The stage is to answer a double pur-

while the skating rink is open, ii takes
the place of the gallery and spectators
will find it more comfortable there and
more out of the way than on the floor

There is more Of history connected
with the opera house than the average
reader would imagine. II looks like a
new building. but in reality most of the
material in it was freighteG into Tenn

main building is what was formerly the
old normal building that W rs purchased
by Mr.. Goodwin some time ago. Much
of the material in the stage was taken
from the old house on Mill Ave, that
formerly stood near the hardware
building but which was removed to
make room for the new G. A. Good

FOUND A DEAD MAN.

Workmen at the Pacific Creamery
plant. east of town. while engaged in
cleaning up ground east of the office,
unearthed an ola yesterday. filled
with the remains of a man. From the
indications the remains had been Gre
mated and then placed in the ola as
all that remained were a few teeth and
portions of bone that had not been
consumed. The ola and its contents
were taken out in perfect shape but
unfortunately part of the ola was
broken off after it had been removed.
1t is a valuable relic of the days be-
fore the white man came to Arizona.

TRUST FIXES COST OF
TUBE SERVICE IN CITY
Amendment to Postal Bill
in Accord With Price
1t Demands

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Senator
Fulton of Oregon, for Senator Crane OF
Massachusetts, presented an amend
ment to the postoface appropriation bill
today providing for the establishment
of the pneumatic tube service in San
Francisco and other cities named in the
last postoffice bill but which were de-
MED the service on account of the in
ability to secure bids from the contract
ing parties for the price fixed by Con-
gress-$17, 900 a mile. Fulton's amend
ment provides that the Government
shall pay $4,000 a mile for the tube
service in cities where the tubes are
less than three miles long, if the cost
of operation does not exceed per cent
Of the gross postal receipts of the city.
The sum of 1,250,000 is appropriated
in Fultons amendment as a direct ap-
preparation and the Postmaster General
is authorized to contract for 2,00O. 600
for such service. This is the figure
demanded by the tube trust and it is
expected that the amendment proposed
by Fulton will occasion lively inter
change of views.

sing all that he knew of that. There

GRAND JURY IS AFTER
DEATHTRAP THEATERs

The Grand Jury will meet in Native
Sons Hall at 1870 o'clock this after
noon and continue its investigation
into the case of the firetrap theaters
of the Davis ilk, which have been
erected with the consent of Mayor
Schmitz, who has shown not the
slightest scruple in permitting places
to be built that defied many particu-
lars of the building ordinance.
At the investigation held last Friday
it was learned that the inspection staff
of the Board of Public Works was in
adequate to the requirements of the
department and the jury will recon-
mend to the Supervisors that addition
al men be assigned to Chief Inspector
Horgan's Office. The bureau is self
supporting and the appointment of new
inspectors will not work a burden on
the taxpayers.
The Commissioners of the Board of
Public Works will appear before the
jury today and explain how the Mayor
infringed on their duty and endan-
gered lives by issuing permits for
temporary theaters Of the deathtrap

SAVES HIS STEAMSHIP
FROM VALENC|A'S FATE
Miowera's Master Stops
Vessel When Nearing
Danger Zone

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb 1S-On
Swiftsure Bank, five miles off the shore
of the west coast of Vancouver Island
and not far from the scene of the
wreck of the steamship Valencia, the
Canadian-Australian liner Miowera,
from Sydney, for Vancouver, lay at s
o'clock last Friday morning. Not GER
tain where he was, but his soundings
showing that he was approaching the
danger zone marked by the skeletons
of many a fine craft, Captain Frank
Hemming decided to lie to till the lift
ing of the fog with daylight. Had he
initiated the carelessness of the master
of the Valencia. it is unlikely that the
Miowera would have been in port to-
day.
The Miowera was behind time on her
run from Honolulu and was making
good progress on Thursday night when
she ran into a heavy bank of fog off
Cape Flattery. This was at 10 o'clock
at night. The Miowera crept along
feeling her way for the entrance to the
strait 1t was not until o'clock on
Friday morning that the soundings
showed that she was on the shoaling
banks off the dangerous west coast.
Rather than take any chances, al
though he believed at the time that he
was about fifteen miles off the coast,
Captain Hemming lay to.

TESTIMONY is REVEALED
Heney Exposes His Case Against Dinal
Sullivan and Ruef


Sullivan and Ruef
kid" Sullivans intimate associa-
tion with Chief of Police Dinan was
fully exposed before the Grand Jury
during the investigation that resulted
il. the indictment of the head of the
force with Abe Ruef for conspiracy in
protecting the house at 712 Pacific
street. Assistant District Attorney
Heney in open court yesterday read
evidence given before the jury by
Dinan and Big" Andrieu which showed
that Sullivan was the agent for the
chief and also that Dick Creighton and
others paid $3.50 a week to Ruef and
500 week to Dinan for the protec-
ton of the Pacific street brothel.
The matter was brought out during
the final arguments on the motion of
Dinan and Ruef to have their indict-
ment set aside on the ground that the
bill was invalid. TIE arguments We're
submitted and Judge Dunno set next
Monday as the time for passing upon
the indictment
Dinan was in court at the time and
had the unpleasant experience of hear
ing Heney read the discriminating tes-
timony adduced before the jury. The
Assistant District Attorney read from
the transcript to prove that he did not
violate his oath by making improper
statements to the jury. Dinan was a
witness, it appeared from the testi-
mony, with shifting memory. When
one question was propounded he would
know nothing about the matter; to the
next he would answer with an abun-
dance of information.
What does Kid Sullivan do?" Heney
had asked in the Grand Jury room.

mot guilty" responded Ruef, in a
low tone, four times.
Now the boss and Mayor Schmitz
nrlst stand trial in the Superior Court
for the four alleged acts of extortion
practiced against French restaurant
Keepers and next Monday is the day
on which the time of trial will be set.
At that time it is expected that Ruef's
codefendant Schmitz, will have re-
turned from his expedition to Washing
ton and he then must plead to the
charges contained in the four indict-
ments ruled upon by Judge Dunno
These are indictments No. 304 to 907,
inclusive The validity of Indictment
No. 303, the first count returned by
the Grand Jury against the Mayor and
his manager, is being considered by the
Supreme Court on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought by SchmitZ. This in
dictment was argued jointly with the
other four true bills and if it is sus-
taihed by the State tribunal Ruef and
mot guilty, to it.
The advance step was not taken
without much incidental hindrance
from Henry Ach and Samuel Short
ridge, counsel for Ruef. Ach had his
usual programme of obstruction. When
the case was first called he moved
that the Judges ruling on the de-
murrers be postponed for week, to
give the Supreme Court more time to
act upon the habeas corpus proceed
ings. This motion was overruled and
then Judge Dunno rendered his deci-
sion on the validity of the Indictment
The court ruled that the indictment
did state a public offense, that the
business of conducting a French res
taurant was ''prnperty' in the legal
sense of the term and that the alleged
threat made by the defendants to pre-
vent the issuance of permit for a
| liquor license unless money was paid
was a threat contrary to the lava
threat of an unlawful injury
| Ach was again on his feet He
claimed that the FIVE separate offenses
charged We're in reality but one, and
he wished to reserve the right of his
client to plead on but one at this time
and on the others after the first trial.
I'VE wish to be able to plead then
either once in jeopardy or prior con-
viction," said Ach.
Motion overruled," said the court
But your honor, may l ask ques-
tion?" continued Ach.

the court.
Then Ruef was given the opportunity
to plead not guilty.

.Oh." Dinan had shouted, don't you
know that he peddles jewelryY
In other instances Dinan's memory
was equally unsteady and 1t nnaily got
him into such a tangle that he was
indicted for perjury as well as for
conspiracy.
Andrieu testified before the Grand
Jury that he had interviewed Dlnan
regarding the opening OF house OF
i'll fame on Fillmore street and that
the chief had told him to see Kid
Sullivan about it. The kid" had set
the price at s100 a week, to be paid
him for those higher up" In addition
he charged a commission of $40 a week
for making the collections.

tell the court now," said Heney after
reading that testimony from the tran
scrint .sbut the Grand Jury may have
already returned indictments against

The part played by Ruef in the open
ing of a place on Pacific street by
Dick Creighton, Wilson. Andrieu and
others was also exposed IN the tesl-
mony read by Heney.
Tn the arguments as to the Ruef-
Schmitz indictment Attorney Short
ridge in behalf of Ruef said that the
court should invoke the ''unwritten
law" in saving the boss on the ground
that Heney had violated the spirit OF
the law by making comments on points
of fact brought out before the Grand
Jury.
