BANKERS TELL
THEIR STORY
Appear Before District At
torney at Pittsburg.
SEEKING BRIBE GIyERS

Prosecutor Questions More Than One
Hundred Officials and Employees of
City Depositories in an Effort to
Locate the ''Men Higher up"-No
Additional CounciImen Appear to
Take Immunity Bath.
Pittsburg. March 29.--This was
bankers day" in Pittsburg.
The district attorney questioned
more than 100 officials and employees
of the six city repositories in refer
ence to money being paid to city coun-
cilmen to obtain the passage of bank
ordinances in city councils during
1908.
Forty or more councilmen have con-
fessed that they received money for
the passage of the ordinances. Two
bank presidents, one now serving a
term in the penitentiary for bribery,
have admitted that money was paid
to have the ordinances passed. The
grand jury wants to know who were
the "men higher up in the bribery.
1t has been asserted in various con-
fessions now in the hands of the dis
trict attorney that the six city de-
positories provided a fund of $102,500
to secure the passage of the bank
ordinances, which included an interest
rate of only per cent, whereas other
reputable institutions made written
offers to pay 21a per cent on daily
balances.
All the banks under the fire of the
district attorneys office are under
stood to have promised to come for
ward with sworn statements. Some
of the bankers seen admit that the
reason they have not appeared before
the district attorney is that they have
not yet been officially notified to do
so. This fact was admitted by the
district attorney.
Though Judge Frazer was ready to
listen to pleas of no defense no pres
ent or former councilmen came for
ward for the immunity bath process.

His loss to the territory at this particular time is a sad one, for his memory was so keen and retentive that he could recall every little and big incident that occurred in the day when the first white man came to it.

JUDGE KIRKLAND
 CALLED BY DEATH
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Advices received in Prescott, yes terdsy, from Phoenix, were to the ef- feet that Judge William H. Kirkland, the dean of the pioneers of Arizona, had succumbed to pneumonia at winkelman.
 He was married in Tucson in 1860, and his wife was with him at the time of his death.
 His oldest daughter was the first child born in Phoenix.
 The loss of this man closes up the long chain of those who made his- tory in the far-away days when the Gadsden purchase was ratified, for when this historical event was seal ed, Judge Kirkland, as member of the military forces taking over the strip acquired, was detailed to per form the sacred duty of raising Old Glory to the masthead at Tucson.
 This was in 1856, and according to his account of the deed that he par ticipated in with sixteen other sol diers, the most thrilling chapter in his soldier life was enacted. He told of the threats that had reached his comrades from the Mexican com mander of the troops stationed at the pueblo, and when the officer in command of the Americans gave the signal with the crack of his revolver to raise the flag, every soldier rallied to the center, and with his left hand holding his cap and his right hand grasping his navy revolver, ready for action, up went the Stars and Stripes, without a shot being fired.
 In a few moments it was lowered, and the proclamation of taking over the territory under the purchase was formally sealed. This historic event took place at sundown, and after the eluclusion of the brief and solemn ceremonies, the handful of soldiers went to their camp, followed with additional threats against their per sons and the country. In a few weeks more soldiers came to rein force this little detachment, and the Mexican soldiers were disbanded
 In his long residence in Arizona, Judge Kirkland gave more consider ation to the flag-raising event than to any other chapter in his life, and up to few years ago his memory was clear in rehearsing this beauti- ful chapter in his "reminiscences of the early days.
 He was in the Mexican War, ana participated with General Taylor in the memorable campaign along the Rio Grande, opening up the country for the American invasion of Mex ieo. At the close of his soldier life, in 1859, he went to California for a brief period, but returned later to Tucson. From that point he came to what was then the wilderness of northern Arizona, and antedating the organization of the territory.
 Kirkland Valley was named after him in the early sixties, where he was eamped, with others, in looking over the field for placer mining ground. For over twenty years he continued to reside in the county, living at Congress, Congress Junction and at Fools Gulch.
 Physically he was a remarkable type of manhood. Over six feet tall, with wiry frame, his advanced age gave him a commanding position in performing manual labor, and his keen, dark eye told the story only too well that he was fearless and determined.
