CONVICT SENDS QUILT
 10 MARSHAL MOORE
Says It Took Him Four Months to
 Make It and Seeks Customer.

Somewhere. sometime William Smith, No. 2, a convict in the Mon tana state prison at Deer Lodge, Mont. has heard of or met Marshal Moore of this city. Recently the marshal re- ceived long letter from Smith, in which he set forth the fact that he had just completed a handsome silk quilt which was a work of art and which he hoped the marshal would help him to dispose of.
 While Marshal Moore hasn't the slightest idea of where he met William Smith, if meet him he did, he wrote the man that he would see what he could do for him in the matter of find ing a purchaser for his work. That a convict or any other man should un- dertake to make a quilt seemed to the marshal quite unique and he told Smith to send it along.
 The quilt arrived yesterday careful ly wrapped in tissue paper and packed in box. When the marshal unpacked the quilt and exposed it to view, it was found to be indeed a work of art. It was all of silk pieces, cleverly fitted and carefully sewed by hand There were handsome roses and forget-me- nots prettily worked with silk, that would have done credit to the handi- work of a woman's delicate fingers. The colorings were exquisite, blending beautifully. The lining is of baby blue satin and the quilting is almost perfect.
 In his letter to the marshal, Smith says:
 q suppose you will want to know what I expect to realize on the quilt. so I will put the value at $75. The ma terial in it cost me $50 and l put in ] four months tedious labor on it. All who have seen it so far consider it a very unique piece of work and I hope i you think so too. l am making a | handsome hand carved walking stick which I will present to you for youl kindness as soon as completed" | Marshal Moore has the quilt on ex- | hibition at his office and would be glad to receive bids on it. It is certainly
 one of the handsomest works of art ev.
 CT seen in Phoenix.

RAVENOUS WOLVES
 PURSUE PROsPECTOR
They Left Nothing But the Bones of
 Unknown Miner.

Seward. Alaska, Sept. S.-Alonzo Wells. a prospector who was pur- sued for days by a pack of gray wolves in the Susitna river country, north of Cook Inlet, tells a horrible story of the fate that overlook a brother miner who was run down by the beasts Wells departed from Knill on Knik Arm, August l to join his brother. Frank Wells, at their mining claims on Iron Creek in the Talkeentna range.
 When out four days Wells fell in with the wolves which dared not at tack him because he was armed yet and constantly kept him company until he reached his destination At night Wells would climb a tree and lash himself to the trunk in order to sleep while the wolves waited below.
 At one point on the journey he heard a man shrieking for help, and making his way to the place, whence the sounds came he found a miner S pack. shreds of clothing, gnawed bones and other evidences that the ravenous beasts had made a meal of the miner. There was nothing in the pack to reveal the name of the man.

THE DEVIOUS COURSE
 OF \ GRAFT FUND
Which Found Its Way Into Pockets
 of Albany Legislature.

New York, Sept. S.-An effort to trace the Metropolitan Street Rail- way cash through the hands of the brokerage firm of Ellingwood x Gun ningham to the accounts of the vari- ous members of the legislature of 1900 will engage the time today of the legislative probers into the alleged graft in connection with the legisla- ton at Albany.
 George Carpenter, formerly book keeper for the defunct firm, was on the stand yesterday and today. He has already told the committee many interesting things, including state ment that H. P. Vreeland, president of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, had in April, 1909, given the firm a check for $5,000, of which amount, according to Carpenters s reading from the firms books, the account of Louis Bedell, then chair man of the committee on railroads of the state assembly, had been cred ited with $2.375. The balance, he said. had gone in nearly equal parts to the accounts of former Senators Goodsell and c. T. Rogers.
 Other books which ,have been asked for have not been produced and the committee may take drastic measures to get them.

HILL CAME HOME ID

Supervising Engineer Is Doing Some
 Hot Weather Travelling.

Engineer l.. c. Hill returned home yesterday afternoon from a little ex- cursion undertaken August 1st and which has led him to describe a circle about 500 miles in diameter, of which Phoenix is a little to one side of the center He went to the coast and took it easy for a few days. then took up the trail through the north ern part of his jurisdiction, visited Strawberry valley and other places, and. travelling via Denver, went down through New Mexico to Fl Paso and back to Phoenix.
 MT. Hill said last evening that there was nothing in connection with his travels of any special local interest. He had merely visited the various projects over which he has supervis- ion to note the progress of events. He will go to Roosevelt on Saturday, returning Sunday, and on Monday will leave again for another tour. He will stop first at Yuma and then go to Strawberry valley, where he eX- poets to meet the board of army en- gineers who are inspecting all the reclamation projects, on September Is. He will probably be with them most of the time thereafter until they reach this valley.
 Just when the army board will ar rive here has not been announced. and MT Hill does not know definitely, but says it will be in the early days of October The board left Wash ington about August 1st. and has been in the field ever since.

WHAT HON. M. 4. SMITH
 SAID AT LOS ANGELES
OF EFFECT OF DIRECT LEGIS.
 LAYTON
On Statehood Chances Is Not Denied
 By Him.

By means of lying and conspicu- ous headlines over an interview with Hon. Marcus A. Smith last night, the Arizona Gazette tried foolishly as usual to discredit the publication by The Republican of a statement that MT. Smith last Friday in Los Ange les, told F. S Dunlevy, clerk of the district court and w. J. kinSsbury of Tempe, that the people at Wash ington" he knew would disapprove d constitution containing the initiative, the referendum and the recall.
 In the interview printed in the Gazette, below the lying headlines there is no denial by Mir. Smith tha, he did make such statement to Messrs Dunlevy and Kingsbury In fact Mir. Smith does not refer in any way to the conversation at Los Angeles.
 On the contrary the interview con veys an impression of the danger which he told Messrs Dunlevy and Kingsbury confronted Arizona.
 It was not stated in The Repub- lican's report of that conversation that MT. Smith had opposed the principle of direct legislation. In fact it was expressly stated that that was not discussed by him at all in his talk with Messrs Dunlevy and Kings bury. The Republican further stated that previous to this conversation. MT. Smith had sent to the Arizona Democrat a telegram in which he Ia nrnnGan tn 10 in itiative etc. He only talked to Messrs Dunlevy and Kingsbury of the fatal effect of direct legislation on state hood MT. smith talked also at Los Angeles to many other Arizonians, democrats and republicans of the certainty of congressional disapproval of an Arizona constitution with a provision for direct legislation in it.. Said he. ''I know those people ir Washington"
 In a paragraph preceding the in terview, the Gazette makes the state ment that MT. Smith was misunder- stood or misquoted but nowhere in the interview does Mir Smith say that he was misunderstood or mis- quoted as to the conversation men tioned by The Republican. Nor does he say that in another interview published by the Arizona Democrat last night.
 Mir Smith states in both inter views that he is for the democratic ticket, if the democrats want the initiative. referendum and recall in the constitution. they should put them there. He expresses a belief that the people of Arizona will vote the constitution down if they are not there Feeling that Washington will turn the constitution down if they are there, It appears to Mir. Smith that the prospect is not bright with hope.

 The fight for the insertion of the name of President Taft started origin ally at a meeting of the state conser- Vation commissioners. At this meet ing Henry Hardtner of Louisiana de- clared that the conservation principles favored by the congress were no more those of Roosevelt that of Taft. He asserted with much heat that the con gress was much less a conservation congress than a straight political meet ing, the business of which seemed to be to eXalt Roosevelt at the expense of Taft.
 The state commissioners thereupon voted to demand that Tafts Eame be mentioned the same as that of his predecessor When it was not done it was declared that the fight would be carried to the congress.
 MT Pardee and MT. Short, represent ing California power companies, clashed during the session of the com mittee Chairman Purdee surren- dering his chair and advancing to Judge short, he shook his finger at the latter and said:
 You've had your say about state control I want to tell you that no man. even though he be from Fresno, and six feet tall, can get away with bluff and I am going to call you Some people who live in California have cried for state rights dishonest ly and I don't mean that for any gen tleman in this room.

THE BANQUET.

Chicago, Sept. S.-COlOneI Theodore Roosevelt was the guest of honor to- night at an elaborate banquet given by members of the Hamilton club of Chicago at o'clock at the Con- gress hotel. He was greeted by an assemblage of HOO diners, among whom were several United States senators, governors of states, other notables. Hundreds of people who had been unable to obtain seats at the banquet thronged the corridors of the hotel and the balcony of the gold room. in which Colonel Roosevelt spoke, waiting for a chance to hear or see the former president.
 Governor Charles $. Deneen deliv- cred a eulogistic address welcoming Roosevelt to Illinois and Chicago. John H. Patten, president of the Hamilton club, introduced the clubs chief guest to the expectant diners. Among fifty men seated at the speak CTS table were Joseph c. Cannon. speaker of the house of representa- tives; Charles w. Fairbanks. former vice-president; Albert J. Beveridge. Robert J. Gamble. members of the senate; Governors Deneen, Stubbs of Kansas and Vesey of South Dakota. and James R. Garfield.
 Congressman Nicholas LOngworth. Colonel Roosevelts son-in-law. and Senators Burrows and Smith of Mich igan. were also near the speakers stand.
 The members of the Hamilton club planned to make the banquet not alone a big event. say. for Chicago. but if possible a big event in ROOse- velt's western trip. The demand for seats was so great that the original plan to limit the diners to 500. who could be seated in the gold room. was abandoned. It was then ar twice that number by using a sec Ond banquet hall at the hotel.
 As Roosevelt's special train was a half hour late at FreepOrt, H.. a slight delay occurred in the opening formalities of the banquet. but there was no sign of impatience in the large thrOng of guests. Following the banquet, Roosevelt was escorted to the reception room in the large EIizabethan room of the hotel. which had been transformed into a repre- sentation of an African jungle. Hun dreds who had been unable to secure seats at the banquet board were ad- mitted to the long line of guests at the reception. which did not termi- nate until shortly before the Roose- welt party was able to take the train for Cincinnati

Chicago, Sept. S.-TheodOre ROOSe- welt today barred William LOrimer, the junior United States senator from Illinois. from the banquet at Congress hotel by refusing to sit at the same table
 The occurrence startled politicians here and over the country. The un- precedented innovation of denying to one of it's members the privilege of attending it's own banquet came with abruptness from the colonel The Hamilton club delegation, headed by former Judge John J. Patten, joined Colonel Roosevelt at the fair grounds at Freeport The colonel shook hands heartily with each. and at once began questioning them concerning the ban quet.
 .'Is Speaker Cannon to be there?' he asked.
 Yes" MT. Patten replied. He has accepted an invitation"
 How about Senator LOrimer? he asked.
 Senator Lorimer is a member of the club he was told, and has ac- cepted an invitation to the dinner.
 "Then r must decline to go," said Roosevelt. adding that he would feel the same about the presence of Sena-

The Griffis Barbecue.

Mr.. J. J. Grifis gave his fourth
annual barbecue Friday last. The
attendance was very large, Edge
ield, Cleora, Rehoboth, Kirksey,
Pleasant Lane and other adjoining
communities being represented. The
order was perfect throughout the
Law. While the older people were
talking crops and politics, some
young people were dancing, and
others engaged in tete-a-tetes out IN
baggies.
Very sweet music was supplied
by the neighborhood band, the
members and Instruments being,
Miss Mollie BYRD, the guitar; Evan
.GriAis, violin; WILLIAM Byrd, bass
violin; Joseph CARTRIDGE, autoharp.
Miss Milbray Dorm, Miss Mary En-
ma Byrd and Luther Byrd relieved
the other musicians a part OF the
time.
ALL that need be SAID or tne dln-
ner is that it was prepared by Jack
Whatley and Bob Griffis, two yete-
ran cooks who stand on the top
round of the ladder. We heard
many remarks complimentary of the
seasoning and the very excellent
manner in which the meats were
served. Despite the very large at
tendance there was an abundance
for everybody.
If the crowds continue to grow
from year to year, our friend Jack
Grifis will have to enlarge every
thing except the beautiful grove
1t is large enough to accommodate
several regiments.
