CALHOUN'S ATTORNEY CALLS
 FRANCIS HENEY 'ALY|NG DOC"
Injunction In Graft Scandal Cheeks The Search of Corporation
 Property

The injunction hearing was pro- longed, during which A. A. Moore, at torney for the United Railroads, called District Attorney Heney "a lying dog." and the court continued the ease until tomorrow. Because the agents of the prosecution would not admit the service of an order restraining them from searching the property of the corporation, interest was added when it became known tonight that Judge Lawlor, presiding at the Calhoun trial, issued an order citing an unnamed de- fendant to appear before him tomOr- row to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. The de- fendant is believed to be a saloon keeper who is alleged to have improp- erly addressed one of the jurors who was passed temporarily last week.

TAT I LIN TARIFF TALKS WITH
 SOLONS
DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OBJECT TO EXCLUSION FROM
 DISCUSSION OF
 TARIFF BILL
Bv Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, March 29.-Presi- dent Taft talked on the tariff question to Senator Hale and Representatives Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, Hinsaw of Nebraska, and John Barrett, director of the Bureau of American Republics.
 It is said the president is letting it be understood that he favors reduc- tiOn of tariff on the necessities of life. The president is known to strongly oppose the proposed tax on tea. This tax would yield about sS,OOO,0OO an nually. President Taft believes that the amount could be made up by ex- else tax on dividends of corporations or some method of stamp taxation.
 Objection was made in the senate to the statement of Senator Hale that the Finance committee was holding daily sessions on the tariff bill. Criti- cism came from Senator Bacon, who referred to the fact that Democratic members of the committee were ex- cluded. Senator Hale said that what was being done now by Republican senators was customary; that Demo- crats a number of years ago resorted to the same practice.

CRAZY SNAKES BAND |S

DETACHMENT OF REDSKINS IS CAPTURED BY POSSE
 OF DEPUTY
 SHERIFFS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 OKLAHOMA CITY, March 29.-A detachment of Crazy Snakes band of belligerent Indians was surrounded by deputy sheriffs this afternoon near Snakes home and a battle ensued. One redskin was killed, eight captured, and the rest fled, with deputies in hot pursuit. About fifteen Indians were in the band, which had taken refuge in Snakes house. The officers ad- vanced from four sides, causing the Indians to rush out, and scatter among the trees.
 The posse firing all the while, they steadily advanced, and soon routed the band.
 Crazy Snakes band apparently is broken up into numerous small groups. All efforts of organized resistance sem to have been dropped. Militiamen SCdlttItu iHlO SHldll bduuo anu luNdu- ed the hills and wooded districts of the Creek Nationa and by o'clock tonight had captured eight of Snakes braves, including Little Tiger, a sub chief. It is reported that a posse of farmers near Checotah fought a large band of negro renegades, and killed twenty. The report is unconfrmed.
 A detachment of deputies today captured Sandy Tabler, a half breed who had been one of Snakes aides. Deputy Flynn took Tabler to the Ok mulgee jail, after passing a part of the day with the militia. He said bloodhounds had been placed on Snakes trail, and the chances are fav orable for his capture within twenty four hours.

Dr. L. C.

Daggs and a man named Hunter. Daggs and Hunter were shot and killed at Superior, Pinal county, January l, 1908.
 This will be the fourth trial of Stewart and Fondren for the murders. A peculiar feature of the trials is that the jury in each case disagreed, stand ing six for conviction and six for ac- quittal. The prosecution claims to nave additional evidence to introduce at the coming trial, which it is be- lieved will result in the conviction of at least one of the accused men.

 AUBURN, N. Y, March 29.-Mur- muring prayers, Mrs. Mary Farmer was quietly led to the electric chair at Auburn prison and shortly after 6 o'clock was executed for the murder of Mrs. Sarah Brennan at Browns vile last April. The execution was the second death penalty of woman in New York state. It was without sensational incidents. The five women to whom sne gave the poison were at tendants, as witnesses.
 Father Hickey, her spiritual adviser, gave out a statement signed by Mrs. Farmer declaring her husband inno- cent. and that he knew nothing of the crime.
 Led by Father Hickey, Mrs. Sunni gan and Mrs. German, who attended constantly since her imprisonment, Mrs. Farmer walked unfalteringly to the death chair, with eyes closing, clasp ing a crucifx. She was dead after the first shock, but a tremor of the mus cles caused two succeeding shocks to be given. Eighteen hundred and forty volts and seven and a half amperes constituted the current.
 All night long the woman prayed. after she bade farewell to her husband. She was dressed in plain black waist and skirt.

 ACCEPT Goes to Washington To Consult with The
 President
APPOINTMENT WOULD UNITE
 ALL ELEMENTS OF PARTY
IN THE EVENT OF SLoAN'S AC- CEPTANCE, E. S. CLARK IS SLATED FOR THE
 BENCH

That Judge Richard E. Sloan can be the next Governor of Arizona if he will accept the position, was the grati, flying news that reached here yester- day.
 Whether ne will accept the high
 honor which has been rendered him de- bends upon the conference which he
 will have in few days with President Taft at Washington, to which city he was summoned yesterday and for wnieh he left on the afternoon train.
 As he was leaving, he said to a Journal Miner representative: CT have been summoned to Washington for consultation in regard to the ap- pointment of a Governor for Arizona. am not seeking the appointment and am not a candidate for the office. AL though I have known for the past few dayssthat my name was being eOnsid- cred at Washington, yet it was not through any solicitation or suggestion on my part. '
 A dispatch to the Journal-Miner from Phoenix states that Governor Kibbey had received a wire to the ef- feet that President Taft would surely apoint Judge Sloan if he would accept it. The message that he received yes terday to come to the nations capital is for the purpose of prevailing upon him to do so.
 For Judge Sloan to leave the bench and step into the chair of the eaief executive would mean a great sacrifice to him financially, as the salary is about one-half of what he is now re- ceiving, not to speak of the disadvan- tage of being obliged to live in Phoe- nix. Close friends of Judge Sloan yes terday urged him to accept the ap- pointment, pointing out that in doing SO, the administration would undoubt- edly recognize and appreciate the sac rifce, and would probably place aim 1n the FederA bench when Arizona becomes a state, a position that carries 2 large salary and is of life tenure. It IS therefore believed that the object of President Taft calling him to Wash ngton was to discuss the matter and give him some assurance as to the fu- ture
 It has been known for the past week that the administration at Washing ion was dissatisfied with political con litions in Arizona because of the four ,ornered fight between Sturges, Kib- oey, Young and Adams, and the Presi- lent and his advisers have been fo- using their political telescope on the erritory to find a man who would mite all clements of the Republican party. Judge Sloan was selected as hat man. When the Republicans held heir double-header convention at Tue lon last spring, both wings of the par V unanimously elected Judge Sloan as me of the two delegates to the Chiea- 70 convention. This fact, coupled with his unquestioned fitness for the responsible duties of the office, are be- ieved to be the principal reasons why Taft is anxious to place him n the gubernatorial chair.
