PRESCOTT MAN WILL
 LIKELY BE NAMED,
From Thursdays Daily)

| -J
 George Christy, assistant United States attorney, yesterday while in the city stated to a Journal-Miner re- porter that he is not a candidate for reappointment to his present office. He added that he will give his en- tire time to private practice in Phoe- nix.
 According to well-informed local Republican leaders, J. c. Forest of this city will in all probability be the new assistant United States at torney.
 He is one of the well known mem bers of the Yavapai county bar and is understood to have the endorse ment of the Republican territorial executive committee. He was the Republican nominee at the last cleo tion for district attorney and was defeated by but seven votes.
 It is generally believed that the appointment of Joseph E. Morrison to succeed J. L. B. Alexander will be confirmed within a few days after the Christmas holiday for the na tional lawmakers is ended.
 It is expected that the eonfrma ton will be made some time between January and January 10.
 Inasmuch as MT. Morrison, the new appointee, is from the southern sec tion of the territory, it is but nat ural to suppose that his assistant will be named from the northern district
 MT. Forest is a close friend of the new United States attorney and in asmuch as he has secured the endorse ment of leading Republicans through out the territory, it is regarded as almost a certainty that he will be selected.
 Several newspapers in the southern portion of the territory have inti' mated that MT Christy will continue in his present position. However MT. Christy's statement that he in tends to devote all his time to his private practice and that he is en- tirely out of the field is accepted as final.
 Mir. Christy is a member of the law firm of Alexander and Christy of Phoenix, who enjoy a lucrative prae- tice in Maricopa county.

SOCIETY WOMAN
 WEDS MINING ENGINEER
From Saturdays Daily

Oaliy1
 Prescott people will learn with in- terest of the wedding of Miss Helen Alexander, the charming and accom- plished daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. L. B. Alexander of Phoenix, to Harold Baxter, a. well known mining engineer. The wedding took place at the home of the brides parents.
 Miss Alexander spent last summer at Iron Springs and has a large cir cle of friends in this city.
 The Phoenix Republican says of the wedding:
 One of the prettiest weddings of the. season was that of Harold Baxter to Miss Helen Alexander Friday af- ternoon at o'clock at the home of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. J. L. B. Alexander, of 139 West Adams street. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. W. Atwood, rector of Trinity church, assisted by Bishop J. M. Kendrick. There were about twenty guests present.
 The wedding was very informal and was attended only by the immediate friends of the bride and groom. It was kept a secret till the very last moment and the news of it did not | leak out till just before the event
 The marriage ceremony was per formed beneath an archway of pep per sprigs which were draped from the doorway between the living room and the dining room. The bride was given away by her father, Captain Alexander, and the groom was at- tended by L. D. Carr. The simple ring service of the Episcopal church was used.
 Immediately after the ceremony a collation. was served in the dining room. The table was prettily dee orated with flowers and at each plate there was a bouquet of violets. Af. ter a delicious luncheon speeches of felicitation and hearty wishes for hap piness were made by Judge A. C. Baker, George B. Christy and Cap tain Alexander, to all of which MT. Baxter responded in a happy vein. The brides cake and the groom $

cake were then cut but nobody found the ring in their piece.
 The bride is so well known in the social circles of Phoenix that it is al most superfuous to speak of her so- cial attachments and her popularity in every set with which she has been identified. She has always been deserved favorite and MT. Baxter is to be heartily congratulated on his successful suit.
 The groom is a successful mining engineer and at present has charge of the North Star group of mines at Yuma and also the Cunningham Pass mines at Wendendale. The many friends of the couple will be glad to learn that MT. and Mrs. Baxter will reside in Phoenix, as MT. Baxter has leased offices in the Fleming block and will conduct his business as far as possible from this point.
 The guests at the wedding were Judge A. c. Baker and Mrs. Baker, L. D. Carr, MT. and Mrs. Clarence Sta eey, Master Robert Baker, MT. and Mrs. Henry Alexander of Scottsdale, Miss Florence Alexander, Mrs. Jos ephine Stevens, Bishop and Mrs. J. NJ. Kendriek, Rev. J. W. Atwood, Mr. and Mrs. Howe Williams, Miss Ruth Ainsworth, Miss Hazel Goldberg, Mr. and Mrs. George B. Christy, Miss Louise Swetnam and Miss Belle Stew ems.

eldest daughter is Mrs. Thomas Steele, who resides here. Mrs. Steele bears the distinction of being the first white born child of American parents in Arizona. Kirkland himself is a typical frontiersman, and his ex- periences with the Indians of the early days in Arizona would make in teresting reading matter.
 A. J. Doran, one of the two vice presidents from Yavapai county, IS another noted pioneer. He came here as a soldier in the early days, and his experiences are thrilling in the extreme. A man absolutely de- void of fear, he passed through the troublous times of the early days and lives to tell the tale. On one occasion while en route from Florence to Casa Grande by coach, the only means of conveyance, the stage was held up by a bandit. Doran was the only occupant of the stage. Instead of complying with the bandits command to hold up his hands, Doran jumped out of the vehicle and grappled with the hold-up man. A hard tussle fol lowed, but Doran finally succeeded in wrenching the pistol from the ban dit's hands. He. then placed the outlaw in the stage and took him to Casa Grande, where he turned him over to the officers. MT Doran is now superintendent of the Pioneers Home in Prescott.
 On the board of directors are Sa bino Otero, a prominent ranchmani E. N. Fish, s. H. Drachman and Tom Steele, all well known to Tucsonians

TARANTULAS FOUND ALMOST
 LARGE AS DINNER PLATE

Hale and hearty, despite his so- journ on a wild and uninhabited island amid thousands of poisonous insects and serpents and surrounded by Indians supposedly likely to be- come threatening at any time, Dr. Fayette A. Jones, the explorer and mining engineer, has arrived in Al buquerque, N. M, from the island of Tiburon in the Gulf of California, off the coast of Mexico, says the Morning Journal.
 pr. Jones headed a party of Ari- zona explorers who went to the island in October in search of valuable min eral deposits. J. A. Bateman was the only other Albuquerque. man in the party, the remainder being picked up at Bisbee. They were: Joe Beals, miner and navigator; John Hagan, sailor, and Chester Kilgore, Charles Clendinning and William Tierney. Dr. Jones left Albuquerque October II. At that time he did not expect to be chief of the party. but his wide experience and courage was responsible for his being chosen leader. The party left Guaymas, Mexico, October 2s, and after a voy- age of eight days reached Tiburon.
 The island was thoroughly explored, the men remaining there for more than a month. No traces of minerals of any value were found, with the possible exception of obyidian, a mineral which resembles pitehblend, the substance in which radium is found. This mineral is of no com mercial value.
 Dr. Jones and his party found the island an extremely rugged expanse of land. According to their measure ments, it is about 35 miles in length and has an average width of IS miles. Except in the southeast portion, where there is tall grass which might be available for grazing, there is not much vegetation. The trees are ironwood and scrub mahogany and there are mesquite bushes and i'm mense cactus plants. One of these, according to pr. Jones, was sixteen feet in length.
 Throughout the island there are numerous springs. The water, how ever. is saline and filled with alkali. In the central part of the island is a well defined valley into which deep arroyas lead.
 Animal life is plentiful. Deer
Weekly journal-miner., 1910-01-05

abound, and members of the party shot fifteen of these animals during their stay there. There are also hun dreds of coyotes. Trading rats, shap- ed after the fashion of small kanga- roos, are plentiful.
 Scorpions, centipedes and snakes are so numerous that the party had to exercise extreme care to avoid be- ing stung by them. The ratie- snakes are immense and are partieu- larly vicions, as they do not give g warning rattle before striking.
 A member of the party killed d tarantula as big as a dinner plate and nearly all the men brought home large numbers or rattlesnake skins.
 "We started out to kill every rat tier we saw," said Dr. Jones, "but they were so frequently met with that if we had continued to do so we would have had time for nothing else."
 Bird life on the island is varied and extremely prolific.
 The climate of Tiburon, according to Dr. Jones, at this season of the year, is warm in daytime, but is chilly at night. A northwest wind prevails. The island is volcanic and extremely rugged. The tides are ex. tremely high and rapid, running as rapidly as four to esven miles an hour, and reaching a height of from seven to twenty feet. The party's most extreme danger was encountered in attempting to land. Their chart which was made by Admiral George Dewey in 1873 and 1875, was anti quated, owing to the formation of nu merous sand bars. The vessel struck one of these and narrowly escaped being upset.
 Dr. Jones made maps of the island and took a great deal of interesting scientific data. This he will supple ment with a large number of pie lures which he took while on tht trip.
 The party did not encounter tht Serf Indians on the island, though i met a party of them on the main land where they stopped two days or the outgoing voyage. The Indians were extremely friendly and under stand a few words of Spanish. The! live in temporary huts and pain their faces like savages. They hail ed the arrival of the explorers w:tl delight and offered a number of ar tieles to trade.
 In its trip from Guaymas to Tibu ron the party encountered head wind and was obliged to tack repeatedl. in order to make any headway. Tn journey of 14O miles required eigh days.

Burwell Claims Governor Has Same Right to
Interpret L0w as Have the Courts Kiew of
Oklahoma City Attorney Did Not Set Well
With the Supreme Gourt--Justices Freely
Ask Questions GiiUen Until Wednes-
day Night to File Briefs.

Iernment is. but must inquire of the
executive department? Who has the
/ right to say what the law is?a
Judge Burwell; when the legisla.
tive department says where the CAPT
tai is and the executive recognizes it,
the judiciary also should recognize it,
Several decisions were cited in re-
gard to interference with the discre.
tion of the governor
Where the capital is" said Justice
Williams, "is not question of discre-
tion, but a question of law"
A long line of decisions was cited to
show that the governor could not be
restrained, even when doing an un-
lawful act.
If Governor Haskell is wrongfully
removing the capital to Oklahoma
City," said Judge Burwell, "the rem
edy is found in impeachment by the
Legislature, but no district court can
control his actions. In case of a diff
ference of opinion one is as liable to
be as right as the other"
Justice Williams then stated that
there was some question as to the au.
thority of constitutional convention
to adopt ordinances, but asked Bur
well what effect such an ordinance
would have. If any at all.
The latter stated that it would mere
| Ily have the force of law and not be
! defective after the people had acted
Justice Williams suggested that the
usual rule of construction was tc
harmonize conflicting statutes if pos
Isible and that as the ordinance and
the enabling act referred only to the
temporary capital and the initiated
lbill to the permanent capital it ought
| to be possible to harmonize them.

ANTITRUST CASES
AGAIN POSTPONED
Arguments in Antitrust Suits Must
Await Sitting Of New Chief
Justice.

Washington. July 5-News Of the
death of Chief Justice Fuller occa-
stoned surprise here because of the
general belief that he was enjoying
good health for a man of his years.
For twenty-five years Mr.. Fuller had
been the chief justice of the United
States Probably not since the time
of Chief Justice Marshall, who pre-
sided over the court for thirty-three
years, did questions Of such moment
come before the court as In the period
when Chief Justice Fuller was its most
prominent figure. 1t was he also who
had administered the oath of Office to
every president at regular Inaugural
tions since Harrison's day.
Although the Oldest man on the
bench by several months, the yener-
able jurist had not been absent on ac-
count Of illness for years. During the
last winter he performed more than
his usual share Of work.
Not only did Justice Fuller perform
his proportion of the increased Iabors
due to there being eight, and part of
the term only seven members on the
bench. but he accepted willingly other
work for mankind
One of his most important tasks dur
ing the last few months of his life was
that of acting as arbiter in the dispute
between Costa Rica and Panama over
the boundary between those two coun-
tries. Friends We're aware that his
step was becoming gradually shorter
ana that his shoulders were becoming
more ssooped, but otherwise there
were few noticeable signs of advanc-
ing old age.
Just a day or two before the chief
Justice left Washington for Bar Harbor
he made a tiresome business trip to
Chicago and return.
Aside from the grief over the death
