PHOENIX ELECTRIFIED
 BY A POWER CONTRACT
It Has Stirred Up More Excitement Than
 a Live Wire
Business Men Engaged In the Investigation of the Negotiations Between the Government and the Pacific Gas and Electric Co.

A sensation affecting the entire mu- nicipality and the reclamation project in this valley, has been incubating in this city eyer since last Thursday An intimation of the nature of it was se- cured last Friday and while the sub jeet under consideration was known, it could not be intelligently referred to until the facts of what is now going on had been made public. That did not begin to occur until yesterday, and even yet the details are not all avail able, or the matter is yet merely in the investigation stage on one side of the controversy and on the other side there has not been an opportunity for explanation, n any is desired. The Re- publican refrained from giving the sub- ject any publicity until those taking the initiative elected to speak and even now advises that the contentious are not full and complete on either side, hence the reader will do we'll to judge conservatively until the facts are all in.
 The matter in question is the con- tract between the government, as re- presented. by the reclamation service. and the Pacific Gas and Electric com pany. under which the latter is to be supplied with power generated at

A WAR VESSEL GOES 10 VENEZUELAN WATERS
But it is Explained at the State De- partment That It's Mission is Peace ful.

Washington. April 21.-An American warship will be sent to Venezuelan waters. but it's mission it to be entire ly peaceful one. The closing of the port of La Guaira because of the eX- istence of bubonic plague. has made it necessary for the state department to have at hand some vessel to be used as a dispatch boat by Minister Rus sell, in sending messages to Curacoa, or Port Spain, Trinidad and for talk ing cablegram to him from the state department.
 one of the smaller gunboats now in West Indian waters will be utilized for the purpose. The vessel will ply between Puerto Cabello and the near est cable station. Puerto Cabello. ac- cording to Minister Russelrs> dispatch. to the state department today, is still open.
 Under today's date American Min ister Russell at Caracas. cabled the state department regarding the situ- ation in La Guaira expressing the general belief that the disease there is the plague. He says that the Vene- zuelan government today officially an- nounced the existence of a suspicious contagious disease at La NGlaira. the nature of which has not been deter mined. No steamers are touching that port. which has been quarantined for fifteen days, and traffic is suspended on the railroad.

Roosevelt. The charge is made that the contract gives the Pacific Gas and Electric company a monopoly of the government power in the city of Phoe- nix, that it has secured it at a low rate and has the opportunity to charge the people of Phoenix a high rate for it. having an exclusive franchise; that competition will be impossible. etc. Of necessity the effect of such a condition as the fears of those taking the initia- tive suggest, would be accusing the in terior department and its representa- tives through the reclamation service
 of having been either outwltted by a private corporation, or having know ingly participated in making a con tract that is not for the best interests of this valley. Those taking the initia- tive make it clear that they do not be- lieve that any official of the govern ment should be accused of either graft or crookedness, but the implication is that they might have been caught nap ping, in which event the fact would be patent that a mistake had been made and that all the people want is that it be rectified without prejudice to any body They admit however that there

IA BRITISH EXPERT
 ON AMERICAN NAVY
Next to That of His Own Country, the Best in the World.

Boston. April 21.-In an interview published today Sir Vim. Hepry White. for nearly twenty years the re- sponsible designer of all British war ships, comments on the recent criti- cisms of the American navy After declaring that the criticisms were un- founded in fact, and supplementing his declaration by long technical eX- planation. Sir William says: There is one thing more that I would like to say, and I think it vital I have known the American navy from the start. It is not generally known that the modern American navy started with the purchase of two of my de- signs from the Armstrongs. That was in 1885. From these designs the Charleston and the Baltimore were built
 The first thing l want to say in this connection is that you have naval architects as capable as any, in my Judgment, in the world. The second thing l want to say is that your ship building yards are quite equal to any we have in equipment, management, and all that.
 And the result is. in my opinion that you have a fleet, ship for ship comparing ships designed at a given date-that is the only fair compari- son@equal to anything the world con tains

RE-TOLD TALE
 OF CORRUPTION
By Supervisor Gallagher the "Disbursing Agent
For the Third Time Tn the Ford Case He Details His Disgrace.

San Francisco. April 2l.-James L. Gallagher. who according to his own testimony, was a ''go between" be- tween the board of supervIsors, of which he was chairman of the finance committee. and Abe Ruef, today for the third time told of corruption at the trial of Tirey l.. Ford, general coun- sel for the United Railroads.
 Gallagher repeated his testimony given at the two previous trials of Ford, giving in detail the transactions by which he received from Ruef $4,- 0O0 for each supervisor for the pass age of the ordinance permitting the United Railroads to transform the ca ble roads into trolley systems a few weeks after the fire in April, 1906, with the exception of Supervisor Andrew M. Wilson and himself. Wilson was given $10.000 and Gallagher. acting as disbursing agent for Ruef, said he pensation."
 Gallagher was subjected to severe cross-examination when taken fin hand by A. A. Moore, senior chief counsel for Ford at the afternoon ses- sion of the court Moore several times appealed to Judge Lawlor. de- claring that the witness was argumen- tatiVe in his answers, "coIng all the Dlking'' and evading questions. The court held that the witness had a righ. to explain his answers.
 Counsel for Ford probed deeply into Galaghers life, and brought out that he was once grand president of the order of Native Sons of the Golden West, and acting mayor of San Fran cisco. that he was defeated at the polls for superior judge, and endeavor- ed to get the nomination for the appel late bench. part of the supreme court. but failed to secure it. He even ad- mitted having had ambition 10 become governor of the state.
 Then if you were not higher up were you as high as you could get?' asked counsel for Ford.
 Yes" replied witness.
 Gallagher stated that he had tenn porarily retired from the practice of law and was now building houses and was engaged in the real estate busi- ness
 More frequently confronted the wit ness with a transcript of his testimony at the two previous trials of Ford and asked him to explain some slight dis crepancy between it and this present testimony. On one occasion he asked Gallagher if he had not been doctored up" The witness emphatically de- nied this.
 How soon after going into office did you organize your board of plunder- ing?" asked Moore.
 An objection of Prosecuting Attor- ney o'Gara to this question was sus- tained. Gallagher admitted that per sonally he was in favor of the trolley franchise and would have voted for il even if there had been no money con- sideration in it. He strongly objected to the word "bribing." the term used by counsel for Ford in describing Gallagher's transactions.
 His cross examination will be re. stunned tomorrow.

RENEWED INQUIRY
 INTO $. P. RAItS
All Right if Necessary to Meet Com petition and Are Not in Discrimina- ton.

san Francisco, April 21-In he con tinuation of the inquiry by the state railroad commission into the charges of rate discrimination made against the Southern Pacific railroad. eleven witnesses were placed on the stand tO- day by Attorney General Webb. AL though all were convinced of the in iquity Of rates which are discriminat- ing between individuals they thought a rate made to meet competition would be all right enough if equally applied.
 The same view was accepted by the Attorney General and by Peter F.. Dunne. counsel for the Southern Pa cific. The difference of opinion lay as to whether the railroad company has been impartial in distributing the fay ored rates or had been guided by some special consideration.
 Several grain buyers who do busi- ness in the San Joaquin valley testi- fled that in certain localities they were prohibited from purchasing on account of more favorable rates for hauling grain granted to Miller & Lux Storekeepers al interior points testified also to lower rates granted their competitors.

 MT. Bacon said he was agreed that it was spectacular performance, but" he said. it may be q very dan gerous Derformance-
 Mir. Hale disclaimed any purpose to charge that no good would come of the trip around the world. He referred to il as spectacular in the sense that it was most remarkable and wonder fui.
 MT Bacon said he hoped that the report that the fleet was to go around the world would prove incorrect He not only looked upon it as dangerous. but also as expensive. saying it would cost million dollars to take the fleet through the SueZ canal alone.
 Mir. Beveridge inquired whether there were facilities Tn the Pacific for making necessary repairs to the fleet" Mir. Haie replied that that was one of the questions that would have to be taken up. It would, he said, cost ten millions to supply those facilities.
