FUN PoKED AT BoURNE's sUG GESTION. BUT IT IS FULL
 OF MERIT.

WASHINGTON. July 20.--The news papers have poked fun at Senator Jon. athan Bourne ever since was born in his fertile brain the idea of "second s,lective term' for President Roose. welt, whether the president would or no. They have been even more hila. rious over his latest proposition that Judge Taft should give the American people pledge that, when it came time for him to leave the White House. he would not attempt to dictate the se- lection of his successor.
 Possibly it is because the idea came from Bourne that it has been ridiculed. There are certain very eminent men holding office under the present admin istration who think the plan bristling full of merit. They do not criticize Mir. RooseveIt's efforts in behalf of Mir. Taft, but they contend that the use of federal patronage by the pres ident, either to continue himself in of. fee or to determine his successor, is full of peril to American institutions. IL is likely nothing will come of Sena. tor Bourne's suggestion. but had the idea been advanced by MT. Roosevelt, for instance, 1t would have been hailed 'as exalted statesmansnip.

An attempt to free by habeas corpus proceedings Charles Holz of Coconno county. who is held in custody as a witness for the territory against Mrs. Barbara England, charged with poi. soning her husband at Flagstaff, failed yesterday in the district court. Attor. ney Jones, who represents Holz, attack. ed the constitutionality of the act which permits of an important witness being held under bonds when there is reason to believe That he intends to get out of the iuriedietion of the court. Judge Sloan denied the motion and then Attorney Jones asked that the bail be reduced to $500. This was also denied and after further argument the court reduced the amount from 5000 to s3OO0. It is believed that Holz will not be able 10 secure even this sum in Flagstaff.
