Various Cries and Calls Not the Me.
dunn Of Communication.


Huxley thought that because of the
absence of language the brutes can
have no trains of thoughts, but only
trains of feeling, and this is the opin-
ion of most comparative psychologists.
l am myself quite ready to admit that
the lower animals come as near to
reasoning as they come to having a
language. Their various cries and
calls-the call to the mate, of alarm,
of pain, Of joy-do serve as the me-
dunn of some sort Of communication,
but they do not stand for ideas or
mental concepts any more than the
various cries of child do. They are
the result of simple reactions to out
ward objects or to inward wants, and
do not imply any mental process what
ever A grown person may utter
cry of pain or fear or pleasure with a
mind utterly blank of any ideas. Once
on moonlight night lay in wait for

tening to her talk. There was really
no reason for her going in so des-
perately for music,

able to exchange more than word

Colgrove said her talent was won

TROUBLE WITH HUSBAND
 DRIVES MAGGIE VALENZUEIA :.
 TO STRANGE VACCINATIONS.

PHOENIX, May 26.--Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis late yesterday afternoon took into custody girl named Maggie Valenzuela, who is undoubtedly insane. She recently had trouble with her hus. band, young Mexican, and they scpar. ated She told the officers she had been employed lately in the family of the, manager of the Airdome. She is small and q delicate looking Mexican girl and her dementia seems to take the form of a belief that she is destined for great achievements on the stage. At. tention was first called to her Friday night by her conduct at the Airdome when, it is said, she sought permission to go on the stage and sing song. Yesterday she went to the natatorium and laying aside her calico dress she attired herself in sort af bridal eos. tune, decorating herself with garlands of flowers and then sauntered forth on tho streets to parade. She was soon taken into custody but did not appre ciate at first that she was under arrest. Her conversation was lucid but ridieu lous. She insisted that she must go at five clock az she had lots or work to do and she had to hustle because she said that she had to pay the members of her theatrical company couple of hundred dollars per week. She seemed very nervous and apparently inofren. sive but was also irresponsive. ..

NEGRO NAMED MITCHELL SUSPECTED or MURDER OF
 KENNEDY AT FLAGSTAFF.

FLAGSTAFF, May 26.-As q result of statement made by a negress liv- ing on the south side of the track near the point where the body of Mert Ken. nedy was found, three negroes were arrested and a preliminary hearing giv- en them before Judge Milligan Sat urday.
 The negress reported to the sheriff s office that the negro named Mitchell had no money the night previous, tho following morning he came to her place with money. The dead man s hat was found in her yard and on examination it was found he had railroad ticket belonging to Kennedy, vicious looking knife with stains on the blade resem. bling dried blood.
 Mitchell claimed to have bought the knife at Holbrook for sixty cents; the knife could not be identified as be longing to Kennedy.
 There is no direct evidence against Mitchell but his actions, stuff in his possession and his chance remark to the negress give color to the theory that Kennedy was murdered and his body dragged to the track where at least two trains ran over him mangling his body in such manner as preclude the possibility of finding any wounds that may have been inflicted.

 Leaving Bill Williams Fork, accom-. ospied by D. A. Durfee, another min. jus man, and equipped with shovels and other tools, Fenner sent the alkalai s,,iued White north to the railroad and then followed the transcontinental line n inc Colorado river, one place for miles using the dry bed of stream ina, flows into the American Nile, in nreference 10 the co-called road. Reaching the Colorado at Topoc there i. road north l2 miles to the ferry md Fenner and Durfree tried to reach ,be ferry, but never got over four miles, as the silt of the river bottoms rave no traction. For seven hours the ,so men shovclcd and struggled and only made two hundred yards; mean while the temperature in the river bot tom was no in the shade and no shade. During this time the men drank five gallons of water.
 At night the car was worked back over the entrance to the great bridge
 over the Colorado. Working all day without food and with the town of
 Needles only twelve miles away yet
 unreaehable, the two worn-out motorists
 cOaxed some sleep out of pile of tics
 and jumped the first freight train,
 which did not come along till daylight.
 Filling up with food at Needles and
 finding out about trains they rode bach

 ready to take to the railroad track
 behind the first westbound train, as it vas impossible to get off the track for
 twelve miles on account of the high embankments, bridges and absence of
 roads and hard ground.
 The cantilever bridge is l0s0 feet long and ther are six more bridges in the twelve miles. At Needles it was necessary to stay two days for Mir. Dur fee to recover from the nervous strain before going on. Much of the way to Daggett, where the road through Caion Pass leaves the desert and runs to Gods country, the ties were pounded as the deep sand aloong the railroad has long been considered impossible for automobiles. Some of the time not over three miles an hour could be made. Both rear springs were broken, but Fenner did not let tn atworry him and finally reached Los Angeles at ? o'clock n the morning after five days of driv- ing.

REFORMER |S EXCUSED FROM
 GRAND JURY

PHOENIX, May 26.--J. W. Canning is not sitting on the grand jury, which met today after a recess of ten days, to consider the alleged election frauds in the Fourth ward, at the last city election. Canning is not discharged from the grand jury entirely, but he may not sit with his fellow jurors while they are hearing evidence in the Carr-Gardiner cases.
 When the jury was brought into court the jurors were separately exam ined by J. l.. F. Alexander, attorney for the defendants. The democrats had been making open threats that Canning should not be allowed to serve. They declared that he had made statements that he would "fx that big black nig Der, ' referring to Gardiner.
 When the juror was placed on the stand he admitted readily that he had made statements that he would "do thirgs" to both Carr and Gardiner. He was questioned closely by Alexander as to the exact statements he made. In one or two instances Canning declared that he had not made the statements attributed to him in exactly the same words as those repeated by the exam iner.
 After Alexander had finished ques- tionng Canning about the statements, he said:
 "Mr. Canning, you pose in this town as something of moral reformer, do you not!''
 "I do, and Tn begin on you some of these days, replied Canning, quick as flash.
 Alexander started to reply, but Judge Kent stopped this barley, admonishing both men against ndulging in person. alities.
 The court asked Canning if he wished to make statement. He replied that he did, and began to tell about the time when Carr told him that he had bought l50 votes. Judge Kent interrupted him, telling him that such testimony had bet ter be reserved until he was before q trial jury. eff that is the kind of q statement you are going to make, you had better make none at all, {" the court advised him.
 "That's just the kind l was going to make,' said Canning. Canning declared that while he was prejudiccd against the two men, that would not influence his vote in the least. He helped to indct them in the first place, but denied that he would have done so had he not thought the evidence warranted it. He would not do so this time if sufficient evidence was not introduced.
 The court decided that since he was pre1mdiced against the defendants, it would be better for him not to take part in the deliberations of the jury in these particular eases.
 When Phil Ensign was examined Alexander tried to make him admit that he had made the declaration that Carr and Gardiner had beaten him as delegate to the republican county convention. Ensign denied this and was passed. The examination of the other jurors was quickly finished.
 The jury went into session, hearing evidence against the defendants. Two weeks ago Carr and Gardiner were in-
