 Phoenix and the Salt River valley want men. Men of energy and stick to-it-tiveness. Men of the type that came into the west in the days when this section was a great, unknown territory, blazed the trails, opened up Natures treasure houses and made the barren soil blossom like the rose garden of the east Men not afraid to do and to dare. Men in every sense of the word.
 It has been said that Arizona is an empire within herself; that walled-in from the outside world, she would go on prOspering and waxing stronger with each succeeding generation In a sense this is literally true, for here is to be found everything necessary for the maintenance of life and hap piness.
 Her mineral wealth is illimitless, her agricultural possibilities bewilder- ing. Nature has been kind to Phoe- nix and the Salt River valley in more ways than one. She has endowed this section. with virgin soil teeming with fertility and awaiting only the touch of the waters and the scratch of the blow to make it spring into life and wealth producing verdure.
 This valley has been and still is destined to be the land of promise for many a weary, heartsick farmer from the east and middle west, born and reared in the section where one crop, and a meager one, is all the earth is expected to give forth in a season, and where hope and an un- certain rainfall go hand in hand in determining the years soil output, and in filling or leaving bare the granaries of those sections. Rainfall the world over is but a tickle quantity and mans will and energy is cfrcum scribed by the end attained by his efforts.
 In the Salt River valley, with its even distribution of moisture, thanks to the Roosevelt dam and other great

When the polls for a special cleo
tion being held in the city today for
the purpose of determining whether
the city shall purchase the water
plant of the Salem Water company
were thrown open to the voters this
morning the election judges found
themselves confronted with a large
number of voters who were not reg
istered at the last city election, and
as to entitle them to vote 1t became
necessary for them to subscribe TO
Blank A, It Is causing the judges and
electors an immense amount of trou-
BILE, and the result will be that there
will be a large per cent Of the voters
who will fail to cast their ballots at
the election.
There is no provision In the state
law for the city opening registration
books at special elections, and 80
none were opened for this one. City
Attorney Corby held that any one
who had been resident in the city
for 80 days and was registered at
the last city election or with the
county clerk was entitled TO vote
AS there are many who were not reg
istered at the last city election, but
who were registered with the coun-
ty clerk, trouble bobbed up when the
county clerk found himself unable
under the law to turn the poll books
of the county over 10 the judges OF

were crowded with Sunday throngs
The Avenue Des Nations was jammed
with holiday sight-seers. The Brux-
elles Kiermesse resembled the packed
streets of an American seacoast sum-
mer resort near some big city.
The fire started from crossed elec-
trio wires in the Telegraph building.
Soon the flimsy structure was ablaze
and firemen, fighting desperately
were unable to stay the flames. The
French and English buildings, fairy
palaces of lath and stucco, offered
food for the fire, which famed by a
high wind, gained headway rapidly.
Police reserves and then troops
from the city garrisons were hurried
to the grounds to herd the panic
stricken people to safety. In the

the election. The city attorney how
ever, held that those registered with
the county clerk could vote by sub
scribing to Blank A. This, however,
requires the voter TO be identified by
six free holders, and some found
themselves unable to comply with
the requirement, and many others
declined to comply with It and
walked away from the polls disgust
ed and disappointed.
Another interesting question
which has arisen with relation to the
election is the question whether
two-thirds or a majority vote is re-
quired 10 make It legal There are
those who contend that as the ques-
tion TO be voted on involves the IN
debtedness OF the city a two-third
vote is required and only property
holders and tax payers are entitled
TO vote. The city attorney holds
that a majority vote is sufficient and
that any one residing in the city for
80 days is entitled to vote. Those
advocating the former view are con-
fident of their position and should
the question be carried at the polls,
the election is certain to be con-
tested.
The voting during the day has
been brisk, Both those favorlng the
purchase OF the plant and those op-
posed TO 1t are laboring hard and
while both claim the election, It Is
conceded that the vote viii be close.

EX-DISTRICT ATTORNEY
EXPRESSES ADMIRATION
FOR ATTORNEY LEOBETTER
Also Tesfies that He Was Removed From Office and IS
Minutes Later ReinStaed BY Telegraph, But In That Time
His Successor Had ouaShed the Indictments Against Nc
Murray Mansfield and Cornish = Somewhat Sarcastic
About Ledbetter

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 15.-Former
District Attorney w. B. Johnson,
who entered a protest when the in
dictments against Mansfield, McMur-
ray and Cornish were quashed and
who was dismissed from office for
this action and reinstated 10 min
utes later, was called before the
congressional investigating commit
tee today.
'During the eight years that was
United States district attorney,
5000 indictments were returned in
my court and only one was investi-
gated" Johnson testified. "That
one was against McMurray, Mansfield
and Cornish. I was called to Wash
ington in August, 1905. Assistant
AttOrney-G General Russell was kept
busy writing for nine days for Nc
Murray to appear. There were threc
hearings. Cecil Lyon, of Texas, was
present at all of them"
Johnson testified that Lyon ex.
planned his presence in Washington
at that time by saying, "They KEPT
wiring me to come"
Lyon, Johnson testified, declared
he was not interested in the matter
personally.
II protested against quashing the
indictments, he said, "and after ]

first rush for the exits, following the
alarm, most of the casualties oc-
Cured. Frantic men trampled wo-
men and children in a mad effort to
save their lives.
The flames reached the Kirmesse
before all the crowd had left the en-
closure and with the roar of the fire
in their ears, men and women fought
to escape. Individual acts of bravery
were lost in the seething crowds that
sought to pass en- masse through the
gates. The arrival of the gendarmes
and soldiers saved many lives in the
exposition "Coney island"
Soon the French and English build
ings were in flames and the fire
leaped to the Avenue Des Nations,
licking up the fragile buildings that
housed the exhibits of foreign
nations.
The exposition practically was
destroyed and many pavilions outside
the exposition also were burned.
Hardly had the flames died down
before looters were at work. AS soon
as the troops arrived they were
thrown about the exposition. 1t is
reported, however, that considerable
looting went on before these precau-
tions were taken. A diamond collec-
ton worth 100000, is said to have
been stolen and several smaller
thefts were reported to the author

SAYS OUT OF 5000 INDICTMENTS
that ONLY ONE WAS ACTED upon

The Sun suggests the possibility
that Mrs. Charlton was the woman
referred to in Eastmans letter as
having killed Mrs. Woodill with Z
champagne bottle.
It is stated that the residents of
Talbot county, Maryland, recognized
pictures of Charlton and his wife as
those OF the couple seen with East
man before Mrs. Woodill was mur-
dered.
Persons protesting to have seen
the party at the bungalow say that
the pictures published of Charlton s
wife and of Porter Charlton were
those of the man and woman seen
at Eastman's bungalow" says The
Sun.
Charlton worked for the National
City Bank here in June, 1909. The
Sun continues:
"It is possible that he may have
left here and gone to st. Michael's,
where he met his future wife. Charl-
ton visited St. Michael's four or five
times and liked the place"
The bank records show that Charl-
ton was not absent from duty any
business day in June, 1909. Mrs,
Woodill was murdered June 21.
Eastman shot and killed himself
shortly afterward while being pur-
sued by deputy sheriffs.
The Sun recounts the riotous
scenes at the bungalow as described
by neighbors and refuses to question
the temper of Mrs. Charlton and the
fact that she drank heavily.
The coroner's jury returned a
verdict that an unknown person
killed Mrs. Woodill, ignoring cir
cumstantial evidence that indicated
that Eastman was the slayer. Many
persons still believe Eastman was in
nocent of the woman's death and at
tribute his suicide to the fact that he
was a fugitive from justice and
feared to face trial and have his past
life exposed.
1t was supposed that there were
two men in the bungalow besides
Eastman when mrs. Woodill was
struck down. The identity of the
second man is not known. 1t was

service. Fifteen minutes later an
other telegram reinstating me, was
received, but my successor had dis
missed the indictments"
G. w. Ledbetter, an attorney,
showed him a check for $4,000
signed by McMurray, Johnson testi-
fed.
johnson said he remarked to Led
better that the $4,000 was nice
fee.
"That isn't all; have some good
contracts" Ledbetter replied, ac-
cording to Johnson. ''Ledbetter
stood we'll with the administration" :"
"Is it important to stand we'll with
the administration when cases are
tried7" Chairman Burke asked.
"I wouldn't say that" Johnson
replied, "but IL were In McMurr
rays place, there is. no attorney I
would rather have than Ledbetter."
Holmes Willis, Chickasaw, told
the committee why the Indians em-
ployed McMurray to aid them. He
scored the government for bungling
in Indian affairs.
"a CRATER is a man who steals
without violating the law" he said.
