COUNTIES WILL RETAIN THIS RANGER
MariCOpa and 6iIa VII Con- tinue James Holmes on
 Pay Roll

PHOENIX. March 4.-Though his position has been wiped out of exist ence by the territorial legislature, Ranger James Holmes, who has been stationed at Roosevelt, will still be a peace officer at that place, with jur- isdiction in Maricopa and Gila coun- ties. His former salary will be paid him by the government and J. M. OTROurke. the contractor who is build ing the big dam
 Holmes Is looked upon as a yalu- able man by the authorities Of Gila and Maricopa, by the government of ficials in charge at Roosevelt and by the contractor. He mas been the means of keeping scores of laWless characters out of that section of the country and of preventing much whis- ky being sold to the Indians When the law aboilshing the rangers was passed, arrangements were made to retain Mir Holmes as formerly, ex- cept that his salary will be paid by other parties. He has been made a deputy sherif of both Gila and Mari copa counties.
 This news is brought by Under Sherin c. B. Woods, who has just re- turned from a visit to Fish Greek and Roosevelt. He went to Fish Creek to sell the station there at sheriff's sale, and continued to Roosevelt to see how work on the big dam is progressing.
 Wood says that Holmes, usefulness cOusits mainly in preventing liquor being sold to the Indians, but he is q valuable man fin many other ways. One of his duties is to see that the medicine man of the Indians about Roosevelt is kept out of the district In the past he has kept the Indians poor. He holds his position for puC poses of revenue only. His sysls, is to drst see how sick n ILGIan is. If hs i5 ssry sick. hOtning less than q horse will persuade the medicine man to charm the spirits away. Some times he demands a squaw and before Holmes drove him away to Globe hc had new wife once or twice every month. Every little he sneslzs hack and begins work again. until Holmes pins the skiddoo number on him

Boston, Dec. 28.-The discovery to-
dav of the wreck of the five-masted
schooner, Davis Palmer, which sank
with twelve men Sunday morning, at
the entrance of Broad Sound, was
followed by the report of another
wreck. This second victim Of the
great storm of Saturday night and
Sunday, was reported by Captain
Kemp, of the tug Ariel, who asserts
that he saw three masts of schooner
projecting above the, water near the
shoals known as sThe Graves"
Probably the last person to see the
Palmer before she sank was Captain
Sookamp of the barge Hopatcong,
which docked at Lynn today from Ho-
boken. He reported passing the Pal
mer of Cape Cod late Christmas af-
ternoon. At that time, the Palmer's
sailors were on deck singing and cele-
brating the holiday in true sea fash
ion, all unknowing of the fate that
awaited them within a few hours at
the entrance to their home port.

The FIRST SPECIAL MESSAGE
WILL SUBMIT CONTEMPLATION
REGARDING ISSUANCE OF
FEDERAL LICENSES
Was Expected at First That Special
Message Would Deal With Only One
Subject - Federal Licenses to Corr
porations Will be Voluntary and
Not Mandatory.
(Bv Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 28.-President
Taft discussed with members Of his
cabinet today the final details Of the
special message he will send to con-
gress next week dealing with propos-
ed amendments to the interstate COM
merce and Sherman antitrust laws.
Mr.. Taft began work on the impor-
tant document today
AT one time it was thought that the
president might, in this, the first OF
his series Of special messages to con-
gress, deal only with the interstate
commerce act, leaving his proposed
discussion OF the antitrust law to
some future date. He has decided,
however, that as the two subjects are
so closely related, he will adhere to
his original intention of making in
one communication to the senate and
the house his recommendations Tor
changes in the two acts.
In this message he will also submit
his recommendations for the issue OF
federal licenses to corporations. The
proposed license will be voluntary
one, to be taken advantage Of by such
corporations as desire to place them
selves under federal jurisdiction, or
left alone as the directors Of the cor
porations see fit. ss&ss:,, b.. w. i .3a. ,SsaS

MONEY ORDERS.

The amount of money orders pur-
chased by the people of community

well as their deposits in the bank.
The report of the auditor OF the
postoffice department lis usually pret-
ty dry reading, but the present 'docu-
,ment contains some facts Of interest
to the readers Of the Tribune.
The domesic orders issued in North
Dakota for the year ending June 30,
1909, reached $5,444,639.04, an in
grease in ten years cf $3,817, 1858,
or 235 per cent. Only five jurisdic-
tions show a greater increase-Ne-
vada, West Virginia, Wyoming, Alas

1t is interesting to compare this in
crease of 235 per cent in North Dako-
ia with the progress made yother
Northwestern states, which are re-
ported as follows: Minnesota, 1922;
Wisconsin, 112; South Dakota, 1G1 !;
Montana, 100; Nebraska, IS and Kan
sas, 6S. The lowest increase was in
the District of Columbia, 60 per cent

it became known today that Mrs.
Frank J. Gould, Lieutenant Governor
and Mrs. Horace White of Syracuse
and other friends of Mrs. Brokaw had
offered to appear as witnesses in her
behalf, but counsel for Mrs. Brokaw
said that he considered his clients
case sufficiently strong and declined
the offer. These friends were nearly
all members of a house party to
which Brokaw had strongly objected,
and it is said they are willing to tes-
tify in order to give their version OF
the affair. y
Toward the conclusion of the after
noon session, Brokaw gave his defin-
ition of drinking man. He has tes-
titled before that he does not drink:
Can you recall any time when you
were in what has been called the

New York, Dec. 2S.-W. Gould Bro
kaw had bad day of it on the stand
at Minneola, l.. l., today. He had
previously testified of his attitude OF
fairness toward his wife, who is SUI
ing for separation with alimony OF
$50 900 a. year; but today, under skill
full cross-examination by her lawyer
he was forced to admit that he had
accused her in letter to his mother
in-law of loving another man, OF
drinking too much port wine, and or
smoking cigarettes. He also admit
ted that his secretary, Byford, had
assisted him in breaking down the
door of his wife's bedroom on one
occasion. =.
Brokaw was in an irritable mood
and forgetful of details.
The pretty plaintiff, however, who
drove over from a snowbound retreat
at Westbury, l.. l., with members of
her family, was in as light humor as
her husband was dark. Almost bur
led in white furs, she sat within a
few feet of the witness and smiled
often. The court room was crowded.
