WHAT ROOSEVELT WILL DO
Recommend Bigger Army and
Navy.-Then to Africa.

Washington, D. c. Sept. 70
The President, it is said, will con,
tinue to urge an increase of the
battleship output; an enlargement,
OF the military force and of all
those policies and enterprises now
so well known under the Roose-
veltian classification. 1t is not
expected that complaisant Con-
gress will grant all he wants, but
whether it may be President Taft
or President Bryan after March
the fourth 1909, the Roosevelt in
fiuence will actively live in legisla-
ton. and administration long after
he is in the wilds Of Africa or in
his grave.
Recent advices at the War De-
partment seem to presage that the
Panama Canal will be finished in
four years. 1t is hinted that night
shifts may be used on the canal,
or on certain parts of it thus great.
ly Fastening the work. Now that
the establishment of homes and
hospitals is SO complete and the
!! whole working area is or may be
made as light by electricity as need
be, there would seem to be good
practice in working during the
cooler tropical nights.
1t is we'll understood that the
President will continue his stren-
uous life in the wilds of Africa
after his present presidential term,
| and the contrast with his duties
there and here will be as sharp as
, can be imagined, yet there will be
little that is unfamiliar to him.
+, He has hunted big game in other
wilds and whether in the Rocky
| Mountains, or the prairies or bad
lands of the West, or the jungles
of the dark continent, or as the
orator said "whether in courts or
camps, he seems proof against
peril and empowered with ubiqui-
ty". President Roosevelt is a
good shot, and this is the more
remarkable in that he cannot see
without specially ground eye glass
es. He always wears them,
| whether he is jumping fences or
shooting. He is almost blind
without his glasses, but with then,
is one of the best marksmen in the
country.
Army officers are much interest
ed in the report that the annual
message of the President to Con.
gress will urge the increase of the
army until its rank and file shall
number at least 100, 900 men
They are specially interested ir
this bill because they know tina,
the increase of the number of mer

When Reynard Goes Hunting.

Those who have tried wild fowl
shooting know how difficult a matter
1t is to approach within range without
disturbing the birds. The fox's only
weapon is his mouth, and the range
is necessarily short, but for reynard
1t proves all sufficient. His knowledge
Of the habits of his victims prompts
him to a suitable lurking place among
the withered rushes in a clump Sc

and to match the color of his coat as

Well may his cunning be proverbia.,

.SHERIFFS TO
GET No MORE
THAN EXPENSES
important Decision Reached BY
Governor Regarding Cases
of Extradition-Fees Within
Territory.

PHOENIX, Jan AFTER several
days of consideration, Attorney Gen.
eral Clark and District Attorney MIRO
rison yesterday reached decision in
the mater of the payment of sheriffs
fees and expenses in extradition cases
The question was referred to the dis
trict attorney by the sheriff's Office
after the extradition of ]. H. Frye
from La Junta, Colo, few weeks
ago.
District Attorney Morrison consult.
ed the attorney general and cor
respondence also ensued between
Governor Kibbey and both attorneys.
The law bearing on the payment OF
extradition fees has been construed
one way and another by different dis
trict attorneys IN past years, some
holding tlat the Territory SHOULD pay
all extradition expenses and fees and
others that the county where the
crime was 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
extradition cases, outside of the
boundary 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 bound.
airy line OF the Territory his author
oh Ir
and Morrison agree that where the
Sheriff is the agent of the Territory,
in an extradit case. he is entitled
to the statutory fees allowed in the
execution of warrant from the place
where it is issued to the Territorial
boundary line, such fees to be paid
by the county.
In the case OF Sheriff Murphy OF
Pima county, VINO sued the Territory
for the statutory fees in an extradi
ton case, Judge Kent decided that the
territory was not liable except by
order OF the governor.
f. E. Eliinwood. formerly district
attorney here, gave as his version OF
the law that the Territory should pay
lau expenses in extradition- cases. II
was formerly the custom of the board
OF supervisors of this county to pay
mileage to the sheriffs in the execu.
ton OF extradition matters.
Joe Roberts, when sheriff of this
county, demanded payment from the
Territory for the expenses of an ex
tradition case outside OF the boundary
lines. Payment was refused and the
matter Is stiii pending in the Terrific
rial auditors Office.

STARVING in
JUAREz mex.
Poems Laid Off BY American
Railroad Companies Congre-
gate at Border Town On
Way to Interior.

Ell PASo, Jan. 1.-THE city or Jua-
rez is wrestling With q very hard prob
lem at the present time it has 81 200
to feed and ship 1000 destitute Mex
leans from JuaTez TO Chihuahua, while
the Mexican Central railroad refuses
to carry them for less than IS per
head.
The Mexicans have been discharged
from the railroad sections along the
S. p. linss between here and Los
Angeles and are destitute. They
were shipped into Ell Paso by the Of
fcials at Los Angeles and were car
ried by the Southern Pacific.
These men with their families have
been crossing the river for the last
few days and now have reached the
number of 1000 men, women and Gait
dren. They are camped in Cowboy
Park in Juarez where they are des-
titute and the JuareZ officials are con
fronted with a serious problem.
An application was made TO the Mex
len government for help and 81 GOO
was sent for this RELIEF, but the num-
Der of Mexicans has reached such
proportions that the amount will do
very little good.
The officials have applied to the
Mexican Central railroad company for
help in sending these people to Chi
huahua where the government can
take care of them and give them
work. But the Central refused to
carry them unless the regular third
class rate of IS per head was paid.
This can not be done with the
amount of money on nand and if they
have to be fed and cared for in the
park this money will soon be gone.
The Mexicans present a pitiable
sight some OF them not having
enough clothes and not half enough
to eat They walk around the streets
and finally back to the camp, unable
to help themselves and unable to get
help from others.

HENEY STANDS

DECLARATIONS
Well Known Prosecutor Not
Perturbed In Least BY Utter
anCeS of United States Sen

TUCSON, Jan. IA telegram re-
ceived here today from Portland, Ore
gon, stated that United States Sena-
tor Fulton of Oregon gave out today
for publication a sizzling letter in
which he calls upon Francis Heney.
special government prosecutor in the
Oregon land frauds, to either retract
or deny his statement to the effect
that ''he (Fulton) is a corruptionist"
Mr.. Heney in reply to the open let
ter, gave out this afternoon a scorch-
Ing statement in which he stated that
he stands ready TO back up any state
ment he has made concerning Senator
Fulton, and in which he calls atten-
ton to the fact that prominent citi-
zens in Oregon and in San Francisco
have been prosecuted and convicted,
heretofore
MIR. Heney was seen at the. depot
this afternoon just before he left for
Patagonia oil. mining business. He
stated that ne had not seen the letter
Senator Fulton is said to have given
out for publication. He added that
his meage= information was contained
in telegram from a Portland news
paper.
1T is not easy to answer letter
which have not read or seen and ]
will not attempt to do So" Mr.. Heney
stated.
Lincoln Steffens' article on Ore
gon land frauds published in the
| American Magazine, and several or
ticles in CollieEs Weekly make state
ments about Senator Fulton which
are libelous il not true, and which
| charge him with acts which | would
| construe as corrupt. II he denies
them on their truth l suggest that he
test their accuracy by libel suits.
ANY and every statement which
may have made about Senator Fulton
for publication / am prepared to an
swer and substantiate with legal evil
dence when the proper tine and oppor-
tunity arrives.
"Inn the meantime / will call atten-
ton TO the fact that Mitchell, Will
hanson. Jones, Mays and even Puter

Schmitz and Louis Glass of San Fran
cisco each vehemently denied that he

| thereof" Mr.. Heney continued with
81 have made good on each of
them and / viii just as conclusively

he said In conclusion.
It is the belief that Senator Full

date line in the Washington Post in
which Mr.. Heney was quoted as say

this purpose senatorial courtesy"
Mr.. Bristol although his appoint
ment has not as yet been confirmed

as he is re-appointed each term by
President Roosevelt
Another thing which has promoted
a coldDess on the part Of Senator Fui.

the big men indicted in the land fraud
cases are personal friends OF the Ore

one said that this lady's husband was
