 SENSATION Is Brought to an Early
 End The Indictment Against T. C.. Morris Falls to the Ground.

Prescott, May 12, (Special)-Judge Sloan in ruling this morning on a de- murrer to the indictment against Hon. T. J. Norris charging him with hav- Supervisor Sattes to vote for R. P. Talbot as district attorney to succeed E. F.. Ellinwood, resigned, completely vindicated MT. Norris. The court said that if all the facts alleged in the in dictment were admitted, still they would not constitute the public offense charged. His opinion was delivered at some length. The demurrer was sus- tained not on mere technical grounds but the court went into the facts of the case so that his order is in effect an acquittal by a jury.
 The court denied the request of Dis trict Attorney Morrison for a resub- mission of the case to the next grand jury. The order went also to the case of Sattes who was likewise discharged.
 The offense charged was alleged to have been committed on Morch 3. of 1906, following the resignation of Mir. Ellinwood. There were several candi- dates for the office which was to be filled by the board. Sattes was ex- pected to vote for s. F. Pattee, who had been assistant to MT. Ellinwood and when he cast his vote for Talbot, it was rumored that he had been in fluenced by representatives of the United Verde Mining company for which MT. Norris was counsel
 In the proceedings which ended yes terday the attorneys for MT Norris were LeRoy Anderson, Reese NJ. Ling and John Ross. Sattes was represent ed by Paul Burks and Henry D. Ross
 The proceedings leading up to the decision by Judge Sloan took place on Monday. the defense filing a demurrer and asking permission to file q motion to quash in the event that the demur Ter was not sustained. That was op- posed by the district attorney who in sisted that the motion to quash should be heard first Mir. King for the de- fense replied that that might involve the summoning of the grand jury to .lOs- that tbe district attorney had used undue influence in procuring the indictment
 The district attorney then objected to the court passing on the demurrer and courted the investigation of his conduct involved in the motion to quash and also to determine who had disclosed the secrets of the grandjury room. He asked that the members of the jury be summoned as he cOnsid- cred that the insinuation that he had exercised undue influence in the pro- curing of the indictment was a reflec- tiOn upon him as district attorney. - Mir. Ling filed an affidavit in sup port of the motion to quash. After Judge Sloan had read it he said that the fact that such an affidavit had been filed was not a reflection upon the character of the district attorney MT. Morrison said he would leave that to another tribunal.
 After that the argument proceeded upon the demurrer.

THE MYSTERY
 MORE MUDDY
As the GunneSS lnveStiqa.
 tiOn Proceeds
Though Progress is Made In Establishing Identity Ot Victims.

La Porte, May 12.-Evidencc estab- fishing the identity of three additional victims of Mrs. Belle Guinness was the most positive development of a day filed with the contradictory hap penings.
 Roth the prosecution and the defense received setbacks from the discoveries and revelations, but on the whole sub stantial progress was made toward bringing the case to a stage where it will be transferred to the courts.
 The reports of four physicians who conducted the post mortem eXamina- tiOns of the bodies found in the ruins of the Gunness home were given to the corOner's jury this morning. They fail to establish the manner in which the woman and three children met death. It is probable that the coroner's jury will return an open verdict regarding them.
 The mining operations proposed by Sheriff Smulzer were started today in the ruins Of the Guinness home. The man employed to sluice the ashes found the gold crowd of tooth. be- lieved to be from the head of Mrs. Guinness. Almost two dozen pairs of scissors, bent and curved like surgical instruments, three knives, two of a surgical character and one dirk were found in the ashes. There was no mark on the body of Helgelein to in dicate that a dirk was used but he may have been chloroformed.
 One of the neighbors of Mrs. Gun ness states that she once saw about the woman's body a wide belt con taining pouches of various sizes and sheaths which may have been used for knives.
 Friends of Herman Konitzer, who disappeared on January. 1906, have be- come convinced that he was a victim of Mrs. Guinness. They believe that he is the man from Chicago" describ- ed by Lamphere who vanished sud- denly while a guest of the Guinness house and who was said by Mrs. Gun ness to have gone south for health" Konitzer came to the country only three months before his disappearance He had been manager of an estate at Posen. Germany, and was well versed in farming

Washington, May 12.-The senate today passed the post office appro- priation bill carrying amounts aggre- gating $229,072 ,367. As passed, the bill allows S1 day expenses for railroad postal clerks when away from termi- nals. which will incur a total expense Of about S1,0o0,00 Amendments adopted by the senate provide for the weighing of mails annually instead of every four years, and adopted the Gal finger provision concerning the i'm provement of the ocean mail service to the Philippines. China, Japan, Austra- lia and South American ports.
 Senator Rayner spoke on his resolu- tion ordering a court of inquiry on the charges against Col. w. F. Stewart, T.. :. A. now stationed at Fort Grant Ariz.. Mir Rayner read a letter from the president giving his reason for the action taken against Stewart. which the senator declared to be trivial
 The president in his letter said Stewart is impossible" as command ing officer, misJreating men, quarrel ing with civilians, and being incompe- tent Mir Rayner declared that the charges were never furnished to the army officer, and said that the pun ishment" which the president was met ing out to him was unparalleled and in defiance Of precedents.
 He gave notice that he would call up his resolution for action by the the senate tomorrow.
 Rayner read his letter to the presi- dent, stating that is was his purpose to introduce in the senate the resolu- ti0n demanding an inquiry into the Stewart case, and then read presidents reply. interpolating his own comments on the presidents words as he went along.
 At present do not see how @ court of inquiry could be of use. he president stated in his letter, '' do not seen how any court coulT ev- press an opinion which I could pay more heed to than the judgment of Watc, Grant Murray, Duvau and Da- wis. on whose judgment 1 have acted"
 AIr. Rayuer paused in the reading to declare that with a single exception these officers named by the president had been promoted over the head of Col. Stewart to the positions they now occupy.

Commercial Club Pleased With Promised
 Railroad Concessions
All Minor Grievances Quickly Settled and Traffic Men Agreed to Readjustment of Commodity Rates That Will Be Equitable to all

had long ago had there been concerted action to that end.
 F. A Jones, traffic manager of the Commercial club, when interviewed last night on the results of the con ference. expressed himself as above indicated as also did numerous others who were present during the confer ence. When asked for a statement as to something definite that might be cited for the benefit of The Republi- cans readers. he gave many details. more in fact than one could thoroughly exploit in a story of newspaper length.
 Mir. Jones said that to facilitate matters. as the traffic manager of the club he had been selected to outline the clubs grievances. This he did and in doing so referred first to those min or irregularities that all believed could be adjusted quickly and easily. He then took up the matter of outgoing freights to Arizona, New Mexico, Col orado and Texas, territory that for certain products legitimately belongs to Phoenix. This he followed up with the subject of large freight shipments from the east, practically covering all commodities that are brought here in carload lots. This was left until the last as it was fully understood that in changing of these rates. for the benefit chiefly of the jobbing interests. there would naturally arise the ques- tion of competition with coast inter ests. It was desired to approach the subject by degrees. cleaning the state as much as possible, as progress was made, and the result was most satis- factory.
 In respect of the minor matters, they were granted with the asking.

A TOWN BLOWN AWAY.

Lincoln. May 12.-It is difficult to get any definite news from Louisville. Reports are to the effect that the town was blown away, and the people are in a panic. The Burlington station was torn to pieces. and most of the business houses wrecked. Thirty resi- dences were destroyed. The Missouri Pacific station is standing but both the telegraph and telephone wire are down.
 There were four distinct tornado clouds seen at Springfield. They made their appearance shortly before o'clock. Heavy damage was done in the country and it is feared that there is some loss of life. Dispatches received at Lincoln say that there were severe storms along the Missouri river further south, at Nemaha City and Falls City.

It will be a long time before the public fully appreciates the full sig significance of the achievements of the Maricopa County Commercial club in its recent conference with the traffic men of the Southern Pacific and Santa
 Fe railroad companies. The good ef- feet of it can be noted at once by many and as soon as the present seasons crops begin to seek a market there will be greater evidence of this inn portant accomplishment. But there are still greater things that are yet to be worked out for the benefit of this valley more particularly in respect of incoming freights, that cannot be thoroughly understood or explained at this time. They may be celebrated in
 advanced however for they are as ecr- tain as anything can be.
 A feature of the greatest importance is what might be described as the changed mental relations" between the club as representing the people of the valley, and the railroad men. In
 a general way it is understood by all that railroad men seek the betterment of the communities they serve, not only because they are human and like to see everybody as content as possible
 but because it is good business. If
 Phoenix cannot ship freight out or in to a profit there will be none shipped
 hence TO business for the railroads.
 But there has grown up in the com munity a feeling that the railroads had permitted a discrimination against this valley thinking that greater business | elsewhere would more than offset it. This created a feeling in some quar- ters, of unfair prejudice against the railroads. All that is now removed and the conferences of Monday have given all concerned a new light, each on the attitude of the other.
 The members of the Commercial club were smiling with satisfaction yesterday over the happy results of their negotiations So many of their complaints were admittedly well | founded and their immediate cOrrec- ton promised that they appreciated 1 fully the desire of the traffic men to deal justly in every quarter. On the | other hand the railroad men before their departure expressed themselves as not only pleased at their cordial reception but pleased at the reason able way in which the club had gone
 about its business. They felt that the complaints had been made in good | faith and in full confidence that any
 relief that could be given would be of | fered at the earliest moment. They fully appreciate the handicap that the community has labored under and feel
 disposed to do everything possible for better conditions. It was made ap- parent that the railroad men seek to | cooperate to the fullest extent,
 Their interest is in developing big | freight business here as elsewhere | There are some things that the rail-
 road men cannot give by reason of conflicting conditions elsewhere, for
 rate making by any railroad, is a com plex and many sided matter. and this | fact is duly appreciated by the Com mercial club. But much has been se- cured, and much that could have been

THE STEWART INCIDENT
 Is LOOMING UP LARGE
Senator Rayner Attacks the President $
 Course In the Matter
His Resolution Demanding Court of Inquiry VIII Be Brought Up Today for Action lby the sen ate.

Stewart had already been established and he did not see what more court of inquiry could do. This" exclaimed MT Rayner 'is the presidents inter pretation of his constitutional prerog- ative. It has never been paralleled In the military records of American his .'tory."
 The presidents letter to MT Rayner stated that he would give further con- sideration to the senator's demand for a court of inquiry. The president added that there was nothing to find out as nothing additional could more clearly establish the facts. and said that this is one of the many cases of "conten- tious" officers demanding courts of in quiry. to grant that which would des- troy the discipline of the army. The president added that he did not under stand Mir. Rayner's allusion to the joint resolution of congress.
 'I advised him to consult the attor- ney general, but I do not suppose he could throw much light on it either" interposed MT. Rayner amid laughter. Mir. Rayner declared that the president as commander in chief of the army, under the control of congress has no right to inflict punishment.
 MT. Rayner discussed from a legal point of view percedents for congress ordering courts of particular ly in the cases of Gen. Howard and Admiral Schley.
 Taking up the point as to what con- stituted courts of inquiry, the senator said the authorities were all against the president having the slightest right to punish an officer without a court; no commanding general had such rights. He declared that the president was determined to keep Stewart in exile for three years when he would be ref.red on account of age. he add eS The president says to him. stay there or surrender and retire. No srch edict was ever contemplated in the imperial armies of continental Europe"
 He declared that abroad, army of ficers lose their identity, ,but in the United tSates the constitution guaran tees every man his life. liberty and property, unless taken from him by due process of law.
