Riggs, chairman of the board of control, came over to Florence on a business trip to look over the work of the territorial prison which was found to be in first class condition. Both the governors were warmly greeted by Florence citizens, as both the gentlemen resided here several years ago and they say they feel as if they are coming home when they come to Florence. Flor ence feels that she has done herself proud, for she has turned out two governors for the territory of Arizona.
 Florence has seen her worst days, and she will before many more years rise up out of the ashes and become great city. Her wealth of minerals. The beautiful valley of the Gila, and some day these waters will be harnessed and utilized, as are the Salt and the Colorado, and thou-

SHERIFF OF COCON|NO ON MURDERERS' TRAIL THEY MIGHT HAVE STAYED AT
 HOME IN SAFETY. Woods and NeiIl Could Not Have Been Connected With Schwartz's
 Death.

Sheriff J. W. Francis of Coconino county arrived in the city yesterday morning in search of Herbert Woods, a former Arizona ranger and Reuben Neill, late in the forestry service. charged with the murder of Edward Schwartz near Williams last Septem- Der
 Sheriff Francis had learned that the two men had been seen at the St Johns Crossing below the city on Monday morning and that it was sup posed that they were heading directly for the Mexican line and that they would reach the line on Wednesday night It was learned yesterday how ever that they had taken an east bound train at small station east of Mar icopa and Sheriff Francis left on the forenoon train for Tucson in search of information that he might obtain there.
 A telephone message was received at the office of the sheriff here in the aftrnoon from former Captain Wheeler of the Arizona rangers. making inquiry concerning news of the fugitives. In reply to an inquiry. Captain Wheeler said that Sheriff Francis had not ar rived there although the train had

could not be issued for Neill and Woods on such evidence as had so far been produced and he suggested that action be deferred until the next day.
 On the day that Sheriff Francis found the body as he was getting ready to leave Williams, Woods who was in town learned from a deputy. of the intended search. He offered to go along but his offer was declined. The next day both Woods and Neill had disappeared, thus confessing their guilt
 On the evening of their disappear ance Neill appeared greatly agitated. He went to bed and rose again saying that he was in great trouble. He went down town, met some friends, drank little with them and spoke in definitely of his trouble. That was the last seen of him.
 Sheriff Francis said that last fall Neill called upon him and told him that he was in great trouble and want ed to get out of the country. He did not state the nature of his trouble but the sheriff was led to believe that a woman was at the bottom of it. Neill had some cattle. He wanted to give the sheriff a bill of sale for them. MT. Francis declined to have anything to do with the matter unless the sale should be an out and out one. Neill said that that was what he meant with one condition; he proposed that the sheriff should pay him as much for the cattle as he could and give him a note for the balance. Neill said that if things turned out all right later he

 Florence is also in the orange belt, as very little frost is ever seen here. Our only drawback for years has been that our water runs past us and into the Colorado while We stand helplessly looking on.
 And then our governors" will be glad to say, T always knew that old Pinal county was full of wealth, but it was destined to wait Now our opportunity is approaching, and when the prison is completed, we will have the city lighted by the power from the prison dynamo. We will have ice manufactured here. We hope to have a sewer and we know we are soon to have a bridge and one canal has been taken over by capitalists and the report is that they are soon going to begin opera tions whereby We will have all the water we need for our titled land. Florence will look altogether chang ed in the next five years.

Captain Wheeler said that though Woods had been in the ranger service under him he had never met him as Woods had been stationed in the north.
 Speaking of the murder of Schwartz, Sheriff Francis said yesterday that if the two men had stayed at home they could never have been convicted of the crime. especially on any evidence that has so far developed. It had been stated by a man who was regarded as entirely irresponsible that Neill and Woods had killed Schwartz and buried his body on a hill in the vicinity of Williams No attention was paid at first to this statement for there was no suspicion at that time that Schwartz had been murdered. He had, it is true. suddenly disappeared. but his disappearance had been accounted for. Finally the statement set aflOat got into the air and the sheriff having nothing else to do. one day went out to this hill and found the body of Schwartz. The man who had started the report could not be found and that night Sheriff Francis went to see Dis trict Attorney Doe at Flagstaff and laid the matter before him.

 The sheriff took the proposition un- der advisement and saw no more of Neill for some time. When he next met him Neill told the sheriff that it was all right now, his trouble had blown over and he would not sell the cattle.
 The suppositiOn therefore is that Neill believed that so long a time hay ing elapsed since the death of Schwartz he was safe and that his trouble ending in the flight of himself and Woods recurred when it was learned that the sheriff was about to make an investigation of the rumors regarding the death of Schwartz.

LAUNCH HOT Campaign
Question Is on Odoption of Amend
nent to Constitution Designed to
Disfranchise Negroes.
(By Associated Press.)

BALTIMORE. MD, Sept. 1.-THE
campaign on the question of adopting
an amendemnt to the state constitu-
ton which is designed TO disfranchise
a large number of negro voters was
formally opened tonight at a Demo-
cratic mass meeting al the Lyric
Theater.
Interest has been aroused because
of the denunciation OF the proposed
amendment by President Taft. who
has characterized itas violation OF the
spirit of the Fifteenth amendment and
because OF the declaration by Repub-
lican leaders in the state that the
Supreme Court of the United will be
asked. to pass upon its validity should
IL be adopted at the election next No
vember. The Supreme Court has new
er passed upon the so-calied grand
father clause" which IS embodied in
the amendment. and which has had
the effect of DISTINGUISHING negroes In
several OF the Southern states.
Addresses in favor OF the adoption
cf the amendment were delivered by
Governor Caruthers and United states
Senator Isidor Rainier.

not care 10 exhibit these records at
the present time. for the reason that
the information If divulged in advance

the Cook partisans.
IL is rumored here that Commander
Peary's brief will contain sensational
statements and that a portion OF his
document was prepared as long ago
as the early months of 1908. when
letters were received from Dr.. Cook
in Greenland. giving notice that he
intended to make a dash for the pole.
As to Whitney's Movement.
Commander Peary dwelt particular
ly on the observations taken at the
apex OF the world, and the movements
of Harry Whitney, the sportsman OF
New Haven. Conn, who has been de-
scIibed as the bearer Of records sub
Stimulating DR.. Frederick A. Cook s
claim to have reached the pole April
81, 1908.
Asked how Harry Whitney happen
ed to remain in the north. Commander
Peary said Whitney was one of a
party of sportsmen who went as pas
sengers On board the steamer Erik.
At Faith. where it was determined
to land party and supplies for the
relief of DIR, Cook. particularly in view
OF the fact that Rudolph Francke was
being invaded home. Whitney asked
II he might remain TO hunt walrus
and polar bear in the spring and
make a trip to Elsmereland with Is
kimeau after musk OK. This was de-
cided on. in order TO protect against
the contingency OF the Roosevelt not
coming down from the north in the
summer of 1909 in which even they
would be obliged to remain in the
Arctic for two years. Mr.. Whitney
made arrangements for a ship to
come up for him this summer.
Asked if Dr. Cook was aware that
Whitney expected ship and what his
reasons could have been for not going
TO the United States on that vessel.
if he wanted to go back, Commander
Peary said he did not know.
