other times. The defendant denied
that he had sold the boy liquor though
he said he had sold 10 another man

ton being led by H. Renaud. 1t was
stated that Mr.. Renaud's animus was
the opposition Of Reaksecker to him in
an election of the Appropriations Canal
company. Mr.. Renaud denied that and
said he did not know how Reaksecker
voted and was not in any way inter-
ested in his vote since he had only
three votes out of some $4,000. w.

Renaud had hired Baldenado and an
other boy to testify against Reacksecl-
er, giving each of them so cents. That
was denied by Mr.. Renaud and the
boy. but the defense had understood
that the boy had told ]. II. Van Fleet
that such an offer had been made to
him by Mr.. Renaud.
Accordingly there was a demand for
Mr.. Van Fleet. who had not been sub
poenaed and an adjournment was TAX
en- until half past four O'Clock for his
appearance. When he came he threw
a different light on the report. He had
not been informed that MIR. Renaud
had tried to buy the testimony of the
BOYS but that Mr.. Renaud had given
each of them fifty cents to go and
experiment with Mr.. Reaksecker. to
see if they could buy liquor of him.
The experiment it was stated had
proved successful.
The arguments followed the testT-
mony of Mr.. Van Fleet. Captain Alex
ander for the defendant attacked the
witnesses for the compliments and
also the law under which it was
sought to deprive his client of his IL
cense. The matter was argued for the
compliments by Assistant District At
torney Lyman.
The board quickly reached a con-
clusion as to the revocation of the
license but the members sought some
way by which they might refund to
the defendant the license fee of $500.
There seemed no way to do 1t under
the law which declares the fee forfeit

license The board asked Mr.. Lyman

Mr.. FIN. MURPHY WRITES
An Enjoyable Visit at Rome and in
the Adjacent and Historic Region.

letter. was received yesterday
from Mr.. F. NJ Murphy, who at the
i'time of writing was in Rome in the
course of his Southern Europe tour.
At the time of writing he had been in
the Italian capital for ten days and
had had most interesting visit, con;
tributed to by Ambassador Lloyd c.
Grlscom. who had recently been pro-
NOTED from the japanese to the Italian
embassy. Mr.. Griscom is quite well
known I'm Phoenix, having spent sew
eral winters here and at Castle Hot
Springs, in whose ownership he was
associated with Mr.. Murphy for
time.
Mr.. Murphy and party had made
numerous automobile trips throughout
the interesting country adjacent to
Rome. visiting many noted villas. He
again spoke fhis auto trip through
the island of Sicily which was a most
enjoyable one.
He wrote that he expected to leave
Rome about July 1 for Aix-les- Bains,
the journey to consume about ten days.
Enroute he would stop for a short
time at Pisa. He expected TO remain
at AK about three weeks. Aixles-
Bains is one of the most famous wat
ering places in the world and it has
been famous since the occupation of
Gaul by the Romans. 1t lies near Lake
-Bourget. in French territory, within
few miles of the Italian border.
Notwithstanding the enjoyment of
his trip. Mr.. Murphy writes that he
will be glad To get home and into the
harness again. He says he is not los
ing his fondness for Arizona but the
more he thinks Of 1t the bigger the
possibilities of the territory loom up;
he believes that Phoenix and the Salt
River valley will shortly be in the
midst Of a healthy boom.
II is also the opinion OF Mr.. Muir
ply that the unwarranted attacks
which have been made upon the rail-
road industry of the country will soon
be abandoned and that the railroads
can resume progress at the stage
where they were compelled to leave
off. II however the unfriendly policy
which has been pursued should be
continued the work Of railroad extern
sion and improvement would be great

would be a sufferer.

The Riot Act.

What is commonly meant by reading
the riot act'' is better known than the
origin of the phrase. The historical
riot act was passed by the British Par
lament In the reign Of George 1. in
TIA. 1t enacts that felony is commit
ted when twelve or more persons I'M
lawfully, riotously and unanimously
assemble together to the disturbance
of the public peace, so to continue to-
gether for an hour after being COM
manded to disperse by the sheriff or
undersheriff or a justice or the mayor
of the borough.
In the reading Of the British riot
act, which is a necessary preliminary
to its being put into operation, it is not
customary to recite the whole of the
statute, which is rather long one, but
only the following proclamation, which
it contains: Our sovereign lord the
king chargeth and commandeth all per-
sons being assembled Immediately to
disperse themselves and peaceably to
depart to their habitations or to their
lawful business upon the pains con-
tanned in the act made in the first year
of King George for preventing tumults
and riotous assemblies. God save the
king !"-Chicago News.

WIRELESS Has LIMITATIONS.
Sir Hiram Maxim Tells Why 1t Cam
not supersede the Cables.

Sir Hiram Maxim Tells Why 1t Cam
not supersede the Cables.
Sir Hiram Maxim, the great inventor
and eXperlmenter, says the unscient'h@
public is expecting ton mach from the
experiments Marco1i is making "a Cape
Breton 10 establish a trustworthy wire
less telegraph service across the Alan
tic, according to a London cable to
the New York World.
"Marconi has done splendid work
in establishing wireless communication
between vessels at sea- Sir Hiram
said to a correspondent to-day. IF
ship is lost it can be traced quickly
now
But there is a limit to everything,
even to the strength of steel. The
strongest substance on earth breaks
sometimes, as we learned the other day
when the Quebec bridge collapsed. Be
for that we did not know such thing
could happen because no bridge had
ever been built like it and steel had
never been put to such a tension. So it
is with Marconi's system its limit must
be reached.
81 see the cable companies stocks
are falling and owners of stock are
growing excited but there is absolutely
no occasion for excitement. Wireless
telegraphy is something more than Il
plaything, Of course, but 1t never will
be a serious competitor with ocean ca
bles-at least not in our lifetime.
"The reason is this: The man who
pays to send a cablegram wants it kept
private to himself and the man at the
other end of the cable; and it is kept
private. If the same message could
be sent by wireless there would be
nothing to prevent you or me from put
ting up little apparatus and tapping
it. That would be the simplest thing
in the world.
again, the first thing our enemy
does in time of war is to try to cut
our cables and so stop communication.
That is a long and difficult job. because
cables are protected by battle ships,
and even if the enemy does break
through and cut one line 1t can De re-
paired soon. Besides there are dozen
other cable lines, each independent of
the other, and the enemy must go to
work and cut or break through them
all.
"Now, see how different is the case
with wireless messages. All you have
to do is to put up 10-horse-power gas
or oil engine between two wireless
stations and work it out Of sympathy
with the apparatus that is trying to
send wireless messages. What is easier
than to counterfeit the wireless wave
in that way. There is nothing to pre-
vent it, as far as | can see.
$50 you perceive there are very
great drawbacks to the wireless system
in times of war and peace, too

The English Walnut.

Trees of the English walnut are
now a fairly common sight in Western
New York. 1t is estimated that sew
eral hundred trees are alive and thrifty
in that section, and it is claimed that
this variety of walnut is really about
as hardy as the peach.
A G. Poneroy, of Lockport, \. Y,
writes that while last year he lost over
100 peach trees from winter-killing,
only one English walnut was killed, al
though the peach trees were in the
walnut orchard Mr.. Pomeroy sends a
photograph of one of the oldest English
walnut trees on his farm. The tree, as
shown in the illustration, was twenty
two years old, but the photograph was
taken eight years ago.
The tree is still as vigorous and pro-
ductive as ever in the thirteenth year,
and has been producing every year for
many years. This spring the tree was
we'll filled with nuts, but the weather
being 50 unusually cold and wet, most
of the nuts dropped. Professor Van
deman has named this variety the Nor
man Pomeroy in honor Of Vi Pome-
roy's father, who first propag led this
variety in New York state.

WAR ON COAL PRICES.

Appleton People Benefit When
Dealer Forces Price Down.
A coal war is on in Appleton and as
result the bottom has dropped out of
the price of fuel. The price has gone
from $3.50 to $3.50 a ton on hard coal.
The trouble started when the Ideal Lum-
Der and Fuel Company, an independent
concern, cut prices 30 cents. The trust
companies followed by 81 drop. Then
it kept going until the trust advertised
hard coal at $3.50 and wood split free
of cost. The Independent company went
to $3.50 delivered. Other cuts are ex-
pected.

TRY IT ON THE DOG.
Food Expert Wiley Deems Refrig
Grated Meat Unsafe.

Grated Meat Unsafe.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, Uncle Sans wiz
ard in chemistry, believes that refrigerat-
ed meat is unsafe. Meat and other foods,
if appearances are to be accepted may be
kept in cold storage for long periods with
out any apparent degradation in their
nutritive value or quality. But between
the time they are removed form the re-
frigerator and the time that they are
prepared for eating, ptomaine or alkaloid-
al bodies may develop that would MAKE
them fatal if taken into the human stom
ach. The meat, poultry, game and other
articles that have been in Dr. Wiley's ice
house for the last two years will not
therefore be fed to the poison squad.

doors in an ice cold atmosphere. In
taste and odor the refrigerator meat will
be compared with fresh beef. Then the
beef will be fed to the department dog,

at large as hurtful to health.
While Dr. Wiley absolutely declined to

Alsfke Clover.

Alsike should not be sown on high
dry land. 1t Is not adapted for that
purpose This is because it has short
fibrous root system. 1t differs from
common red clover in this respect.
Both red and mammoth clovers have
tap root which penetrates deeply into
the ground, enabling these plants to
gather moisture at a lower level than
it is possible for the roots of alsike clio
yer to do.
1t is on account of the long tap root
of red clover that it cannot thrive in
wet soils, whereas alsike clover with
its shallow growing, fibrous roots rev.
els in moist soils and fails to do well
on high dry areas. Those who SOW
