DAUGHTER PLEADS IN
 VAIN FOR PARENTS

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-A case of unusually aggravating features oceu- pied the attention of the immigration officials last week. It clearly shows the absurdity of the present laws, the strict enforcement of which in many cases causes a great deal of unnecessary hardship. More than a year ago an old man and his wife, who owned a farm in Hungary, de- cided to sell their property and em- igrate to the United States to spend the rest of their days with their only daughter, living in New Jer- sey.
 We'll provided with money they reached Hamburg, where they fell into the hands of interruptions sharp CTS. who fleeeed them and sold them tickets for Buenos Ayres instead of tickets for New York. The two old folks arrived in Buenos Ayres after a long journey and when they learn ed of their mistake they found them selves powerless to remedy it as their funds were almost exhausted.
 They found employment on farm and at the end of a year had saved up enough to pay their transporta- tion to New York. When they ar rived here they were sent to Ellis Island, and when the officials learn ed the facts in the case they re- fused to admit the old couple, not withstanding the pleadings of their daughter.
 The poor old couple were ordered deported, and, under the law, they had to be sent back to Buenos Ayres, although their daughter offered to pay their fare to Hamburg or some other European port.
 How the old people will ever make their way back to their old home in Hungary from Argentina does not concern the officials. The law has to be obeyed.

NOTED PROFESSORS
 VISIT VERDE LANDS
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 Prof. R. W. Clothier. in charge of the agricultural department, at Tue son, and Prof. J. J. Thomber, of the botanical bureau of the University of Arizona, who arrived yesterday from ten days trip featuring and demonstrating in the Verde Valley, express themselves in the highest terms of that fertile section, which they state is one of the most inviting in produetiveness they have ever in- speeted. Prof. Clothier continued his journey homeward, but Prof. Thomber will remain for several days in the city in research and investigation of ornamental trees and shrubs, which abound in this altitude.
 Prof. Clothier speaks unqualifiedly of the immense possibilities of the agricultural outlook of the Verde Val ley, which he terms the bonanza country of Arizona. It exceeds in its fertility for it's area the famed Yakima Valley of Washington, in which estimation Prof. Thomber con CUTS.
 During their visit they delivered a series of five lectures, visiting Oak Creek, Upper Verde, Middle Verde, Cornville and Camp Verde, at all of which they. addressed large represent ations of the farming element. In fact, they were surprised at the num- Der attending, and so eager were the people to learn and witness the dem onstrations that they were asked to again come to the valley next year on like mission. Both speak in the highest terms of the cordial welcome and generous treatment extended. In concluding both state that no single section in Arizona has like advant- ages for agriculture and fruit rais- ing.
 Prof. Thomber stated yesterday that he intends to purchase a tract of land in the valley, to make it his permanent home. All that it re- quires to make it a famous country, is the building of a railroad, which is being generally discussed as al possibility within the next few years. The coming of these au- thorities is due to the splendid ex- hibit from the valley at the recent Territorial Fair.

JOHN HOWELL IS
 CLAIMED BY DEATH
CFrOm Thursdays Daily.)


 John Howell, for many years resident of this county, and founder of the Howell shelter on Lynx Creek, died a few days ago in Den yer, Colo. While residing in Ari- zona he was well known as one of the most energetic mining engineers in the country, and sopopularly was he regarded that he was elected from Yavapai county to the Legislature when the capital was located at Tue son. He secured a large appropri- ation for a wagon road from this city to Lynx Creek, the road still being the present route to that sec tion. This move was followed by the building of what war considered in that day the largest reduction works in the Southwest. The plant was of his own design, intended to treat the rebellious ores of that district It proved failure and the huge smelter was afterwards dismantled and taken away.
 After leaving this section Mr How ell operated in Australia, returning to the United States a few years ago and locating in Denver, where he was active in mining, notwith- standing his advanced age.
 His will was filed for probate in Los Angeles last Monday and the estate is valued at over S260,O00. His largest bequest is to his daugh- ter, Mrs. Dora NJ. Blakemore, who receives s57, 1900. He was 75 years of age.

People of Verde Valley Anxious to Have
 Route Reopened
Arthur Whitaker Says Proposition Can Be
 Financed
From Fridays Daily.l

Arthur W. Whitaker, who return ed yesterday to Jerome, states that the proposition for the rebuilding of the wagon road from that city to Prescott, through Yaeger Canyon, is being revived, and that the question Is being discussed in the Copper city and Verde Valley.
 That material financial assistance will be given by residents of that section for the building of the road, is vouehed for by MT. Whitaker, who has been interviewing several in Prescott during the past week with the object of having the matte again taken up and pushed to com pletion. MT. Whitaker states that he will return to Prescott in a few days to interview the business peo- pie of this city, and believes that with the cooperation of the Super visors, this desirable highway will be rebuilt. He suggests that the route surveyed some months ago, which will afford a good grade. In a commercial sense, he believes the road would be remunerative to both cities, as it would bring them with in three hours of each other by auto mobile service. One specific matter mentioned is that the farmers of the Middle and Upper Verde would welcome such a highway, and by it they could reach this market eOnven- iently in one day instead of devot- ing two days to the trip.
 MT. Whitaker states that the sen timent of his community is favorable to the creation of good roads at any cost, and the one to Prescott is up- permost among all classes.

NAME OF VALLEY
 VILLAGE IS CHANGED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 24 - The Board of Supervisors approved the changing of the name of the town of Sidney to Buckeye. When the Buck eye canal was built years ago the townsite then laid out was named Sidney, and the plat of it filed ae- eordingly with the County Recorder.
 As the town grew, the name of the canal became more famous than the name of the town, and it grad ually began to be known as Buck eye. Several still continued to use the name "Sidney," and following much wrangling over the two names a petition was signed by property owners, requesting that the name of the town be changed forever to Buckeye. The petition was filed with the Recorder, and with the ap- proval of the Board of Supervisors the town hereafter will be known as Buckeye. Eventually it is likely the property between the present town and the railroad station, about a half mile distant, will be platted and ad- ded to the town.
 Forty acres of the Sidney town site, which included a quarter sec tion, has been dropped from the Buckeye townsite The changing of the name satisfied all the residents of the place and ends long discus sion regarding the correct name of the town.

STRANGE CAREER
 NETS NEAT FORTUNE

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-One of the strangest professional careers which has ever been discovered in this city has been brought to an end, at least temporarily, by the arm of the law, and Banana Anna" its originator and sole practitioner, is facing trial with a possible jail sentence.
 And yet her only crime was to realize that banana skins and ap- pie cores were useless by-produets and to discover a remunerative use for them. As a result in the last three years she has netted about s4,50O, by applying this discovery and using perhaps 10 cents worth of the material needed. Indeed she has run a single banana skin up ts $1,000, and an apple core at least once brought her s25O. Her method was simple. She merely sold these articles to transportation companies.
 She sold them, however, at the top of the market. Carrying a small black bag. containing a number of these by-products, it was her custom to board a train, ferryboat or street ear, drop one unobtrusively, and at the first sudden start or stop, step on it, and fall. The rest, as her earn ings at the rate of $500 a year show, was easy. She simply made the most favorable settlement pos sible with the claim agent, thus avoiding damage suits in the courts
 However, Banana Anna" slipped once too often and it is likely that the courts will soon put an end to her strange profession and also de- press the price of banana skins and apple cores.

WALLAPAI CHIEF
 CROSSES THE DIVIDE

Sherum, last of the bloodthirsty
 chiefs of the Wallapai Indians, is
 dead. He passed to the happy hunt ing grounds in his wiekiup near
 Kingman, Friday, surrounded by his
 wives and family. His exact age
 is not known, but pioneers remember
 that he was an old warrior when
 General Thomas, now commanding
 the Department of the Colorado, de
 feated him in a sanguinary battle in
 the Santa Maria country in the early
 '70s. Until captured he held un-
 bounded sway over the entire tribe
 and is said to have been the author
 of many bloody raids. It is not
 probable that another chief will be
 chosen, as the members of the tribe
 are fast drifting away from tribal
 restraint.
 Sherum had been i'll several months and the members of the tribe had
 been patiently awaiting the end of the once powerful ehieftain, and dur ing the days and nights preceding his death the medicine men of the tribe had been using every effort to drive away the evil spirit. When it became known throughout the vari- ious camps in and around Kingman that the chief was dead there was a hurrying of the mOurners to the house of death, and the lamentations over his bier appeared to be whole heart ed sorrow, the tears streaming down the faces of the men and women alike, while the loud wailings could be heard all over the town. Within an hour the old chief was wrapped in valuable Navajo blankets and sew ed up with the fibre of the Spanish bayonets. His dying wish was that his remains be buried on the hillside near Canyon Station, about four miles east of Mineral Park, where other members of his family were either buried or burned. This request was a strange one, as the old chief held firmly to the traditions of the tribe, which required the burning of the bodies of those dying a natural death, i while burying was only accorded those who died violently.
 Few among the white people that knew the willy old chief during the early days in this Territory will re- gret his death, as he was at all times an implacable foe. Even to the day of his death he rebelled against the of the whites and used every effort to prevent the education of the young wallapais. He was naughty and arrogant at all times and his warlike spirit was only curb ed by the knowledge that any hostile move would be met by the practical extermination of the tribe.
 At daybreak this morning the fun eral cortege moved away from the camp west of town, and as the last mourner departed the wickiup was consigned to the flames, and then the long line of march was taken up that ended late yesterday in the side of the Cerbats, where the chief made his home in the long ago. and where other cnieftains' ashes were scattered to the winds.

AcKER INDICTED | FOR CRIMINAL LIBEL
From Wednesdays Daily)

IF rom WeOneSdayS Ddlly) A decided sensation was created
 when it became known that tht
 grand jury had indicted J. s. Ackel
 of this city on a charge of criminal
 libel. Late in the day a bench war
 rant was served upon MT. Acker by
 the sheriff and he gave bonds in the
 sum of $L000, his sureties being M
 B. Hazeltine and A. J. Head.
 The indictment was found upon
 the testimony of T. R. L. Daugntrey
 stockbroker of Jacksonville, Fla.
 who submitted letters to the grand
 jury, written by Acker to clients of
 Daughtrey in Florida, charging him
 with being an embezzler and other
 wise attacking his integrity. Daugh, trey had come into possession of some twenty-five of these letters, and he used these to show his character had been tradueed, and incidentally, that his business had been injured.
 The alleged libelous missives were the outcome of a business transae- tion between MT. Acker, who, like MT. Daughtrey, was a stock broker, until recently. He was the secretary treasurer of the Hermosa Lead and Zinc company, which has been devel- oping a property in the Hassayampa district, about six miles southwest of this city. Through the solicitations of MT. Acker, the Florida man took an option on 100000 shares of stock at a specified price, the net pro- eeeds of which were to be used in financing the company. According to the statement made last night by Mr Daughtrey, he was not acting as the agent of the Hermosa company. He had an option to buy a certain quantity of shares at an agreed price. and he disposed of such stock as he could to his clients at his own price. This was sold on time, 10 per cent down and 10 per cent per month until the full amount was paid. Such stock as ne bought from the com pany, he says, came through the bank with sight draft attached. This stock was delivered to customers who paid for it in full The majority of buyers were paying for the stock on the installment plan, and it ap- pears that MT. Acker contended that these partial payments should be sent to the company, and because this was not done, ne conceived the idea that Daughtrey was appropri ating this money. It was then that he sent letters to such buyers whose names he had gained possession of, and advised some of them that Mir. Daughtrey was "an embezzler of Hermosa funds to the extent of sev- eral thousand dollars.
 To another party ne wrote "We believe that he is figuring on skip ping the country" and in one let ter he wrote: "We will have print ed a circular giving full information of his dealings and embezzlement and we will take proper action to send him where embezzlers of his class reside.'
 These alleged libelous letters were written in January of this year, and Mr. Daughtrey states he was urged by his friends to come to Arizona and take action so as to remove the cloud that had been cast upon hIs reputation. Owing to sickness in his family and in his office force, ne states that he was unable to come here for the spring term of court, but that he is now here solely for that purpose.
