Doctors Surprising Testimony in the
 NeilI- Woods Case.

Ex- Ranger Wood took the stand in his own defense. was subjected to over two hours close cross- examination during which he faced the jury and answered all questions in a self possessed man ner
 He, like Defendant Neill. disclaimed all knowledge of the Schwartz mur der. but admitted taking part in the hazing of Stevens. the aged detectives assistant
 The defense sprang complete sur prise in calling Dr. Adams. the county health officer, to the stand. pr. Adams created a sensation by testify ing that the skull being exhibited as that of schwartz was. in his opinion. that of a younger man. and he gave several reasons to snbstantiate his tes- timony.
 It is evident from the evidence sub mitted that the defense is endeavoring to prove an alibi. Nearly all the testi- moDy is now in and it is expected that the case will ga tn the jury early on Monday.

 Although the general elections were held today in France. Colonel Roosevelt did not visit the voting booths, saying he had not time to investigate matters that did not concern him directly.

PHYSICAL CULTURE SHOW
 BY PROFESSOR JEffR|ts
He Begins to Come Up to the Expecta-
 tiOns of Berger.

Ben Lomond, April 24--In the presence of a crowd of critical fight followers. Jeffries gave a physical cul- ture exhibition which more than sat isfied his visitors today.
 Jeffries' condition. compared with his physical trim when he began train- ing. shows remarkable improvement and for the first time today he frolicked in the gymnasium with his old time exuberance. The mornings workout consisted of a session with the chest weights. followed by fast mix-up with the medicine ball and the punch ing bag. and led up to a boxing bout by a preliminary exhibition of shadow boxing. finishing with three fast rounds with Armstrong and two more of roughing with Farmer Burns. The boxing was. of course, the special event of the work out and took place at noon in the handball court, which is hotter than a Turkish bath.
 JtllTicS pidyCO Nitn SidiSuCc Dctis after work. frisking about like a coy young hippopotamus. apparently not the least fatigued by his gymnasium work or the ten-mile run in the early morning.
 Berry was so we'll pleased with Jeffs showing that he declared that he was
 = willing to increase his bets to $25,000. Berger has not hesitated to say in the past that the big fighters work lacked fire and ginger. but this morning he declared that he was satisfied.
 Rickard requested Berger to go to San Francisco a week from today, when the promoter proposes to post an additional s3o.O00 of the purse money. Rickard then would have posted $50.- 900 of the amount to go to the fight CTS The remaining $51.00O will not be due until forty eight hours before the contest.

Charged technically with no more serious orfense than parading in fem name Of Harry Claibourne. was ar rested at Maricopa yesterday by Inn migration inspector Cronin and Dep uty Sheriff W. A. Riley of Yuma, and brought to Phoenix last night, being held here on suspicion that he is one of the TWO men who. on the Sth Of the month. murdered David Brooks a plain clothes policeman in Los Angeles The suspicion Of the blance to the description sent 10 the officers in the southwest or the wanted criminals. and on the further fact that Claibourne seems more ner- vous than most men would be under so simple a charge as that Of mas s,nerading. Moreover, it is hard to conceive what humor would cause a man to adopt such a disguise for making d rail journey across the Ari- zona deserts. unless he had some graver reason than the mere fun of the thing.
 Deputy Riley was in Maricopa en route to Phoenix with Francisco Mar auez. uho will be taken to the Flor
 n which appears elsewhere in this pa per. He was approached by lnspec- tor Cronin. who told him he had been informed that q man had been seen around the depot attired in wo- mans clothes. Together they made A search for him and little distance from the pump house they saw Ciai- bourne emerge from behind a bush with a grip in his hand and aceosted him. asking him where the womans clothes were that he had just taken off. He denied the fact at first. then rrled the friendly jolly an .dadmitted that he had the clothes in his grip. but hoped they would not make him any trouble as he was only having little fun.
 Nevertheless. the serious manner of the officers was not melted by the familiarity of claibourne. and he ob- served it. He said: You think I'm q crook. but I'm not" They intimated that he had quite closely defined their conviction. and he wanted to leave ,he matter to Judge Williams. who was near by The latter refused 10 commit himself to the suspect, who was arrested and brought on 10 Phoenix. In the conversation that en- sued Claibourne sad he was 1d years old. but he appears little oloer' though he has no beardl and evidently has shaved but little. He says ms home is in Wichita. Kas. An in- spection of the grip brought to light a corset, a complete set of up-to- date ladies' hair, q skift, stockings pair of oxford tie shoes and various and sundry other articles of woman necessity, including some delicate tints for his otherwise somewhat sal low cheeks He told the men that he had been working in Yuma for the last six weeks, boarding at section house near there and had bought his o.tlt from the woman with whom he boarded. Deputy Riley told him that Yuma was his home and he knew he twas lying for he could not sccii,'e such q disguise in the place he had indicated More over he couldn't name anybody whose acquaintance he had made in those parts in all that six weeks and other stories that he told in explananon only got him deeper in perplexity.

Big Shanty Local, No. 1898, passed
the following resolution at its last reg

whereas The farmers are the main
producers of the wealth of the country
and that the products of the farm are
gambled in by the exchanges of this
country to the detriment of the pro-
ducers as we'll as the consumers,
Therefore, Be it resolved by Big

U, of America, that we eDtreat our
senators and congressman to vote for
such laws as will stop gambling in
futures on farm products and to exert
their influence to have such laws

WORK IS PROGRESSING
ON new WATERWORKS
Laying of Mains is Being
Pushed; Sewer System
Nearly Completed.

The laying of water and sewer pipes
over the streets of the city is progress
ing as rapidly as this February wealth
er will permit.
The contractors having in charge
the laying of the sewers completed
the original contract undertaken by
them some days ago, which amounted
to approximately twelve miles. Since
then contract for an additional two
miles has been added, and about one
half of this work has been finished.
So, it is only a matter of a few days
until Marietta will possess a splendid
system of sewerage, which will be used
as soon as her new waterworks system
can be completed.
The work of laying the water mains
is being pushed right along, and will,
with few weeks of open weather, be
ready to have the clear and sparkling
water from Blackjack mountain turned
into them.
All parties connected with the inau-
guration of these public utilities are
to be congratulated on the progress
made since their construction was de.
termined upon and authorized by the
city government.
