death so tragicallY a few months ago. There were over 200 present from the Indian school and the audience beside was a representative one. Among the mo- tables present were Governor and Mrs. Brc6ie. More would haVe been there only for the nume1 ous activities of Saturday night which prevented es- pecially the attendance of business men and their employees. For that reason it was decided to repeat the lecture and music tonight at the same place and hour. There will be no admission charged tonight, though the usual army thank offering will be taken.
 Mrs. Higgins is .; charming speaker and withal most talented woman. Her personal intimacy and knowledge of tn subject of her address fits her pecul- iarly for such a lecture ana the life and work of Mrs. Booth-Tucker is a sub- iect on which almost any we'll inform cd person could discourse interestingly.
 In addition the lecture was illustrated by about a hundred colored stereopti- con views of incidents in which Mrs. Booth Tucker participated during her career, together with $50 feet of nov | ing picture film for the regular Edison machine, showing scenes that occurred at the funeral of that most excellent woman. The machine was operated by Adjutant Hansen, who accompanies Mrs. Higgins on this tour.
 A part of the entertainment not to be overlooked is the music, as some beautiful songs were sung by Mrs. Col onel Brewer, an accomplished soprano soloist who is travelling with Mrs. Hig- | gins, both for the purpose of adding to | the interest of the lectures and as Mrs. i Higgins private secretary. Many of | her songs are the compositions of Mrs. Booth Tucker. Mrs Higgins was in- troduced to the audience by Colonel French, of San Francisco. who, with his wife, Mrs. Colonel French. is with the party. Colonel Frerch has charge of the coast division of the army work, his headquarters being In San Francis co, and the territory under his iuristiic
 ton embraces Utah. Nevada, Washing ton. Oregon, California. Ariozna and l Hawaii
 Mrs. Colonel Catherine Higgins is the | wife of Colonel F. J. Higgins, who is chief secretary of the army for the | United States. his headquarters being in New York city. Mrs. Higgins, be sides being his assistant in the same work, is the national secretary for the work in the rescue homes and slum settlements being carried on by the army all over the country. When she began this western tour she wes met in Salt Lake by Mrs. Colonel French,
 who has been with her ever since.
 When they reached San Francisco they
 were joined by Colonel French. MT.

no instance can horse be crowded, or take the track from a competitor unless far enough ahead to do so without in- terfering with the competitors speed, and further, after the home stretch is entered, each horse must maintain hs position tc the finish. Gibson and his friends contend that Seaton forced Belladonna to the inside border almost at the start. Commodore having to slow up or quit fighting for his place. Af- ter this occurred Commodore edged ts- ward the outside track. being paced in tho same direction by the refining of I4ottie Sparks Also, that Commodore regained his position at the pole on en- tering the stretch. and that Seaton again crossed him when there was no daylight between the horses. forcing BellaGonna to the inside border for a considerable distance. necessarily re- tarding the horse.
 The other side maintains that when Seaton crossed the tracK there was am- pie space between the horses and that everything was done on the square; that no advantage was taken of Bella donna by the jockey. Some of their friends contend also that Commodor hit the other mans mount. to which it is answered that he had a right to dc anything to defend his position. They | also point 10 a slight wound on Rella- | donna's left leg as proof thst the ether horse was illegitinateIy close in the scufe.
 At the conclusion of the race MT | Davidson announced that Lottie Spark won. The other judges, it is claimed by some, had not been consulted befo. the announcement. Gibson and friends were already claiming a foul and pro i testing against the payment of th, stake money and as soon as they could get up to town, secured an injunct ol restraining the shareholders from dis posing of the money till ordered to dc so by the court. The contract and stalk money are in the hands of Char-it Goldman. Many of the smaller individ ual bets were settled at the track in ac cordance with the announced dec sion | The second race between the rid ns horses of Jack Gibson and Logan Nor ris was declared a draw. The reasoi given was that Gibson and Morris ar, personal friends and Morris had al ready arranged to have his horse I'd den by Seaton. As Gibson believed h.
 had not had a square desl at the hand
 of Seaton. Morris declined to have hi horse ridden by him, prefer ing to dray the race rather than give any pos bl ground for further difference of opin !; ion that might comp'icata matters il deciding the first race.

 Victims Of catarrh of the head, catarrh Of the throat, catarrh of the lungs, cataIrh of the stomach, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs, are to be counted by hundreds of thou sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the seed of chronic catarrh within the system.
