WILL ALLOW EXPENSES.
Sheriffs Who GO Out Of the Territory
will Get Allowance.

! At Prescott after several days of
consideration Attorney General Clark
and District Attorney Morrison have
reached a decision in the matter of
the payment of sheriff's fees and ex-
| penses in extradition cases. The
question was referred to the district
attorney by the Yavapai sheriff's
office after the extradition of ]. II.
Fry from La Junta, Colo, a few
weeks ago.
District Attorney Morrison con-
suited the attorney general and a
correspondence also ensued between
Governor Kibbey and both attorneys.
i The law bearing on the payment of
extradition fees has been construed
one way and another by different dis
trict attorney, in the past ten years,
some holding that the territory
should pay all extradition expenses
and others that the county where the
crime is committed should stand the
entire expense.
Governor Kibbey was asked for an
opinion in the matter by Attorneys
Clark and Morrison. The governor
takes the position that the territory
should and will only pay the actual
expenses of an officer, incurred in ex-
tradition cases, outside of the boun-
Diary lines of the territory. His
position is that the county should pay
the legal fees to the officer inside the
territory.
Basing their theory of the law on
the presumption that as soon as a
sheriff of a county crosses the boun-
Diary line of the territory his author
ity as sheriff ends. Attorneys Clark
and Morrison agree that where the
sheriff is the agent of the territory,
in an extraditiOn case, he is entitled
to the statutory fees allowed in the
execution of a warrant from the
place where it is issued to the terri
torial boundary line, such fees to be
paid by the county.
In the case of Sheriff Murphy, of
Pima county, who sued the territory
for the statutory fees in an extra
dition case, Judge Kent decided that
the territory was not liable except by
order of the governor.
E. E. Ellinwood, formerly district
attorney of Yavapai county, gave as
his version of the law that the terri
tory should pay all expenses in ex-
tradition cases. 1t was formerly the
custom of the board of supervisors of
Yavapal county to pay mileage to
the sheriffs in the execution of extra
dition matters.
Joe Roberts, when sheriff of
Yavapai county, demanded payment
from the territory for the expenses
of an extradition case outside of the
boundary lines. Payment was re-
fused, and the matter is still pending
in the territorial auditors Office.

Coins Valued at Over a Billion Dollars
Disappear From Circulation.

According to statistics recently
published, the French people in the
last century or so haYe made away
with 81, ,65S, 900, 900 in actual specie,
and no one knows where it has gone.
1t is calculated that the total amount
of gold, silver, and bronze coin which
should have been in circulation in
1906 was S3,O56, 100000. The oldest
gold pieces now current in France
date back to 1908, and the silver to
1852. In the circulation full account
has taken of all the money withdrawn
by the mint. All allowances made, it
has been found that the above figure
is that of currency which should have
been extaut in France last year.
BY a computation, particulars of
which are not given, it has been de-
termined that the amount of money
in circulation at present in France is
worth only 81, 1893, ,OOO,O 900. The deficit
accordingly reaches the figure given
above. Where have these millions
gone?

United Verde in Big Suit.

In the district court at Prescott
the respective attorneys in the now
famous case of the Territory and
Yavaipa county, through the tax col
lector, VS.. the United Verde Copper
company for the collection of 81 ,250,-
600 assessment, agreed on a state
ment of facts in the case, which was
submitted to the court, who took the
matter under udvisement, decision
to be rendered later.
This marks another step in the
matter that has become more or less
historic, and of territorial import
ance and which has been-one of the
most bitterly contested cases ever
tried in Arizona, besides serving as
an issue in several political cam
paigns.
The controversy arose originally
over the assessment of the United
Verde property by Assessor Wallace
Willard in 1902. The assessment
amounted practically to 81 ,25O,OOO and
was strenuously resisted by the cop
per company before the local board
of equalization, but after trembling
in the balance for long while, dur
ing which the board was assailed in
office and on the streets by partisans
of both sides, the assessment was
finally sustained.

Already the cry has gone up that,
despite the building of two other
buildings, the schools are overtaxed
with pupils and more buildings must
be built or more room provided in
some other manner. The normal in
crease of the school population is al
ways large and when city is con-
tiuually growing. as is the case with
Douglas, the increase of course be-
comes greater. The matter of pro-
viding more room for the overflow of
pupils that will certainly be had
next summer is now engaging the at
tention of the board of trustees, who
are considering how to meet the
situation in advance of its coming.
1t is felt that with the rapid building
up of several settlements in the
northeastern part of the city small
school is needed to accommodate the
children there. An extension of the
high school building is possible with
out destroying the harmony of the
architecture and a further enlarge
ment of the Fifteenth street school
can be made. Albert Stacy, presi-
dent of the board, expressed the
opinion that something will have to
be done and that action must be
taken now so that the plans may be
carried out the coming summer
months. Its quite problem-this
school question in Douglas" said Mr..
Stacy. ga number of rather popu-
lous detached settlements have
sprung up on the outskirts of the
city that seem to require schools.
None of these are large enough for
large school building and all are
quite distant from each other. A
number of small schools for the pres
eut seems to afford the best solution
OF the problem. ."-American.

WIN Not BE Fair?

In fierce attack upon the Santa 70
railroad, the Leavenworth Times says
the advertising manager Of that road,
Mr.. F. J. Savage, declares he will
give no advertising to newspapers
that stand up for the right Of the Peo-
pie or allow their columns to advo-
cate decency in the conduct Of great
railroad corporations.
OF course every reader Of the Times
knows that Mr.. Savage never made
any such statement, and it is little
credit to q great newspaper like the
Times to make itself ridiculous by
making a statement Of the kind.
Whatever Of good there might have
been in the editorial was wholly wiped
out by this assertion.
We take 1t, however, that what the
Times really meant to say was that
the Santa Fe road would not give ad-
vertising to newspapers that abused
the roads. This is matter OF bust
ness that is wholly between the road
and the newspaper interested, II the
Gazette should come out tonight, and
every night for the next month filled
with abuse Of certain reputable and
prominent businessmen, and should
criticise their methods Of doing bOsi-
ness, and denounce them as thieves
and robbers, could it in good faith,
and with any honesty Of purpose 60
to those men the next day and de-
mand advertising from themP II 1t
did, the inference would DO plain,'that
the attack was made for the purpose
Of blackmail, and with the idea Of hold
ing them up. Businessmen do mot
advertise in newspapers that abuse
and villiiy them, unless they are per-
sonally vulnerable, or their business
methods crooked. y 8i p
The same rules Of business that aP-
ply between the newspaper and the
drygoods merchant will hold good be-
tween the newspaper and the railroad.
No railroad manager will care to pay
for advertising in . newspaper that
denounces the officials Of his road as
set OF thieves and robbers. That Is,
IL will not do 1t unless they are
thieves and robbers, and they want to
buy the newspaper of. Human ma
turo is the same wherever you find 1t,
and the man who is not coward o.
scoundrel will fight back. Or at
least, he will not give favors TO men
who abuse him in preference to giving
them to men who are fair.
And above and beyond all, II comes
with poor grace from a newspaper
conducted for so many years BY Col.
ID. R. Anthony, and now edited BY
his Congressman son, to make such
charges, for the Times never asked
quarter nor blaokmail, and 1t seems
strange now that Il should Advocats q
measure 80 utterly foreign to every
policy Of lie past history. -[LAwrsnes
