RICH MUSICAL CO.
 DOES VERY WELL
'Wanted A Wife" produced to Large Audience e-High
 Feature of Show,

Last night the Frank Rich Musical Company produced Wanted A Wife, at the Orpheum Theater to a fairsized audience, and afforded a great deal of amusement. The feature of the per formance was the portrayal of an ir- rascible old man by Nat High. -g
 In Captain Tarbox" High has a part which keeps him on the stage four ifths of the time, and it must be said that he acquits himself very well. He is peculiarly fitted for the part and car ries on a, continual tirade with remark able ease.
 Eddie Mitchell plays the part of the nephew with good grace, lending him. self readily to the position of an ex- pert liar. There has been steady im- .provement in Mitchelrs work since he arrived here, probably owing to the fact that in the first couple of plays he was cast in parts not suited to his talents
 Nellie Kelcey is happily cast as the wife who is loaned and borrowed, and throughout the play carries herself with grace that is truly pleasing to observe. In her specialties she sings and dances well.

Sheriff Hill Was UnavoidabIy Delayed -Musgraye Denies Everything He Has Ever Been Accused Of,

On last evenings train for the cas-

 Texas on a charge of horse stealins
 alleged to have been committed ter Iyears ago.
 The prisoner was arrested by Lieu.
 tenant Billy Olds, of the Arizona Ran.
 gers, and Sergeant Kidder. of the same
 company. about three weeks ago. a
 short distance from Patagonia. After Volney Musgrave was arrested the rangers brought him to the county
 jail for safe-keeping, at the same time
 informing the Texas authorities that
 they had him in custody, and asking i, that an officer be sent for him at once
 On account of various delays it was thought that the authorities of the Lone Star State were negligent about getting their man, who was causing the jailers considerable trouble but when seen by a Review reporter last evening Sheriff Hill explained the en- tire matter. He said:
 As soon as I received word that the rangers had arrested Musgraye at once took the matter up with the I would be useless for me to come all this distance unless had the neces- sary papers to get my man on my ar rival. There was a delay of about ten days in forwarding me the reduisi tion papers, and it was for this reason that l did not start from home earlier. 1 endeavored at different times to tele- graph ,fthe local authorities. but owing 1 to the strike of the telegraph operators i could not get message through
 ''On Sunday morning I received the | papers. and at once started On my | arrival in Tombstone Musgrave in- formed me that he would not fight ex- tradition, so l am now on my way home with him. I want to thank the local officers for their assistance. and am sorry that the unavoidable delay occurred"
 When asked if he wanted to make any statement Musgrave said that he did not. However. he talked about his capture; denied that he had want. ed to kill the rangers when they were riding towards the house: denied that he had attempted to break jail: denied | that he was guilty of horse-steaIfng: in short he entered a general denial
 Musgraye was indicted by the grand jury of Lasalle County, Texas. in 1898. for the theft of a horse, but was ad- nitted to bail in the sum of $500 pend ng his trial. Before the trial came 1f Musgrave had quit rthe country. coming to Arizona. where he has been 'ince that time.

on Lawyers Convention
SEVEN ARTICLESOF FAITH
Unwritten Law Declared to Be
Foundation of Common Law, Com
mon Sense and Common Justice
--ResoIution Indefinitely Postponed

Portland, Me-, Aug. 2S.-A sensation
was sprung at the meeting yesterday
of the American Bar association when
Judge Henry S. Dewey of Boston in
troduced resolution containing ar
ticles of faith to the effect that the asso-
citation teaches that every good law
is in harmony with the unwritten law,
so-called; that the unwrtten law is the
word of God; that the real foundation of
the common law of England, so-ca,led,
is the unwritten law, and that this I'M
written law is the real foundation of
all good laws since the beginning of the
world. The resolution, which was in
definitely postponed, was as follows:
The American Bar association in con-
vention assembled, declares the fol
lowing articles of faith. namely:
First-That the everlasting God is
the supreme judge of the world.
Second-That this association teaches
that every good law is in harmony with
the unwritten law, so-called.
Third-That the unwritten law, So
called, is the word of God.
Fourth-That at the beginning Of the
Christian era the Holy Judge, who was
and is both real and ideal, proclaimed
the sum and substance Of the pure and
true law of government in the statute
which is translated in the authorized
version Of the Holy Bible, as follows,
namely:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind. This is the
first and great commandment. And
the second is like unto it, thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself. On these
two commandments hang all the law
and the prophets"
Fifth-That the real foundation OF
the common law of England, so-called
Is the unwritten law, so-called, and
that this unwrtten law is the real
foundation of all good laws since the
beginning of the world. the foundation
Of common law, common sense. com
mon justice throughout the universe.
SiXth-That mercy and justice are
one and inseparable. and that it is the
duty of every good lawyer to work tC
the end that all men shall receive merci-
full justice in court and in the corn-
try.
Sevcnth-That for the support Of
this declaration. with firm reliance on
the protection of Divine Providence
the American Bar association pledges
its life, its fortune and its sacred honor

Great Battl ,sh p Fleet VIII Cover
Nearly $4,000 Knots
TO START IN DECEMBER
Ships Win Require Over 100, 900 Tons
of Coal After Starting With Full
Bunkers--Two Supply Ships and
Floating Machine Shop Are Going

Washington, Aug. 27.-Acting Sec
rotary Newberry has returned to Wash
ington, bringing official word of the
conclusions reached at the oyster Bay
conference last week relative to the
projected cruise of the great battleship
fleet from the eastern to the western
coasts of the United States by way of
the Straits of Magellan.
Necessarily, these conclusions were
on broad lines and it was found expe-
dent to leave to Admiral Evans and
his staff the arrangement Of the details
of the itinerary of the voyage, and to
the heads of the various naval bu-
reaus the preparations which will make
1t possible for the great fleet to leave
the Atlantic coast in perfect condition
for this voyage of 1912 knots.
Everything will be in readiness for
the fleet to sail on Dec. l and the date
of departure will be between Dec and
Is. All of the orders to the heads of
bureaus are of verbal character. AS
arranged the itinerary provides for 10
knots an hour, which is regarded as the
most economic speed for the fleet.
This will permit the GOLFERS to accom-
pany the fleet for part Of the voyage
on the Atlantic side. Starting with full
bunkers of COAL the ships will require
IN addition 100,504 tons. not counting
the coal that will be burned by the tor
pedo boats, which will be provided by
merchants en- route.
This great supply Of coal must be
provided by golfers. Four small col
liers, the Hannibal Marcellus, Sterling
and Hanshan, carrying 22O0 tons cell
will accompany the fleet to Trinidad
and five larger GOLFERS, the Ajax, Aba
renda BrutuS. Caesar and Nero. carry
ing 1000 tons each. will go as far as Rio
Janeiro. 1t will be necessary to char.
ter II additional golfers. and four OF
these will meet the fleet at Sandy Point
Magellan straits. four at Callao, Peru
and four at Magdalena bay. Each OF
these GOLFERS will carry 5000 tons of
coal.
1t is the intention of the navy depart
/
as possible. but in some instances for
eign coal will have to he used. The
character of the torpedo boats makes il
possible for them to coal at regular sta
lions devoted to commercial steamers.

Magdalena bay will be reached about
