The House.

There were two house sessions but both were brief and all of the busie ness transacted could have been crowded into a fragmentary part Of one of them. The afternoon meeting would not have been held at all ex- .cept for the suppOsition that the governor would return messages re- lating to the Pace bill and the Duffy anti-gambling bill. Those messages announcing the governors approval of the bills would probably have reached the house if it had remained in session a little longer in the af- ternoon.
 In the morning MT. Bailey brought in a bill to increase the salaries of probable judges and clerks of the probate court in counties of the first class having an assessed valua- tion of $11, 1,OOO,OOO or more The salary of the probate judge is to be $25OO and that of the clerk, $1SOO This bill is intended especially for Cochise county, though it includes Maricopa.
 Mir. Woolf brought in a bill ap- .propriating s11O,OO0 for the improve ment and maintenance of the Tempe Normal school.
 MT. De Souza offered a bill pro- viding for stenographers in the grand jury room. This bill is de- signed to overcome the objections to a bill now pending in the council and threatened with defeat
 A bill was brought in by Mir. Roberts prohibiting lawyers from practicing before judges or justices of the peOce to whom they are related.
 The bill of MT. Morris for the es- tablishing of a home at Prescott for Arizona Pioneers was set for consid- eration in the committee of the whole next Tuesday.
 A communication was received from the chamber of commerce e Douglas endorsing the anti-boleta bill. The house adjourned until two o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE
 AGAINST LABOR LEADERS

Chicago. May 2o.--wider latitude in the introduction of evidence was gwen the prosecution by Judge Mcsureiy to7 day in the case against skinny" Mad den. F. A Pouchot and M J Boyle, labor leaders charged with conspiracy to exort money in the settlement or strike against the Joseph Klicka Com pany
 Judge McSurleys ruling followed several hours of argument and allows the state to introduce witnesses not directly concerned with the Klicka case. but who 1t is said, will give the testimony tending to show that the alleged extortion in the case at bar was merely an incident of the general policy pursued by the defendants.
 The first witness called by State Attorney Wayman, under this ruling. was Jacob Scharmer, building contrac- tor, who told of a strike called last September on the plant of the Jewel Tea Company.
 'T asked Pouchot why the strike had been called and he said that cer- tain sheet metal sleeves for the cof- fee roasting plant had been placed in the plant by non union labor. told him that if that was his only "kick" ] would have the Sleeves torn out and new ones put In by union men.
 "'Oh, don't bather about that leave them where they are.' Pouchot said. He told me to see Madden and

wHISKEY CASES OCCUPY
 COURT IN RUSSELLVILLE

RusselIville. May 2o.-(special.) -"whiskey Week." or A Con- vocation of the Ancient and Honorable Order of Boot ciatfon of wiIdcatters" is the way
 they speak of this weeks term of Circuit Court now in session..
 whiskey cases (of which something like thirty were placed on the docket
 of this term of court) have been given
 right of way after murder cases. and 1t looks like 1t will be "Whiskey week" sure enough.
 The circus started Friday of last
 week when murder trial was held up long enough for jury trying George Griffin for bootlegging to come in and report a mistriai. ten for ac- auittal and two for conviction. "Gentlemen," said his honor. "the court can't understand how you failed to agree on this case. Two witness es, only one of whom was assailad by the defense, testified to an open vio- lation of the prohibition laws. You
 are discharged, and I will say to you here will set this case for trial again Wednesday of next week and see if another jury in Franklin County won't
 have backbone enough to do their duty"
 The first whfskey case was against John Long of Russeilvilie. charged with .bootlegging," was called and given to the Jury in due course. They came | in after about an hour and reported
 verdict of acquittal.
 "Gentlemen," said his honor, "your verdict is not in accord with the evil
 dence. You ought to have brought in a verdict of guilty In this case. You | are discharged from further attend ance as jurors at this term of court. ?
 The Sheriff was instructed to sum- mons twelve jurors, which he proceed | ed to do. The new jury Is made up altogether of the leading business men | of Russellviile. all of them prominent
 as church members and officials. Lawyers say "the State is not play ing fair: they run in marked deck
 on them" At any rate the jury
 made up of the new jurors have since
 organization tried and convicted John Long on two cases. Several more ip-
 dictrnents are pending against him, | all of which will be tried this term | George Csriffin's case comes up next
 after another case against Long is dis | posed of.
 The Ezzell family are very much dis
 satisfied with the outcome in the mur- | der case While the Solicitor will car
 ry out his agreement with the women and mol pross the indictments now
 against them for murder. Noah EzzeIl father of the murdered man. will at once begin a new prosecution for mur- der. swearing out warrants and leave to the next grand jury to indict. All criminal cases triable this week l except whiskey cases have been con
 tinued. Term of court ends with the
 week.

 portunfty Arfses.

Manila. May 2o.---with but slight variation from It's action of final ad- journment, in the session, of 1908. the Philippine General Assembly in the closing hour of its session tonight, adopted a second resolution declaring in favor of the independence of the islands.
 The last formaiities with the Phil ippine commission had been exchanged and the statutory hour of adjournment had been passed when the question was presented by Speaker osmena. He said the policy of the assembly was to work in harmony with and support the government in all measures cal culated to advance the interest Of the Filipinos. Nevertheless the members had not abandoned their original as- piration for independence and there fore he moved that the Filipino dele gates to the Congress of the United States be instructed to present the question to that body whenever an opportunity was offered. fThe mem- bers, of the progressista or minority party asked permission to abstain from voting. which was granted.
 All the nstionalists then voted In favor of the resolution.
 The closing days of the SC sion were marked by great harmony between the assembly and commission. and practi- cslly all the important legislation de- sired by the government was enacted. Among the most important measures passed was railway guaranty which insures the construction of railway tc Buigo and the extension of the lines In Central Luzon to the extreme southern part of the island. practically making a trunk line across Luzon from north to south. and a bankruptcy act of general application.

Members of Late Dr. Eaton's Family
 Give Up Hope.
 Louisville, Ky, May 20.--After a thorough search of almost two years members of the family of the late Rev T. T. Eaton. pastor of the Walnut Street Baptist Church, and one of the foremost Baptists of the American contient, have abandoned hope ot ever recovering a unique and valuable ring which. throughout his life, pr. Eaton highly prized. Hope of recovering the ring vanished when, some time ago, the body was exhumed and the clothing searched, it being thought that 1t may have been carried with him to the grave.
 The ring was presented to Dr. Eaton some years ago by local friend. It consisted of the twelve precious stones forming the foundation of New Jeru- salem. set in shape of the high priest breast plate. The ring was not only valuable and a rarity, but had attract ed much attention.
 pr. Eton seldom wore the ring, be- cause of his dislike of the habit men wearing jewelry. He usually car ried 1t with him and would place 1t on his finger, when requested. to display it. pr. Eaton died suddenly two years ago at Grand Junction. Tenn, while on d lecture tour.
