CONSOLIDATED
PREPARING TO
Fight CASE
Officials of Telephone Company
Meet at Tucson-Fight Is
Being Waged Against 1t In
Phoenix.

TUCSON. Dec. 13-For the purpose
il is understood of comforting with
local officials OF the Consolidated Tele-
phone regarding the effort that is
l.s.s-.s, s4aaaa 20 reVnka the franchise
under which that company is now op-
Grating in Phoenix, Vernon L. Clark,
manager for the company in Phoenix,
recently paid visit to this city.
Local telephone people, however,
were not over laxative last evening
when this matter was brought up with
them by Star reporter. c. w. Hinch-
cliffe, general manager OF the com
pany, who makes his Offices in this
city, was called over the phone but
stated when questioned, that he mad
only talked with Mr.. Clark tor q few
minutes and that he knew nothing
concerning the affairs outside of gnat
had already been printed.
However, the visit Of Mr.. Clark
coming as 1t did Immediately upon
the beginning Of the fight against
the Consolidated which is now being
waged In Phoenix, must certainly
have been connected With the Il ouble
and it's only natural to surm SO that
some plan was arranged at the meet
ing here between :he telephone PEG,
pie to give battle to the invaders OF
the Phoenix field.
|. The Pasadena capitalists who are
endeavoring to have the city count i
of Phoenix revoke the franchise Of
the Consolidated company in that city
| are doing so with the express pus
| pose of putting in 4 system there
| themslyec if they are sruccessfal il
having the franchise of the compan!
now operating there taken aay from
! them.
Mr. Clark has returned to Phoenix
i after his conference with tae head
of the company here, but it will b.
for the future to determine what wa
done or decided upon while he wa
here.

Body DeploFeS I'm
moral Conditions Existing In
Globe and Calls On Officers
For Information

GLOBE, Dec. 13.-When the federai
Jurors made their final report In
Globe last Saturday they were thank
ed by tae court for their arduous
work and their strict performance OF
their duty. The final report does
not contain any reference to the land
cases, being only a statement of i'm
moral conditions existing in Globe
and an arraignment Of the city author
titles. The following is the final re-
port:
The grand jury of the district for
the November term, 1907, of the court
respectfully calls attention to the fact
that at our present session we had oc-
CASTOR to make a partial investigation
of alleged violations of what is known
as the Edmunds-Tucker act and from
investigation We are convinced thar
the morals of a certain element of
the city of Globe. living in the north
ern portion of said city and especially
about the neighborhood commonly
known as the 'redlight district of the
city, are very deplorable and that
such condition in a measure is at
tributable to the course that the city
authorities of Globe have pursued
AON AiNluolAS anu
en- to openly practice lewdness in
that vicinity. And which tends 10
congregate about said locality the
idle, vicious and criminal element,
thereby bringing about indeeency and
crime which would not otherwise pre-
| vail in the city of Globe as it now
| does.
We would also say that in cur lin,
| tied examination of the conditions
above mentioned, we have found that
the officers of the city OF Globe-at
least those who have been supoenaei
befor us to give information relative
TO such lewd practices-are quite in
different and apparently unable t
furnish US with the information which
would warrant us in proceeding II
bring the violators of said Edmunds
Tucker act to answer Tor such viola
lions, though it would appear TIA
said officers whose duty 1t is to ferre
out crime and guard the welfare ant
good name of their city, If they would
perform their duty well ought to hav'
been able to have furnished the infor
nation which we requested and de
sired from them for the purpose o
suppressing such practices and VIOLA
tons OF the law. by presenting indict
ments against them, to the end tina
they should be brought to trial befort
this court.
I'VE would also respectfully reques
your honor to bring the matter here
inbefore set forth to the proper cit!
and county authorities, that the BAT
condition now existing in Globe ma!
! be in some way abated or improved.

SUP,T. RAUTHRUFF
REPRIMANOED

Mr.. Ruthrauff had not complied strioI,
" with the rulings of the board, never
theless he believed that whatever ac-
ton he had taken was done with.
view to the best interests of the Tue
son schols in mind.
At the conclusion of President Bah
cocks remarks, the board decided to
allow the matter to go over until their
next meeting, which will be held In
January, 1908. when full investiga-
ton of the affair viii be made.
The resolutions censursng Professor
Ruthrauff which were adopted read
as follows:
1--WE fShnd as a matter of fact
Chat Professor Ruthrapff has di-
rected and authorized the omission
from the course Of study Of the Tue
son school books that were prescribed
by this board to be used; and he has
directed and authorized to be used IN
the Tucson schools, books which
are not among those prescribed
| by this board. He has neg
| leeted his duty as superintend-
! ent of the Tucson schools in that
| he failed to notify the teachers and
/ patrons of the schools as to the books
| that had been prescribed by this
board and the prices for which they
could be purchased and exchanged for
other books; and permitted to be pre-
| sented to the teachers and pupils print
ed copies of list OF books which was
not the prescribed list, and the prices
named on the list so presented varied
I from % percent 10 IVU percent higher
than the prices for which ttih:ss board
\ had contracted that the books pre-
scribed could be bought and exchang-
ed. whereby the patrons of the Tucson
| schools were deceived and imposed
Iupon. The further consideration of

To consider the charges filed against
W. NJ. Ruthrauff, superintendent of
the Tucson schools, by Territorial SD
perintendent of Public Instruction
Long, the Arizona board OF education
met yesterday morning at their office
In the capitol building in Phoenix, the
meeting having been convened at 10
o'clock.
Mr.. Long acting upon information,
as he said, furnished him by S. H.
Drachman and John B. Wright OF this
city, further enlarged his charges
against Ruthrauff, saying that the lat
ter had not only failed TO comply with
the list of boks furnished by the ter
ritorial board but had furnished a
separate list from that prescribed,
which he submitted to the scholars
and teachers of the Tucson school. An
effort was made to prove that Ruth
rauff was acting in conjunction with
the American Book company to their
mutual profit but the charge fell fiat
for want Of proof.
The board took a recess from II
O'Clock until 2 in the afternoon. when
they met, and the Ruthrauff charges
were again taken up. a ISsOidtAOh
was offered and adopted in the after
noon session censuring Prof. Ruth
rauff FOR having failed to comply with
the Est of books prescribed by the ter
ritorial board, but nothing definite was
done as to the charges made against
him by Long.
Professor Ruthraurr was present a
the meeting in person anu salu tHd'
he was ignorant Of the law regarding
text books and that he had supposed

Guy Smith i'll Firm

Last Saturday a deal was
made whereby Guy Smith en-
tered the firm now known as
Ell Bradley, Clothier, and
the new firm name will be Ed
D. Bradley & Company, Mr..
Smith comprising the "com-
pany." Mr.. Smith came to
Missouri Valley about five
years ago and entered the en-
ploy of Mr.. Bradley and has
proved himself to be one of the
best and most accommodating
clerks ever in the city. Mr..
Smith has had about twelve
years of experience in the
clothing business and is GER
tainly we'll qualified to assist in
the management of the firm.
Mr.. Bradley stated this morn
ing that he was glad to have
Mr.. Smith associated with him
and it shows that any man who
is ambitious, honest and prof.
Gent can always find a good
place waiting for him.
The new firm start out with
a Dig trade and are increasing
their stock all the time, and
with both gentlemen interested
in the business, no doubt will
get their share of the patron
age. Mr.. Bradley has been in
the clothing business in the
city for himself about five
years, but has worked here for
other merchants for twenty
five years.

AT THE CARNIVAL
. Clean List of Attractions
Are Bci-.g Shown

The Carnival Company now
showing at Lake View seems to
be attracting large numbers.
Yesterday afternoon many
women and children went out
to the grounds and enjoyed
the different attractions and
the free shows are we'll worth
the price Of the street car fare
to and from the grounds.
There is plenty doing there all
the time and hundreds 90 out
simply to see the life there is
in connection with the enter
prise.
The company is presenting a
clean line of shows from start
to finish and do everything to
please the patrons in the way
of keeping grafters off the
grounds. The shows can be
visited by any one without fear
of being embarrassed as is so
often found in carnival COM
panies that travel the world
over.
One of the chief attractions
that is being most literally
patronized is the show called
Subperba. 1t is not a picture
show or an artificial show but
with real being that offers a
rare treat in that particular
line. The famous butterfly
dance is introduced by a young
lady with a richly dressed
costume and with the magnif-
cent light effects presents a
very spectacular scene. The
girl in the sea she'll is also a
very pretty get that catches the
admiration of many. The
picture dance in the same con-
cession is a fine piece of work
and the statue turning to life
can also be seen in this tent.
The Johnston Flood and Hale's
Tours also have the closest at
tention of those who visit them.
The moving picture shows
are more up-to-date than any
seen here and the pictures are
fresh and pleasing. Sheboygan
