STILL BELIEVES IN
 THE FOOL KILLER''
D. w. JONES REPLIES TO TEMPE
 COUNCIL.
Says People Will Compel Payment
 Working Here.

D. w. Jones. who is at present en- main street of Mesa. from Center to Robson, with his road grader. which he has named the "Foolkiller," was somewhat discomfited yesterday morn ing when he read the account of the doings of the Tempe council in yester- days Republican in regard to the all lowing of his claim for grading and leveling Mill avenue.
 Mir. Jones states that Mill avenue is in perfect condition with the exception of one place. where the city marshal did not keep the teams off the street while he was at work. However. he says that he will not sue the city for the amount due him. neither will he start any trouble with the town down the river, but he is of the opinion that he will in some way be recompensed for his work in Tempe. He believes that the residents of the town will assert their rights and demand that the council pay him the full amount of his claims.
 In all probability the same trouble existed in Tempe that is liable to re- suit her in Mesa, and that is that a definite understanding has not been had before the work has been done. The whole proposition seems to be more or less guess work. As a matter of fact, If the streets were paved with vitrified brick. with cement base and sand and asphalt filler. even though it be at the cost of sprinkling one time with water. there would be considera- ble kicking from four or five men out of every ten who were asked to pass judgment That is one of the things to be expected. However, whether Mir Jones' machine does the work satis- factorily to a reasonable amount of the taxpayers. or whether it does not give satisfaction at all. it should be definitely and specifically understood just what the city is to be out on the proposition.
 MT Jones is still a firm believer in the "Foolkiller.' and has already done two days work. with two more to do. before he has completed the block above described. There is considera- ble speculation as to the success of the "FoolkiIler,' the opinions being at variance. The streets after two days work do not show any marked inn provement, but within the two remain ing days the machine may develop ef- ficiency. It is impossible to pass upon the work until it is completed.
 In regard to the Tempe councils at- titude Mir. Jones submitted the fol- lowing:
 Editor Republican-Old man Jones and his fool killer are not discouraged: there are exceptions to all rules. Some fools may be too big for us. but not many. Signed, D. W. JONES.

OBJECT
 TO AUTOMOBILES
CLAIM THAT SOME MOTORISTS
 ARE NEGLIGENT.
Accident Is Narrowly Averted-Road
 Is Primarily for Tesmsters.

There is getting to be an utter dis regard, on the part of certain motor ists. for the long freight teams plying between here and Roosevelt, as was evidenced by the ruffled ternpers of four teamsters who came in yesterday They state that last Sunday. while en route to Roosevelt, heavily loaded. that they met an auto party, presumably rom Phoenix. which for a short time came near causing a serious accident They met the machine on a sharp curve and. without warning. the car was driven close to the inside next the high wall. crowding the frightened animals to the bank of the precipice. Without even an apology. the freight CTS say the car was driven on it's way
 For some time. according to the stories told by the teamsters. there has been disposition on the part of the motorists. or at least of a few mo- torists. for most of them are consider ate or the danger of a serious accident. to disregard all rules as to loaded wagons and spin around the curve at speed which would hardly be all lowed on the streets of city pre-
 T does not take much of an imagination to understand how a four or five-mule or horse team when excited could soon become unmanageable and be entirely from under the control of a single driver. That more accidents have not happened on the Roosevelt road is sometimes considered miraculous. as 1t really is The danger from unavoid- able causes is hazardous enough. with out adding thereto by acts of negli- gence.
 Automobiles have been ordered off the road in the past, but this is work ing hardship on the motorists who can enjoy good road through the mountains. but unless there Is some provision made for the protection of the freighters it will not be a great while until the former order will be asked for.

IMPROVING HOMESTEAD.

David Reed. who has just completed the boring of well on his homestead east of the city, under the new east ern canal. has taken up his residence on the homestead and will soon com mence the installation of a pumping plant. It might be added that Mir. Reed has been contested, but he seems to be of the opinion that he will win the case and is going ahead with i'm provements regardless
 Mir. Reed has one of the largest or ange groves on this side of the river and it is with that end in view that he has taken up the government land to the east of the city. He is of the opinion. that it is the orange land of the valley principally on account of the character of the soil. As to canal water. Mir. Reed will not have a great deal of that, as a very few acres will come under the ditch. However, he is undaunted by this and will depend almost entirely upon pumped water. He has a splendid flow of soft water. reached at a depth of about eighty feet. The water when pumped out of the well is very warm, which is one of the principal characteristics that makes a valuable aid in successful or ange culture. The water when pumped directly from the well to the soil will without a doubt raise the temperature on the surface several degrees and pre- clude the possibility of frost at any time during the winter season.

ROAD CAMPAIGN
 STILL CONTINUES
Two More Victims Fined for Flooding the Highway.

The anti road flooding campaign in stituted some time ago by Road Overseer w. T. Cumming at the in- stance of the board of supervisors, who promised to back him in the movement, still continues. MT. Cum mings' little trip. to the country Fri day afternoon, mentioned in yester- days issue was productive of results, for immediately following his return, warrants were sworn out against C. P. Mullen and Grant Jones, two of the best known men on the south side of the river Both were charged with having flooded the public highway and neither denied the charge. They pleaded guilty as charged and settled the matter to the satisfaction of Judge Carr.
 Road Overseer Cummings is fre- quently criticized for the manner in which he has or, in some cases, has not, graded roads: sometimes these criticisms are warranted and some times not, but be that as it may be. this is certain; Mir. Cummings has made a good fight to persuade the farmers to keep the water on their land instead of allowing it to run in the road. If a road is flat and is wet by a farmer and the farmer is subsequently arrested for flooding it., that's a matter for the farmer to settle with Mir. Cummings or the board of supervisors; the public is deserving of some protection and consideration in the matter If road flooding cant be stopped one way, it l. . g.. 1T admitted that the one thing that de- tracts more from the favorable inn pression that should be made on the visitor, is the deplorable condition of the public roads.

PRINCESS ALICE
is NOW AFLOAT
With assistance Of Ten Powerful Tugs
Big German Liner Floundercd
off the Beach.

STATEN ISLAND, N. Y, Bay 2s.--
With ten OF the most powerful tugs
and steamers pulling as hard as their
engines could be worked, and with her
own battery of engines sending her
powerful propellers at full speed
astern, the North German Lloyd Lin
er Princess Alice floundered off the
rocky beach near Fort Wadsworth
this morning into deep water. The big
liner was uninjured. Divers who
were sent down to examine the hull
reported the liners plates were not
even scratched, but It was necessary
to tighten 400 tons OF cargo from the
forward compartment. The liner had
a narrow escape from accident while
coming off the shoal. In order to aid
the fleet of tugs in addition to remov-
ing the cargo, the forward ballist
tanks were emptied and the stern
tanks filled. lifting the bows out five
feet, and sinking the stern to the
thirty-fve foot mark. This had the
effect of making the liner respond
very slowly to her rudder, with the re.
suit that the momentum carried her
foul of the Dutch Steamer Marken. No
damage was done other than breaking
the fender of the Marden. The Prin-
zess Alice viii leave as soon as the
cargo is replaced.

Robert Baker Charged With Allenat-
Ing Affection.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia. May 2S.--
Charging alienation of ais wife's af-
fections, for which he asks balm
in the sum of $4,000, James Grant, a
retired farmer OF this city and we'll
TODD, has brought suit in the district
court of Appanoose county against
Robert Baker. prominent business
man OF Centerville. and former auditor
of Appanoose county. The usual stat
utory charges are made in the petit
ton.
Mrs. Grant, who is thirty-five years
old, was formerly Miss Fannie Daily,
Centerville dressmaker. Her hus-
band, who came here from Nebraska
five years ago, is sixty years old and
has grown sons and daughters. Mrs.
Grant recently brought suit for di.
vorce here against her husband and
the case was decided yesterday when
Judge Parker denied the petition.
1t is more than likely that the case
which gives promise of being extreme.
ly sensational, will not be tried at tae
present term of court, owing to the
Junkin murder trial. which is now in
progress at Centeryille.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Briefs of
both sides of the Ballinger- Wilson cen
troversy in the Presidents cabinet,
over the withdrawal of certain lands
as ranger sites, both inside and out
side of the National forests in the
West. were presented to the President
by both secretaries at today's cabinet
meeting. The documents were filed
with the President and turned over to
Attorney General Wickersham for an
opinion. 1t is understood the Presi-
dent himself will render the decision
on that part of the controversy that
touches matters of the etiquette be-
tween the cabinet officers and the gen.
eral policy of the administration as to
the conservation of natural resources.
The question as it originally arose was
a purely legal one, turning on legal
authority for the withdrawal of ranger
cities. inside any national forests. or
outside them, in those northwestern
states where the statutes forbid add.
tons to the national forests.
