 Globe. Ariz., Aug. 15.-A special agent of the Department of Justice has been investigating the conduct of E. A. Tucker, late of Nebraska, ap- pointed to the supreme bench of Ari- zona recently, and assigned to Ora ham and Gila counties. When Judge Tucker located the federal court in Globe. it was after it had been agreed that he should be furnished with a residence free in addition to his offices. After the residence had been secured he is said to have intimated to the supervisors that he desired the home furnished without expense to him.
 Attorneys complain that Tucker. while on the bench, invariably sits with his feet on the desk, compelling attorneys to talk to the soles of his shoes. It is also charged that Tucker caused a subscription paper to be cir culated to buy him a gold-headed cane. He is now in Nebraska. but it Is understood that friends have ad- vised him to hurry back and make explanations.

EDWARD
 STREET
A Trouble For the
 City Fathers
Opened Up a Few Years Ago By Some Spectators the Conditions Are Now Bad.

Edward street is fast becoming a source of much trouble to the city fathers and if the board of public works doesn't look out they will be apt to go to jail over it. The street was opened several years ago and q few houses built there by real estate spectators, who finally disposed of the property to others. The houses were built to the grade of the land as 1t existed at that time and without any reference to the grade of the highways it opened onto. In time the conditions became so that it was ne cessary to get water and sewers, and before these improvements could be put in something had to be done with reference to the grade. and largely through the instrumentality of Judge Cole the street was formally laid ont and accepted as per plans prepared by the city engineer A portion of the work was done about three years ago, the understanding being that it would be completed as soon as possible. It remained there since. a. menace to life and limb and an eyesore to every body in the neighborhood. Now and then somebody called upon the board of public works and asked that the work be finished and others dropped in and represented that what had been done rendered the place even worse than ever before. The engineer always took the ground that no other layout could be made that would agree with Drayer avenue and Alder street. two highways running west and north of Edward street, and after some. delberation on the part of the business administration. it was de cided to finish the job this year. Bids were called for, proposals to be re- ceived this afternoon at o'clock. Everything looked favorable for the awarding of the contract and the com pletion of the work until this after noon when Attorney Guilfoile. coun- sel for Margaret Mikanaitis and oth- CTS. got out an injunction signed by Judge Peasley. restraining the board of public works from awarding the contract or doing anything with Ed ward street pending the adjustment of a demand for damages arising from the layout of the street and citing the city to appear in the superior court at the October term to answer to Mrs Mikaniatis in suit for damages. The paper claims that the defendant had no notice of the layout and does not want the order carried out because it will greatly depreciate the value of her property Really the board is be- tween two fires. Some of the proper ty owners want the work taken hold of and put through. others ask that Il new grade be established and one adopted according to their own notion instead of that of Engineer Cairns. and to make things still worse a few persons now come along and object to making a move towards doing any thing. It is bad mess and unless something unexpected turns up the attitude of the people will deter the city from taking hold of the project this season.
