Rosenberger know right at the start that
If some lawyers knew as much as he
(MacMshone) did. they would not be
bothering with such small case. He
said that he went out OF the lumber bus
mess two years ago and went 10 work for
the Metropolitan Surety Company.
What do you do now?" the lawyer
asked him.
II go around insuring contractors who
are trying TO get money out of the city
and are getting stung," he said. in a sat
isfed manner.
The witness said that when he was in
the lumber business he dealt with Mr
Vanderbilt, and that Mr.. Vanderbilt knew
more about his (MaCMahOne's business
than he did. He never heard about Bright
Eyes and did not take any stock in
spirits
DO you know anything about Thun-
dercloud, White Rose, Vedanta philos-
ophy. or the Yogi philosophy" he was
asked.

wanted to conceal her Identity when she
testified Thursday She did not seem par
ticularly grieved over it to-day, and made
little talk to the reporters after she had
written this statement:
The papers have published that I am
an enemy Of Mrs. Pepper. 1 wish TO state
that / am the best friend she has. / am
fond OF the woman, and will at any time
prove IT, l am not, however, a friend of
anything that Will lower or degrade my
friend. I love the woman. but hate her
religion and what it produces
Declares 1t Hoax.
In addition 10 the statement, Miss
Darrell said:
Il have been investigating spiritual
istic mediums for some time. About
forty of them have come under my
observation. The spiritualistic end of
it is all a hoax, but most mediums have
some psychic power. That is the case
with Mrs. Pepper. She would go into
a meeting without knowing whether
her psychic power was going TO ma
terialize or not. II it did not, she had
a list of persons for whom il was ar
ranged she should read"
Miss Darrell would not say anything
about herself further than that she is
a greats granddaughter of Ethan Allen.
Some Of Mrs PepDer's friends said to
day that Miss Darrell posed as her
friend in order TO get material for

CORRUPTION FUND
 REPORTED IN PHOENIX
Scandal in Legislature Owe Measure to Lengthen Of-
 fiCiaI Terms.

The following was sent as a specia wire to the Prescott Journal-Mi under date of March 12:
 Yesterday bill was intrduced for the extension of the term of office of all present county officers to four years. and today scandal has broken out regarding the measure.
 Last night two sheriffs were over heard at the Commercial hotel to re. veal the fact that $500 was to be given certain lobbyist to put the bill through both Houses. Investigation today confirmed this statement, and as result the story is being quietly circulated among the legislators to night.
 The objectionable feature of the bill is that it will increase the tenure or office of the present incumbents. It does not have the support of the of ficials of Yayapai county, for last night District Attorney Morrison and Assessor Tom Campbell declared their opposition to it, and Recorder Brad bury sent word that it would receive his endorsement.
 All the sheriffs of the Territory, however. are behind the bill, but it is doubtful now that it vii! pass, since 1t has become known that a corrup- tion fund has been raised.

GROVER CLEVELAND
 SUBMITTED BRIEF
Ex-President Fears That Leg iSlation in States Will Not
 Help Policy Holders.


 NEW YORK. March 1s.-Al an, nouncement is made today that Grover Cleveland has submitted a brief to ths association of life insurance presidents of which he is the head. in references to certain threatened iesislation which would force them to invest their funds In the various states in proportion to the volume of business transacted in those states.
 The brief says that in many states contemplating such legislation there is normal. healthy demand for nearly all the securities contemplated in the pending bills. which are so absolutely safe and unGuestioned as to excuse life insurance companies for accepting them. as securities for trust fund9. let they are forced 10 purchase in such market. and must. under severs penalties. invest in such securities ag remain after the investors on the ground have made a choice. or pay for those more desirable at a manipu- lated advance. invited by legally ere ated necessities.
 Mir. Cleveland questions that this legislation Is framed in the interest of policy holders.
 'Tt cannot be made to appear" he says. that 1t would in any way in- crease the security of policies. while on the other hand it is plain that in cases such impairment of securities ss would reach the noint of financial inability to pay on the part of the companies. their policy holders. of ali men in the world. would be the mad dest and the most pitably helpless vic ttms. How policy holders can be ben efited or made more secure by merely forcing money into B state by way Of investments. no legislation can make apparent.
 The only class Of persons who ~ar- haps will be benefited" he says. "sre those who deal in securities. and the manner in which enforced purchases of stipulated and restricted securities could operate to their advantage Is too plain to need reiteration.
 If legislation of this kind should be passed in a number of our states" Cleveland continued. ''it would be en- tirely unreasonable to fear that the inevitable disparity in the amount of investments distributed among these states would give rise to an invidious carping. fault-finding discontent. thus, creating and fostering new occasions for the inharmonious feeling and ad- verse legislative action which upfoT- tunately our present surroundip-s seem to encourage"
 In conclusion, Cleveland appeals for yconity between the states. and comple-s repudiation of any ipclina- ton on the part of any state to Esir an undue. selfish advantage or to in jure . aeighbor.

INSISTS OA EXERCISE
 OF HIS PREROGAT|VE
Phoenician Objects to the Coming of Italian ! Consul.

P. Cota. the consul general of the Italian government at Denver, arrived in Pnoenix yesterday. says the Ca zette. He is here to represent the heirs of the late Joe Tsgnishoni, who died some time ago, leaving consider abic property.
 Before leaving Denver Mir. Cota pro vided himself with every sort of docu- ment to prove that he was the duly appointed representative Of Italy ana tie legally appointed agent of the ~ragnishoni heirs. who reside on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean.
 Consequently he is very mucn sur phised that his authority to act in the matter should be questioned. But 1t has been questioned, and John Bag giore is the man who questions it.
 When MT. Baggiore heard of Cota's presence in Phoenix and his mission here he immediately went to Probate Judge Phillips and asked if Cota's pa pers were to be recognized in the ace of the fact that he, Baggiore, had been the recognized representative of all oriental peoples since Columbus discovered America. He hss always transacted the business Of Italians Tn tkis city. Why, then, should his au- thority be usurped by an interioper?
 Judge Phillips notified both gen tlemen to appear before him and show their credentials. He win then de- eide upon the merits of the case and proceed accordingly. If Baggiore can prove that he has exclusive authority r., frQ opf h,,c fnv- Ttafr Phoenix. as he claims, Mr. Cota will have to go back to Denver. His i'm. posing looking documents will do him To good whatever.
 I willl talk to this man." said Bag giore. If he is a good man l viii give him a champagne supper But if he is a bad man I will take him down to the river and throw him in"
 This controversy calls to mind an other oS similar nature which caused a. great deal of excitement here . couple of years ago. This other con test WAS over the local consulship o; the great empire of Missouri. D. P. Kyle had been the representative of the Missouri government for d great many years, but when Emperor Jo- seph W. Folk mounted the throne R. H. Drane came forward, saying that he had been appointed to success MT. Kyle.
 There was a IoDg and bitter fight over the matter, which was never sat isfactorily settled. MT. Kyle wrote to the palace and got an answer to his communication from Emperor Jo- seph's prime minister, saying that his majesty knew nothing about the Mis- souri consulship for this city.
