game is denied by the appellant. ft
 is contended that the game itself was not in violation -of. the law; that is. that the low does not forbid men meeting for a game and therefore that Schmidt was guilty of no of fense in permitting them to meet in room controlled by him. Mir. Neale. brought to the attention of the court the history of the present anti gambling law which was made to take the place of the Duffy law. passed earlier in the session, and against which such ciamor arose that it was repealed by another law intend ed only to abolish professional gam bling.
 Schmidt was convicted late in De- cember. and within little more than a week the appeal was perfected. There was filed yesterday an ap- plication for bail which had been de- nied by the lower court The court will pass upon that application to- day though a decision in the case itself will probably not be handed down before the next meeting of the court.

PHOENIX AND TEMPE z PLAY BALL SATURDAY
Coyotes Declare They Are Going to Win This Game and Get Right
 With the Percentage Column.

Next Saturday at Eastlake park the Phoenix high school team will meet that from the Tempe high school on the baseball diamond. This will be the first game here between the high school team and the one from the south side and it is expected that the local boys will clear their record and change the program from losing to winning team.
 It would seem that the Coyotes had started off on the wrong foot for the only two league series games played have been lost by them. Professor Jones. coach of the nine. says that unless he is badly mistaken next Sat urday's game will start the boys on the winning side of the question. The first game played by the Coyotes was lost through errors on third base and behind the bat but this the coach says has been remedied by shifting the players in the infield. The second game was played in a drizzling rain and with all the players feeling blue. The boys though do not excuse them selves in this way but have been prac- ticing with good will and areNconfident of winning the next game or at least of putting up better show than they have heretofore this season.
 In addition to a good baseball. game there will be a basketball game be- tween the Phoenix high school team and the girls from the Mesa high school This will also be the first meeting of the two opposing teams and the outcome is doubtful
 With a double attraction and the price of admission only 35 cents and an extra charge for the grand stand it is expected that a large crowd will witness the game.

BISBEE SCHOOL BONDS
 IN SUPREME COURT
AN APPEAL FROM JUDGMENT OF
 THEIR INvALiDfTY.
Arguments Were Also Heard in the
 Schmidt Gambling Case

The very Interesting case of C. w Hicks. treasurer of Cochise county appellant. against J. C. Krigbaum appellee. involving the validity oi , the law under which the Bisbee schoo district voted to bond itself for the
 building of high school and for improvements on the ward schools was heard in supreme court yester- day. argument for the appellee being made by J. M. O'Connell. The amount of the bond issue was s92.000. Krigbaum representing him self and other dissenting citizens and taxpayers brought an action to en- join the treasurer against the is suance of the bonds. It was the contention of the petitioners that the law under which the election had been held was too broad; that it was beyond the limits of the organic act and conferred the power of voting upon persons who are not allowed to vote under the organic act. The law provides that taxpayers" may vote at such elections and it. was contended that that threw the polls open to women. minors. residents and even to persons who are not cit izens of the United States.
 This view of the case was sustained by the lower court and the treasurer was enjoined from the issuance of the bonds.
 The doctrine of the appellee is not a new one. Several years ago there was a bond election in Tue son for the purpose of constructing municipal system of water works. The bonds carried and injunction proceedings were begun by Andrew Cronley, the manager of the Tucson Water company. to prevent the is suance of the bonds. In that case the same invalidity of the law was alleged as in this case and the courts decided that the proceedings under the law were invalid.
 The Schmidt gambling case. also from Cochise county was presented by George Neale. attorney for Frank Schmidt, who is now serving a four months term in the jail at Tombstone. having been convicted of violating the anti gambling act of the last legislature.
 Schmidt is the proprietor of a saloon called the White House. at Lowell Connected with the saloon was a room in which coterie of Douglas sports met to while away the time at poker.
 Schmidt was indicted under section ? of the anti-gambling act oa the theory that he was the proprietor. owner. or part owner. lessee or manager of a gambling house or of place where gambling was carried on. and not as the dealer or owner of the game, against whom section of the statute is aimed at.

him and tried to strike him. Then says Johnson. when l seen he was goin' to lick me sure, An stoops ovah to pick up two-by- fo' to hit him wifi. Ed he jus reach back and flash his gun which he wears on his ief' side heels and hadn't run fah befo' he pinked me in de leg"
 Johnson says that three shots were fired. He thinks the second shot was the one that hit him, for he felt the sting of the bullet. At that time he thinks he was forty feet away. He then ran around the house and fell over the stone pile. The police were called and Captain Connors and Sul- livan soon found Johnson holding his wounded leg over the stone pile. They started to hunt for the man who did the shooting. The colored family in the house were eating supper at the time of the shooting and were so frightened that they. did not open the door
 The bullet struck Johnson in front. about half way between the knee and the thigh. He was unable to explain how it was that he was shot in front when he asserts that he was running away at the time. He says that Col lins sent the last bullet after him when he had fallen over the stone pile He was attended by pr. Beau champ and then made comfortable in the city jail.
 Both the city police and the off cers connected with the sheriff's of flee are hunting for Collins, who is generally thought to be a dangerous man, though little is Known of him.
 Collins came here about six weeks ago from Oklahoma City and claims Shreveport. La. as his home. He is described as about 90 years of age. five feet eleven inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds. He is very black and shutters when he talks: so much so that at times he can hardly make himself understood.
 He wore blue checked pants. blue jumper. light blue chambray shirt and a cap He is said to have been work ing on the Parker cutoff week ago. and came here about that time. He was employed here as a hot carrier on one of the new buildings.

PISTOL PRACTICE ENDS
 NEGRO ALTERCATlON
ONE SHOT soREs HOLE IN JOHN
 SONS LEG.
Collins, Who Did the Shooting, Has
 Not Been Captured.

An altercation last night between F. NJ. Johnson and Ed. Collins, both col ored, started in a jag that Johnson brought home with him. and ended in a shooting fray in which three shots from a large calibre revolver were fired at Johnson by Collins. one of which inflicted a serious wound in the leg, shattering the bone. When John son was shot he fell over stone pile and was easily captured. but Collins is still at large.
 The two men occupied a shack at 235 South Third street with colored family Johnson came down from Winkelman last Wednesday and went to live with Collins. whom he had known few weeks. Collins was formerly employed on the Parker grade. About o'clock last night Johnson appeared at the house very intoxicated. He was sleepy and want ed to lie down on Coilins's bed. Col lins ordered him to get out and tine two began an argument which termi- mated in Johnson's departure with the alleged insults ranking within him. He Ndlhtu uoMn tue Slfttt lDchiDS IOf sympathy.
 Johnson had not gone very far be- fore he met a man whom he knew slightly whom he calls Harry" though isn't sure if that is his name. Harry is a cOlored laborer and John, son confided in him and told him how Collins had wronged him and thrown him out in the cold. The two decided to return and face Collins The lat ter is large. husky negro. but John son said he wasn't afraid of him.
 When they came to the door of the house Collins opened it It was just growing dark and he saw Harry first He immediately asked. Where is Ho- boz" Hobo is the name which had been given Johnson on account of past experience as a tramp.

La TOILETTE SCORES MORGAN
SENATOR CALLS FINANcIER
"THIcK.NEcKED BULLY"
Wisconsin Man in Attack on Taft's
Rail Bill Also criticizes Attor-
ney General.

Washington. Characterizing J.
Pierpont Morgan as "a beefy. red
faced, thick-necked financial bully,
drunk with wealth and power, who
bawls his orders to stock markets, d.
rectors, courts, governments and ma
tions," Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin Tuesday opened bitter attack
on the administration railroad bill in
the senate. He also criticised Attor-
ney General Wickersham.
The Wisconsin member criticised
the bill as opening the way for unre-
stricted consolidation of lines and
cited the case of the Boston & Maine
merger with the New Haven as an
illustration Of the possibilities of the
act under the present administration.
Charging the attorney general with
undue haste in discontinuing the suit
begun by the Roosevelt administration
against these roads, he declared that,
judging by what that official did in
that case. 1t was not a violent as
sumption to state that If the pending
bill had been a law 'he would have
entered into stipulation with the
New Haven road that the roads pro-
posed to be acquired were not directly
and substantially competitive; that on
such stipulation judgment would have
been rendered by the court of COM
merce in accordance with the stipula-
ton. thereby estopping the govern
ment forever from making any claim
that such acquisitions were in viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust act"
Senator La Toilette declared that
every proper effort had been made by
the Roosevelt administration to prose-
cute the merger suit against the two
companies, and expressed indignation
at Attorney General Wickersham's
prompt dismissal of the case within
three months after he came into Office.

ARMSTRONG COMPANY is HIT
insurance Aetuary Charges Nearly
100000 Is Missing From Treas
urS of Casualty Concern.

Charleston, w. Va.-That the active
managers of the Consolidated Casual
Il company before its reorganization
here this week, under direction of the
insurance department of West Vir-
ginia, collected $757,114 in one year
and nine months, of which only $751;
637 remains, and that they made false
entries on the books of the company
and false returns to the insurance
department of the state, are charges
in the report of John F. Roche of New
York, consulting actuary to the insur-
ance department, made public Friday.
The actuary found that the entire
management of the company was in
the hands of Robert B. Armstrong of
Chicago, president; C. II. Burras, vice
president, and A. 8, Mitchell, secre-
tary and treasurer, as officers, and of
Armstrong, BuTTas and Mitchell D.
Follansbee as the executive commit
tee.
The actuary's report states that the
condition of the company's books was
such that a correct audit is almost i'm
possible. Among irregularities charged
are cancellation of stock issued, a col
lection of partial payments for which
nothing was issued. and the issuing Of
stock which was not paid for. The
actuary recites that President Arm
strong drew salary of $1,000 per
month. June 80. 1909," the report
says, "it was discovered that he (Arm.
strong) had overdrawn his salary
$2,312." Subsequently this "overdraft
of salary was charged to miscellaneous
expenses"
