TEST AT FIFTH AND BROADWAY
The first trial will be at Fifth street
and Broadway some time next week,
the exact date to be made public
later After the system has been tried
out at that intersection, which is con-
sidered one of the busiest in the down.
town district, the traffic at First and
Main streets will be regulated by
whistle signals for several days to
demonstrate to the railroad companies
and the public that the traffic can be
handled In this way and at the same
time reduce the number of accidents
at street intersections.
The whistle system as proposed by
Sergeant Butler is as follows: One
blast of the whistle from the crossing
officer will set all north and south
bound traffic in motion, and two blasts
will set all east and west traffic in
motion. Three blasts Of the whistle
will be the signal for all traffic to
halt, and will be used in cases of fire
apparatus and police ambulances.
Under the system the right of way
between respective cars will be entirely
abrogated, and two or more cars will
be permitted to cross the street at
the same time pedestrians and We
hicles are set in motion.

NOISE AND LIGHT MISSED.
Why Some Townspeople Are Unable to
 Live in the Country.

The necessity which some people feel for noisy surroundings was mentioned by a famous specialist in giving a medical explanation of the case of lit tie Horace Collins, the heroic messen- ger boy. The lad. although able to gratify every wish as the guest of Lord Lansdowne at Bowood House. has a mastering longing for the hustle and light of the London streets.
 Tt is a very clear case of nostalgia" said the doctor "A person suffering like that has lost two everyday friends. as it were-noise and light It is en- tirely due to the nerves. Our nervous system gets into a pronounced groove in accordance with the everyday con ditions under which we live. A sud- den change in living throws the nerv- ous system out of gear. Both light and noise are nervous stimuli to people who live amid noise and light. Take away the comradeship of noise and light. and the nervous system loses two stimulants necessary to it's we'll being and suffers in consequence
 With the boy Collins the fact that he does not see policemen troubles him. because policemen to him have become an important part of the na- tural scheme of things.
 "A very similar case occurred with a London housekeeper of mine. She was sent away to the country. and sim ply could not endure to live there. She missed the companionship of noise so much that she had to be brought back to town again quickly. for her health was beginning to suffer- London Daily Mail. ...,.

HIGH F|MANc|ER|Mg
 OF ARIZONA COMPANY
Requires the Presence of District At-
 torney BuIIard in New York.

District Attorney Bullard left last night for New York. where a meeting of the stockholders of the Amalga- mated Mining and Oil company. is to be held. The company is in re- ceivership. and MT. Bullard is the attorney for Receiver Wilson.
 There is alleged to have been some high financiering in the affairs of this company. which is the holding company for two others organized by the men who had control of the Amalgamated. The properties con- sisted of valuable oil land in Cali fornia and the Murchie mine in Ne vada
 A part of the plan was the organ ization of the Bankers Trust com pany, an Arizona corporation. with a name precisely like that of a strong financial concern in New York.
 Bonds to the amount of s1,500,000 of the two subsidiary companies were is- sued. and through the trust company were disposed of in small lots to in- consequential capitalists all over the country.
 Then came the formation of an English company which took over the stock of the oil company and was preparing to take over the assets of the mining company when the bond holders interfered. with the result of the receivership.
 There is not roseate prospect of replief. but 1t is hoped that such action may result from the New York meeting as will save the Murchie mine to the bondholders.
 The property is said to be val uable one; that the company had been offered from s75,O00 to s100,0OO for it' The only operation now in progress on it is the constant pump ing to keep the water down.

KENNEDY WEAKENED
 AT THE LAST MOMENT
And Pleaded Guilty of Assault With
 Intent to Commit Murder.

James Kennedy maintained his bluff
 until he found that the sheriff's s office
 was not bluffing and then he pleaded guilty yesterday to an indictment charging him with assault with in-
 tent to commit murder. He waived
 time for sentence and was given
 seven years at Florence.
 His victims were John Ryan and whether either of these men had been located or not. after lapse of more
 than two years. To him the chances
 seemed to be in favor of their not having been found, and if not, there
 would be little or no evidence against
 him. What there might be would be
 so entirely circumstantial as to be of little value.
 But Cannon arrived in the city yes-
 terday morning and reported at the office of the sheriff He had shaved his mustache off since Kennedy had last seen him and when he was taken to the cell of Kennedy the latter at first did not recognize him as his old :. partner whom he had left for dead at the Rowley mine on Thanksgiving night of 1907.
 But when at last he remembered something familiar about his visitor he began to turn pale and breathe quickly. It was then that Kennedy decided that he would quit the strug- gle for freedom.
 He was asked who was his com panion on that bloody night. but he denied. as he had always done. that there was any one with him. But Ryan. who has disappeared. saw two . men before he was hammered into inconsistencies and persons at Gila Bend saw d hobo with Kennedy on the afternoon before the assault and saw them leave town together.

THOUGHT HIS AIRsH|P
 COULD BEST TRAIN
Drunken Mexican On a Handear Races the Motor Train. Is Run Into and All His Whisky Bottles Broken.

The only sad feature of the accident, according to the point of view of the Mexican who was run into by q mo- tor car on the NJ. X P. yesterday morning. was that every last one of his whisky bottles was broken by the concussion. The man, whose name is Lorta, was sent to the hospital, but his ribs proved stronger than the bottles and he will be out again in day or so.
 Lorta was an employe of the road and was indulging in a novel spree early in the morning. He got one of the track machines out and started off on a croos-country flight like Willard and Hamilton. He saw the motor coming. but did not take the trouble to lift the machine off the track. He thought he could beat it to Phoenix. Then the crash came. and Lorta found himself in the ditch surrounded by broken glass and the fumes of whisky. The car was stopped and the man. who was so full of whis- ky that he did not need an anaesthct- ic. was lifted on and brought te .Phoe- nix. He was taken to St Josephs hospital. 4

THE IDEA OF PUTTING ON A
DAY CURRENT ABANDONED.
viii Cooperate With Ladies in
Their Efforts For a County
Fair. Other Matters.

At the regular monthly session of
the city council Monday night the
committee to whom was referred the
matter of putting on a day current
at the electric light plant, for the
purpose of furnishing electric power
to those who operate light machinery
and have their places of business
equipped with fans, reported that
they did not deem day current adj
visable at this time, and further con-
sideration of it was postponed in
definitely.
The committee who was appoint
ed to confer with the ladies who had
previously asked for an appropria-
ton by the council to help defray
the expenses of the fair that will be
held in Dawson next fall reported
that the petitioners desire that the
council enclose the lot on which the
fair will be located. A motion was
adopted that the city furnish the
labor for putting up bagging loaned
for this purpose by the warehouse
men of Dawson, and also to provide
adequate police protection during the
fair.
Messrs. Lowrey & Davidson asked
to be relieved of the license tax on
automobile dealers on the ground
that they had already paid a license
as vehicle dealers. Their petition
was referred to the license commit
tee, as was also a complaint from
j. S. Clay & Co. that they have been
required to pay too many licenses.
The members of the fire depart
ment were voted the usual annual
vacation of fifteen days, the same
