TONOpAH STOCKS
IN GREAT DEMAND
HIMSELF
FOR old Crime

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. Ar
wing II. Brookhouse, through tortur-
ings of his conscience because he
burned building in Montana ten
years ago to secure the insurance,
fired a bullet through his abdomen
this afternoon. Physicians give no
hope for his recovery, though he may
live through the night Brookhouse
for ten years occupied a responsible
position with the Armour Packing
Company at Chicago and Denver. He
came here week ago and several
times was about to confess to Chief
of Police Secombe
This afternoon he went to the
Roanoke hotel and registered from
Denver. Half an hour later the
guests were attracted to his room by
pistol shot. He gave his grip to
Chief Secombe, after telling the Off
Ger and Rev. Mark B. Shaw of the
Baptist church the reason for his
wish to die, and asked the chief to
mail certain letters after he was
dead. One letter is addressed to his
father, Robert Brookhouse, at Athol,

POLITICS
IN HOUSE
RECENT MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS- WAS THE
THEME.
(By Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Sen-I
ate today passed the urgent deficiency
bill carrying an appropriation of
over $24,000,OO0. The deficiency ap-|
preparations for the Panama Canal
gave rise to Democratic criticism of
the publication in a paper by thel
Panama Canal Commission, and in
cidentally, Senator Teller declared he
believed the lock canal at Panama
would some day be declared a failure
and that sea level canal would take
it's place.
President Roosevelt's recent mes
sage to Congress on the relations
of labor to capital and corporations
and the public was again the theme
of discussion in the House of Repre-
sentatives today. Interest in today's
proceeding was centered in a speech
by John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader, who, while lauding the pres
ident for some of his sentiments, ex-
pressed the belief that others were
dangerous. After briefly discussing
the financial question, Mr.. Bonynge
of Colorado called attention to what
he said was the absolute insincerity
and hypocrisy of the Democratic
party, as an organization, in its pres
ent attitude toward the President. :
He quoted several passages from the
last Democratic campaign book an
tagonistic to President Roosevelt and
inquired If they accorded with the
present Democratic commendation OF
the President. He charged that
"these utteranees of Democrats made
at this time were simply made for
political purposes. A remark that
Mr.. Cochran endorsed the admins
tration brought denial from that
gentleman, who said the endorsement
of single message was distinct from
an endorsement of an administration.

istence, deposits in lieu of cash this
stock was exchanged for stock of the
Aetna Banking and Trust Company

 McMfIlau.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 5.-(speciaL) The controversy between Sherif James Van Pelt and Circuit Clerk A. M.

MAYNARD YOUTHS
MOBILE MAY HAVE A HOUSE OF
 REFUGE.
Detective Murphy Ia Interested In The Project And Receives Encour-

Mobile, Sept. 5.--(Special)-It has been suggested to the priests and ministers of this city and the county commissioners that part of the old jail be fitted up as House of Refuge for wayward girls and as a place to take care of runaway boys.
 The suggestion Is made by Detec- tive Murphy who has had much to con+ tend with of late in this direction. Within the last thirty days there have been no less than three girls in their teens who have been 1ured to this city under the promise of marriage. only to be left deserted. These girls have, according to Detective Murphy, applied to the police for protection. They have had no place to put them except ing in the Salvation Army headquar- ters.
 Detective Murphy busied himself to- day on the plan to convert the old jail into house of refuge and tonight he said he had met with flattering encouragement.
 Recently the police had to take care of three runaway boys from New Or leans and the only thing they could do with them was to allow them the privilege of the corridors of the jail, a place where they had an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with crime.
