GETTYSBURG ROAD AS
 MONUMENT TO LINCOLN

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The re. eommendation of former Congressman James T. McCleary of Minnesota, now Second Assistant Postmaster General, that a magnificent highway be bailt from Washington to Gettysburg, . d's- tance of 72 miles, as memorial 10 tausiastie response in Washington.
 For years there has been an agree. ment of opinion that Lincoln should have a monument second in magnif. cence only to that erected here to ;Le memory of Washington. But no one had been able to conceive of n memo. rial that would not appear either gauly or insignificant compared with the sub lime shaft that towers beside the Pc. tomac, commemorating the fame and services of Washington.
 In the proposed road to Gettysburg, many people believe, has been found the solution. If would differ from any other memorial in this country, and running from the national capital to America's greatest battlefield, where Lincoln delivered his immortal address, it would be peculiarly fitting as mon ument to the war president.
 Mir. McCleary's recommendation IS more or less official, for he makes i. as a member of the Abraham Lincoln Me morial Commission, appointed by con gress and consisting of Senator Wet more of Rhode Island, chairman; the secretary of state, the secretary of wor, Congressman Mccall of Massac husetis, former Congressman James D .Richarl' son of Tennessee, and MT. McCleary. The commission sent Mir. McCleary as it. special representative to Europe to study the subject of national memo rials, and should the whole commission adopt his recommendation it is very likely congress would approve the pro ject.

PAID HIS FINE WITH
 THE STOLEN BILL
Rrom Burslay's Da,ly)

Another chapter in the history of the twenty dollar bill belonging to Chico Francesca, which Vito Cimmarrusro peladed guilty to swallowing in the Mint saloon late Wednesday night, opened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock when Mike Mussaeco, serving ten days sentence in the county jail, was caught recovering the greenback from underneath the Mint saloon building by James Maxwell. Mussacco admit. ted to Maxwell that it was the same bill taken by Cim from the table in the Mint saloon which Cim claimed, in the justice court, he had swallowed. After taking the money from the cache Mussacco left for the sherifY's office, where be handed it Co Under Sheriff Neagle, informing the officer that ne wished to pay s5, the balance of the fine imposed on him for contempt of court at the trial of Cim.
 Under Sheriff Neagle handed Mus. saeeo $l5 in change and informed the Italian that he was a free man. Mus. saeco left the sheriff's office and meet. ing several friends indulged in few drinks over his release from the bas. tile. He did not deny that the $20 bill ne tok from underneath the Mint sa. loon was the same taken by Cim from Francesca in the Mint saloon, injulging in triumphant laughter as he related the story of the escapade to those around him. In the meantime, Max well informed Francesca of having seen Nussacco take the bill from under meath the saloon and that Mussaceo had admitted it was the stolen money.
 Francesca and Maxwell swore to a complaint against Mussaco at a late hour last night before Justice of tne Peace McLanc, who issued a warrant for the arrest.

TRACK HAD NOT BEEN
 PATROLLED IN 2 YEARS
CFrom SundaY's Dnilyl


 Preparations are now being made by D. w. Thomas of the Big Bug district, and Lee Thomas, his brother, Co bring suit against the santa Fe for heavy damages in reparation for the life of their brother. Ben Thomas. the fireman who was killed in the disastrous wreck which occurred near Winslow on .June 2s.
 The case has been placed in the hands of Neil B. Fields, an attorney of Albuquerque. who is recognized as one Of the ablest legal fighters in the South. west. Suit will be brought for $40 OOO. and the complaint will be filed in Texas, where the railroads, it is said. are not in high favor with iuries. An. other reason for not bringing the suit m Ariozna IS that there is peculiar law on the statute books which limits the amount of damages which can be obtained in ease of this kind to s5.OO0. Under the federal law, an ac. tion can be brought in any state or ter. ritory through which a railroad travels.
 ID. w. Thomas, who was in Prescott yesterday gathering evidence, has pho. tographs of the Winslow wreck, and one of them shows that the baggage car was literally smashed into splinters. Engine No. 14l9, which has the record of having had the longest service and the least repairs of any locomotive on the line, is also a tangled mass of iron and steel.
 Mir. Thomas has witnesses who, he says, will swear that there has not been a trackwalker on the division for seven years, and that the train was running at the rate of 65 miles an hour under orders 10 make up lost time.
 Ben Thomas, the unfortunate fire. man who lost his life, was 34 years of age and had been in the employ of the Santa Fe for six years. During that period he was laid of for several months, his eyesight having been con. demned as defective by the company 's surgeon at Albuquerque, but later on he was restored to his position. As he had no family dependent upon him, it is said that the company feels under no obligation to pay any damages to his relatives. The latter, however, pro. pose to learn what Texas jury thinks about it.

SURETY COMPANY
 MUST MAKE GOOD
(From Sundays Daily)

tffom Sunoays DauyD
 Judgment for plaintiff was rendered yesterday in the case of the United States versus the Fidelity Deposit Company in the sum of $523.25 in the United States district court here.
 The suit grew out of the loss of a mail pouch containing this amount in registered packages by the mail stage driver between Congress and Congress Junction, October 2l, 1899. The De- posit Company was on the bond of w. R. Hardin, the mail contractor, wno sublet the contract for carrying the mail to n man named Sroor. J. P. Riggs was driving the stage when the mail pouch disappeared. Hardin and Riggs are now alleged to be dead. The amount of the judgment will be divid- cd among five persons who owned money packages in various amounts in the lost mail pouch.
 Dan Robinson, in charge of the Con gress postofiiee at the time, missed the mail pouch immediately after the ar rival of the stage. He called the at tentim of the driver to the fact that he was one mail pouch short but the latter could not give any explanation of its mysterious disappearance. The mat ter was reported at once to the postof' flee department and an investigation was started. Secret service men work ed on the ease many months but no clue of the missing pounch or its con tents was found.
 Suit was instituted against the de- posit company by United states Dis trict Attorney ]. l.. B. Alexander, the judgment being recovered yesterday m the amount lost reported by five per sons having money in the poucn.
 Demurrers were argued by the rail roads attorneys in the case of the United States against the Santa Fe railroad company, the court everything all pleas and demurrers of defendants and setting the hearing of the case for Wednesday. The suit was instituted for alleged violations of the federal safety appliance law. Fifteen separate violations of the law are named Ia the complaint. The outcome is await, ed with much interest by railroad men, railroad officials and the public.

Waaame Spect4tor's Observations.
By Catherine Altman.

Miss Ethel proved a good listener and a good eater as well, for through all her companions dissertations sac had been making steady inroads on the salad, rolls and coffee, while the other girl had barely toueh food and was now toying with her cherry bisque which Ethel ate with youthful gusto. Finally, in the midst of her monologuc, the guest paused and eyed Miss Roose' velt's fast disappearing cream with fas- cinatiOD.
 "Oh. Ethel, dear," she exclaimed patronizingly; "do you know, l would willingly give up all my brilliant pros poets if only had your appetite.'

 ACE Celebrate Two Score Anniversary Last
 Evening
From Tuesday's Dailv)

In celebration Of the fortieth ami. versary of its organization, Arizona Lodge No. l, l. O. O. F., held grand roll call at the lodge hall last evening and at the conclusion of a program of speeches entertained with delightful dance. Nearly 15O members with their women folk attended the celebration and participated in the evenings pro. gram.
 J. M. w. Moore, past noble grand of the local lodge, presided at the meeting and in opening gave an interesting but brief address. He said;
 Brothers, sisters, visiting brothers and guests; We have assembled nere tonight to celebrate this, our fortieth anniversary, and 1t seems fitting on such an occasion that some mention be made of the birth, growth and present condition of our lodge.
 "A little over 70 years ago, a little band of sturdy pioneers of this terri tory and of odd Fellowship in the great Southwest, thoroughly imbuod with the principles as well as the spirit of Friendsnip, Love and Truth, deter mined to organize lodge of Odd Eel lows.
 "They applied for a charter, and on the 18th day of July, 1868, just forty years ago tonight, Arizona Lodge No. was instituted by F.. J. Cook, D. D. c. s.. with F.. Darling. A. O. Moves, Herbert Bowers, N. Thede, C. II. Geyer and F.. !. Cook as charter members. The first officers of the lodge. elected on that night, were A. 0. Moves. Noble Grand; Herbert Bowers, Vice Grand; F. Darling. Secretary, and C. II. Geyer, Treasurer.
 ''Just where the meetings were neld during the first month is not known, as the records only snow "O1d Eel. lows Hall About August Ist they made an agreement with the Masons for the use of their hall, then building, and soon thereafter held meetings there, and continued 10 do SO until tho purchase of the present site, op. which there was x twostory frame structure with lodge room on second floor. The purchase of this property was largely due to the efforts of Brother Beniamin Robinson, who is with us tonight and who has held the longest continuous membership of any present member of the lodge.
 "The little lodge continued to meet in this old building until its growth and prosperity made advisable the con. struction of our present handsome lodge home. During the month of August, 1888, five members were admitted by initiation, and by December 3i, 1888. the membership had grown to 21. Wales Arnold, now of Camp Verde, Arizona, and who will soon again be a member of our brotherhood, is to the best of my knowledge the only Odd Fellow liv. ing who was a member at that time. nc having been initiated in September, ls6s. The growth for the next seven years was slow, toe whole number taken in for that period being 45.
 "The year 1880 marks the first pc. riod of real strength and activity, the enmber admitted for that year being

 WASHINGTON, July ll.-Now that lhe silly season is with us, owners of long cared canipes will wreak their dis. ordered fancies on their helpless pets by having their Samsonian locks shorn m various fantastic fashions. French poodles are the most abused in this manner-erratic tufts of hair left here and there on their canine forms giving them n rather "chawed up' or moth eaten appearance. Newfoundlands and st Bernards are trimmed up 10 look as much like the king of beasts as posi- ble.
 One of the latter was ambling down The street, waving his tufted tail in a friendly fashion that belied the blood thirsty animal he was supposed to re- 'emble. His appearance did manage to extract shriek of fright from very yonng and inexperienced infants, but The older children scarcely noticed him at all. One hopeful, however, was an exception. He stared at doggie long and hard and then his shocked voice was heard to pipe:
 Oh, mama. mama! just look at that dog. He's all undressed down tail way,'

INDICTED FOR
 INNoCuLArINa INJUNs
tFrom Sundays Dsily)


 The United States grand jury yes. terday finished its investigation and was discharged, only two indictments being returned. Jesus Mesa, n Mexi' can, was indicted on the charge of sell ing whiskey to Indians at the railroad depot here in December, 1907. Wncn arraigned in court he entered n plea of guilty and the date of sentence was set for Monday.
 Ygnacio Esquabel, indicted for sell. ing whiskey to Indians at Jerome in March of this year, entered plea of not guilty. Hearing was set for Mon day. Esqusbel was arrested by City Marshal Fred Hawkins of Jerome. A similar ease against Lorenzo Mamirez was ignored by the grand jury, the de- fepdant being discharged from custody.
 The grand jury recommended that the cases of Wong He, Chinese, of Kingman, and a man named Barba, also for innoculating Redskins, be submit ted to the next grand jury. The eases were passed on account of the failure of witnesses to arrive here on time from the Hualapai Indian reservation. Wong He has been at liberty on $500 bail since his preliminary examination and Barbs was liberated yesterday on his own reeognizanee to appear before the next United states grand jury.
