PHOENIX, Sept. 20.-Adeline Bi sera, the l-year-old child of Mir. and Mrs. P. Bisera, was drowned in an irrigation ditch in front of her home in East Tempe yesterday, shortly af- ter noon. Coroner Carr was notified and he empaneled a jury, who gave the cause of the child's death as ac- cidental drowning.
 While the family was eating dinner the little girl, unnoticed, crept out of the coor and possibly five minutes later, as related by Mrs. Bisera. the child was missed, and after half an hours search by the family the little tot was discovered lying fin the bot tom of the irrigating ditch in front of the house, only few feet away from where the family had been en- toying dinner. Every means known to the family and neighbors was used to restore the little one to fife. but proved of no avail, and the town authorities were summoned The coroner's jury about o'clock rem dered the above mentioned verdict.

.ENACT|NG CLAUSE
 MOST IMPORTANT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 20.-Spec- ial)-Hon. E. E. Ellinwood. one of the delegates from Cochise county to the constitutional convention, came to the city yesterday chiefly for the purpose of locating his family in Phoenix for the winter. He secured the residence of S. B. Taggart in Ey- ergreen addition on North Second street. That matter being disposed of MT. Ellinwood had some time left before he departed for the south on the evening train, to speak of the work of the convention.
 When he. was asked what he re- garded as the main feature of the constitution he replied that on the spur of the moment he could think of nothing more essential and to the point than the enacting clause. How ever. he believed that on further re- fection he might find other things that were desirable to put into 1t.
 In the course of the day MT. FL linwood met several members of the Maricopa delegation and he hastened to disabuse their minds of an i'm pression, conveyed to them by ru- nor, that he wanted to be chairman of the convention. He said that he did not, but that he was inclined to favor Morris Goldwater of the Yava- pal delegation.
 Some of the Maricopa delegation took kindly to the suggestion, but it is certain that MT. Goldwater will not get that honor by default Hon. Lamar Cobb of Graham can see no reason why he should not have it, but is is generally believed that in a contest Mir. Goldwater would win. It is thought that he would get the powerful Cochise delegation, all the support from the north and at least a considerable vote from Maricopa-

She signified her willingness to go with United States Inspector Muskgraye, and confessed to the essential part of the charge.
 Friday evening Chief of Police Moore received a warning from Cap tain Cornell at Tucson to arrest Stella Graham at once, but Chief Moore did not think it necessary to bring action so hurriedly. Omcer Troutman arrester her yesterday in the redlight district. When told of the cause of the arrest she did not deny that she came into the country unlawfuliy, but did not shew herself wrought up over the trouble. She was brought to the police station just in time to catch the outgoing train for Tucson.
 When she was II years of age she moved from Hermosillo, Mexico, her birth place, to Bisbee, where her mother conducted a restaurant in the lower district and she began an i'm moral life at that early age From there she went to Naco and Cananea and to Douglas. She then came to Phoenix and has been an inmate of the reservation ever since, excepting two years
 It was in these two years that she made hersief liable to exclusion from the United States. She moved to So- nora, Mexico. and continued the life of degradation After these t~o years she removed to Phoenix. thus violating the immigration laws of this country, which prohibit any per son being brought into the country | for immoral uses. Inspector Crontn has been working on her case for the last six months, with the view iof deporting her.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Inside lights on how the increased freight tariffs were made up were shed by Charles F. Daily, vice president of the New York Central lines. unde, cross-examination before the inter state commerce commission, now in Qairing into the proposed increased freight rates in the eastern territory.
 Mir. Daly said that each road had decided on its own increases in rates and the railroad representatives then met in this city to check up results and make the raises uniform.
 Tt would be suicidal for each road to have a different rate" said Mir. Daly. Protection of commercial in- terests in the different sections de- mands . uniform base"
 Counsel desired to know when the higher tariffs were decided upon and Mir. Daly said in June of this year. Counsel tried to learn if the advance was contemplated before the wage increase became a fact, but Mr. Daily would not admit it.
 Replying to 6 question how the railroads had fixed the amount of in- crease to be borne by each class of freight, MT. Daily said the railroads aeeded more money and apportioned their needs to the different classes of freight as seemed best
 A long argument followed a re quest by one of the counsel for the detailed operating expenses of the New York Central lines. An attor- ney for the shippers said he had been given a summarized statement, which was lacking in detail as to different items, and he demanded a chance to see is expenses had been padded.
 Luxuries on Fast Freight.
 Mir. Daily admitted on cross exam ination that most of the luxuries of life were carried in the fast freight and were known as the upper clas- ses" of transportation. Regarding the increases, Mir. Daily was asked if the luxuries would cost a little more to the people and the shippers.

HELPLESS MEN
 BUTCHERED IN
 LONELY CABIN
One of The Most Brutal Mur- ders in History of Arizona Revealed at Oak Stage Sta ton

GLOBE Sept. 20.--Appalline de tails of the atrocious murder in the lonely stage station at Oak creek, brought in by the coroner and his the most heinous in the history of Gila county. The murder was un- doubtedly committed for the sake of the money yaluables and outfit Of the two innocent victims, and was a cowardiy simultaneous attack upon two unsuspecting men. The room in which the deed was done was a yer itab.e charneI house bearing mute witness to the terrific struggle caused by the heroic fight of Eillpot after his comrade had been killed by a single shot. The men were killed by William Stewart and James Steel, according to the verdict of the cor oner's jury.
 The house in which the killing took place is a seven room affair. There are four rooms across the front and three front doors. One end room had in it cot and considerable bedding Adjoining it was a room intended for a dining room, furnished with long table several stools and a bedstead.
 Judge Thomas theory is that Hill pot was lying on the cot in the end room, the door of which was open. He believes that Kibbe was seated at the table in the dining room and. from a pipe and spilled tobacco found on the floor was about to smoke, while on the bedstead only three or four feet away one of the assassins were seated.
 According to Judge Thomas opin- ion almost simultaneously with the shot fired by the murderer on the bed which entered Kibbe's left eye and killed him instantly and another which evide1ely missed Kibbe just as he was falling. Hillpot was shot by a 3o-40 Winchester by the other assassin who was evidently standing just outside of the door Of the room in which his victim was reclining the bullet entering Hillpot's left shoul der and passing out through the arm nit. Hillpot is believed to have rushed into the dining room where he was met with a clubbed Winches ter in the hands of one of his mur- derers and then began his desperate and unarmed fight for life against two villianous and heavily armed men.
 So game was his fight that the stock of the Winchester was splin. terer over his head and finally com p1eteiy broken off after which the barrel was used as evidenced by the deep holes in Hillpot's head caused by the hammer of the gun. The floor and even the walls and ceiling of the room are so bespat- tered with blood as to give the place the appearance of a shambles.
 When he was finally overcome from the blows rained down upon him and fell to the floor the dastards in rifling his pockets found that there was still life in his body and holding a rifle to his chest shot

MYSTERY OF FREIGHT RATES
 S PARTLY MADE CLEAR

50 little that the advance will have no practical effect in many in- dividual cases" replied the witness.
 What effect on the man who sells his goods"
 Very little: it will be more than gained by the improved conditions of the railways of the country and it's aid to general business" replied Mir Daly.
 Are women's dresses, caildren's clothing and shoes in those freight luxuries?"
 Yes"
 Well, the men of St Louis who buy shose from New England facto- ries must pay this higher freight; the money win be taken out of their pockets and transferred to the cof- fers of the New York Central?"
 Some of 1t was paid back to the men who buy the shoes-ws keep very little of it. It goes out almost as fast as it comes in"
 erandeis Asks Pointed Question.
 Louis Brandeis, attorney for the Eastern Seaboard shippers assoeia- ton, inquired whether the New York Central or the Trunk Line associ- ation had consulted with the boot and shoe men of New England before raising rates. Mir. Daly answered in the negative, but said the boot and shoe trade of Chicago had been con suited
 Asked whether the New York Cen tral could pay operating expenses without an advance in rates, MT. Daly replied that it probably could, but it was difficult to run such Q road on a basis so close and eco nomical. He added:
 ''The shippers are not squabbling over a few cents advance, but they want the service. The public wants improvements in the road, rolling stock, better stations and all the lux uries of travel and business They do not object to paying a share in the cost of these things"
