INTEREST

A STRAY WHEEL-MarshaI Kin ney has a Crescent wheel that he would like to dispose of to the owner. It is a stray picked up on the street and though almost anybody can ride it, it was built specifically for the accommodation of skirts.
 BIRTHDAY PARTY-Miss Ella Luhrs, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Geo. H. N. LuhTs, yesterday celebrated her nineteenth birthday anniversary, with a gathering of friends at the Com mercial hotel. Mir. and Mrs. Luhrs have four children, of which Miss Ella is the second. The oldest son is almost twenty-one and the young est is yet but a small lad. Speaking of yesterdays party MT Luhrs said such incidents begin to remind him quite forcibIy of the fact that time is fleeting. He said he recalled that very early in his married life he had made the statement that his chief am bition was to live until his oldest boy was of age so he could take charge of things. He said yesterday though that soon after that he had inserted a clause in his lease on life, which per mitted him to make a renewal of the lease if he possibly could and that re- gently he has been thinking that it was a wise provision. He is going to try and make the new lease long enough so he can see the baby safely over his majority and will also insert in it another proviso for a second eX- tension in the event that grandchiI- dren should appear in the meantime. Seriously his ambition to live and grow up with Phoenix seems to be just as vigorous as it was twenty years ago. He is making no calcula- tion to go until he is sent for and even then he will file a demurrer.
 ENFORCED ASSOCIATION-Tw O of the deadliest enemies in town are now the occupants of the wOmen's cell at the county jail. One of them is Jesus BaIdenegro and the other is her neighbor, Francisco RObles. These women have been for some time dis turbing the peace of the community in
Arizona republican., 1905-08-12

which they live by calling each other names and by the interchange of rocks and brickbats. On the complaint Of Miss Robles the Baldenegro woman was brought into Justice Burnett's court yesterday and was sent to jail for fifteen days. On the complaint of Mrs. Baldenegro the other fell into the power of Justice JohnstOne and she too got a sentence of fifteen days. When they were locked up together they were told by the sheriff's officer that there should be no fighting in the cell and that the one who started a row would be turned over to the kan garoo court to be dealt with. Both women have a wholesome fear of that tribunal so that peace prevailed in the cell occupied by them.
 A STUDY OF FREIGHT RATES A meeting of merchants and shippers of Phoenix was held at the board of trade rooms last night to make prep aration for an investigation of the freight rates in and out of Phoenix. The meeting was presided over by J. A. Marshall; Selim Nicholson was secretary. A resolution was adopted for the appointment of a committee to take up the matter and report at a meeting to be held two weeks from last night. The members of the com mittee are L. LaChance, Louis Melc- ger and J. H. LaRue. The committee is instructed to secure information re- garding freight rate conditions at Yuma, Tucson, Bisbee, Prescott and Phoenix. It is said that there is a discrimination in favor of the first three named towns on goods going in but it is not known whether this dis crimination exists on goods going out. If the report of the committee shows that Phoenix is a sufferer by reason of discrimination the railroads will be appealed to put the town on an equal footing with the other important towns of the territory.
 AS TO COUNTRY DOGS-Marshal Kinney says he has learned of some friction between the dog catcher and the out of town residents who have permitted their dogs to follow them into the city. The marshal says it is unnecessary for the country people to fight the dog catcher, whose opera tions are subordinate to his office Whenever trouble arises if they will telephone the city hall he will respond and adjust matters according to the equities of the case and without quib- bling or bIoOdshed. The truth of the matter is that the city does not want

statutory offense of the larceny OF cleo

an electrician, wired his own house.
and In doing so placed Jumper In
the wiring. which, when connected,
turned the current around the meter,
and into the house. The wiring was
done about Oct. IA of this year, and
the jumper was so arranged that Il
could be connected with the house wir-
Ing by means of two springs, one for
each wire. The springs could be dis
connected from the jumper and con-
nected with the meter at will. and In
that way Conway was able to allow as
much of the electricity to run through
the meter as he chose, which from all
appearances, was not very much and

EXTRACTION TREATY.
State Department Wants Those With
France and Germany Revised.

Washington. Dec. est is probable
that steps will soon be taken by the
department OF state TO secure revls-
ion and remodeling of the existing eX-
tradition treaties with France and Ger
many. Recent events have drawn at
tention to some very serious defects
In the old conventions and ii Is feared
that before long France and Germany
will become Ravens OF refuge for
certain class OF American criminals,
Within the past fortnight the chief OF
police of Hoboken cabled a request to
the Paris municipal authorities to ar
rest and return 10 the United States
a man named Sasola, on the charge of
grand larceny. The French authorities
were surprised at this request coming
not through the American embassy, but
from a quarter officially unknown to
the French government. Bow street
officers frequently locate and place un-
der surveillance fugtives from justice
In New York upon the cabled request
OF the New York chief of police. but
they do not attempt to arrest them
unless the American embassy itself
makes the request. SO likewise the Par
islam authorities turned TO the Ameri-
can embassy and finding that no regu-
lar application had been made for Sas-
ola's extradition, placed him at liberty.
1t happened that In the course OF the
proceedings It was discovered by the
French authorities that there was alb
solutely no provision in the extradi-
ton treaty for the surrender of a per-
son charged with grand larceny. The
treaty itself Is OF ancient date. having
been made in 1s4S, and though Il was
amended in 1s45 and again In 1868, the
omission was never supplied. The
treaty with Prussia and the German
states. made in 1852, likewise fails to
include grand larceny as an extradita-
BILE crime.

Armstrong and IN support Of the seven
challenges made In behalf OF the contes-
tees. Up to late hour this afternoon
no decision on the challenges In the
ThIrty-seyenth district had been made
by Judge Richie.
The principal objections made by the
attorneys for contestants to the ballots
challenged were that they were lmprop-
erly marked and not marked with the
regulation cross as provided by law,
ON some of the ballots other marks
We're made Instead of the cross, stu
others were marked with identification
marks and still others had large blots
OF ink upon them. All Of these, the at
torney contendei, were spoiled and not
marked according to law and should be
rejected. Two Of the ballots were mark
ed with a cross under the rooster and
with two large crosses across the other
tickets. These, it was contended. were
clearly In violation Of the election laws
and should be REJECTED. The attorney
cited sS,tions Of the election laws and
numerous court decis ons In support OF
his contention.
Among the interested spectators In
court this morning were Mayor Morris
and Mayor-elect Thompson.

enable the tow-boats to take on coal.
The tow that most nearly approx
mated the Dewey IN American history
was that OF the big double turreted
monitor Mianantononah In 1867. She
was then the very latest type OF naval
architecture and was sent across the
Atlantic apd into ~, MeeteraiG an rs

American had got as result Of sea

officers now rear admiral, who help

OF the difficulties OF that trip. The
monitor could not carry enough coal

steam, so she was loaded with coal
boxes on the decks until the ship was
almost awash and started at four
knot sneed across the Atlantic. 1t hap
pened that between four and FIVE knots
Is the calculated speed OF the Dewey.
The navy owned at that time big
ride wheeler. the Atlanta, and this
ship towed and steered the Miananto-
nah clear across the Atlantic. She
took the course that will be followed
by the Dewey In the reversed direc-
tion, going from Gibraltar to Cape
Verde Islands across to the West In
dia Islands. up to the Bahamas and
so on 10 Delaware bay. At Cape Verde
the tow was met by schooner sent
out from this side laden with coal and
with this fresh supply, the monitor
was gotten across. Several times the
towing lines broke, but there were no
serious vicissitudes and naval officers
here are hoping that the Dewey with
her four tow boats will do as we'll.
Estimates vary considerably as to the
length Of the cruise, but few place the
time at less than three months.
