SOUTHERN PACIFIC
ACQUIRES BRANCH
PHOENIX & EASTERN ROAD is
TAKEN OVER
Colonel Epes Randolph Gives Out a
Statement Embracing These
Facts-DeaI Practically
Compromise
By Associated Press.

oN ASSOCItileu IISSS.
PHOENIX, Ariz., April 1S.-Colonel
Epes Randolph, president of the South
ern Pacific lines in Arizona, who ar
rived this evening from Tucson, is
authority for the statement that the
Southern Pacific has taken over the
Phoenix G. Eastern railroad, a Santa
Fe construction, now running from
Phoenix east to Winkelman, Ariz., 100
miles, and projected to join the Santa
Fe lines in New Mexico.
From Winkelman east for some dis
tance the read must pass through Box
canyon, Gila river, wide enough for
only one line. The project was in
tended for the Santa Fe main line
through central Arizona to avoid heavy
grades on the Santa Fe Pacific.
The Southern Pacific, to forestall
this move, began construction of the
Arizona Eastern to parallel the Phoenix
& Eastern, building from the eastern
end and using part of the Globe, ella
Valley & Northern trackage. The con-
test over right of way in Gila canyon
stopped construction of both lines and
ended by the Southern Pacific purchas-
ing the Phoenix & Eastern.
Line Finished to Parker
To complete the Santa Fe through
line west, construction of the Arizona
& California line began at Wicken-
burg and is now completed to the Colo
RADIO river at Parker. Colonel Ran
dolph says the arrangement now is
for both systems to use the same
through line, the Santa Fe operating
the section between Phoenix and Ben
gal, California, the Southern Pacific to
operate tho section from Phoenix to
Deming, N. NJ.
The Santa Fe will complete con-
struction from Winkeman through
Box Gila canyon to San Carlos, and
from there use the Gila Valley track
to Solomonville, thence construct a new
line through Guthrie, Ariz., to Deming,
N. M, completing the central Arizona
main line

ADMITS ROBB|NG
EXPRESS COMPANY
John Gunderson Confesses and ST.
Paul Police Find $4,000 in
Places Designated by
the Prisoner
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, April 1S.-The
$4,000 stolen from the office of the
Northern Pacific Express company al
the Union depot, Tuesday night, has
been recovered.
John Gunderson, who was arrested
Wednesday, confessed today and told
the police where he had hidden the
money. The officers found it as indi-
Gated, in three packages, two contain
ing $4,000 and one containing $4,000
One of the large packages was under a
pile of dirt in jackson street, the other
two under platforms at the Great
Northern shops.
Gunderson in his confession corrobo-
rated the story of the holdup as told
by the express company clerk. Gun
derson, when arrested, was in bed
apparently in a drunken stupor and
until today refused to acknowledge any
connection with the robbery.
The money was consigned by a ST.
Paul bank to a bank at Duluth. The
express company had already repaid
the loss in full.

1 actually lived at the place mentioned.
1 will leave 1t to the reporters to tell
you of the anguish of Mrs. Sanderson.
The city editor of The Herald intro
duced me to my good landlady and she
promptly came within an ace of faint
ing.
Thinks Him a Crook
You may read elsewhere of the
heartburnings of Mrs. Sanderson, who
overlooked the thousand dollars while
she had the money in front Of her
three times a day. Mrs. Sanderson
wasted no words in telling me that she
was fairly well satisfied / was more
or less a celebrated crook or would
never have been able to deceive her in
| the manner I did
After the capture-and you, those
who have been on my trail-listen to
this. Immediately after Detective Bert
r. Parker took my Bertillon measure
ment in this city happened in a cafe
on South Spring street where I en-
countered Jess d. Veale, who declared
he would be able to pick me out of
any gathering in which I might hap
pen to Saunter.
All good enough for Jess. Yesterday
afternoon l again visited the cafe in
company with a couple of friends,
where 1 ventured solely for the pur-
pose Of giving Jess another chance to
say something, but there was nothing
doing until after had been in the
place fifteen minutes, when he finally
advanced the idea that somehow or
other somebody in the place had men
toned that 1 looked some like Raffles.
Gets the Gold Tonight
Then I ventured around to the Wal
dorf cafe on Broadway, where met
Adolph and Frank Becker, the two
lads who acknowledged without any
fuss or furore that they had been keen
on the trail for many days. Al Smith
looked me over quietly, but even at
that it was some time before he was
aware of my presence.
Tonight, folks, come to the Chutes
park. 1 am scheduled to go out there
and tell those interested all about how
it happened.
The Hon. Niles Pease, acting mayor
of the city, will hand over to Morris
Goldsten $1,000 in gold in behalf Of the
Los Angeles Herald.
Boys and girls-Did we have good
time? Come and tell me all about 1t.
I'm going to beat that crowd to a
frazzle at the Chutes tonight just for
luck's sake. If you are interested go
out and watch me do tit may help
you some later on.
Here's hoping I see you tonight.

After several caucuses by the Re-

Five of the candidates in the race

Isaac Stephenson, a wealthy lumber

Emil Baensch of Manitowoc and r.

DR.. HAUGH PAYS
DEATH PENALTY.
MURDERER ELECTROCUTED AT
COLUMBUS, OHIO
Condemned Man Manifests Apparent
Indifference to the Last-Evldence
Which Convicted Him Consid-
cred Only circumstantiaI
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 19-Dr
oliver Crook Haugh of Dayton, Ohio,
convicted of the murder of his father,
mother and brother, on the night of
November 4, 1905, was electrocuted in
the annex at the Ohio penitentiary a
few minutes after midnight.
During the early part of the night
a break in the machinery at the Co.
lumbus public service plant threw the
big prison into temporary darkness.
The break did not interfere with the
electrocution in any way, however, as
the current for that purpose is sup
piled by the prison dynamo.
Haugh manifested an apparent in
difference to his fate until the last.
All visitors were excluded from the
annex at the penitentiary today and
Haugh has seen no one aside from the
prison officials, except Father Kelley,
his spiritual adviser.
DR.. Haugh has never admitted the
crime for which he was sentenced to
death. He has never discussed 1t, SO
his attendants say, since he entered
the annex. He is reported, however, tc
have protested his innocense.
Details OF the Crime
The murder of his parents and
brother occurred in Dayton on the
night of November l, 1905. The house
in which the Haughs lived was burned
and search of the ruins revealed the
bodies of the elder Haugh, his wife and
a son. All circumstances indicated that
the family had been murdered and the
house burned to conceal the crime.
Dr. Haugh declared he had barely
escaped from the house with his life
and though he denied he had commit
ted any crime, suspicion pointed toward
him, and after his arrest a strong cir
cumstantial case was made.
His defense was insanity, but he was
legally declared to be sane. 1t was
brought out, however, that he was ad-
dicted to the use of a drug. Later at
tempts were made to connect him with
the murder of several women at Gin
cinnati who were mysteriously stran-
gled.
He was also said to be involved with
a Mary Twohe, who died under sus-
picious circumstances at Lorraine, Ohio,
and with a Mrs. Annie Patterson, who
died mysteriously at Chicago.
Haugh was married and his wife,
now divorced, and two children, are
living in Dayton.

Eat More Candy.

Give children plenty of pure sugar, taffy and butterscotch and they'll have little need of cod-liver oil," says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in the Christmas Wo- mans Home Companion.
 In short sugar is, after meat, bread and butter, easily our next most impor- tant and necessary food. You can put the matter to a test very easily. Just leave off the pie, pudding or other desserts at your lunch or midday dinner. You Il be astonished to find how quickly you'll feel empty again, and how 'unflnished the meal will seen- You can't get any working man to accept dinner pail without pie in it. And he's absolutely right. The only thing that can take the place of sugar here is beer or wine. It is a significant fact that the free-iunch counters run in connection with bars fur nish every imaginable thing except sweets. Even the restaurants and lunch srills attached to saloons or bars often refuse to serve desserts of any sort

Maybe superstitution partly explains the fact that there are only 13 13-story buildings. Less than a. dozen years ago the American Surety buildings at 100 Broadway, 20 stories high, was world wonder. Never people said, would it be eclipsed. Now it is insignih- cant compared to some others. The Sing CT rises Al stories. and the Metropolitan Life, now under construction. will break the record with AS. The discovery of the structural possibilities of steel is what did it. Modern fireproofing methods-pro- tecting the steel with unburnable terra cotta and using the same material for floors and partitions and inclosing the elevator shafts and stairways-made the slsyscrapers perfectly safe.

They know their business, The more su- gar and sweets a man takes at a meal. the less alcohol he wants. Conversely. nearly every drinking man will tell you that he has lost his taste for sweets. The more candy a nation consumes, the less alcohol.
 ..The United States government buys pure candy by the ton and ships it to the Philippines to be sold at cost to the soldiers in the canteens. All men crave 1t in the tropics, and the more they get of it, the less vino and whisky they want.
 '.In fine, the prejudice against sugar is born of puritanism and stinginess. equal parts. Whatever children cry for must be bad for them, according to the pure doctrine of original sin; besides, it costs money.

Sir Thomas as a Sly Advertiser.

 Sir Thomas Upton is a shrewd adver- tiser. This is. not to speak unfriendly nor to deny his possession of sportmanly qualities, but to declare that before all else he strs my admiration as one fo the cleverest of press agents even in this day when the thirst for mention In the newspapers is widespread and feverish. He understood perfectly the conditions governing racing for the Americas cup. He knew full well that the New York Yacht club could not accept his chal- lenge of last month without violating the precise provisions of the deed of gift under which it was made guardian of the famous trophy but Lipton reckoned on a certain support because of the glad hand he has unfailingly hung out for the newspaper boys and because of the superficial tyachting) knowledge and ready sympathy of the American people and he got it-good and plenty, as his boys would say.
