fol feiture of the public lands claimed
by the railroads under Mr.. Harri-

grant to the Oregon & California
railroad. 1t has been brought in ac-
cordance with the directions of the
joint resolution to which Senator Till

Senator Tillman says in another
part of his speech: In my convecsa-

duced and which he himself prepared
after we had talked over the whole
question, / distinctly remember tell
ing him that my interest In the matter
had FIRST been aroused by my desire
to purchase some of the timber lanl
and that my coming to him was due
to the fact that I had found, upon in
vestigation, that I could not buy
through any agency whatsoever; that
l could not buy it even by a lawsuit
because I was advised by very able
lawyers In the west, among them
George Turner, that in attacking the
holders of those land grants no one
would have any standing in court
except the grantor, the government,

Senator Tillman called upon me at

three weeks before his letter of Feb

He told me he wished information as

heard so much complaint about the
conduct of the corporations claiming

He criticized, with great severity, the
policy of granting the public domain
to such corporations.

HOTEL MEN OPPOSED
TO PROHIBITION LAWS

Salt Lake City, Jan. IA decided
stand against prohibitive liquor legis-
lation was taken by the Western Ho-
tel Mems association this afternoon.
The ground was taken that such laws
are neither of moral nor of social
value. A fund will be raised by the
association to oppose sumptuary legis-
lation. Resolutions favoring a 1-cent
mile railroad rate for the G. A. r.
encampment in Salt Lake and indors-
ing Denver's international exposition
in 1911 was adopted. An organ recit-
al at the tabernacle and banquet at
the Commercial club were the social
features of the day.

daring and systematic plots to steal
thousands of dollars through forgery

arrest Of George Pool, Jack Adams and
Jack Williams through the activity of

CAUSES EMBARRASSMENT.

Paris, Jan. 12.-Some embarrassment
has been unaffected in both official an
press circles as to the exact character
of the approaching visits to French
ports of the American battleships, now
in the Mediterranean. The prevailing
idea is that the ships are not making
official calls that they are merely
coming to give the officers and sailors
opportunities for shore leave Never
theless the battleships will be cordial
ly received.

REPLIES
TO TILLMAN SPEECH
Attorney General Declares Senator Consulted
With Him Regarding Status of Oregon Land
Grant, But Denies That He Gave Single
Hint of Any Connection With an Arrange.
ment to Acquire Portion of Those Lands.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte tonight issued a state
ment replying to that part of the
speech OF Senator Tillman delivered
yesterday In which he declared that
the resolution in regard to the oregon
land grants, introduced by him in the
senate on January 81, 1908 had been
prepared by the attorney general, and
that his interest in the matter had
been first aroused by a desire to pur-
chase some timber land
Mr.. Bonaparte also replies to Sena-
tor Tillman's remarks in the senate
last February that he had not bought
any land anywhere in the west nor
undertaken to buy any,"
The attorney general says
There are two passages in the re-
marks of Senator Tillman, published in
today's congressional record, which de-
mand notice from me. He says:

or not the attorney general has been
expected not to obey the law of con-
gress passed last April-which / will

PHOENIX SENTIMENT
 SOMEWHAT DIVIDED
MANY SAID TO FAVOR THE
 TEMPE SITE.
The Experience of Tempe Man Yesterday Who Looked Into the Matter.

W. E. Geach was a Phoenix visitor yesterday morning and after the transaction of his affairs, devoted an hours time to Investigating the bridge sentiment among the Phoenix business men with whom he is on intimate terms. He has heard it said that practically every business man in Phoenix favors the Center street site and with a view to finding out just how much of this is the actual truth, he made a close study of the situation and visited five business houses which deal in his line of goods. He found that every one of these five business houses were in favor of constructing the bridge at Tempe, provided that there is to be but one bridge built. Several of them favored two bridges, and for that matter there are any number of people on the south side who would be glad to see two bridges spanning Salt river. These business men who Mir. Geach saw are, however, like the majority of the people here. They appreciate that the tax payers will not stand for the added expense of two bridges and knowing this, they feel that the Tempe site is the logical one for the construction of the bridge as it will here accommodate the greater number of people at the pres ent time and the site too, offers many favorable features that the oth- CT site does not.

BASEBALL SEASON
 SUCCESSFULLY ENDS
THE NORMAL TEAM TOOK ALL
 IN SIGHT.
The Proposed California Trip Did Not MateriaIize.

The plan that was on foot shortly after the return of the Normal base ball team from their suc- cessful trip to Tucson to ar range series of games with different Southern California institu- tions did not turn out as anticipat- ed and this year the trip will not be made It is hoped however, that another year will bring forth better results in this respect.
 The return of the ball team from Tucson marked the continuation of the most successful year in athletics in the history of the normal, the old football days not accepted. Not only in base ball, but in track, tennis and in basket ball, has the normal this year shown its superiority to the other schools of the territory and the only regret expressed in normal circles is that there were not more fields to conquer.
 The offer of a silver cup by "The Arizona Republican" for the winner in the valley school league was a great incentive to better base ball and was won by the normal. It was presented at the school with fitting

THE STRANGE CASE
 OF GEORGE DIFFERS
Officials Are Undecided as to the State of His Mind.

The case of George Deiters, the horse trainer is puZZling the officials. Complaint was informally made on Sunday morning that Deiters was in sane, that he thought everybody was trying to poison him. He had been on the Verde with Charles Rollins head and another man. He left them suddenly and when he returned to Phoenix he announced that they had held him a prisoner and tried to give him poison.
 Other cratic acts of Deiters were described and it was said that he himself had expressed a fear that he was becoming insane. He had told a friend at Tribolet's market so and had given him the address of a sister in Germany who was to be informed if his mind gave way.
 About midnight of Sunday he went to the residence of Justice JOhnstone and wanted a warrant for the arrest of Hollinshead and others on the charge of having kidnapped him. He was watched the next day and was then taken into custody.
 It is thought that his trouble is not deep seated and that if he can be kept quiet for a few days he will re- cover. Therefore no legal action has been taken and it is probable that he will be discharged without an exam inatiOn
