ILLEGAL ISSUE
Of KEY WEST
SCRIPT
Duplicate Stamp and Script
Book Used in Frauds
Fraudulent Issue May
Aggregate 100000.

The Key West authorities are leav-
ing no stone unturned to get at the
truth of the great fraud in the issue
of illegal script that has been uoated
in the past years. Some time ago
when the SCRIPT was being checked
up it was discovered that there were
erasions on the disbursement book
This matter is now cleared up.
| In the search for evidence to prose-
cute ex-City Clerk Joseph Curry the
officials made a discovery on Friday
which shows that the issue of bogus
script has been far greater than was
ever dreamed of In fact, it is now
admitted that the fraudulent issue
may reach the stupendous figure of
100000.
Duplicate Stamp Used.
In scrutinizing the script presented
it was found that some of it was
stamped George L. Bartlum," mayor.
This led to a closer examination, and
it was found that this stamp was not
the one used by Mr. Bartlum, but
duplicate. The same was true of the
stamp of the chairman of the finance
committee. Then a comparison of the
warrants were made and it was found
that another book bearing the same
numbers of the regular book had been
used.
l. 1t is plainly evident that the dupli-
! cate stamps were orderd that script
book was also ordered. 1t was a dupli-
cate of the regular book and contained
1000 blank warrants The stubs of
this book cannot be found, and it is
thought possible that the entire book
was used and the stubs destroyed.
Just what amounts these warrants
were made out for will not be known
until presented for payment.
This discovery accounts for the
large number of erasureS on the dis
bursement book Script already paid
was duplicated and then the cancel
lation marks on the book were erased
so that there would be no question
when the bogus script came in for
payment.
Thousands of Dollars.
1 Thousands of dollars of this script
| is no waffoat on the market, and il
|, is more than likely that every holder
of script has scme of it.
1t was reported that Mr.. Curry
J would go before the criminal court
and plead guilty to the charges
against him, but this is not true. Mr.
Curry is still confident that he car
go before a jury and be acquitted. The
: cause of the report is said to be that
friends of Mr. Curry intimated to him
to plead guilty before Judge L. Y
Bethel, of the criminal court, and get
light sentence and then seek a par
don, but Mr.. Curry refused to enter
tain the suggestion. The next session
of the court will take place in Novem
Der, when it is likely the case will
come up.

In the case of the Territory VS.. w
B. Kelly, of the Bisbee Review, in
dicted for criminal libel, the demurrer
to the indictment was sustained by
Judge Doan on the ground that is was
faulty and did not negative the allega-
tons contained in the alledged libel
Gus article that was made part of the
indictment. Attorney Fleetwood also
asked the court to have the securities
on the bond exhonorated and the case
dismissed. This was resisted by
District Attorney Flanagan and the
court held that the article as published
was not libelous under the indictment
returned, therefore the case was dis
missed. We congratulate Brother Kel-

in the sides of the Standard Oil octu-

and startle the country with message
favoring tariff revision-not revision

elections
Representative Williams, the minor
ity leader, has evidently heard some
thing of the intended coup, for in clos
ing his speech the other day he pointed
to the "leaders of the cohorts of stand
pattism," and wondered what would
happen to them, "when toward the tail
end of the session, or during the next
session of congress, the man in the
White House who carried your party
to victory, rather than the party car
ried him-shall send a message to this
house to revise and reduce the tariff!
1t is in the air that he wanted to do it
before this" Imagine the perturba-
ton of Hepburn, McCleary, Dalzell,
Payne, Lands and even Uncle Joe
himself-at the reception of such a
message! But then, their distress
would be the least of the president
troubles. He would rather enjoy it.
He likes,to iead-and to drive! And he
perhaps understands better than the
Bourbons of his party the truth of
of Mr.. Williams closing words: LET

LARGE LAND OWNERS MUST SELL

The large land owners in Salt river
valley probably regret that they ever
favored the government irrigation pro-
ject for the valley, since by the ruling
of Secretary Hitchcock of the Interior
department individuals and companies
who signed as members of the Water
Users association to participate in the
benefit expected from the building of
the Tonic dam, and who own more land
under the Salt river irrigation system
than 100 acres, will be compelled to sell
the excess or convey such lands by deed
of trust to the Water Users associa-
ton, to be sold by that organization to
bona fide settlers on or before the date
of delivery of water from the reservoir
to such lands.
According to the Enterprise there are
now in the Salt river valley under the
Tonic reservoir signed up many thous-
ands of acres that will be affected by
this ruling. Chandler and company
have signed with the association 10000
acres, W. j. Murphy 5000 acres. The
Arizona Water company and the Arizona
Canal company, both owned by the
same people, 5000 acres; Hamilton and
company of Glendale $500 acres, and
also about fifty individuals who have
signed $40 acres each. All of them
must change. The association must be
made trustee for all excess lands
with power to sell, or they must make
the transfer themselves.
While the effect of this order of the
secretary's may in the end prove bene-
fetal, it seems probable that it's en-
forcement will work hardship on land
owners, as the forced sale of thousands of
acres of farming land must seriously at
feet values in Salt river valley, and be
detrimental to the owners of small
holdings who want to sell, as well as
to the owners of large tracts.

the promoters of that sort of business
still consider it profitable risk, not

possess an irresistible fascination for

The regents of the university have
done the right thing in excluding from
the university students from cities of
the territory having more than 5000
population, who have not completed the
work of the ninth grade. The resolu-
ton adopted by the regents is especial
ly aimed at Tucson which has been
sending children from the eighth grade
of the public schools to the university,
thus avoiding the necessity of main
tanning high school. The university
has not only suffered on account of the
expense incurred in teaching these
children but in prestige also, as the

been lowered. 1t is time that irstitu-
