FIENDS CONFESS.
One of the Most Atrocious Murders
in Arizona Criminal Annals.

The murder of Ed Porter, a black
smith employed at the construction
camp of the Phoenix & Eastern rail-
road in ella County, the circumstances
of which have just come to- light, was a
terrible deed. A startling confession
of the crime was made to the Sheriff
of that county last week by Joe Carson
and Jose Martinez who were arrested
and brought to Globe. The men re-
lated che killing as though it were an
ordinary occurrence. in their lives.
Both are young men.
The killing Of Potter occurred several
months ago, and the affair was wrapped
in mystery until week ago. when the
Pinal county officers captured Carson
and Marines. Before Justice of the
Peace Hinson Thomas, the men told of
the killing, and they were held to- the
grand jury, which meets June L. They
stated that Potter was carrying a sack
containing whisky, and when he re-
fused to give them some, Carson cut
The bag and his partner threw Potter
down.
In the struggle on the ground. Mar
tinez. said he felt something pricking
him, and he was reminded that he had
81 pruning knife in his belt. With this
he cut Potter's throat. Carson COM
pleted the crinse by cutting gashes on
the stomach in the shape of a cross.
The men then threw the body in the
river. They explained to Che Justice
that the gasnes in the stomach were
made in order that the body mig bit
sink to tie bottom of the stream.

Good Showing of Bank of Yuma.

Geo: Nicholson, the receiver for the
Bank of Yuma, made his third report
to the court last week. 1t is the inten:
ton to declare dividend of 25per cent
as soon as the time for filing claims
(August 23) has expired. The assets
of the bank have been greatly improved
since being placed in the hands of Mr..
Nicholson. Many simple notes with
srDsll chance of collection are now Sc
c1red by real estate mortgages for
short terms, while a great many other
notes with former inferior securities
have been transformed into fiFSt=claSs as
sets by procuring new and acceptable en<
GtrsementS. Interest on the securities
will more than carry all expenses con-
1ected with the receivership, and it is
the well founded opinion of the receiver
that if the necessary time is granted,
the depositors of the bank will be paid
st Feast 30 per cent and possibly 70 per
cent before the first of January.

John Gandolfo is one of the shrewd-

appreciation OF the club Of her valuable
services in organizing it, and of the
very able manner in which She has pre-
sided over It's deliberations during the

the great amusement of the club mem
bers who are normally in that condi-
sion, she, for the first time in their ex-
perience, had no words with which to
respond. But she soon rallied, and
thanked them very appropriately for

Railroads Buy Space In Paper.

The railroads are discovering that
they cannot buy all the newspapers,
although it is their declared purpose
to do so. George V. S. Michaelis, who
has charge Of the railroad publicity
bureau at Chicago, declared when in
terviewed:
1T is my purpose to send out all
the material ! can get favorable to our
side of the question to the newspapers.
Where l cannot get them to take it as
news matter or to be used editorially,
l shall buy space in the papers and
give our side publicity in that man
ner."
Where the railroad bureau has struck
a snag is that nearly every town has
a merchants association Of some kind,
and since the rate legislation has
sprung up these associations are al
lied to obtain reasonable rates. The
merchants are advertisers, and that
keeps a good many newspapers in the
straight and narrow path that might
otherwise be tempted to sell their
columns to the railroads.

Republican Disagreement.

The Republican stand patters may
whistle to keep up their courage. but
the sensible politician feels that tariff
revision is in the air. The coming col
gress. with its large Republican ma
jor:ty, may shut its eyes to the de-
mand for tariff reform, but as long
is hiGl trast prices, fostered by pro
lection, continue there will be no let
up in the demand for tariff legiSla-
ton. lac latest convert, among
many importan, Republican newspa-
pers, to urge tariff reform is the
Cleveland Leader, Which says:
1T was all very well to stand pat
in 1903 ana 1904, but unless Repub-
lican leaders wish to invite the elcc-
ton of Democratic successors to them
selves they must adopt the presidents
policy as to railroad rates and tariff
revision. They must bend to public
opinion, lest they break under its
weight"
And yet Senator Dick of Ohio de-
clared the other day that it would be
foolish for the Republicans to attempt
to tinker With the tariff, and Speaker
Cannon has already fixed up Il commit
tee on ways and means Of the next
house Of representatives Of which
nearly every Republican member will
be an ardent stand patter.

A Black Eve For Shin Subsidy.

Senator Hanna, if alive, would GER
tainly gaze with amazement on the an
nouncement Of Special Agent Lincoln
Hutchinson Of the department Of COM
MERGE and labor that to pay Il ship
subsidy for a fast steamship line TO
Brazil would be practically worth
less as a drawing card for more trade
with that country. Senator Frye and
the other subsidy hunters in congress
will view such reports rs rank heresy
and the prospect Of the taunts Of he
Democrats when they oppose the meas.
ure IN the coming congress, as they
have III former ones, adds to the con
sternation Of the stand pattcrs. BUT
perhaps 1t will not do t LWise our hopes
too high on the prospect OF defeating
the ship subsidy steal, for the report
may yet be "doctoaed." Since Mr..
Garfield issued the report that the beef
trust was only making 2 per cent profit
and less than 81 n head or the cattle
slaughtered reports from that quarter
must be received with caution.

BEEF TRUST FACTS.
4 Defender of Garfield Approves the
Combines

The National Provis.oner publishes
All article, Facts ABOUT the Beef
Trust" the writer of which claims hat
he is a competitor Of the trust. I'm
like other competitors, who are now
clamoring for equal rights to ALL" he
would have us believe that the com
bine is a self sacrificing concern and
worthy Of all praise instead Of con-
demnation and prosecution. This de-
fender and advocate of the beef trust
declares the Garfield report to be one
of 1.-The %fairest, most far reaching, i'm
partial and unprecedented Statements
V e made. That this idea of the re-
port is not shared by the newspapers
Of the country seems to considerably
worry the author of Facts About the
Beef Trust" for he says:
"One would think that after the
Garfield report the penny-a-liners
would subside; but no, they keep it
up. Their policy is throw all the
dirt you can and some of it will be
sure to stick" Were they to drop
the beef trust how could they fill their
papers with sensational matter?"
The public, who feel they are being
swindled at both ends of the business
methods Of the trust, are ever more
anxious to see "the machinery of jus
tice" grind out the grist than the news
papers are. The farmers and stock
growers believe they are not getting a
fair price for their cattle and hogs
and the consumers know they are pay
ing an enormous price for beef which
they believe to be unreasonable. Then
the federal court believed from the
evidence produced that the packers.
known as the trust. have combined to-
gether to reduce the price they would
pay for cattle and to vaise the price
the trust sells it's beef for. Further
more, the federal grand jury has III
dicted the packers N the evidence
brought before it, and it is quite prob
able if the prosecution is followed up
vigorously that the beef barons may
yet be serving time in striped clothes.
When all the facts about the beef
trust" are disclosed it's wicked com
bination to rob the farmers and despoil
the beef eating public will be made
plain. That the administration has IA
vored the trust by giving it a virtual
monopoly through the government in
spection will have to be investigated
and attended to by congress. If there
Is to be any advantage it should be the
competitors of the trust that should be
favored.
The beef trust and other monopolies
have such a hold on the Republican
party that it is impossible to expect
much relief. The good old Democratic
doctrine of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none" is the only
way this government should be run tt
do justice to all the people.

A Divided HOuRe.

The denunciation Of the Republican
tariff reform meeting at Chicago by
the stand patters, who declare that
1.-THE movement is a menace to the pro-
tective tariff system and should be
recognized as such by all interests
which adhere to the Dingley sched-
ules," BODIES division and trouble in
the Republican camp. The call for a
modification Of the exorbitant tariff
schedules is widespread in Republican
states. The Iowa idea," which exists
in the northwestern states, that the
tariff fosters trusts is amplified in
Massachusetts and Maine by q de-
manG for free hides, free coal and free
raw materials generally and for an
enlarged Canadian market. The stand
patters declare the sacred tariff must
not be touched and denounce fair dis
cussion. Will the Republican house,
divided as it is on this important eco.
nomic question that affects the pocket
Of every voter, be able to stand the
strain and stress Of a public discussion
Of the question?
