 deputy sheriff of the county, was in the city the first of the week visit ing old friends. For some time past Bob has been engaged in keep ing time for a force of men under MT. Jenkins, on Santa Fe work east of Gallup. While here, we under stand, Bob's talk was very much along political lines.
 A party of local men started out Thursday on an extended prospect ing trip, and expect to be absent for several months. They are F. R. Nellis and son John, Bert Adams and Tom Barney. Leaving here they will head southwest and ex- pect to spend the winter on the desert. More extended mention of the proposed trip will be made in the next issue.
 Last Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. J. P. Parker, she, as sisted by Mrs. Geo. H. Barney, en- tertained a number of the members of the Rathbone Sisters lodge at a luncheon. The guests were: MT. and Mrs. J. C. Phelan. MT. and Mrs. G. V. Hoopengarner, MT. and Mrs. F. w. Smith, Miss Dunn, Miss Anna Barney; Messrs. John Doyle, Tom Barney, Roy Barney and AL bert Smith.
 See those beautiful dolls at the Racket Store before you buy. Prices very low.
 c. M. Wolf the first of the week purchased from Mike Robinson the property south of town for years past known as the "Rowe Llace." It is said the price ranged around 5000, and it is certainly a good
  piece of property for the money. Mir. Wolf will probably go into the sheep business, using the place as his headquarters, if he can make satisfactory arrangements with the reserve officials.
 William Friedlein, the timer and plumber of Flagstaff, has had a force of men engaged on the work of putting a new tin roof on the Arizona Central bank building in the city during the past week. The work was begun, or at least pre-, parations were made to that end some time since, but the bad wealth CT put stop to their efforts. Mr. Friealein has been assisted by Jas. Smith, Harry Wiltse, Freley Frier, Geo. c. Morse and Arthur Wylie.
 A good joke is being told on Geo. Rounseville. Last Tuesday even- ing when the town council met it was discovered that they had no lamp, the electric lights not being at work. Marshal Kennedy and Mayor Nellis called at the Williams Drug Co. store and while the mayor engaged George in conversation and bought something, the marshal blew out one of the lamps and quietly carried it away. The lamp was also returned without George get ting onto what had happened, yet in speaking of the occurrence he said: "I knew at the time was being jobbed, but I couldn't get on to what was doing"
 Supt. E. J. Gibson, Trainmaster Kinucan, Chief Dispatcher J. D. McCully of the Santa Fe at Wins low, and Conductor w. B. Plumb, of Williams. and Engineer O. L. Kendall of the Grand Canyon branch of the Santa Fe, constituted a popular bevy of railroad men who were in the city on Saturday to take the thirty second degree of Ancient and Accepted order of Masonry. After the lodge work, the class, nine in number, seated themselves around large table at the Alvarado and partook of ban quet. Cony T. Brown, who admin istered the thirty-second degree to the class, also returned to his home at S0nnrro Sof A1L,.

GrOaned the Wife POisOuer When He Heard His Doom = He Wants no New Trial, no Appeal, Nothing but tO Swing.

Chicago. May 19.-Johann Hoch. who by his own confession is several times a bigamist and who is charged by the police with having married at least forty women in the past fifteen years. was found guilty of murder and the death penalty was recommended by the jury in Judge Kersten's court. The crime for which Hoch will be led tO the gallows was the murder Of his last known wife. Mrs Marie Walcker Hoch.
 HOch had been married to this wroui- an but few days when she became suddenly i'll and died He then formed an alliance with the sister of the dead woman and, securing the latter's mon ey, fled from Chicago. This woman in quest of revenge notified the police that Hoch had poisoned her sister. and a search for HOch was begun. He was found two weeks later in New York and brought back to Chicago and con fronted by several of his supposed wives. During the trial expert testi- mony was offered by the state that HOch had poisoned the woman by ad- ministering arsenic.

COMMISSIONER TESTIFIES
He Pays His Respects to John D.
 Rockefeller.

Washington, May 19.-Both sides of the rate hearing question were repre- scented at a session today of the senate committee on interstate commerce. Interstate Commerce Commissioner Judson Clements was the star witness, detailing the difficulties that confront ed the commission in it's work and re- pudiating the attacks made on that body, particularly answering a number of criticisms by James J. Hill. Satis- faction with the present conditions was attested by Frederick L. Lyster. Fredonia, Kansas, and others.
 Commissioner Clement spoke sarcas- tically of the claim that only traffic men have the knowledge necessary to make rates and he declared that in the hearings an effort had been made to turn the investigation into a crit icism of the commission, MT. Clements saying that it was not intended in the proposed legislation to confer a general rate making power on the commission. In answering questions of MT. Deliver MT. Clements declared that the decis- ion in the maximum rate cases which held that the power allowed to be ex- ercised would give the authority to fix all rates. went too far. The com mission he said, would deal with the complaints as they were made.
 Commissioner Clements in referring to statement of Prof. Meyer of Chicago University, whom he called a 'doctrin- aire.' suggested that there was "an ar istOcracy of wealth which could hire men to advocate the theory of vested rights against the rights of individ- uals.' and he asserted that "the patron saint of the institution to which Prof Meyer belongs had a colossal fortune built up by rebates enabling him to obtain the property of his competit- ors. He said that in the press and colleges were found advocates of the superiority of vested rights.

A RUSSIAN NAVAL BASE.
French Opinion That RojestVens<y
 Has Established One.

Paris, May 19.-Apparently the com plete disappearance of the Russian far eastern fleet leads to the belief either that battle is imminent or that Ad- miral Rojestvensky has succeeded in establishing a naval base. On the other hand, it is pointed out here that the position of the fleet on May 16, in latitude 1890 and longitude 11.30 indi- cates that it might have been decided to follow the course north of LuZon in to the Pacific instead of going through the Straits of Formosa, where Togo is believed to be awaiting Admiral RO- jestvensl1y.
 It is maintained that the Japanese difficulties have been increased by their inability to determine whether the Russians are proceeding unitedly or have divided their fleet into two squad rons.
 Some experts maintain that the fleet has been divided for the purpose of permitting one division to reach Vladivostok while the other occupies the attention of Admiral Togo. Naval circles here are disposed to criticise Japanese tactics in failing to harass Rojestvensky's transports during the lengthy period of taking on supplies. The results of Rojestvenskys move ments are being awaited with intense interest in official quarters.

STORM A FREE MAN
A Verdict of ACquittaI
 Found Yesterday
Jury Was out Twenty.four Hours. Its Standing at Various Stages of the DeliberatiOn.

Prescott, May 19-(SpeciaD- County Treasurer James P. Storm, in dicted for the embezzlement of the more than $13.0O0, is again a free man. The jury today, after having been out twenty-four hours returned a verdict of not guilty. Storm was discharged. The jury stood at first, five for convic- tion and seven for acquittaI. A little later there was a change, there being eight for acquittal and four for convic- tion.
 On ballot at noon today there were eleven for acquittal. The next ballot resulted in an agreement.
 This is the second trial of the case in the former one the jury having dis agreed. This case had it's beginning on the evening of November last. when the defendant claimed that as he was getting ready to close the treasurer's office he was set upon by two strangers. bound with wire and forced into the vault. After having taken all the cash in the vault the strangers left. The defendant was found when his daughter, who was er- ployed in the office opened it the fol- lowing morning.
 At the first trial the jury disagreed. The trial just closed resulted in no new disclosures Of an essential char acter and it had been the general be- lief that the jury would either acquit or fail to agree.
 The case was submitted Wednesday.

THE UNSEEN RACERS.
No Word Yesterday From the Eleven
 Contestins Yachts.

Newport R. l., May 19.-NO craft re- sembling any of the fleet of eleven yachts sailing from Sandy Hook to the Lizard for the trophy offered by Emepror William of Germany, has been sighted by the Nantucket light ship since last midnight, when a white square rigged vessel, believed to be Earl of Crawford's Valhalla was seen. according to wireless messages re- ceived at the station here during the day and tonight.
 It is believed that all of the yachts passed the lightship in the fog that prevailed yesterday and last night and that the Valhalla was last to pass.
 At nine o'clock tonight there was d favorable breeze for races and it was thought that all of them were well out on their transatlantic voyage.

The weather has cleared, and the roads washed out by the recent rains are im> passable quagmires, but they will soon dry.
 The present truce is expected to be broken by the Japanese. They are showing every evidence of a prepara- tion to assure the offensive, constantly shifting positions and pressing the Russian left where the cavalry forces are daily exchanging shots. The dem onstration on the Russian left, howev CT is probably only the feint to cover the real stroke at the right. This is thought more probable because of the care with which the Japanese are screening the movements on their right using Chinese bandits freely for this purpose.
 The attempts of the Russian scouts to pierce the curtain have not been sue CeSsful.
 Profting by past experience a new system for transportation of wounded men from the battlefield by means of pack horses has been organized. The experiments have shown good results.

Whereabouts of ROjestven-
 Sky'S Squadron
WILLRFACH VLADlVOSTOK
So Sure Are the Russians of It That Admiral Birileff Will Leave for That Threatened Place to Assume Supreme Command.

St. Petersburg, May 19.-Vice-Ad- miral Birileff, who has been named for the supreme naval command in the Pacific, will leave for VladivOstok on May 25, to assume charge there and make preparations for repairing and refitting the vessels of Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet when they arrive.
 By imperial command Vice-Admiral Birileff will have all the rights and powers of a commander of the army, and the commander of the Vladivos- tOk garrison will be subject to his ders, thereby avoiding the possibility of any conflict of authority in case of a seige as at Port Arthur.
 ''I have no intention of relieving Vice Admiral Rojestvensky of immediate command of the fleet if he is is well and able to perform his duties on his arrival at Vladivostok," said Admiral Birileff, who is small of stature and scant of hair, but keen and alert in bearing. "I have a high respect for his qualifications as a fleet commander, and there will be plenty for us both to do.''
 Admiral Birileff, who, in spite Of his siXty-four years. is OverfiOwing with energy and has the reputation of being a strict disciplinarian. He expressed himself hopefully over the prospects for Russians in the coming naval en- counter. He said he believed the Rus sian Pacific fleet was destined to restore the supremacy of the sea, which was lost at the very outbreak of the war.
 The departure of the new reinforcing squadron, consisting of the battleshipS Slava and Alexander II, two cruisers and number of torpedo boat de- strOyers and gun boats, the admiral said, is fixed for the middle of June. Vice-Admiral Verelago has succeeded Birileff in command of the Baltic sta tion but it has not been determined whether he will take out the new squadron.
 Vice Admiral Birileff's own departure will lack the spectacular features of those of -Admirals Makaroff and Skrydloff. and General Kuropatkin, the admiral declaring his intention of Ieav- ing the city quietly and without cere- mOny. Reports of Vice-Admiral Ro- jestvensky's breakdown and of his sur !, render Of his command continue in

MIR. LOOMS s1o,ooo CHECK.
The Man Who Cashed it Testifies in
 the Controversy.

Washington, May 19-Secretary Taft has examined a witness in the Bowen Loomis case summoned by him from New York. He was Henry Willard Bean, now a resident of New York, who was agent in Caracas. of the New York and Bermudez Ashpalt com pany, when MT. LOomis was the Amer ican minister there.
 He was called by Secretary Taft to testify concerning a $10,0O0 check cashed for MT. Loomis by the asphalt company which MT. Loomis states was merely a matter of exchange.
 Secretary Taft is now awaiting the submission by MT. Loomis of his reply to MT. Bowen's statement.

A RUSSIAN COMPLAINT.

St. Petersburg, May 19.-Russian newspapers call attention to the indif- ference with which the powers con- template the danger involved in navi- gating far eastern waters owing to the Japanese floating mines, contrasting this with the harsh criticism earlier in the war when the Russians planted mines outside of Port Arthur. The Novoe Vremya says:
 Although seven ships were blown up during the last fortnight, the Brit ish press, so vigilant wherever the seas are concerned, does not utter a word of reproach against its ally
