OF October Is, 1907. in which Sutton lost
his life, and as told in The Times of
Tuesday. proved both a disappointment
and a surprise
Todd, who was corporal OF the guard
on the night Of the tragedy, repudiated
and admitted a part OF the now IA
nous interview he is alleged to have
given out In Boston when ne was sum

he finally left the stand, late yesterday

expectations that preceded his arrival

Hughletts action was brought TO the
attention of Major Sylvester, who sum

dered that ne make a full report
Hughlett explained that he was hold
ing up the report because Mrs Durno
didn't want il to get in the papers"
on the other hanC Mrs Durno was
perfectly willing to give out all the
information she had. and to assist the
police i'm every way Mrs. Durno said
that she felt positive Fleischner had
ended his life
The way in which he left his be-
lonEings and the attempt WHICH he
made TO destroy all means of identifCa-
ton on his clothing Mrs Durp, be
lieyes. indicates that he wanted 80 end
his life in such a manner that his body
could not be Identified even if it we're
recovered.
Police Theory.
The letter mailed on the train. the
police assert, is evidence that Fleischner
has left Washington. 1t is thought that
he may have gone as FAR as Harpers
Ferry and jumped into the river on the
outskirts OF the town Had he taken
this method of killing himself. it might
be several weeks before his body would
be recovered and by that time il would
be too badly decomposed to make iden-
tihcatiOn possible.
Why Fleischner should want to end
his life is the greatest mystery among
his friends, many of whom learned OF
his strange disappea rance this morning.
He was a young man of exemplary
habits and was considered one of the
most efficient clerks in the intelligence
bureau He was a Hard worker and Of
dcials of the department say that he
stood IN line for rapid promotion
Not Despondent,
Mrs. Durno said that she is certain
he was not Respondent over a love af-
fair. and so far as she knew lie was
in no financial difficulty
The police say it is strange that
Fleischner should leave Washington If
he really intended to commit suicide.
They fail to understand why he in
made fer him If he expected TO carry
out his implied intentions
The police sent the following 'loOk
out to all the precincts this afternoons:

Deputy sheriff, H. H. Linville from Phoenix came to HOlbrOOk the latter part of the week en- route to Lakeside to get Mir. Vim. Morgan as q witness before the grand jury of Maricopa county. It now seems as if it was all unnecessary as the case against some legal bribers fell flat. All the trouble started from one of the councilmen mak- ing the sta tement or is said to have made the statement that he could have received ten thousand dollars by voting against cer- tain bill. It is now positively known that MT Morgan knew nothing of the affair and his presence in Phoenix is not re- quired. Sheriff Hayden recalled his deputy and what was at first thought to be delightful scan- dal ended by failing to find even a suspicious circumstance.
 Sheriff Woods made a trip to Snowflake and vicinity during the week on business connected with the sheriff's office.

FREIGHT RATES REDUCED
Lumber Rates to Phoenix from Flag staff and Williams Reduced Jan. 20.

The Commercial club is m receipt of advice from the Santa Fe gener- al traffic department that the rate on lumber will be reduced from all Arizona lumber points Flagstaff, i, Williams, etc. to Phoenix on Jan uary %.
 The present rate is $6.40 per ton. rate that has prevailed for years. The new rate will be $5 per ton, d reduction of $l 40 per ton, or $75 on a 25 ton carload.
 The lumber rate has been the subject of considerable negotiation between the club and railroads. Those who attended the conference between the traffic managers and the club officers will recall that the matter was discussed at some length.
 The Santa Fe is to be commended for it's action, and the. club con graduated for securing the reduc tion, which means cheaper building construction, which it is needless to say. will materially aid in mak- ing greater Phoenix.
 The club hopes to have the rate from coast timber points reduced to a more reasonable figure. Phoenix Gazetfe

horses or 2ooo head of sheep. The applications which were approved for permits during five year per iod beginning last season, must continue to be exempt from.reduc- tion below the protective limits of GOO cattle and horses or 1000 sheep, which were established last year, but applications for permits during period of five years which are approved in the future, should be subject to 10 per cent reduction on all stock over the protective limits of 300 cattle and horses or 2ooo sheep.
 It is not necessary that either the protective or maximum limits be established on the basis of the comparative grazing capacity of the range, but on the contrary, the limits for each kind of stock should be established in accord ance with the needs of its owners under local conditions. It some times happens that cattle range within a Forest is very badly crowded and that there is little demand for the sheep range, or the sheep range is located so that it can only be used to advantage by comparatively large owners. Under such conditions protective limit on cattle which would be fair to all owners might not be more than 100 head while protective limit of 1900 head of sheep would be equally fair among the owners of this kind of stock. On a range of this kind a person owning both kinds of stock would be classified on comparative basis and if ap- plication was made for 50 head of cattle and 75o head of sheep by the same person he would be with in the class "A" limit.
 It is believed that the protec- tive limit of 300 head of cattle and horses is fair to the users of the Coconino National Forest and tits suggested that no change be made at this time.
 All applications for grazing per mits for cattle, horses, and sheep should be in the Forest Supervi- sor's office by February [, Iooo. Maps showing the grazing districts are on file in the Forest Supervi- sor's office and can be seen on re- quest.
 For further information, etc, inquire at the office of the Forest Supervisor, Flagstaff, Arizona.

The monetary outlook in New York

vous aGfllction following the panic of
1907.
The question of foreign trade Is
dealt with as follows:
Our foreign trade for the fiscal
year showed some very remarkable
changes. Imports Of merchandise for
the twelve months ending June 30
were $l.S12. 100000. an increase Of
about s1lS00O,OOO during the year.
This increase was partly due TO re-
vivlng activity Of business and partly
due to goods rushed in 10 anticipate
tariff advances. Our exports of mer-
chandlse during the same period
amounted to Sl,6G3 100000, decrease
of S197.000000 In twelve months. This
loss was widely distributed. but was
mainly due TO the shrinkage OF exports
of agricultural products. In conse-
Quence of these fluctuations our trade
balance showed an excess of exports
of only $3.50. 900 In the last fiscal
year compared with s6G6, 100000 for
the wear before. Such violent changes
in the current of International trade,
of course, chiefly reflect the conse-
Quences OF the panic of 1907, even
though partly due to insufficient crops
and tariff uncertainties. The effect
of these changes upon the gold move
ment was very marked, there being an
excess of Si7.OOO.OOO in exports this
year compared with an excess of $751;
900 600 in imports In the fiscal year
ending 1905 For the time being gold
shipments to Europe have ceased, but
large sums are still going to Argen-
tina on London account Unless all
indications fail our foreign trade
should soon return to more satlSfac-
tory conditions Imports should be-
come more normal as soon as tariff
uncertainties are out of the way, and
our exports should recover somewhat
