THE TEMPE BRIDGE
Nothing Touched It but an Exceed
 ingly Yellow Headline.

There was a want of consonance be- tween the exceedingly yellow headline of Q story in the Enterprise last night and the matter underneath it. With almost malicious loudness, it was an neunced, "Tempe Bridge Carried Away" It required a careful reading of the subjoined matter to find a basis for the connection of the headline. In an obscure part of the story was a statement that the temporary Nj. & P. bridge had been washed away.
 That, too, was a misleading exag- geration, and it did mislead many, for they felt anxious about their friends who had gone over on the late after noon train, and until the story was disproYed last night, some who had been intending to go to Maricopa did not see how they could get there The story caused this office great deal of annoyance last night, keeping a man busy answering telephone inquiries about the destruction of the Tempe bridge.
 As matter of fact. the M. &c P. lost no bridge. There are as many bridges at Tempe as there ever were. There was a temporary wooden structure, which was not a bridge, but a cribbed track built without foundation in the river bed parallel with the railroad bridge, whose woodwork is now being replaced by steel. This track had been used for the carrying of material alongside the bridge.
 As soon as it was evident that there was going to be a flood, the railroad company expected the structure, or a part of it, to go out. It was anchored to the bank as well as it could be done, but there was little expectation Of sav- ing much, if any of it.
 The loss amounts to very little either in material or time. The ties used in the crlbbing were washed away, but

hurried to tho district and remained until T o'clock when al lof the invalids were removed and brought to the Ford. Hotel Adams, the Sisters hospital or were quartered in brick buildings in the neighborhOod.
 Some of them who were already in a bad way it is thought will never be any better for the experience of last night.
 There was considerable apprehension regarding tho effect of the flood on even the brick buildings in the vicin- ity. Tho foundations of most of them are not very strong and it was feared that f tho flood were of long duration they would crumble before it.
 It will likely be days before that part of the country will be Dassable. The ground was so quickly and thoroughly saturated by the water that the busses and other wheeled vehices which were sent out to remove the occupants Of the tents could not go far within the line of the flood on account of the soft character of the ground.

AN INQUIRY FOR A SON
A Borrowing Mother Has not Seen
 Him for Twelve Years.

Anyone who may know anything about the young man inquired about in the following letter will confer fa- vOr on the inquirer by furnishing her with the information asked for. The letter, a pitiful epistle, was received lately by MT. H. P. Anewalt, general passenger agent of the s. r. r. & P.
 Toledo, O., Dec. 27, 1904.
 MT. H. P. Anewalt: l read of your being general passenger agent at Pres colt. Ariz., so I thought I would write at a venture to inquire if you know of Clarence Secrist or know of his where abouts. I read that he was a baggage master there a year ago, that is at Prescott. He is an only son, and l have not heard from him for three years or so. He surely must be liv- ing Yet. I worry every day for him, am alone. so I would like to have him come home and live with me or l could come to him. I have not seen him for twelve years. He was enticed away when he was seventeen years old. so I cannot describe him only as others have told me. He is thirty one years old; that I know. He is of a dark complexion, dark hair and black nlustache so I heard. If he is in Pres colt CT Phoenix would you be so kind as to let me know for I would like to hear of him directly or indirectly. He is or was an operator on the B. & O.. when at home here. Older ones went went west and he went with them unbeknown to his papa and me. That was a hard blow to us. His father is dead this six years and I want my son 10 write if living. Trusting to your kindness to answer, I remain,
 An anxious mother,
 Mrs Amelia Secrist,
 No. 339 Tenth street. Toledo, O.
 Under the direction of Mir. Anewalt the payrolls Of the company were searched for the last two vars but no such name could be found.
 About ten years ago a young man by the name of Secrist came to Phoe- nix and was engaged for short time in the abstract business. He came
Arizona republican., 1905-01-11

from Circleville O., and a very strange thing happened. Secrist did not know that he had any relatives in this part of the countr-v. But there was a miner by the name of Thomas Secrist en- ployed at Goldheld. He had some trouble with his wife and coming to Phoenix one evening to the home of hls wife on East Adams, near the cor ner of Second and calling her to the gate shot her. He ran across the street and shot himself twice and fell He was picked up and carried to the house and lad in one room, his wife in an adjoining apartment. Both died before midnight and were taken to an un- dertaller's room and laid side by side.
 Young Secrist, who was unaware that anyone else of that name was Iiv- ing in this community. returned with party of friends from the Grand canyon The name of the murder and suicide had +ust been learned and the young man having heard it vent to the morgue. When he saw the face of the dead man he tainted. It was the face of an elder brother who had left home several years before.
 Young Secrist was about twenty two years of age then. His first name is not now recalled by any who re- member his residence here.

MAKING BRITAIN's FLEET READY

An order for the mobilization of the
 British fleet is usually regarded as a
 storm signal. When the white ensign
 goes up, consols go down. Usually
 but not always. The most sweeping and noteworthy mobilization order in | British naval history perhaps, was is- sued a fortnight ago. But it has pro-
 duced not panic. but tranquility; not
 anxiety. but reinsurance. It has not l interfered in the least degree with the | progress of friendly negotiations or
 with the various movements which are now making for the confirmation of peace, and. in which, of all European nations, Great Britain is playing the | foremost part.
 For it is pre- -eminently a mobiliza-
 tion order that the admiralty has is- sued. In the first place, it directs the withdrawal from active service of all obsolete or inefficient ships. There has been much talk of the number of ships which figure in the lists, but which would be of no value in war. Many or few, these are to be retired, and 1 their officers and crews are to be used for the strengthening of the really eff | fective ships. That alone would be an | important act of mobilization. But NT all the ships in reserve are to be kept constantly as fully manned and as per fectly disciplined as those in active service; so that in case of being sud denly summoned from the reserve to active duty there will De no need of filling up the complement or of train ing men to duty on an unfamiliar ship. but all will be ready for the highest efficiency at a moments notice-that is to say, the reserve ships will be in a constant condition of mobilization. Finally, the whole navy is to be so redistributed throughout the world as to correspond with the distribution of other navies and with the possible needs of actual war. In brief, all ships are to be effective, all are to be in commission and all are to be where they are likely to be most needed.
 This is beyond doubt a most ensible and practical arrangement, and will materially increase the available strength of the worlds greatest naval power. That it is not regarded as menace to peace, or at least as omin- ous of war, is significant. A hurried draft upon an i'll prepared navy is alarming. whether the cause be a San Stefano treaty or a Dogger Bank trag- edy. It is not alarming, but rather reassuring, for a great navy to be all well prepared and constantly thus pre- pared for any emergency in any part of the world. The lesson is one which the whole world may well take to heart. Half measures are improbable often defeating their own aim. When the time comes. if it ever does, for the abolition of all armies and navies, it will be well to abolish them entire ly. So long as armies and navies are needed. it is well. not only for security in war but for the sake of the main tenance of peace. to make and keep them adequate and eficient.-New York Tribune.
