HAWKINS wEAKENING-A Wis

itor from Tucson yesterday stated
that Hawkins. the self confessed
murderer who is to be hung on Fri
day, August IA, is beginning to show
a weakneing spirit an dis either los
ing his mind or else feigning insanity.
He acts very unruly and beats his
cell bars with a sheet iron bucket
He kept this up the other day till
a bunch of Cinnamon who were wait
ing to be deported were thrown into
panic, thinking that the Jail was be-
ing battered down. The bravadO
shown by the condemned man a few
weeks ago is fast oozing out and he
has been surly and unruly. His wife
threatens all sorts of dire calamities
to befall Sheriff Pacheco if he hangs
her husband.
WORK AT DAM.-The reports re-
ceived at the local reclamation Of
fees for the month of July show
that about 1900 cubic yards of ce-
ment had been laid, most all on the
low side of the dam. This side is
now thirty feet above datum while
the other is eighty feet. Water dur
ing the recent floods came within
nine feet of the top of the dam. The
water was backed up for considerable
ways and a lake about a mile wide
was formed. All the towers on the
transmission line have been set and
stringing wire is now in progress
The crew is now between LortiIla
flats and Fish creek; the transformers
which have been hauled to the dam
will not be installed for a couple of
months as there yet remains some
work to be done on the transformer
house.

AN INTERRUPTED oUTlNG-Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Loveitt returned Sat
urday night from a camping trip in
the White mountains. They had been
there six weeks and intended to
spend the rest of the summer there
when news of the serious illness of
Mr. McIlwaine, the father of Mrs.
Loveitt, reached them and they at
once started for home. Mr.. Loveitt
says there is no more ideal spot
for camping but it is a difficult 10
cality to reach or get out of. One is
practically shut out from the world.
He had not heard whom the demo-
Gratis had nominated for president
until he reached Globe. Nobody along
the way had heard of the result of
the Denver convention. Jake Miller
is still in the mountains. Mr.. Loveitt
said that he had lost fifteen pounds
already worrying over the construc
tion of a fish and game story which
he thought would pass muster in
Phoenix and not increase his reputa
ton as a falsifier in such matters.
The campers were near the White
river agency which is under the
charge of Judge C. W. Grouse who
made things very pleasant for all of
them and expressed his appreciation
in that way of visits from the valley
people.

RETICENCE AT PITTSBURG
ABOUT WALTON'S DEATH

.rTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 2.--John f.
Walton, one of the best known clubmen
and business men of Pittsburg and Al
legheny, will be buried from his home,
1109 Allegheny avenue, North Side to-
morrow.
That Mr.. Walton died suddenly at
Orange \. j., last Friday, is all tho
family here seems prepared to give
out, those connected with the WalIon
household refusing absolutely today to
give any further information.
BY this reticence a shroud OF great
mystery has been thrown round the
death of tho wealthy coal man.
John r. Walton was, up to the time
of his death, president of the Joseph
Walton estate. Ills father was Joseph
Walton, perhaps tho best known coal
man in the world in his day He died
about fourteen years ago, leaving an
estate numbering high into the mil.
lions. He was the river coal King from
Pittsburg to New Orleans, and the
handling of this immense estate passed
into the hands of the man who has
just died suddenly Since the death of
Joseph Walton the coal business was
absorbed by the river coal trust at
several times its real value, so the
value of the estate cannot now well be
estimated.
The death of John f. Walton was
subject of much discussion around
clubs here today.

Dalrymple Confident, but Is Just

Stick, He Says.
BAIRD BACKING WEST
AND LOOKING FOR AID
Present Incumbent Seems to Be
Holding His Own-Dalrym-
pie Second Choice.

In spite of the odds said to be in
favor of Harry j. West, of Camden
County, for the office of comptroller to
succeed J. Willard Morgan, County
Chairman Alfred N Dalrymple, one of
the two Essex County candidates, said
this morning that his chances looked
good to him. The county chairman will
be in the crowd at the State House to-
night, as win the other candidates from
both ends Of the State.
'As far as ] know the situation is
the same as it was last week., said MIR.

has already convassed the possibilities.

poets look pretty bright to me.

Republican County Committee. was
even more reticent when approached
on the subject.
''All caro- % say l1e declared "is
that J am a candidate and will con-
tinuc to be a candidate. AS to my
chances and where the votes will come
from I would rather not say"
Dispatches from Trenton last night
seemed to give the office to West.
"Davy" Baird, OF Camden County, is
backing West, although another South
Jersey man, Senator John Boyd Avis,
is in the race. too.
The comptroller claims TO have eight
votes in the joint majority caucus to
be held tomorrow noon. and Avis also
counts some as his own. Dalrymple,
it is understood, will receive the full
strength of the Essex delegation.
Twenty-seven votes will be needed
for a majority, unless the proxy of the
absent Assemblyman, George w. Hou-
sci. of Mercer, now in the hands of As
semblyman Edward II. Ginnclly, Is
recognized. In that case the full
strength of the caucus will be in evil
dence, forty Republicans from the
House, and fourteen from the Senate.
The lineup for West just now looks
like this; Atlantic. ?; Bergen, ,; Bur

Passaic, 4: Union, 8, and possibly two
or three more from Mercer and other

of majority and Baird is after those
two.

South Jerseymon being unable to send
things Westward their second choice
will be Dalrymple, it is said. County
Clerk Frank f. Patterson and j Wcs-

what would be their course should such
