EYTINGE ARRIVES
 AT PENlTENTIARY

PHOENIX. June 19.-Louis V. Eyt- inge has made his second trip from Phoenix to Yuma. The first time he was a fugitive from justice, flying from Phoenix. The second time he was going to the Yuma penitentiary to serve 2 life sentence tor the mur- der of John Leicht.
 On the night of March r Eytinge passed through Yuma, hurrying into California to there hide himself and escape arrest for staying Leicht. Three months later, lacking one day, Eytinge was taken from the train at Yuma and placed in prison.
 Strange as it may seem to the per son who has a horror of prison bars, Eytinge welcomed his removal from the Maricopa jail to the territorial 1 penitentiaTy. At Yuma he will have some freedom, being able to spend a | part of the day in the sunshine. But l 'n Phoenix he was kept in his cell, his greatest freedom being an occasional
 walk in the jail corridor.
 Shorn of his luxuriant locks and | garbed in the stripes of prison uni form, Eytinge's appearance changed
 wonderfully. But cutting his hair and 1 changing his clothes has not robbed
 him of his powers of conversation. Sheriff Hayden states that Eytinge expressed no regret at being taken to
 Yuma. On the train from Phoenix ] to the prison Eytinge talked continu- f ally, declaring his innocence, denounc-
 ing District Attorney Bullard, and
 boasting of his ability as a forger,
Bisbee daily review., 1907-06-20

but positively declaring his innocence of the murder of John Leicht.
 Eytinge will remain in the territo- rial pen while his attorneys carry an appeal to the Supreme Court. If they fail, it means that the rest of his nat ural life must be spent behind prison bars. Prison bars do not daunt Eytinge; 'he has been behind them several times.
 By his lofty ways Eytinge has lost the friendship of ''Tamale Sam" Be fore the latter was sent to Yuma prison recently Eytinge was one of his pals. But when Eytinge reached the penitentiary he snubbed "Tamale Sam" and the latter told Sheriff Hay den that he has not had anything to hurt him to such an extent in recent years. Sam thinks Eytinge has be come more exclusive because he is more of a criminal than Sam.
 Sheriff Hayden saw several other prisoners who have been sent from here, and they are all enjoying good health. Most of them make good prisoners, so Superintendent Tom Rynning told Hayden.
 Sheriff Hayden returns with one pleasing memento of the trip. It is an elegant hat band, fastened with a silver buckle. It was given him by Orlando Douglas. Hayden states that the prisoners are now making $200 a month from the sale of their handiwUrk. The hair Tor belts, Dands and other such articles is obtained from the big packing houses in Chi cago.

PASTOR HANDcUFFED,
 MERCILESSLY FL0GGED

FULTON, Ky, June 19-Rev. Frank Morton Hawley. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and a most high ly respected divine. of this city, was horsewhipped at midnight by W. W. Meadows, a leading capitalist, and driven from the city under threats of death. The flogging, which has ere ated the most profound sensation ever known in Fulton's history, came as an aftermath to the divorce suit of Mrs. Meadows, who but few days ago filed petition for divorce, alleging cruelty.
 Rev. Hawley came to Fulton some two years ago from Charlottesville, N C., and was a most popular young minister until a recent scene in the Hotel Meadows, when he was publicly denounced by Meadows as the wrecker of his home and forbidden further entrance to his household. The di- vorce suit followed, and Hawley left the city.

High Toned Thief, Engaged to Prominent Lady, Caught Through His Own Careless ness with Foot Covering,

PHILADELPHIA, June 1s.-Johp NJ. Parker, well-dressed young man, who has been in this city for three weeks, posing as the son of a rich man, while he worked himself into the graces of pretty Miss Marie Gallagher, a West Philadelphia girl, who was to be his bride, has come to grief.
 Through his own carelessness in getting drunk and wearing a pair ot overshoes on a clear day, he brought to the attention Of the police the fact that he was a notorious burglar and a former associate of Edward and John Riddle, who made a sensational escape from prison in Pittsburgh sev eral years ago.

ALLEGED TOO MUCH PEI.
 SICkEK HE CHILDREN.

LOS ANGELES, June 19.-Pie, se- ductiye pie, apple, peach. custard, CO., eoanut and what not, seems likely to accomplish the downfall of the pupils of the Highland Park public school.
 This subject of pie and it's effect on the digestive tracts (they call it "tummy') of the pupils is as old as the school department, but it is far from being settled, as teachers, mem bers of child study circles, and the pupils themselves can testify.
 The agitation in Highland Park flows in two channels. The teachers who in one day last week administer ed to 10 fewer than five children sui. feTing from ache of the digestive ap- paratus,' are alarmed for the health of their charges. Members of the child study circles blame the moth. CTS. who, instead of putting up a wholesome lunch for their children send them to school with five cents each, this sum to be expended at a vendors wagon for half an indigessi bic pie.
 Nils Carlotta Thornton, principal oi the school, says that she fears dire results from the pie diet. she bases her alarms on the fact that almost every day from one to five sufferers finds his or her way to the couch iT the principals room, there to mourn the presence of the pie. While the vendors are not allowed to approach the portals of the scnOoL they are never far distant at hours for recess ! Then a hasty purchase, a more hastE swallowing and then-aches.

 IT HAS BEEN SWlNDLED

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 19.-Chas. D. Montague, a metallic furniture ex- pert. testified before the capitol in- vestigating commission today that the state had not only been grossly over charged for metallic furniture supplied by the Pennsylvania Construction company. under the s2.000.000 con tract with the Board of Grounds and Buildings. but that he bored into the 'burglar-proof vault in the State Treasurer's office in four hours with an ordinary eightiIch breast driIl.
 Mir Montague said the four safes in the capitol. for which the concern was paid s66 900 by the state, were worth only $27 900. and that there is no chrome steel or steel rails in the vault only ordinary steel. which any one could bore into with ease. As to the metallic furniture, the expert said the state vas charged excessive prices. He said the first floor metal lie furniture, which cost s229, ,23i, was worth only s132,103

 Charles H. Bohl, who came east from Arizona three months ago, sent a bullet into his head in Central Park near the Seventy-second street en- trance yesterday morning. Disap- pointment, poverty and the belief that he had been done out of his little say ings by New Yorker led to his sui eide
 Bohl left q note addressed to Fran cis Aubrey of IF Wayerly Place. Au- brey was formerly in the jewelry busi ness in a small way here. Bohl paid him $500 and gave notes for the rest of the money. The first note was due in a few days. and the westernei had not made success in New York He and his wife lived in flat in tht Bronx. and as their money slipped away from them for living expenses and no profits came from their little investment Bohl became depressed.
 Please do mot bring me home ts the house of my poor wife" he wrote in a letter found on his body. "Sht has had trouble enough during the last year. Take me to some cheal undertaken and have me buried il potters field; or, if some one likes t' pay for me. have me cremated a Fresh Pond"
 Tn the letter Bohi referred to Ei' business troubles. and laid the blam' for his death on Aubrey.
 'Tf am found dead, he wrote, ''yol may notify MT Francis Aubrey of II Waverly Place, New York, as a kin' remembrance of me. He the mal who drove me to suicide and my poo family into distress and poverty"
 When interviewed by Coroner Shra dy, Aubrey said that, quite eontrar! to Bohl's letter, he had done the bes he could to help Bohl, and had ot tered to assist him in selling his stoei If he would pay the first note. Au brey said lie had been told by Boh that he would think it over. The nex be heard was that Bohl had killed him self.
 The wife of the Arizonan soon learn ] ed of the death of her husband. Sh identified the body at the morgue.

H|BERN|AkS BUILD HOME IN ONE DAY
Order Turns Out and Helps Widow of One of Its
 Former Members.

LOS ANGELES, June 19.-A new building record was made for Los An geles yesterday by the erection of modest cottage on East Jefferson street In a single day there was a change from an unsightly vacant lot to a neat bit of land, within pretty cot tage home of five rooms upon it and the whole surrounded by an attractive wire fence.
 No costly shaft of granite pointing skyward-equals this unpretentious structure as a practical monument of love and sympathy. It was built by a group of good Samaritans,' dis glIised as mechanics, and though the Sabbath passed and they had attended no house of worship they went home last night with the consciousness of duty well done.
 It was labor of love in the inter- ests of widow and orphans. The me chanics were a lot of big-hearted Irish men, members of the Hibernians, and employees of the city water depart ment.
 Five weeks ago Patrick Connolly. ! for five years an employe of the wa ter department, died at the Sisters ! Hospital. In acting as peacemaker. he received blow which resulted fatally. 4 negro teamster had attacked flag man at Third and Alameda streets, | when Connolly urged the negro not to ] kick a man when he was down. He was himself struck by the brute. Tn l falling, his head hit on rock. causing | concussion of the brain. Death ensued [ on May 14.
 i Connolly left widow and one small daughter. Their only resource was the vacant lot at No. S33 East Jeffer- son street
 To provide this family the Hiber- nians. Of which order Connolly was a member, did valiant work Sunday Attorney J. W. Carrigan. president of i the Hibernians. Assistant Superiuten. l dent Theodore Brooks and B. E. Fancy ! of the water department, conceived the plan and s700 were raised for the 1 building material. Then volunteers were called for co assemble it. Treas urer Hugh J. Smith of the Hihernians handled the finances, and Chris Hick man was a prominent mover in the | work. They were assisted by thirty able mechanics.
 Today Mrs. Conneily will occupy the home. It lacks painting and pa pering, hut this lack will soon he sun piled. Each room in the cottage i: twelve feet square. Sinks and plumb ing have been installed, three hvdrant
 placed in the yard, a cessDool dug and a chickeuhouse built. And it wa all done in enc day.
 One of the Hihernisus last night
 carried some of his choice hens and
 setting of eggs to the place.
 By this act of charity two home
 have raa1lv been provided. Since he husbands death. Mrs. Connolly ha
 been at the hoCe of her sister. Mrs
 Andrew Gillesnie. on East Turne
 street Mrs. Turner was left widow
 only two months a~O and she has twt small children. The sisters will liv, together. and have arranged that on, l shall care for the home and the othe provide for means of livelihood.
