QUEST FOR TREASURE.
Expedition to Recover Pirate Booty
From Island in the Pacific.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-L. H.
Andrews, an attorney at No. 3S
Park Row, made public tonight
details of the proposed formation
of a 81 100000 corporation which,
he said, is to outfit and send to
Cocos Island, in the Pacific ocean,
an expedition in search of treas
ures worth millions of dollars,
said to be buried on that island.
Davenant Roger, of this city,
who has visited Cocos Island,
and who during the last two years
has worked on plan looking to
the recovery of the treasure, is at
the head of the enterprise. Mr.
Andrews said Mr.. Roger had OBJ
tanned a concession from the
government of Costa Rica, which
owns Cocos island, and that it is
intended to send an expedition
thither as soon as the rainy sea-
son is over.
The treasure. which is supposed
to lie in the volcanic island, has
been the object of other quests.
Two British warships have visited
the island in search of it, but
without success.
Some of the treasure is thought
to have been hidden on the island
in 1902 by a British schooner
which had turned pirate ship and
which had robbed merchantmen.
Other treasure is said to have
been secreted on the island in
1885 by the crew of the Mary
Dyer, barkentine. Eleven boat
loads of treasure are said to have
been placed on the island by the
crew of the barkentine,.
The whole project hinges on
getting the money" Mr.. Andrews
said Mr.. Roger had most of the
money that was needed prom
ised to him last year, but various
difficulties intervened. He knows
the island thoroughly. and if there
is man on earth who can get the
treasure it is he.

wouldn't allow it," she replied. and then she went further and said that she had had no communication" with him or with Indians generally.
 She was asked if she had not told Mckinley that she had formerly lived in Washington, ID. C., and that she had told him that she owned considerable real estate there. She admitted having lived in Washington ID. C.. though she was d native of Virginia, but she had said nothing about her real estate hold imgs there. The defense was on the point of asking her if she had not told the Indian that Washington. D. C.. was named after her family. but it de- sisted.
 All this and much more. relating to the alleged giving of liquor to the In- dian and doing his washing for him. was plainly intended to break down the character of the witness. who. however, triumphantly emerged from the ordeal and established her stand ing in the community by the state ment that she had once been a cook in the household Of the court. and she appealed to the court for confirma- ton Judge Kent nodded slightly and smiled
 But the main fact could not be con- tradicted-that Mckinley had broken into the house: was found in 1t and that articles be'onging to Mrs. Rainey were found in his pocket. When the jury got a chance at him it promptly convicted him.
 This is not the first time Mckinley has been convicted. So long ago. that people had forgotten about it. on May 27. 1893. when he was known only as 500 Tank. Pima, he was con victed of assault with intent to com init murder and was sentenced by Judge Baker to ten years in the ter ritorial prison. He served a part of the term.
 A woman bv the name of Mrs. J. H. Simpson was travelling through the country in covered wagon, accom- panied by her two stepsons. They had gone into camp about five miles southeast of Phoenix. The Indian called at the camp and asked for a drink of water. It was given to him, when he began shooting at the wagon in which Mrs. Simpson was sitting. She was wounded twice. but not seri- ously.
 The jury in the case of Andrais. the Indian charged with horse stealing, brought in a verdict of guilty after much labor which it was feared would result in a disagreement The fact that the jury in the Rochin case had been unable to agree and had been dis charged on Sunday morning was spread on the records and steps were taken toward another trial

AsNER M'KINLEY GOT IT FOR
 BURGLARY.
Mrs. Raincy's Narration of a Halloween
 Celebration.

The trial of Isudoro Pima for con structivc rape and the ruin of his l3- Near-oId stepdaughter. now an inmate af the Crittenton home. where she be- came a mother few days ago, was of very short duration The offense had already been boastfully and defiant Iv admitted by Pima. who threatened tp fall back upon the constitution of thc United States if the local authori- ties persisted in their interference with his domestic affairs.
 The jury filed out of the box. left the court room. filed back and pre- ,ented a verdict of guilty. Pima will be sentenced tomorrow.
 The rest of the afternoon was taken mp with the case of Abner Mckinley. a Pima Indian, on a charge of burglary The crime was committed on the night of october 31 at the residence of Mrs. Adele Washington. cOlored, far out on cast Madison street Mckinley ap- peared there with two other Indians supposed to be Yaquis and discharged a revolver in front of the house and afterward broke in.
 But that story was told at the time along with the narration of the evacu- tion of the premises by Mrs. Washing ton and a roomer. Archie Rainey. The history of the case left Mir. Rainey pursuing his way eastward and 1t was not widely known that he had ever returned until he appeared in court

yesterday: but Mrs. Washington ad- mitted. blushing so far as she was able. that he had been back for some time and that she had become his wife. a fact that has been overlooked by the society columns.
 Mrs. Washington. now Mrs. Rainey. told the story of the tragedy in her own way She said that she heard the noise in front of her house and she thought it was de chillun cele- bratin' halloween" She called to them. ''go way chillun,'' and she re- peated this demand when she heard one of them step on the porch. Next she heard some one tear the screen door open and she went to the window to protest against the violence of this Halloween celebration. She saw in the moonlight man with a revolver in his hand, trying to batter the inner door down. Next she described the confusion in which she and her future husband conGested the back door and fell over each other in a friendly riv- airy to see which could get out first.
 On cross examination the defense asked Mrs. Raincy a foolish question. It was whether she saw the Indian break into the house and how he did it. She replied that she could not speak from a personal knowledge for "dey wasn't nobody dere but him" She identified pair of scissors and several other articles found in the possession of the Indian when he was arrested in the house by Constable Murphy. She also identified at a glance the revolver which was found near by. as the one she had seen in the hands of her visitor on the porch.
 On crosseXamination. the defense sought to show that the Indian went tO the house by force of habit: that he had been invited there at different times by MT. Rainey and that she had tried to get him to take room there. all of which she denied. She was asked if she had not proposed marriage to the Indian. 'Of co'se not. the laws

 Mir Heard stated that arrangements had been made to send forward on Thursday morning another shipment of Salt river valley products. and ap- peals to all loyal friends of this val ley to bring to the board of trade. on Tuesday. some specimens of excep- tionally choice products of their land These will be shipped to Chicago and help to freshen up the Salt river valley display. Word is received that more oranges, dates. olives. grape fruit. lemons and garden truck are needed.
 This is certainly an unusual oppor- tunity for the people of this valley to advertise this section, and it is hoped that everyone will do his share towards making the shipment next Thursday a large one.

DIVISION OF TEMPE
 OVER ELECTION BOARD
The Board of Supervisors Asked to
 Reconsider a Recent Change

X delegation of Tempe citizens was before the board of supervisors yes terday in special session to demand a encouragement Of the election board of the local option election to be held in Tempe precinct on December ?. One of the judges originally appointed was Frank Fogal for precinct No. ?. em- bracing the corporate limits of Tempe.
 X few days after the appointments had been announced but before the publication of the notice of election, a delegation of citizens of Tempe called upon the board and asked that the name of j. T. Brichett be substi- tutcd for that of MT. Fogal. This re- quest was especially urged by J. w. Woolf who said that though Mir. FoGal was q good citizen. he was op posed to prohibition, and it was the desire of the speaker and those he represented that the temperance ele ment be properly represented on the board
 This change was then made by Chairman Hoghe and MT. Hunsaker, Mr Orne not then being present.
 w J. Kingsbury was the spokesman IOT tue pA NfSl'iheAN- asked for the reappointment of MT FogaI first on sentimental grounds and then on the ground that he was q good citizen. interested in the material welfare of Tempe. It made no differ ence. said MT. Kingsbury. what the sentiment of MT. Fogal might be with respect to temperance. he was a square man and as judge of the cleo ton he would not discriminate be- tween prohibition and prohibition votes He said that if Mir. Birchett or any other good citizen had been named by the board at the first meeting. there would have been no protest on the part of any citizen of Tempe. but since Mir. Fogal had been appointed. the reconsideration of that appointment was an unjust reflection upon him. though the board undoubt- edly had not meant it to be such.
 There was disposition on the part of the board to reconsider it's action in substituting Mir. Birchett for Mir. Fogal. but it was questioned whether it had the power to make any change since the election notice had been pub lished.
 It was determined to refer the matter to the district attorney. who at that time was busy in the district court
