Strike Sure to Spread


Unless compromises are offered by
all the opposing interests in the fight
now in progress in Chicago between
capital and labor, the teamsters' strike
will spread many fold during the next
forty eight hours.
The refusal of the teamsters' joint
council, representing $4,000 union
drivers, to accede to the demands of
the Chicago Team Owners association
to handle merchandise for all business
houses having contracts with the men,
bers of the owners organization with
out discriminating against the firms in
volved in the present strike, has
brought the controversy to a point
where a speedy settlement will have
to be made to prevent an extension of
the trouble.
After receiving the announcement of
the teamsters' joint council refusing to
obey the ultimatum of the Team Own
ers' association a meeting of the latter
organization was held and it was de-
cided to give the teamsters until to-
night to consider the proposition.
The Chicago Joint Liverymen's asso-
citation has become involved in the
trouble, as strike of the 1000 drivers
employed by this organization is immi-
nent. The trouble was brought about
by the union cab drivers refusing to
carry patrons of the association to the
strike bound department stores.
SIugglng Methods Exposed
Should this strike be called it will in
volve the hearse drivers, and, it was
said tonight, would necessitate the use
of mounted guards to escort funerals
to outlying cemeteries should 1t be ne
cessary to use non-union drivers.
Another death was added to the list
of strike victims today In a contro-
versy arising out of the strike, between
John Cahill and two companions, with
James Jennings colored, the latter was
shot in the head and killed. Cahill,
who did the shooting and who is under
arrest declares that he killed the negro
in self-defense.
p. Lagrogoris, an owner of a lunch
wagon in front of which the shooting
took place. was attacked by friends of
Jennings later and beaten until he was
unconscious. Lagrogoris' condition is
serious and he will probably die.
A wholesale exposure of the extent
and methods of professional 'slugging"
is expected by the police. to be the re-
suit of revelations connected with the
murder of Charles ]. Carlstrom, a wa
gon worker for which eight men are
under arrest.

will build wheel twenty four feet in diameter. It will be proportionate- Iy great enough to raise twenty inches of water twenty four feet every twenty four hours.
 Woods patent differs from water wheels in that it raises he water to the topmost point, there dumping it into an upright pipe which stands in the center of the wheel, It drops front here to the axle and raised in a pipe on the outside, the top of which is almost as high as it's compan- ion inside.
 Woods has already made tests with a wheel thirty inches in diameter. In Granite creek it worked in satisfac- tory manner, raising the water as had been expected. These tests were made in streams that varied in speed. The faster the flow, the greater amount of water was raised.
 If Jackson finds that he can con- struct the twenty four foot model without too great an expenditure he will have the work completed as soon as possible. The wheel will be built in Prescott and taken to Kirkland creek, where test, which several far mers of this county are anxious to see will 6- made.
 The success of this wheel will mean the building of several others. h. stead of taking water out in ditches miles above their farms, those who live along the rivers will use the cheaper method of water wheels.

When Frank NJ. Murphy was east on his last trip he arranged for the sale of s1OO, CU0 worth of Prescott city bonds to a New York trust company, though the news of it did not leak out until yesterday afternoon.
 Papers have been prepared by the city officials here, and all that re mains before Prescott will get the money IS their signature by the New York people, who are ready to do this as soon as they have been approved by their attorneys.
 The bonds were sold at par, which means that Prescott will soon have S100, GOO less per cent commission for the placing of the bonds, with which to make improvements that have been delayed for two years or more.
 These bonds bear per cent interest annually, the first of them beginning to mature in five years, and the last in fifty. They were authorized at bond election here some time ago, but have not been placed before because of de- lays that were unavoidable.
 Dennis E. Burke, ex-mayor, placed the selling of the bonds in the hands of MT. Murphy, when he was in office. As favor to the city MT. Murphy has urged their merits as an investment before eastern people, and succeeded

PHOENIX, April 13, (Speoial) J. Damage that cannot be calculated to- night has been done the agricultural interests of the Salt River valley by the destruction of the Arizona dam, few miles above this city.
 Early this evening a report reached here from the electric power station on the Arizona canal that the dam had been entirely destroyed, though earlier reports stated that only 250 feet ot the 75O feet of masonry work had been swept out by floods in the Salt river.
 At the office of the Arizona Water company, Manager W. B. Cleary an nounced this evening that the dam was practically destroyed. Asked when the damage could be repaired he said It Dlkub UG u uJdIltI OA Sch Idl luOuIISs
 The collapse of the barrier has re- suited from water pouring over the top, which has caused the concrete to disintegrate, the debris first being noticed here early this morning in the river. When the final crash came heavy timbers, 20x24 inches, snapped like matches.
 The main collapse took place at 9 o clock this morning. Warning of what was to take place reached Phoenix early, and several feared that there might be flood that would imperil the business section of this city. There has been no unusual rise in the Salt river, and no danger is feared.

cluded in their reports much that was interesting as to what took place in San Antonio, and how they were treated. Bardshar obtained an inter view for Goldwater with the president in which he talked to the chief execu- tive for two whole minutes.
 The ladies of San Antonio had a committee that looked after the wives of the visiting soldiers, and saw that they were we'll entertained. A similar committee will have to be appointed in Prescott when the time comes.
 There was some discussion as to where the O'Neill monument should be located, which brought out the fact that the board of supervisors four years ago appropriated lot in the north side of the court house plaza for the monument. Goldwater inquired if the south side of the plaza might not be better place. Nothing wss done.
 Now that H. P. Anewalt has left the city he has been made an honorary member of the Citizens Monument committee, and his place is rendered to Frank A. Jones, the new Santa Fe traffic man.
 Secretary Dillon was instructed to communicate with the adjutant gener. al of the Ariz )na National Guards to bring about the organization of a com pany here.

Tax natter to Be Settle in Court.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
 Cordes wool raisers, who refused to pay their taxes, yesterday gave a bond for their payment, as forecast exclu- sively by the Journal Miner, but with the understanding that they make DO admission of the claim against them being a legal one.
 District Attorney E. E. EIlinwood and Assessor D. J. Ellinwood and Assessor D. J. Sullivan were on the round yesterday and they approved of the stand that had been taken by As sistant District Attorney S. l.. Pattee and Deputy Assessor P. J. Farley in demanding that the wool raisers give bond for the payment of the taxes.
 Little doubt exists now that the matter will be threshed out in the district court, and an important tax question settled. The mere payment of the taxes has been obscured by the larger question invclved-one that interests every wool man in Arizona.
 When the wool men took the matter up with District Attorney ElIinwood yesterday he advised them to pay the taxes, as they were a legal claim by the county and could not be avoided.
 Ellinwood was formerly a sheep man himself. being interested in them in Coconino county while practiclng law at Flagstaff. He is also the attorney for the Arizona Wool Growers asso- citation, an organization that is ex- pected to take the part of those who refuse to pay the taxes both on their wool and sheep.
 ] he sheep men were required to give bonds for twice the amount of the taxes on the wool clip they hold at Cordes. They gave satisfactory bond with two sureties, who own real estate in this county.
 The whole affair now becomes one of purely a legal nature. It is expected to interest the wool men of Arizona. New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana and other western states.
 The interesting section of the bond given by each of the wool men for the payment Of his taxes is as follows: "This bond is given subject to the legality of said assessment and taxes, and is executed under protest and to prevent the seizure and sale of the property of the principal named here in, with full rights reserved to the obligators herein to contest the legal ity of said assessment and taxes

MAKERS ON SANTAFE
 STRIKE
By Associated Press.

TOPEKA, April 1.-The boiler makers on the Santa Fe railroad be- tween Chicago and Albuquerque, more than 200 in all, went on a strike this morning. The strike was ordered by the officers of the Brotherhood of Boilermakers in Kansas City.
 Ons hundred boilermakeIs walked out here, but the Santa Fe officials insist that there is no strike at this point.
 "Business is dull," said General Foreman Purcell, land we have laid of some men, that's all''
 The men say they quit work because of sympathy with the boilernIakers on the western division of the road, ad- hitting they themselves have no grei- vance. In reality the whole affair is a struggle for the closed shop princi- pie.
 The Santa Fe has won its fight with the machinists, and is now conducting its shops here on the open shop plan. Boilermakers allege that the road is mpIoying nonunioDists wherever pos sible, and fear their union will soon be in the same position as that of the machinists. The railroad officials deny that they are discriminating against the unionists.

 JONES
By Associated Press.


 PARIS, April l4.-The remarkable search, which Ambassador Porter has conducted for the body of John Paul Jones, has been crowned with success by the discovery of the body and its Identification today by the highest French medical experts as unquestion- ably that of the famous American Admiral, who founded the American navy.
 Ambassador Porter cabled Washing ton tonight announcing the successful result of his long and difficult search. The body is in good state of preserva- tion, considering that interment took place over one hundred years ago.
 Porter has conducted the search for five years, and when congress recently took no action upon the presidents s recommendation for expenses incident to the search, the ambassador contin- ued the extensive labors at own ex- pense.
 A large force of workmen have been engaged night and day tunnelliDg across the old St. Louis cemetery. This constituted huge operation, em- bracing nearly block, covered with buildings and requiring a system of subterranean mining.
 When the leaden casket was taken out it was removed to a medical school, where distinguished professors of anthropology were charged with making thorough examination for the purpose of Identification.
 The body, which is we'll preserved, agreed with the exact measurements furnished by the ambassador, also the color of hair, size and shape of the head, of the admiral. The hair is long, reaching below the shoulders, is combed back and gathered in a clasp at the back of the neck. The face is c,ean shaven, corresponding exactly with the description of the admiral.

Sol Jacksons is having estimates made by the Prescott Engineering Works for an immense water wheel he plans to place in Kirkland creek, and with which he will ilrigate a ranch in that section.
 The device to raise water is to be patterned after the working model of one patented a short time ago by George Woods. This will be the first practical test that has been made, and upon the result depends the degree of efficiency that has been reached by Mir. Woods.

NEW YORK CAPITALISTS
 TAKE PRESCOTT BONDS
F. M. Murphy Places $1OO,O0O Worth---Money Will Be Used
 To Make Improvements.

in negotiating the sale only a few weeks ago.
 With part of this sl0O,O0 Prescott will make improvements to its water and sewer systems, the improvements being a new storage reservoir, dupli- cate pumping plant at Del Rio, and extensions of tine water and sewer mains in the city limits.
 An estimate places the total expend- ituIe necessary for these improvements at s50.0O0. In addition to this the city will probably close for the pur- chase of the Duke ranch, a matter that has been pending for some time.
 The fire department is to come in for slice of the money, which will be expended in the purchase of a chemical fire engine, more equipment and the establishment of paid fire department with a system of fire sig nals. The firemen were promised s10,- 900 for this by preceding council.
 The extension of the sewer and wat CT mains it IS believed will more than add enough to the revenue of the city to pay the interest on the new bonds and to meet the requirements of the funds. c. c. Glass, superin- tendent of the water system, has stat ed that by duplicating the plant at Del Rio, with more modern and eco- machinery, the same saving will be made.
