POPULAR APPROVAL OF JUST JUDGES.

The resolutions adopted unanl- mously by the bar association of Arizona a few days ago, recom- mending the reappointment of Mir. Chief Justice Kent and Mir. Justice Doan to the positions they now occupy on the supreme bench of the territory, have the practically unanimous approval of the people. We use the words practically unanimous" in order to state the situation with absolute accuracy; for, altough we don't know of single citizen who dissents, it IS not to be supposed that a judge can fearlessly perform his duty throughout long tenure as Judge Kent and Judge Doan have done without creating here and there some individual dissatisfaction. The cordial spirit in which the press of Arizona, regardless of politics, seconds the recommendation of the bar association is in harmony with public sentiment in every quarter of the territory.
 The peculiar federal law govern ing the territory which requires the justices of the supreme court to be trial judges as well, in the admins tration of both territorial and fede- ral statutes, subjects the judges of the Arizona courts to the sever- est test as to legal ability and gen. eral fitness for the bench. That for many years the judges in this territory have measured up to an exceptionally high standard IS a matter of pride to all citizens Not only are our courts wholly free from taint of suspicion, but they have earned and gained the profound confidence of the peop.e There is no state of the union 1T which the solemn oath of office re- quired of judges is more faithfully observed than in Arizona.
 These facts are we'll khown a

Homicide at Duquesne.

by telephone from Duquesne, to .t6e effect Captain Stephen O'Con- nor U. $. A., retired, had shot Doctor A. s. Russel, and that the latter was said to be dying. Cap tain O'Connor was reported to have escaped. Sheriff Saxon and Under sheriff Lowe started immediately for the scene of the tragedy. Later in the afternoon word was received from Duquesne that Doctor Russel had died and that Captain O'Con- nor had been apprehended and was under arrest.
 Immediately upon receiving the information TIE OASIS communi- cated with the Duquesne store and was given the story of the shooting about as follows: OConnor and Russel, who have had more or less difficulty, extending over several years, met in the store, and had high words. Russel left the store and started for his home al Wash ington Camp, about mile distant. O'Connor followed him, overtaklng him on the road near the hoist, which is some three or four hun dred yards from the store, and shot him with double barreled shot gun, the charge piercing his lungs. Russel was still living at the time this information was received at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but an hour later his death was reported, and the apprehension of the cap tain. The shooting had occurred about noon.
 There was no eye witness to the terrible tragedy. The shot was heard by the day watchman for the Duquesne Company, who was not far away, and who proceeded immediately to investigate the cause; and he found Doctor Russel lying in the road bleeding profusely from the mortal wound inflicted by his assailant, who had disappeared. The watchman called assistance and the dying man was removed to building near at hand, where he died at the end of about an hour
 Doctor Gustetter was summoned from Nogales, and hurried to Du' quesne as fast as his automobile could go, but he arrived at Du quesne too late to be of any assist. ance. Before dying Doctor Russel wrote statement that he haC been shot by Captain O'Connor and he attempted to dictate a dis position of his property, but hi; language became incoherent, anC his desires were not divulged.
 Both men are known well il Santa Cruz county, where the, have lived number of years Captain O'Connor served in th regular army from 1860 until 1S9' or 1900, continuously, reaching th grade of captain, with which ranl he went upon the retired list, com ing home from the Philippines, in yalided.

GAYNOR TO STICK
TO MAYORS DUTY
ANNOUNCES REFUSAL TO Run
FOR GOVERNOR.
I'm Letter to Creelman, Mayor Says
He is Determined to Serve Out
His Term.

Few York, Sept. 27.-James Creei-
man. of New York, made public today
q letter from Mayor Gaynor. Mr.
Creeln.an decided on this step because
ha became convinced today that moth
ing but this action would prevent Mr..
Gaynor's nomination by the Demo-
cratic State convention. The letter
follows:
est. James, Sept. 26, 1910.
~eDear Mr.. Creelman:
''I am this day writing a letter to
Chairman Dix stating that I am not
q candidate for the nomination for
governor and refuse to become such.
7 do this to remove all doubt on the
subject which may have arisen by
reason of irresponsible statements
which I am informed are ling cir
cu1ated. No utterance Of mine has
put the matter in doubt.
Some have said to me that the con-
vention may nominate me, although
T am not candidate. 1t seems to me
that it might appear vain or egot1st1'
cal for me to assume in my letter to
Mr.. Dix that that extraordinary thing
might happen. therefore write this
supplemental letter to you tC take to
Rochester and show there SO as tc
prevent my nomination if it should
appear to be imminent.
make it plain that if nominated l
would decline to accept. I could not
abandon to their fate the splendid
men whom have appointed to Office
and who are working SO hard for good
government, nor could abandon the
people OF the city Of New York afte"
so short a service. You may make
this letter public in advance of going
to Rochester if, in your judgment, you
think the situation calls for it. But
do not do so unless it be plainly nec-
,essary. Every honest man will nn-
adersta nd me.
Sincerely yours,
"W. J. Gaynor

TRACING COUNTERFEITS.
Exciting Employment For Skilled Sc.
Cret Service Men.

The tracing of counterfeit bills back
to the persons responsible for their
issue is curious and exciting en-
ployment. The experts assigned by
the government to this work are
among the most skillful members OF
the secret service. The protection OF
the currency depends in large measure
upon their efficiency, and the pains
they take are almost infinite. The fol-
lowing case is one illustrating the diff
ficulties which the secret service peo-
pie meet and overcome.
A bank clerk in Cleveland had de-
tected counterfeit twenty dollar bill
in the deposit of a small retail grocer
An expert was sent for and under
took the case.
He found that the grocer had re-
ceived the bill from a shoe dealer, who
had it from dentist, who had it from
somebody else, and so on, until the
secret service man finally traced the
bad note to an invalid woman who had
used it to pay her physician. When
questioned this woman said that the
money had been sent her by her
brother, who lived in New Orleans.
The sleuth looked up the brothers
antecedents and sooE ?'came con-
vinced that he was the man wanted.
The brother, however, soon proved to
the satisfaction of the secret service
man that his suspicious were unfound-
ed. Indeed, it appeared that the NOR
ey had been received by the New Or
leans man in part payment for rent
of a house owned in Pittsburg. While
the sleuth was a bit discouraged, he
couldn't give over the case when he
had gone so far, so he took the next
train for Pittsburg.
The tenant Of the house in Pitts
burg proved to be a travelling oculist
who spent most of his time in the mid
die west. The secret service man had
the good luck, however, to catch him
just as he had returned from a trip,
and the man at once recognized the
bad bill as one that had been given
him by a patient in Cleveland, the
very point whence the sleuth started.
The patient was a boss carpenter.
The secret service man got his ad-
dress from the oculist and went right
after the new clew. At this point he
had a premonilion that something was
going to happen, and he wasn't dis
appointed.
Thc carpenter, an honest old fellow
said that he had received the bill from
certain Parker. The said Parker
was the small grocer in whose bank
deposit the counterfeit had turned up
The expert flew to the grocer's as
quickly as a cab could take him and
found it closed. He had left town.
Afterward it was shown beyond
question that the grocer was the agent
of an organized band of counterfeiters
His shop was mere blind. That tl,c
bill which he gave the carpenter
should get back into his own fund:
after travelling all over the continent
was one of those miracles of chance
for which there is no explanation -
