BANK OFFICER
SENT TO PRISON
His Alleged Shortage in AC-
counts May Reach
100000
By United Press Leased Special wire


NEW HAVEN, June e.-Estimates II
the alleged shortage Of bookkeeper
Frederick II. Brigham Of the Merchants
National Bank, who was arrested Mon
day night following the discovery of
discrepancy in his accounts, grew by
leaps and bounds today when it be-
came known that the United States
marshal who has been here on the case
seized the safety deposits books which
Brigham maintained in the New Haven
Trust Company In it were found Sc
curities said TO be valued at $4,000,
all purchased since the first Of Febru-
airy. Among these securities are shares
of the Rawhide Coalition Mines Co.
American Gold Placer Co. Cumberland
Ely Mining Co. Glroux Consolidated
Mines, Uncle Sam Consolidated Mines
and securities of a half dozen Other
mining enterprises.
Aside from these issues OF these Sc
curities. the bank officials yesterday
attached the Brigham residence. valued
at $1,000. and seized the keys held by
Mrs. Brigham. So far it is not known
whether any Of the money alleged TO
have been taken by Brigham was found
in the house.
AS the arrest warrant sworn against
/ Brigham alleged a shortage Of but
/ $4,000. the subsequent course Of the
bank officials indicates that further
discrepancies are constantly being re-
vealed. This belief was further sub
stantiated today when civil suit was
begun by the bank against Brigham for
damages in the sum of 100000. IN the
suit a shortage of 100000 is alleged
as the grounds of action. When the
marshal broke open the safety vault
$1,000 in cash was found with the Sc
curities. This was also taken charge Of
by Marshal Parmalee.
Brigham is still in jail in default Of
$4,000 bond. lie absolutely refused t.

MODERN RECORD OF
 "OR|G|N 0F MANI
From What Starts Will the Future Population of the Salt River Valley Come.

The POstoffice News store has been telling the people of Phoenix and the valley through it's advertisements in The Republican of its intention to start and maintain at its store op- posite the pOstoffice a States Regis ter" in which all who are interested, and more especially all new corners, are invited to register their names and the towns and states from which they hail together with their local address
 The idea is that most of the people who come here from other states find in Arizona a peculiar reversal of con- dtions, surroundings, atmosphere, GUS toms and ways of doing things that makes them feel strange and any thing but at home at first.
 Such being the case it is believed that by keeping up a register of this kind so that people from any state can readily find other people from the same state that much of the feeling of strangeness can be avoided and newcomers made to feel welcome and at home among friends.
 A large hotel register of 800 pages has been provided and is now ready for people to come in and register. It was necessary to block out the regis ter that is to apportion the pages among the different states and this is where the problem comes in, of which states will furnish the people and how many will each state furnish?
 The 800 pages 23 names to a page will enroll 11,500 people. The list be- low shows how many pages the Post office News store has allotted to each state and the Postoffice News store is open to suggestion from Republican readers and will welcome them. as to where its estimated list is wrong in any instance and why.
 The figures after the name of the state indicate the number of pages attributed to that state and 456 pages have been allotted in all to the states.
 The balance of the space has been reserved for newcomers from other countries as it is believed Phoenix will become more and more cosmopolitan in it's population as time goes by. The other countries are: England, Ireland. Scotland, France, Germany. Switzer- land. Holland, Italy, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Mani toba. British Columbia and such oth- CTS as occasion requires.
 The list follows: Alabama. 4; Arizona. f; Arkansas. 4; California, 12; Colorado. &; Connecticut, 2; Delaware, ?: Florida, 2: Georgia. &; Idaho. 8; Illinois, 20: Indiana, 20; Iowa, 20; Kan sas. 20; Kentucky. s; Louisiana. ?; Maine. 4; Maryland. ?; Massachusetts, 8; Michigan. 20; Minnesota, 8; Missis- sippi, &: Missouri, 20: Montana, s; Nebraska, 20; Nevada, &; New Hamp- shire, A.

LIFE SAVING WATER
 FLOWS OVER THE DAM
Two Hundred Second Feet Yesterday Morning and Lots More Coming.

It will be glorious news to the farm CTS to know that yesterday morning the water was running over the Roose- welt dam eighteen inches deep and for ey feet wide, or 200 second feet, or, to be more plain. 5000 inches. None of this new" water got down to the Ari- zona head yesterday, or at least, very little, though the water did raise eight inches behind the Granite Reef dam during the day. By today there should be a pretty good flow and it Is ex- pected the report from Roosevelt today will be decidedly encouraging.
 Engineer Reed expects to begin real irrigating on Wednesday morning. or before if he can, but he does not want to promise too much too quickly The water has been in the Arizona and Salt canals for several days. what little there was, and they are entitle 10 the run. They will be filled as quickly as possible and the surplus will then be turned into the ApprOpriators and the Maricopa. Before the week is out it is believed the canals will all have a good long drink and the farmers will resume that smile that except for the past week they have been wearing for six months.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE
 WILL BE MOVED
COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY MAY OR TO SELECT A NEW
 SITE FOR IT.
Big Delegation From the Third Ward Storms the Council Chamber and Gives Testimony of the Nuisance.

A large delegation of emphatic Third Warders again invaded the precincts of the city council at their regular meeting last night to present their tes- timony why the Hurley Tribolet slaughter house should be removed to other quarters. After a great deal of testimony was heard and many wit nesses examined the council decided that a case had been made and a reso- lution was adopted providing for the appointment of three members of the council to select some place for the slaughter house which would be the least offensive to the smallest number of people. Mayor Christy appointed Councilmen Cisney. Hackett and Stauf- fer as the committee.
 The most telling testimony was fur nished by Dr. Richard E. Kunze. pro- prietor of the cactus ranch on Seventh avenue. From 5:3O in the evening till S:3O o'clock the stench is abominable." said the doctor Women with their children and invalids are forced to go indoors and close up the house during those hours. Then it breeds malaria and typhoid. We have had number of cases of the latter in the district in which the slaughter house is situated and I think thev are directly traceable to that cause"
 When MT. Kunze was asked by City Attorney Prescott for a solution of the problem he said: Either have them build and incineratory with a chimney high enough to carry the effluvia above the heads of the neighborhood or move the slaughter house three miles further west"
 "Oh. don't have it moved that way" said the attorney: "I have ranch down there" This announcement echoed the general sentiment-thatn mo- body wants the slaughter house near their property:
 Dr. Kunze concluded his testimony by saying that we will never get state hood without a clean bill of health and that we could not get that with an unsanitary slaughter house.
 P. T. Hurley was called to the stand and questioned by Judge Ainsworth, who represented the butchers inter- ests. He said that he lived at First avenue and Grant street and that he did not notice the smell The slaugh- ter house could not well be removed too far out on account of the warm climate and the difficulty of carrying the meats that far without spelling. He added that he wants to do the right thing and did not wish the place to be a nuisance. Many other resi- dents of the Third ward told what they knew about conditions down there, and many more who wanted to go on the stand were not asked to as the council thought there was sufficient evidence to warrant taking action in the matter.
 Councilman Cisney moved that thhe committee be appointed and that it re- port to the council next Monday night. It will be the duty of this committee to select the most fitting place for slaughter house that can be found.
