DEMOCRATS CONFER
 ON TARIFFaBILL

(Iiearst News Special to the Graphic)
 Washington, April 14.-Democratic senators in conference today bound themselves by resolution to hold to the accepted Democratic doctrine on the tariff for revenue only. They will not oppose the Aldrich raise on tar ifs on luxuries, but will insist on further reduction of tariffs on neces- sities. They will also urge a substi- tuition of the income tax for the in- heritance tax, which feature of the Payne bill was stricken out by Re- publican members of the finance committee in the senate. The Demo- crats will meet again Friday to try to reach conclusion on united action on lumber> hides, oil, coal and other disputed items in the Aldrich bill. The conference. which lasted i've hours. showed considerable dissen- tion on lumber. schedules.

To Freshen Furs

Furs, when taken ont in the fall, es- peeially if the owner is so unwise as to have kept them at home, are apt to have mussed and crushed appearance.
 One simple method of making the pile stand up is to shape the garment first, brushing the hair in the right way until the fur is smooth Then leave it to dry thoroughly, and when dry beat the fur on the right side with a rattan cane. This will make the pile stand out.
 Another method of cleaning furs, which is as excellent as it is easy, is to clean them with bran. Fill dishpan with bran and set it in the oven to warm. Rub the warm bran into the fur again and again until every spot has been gone over several times. When the bran becomes soiled throw it away and replace it. When the furs are clean brush them well, until every particle of bran has been removed. Hang out of doors for a day or two and the fur will be soft, fluffy and full of life.

WILL DEEPEN GRADE AT MESQUITE AND
 HILL STREETS
Property Owners Affected in Unison for Proposed I'm
 provements

According to canvass of the prop erty owners of Mesquite street, made by Contractor Barney Harmsen, there is unanimity of feeling among the property owners affected that the pro- posed cut of four feet at the intersee- tion of Mesquite and Hill streets should be made, and as the result, it is ex- pected that this work will be ordered within the next few days.
 When it was originally planned to grade Mesquite street, there was gen eral protest against making cut of any extent at Mesquite and Hill. As the work of grading that street was carried out, however, it became appar- ent that deeper cut would make a much better grade without damaging the adjoining property and the feeling of the people in the matter was re- versed
 The proposed cut of four feet will make fairly easy grade on Mesquite street and enable it to be used to a much greater extent than would be the case with the present grade.
 Since the work of grading Mesquite, Cedar and Hill streets has been taken up and the benefits to be derived from this work are becoming apparent by the improved condition of the streets, much interest in street grading has been aroused and it is probable that Oak, Sycamore and possibly other streets will be graded within a short time

INDIAN BEATEN ID PIECES NEAR
 KELVIN
Mangled Body Found by Of ficers Who at Once Begin
 Hunt for Slayer

With his body cut to shreds and par tially dismembered, the remains of C.. B. r., an old and crippled Indian, were found in canyon near Kelvin Thursday, according to adyices received at the sheriff $ office yesterday.
 The murder of the old man was atro- cious in the extreme. He was appar- ently beaten 10 death and after the last sparks of life had been extinguish. ed, the body was cut to pieces.
 C. A. 10 and his brother-in-law are said to have perpertfated the artocious crime Why the murder was committed is a mystery as yet. as the man was so old and harmless that no motive can be ascribed for the foul deed.
 When the body of the Indian was discovered, the officers at once started in pursuit of the Indians, who are charged with the crime They had taken to the fastness of the mountains, however, and as they were well on their way to safety before the crime became known, they are still at liberty.

UNUSUAL ACTION IN
 DISTRICT COURT
George Shanley Wants Dam. ages for Defamation
 of Character

A rather unusual damage suit is on trial in the district court in the ac' tion of George Shapley vs. Charles Mar. tin and Sam N. Fritz.
 Some months ago the Shanley Cat. tie company filed suit against Mir. Shan. ley to recover money which it was al. legged he had failed to turn over to the company, after disposing of number of cattle.
 Shanley held that this suit had dam. aged him and as the result, filed suit against Martin and Fritz, whom he claims instituted the former action.
 In court yesterday the testimony of the prosecution was heard and one wit. ness for tho defense exam ned. The de- fense set up by this witness was that the defendants had been advised by their attorneys to bring the action.
 The trial will probably go to the jury today. Attorneys McCollum and Elan nigan represent the plaintiff, with F. C, Jacobs appearing for the defense.

Preliminary Survey of Road to Roosevelt Nearing
 Completion

For the purpose of taking up work on the new Globe Roosevelt road, J. B. Girand, territorial engineer, arrived in this city last night.
 Today Mr. Girand will meet with the members of the county board of sup ervisors, at which time details of the route and construction of the new road will be taken up. One important fea- ture of the construction of the road is the route to be adopted in leaving Globe. This matter. will be settled by a committee of which Mir. Grand, City Engineer B. F. Van Wagenen, County Surveyor Howard Wayne and mum. Der of other road viewers will be mem, bers
 Mir. Girand stated last night to the Silver Belt that the work of laying out the new road would be commenced within short time, as the preliminary survey has already been nearly com pleted As soon as the route of the new road is mapped out and accepted by the territorial board of control, bids for construction work will be adver. tised for and the contract let.
 Actual construction work should be commenced on the ne whighwav early next year.
 The preliminary survey for the new road has been completed from Roosevelt to point a short distance below town by an engineering party consisting of J. A. Parker, Charles Riggs, Leonard Chamberlain and William Wells, who are working under the direction of Mir. Grand.
 This route, after leaving Roosevelt, follows the high line for the greater part of the way, coming toward Globe by way of Miami. The steepest grade on this road is per cent and for the greater part of the way, much lower grade will be established.
 The new road will be about thirty six miles in length, somewhat shorter than the present road, and as it will pass through a lmestone formation for the greater part of the way, the diff culty of maintaining road through adobe soil will be obviated.
 As the laying out of the Globe Roose welt road will necessitatc a considerable amount of engineering work, Mir Cir. and will make his headquarters in this city for some time.
