CANAL CONNECTION
 Al GRANITE REEF
The Date Set by the Reclamation Serv-
 ice For Putting a Head on the Ari-

The Granite Reef dam will be com pleted about June 1st as near as the engineers can now estimate it. On Sunday there was yet to construct, just = feet of concrete work from the wa ter line to the crest, divided into four openings of g. IS, F and F feet.
 About the same time, or three weeks from yesterday, the water will be turn end out of the Arizona head and for fifteen days the Arizona and Appro- priators canals will be dry.
 The water will be turned out of the canals to give the working force an opportunity to cut the heading of the canal into the big cement gates in the dam and connect the canal permanent ly with the new dam. As soon as that is done the water will be turned in again and the permanent distributing system on the north side will be in operation through the new head.
 This notice is given that water users may have ample opportunity to wet up their lands and have them in the best possible condition when the water is turned out. If this is done it is not believed that any crop will suffer dur
 
 erything possible will be done to pre- vent any damaging results and to get the water into the ditch again at the earliest possible moment And this in cident it is believed is the last one of hundreds affecting the canal heads, that in the years past have made the farmers nervous from time to time. The man who has bought water on the northside. can rest assured that he can get it whenever he needs it.
 This information was given out yes terday by Engineer Reed who visited Granite Reef the day before in com pany with Judge Ainsworth, Dr. Craig, J. C. Adams and Frank AinswOrth. Incidentally they made the record au- tomobile run from Granite Reef to Phoenix. an hour and twenty-five min uteS.

The Visiting Sailors Are Afforded a Great Variety Of Diversions.

San Francisco, May 1.-The officers of the Atlantic fleet devoted today chiefly to sightseeing in and about the cities bordering on the bay. More than a thousand enlisted men were shown the city and it's environS from observation cars in which they were carried from the ferry landing over the extension system of the United Railroads. About three hundred off cers, headed by Rear Admiral Swim burne, occupied a long line of automo- piles which paraded through some of the principal streets and passed through Chinatown then on to many places of interest.
 Admiral Thomas was suffering from the effects of a cold when he went on board the flagship Connecticut early this morning, though much improved. He did not return ashore but sent Flag Lieutenant K. c. Castleman to repre- sent him on the automobile excursion The trip to the summit of Mount Tamalpais was provided for a hundred warrant officers. Luncheon was par taken of at the inn on the summit. from which is obtained a magnificent view of the sea shore.

gan over common infirmity. partial deafness. Hudgins asked George if he was not often discouraged on account of this affliction. saying that he him. self was frequently Respondent He said that he had found difficulty in obtaining work by reason of his deaf ness and had also found difficulty in holding job once he had got it. His head he said hurt him most O. the time so that he could hardly work. He described deafening roaring much of the time and said that a tempest seem ed to be raging in the top of his head.
 Then he spoke of the Wagner sui eide and wondered f that was not the best way ont of it after all MT. George tried to disuade him from this train or thought and told him that suicide helped nothing. There was al- ways a bright side to life if one looked for il. MT. George said that he him. self had found his deafness d handi- cap in the matter of securing and re- taining employment. He had there fore established little business of his own in which he Nas doing very well.
 Hudgins finally turned his face to Al4F NtR4A fAilt 'APl'tlAF FiiNiN ifit e1Si'tl l's Sometime in the night MT. George was awakened by the click of the door latch and saw Hudgins standing in the door. He remained there for lit He time and then closing the door he returned to the bed. crawled over MT. George and laid down. MT. George said that he did not know what time 1t was then. nor did he know how much longer he slept; it might have been minute or it might have been an ls)ur. But he was awakened by the report of q pistol and then found that HudginS was not in the bed. He called him but received no reply. Mir. George could find nothing in his room and then went 10 the toilet in an adjoining room and saw Hudgins sitting against the wall, blood running from his mouth and pistol lying in his lap near his left hand. ATr George recognized it as his own pistol which was under his pillow when he fell asleep.
 MT. George went to the front door and saw man walking hurriedly across the street He called to him. saving that man had shot himself but the stranger paid no attention to him but hurried on He then went to a nearby bakery and telephoned to the police station
 Officer Connolly happened to be at Seventh avenue and Washington at the time Of the firing of the shot and he started for Five Points When al some distance he saw q man running across the street but on arriving he saw no one but MT. George who told him Of the death of Hudgins. The officer in reply to a question by a member of the jury said that he did not know the man he had seen; he was too far away

but he thought it might have been MT. George returning from the bakery.
 The only other witness was Mrs. Hudgins She said that her husband was AS years of age and had been born in Carter county. Kentucky He had been troubled with a pain in his head for a long time and at times it was unbearable It was brought out that he had come to town from the ranch where tie family resides north of the city to meet a relative who had been visiting this neighborhOod for some time and was about to leave for home.
 It had been stated that he had taken out insurance in the New York Life on Saturday Thomas J. Whitney. the undertaken. said that in a small pouch containing some money which he had found in one of Hudgins' pockets, there was among other papers a receipt for S10.00 signed by w w. McNeff. the agent of the company here. The re- ceipt bore the date of Saturday. MT Whitney said that he had learned at the office of the agency that Hudgins had applied on Saturday for insurance to the amount of :10.000 and had talk en q medical examination and made a deposit of S10. The application had not been mailed to the company.

THE EXPRESS COMP AkIFS
 IN THt FRUIT BUSINESS
The Commission Finds as it Has Been Conducted it is Good Thing.

Washington. May i1.-Important re port was transmitted by the inter state commerce commission pr the rc- suits Of an inquiry made by the com mission as to whether the express companies of the country We're engag- ed in the business. selling CT hard- ling consignments of fruit. tege etabies and oysters entering into interstate commerce.
 The commission finds that for hand ing perishablc commodities th" ex press companies have established ord er commission departments. The agents of the companies undertake to find a market for the producers and handle the products offered. The products are marketed and the pro ceeds. less the express charges, are turned over to the producers. The commission says the system affords ''Drincipally the only means by which the growers of fruits in the small iso lated communities can market this product to advantage in distant locali- ties
 The commission reports that the eX- press companies do not buy or sell commodities transported by them to their own account. Agents of the companies who have done so. have been prohibited from continuing the business h ythe companies.
 The commission believes. from the evidence it has taken, that it is in the interest of growers and producers, as

THE SUICIDE
 OF HUDGINS
Suggested by the Self Killing of Frank Wagner
An Interesting Feature Brought out at Ycster- days Inquest.

IL was brought out yesterday at the inquest of O. s. Hudgins that his sui eide on Sunda- morning was moved by despondency over his growing in- rirmaties and his inability to find work and keep a job It was also made clear that the precipitating cause was the Wagner suicide

He said that Hudgins whom he had known for a long time came 10 his place about half past seven o'clock on Saturday evening He asked for something to eat ard t was prepared for him by Mrs. George.

MT George. who sleeps at the restau- rant told Hudgins that he could share his bed. Later Mir. George came to town ard remained until 10 o'clock.

WAFER SYMPOSIUM
 IN CITY COUNCIL
Hereafter the City Will Supervise the Irrigation of all Territory Within the Corporate Limits.

The city council held a short meet ing last night. attended to a little spe-
 cial business for which it was chiefly called, and adjourned 10 meet again ! Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock. Clin- ton Campbell, the new councilman
 from the second ward, was at his desk but Councilman Marshall was absent.
 The principal business of the even
 ing was the discussion of the problem
 of the irrigation of such areas within
 the city limits as have heretofore re- ceived their water direct from the gov
 ernment. IL ended by the adoption of
 suggestion made by. Engineer Reed
 representing the reclamation service.
 that the city take over the irrigation
 of such tracts. At the present time
 the city is running the water over more than three quarters of the cor
 poratiOn. The areas affected therefore are parts of the Churchill. Capitol. Un-
 iversity and some other additions. as
 well as some individual large holdings
 in the rest of the city where water has been heretofore bought directly from the government on an acreage basis, instead of the city on a lot ba- sis The adjustment of these cases it
 is thought will be the only feature of differing opinion and it is believed that Street Commissioner Carr and Asses sOr Barnett to whom the matter was referred, will be able 10 make an agree able arrangement all around.
 Heretofore there has been trouble and conflict of interest by trying to maintain two systems in a part of the city. On some streets where only a few householders would buy water of the government. the latter in order to serve them had to run the water 10 intervening lot owners and did so rath- CT than make trouble At the same time the city for the looks of things kept up the ditches and in that way often more than half the lot owners were getting both water and ditch cleaning without buying either of eith- CT the city or the government Under the new system these owners will have to pay s per lot for water the same as any other lot owner in the city and the city will buy the water from the government for all territory within the corporation lines and it's dIstribu- ton will be under the direction of the city zanieros.
 A motion was passed also authoriz- ing the city Zanjeros to carry through the city ditches and deliver at the south line of the corporation. water due the residents of the south half of the Irvine addition they to keep up their own ditcheS from that point. This arrangement is satisfactory both to the government and to the property owners in that section. Formerly this area received water from the gas plant but when that was cut off, unless the city carried water for it 1t got none except the waste water from the north half of the addition.
 There was some talk concerning the remodel1ng of the engine house for the accommodation of the new chem ical engine and Messrs. Cisney and Campbell were directed to make an eX- animation of the building and report

well as local dealers in the cOmmuni- ties servered only by express com panies. and in the interest of increased production in undeveloped regions, that the operation by the order com mission departments of the companies be allowed to continue.
 Accordingly it recommends that all express companies and agents be pro- hibited from buying or selling on own account commodities transported by express, put that the express compan- ies be permitted to continue it's pres ent methods of conducting interstate business through their order commits sion departments. subject to the pro- hibitions of the law against unreason- able regulations and unjust discrimi- nation.
