The council, having famed Com
missioner Tuerke out on screen

bat. II any saloonman, inspired by
last nights decision of the council,
has the notion that the game is
over they will save some trouble

KERN EM|TS A
FINAL VAIL
(By United Press.)

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2S.-That
he lost the nomination as United
States senator through bribery oc-
curing in the party caucus is the
claim of John w. Kern, former
democratic vice-presidential candi-
date. He attributes his defeat to a
nomination made by secret bal
lot instead of by public ballot.
He says that in this way several Of
his pledged supporters were en-
abled to vote against him under
cover. Because of the secret bal
lot ! cannot furnish evidence to
convict" he said, but as to the per-
fidy of some Of them | have suf-
ficient evidence for my own pur-
poses"

little scheme by which he hopes to
bring about a thorough. observance
of the saloon screen law. He is
planning to catch 'em when they
want their licenses renewed.
The places that do not comply
with the law will likeyl be refused
a renewal till after their places are
remodeled to conform with the
laws as the city officials see 1t, un-
less the mayors plan brings en-

Sergeant of Police ID. ID. McPhee
was given his retirment at half
regular pay, because of physical
disability incurred in the perform
anec of his duty as an officer, by
almost unanimous vote of the po-
lice pensioning board this morning.
His monthly pension will amount
to $55 and as there is an INSULT
cient sum in the pension fund at
the present time, the city council
will be asked, at its next meeting,
to pass an ordinance appropriate
ing $125 from the general fund to
make up the deficit for the re-
mainder of the year.
McPhee's pension, together with
that of ex-Captain Coverly's. which
is $50 per month, brings the total
expenditure in pensions up to $l15
monthly. There is but little over
SCALA in the city treasury from
which the one per cent belonging
to the police pensloning fund can
be drawn, hence there is but little
over 500 per month from this
oouiNC NnC d
age of over SIS a month in the
pensions.
Together with the one per cent
drawn down from the city treasury
from license fees, and fines for
carrying concealed weapons, the
council will be asked to direct by
ordinance the police department to
turn the entire proceeds from the
sale OF jewelry, guns, knives and
other unclaimed goods left at head
quarters into this fund.
The motion asking that the city
council be requested to pas an
ordinance authorizing the approi
priation of the $125 and for TIE

RAILROAD WASHOU7 DELAYS LOCAL
 TRAFFIC
HEAVY STORMS IN CHA VALLEY PUT TRACKS TEMPORARILY
 OUT OF COMMISSION

As the result of heavy rains dowr the valley, the tracks of the Gila Val ley railroad were damaged in two places, and traffic suspended for about three hours, yesterday afternoon.
 Two separate storms did the damage Eleven miles north of Bowie the waters cut through the roadbed, washed out the embankment for about twenty feet and put the tracks out of commission for some time.
 A heavy storm in the Graham noun tains flooded the tracks q short dis. tanee below Fort Thomas. but the dam age at this point was not serious.
 The passenger train came through on schedule time, escaping the effects of the floods. The freight train was not so fortunate, however, being held up for three hours, at the Bowie washour.
 A construction gang was at once rushed to the scene of the principal washout and the damage was soon re- paired. There will be no delay in the running of trains down the valley to- day, unless there should be further storms early this morning.

 It must have been q long, sad story, for only the score, with neither ex- planation nor apology, was sent back by the team.
 The score in itself tells enough of the tale. Scoring four runs to every ono made by Prochaska s aggregation, the Bowie bushers performed the earth mopping stunt themselves, and when they finished, sad looking bunch of baseball players boarded the train for Tucson.
