believe that free seeds helps them campaign. While seventy-one repub- 1 licans voted for free seeds, seventy-six voted against the appropriation, SO if it had been left to republican votes, it would have been defeated. Of the 1855 members not voting, ninety are republicans and thirty eight demo- crats.
 A further analysis of the vote shows that Alabama. Arkansas, Florida, Geor- gia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
 Missouri, North Carolina, South Caro- {, lima, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia cast seventy eight votes for free seeds
 to six against With the exception of
 Maryland (One) Missouri CtwO) and
 North Carolina (three). every vote cast
 by member of congress from a south ern state was in favor of Free Seeds"
 In the case of the great agricultural states of the north. east, and west, less than a majority of he whole state del egatiOns voted for the appropriation, while in many cases ther were more votes against it than for it. Indiana showed up with five, Illinois with only six Ohio did better with eight, Penn sylvania found ten trusty "free-seed- CTS while Minnesota produced only one. Massachusetts cast seven votes against and only two for Free Seeds got half the Nebraska delegation. but only four votes from Iowa to six against. New York cast fifteen votes against to five votes for, with seven teen members not voting. From this it is apparent that the item was put in the appropriation bill by democratic votes the bulk of which came from the south.
 While there is no politics in the mat ter, those opposed to this distribution will try to get their friends to write to senators and representatives, urging them to vote against the appropriation next session. The National grange, many state and local granges have already adopted resolutions condemn ing the appropriation. and other granges and societies of farmers are expected to do likewise. The press will doubtless continue its hospitality as it has always roundly denounced this form of petty graft.

FOUNDER OF SALOME
 IN JAIL AT PITTSBURG
To Answer for His Stewardship of the Grace Valley Development Co.

Charles H. Pratt the founder of Sa- | lome and the man who located if SO prematurely that he missed the rail- road by about a mile, is now probably In jail by reason of his connection with
 the affairs of the Grace Valley Devel- opment company. which is now in the hands of a receiver. The story of his arrest is told by the Pittsburg Chron- icle:
 Chief Robert G. Robinson of the county detective bureau shortly before noon today received a telegram from County Detective Harry Merit from Cleveland, O., saying that he and his prisoner. Charles H. Pratt. would leave Cleveland at 1:3O o'clock this after noon over the Erie railroad Merit and Pratt will arrive at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad station late this afternoon and Pratt will be placed in jail to await trial upon charges of lar ceny embezzlement and false pre- lenses in which he is accused of having appropriated stocks and money to the amount of $27,5OO. There are three in dictments which he will have to face. all of which were placed before the grand jury without the formality of the arrest of the accused because he A'''u ASAI bliS court JuIlSulCIlOn and
 this was necessary in order that in the
 event of his arrest he could be quickly eXtradted.
 According to a telegram received by Chief Robinson from Chief of Police
 Fred Kohler of Cleveland last night. Pratt said he would come back to Pittsburg without extradition papers. Word of the arrest of Pratt was re-
 ceived late yesterday afternoon by Chief Robinson and Merit was sent at once to bring him back. Preparations were made at once to get requistion papers for Chief Kohler had telephoned Robinson that these would be neces- sary but by d later telegram Robinson was informed by the police chief that Pratt had evidently changed his mind. The infGrmations were made during a period embracing the spring, summer and early autumn of 1905 and since l then the movements of Pratt have been
 followed through several cities, but he had until he reached Cleveland man aged to elude the police, although good
 descriptions of the man wanted were
 sent out by Robinson. Pratt, accord

TWO CITIZENS LOST
 10 THE UNITED STATES
George and Michael York Again Put
 on the Turkish Yoke.

The depressing news reached the of flee of the clerk of the district court in and for MaricOpa county yesterday that the United States had lost two citi- zens in most unusual manner. So far as the local authorities know. the coun- try has never but once before been deprived of a citizen in this way. That was in the case of William w Astor.
 The citizens whose names will now have to be expunged from the voting list of this precinct and all other pre- cincts within the jurisdiction of the United States are Michael and Julius York. The news of their defection reached Phoenix in a roundabout way The information came from Robert Bacon, assistant secretary of the de- partment of state, who had it from the consul general of the United States at Beirut, and who evidently thought that the government here could not learn of it too soon.
 George and Michael York, son and father. after a residence of several years in Phoenix. left early last spring for their former home in Syria It was understood that they intended to make only a short visit there. But evidently after they had been there some time they decided that Abdul Hamid IT, in spite of all that had been said about him in the newspapers. was a pretty good sort Of a fellow after all. There fore, according to the consul general at Beirut, they renounced their allegiance to President Roosevelt and again be- came subjects of Turkey. They were naturalized in this country in 1894. MT Bacon suggests that the officers of the court here take proper action in the matter.

Ing to Robinson, was traced to the Planters Hotel at St. Louis, then 10 New Orleans and from there to Chi cago and finally he arrived at Cleve- land Word that he was there was sent Robinson, who at once tele- graphed to arrest him and the papers to hold him would be sent at once. He was caught yesterday afternoon by Detective Kennedy as he was about to enter his hotel
 The first infOpnation against Pratt was made March 9, 1905. by H. H. Won Schlick. Von Schlicl alleges that Pratt falsely represented to him that in re- turn for a note for S25OO Pratt would give him twenty-five preferred and as many shares of common stock of the Grace Valley Development company. It is alleged that Pratt had the note discounted but Von Schlicll ayers he never got his stock
 :. B. Whinery made an information against Pratt on June 3, 1905, charging larceny ill the first count and larceny by bailee in the second count. It is alleged in this information that Pratt received from the prosecutor a certifi- cate for 5000 shares of stock of the Plttsburg Jerome Copper company on an option Pratt is alleged to have had with another person and on condition that for every share of stock sold by him, Pratt was to turn over to the prosecutor 50 cents of the proceeds. It is contended that Pratt neglected to return the stock or the proceeds and has embedded and appropriated them to his own use.
 In the third information, which was made by II. II. Hoff october 1, 1905, Pratt is charged with larceny in the first count of the subsequent indict- ment secured thereon and felonious embezzlement on the second count. Hoff charges that Pratt as agent of the san Marcus Salome Development com pany received 10000 shares of the com pany's stock to sell and turn over the proceeds to the treasurer, but it is all legged that he turned over neither the proceeds nor the stock and he is charged with embedding them.

GEORGE LEE
 SHOT DEAD Son of Professor W. Il.
 Lee
4 Companion Thought the Gun He Snapped at the Boy Was Empty.

George Lee, the fourteen year old son of Professor w. Fl. Lee, was shot and killed yesterday afternoon at the residence of W. L. Osborn, a mile and half northeast of the insane asylum. The shooting was done by Julius Irions, a companion of about the same age. The boys had been hunting. each carrying a 22 caliber rifle. Having wearied of the sport and, as they thought, had emptied their guns, they started home. Arriving at the resi- dence of MT. Osborn they stopped to play. They chased each other about the place snapping their supposed empty guns at each other. This had been going on for some time when there suddenly came a sharp report and young Lee fell back, the blood gushing from his throat He bled to death in ten minutes
 Dr. l.. D. Dameron was sent for but before his arrival the boy was dead. Young Irions was heart broken over the death of his companion, the result of carelessness which has been prac- uced ever since guns were invented and which in spite of such horrible oc- currences will be practced until guns have passed out of use.
 At the time of the shooting Professor Lee was at the office of the county school superintendent where he is in charge in the absence of Superintend- ent Fulton. Mrs. Lee is spending the summer in West Prescott
 George Lee was a bright and good boy and his sudden death has cast gloom over the community where he lived. An inquest to examIna into and establish ohe circumstances of his death will De held this afternoon.
