DR.. SWITHIN CHANDLER
DIFFERS FROM HIM

There is too much law anyway'1
asserted Lemuel Ely Quigg, Of New
York, In the course OF an address be-
fore the Alumni Association Of tho
High School last night in which he
assailed the policies pursued by Presi-
dent Roosevelt In a way that made
everybody present sit up and take
notice Mr.. Quigg is an alumnus or
the High school. "A graduate of the
class Of 1878. and aside from being a
former congressman from New York
city, whore he now lives and practices
the law, he is one Of the foremost
Republican leaders IN New York

tion the name OF President Roosevelt,
but Mr. Quiggs deliverance against
some of the widely known policies OF
the President, including Federal regu-
lation, and his plea for a retIrn to tho
pure and simple notion OF hhe func-
tion Of government which is No peri
fcctly expressed In the American, Com
stitution" We're interpreted hy moAt od
those present as an expression of (he
antagonism of some of the big he
publican leaders in New York toward
President Roosevelt II
Some spice was added when On

members Of the faculty OF the High

Ovation For Mr.. ouigg.
Mr. Quigg was given an ovation
when he arose 10 speak. At tho outset
he spoke OF his attendance at the High
School, under the not always approv-
ing watch of Stansbury Wiley and
those good and patient women who
composed the stan OF teachers" He
recalled that one thing he got at the
High School was an uncommonly ac-
curate and extensive acquaintance
with English words and their deriva-

Shot As They Slept.
She mentioned that little Rose had
been playing with colored children

and saying that his children would
never play with negroes again, shot
them both as they lay asleep.
The mother had her tiny son in bed
with her and the little girl was asleer
on a lounge close by. The latter raised
on hearing the noise of the report OF
the shot which meant death for her
brother, and the father pushing the
weapon in her face sent a bullet crash
ing through her skull. He then tuN-
ed the revolver on himself and finished
the bloody work. Mrs. Zmne ran int
the street screaming.
When the Phoenix ambulance ar
rived the man was stiil alive, but he
