DR. RAYLAH CASE NO. 2
 FOUND IN NEW YORK
Strange Masquerading of Man As Woman Revealed By
 Attempted Suicide.

PHOENIX, Feb. Skew York city has case almost equal in mystery to the famous DeRaylan case which startled this city a short time ago.
 An attempted suicide recently in New York of a person going under the name of Mrs. Gussie Blickham DAmron, has revealed the fact that the man, Robert G. D'Amron, who for merly posed as her husband. is in fact a woman.
 The woman, who was formerly the wife, when arraigned told the fol lowing remarkable story;
 | Her first husband was Robert G. D'Amron of St Louis. with whom she eloped twelve years ago, when she was Augusta Blickaam, 17-year-old daughter of prominent St. Louis family. Five years ago, she said, they were divorced. Robert c. DAm- ron told a reporter the story of his marriage and divorce.
 But neither the woman, who now goes by the name of Mrs. Sears, nor MT D'Amron revealed the astounding -cifcumstances of their meeting at Cape Girardeau, on the Mississippi, when the present day Robert G. D'Am- ron was Miss Jean Dameron ot that place. Nor did they reveal the fact that D'Amron was always Miss and never a Mir. until the couple went to New York city ten years ago and lived together as man and wife.
 The circumstances were as follows:
 Jean Dameron, an attractive girl. left Cape Girardeau for St. Louis on a river boat. Staterooms being scarce Miss Dameron was assigned to share the cabin occupied by a Miss Angus ta Blickham, who lived in St Louis with her aunt, Mrs. F. H. Neidring- haus. $500 Maple avenue.
 Arriving at St. Louis. the Misses Dameron and Hickman went to live together at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Louis BoeschenZ, a prominent St. Louis musician, who was training Miss Blfckham's voice A passionate fondness grew up between the girls in a short time. After a time Mir. Boeschenz was amazed at certain masculine traits displayed by Miss Dameron, and finally he requested her to leave his house.
 Miss Blickham would, not hear 3f parting from her friend, and they went to New York and rented :t rat on Columbus avenue. Before doing this, however, Miss Jean Dameron was transformed into Mir. Jack D'An: ron
 The St. Louis musician, whp had occasion to 20 to New Y1;x sii ,~tIy after this. visited the co ,pla in their apartment ,wlere he found them liv- ing as man end wife. To Nr. 5ossch. eng and Miss Blickham the former Miss Dameron was known as Jack D'Amron. but to the outside world he became known as Robert G. D'Amron.
 D'Amron had become the head of the lithographic department of big stationery house, and Augusta had opened a typewriting establishment on Fourteenth street.

SUNDAY CLOSING FOR
 PHOENIX Is ND JOKE
Whole Town On Water Wagon To Stay For Tweny-Four
 Long Hours,

PHoENIx. Feb. 5.-The water was fine.
 Yes. Phoenix rode on the water wagon for a twenty-four hour ssretcn and liked 1t; yes. actually liked it. It was novel experience and a kind of joke.
 i Saturday night at midnight doors which had never been closed in the memory of the oldest inhabitant were locked tight while he bartenlers took rest and the liquor was per mitted to age undisturbed. And rntil l2 o'clock Sunday night there was not a drink to be had unless you had made provision for the dry spell.
 The trade in bottles Saturday p3gnt was not as brisk as one might nave imagined. Those who did not rnInx themselves capable of going without a drink for twentyfour hours were very Few.
 Neither was there any rush for Cie bars last night when the thirst par lors reopened. There were no fight 1 ing. tearing crowds around the onors of the saloons. In fact, the business l from 12 to o'clock was not much better than is usual for that period of the night. A few who usually go home before midnight stayed up for a nightcap, and then there were rhe usual rounders who are likely to blow in at any old time and order 8 beer or a cocktail.
 There was much merrimenr on iis streets yesterday over the Sunday closing. But no one complained. ard many smiling face covered Iusty throat
 Have a drink on me. Bill. some one would say.
 Sorry, but I've sworn off" Bill would reply. T wont ever take an other drink not till tonight at 12 o'clock. anyway
 Whats that you have in your peek et' was another standing joke l T haven't anything in my pocket. Why, man, don't you know I'm on the water wagon. We're not allowed to carry anything in our pockets up here. If We did, we'd fall off"
 Phoenix's first dry Sunday became, pretty wet along toward F o'clock. It had been cloudy all day and early in the morning a sprinkle of rail fell. But when Jupiter Pluvius got to work along late in the day there -rere croakers who said:
 Now. you see what you get for Sunday closing"
 But the rain is something that Phoenix likes. For it is the rain, the beautiful rain, which makes the bios sons grow. not upon the olfactory or gans of the old topers, but upon the broad bosom of old mother earth.
 Today beer costs 10 cents glass. It is yet too early to tell whether the raise will cut into the sales of the foamy beverage. Whether the habit ual drink buyer will be mora careful when to treat leaves nothing of al quarter but enough to buy a cheap cigar, is yet to be determined.
 Not ali of the saloons opened at midnight last night. A few remained closed until o'clock this morning.

MORALES VANS AID
 FOR NEW RESERVOIR
Federal Help Is Sought For Big Project In Santa Cruz
 County.

A few years ago the boaEd of su- peryfsors of Santa Cruz county, real izing that the valley of the Santa Cruz was rich in farming land. but consid- erable part of it undeveloped by req son of the lack of water, decided to investigate the possibilities of build ing reservoir at some feasible point for the purpose of storing the flood waters that constantly were going to waste, and ordered Charles E. Per kins, Nogales engineer, to make 6 plat and survey off dam site on the Santa Cruz river.
 Considerable time was spent in the investigations. and after carefully weighing and studying conditions from every standpoint, the engineer reported the result of his work to the supervisors, but nothing was ever done Soon after the organization of the Nogales and Santa Cruz county board of trade committee on irriga- tion was appointed, having for It's oD- ject the securing Of the building I a reservoir by the government on the Santa Cruz river, and after deter mined efforts on their part the move ment was started by the government establishing a gauging station, which has already resulted in much good in determining the depth of water at all times, the quantity of water and the flow at mean and flood times.
 Howard s. Reed, assistant engineer of the reclamation service in charge of Arizona projects under Engineer L.. Hill, made several visits from Phoe- nix to the gauging station and finally reported that he would be able to rec
 ommend to his department that pre- l liminary work be started towards the building of the reservoir as soon as opportunity presented itself after the larger projects were completed.
 The report of Engineer Reed states that about four miles above the, iD- ternational boundary line fin a can yon an excellent spoeSwas secured for the building of 8 dam, but was too expensive a project, for private enter prise. Upon examination it was de. veloped that bedrock could be secur-

TOURING PARTY
OMIT THE RIDE
From Wednesdays Advestiser.)

Secretary Mott-Smsth received
message yesterday from A. L. c. At
kinson that implies that Secretary
Garfield and party have cut the Hama
end of their Maui trip out OF their
itinerary and sailed direct from Ma
poopoo to Kahului. The message was
received here at three o'clock yester-
iay afternoon and was dated AZ Olin-
da. stating that the party had arrived
at the pretty Baldwin mountain home
and that all were well.
To have arrived AT olinda by that
time would make impossible the over
land trip from Hama contemplated and
the suggestion made at the Secretary's
office is that the sailing from the Ha-
waii port was so late and the party
probably so tired that Il was resolved
to make straight for the Maui princi-
pal port ard omit the side features.
Unless II was raining the party VIII
probably have spent last night on the
brink of the Haleakala crater. although
IL is possible that they were resting
comfortably at Olinda. from which
point a magnificent view OF the fertile
fields of the Valley Isle can be OBJ
dained.
The plans for the rest OF the Maui
visit for the remainder of the Secre-
tary's stay in the Islands are;
An inspection of the Kahuiui harbor
will be made this morning. followed
by a reception at Kahului and re-
ception and lunch at Wailuzu and "a
drive across the low lying lands of the
island OF Lahaina. where there will be
a luau and reception. Then the return
TO Honolulu will be made. arriving
here early on Thursday morning when
the morning will probably be taken
up by work in the Governors office.
Lunch on Thursday will be had al the
University Club with the heads Of the
Territorial government departments.
At two o'clock the Secretary viii ad-
dress the Chamber Of Commerce and
will later inspect the quarters at Fort
