Flagstaff, Ariz., Sept. 21.-Special.)
-Ihe grand jury this afternoon re-
turned two indictments against Reu-
ben L. McNeill and Herbert E. Woods.
one charging them with murder and
the other with assault with a deadly
weapon. 1t is expected that the case
will come up at this term of court and
be the most sensational ever tried in
northern Arizona.
ON May last the body of E p
Schwartz, who had been missing sew
eraf months, was found buried near

man.
Following the discovery of Schwartz
body Neill and Woods disappeared and
the country was secured by officers
in vain effort to capture them.
on May Neill and Woods created
a local sensation by riding into Flag
staff and voluntarily surrendering to
Sheriff Francis. The sheriff had
them appear before Justice Harring-
ton for preliminary hearing and both
were dismissed.
Last week the sheriff or the district
attorney received additional light on
the case and Neiil and Woods were re-
arrested and jailed Wild newspaper
reports were published throughout the
territory stating that Neill had al
ready been indicted and was taken
TO Prescott TO thwart a plan by cow
boys to rescue him from Jail; that he
was brought back here for trial under
a heavy guard; that Woods had con-
fessed and would turn states evil
dence on Neill. These reports were
absolutely groundless and were read
with much resentment by the people
of Conconino county. who do not want
to see Flagstaff. the scene of any
yellow journalistic plots. 1t is true
Neill was taken to Prescott, but for
the purpose of preventing his having
any communication with his confed-

at Flagstaff.
Ex-Lieutenant William A. Olds of
the Arizona Rangers is here from New
Mexico to testify against Neill and

The making up of the speaking pro-
gram for the evening has been attend
ed by difficulties and slight heart
burning. The speakers have been
limited to five minutes each, it hav-
ing been pointed out that some restric-

cannot begin before 10 o'clock, and it
is thought that Mr. Bryan may have
known to offer remarks more or less
extended on such occasions.
Those who have been given places
on the speakers list are Eugene
Brady O'Neill, George Purdy Bullard,
Henry F. Ashurst and Hon. NJ A.
Smith. Hon. w. ID. Bell was offered

INVASION OF ARIZONA
BY COL. ". ]. BRYAN
He Talks Politics at Bisbee and
Douglas.

Bisbee, Sept. 21.-William ]. Bryan
entered Arizona today at Douglas on
the border. arriving at IL this morn
ing. When he stepped from the train
an Associated Press representative
showed him a telegram announcing
Governor Johnson's death. He ex-
pressed profound sorrow and gave him
a glowing encomium.
Every city in Arizona will tender
Bryan an ovation under the auspices
of local democratic clubs He delivered
his lecture The Price of Soul" at
Douglas this afternoon, and took an
automobile ride of twenty-eight miles
and delivered the lecture "The Prince
of Peace" at Bisbee this evening. This
was followed by a dinner at the Cop
perqueen hotel.
Bryan said to the Associated Press:
THE republican party in its last plat
form promised statehood for Arizona
Immediately. 1t has permitted a ses-
sion and a special session to pass
without fulfilling that platform
pledge"
DO you think there is any likeli-
hood of Arizona receiving justice at
the coming session of congress %
In reply to this question Mr.. Bryan
said: For the past twenty-four
years | have been heartily in favor
of the admission of Arizona to state
hood and | am more heartily in favor
now than at any time in the past.
Justice and recognition has too long
been wrongfully denied the territory.
/ know that among the eastern lead
ers there is opposition, but / am not
in the confidence of the republican
leaders. as you may well imagine and
l consequently am unable to say what
they will do. 1 can only express my
hope that tardy justice will now come
to Arizona and that you may be ad-
mitted to the sisterhood of states at
once
On the tariff, Mr.. Bryan was asked
to express his views of the Payne
Aldrich bill
Said he. The people condemn the
Payne Aldrich tariff act l find this
almost universal Some
republicans defend it in part, but
have met but one republican who de-
fends this Payne -Aldrich tariff bill in
toto. II is an iniquitous measure and
will so be found
Arizona republican., 1909-09-22

could be made to that income tax law
which had been held unconstitutional
by the supreme court by a vote Of 5
to 4. 1t was conceded that the tax
would probably raise s150,OOO 900 to
S2OO.0OO,OOO. which was far in excess
of the needs of government if the
tariff bill was to retain its general
form as proposed. Our friends the
democrats favored substituting an in
come tax for the tariff as an income
producing measure.
In other words, the passage of the
income tax bill would have lent sup
port probably to the proposition to
have tariff for revenue only, and
would have interferred with the pro-
tective policy to which the republican
party is pledged.
'One further amendment to the in
come tax amendment was that X had
been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court, and to invoke a second
decision upon that issue was to ques-
tion the uniformity of the decisions of
the supreme court and to drag the
court into a political discussion which
would not make for its standing as an
impartial tribunal before the people.
1T would have indicated a diversity
of view between congress and the
coordinate branches of
the government with reference to the
of the law But the
income tax amendment seemed quite
likely to pass by vote of all the demo-
Gratis and a sufficient number of re-
publicans. Therefore, those opposed to
the income tax amendment looked
about for a compromise less objection
able than the income tax amendment
to satisfy enough republicans who
were inclined to favor an income tax
and prevent the passage of that
amendment. Such compromise was
found in the present corporation tax
and also the joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition authorizing the general govern
ment TO impose an income tax without
apportioning it as direct tax accord
ing TO the population of the states.'

IMPORTANT QUESTION
Grape Growers Not to Be Excluded
From Order.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. 21.-The SOW
ereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows
today decided two questions that have
been under discussion for years. The
delegates refused to, reduce the age
limit of membership from 81 to is
years, and also voted not to make
restrictions against members con-
nected with the liquor traffic strong
er. 1t is said that the liquor amend
ment, voted down today, would have
excluded even grape growers if lit
orally enforced
The question of giving sanction to
the Mmscovitz, an amusement branch
of the order, on the lines of the
Mystic Shriners in Masonry, is to
come before the sovereign lodge. The
ladies militant, composed of the wives
and other relatives of the patriarchs

The Return 10 the capitaI

st. Paul, MINI, Sept 2l.-One OF
the most remarkable tributes ever
paid to the memory of a public man
IN Minnesota was accorded to the
late Governor Johnson today From
the hour that the governors death
was first publicly announced by the
telling of school bell at Rochester
all public activities were abandoned
, Governor Johnson's body was es-
corted to the special train that bore
it to st. Paul by a throng of citizens
from every walk of life.
On the train were Mrs. Johnson, a
few Of her personal friends, state Of
ficers and friends of the late gov
ernor. AS the cortege passed down
the street leading to the station an
escort was lined upon either side
with barred heads, and the hundreds
of people around the depot showed
like respect.
Mayor Thompson of Rochester had
proclaimed a day of public mourning
The mayor and councilmep acted as
pallbearers. Tomorrow afternoon Rev.
F. j. Lawess. chaplain of the gov
ernor's staff. will conduct services
in the capitol Thursday the body
will be taken to St. Peter, where
final services will be held in the
Presbyterian church, of which the
dead governor was a member
Governor Johnson was only AS
years of age. He was born at St
Peter, Mimi, in 1861, of parents both
of whom had come from Sweden His
limited education was obtained before
he was IL years Of age in the public
schools of St Peter, though he so
built upon that slender foundation in
years afterward that the University of
Pennsylvania conferred the degreed of
LII. d. upon him.
The care of his family devolved
upon him before he bad quite reached
his twelfth year and he found en-
pioyment in a drug store. When still
a young man he embarked in the
newspaper business. obtaining an in
terest in the ST Peter Herald His
editorial work attracted the attention
of the state, and thus he was
launched into a public life. He. was
first elected state senator from St
Peter and was first elected governor
in 1904
His victory in an overwhelmingly
republican state, repeated two years
later, made him a national figure,
and he was seized upon by a large
wing of his party as the future ma
tional leader Of the party. a position
he would doubtless have attained but
for the Intervention of death.

large timber of Adams county has
almost entirely disappeared as a re-
suit of the prevailing high price of
lumber during the past ten years, but
a purchase recentlyimade blythe Union

proves this fact. The timber was cut
from the Hiram Grooms farm by a

liyered by wagon, the propelling
force having been from two to three
yoke of oxen to each wagon. The
