 NEW YORK, May S.-The predic- ton made by leading steel man on the position of the United States Steel Corporation for this year In regard to earnings, financing improve ments and dividend possibilities of the common stock. is significant ana worthy of attention. His statement comedies the bonding of the plant at Duluth and Gary and that the earn lngs Of the corporatifn this year will be of large scale and finally that the common will be placed on a 5 per cent basis the coming fall, hence the recent heavy inside buying of this security might be explained and that a slow and heavy improvement may be looked for during the coming months. What pertains to the position in steel is indicative of early every ether line of trade, and as the prices advance fer crop growing the secur- fly list will respond to favora ble con ditions very rapidly. We are of the opinion that in the market in the re- cent week that values have forged ahead too fast, and that a readjust- ment is again due of the speculative position in Wall Street, hence a set back early the coming week may be expected

PHOENIX, May S.-Mulford Win I sor, who was named by ex-Governol
 Kibbey, under the provisions of ar act of the Twenty fifth Legislature. te
 inaugurate and carry out the work ol
 compiling and writing Arizona's his
 tory, has headquarters in the capitol
 building, in portion of the third floor apartments originally designed
 for the Supreme Court. There he is busily engaged. from morning unti far into the night, mapping out his
 campaign for the collection of histor | ical data.
 If careful and systematic prepara
 tion means anything, there will not
 be much lacking in Mir. Winsor's Histor of Arizona. His enthusiasm too. is apparently limitless; and what with a wide knowledge of the Terri tory. its geographical and physical
 conditions and its people. and his splendid attainmeats as writer, il would seem that MT. Winsor's equip ment Sor the tasc assigned him is as neaf.y perfect as it well could be.
 Asked for an interview. the histo. rian went to the heart of his subject with characteristic directness:
 Tt is truly an inspiring task. if task it, may in truth be called, that has been delegated to me. l am willing and eager to give the best years and the best effort of my life in carrying it to a successful conclusion-not for any credit that may attach to the writer of Arizona's history, though hope to deserve some credS for the work I shall do, but for the great and lasting benefits it will accomplish.
 The story of every state and every political or sectional division of the Union is rich in lofty example, in in spiration. in noble achievement--in all the things which go to show forth the strength of character and un- quenchable spirit of your true Ameri- can pioneer. None of them can ex- eel in these riches the true history of Arizona. carved by an heroic race out of her mountain fastnesses and des- ert wastes. In ancient lore and le- gend; in romance; in bloody local wars and tribal contests; in those terrible tragedies which have inyari. ably accompanied the white mans NHStWdTu HudTCu, III OlucI anu HlOTe terrible tragedies unknown outside of the Great American Desert; in the battle for commercial recognition in all that comprises the typical his tory of a typical American common wealth-Arizona excels.
 "The most difficult work of her his torian will be. not to secure fund Of material with which to regale his readers, but rather to separate the romantic and entertaining real from the fascinating unreal-in other words. to winnow the chaff from the wheat To the casual reader, were all of Arizona's legend put into print, the chaff and the wheat would look much alike, and to the reader for entertainments sake alone. one might be as highly regarded as tBe other: for Arizona's history will be found to contain an immense fund of the truth which is stranger than fiction.
 Tn thrilling achievement this Ter ritory's pioneers are worthy n rank with the Boones. the Kentons and the Crocketts, whose fame perpetuated in history and story. is on every schoolboy's tongue. Certainly it is fitting that Arizona's grand old ad- vance guards, who braved not only

MOVING
TO new Home
Hrttiesburg Lodge Will Have
Most Magnificent Quarters In
The State.

Work on the new home of the Hat
tiesburg Elks is almost completed, and
by Tuesday next it is expected that
everything will be in readiness to hold
the regular meeting of the lodge in
the new quarters.
This morning News reporter was
shown through the new club rooms.
and it is safe to say that when the
work now in progress shall be CON-
pleted, the furniture and fixtures in
stalled and the minor details attend,
ed to, there will not be a more ele-
giant, comfortable and conveniently ar.
ranged club house in the state.
The new home is located on Rail-
road street, in the building directly
behind the Klondyke hotel, which was
formerly occupied by Weidmann's res
taurant. The entire building, COM
prising three floors, will be occupied
by the Elks, and extensive improve
ments have been made in the interior
arrangement as well as on the outside
of the building.

The Lodge Room.

On the third floor is the lodge room.
This is possibly the handsomest lodge
room in the city, or will be when 1t
is finished, and the floors have been
dressed and scrubbed with pummice
until they are slick as glass. This
room will also be used as dance hall,
and band stand has been provided
for this purpose. On the same floor is
ladies' dressing room and toilet, ar
ranged for the convenience of ladies
who attend the social functions of the
lodge.
While some of the new furniture
has already been installed and the
place put in shape to accommodate
visitors, it is not expected that the
work will be completed before Tues.
day next. On that night the Elks have
class of fifteen candidates to fniti.
ate, and 1t is hoped to have every.
thing ready to pull on this feature in
the new quarters.

Jackson, Miss. Dec. 11.-That Gov
ernor Noel will veto the Quin elec-
tive judiciary bill, returning the meas
ure to the lower house with a message
of disapproval, within twenty-four
hours after the lawmakers convene,
is the confident prediction now being
made around the state house.
The bill provoked one of the liveli-
est debates of the 1908 session. Brief
ly stated, Mr.. Quin, of Kinds, chair
man of the house judiciary commit
tee, attempted to accomplish through
statutory enactment what had hither-
to been supposed to be possible only
through constitutional amendment
abolishing the present system of hav-
ing judges and chancellors appointed
by the governor, and providing for the
nomination at Democratic primaries,
and then submitted to the governor
for appointment.

HUNDREDS SEARCHING
FOR The, SLAYER
Hundreds of Armed Men Securing City
For Fiend, Who Is Thought To Be
Negro-20O Blacks Arrested on
Suspicion.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Savannah, Ca, Dec. 11.-Although
hundreds of armed citizens and police
searched all night last night and to-
day for the murderer, thought to be a
negro, of Mrs. Eliza Gribble and her
daughter, Mrs. Carrie Ohlander, and
who fatally injured Mrs. Maggie Hun
ter, the fugitive was still at liberty up
to o'clock this afternoon.
In the city prison over two hundred
negroes, held either under suspicion
that they may be connected with, or
have guilty knowledge of the crime,
are detained for protection.
AS the revolving details of the trag-
|edy became known, excitement was in
tensified. Fences were torn down and
doors burst in, and every obstruction
in the path of the crowd which would
have afforded a probable hiding place
for the fugitive, was levelled.
1t is realized that in the present
infamed condition of popular opinion
the formation of a mob might easily
follow even the partial Identification
of a suspect.

Special to The NetoS.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. Ito place
the ban on the use of tobacco by men,
bers Of the clergy will be one of the
subjects brought up for discussion at
the general conference of the Meth
odist church at Asheville, N. c., next
May, according to prominent clerical
and lay delegates who have attended
the two Mississippi conference ses-
sions during the past ten days.
1t is believed, furthermore, that the
Mississippi delegates to the Asheville
conference, in case the question comes
before the body for a vote, will array
themselves against the use of tobacco
Heretofore the two conferences of this
state have enacted mild-mannered res
olutions on the subject, and these dec.
larations, while not of absolute charac-
ter, virtually set forth the attitude of
the church against the use of the weed
by members of the clergy.
The North Mississippi conference
adjourned without making a declara-
tion of any sort on the subject of foot
ball, and it is expected that a SINH
lar course will be followed by the
Mississippi conference at Brookhaven.
This does not necessarily mean, how
ever, that intercollegiate athletics will
be permitted at Millsaps college at
the next session. In fact, it is doubt
full whether the board of trustees will
consent to the organization of an in
tercollegiate team until the two con-
ferences give an affirmative vote on
the subject.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 11.-This
city, headquarters of the provisional
government, has been thrown into
alarm by sudden realization of the
strength of the government army
against which General Estrada, lead
er of the insurgents, has been sup
posed to be making irresistible head
way.
Estrada apparently has been hood
winked by Zelaya, and no one would
be surprised if the latter's troops
should appear in this city any hour.
Estrada is hoping for timely aid from
the United States.

necessary to make them comfortable

there are dozen tables, and Elks
who so desire may take their meals
at the club, where they will be pre-
pared by an experienced chef and
served to the liking of the most fas-
tidious. All these floors are covered
with handsome linoleum, the walls
have been repapered, the woodwork
stained and vanished, and everything
possible has been done to make the
place comfortable and attractive.

Thought Plan LEGAL.

Mr.. Quin contended that the plan
was perfectly legal, and would save
the trouble and expense of amending
the constitution on the subject, and
he succeeded in convincing a major
ity of the members of both houses
of the legality of his measure.
Although an ardent advocate of the
elective judiciary plan, having framed
the amendments submitted and adopt
ed several years ago, but declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court
because of the manner in which they
had been drawn, Governor Noel with
held approval of the Quin bill, and it
is still pending in his office for con-
sideration.

To Send Message.

If he should fail to return it to the
lower house within three days after
the legislature convenes it will be-
come law without his signature;
but his friends assert that he will
not follow this course; that it is his
intention to veto the bill outright. and
in defense of his course will send in
a message showing its unconstitution-
ality.
Mr.. Quin has announced his deter
mination, in case of veto. to make a
determined fight to secure the re-
quired majority in both bodies and
pass the bill over the governors veto
In event he succeeds in doing this
the legal questions involved will tn On

Suspected That Postponement Of

Postponement of the Cotton States
been held to-day in New Orleans,
came as a decided surprise to the
local promoters. 1t is not known why
the meeting was postponed or when
to, the announcement being merely
that it had been postponed.
1t is suspected here, however, that
this action was taken for the benefit
of Meridian, as that city has been
somewhat dilatory in the matter OF
getting into line. Messrs. Holmes and
Millette were ready to go and repre-
sent Hattiesburg had the New Orleans

CONFERENCE
Routine Work Occupies Third

j. W. Crisler,
Special to The Neaos.

Special to The Neacs.
Brookhaven, Miss, Dec. 11.-Only
morning session was held on the
third day of the Mississippi conference
of the M. E. church, a half holiday
being taken in the afternoon in order
that the members might attend a re-
cital at Whitworth college, the leading
denominational school for Methodist
girls in the state.
The session was opened with the
usual devotional exercises, conducted
by Bishop Hoss, whose sermon this
morning, very strong and impress
sive one, was taken from the scrip
tural text, MY grace is sufficient for
YOU"
A collection for the federated coun-
Gil of Protestant churches in North
America resulted in the raising of
about $3.50, which was considerably
more than the share of the conference.
Rev. John A. Moore was appointed
agent for this fund.
Absentees Enrolled.

ference, we're readmitted.

tee on memoirs.
Rev. c. w. Huff was located at his
own request.
The name of Rev. E. C. McGilvray
was dropped from the conference rolls,
he having joined the Northern M. E.
conference.

hundred dollars were contributed on
the floor of the conference. His talk
was a modest one, in which he de-

problem is in Christianity.

Victims of Fiend.

a revolving crime, Mrs. Eliza Gribble,
aged 20 years, and her daughter, Mrs.
Carrie Ohlander, were found dead in
their home, No. 401 Perry Street, West,
here yesterday, while third woman,
Mrs. Maggie Hunter, found just inside
'the front door of the house, is at the
Savannah hospital dying.
Physicians say that Mrs. Ohlander
was the victim of a criminal assault
just before she was killed.
Mrs. Gribble evidently was attacked
from behind, as she sat in an easy
chair reading. On the floor beside her
body were found the newspaper she
was reading and her spectacles.
One or possibly two blows were
dealt her. Her gray hair, blood-mat-
ted, shows the imprint Of the blunt

General Estrada is greatly disturbed
and has appealed to the United States
consul for marines from the cruiser
Des Moines to protect Americans. 1t
is known, however, what he really
wishes is Intervention by the United
States to save the insurgent cause.
