TOWN TALK
By THE NAN ABOUT TOWN.

There are girls, and not a few,
Right here, and elsewhere, too,
Who jump sidewise at view
OF brass button.
And herewith tell you true
That they very often do
Little things that 1 and you
Would like to butt in.
For example, don't you know,
That we often have no show
With dainty lass to go
To a ball.
For a fleet, mayhap, in port,
Has lot of girlies caught,
Temporarily, tbs thought,
And that is all.
But the button has a charm
And to take s"ilor's arm,
Why, there really is no harm
They are knowing!
Since they are not here to stay,
Let's inspire them on their way
With hug and hip-hurraay,
For they are going.
1t is often strange, but true,
What a gentle dame will do
When she knows you're passing through
And can't stay.
Should you be a neighbor, though,
There is scarcely any show
For a whisper soft and low,
Sad to say.
For a lass will often smile
And will lend her hand while,
Though her heart is free from guile,
AS sure as shooting.
And when it is goodbye
She may even really cry
And there's parting with a sigh
That he is scooting.
And yet we won't be sad,
For the sailor boys are glad
And the glances that they had
Were admiration.
faint the buttons that inspire,
But the gallants they admire,
And I'm sure we don't require
An explanation.

When he shot Annis he wore civilian
clothes. Although accused of murder
by the state Captain Hams status as a
soldier remains unimpaired
Strict orders have been issued by the
war department at Washington against
allowing Mrs. Hams within the Fort
Hancock reservation. The war depart
ment acted after receiving word from
the quarters of General Hams.
Upon her visit to the fort last week
Mrs. Hams, after making a desperate
effort, failed to secure even a sight
of the three children. She was refused
admittance to General Hams quarters.
AS a result of the order from Wash
ington the strong guard surrounding
Fort Hancock has been increased.

WHISPERS! Yes and then more
whiskers. There was nothing to be
seen Thursday morning but whiskers
in the office of Collector of Internal
Revenue Drake when Deputy Jeramiah
w. Doyle returned from Maui The
hirsute growth resembled a cross be-
tween that of a mountain goat and an
ourangoutang and were a JOY and
delight to all till Doyle received his
months pay and signed a contract
with the barber.
Deputy L. L. Harding tells the story
of the birth of the Whiskers as fol-
lows: you see Doyle and l were up
in the Kula country on Maui where
they have been having such a terrible
drought. l had taken along a flask of
the wine which they are making at
Ulupalakua and when we wanted wa
ter to shave with and could get none l
used that. Doyle had forgotten to
bring any liquids with him and had to
wait. He then tried, about three days
after, to shave, but at the first cut his
razor broke, and after seeing him you
can appreciate why. The result was
that he had to let them grow. When
we got back to Waikiki he tried to get
the Japanese woman who runs the
barber shop there to shave him, but
she took one look and ran for the
sheriff for protection, thinking that
he was a wild man whom | had
brought in from the mountains.
What he is going to do to get rid
of them l don't know but have adj
vised him to go down to the Homo
lulu Iron Works and have them sing
ed off in the blacIlsmiths shop

JAN KUBELIk TO PLAY
 TONIGHT

Jan Kubelik, the celebrated Bohe- milan viollnist, without question the
 most sensational virtuoso in the world
 today, will play his only program in Phoenix at the Arizona School of Mu- sic, tonight. As Paderewski is su- preme among the living pianists, Ku- belik is, among violinists; not alone because of his infallible technique but because of this interpretative powers. and in that his playing never lacks
 that peculiarly satisfying quality which is called soul Kubelik is one of the few boy prodigies who as he reached maturity. increased in the fullness of his powers. This celebrat- ed Bohemian violinist. playing a pro- gram rich in variety and attractive in selection, is magnet which has drawn all genuine music lovers in all the great music centers of the United States. The musical critics call him the reincarnation of Paganini, the genius who makes his instrument laugh, cry, sob, sing and command at win.
 Kubelik is called the spokesman of Beethoven. Bach, Mozart, Handel and others, that his magic violin is their voice. Kubelik will play but one re- cital in this city, this evening. He is ably assisted by his own accompanist, Herr Ludwig Schwab of Berlin. Mile Bertha Roy, a celebrated pianist of Paris, is the soloist with the Kubelik party this season.
 The party will arrive in Phoenix early this morning In their special car. and will include the violinist's wife, the Countess Marianne Szaky- -Szellm. also his secretary, MT. Junkerman and wife.

MINING OPERATIONS
 IN BOUSE SECTION
A Few Deals Recorded in Santa Maria Country and Work Begun.

Ernest A. Haggott of Los Angeles, mining companies. both in Mexico and in Arizona. was in the city yesterday, having returned from a trip to Sa- lome and the Bouse country. Regard ing mining lines in that section. he 1 stated that while it had not been very lively this winter. yet the past two weeks had been unusually so, a num- Der or mining men from Nevada and l elsewhere having paid a visit to the section and it is thought that they will begin work on some claims shortly The Signal mine in Yuma county, on the Santa Maria, has been bonded 10 the Western Mining and Develop ment company of Chicago and num- Der of men will be put to work at once opening up the property. It is located In the Bill Williams mountains. The McCracken property in Mohave is showing up fine and considerable good shipping ore is on hands, all running high in values.
 A deal on the Howells mine has been closed. the purchasers being New York parties. Within next six months mill of eighty tons capacity will be erected at this property and more ex- tensive operations will be undertaken. surveyor has already gone over the ground to lay out the mill site
 Considerable development work has been done on the claims, and fully 10000 tons of ore is in sight. The ore shows values in copper to about an average of IS per cent. It also car ries considerable gold. as does all or most of the ore bodies in that section.
 A new road is being constructed from the Date Creek siding to the mine and when that is completed the hauling distance to the railroad will be reduced to about eleven miles. Mir. Haggott will return today to the How ell mine and remain there about two weeks while the work is getting started.
 Around Salome mining interests are picking up, as is the case in the Bouse section. The Harqua Hala is running full force and the Hercules is going along as usual. Mir. Haggott says that while the depth of the ore bodies has never been fully determined, that the surface showings are fine. running to high values in copper and gold. And as far down as the development has continued the richness of the ore has been very encouraging. The section has the general indications of some day making great camp.

SflIRAS WENT SOUTH
 AFTER CASHIN6 CHECK
Caught a Local Bank For the Snug Sum of S635-His Whereabouts Are Unknown.

Two things were quite definitely settled yesterday in connection with the mysterious disappearance Monday night of William NJ. Shiras, a payroll clerk in the reclamation service of fices here. One is that he went south on the NJ. & P. train that evening and the other is that he secured $635 on a check that did not belong to him, but whether it was forgery or not is yet uncertain.
 The fact that Shiras went south was disclosed yesterday morning by T. c. Bradley. who read the account Of his disappearance in The Republi can. He promptly reported to the sheriff that he had seen Shiras Mon day night at the depot and that the latter had told him that he was going to Maricopa to meet his brother and his brothers wife. who were coming 70 pay him a visit.
 The fact of Shiras' securing money that did not belong to him was not determined until yesterday. though ever since his departure there has been a diligent search of the records in the reclamation office, and so far as has yet been demonstrated. they are correct in every way. The only fact other than the mans absence which would arouse curiosity, on which suspicion could be based. was information that he had stated on the evening of his departure, that he had taken a s3s check from letter. The books of the reclamation service show no such check he could have had ac- cess to. but in the course of inquiry at the banks it was found that one of the Phoenix banks had paid him s635 on q check on the U. s. treasurer. The check had immediately been forward ed to New York for collection.
 It was learned, however. that Shiras had appeared with the check. signed (by whom is not now recalled), that

WARRANT REMEMBERED AGAINST CHAS. M'DONALD
Attention Called to It by His Arrest on Charge of Dog Poisoning.

l The troubles of Charles Mcdonald been issued for his arrest the night be- i fore out Of Justice Kyle's court charg- ing him with poisoning a couple of dogs belonging to a neighbor some dis tance west of the city. When the story of his arrest was made known at the office of the sheriff IL was recalled that there was warrant there for a man by the same name and that it had reposed in a pigeon hole since last October.
 f A charge of embezzlement had been made against him by c. T. Amos who said that Mcdonald had carried away and concealed a lot of bedding. Me Donald had come down the Verde with him and he let him have some blankets and other clothing which he had not seen since.
 Mcdonald admitted that he was the man Amos meant but he denied that he had tried to inappropriate the prop erty and this was the first he knew that Amos had made complaint. He said that it had been understood that he could enjoy the use of it as long as he remained in the valley. He will be given hearing on that old charge today.
 Regarding the poisoning of the dogs. he denies that he committed that of fense. He said that he had been em- ployed at the ostrich farm where coy otes have been very annoying and that he had put out poisoned meat for them. He put it on the property of the com pany and had no thought of killing dogs.
 The compliments had no strong evi- dence against him but they had under stood that he had boasted of scattering poison along the highway.
 McDonald was released on ball on both charges.

il was not yet filled out as to name, and that he asked if he could secure the cash to pay off a number of men who had been working for the recla- nation service. Being told that he could. he filled out the name of the bank and got the money. No blank signed check is missing from the rec : lamation offices, and the number and signature on the check cannot be learned until it reaches New York. As
 Shiras was not a disbursing officer and rarely handled checks except to carry them from the disbursing off cer to the man or men waiting for them in another room. there is consid- erable mystery as 10 how he could have got hold of such a check.
 Shiras was a pay roll clerk and the most competent one the local office
 ever had. His duties we're merely to receive time checks drawn by others, enter them in his books, take the checks to the disbursing officer, who issued checks on the L. s. treasurer, which he carried back to those in waiting. or sometimes in the event they did not wait, the checks were mailed. But there is no known way in which he could have secured a blank signed check.
 The facts as far as known were laid before the United States district attorney and the secret service office was informed so that by this morning every member of that service Is on the lookout for the missing man. In the meantime the most aggrieved par ty financially at least. is the bank which paid Shiras the $635. It was evidently an irregular and unauthor- ized check and the bank will be the loser and not the government. The reclamation funds are so protected that it is practically impossible for the government to lose, even if its eni- ployes should be crooked. Only in ex- ceptional cases is money handled, the check method being usually employed, and in all cases there is a close check ing of one department against an other. And finally there is always somebody responsible who is in a po- sition to make good if necessary.

Tilt WILD RAVIN6S
 OF DlS0RDERED MIND
The Warm Comment by Chancellor Day on the Presidents Message.

Syracuse, Jan. 31.-Chancellor Day, of Syracuse University, in a discus sion of the presidents message said: T am compelled to say that it reads much like the rawlings of a disordered mind. Other portions in which an appeal is made to. class prejudice and excitement, are large with the sugges- ton of the adroit and cunning, shrewd but reckless demagogue.
 "The whole message is his familiar ranting against what he calls criminal wealth and he proceeds under the slanderous assumption that so great a per cent of the corporate business of the country is so corrupt as to demand special messages to congress. popular harangues by the president and the entire time, ability and effort of con- gress in the volume of corrective legis- lation such as the world has never seen.
 Tt is wrong. a great wickedness, for the Standard Oil company to defend itself, but there is no impropriety in the presidents assailing this corpora 'tion by name, defaming it, slandering it with all the envenomed influence of his great office, while Its cause is still undecided in the higher courts. The square dear has long been a farce and this inconsistency seems to have es- caped Mir. RoOsevelt's ethical standard of which he makes so much.
 AS I am one of the hired book writ CTS referred to, a personal word may be permitted. Not a nickle or a dime was ever offered me by any person. company or corporation for a sentence or paragraph in print in any shape or form whatever. No such party knew a syllable contained in my book until it was published. I was warned that if wrote 1t my reputation would be as-, sailed by the president and every unZ worthy motive be charged against me. 1 have been accused of personal pique and revenge. I am now charged with selling my character, bartering my reputation for pay to a cause l know to be corrupt. From one hears from a high source such islander, can one inn agine a much lower descent of vituper- ation or a more astounding use of the prerogatives of the highest office and influence of our land
 These are strange times when American citizens are to be assailed under the cover of a message to con- gress for exercising their inalienable right of discussion of the policies and
