In discussing the pending interstate
commerce legislation, Mr.. Parry ap-
piled the principles of individualism
and competition, as be did all through
his speech. He declared that the ques-
ton of rebates did not properly enter
into the discussion of the Esch-Town-

that the present laws are fully ade'
auate to meet that evil. The issue rails

going investigation with a view to
establishing the authorship of the

eral Phoenicians, among them +. J..

the coast stopped at San Quentin and
spent a full day there. They brought
back with them copies Of the same

author himself. They said that ne was
a man well along in years and had
then been in San Quentin for a quar-
ter of century. He was under life
sentence for murder. He had daugh-

The Long List Has Been Lessened By
Three.

The trial of criminal cases was be-
gun in district court yesterday morn

sened by three. The members of the

special venire of twenty was ordered.
The first case was that of Charles Nc
Cormick, indicted for forgery. lie had
been held by the Justices court of
Tempe precinct for forging the name
OF Thomas Morrow to a check on the
Farmers and Merchants Bank. Nc
Cormick had admitted the passing of
the check but denied the forgery. He
said he had found the document. The
case did not, however, get as far as
this defense. 1t turned out that the
man into whose possession the check
had come had torn it up so that the
grand Jury did not see it nor had the
district attorneys office any Informal
ton Of a fatal popularity it possesses.
1t was shown that it had been drawn

else, but to "seventy-five dollars" The

her grandson, Carl, came in and in
formed her that the cat was in dis

She did so, and just before reaching

in to see what was happening to the
cat, the lights were turned up and she

correspond with the allegation of the
indictment and it was held that the
check being spurious and worthless on

been a forgery. Mccormick was &C
quilted.
Jose Meyer was found guilty Of bur-

disposed of before noon and the after
noon was given to the Davis case of
which there is an account elsewhere in

Some time the evening before he had
fallen on the road side and spent the
