 It's Completion.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 19,-Special.)- the brick wall of the Douglas i'm provement company's office last night for the purpose of gaining the inside of the office vault. A hole was cut through the wall of Sae building, but missed the vault about two feet An other hole was sfarsec which would have gwen passage to inc vault at the rear of the office. Alter drilling fifteen inches into the vault wall the work was abandoned
 This morning when the men in the office of the Douglas Improvement company went into the supply room in the rear of the business office the discovery was made that burglars had gained an entrance into that room by cutting hole through the east wall of the building.
 It was evidently the intent of the burglars to cut the hole where 1t which the wall of the building forms the west side: fhe vault connects with the business office

DOUGLAS LOCAL. . < 2 . . 4 2 . < q . c . : . ( ( MATERIAL FOR MEXICO.

Three fat cars loaded with railroad construction material. consisting prin- cirally of grading carts. shipped to Douglas by the Southern Pacific and consigned to Nacozari. are Tn the yards of the Southwestern here. II is stated that this shipment is only one of many which will be coming in soon to be sent to Nacozarl.
 There is TO question that the South. ern Pacific Is sending this material into Mexico and that Nacozari is it's destination. This. together with the fact that an agent of the Southern Pa- ciiic system has been in the city for several days and in view of the keen rivalry between the Phelps-Dodge and the Hartman interests, is certainly significant and looks as if the Sortjl. ern Pacific means to begin wora 0n its concession south of NacozarI.
 The agent of the Southern Pas c here is H. T. Greene He is now n Sonora and is expected back shortly.
 is stated he will be located here Tor some time receiving railroad sup plies and getting them through to Nacozari

 After viewing the remains the jury repaired to the justice office where the testimony of the conductor and motor man. who had charge of the car at the time of the accident. was taken.
 H. P. LaGrange, the motorman, tes- tified that he was in charge of the motor when Rogers fell from the car; it was his second trip and he had nev- CT been motorman lefore Saturday He said before reaching the curve in the track at the far end of Pirtlevllle Mir Rogers came up 10 his side and asked him to stop the car; he told Rogers to see the conductor as be eculd only stop when the bell rang Rogers went back into the car, but soon returned and said he could not find the conductor and said he would ring the bell; I told him not to do il; i; he then stepped to the door of the car and 1 did not notice him again: did not see him fall or strike the post the car was going pretty fast when it struck the curve. as Rogers talk ing 10 me had attracted my attention and I got nearer the curve than thought l was before trying 10 slow up and then the rails were covered with frost.
 E. Anderson. tho conductor, told about the same story as the motor man. He said Mr. Rogers had been in the habit of getting off at the curve as the car always slows up as it an breaches the curve. Rogers did not ask Anderson to stop the car. An derson stated that Rogers was struck by the pole while he was yet on the car.
 After taking this testimony the jurv decided that it wanted to hear evi dence from others who were on the car when the accident occurred and the inquest was adjourned until [ fhir

larger shipments of breadstuffs, main
ly wheat and the beginning of the de-
layed cotton export movement. The
two items expanded "a and 20 per cent
respectively over October a year ago.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says: Trade expands under
the stimulating influence of colder
weather and mercantile collections are
improved, although rates for money
continue high.
Seasonable lines OF wearing apparel
and holiday goods attract most atten-
ton, while staple articles of every de-
scription are In steady demand. Cur
rent business is good and prospects for
the future were never brighter. Tho
most striking development of the week
was the unprecedented output of pig
iron in conjunction with large imports
and advancing prices, indicating the
greatest activity ever attained by steel
mills.
Recovery in wheat had the additional
support of unsatisfactory receipts at
the Northwest, and although the small
movement was probably due in large
measure to the car shortage. IL gave
rise to smaller estimates of the crop
in spring wheat States Flour output
continues to make a poor comparison
with the milling returns of year
ago. An official statement further in
creasing the estimated corn crop pre-
vented the cereal from participating
fully in the upward tendency of prices.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 17.-The transfer of
Japanese commerce from San Francisco
to other coast ports unless San Fran
cisco changes it's attitude regarding
Japanese students was predicted today
by James E. Smith, Japanese Consul in
st. Louis.
TT would take a great deal now to
invoke any hostile action by Japan
against the United States, owing to
the friendly feeling prevailing" said
Consul Smith. but Japan would not
hesitate to get even with San Fran
cisco in the event that the action Of
the school authorities remained in
force. However. such action Is not
probable now, as San Francisco is vfo-
lating the agreement between the ma
tions, and must act as the Govern
ment says. About IS per cent of the
product of Japan is shipped to America
Japanese students should be al
lowed to attend the schools in San
Francisco the same as they do in all
other cities in the United States. Some
Of the most prominent men in Japan
have been educated in the United
States. Take Baron Kaneka, for In
stance. who ranks among the leading
constitutional lawyers in the world
He was educated at Harvard Univer-
sity."

more advances in wages, satisfactory

MANY DISAPPOINTED. Had Waited All Night to Get Tickets
 to See Ellen Terry,

London, June 12.-The all night vigil of the admirers of Miss Ellen Terry who were anxious to get into Drury Lane theater and witness her jubilee matinee performance this af- ternoon ended in the disappointment of hundreds, who after braving a twenty-four hours wait outside the pit and gallery doors failed to obtain admittance. The doors were opened at 10:30 a. m. to admit the crowd of enthusiasts and for few minutes the scene resembled a football scrim- age. Then came the word that the house was full and policemen moved on the crowds whose Spartan patience had failed to secure the hoped for re- ward.
 Probably such a galaxy of stage talent was never before seen in con- bination as occupied the boards of Drury Lane. Signora Duse, Mme Re- jane and the two Coquelins came over from France and Mime Melba and Sig nor Caruso were down for songs. while the feature of the many sided program was the cast of the first act of Much Ado About Nothing" in which twenty-three members of the Terry family, headed by Ellen Terry herself, appeared.

 There are several clever crooks said to be in town to-day and the people are warned about being careful in a crowd this evening. All houses should be firmly locked as the thieves may endeavor <o get in some of their work tonight. With such a crowd in the center as was there early this fore noon 1t was a very easy thing for clever pickpocket to get in his work and the police give the public the warning to hang on to their mazuma tonight.

READY FOR THE TRIP
The Fleet of Torpedo Boats At Norfolk Will Soon Stalt For the Philip
 pine Islands
MAY HAVE TO TOW THEM

Washington, June 12.-The navy
 department has been notified that
 the little fleet of,torpedo boats which
 has been gathered at Norfolk for tho purpose of being sent out to the Philippines has been completed, so far as the constructors and engineers are concerned, and the boats are now to be put through course of trials to ascertain any weakness or faults so that these may be corrected on the home station at minimum ex- pense. These trials will probably occupy at least four months.
 There are also some problems to be solved in the voyage of these It. tie boats across the four seas, upon which the famous cruise of Con- mander Chandler's mosquito fleet throws no light. That fleet was made up of torpedo boat destroyers. much larger boats than those about to be sent over, and consequently with much greater steaming radius, the most important consideration on such voyage. The boats of the new fleet are all simple torpedo boats, the Bagley, Barney, Riddle, Tingey, Thornton and Shubrick, averaging in only about 165 tons, or a little more than a third of the de- stroyers. So 1t is believed that 1t may be necessary to assist the little boats by towing them when their coal supply runs low and the weather is such that they cannot be coaled from the conveying ship, and experI- ments will be made before the fleet sails to determine the ability of the ship to handle the boats In towing line. After the experi- ment of the first fleet and of Con- mander Hosley with the dry dock Dewey, the naval officers believe that they can accomplish almost anything In that direction.
