TURNER TO

Work as Chief Counsel in !.
Fisheries Dispute.

men-Turner Selected

roRMER United States Senator
George Turner will leave Mon.

c., for final conference with
President Taft and Attorney GEN
erai Wickersham before sailing for
The Hague to act az chief counsel
for the United States In the New.
foundland fisheries dispute to be
adjudicated by that body next May.
Judge Turner was retained as
counsel in chief for the government
under President Roosevelt, and his
employment continued under Presi-
dent Taft. He has been engaged
on the case for nearly a,year and q
half and will be prepared to pres
sent the claims of the government
from every point Of view. His re-
searches in the files of the case
have brought him in contact with
the work of Daniel Webster and
other noted legal lights and states
tury, who wrestled with the fish
cries dispute without being able to
finally settle it.
Senator Turner will sail in April
and probably devote the whole
summer to the presentation of the
case to The Hague court. The dis
pute is not in the making of a
treaty, but in the construction to be
placed on portions of one already
made. The Newfoundland fisher.
les treaty was made with England
In 1918, and was the outgrowth OF
the victories achieved by America
in the war of 1912. The treaty, after
a few years operation, was found
to be unsatisfactory to both parties
and 5 years have been consumed In
trying to amend 1t.
The process of forming an agree
ment to submit it to the arbitration
court. and the consequent legisla.
tion by congress to approve such
settlement. has required several
years alone, but now the question
seems in fair way to be finally
and amicably adjusted.
Senator Turner was member Of
the American commission that
framed the treaty over the Alaskan
boundary. His selection as chief
Of counsel in the fisheries contro-
versy was made by President
Roosevelt on the recommendation
OF Elihu Root, then In the cabinet,
who was personally acquainted with
the Spokane jurist's legal attain
ments.

masked robbers held up Missouri

the passengers OF several hundred
dollars. One man was relieved of
$S2 and another lost big roll OF

of all the cash in his possession.
The trio boarded the train at
Pittsburg and as soon as the train
pulled out into open country they
retired into the mems room When
they emerged they wore handker,
chiefs over their faces and carried
revolvers.
PASSENGERS LOCKED IN
They locked the doors at either
end of the chair car and began
shooting, firing about 20 shots. The
fusillade effectually terrified the
passengers, most of whom were for
eigners, and they were ready to de-

One robber stood at each door
with drawn revolvers, while the
third passed his hat down the aisle,

badly chewed an ear, when the big dog
yanked loose and ran bowling as fast
as three legs would permit into the

OF Percy and felt that Choppo had
helped to teach the other two lesson
in sporting manners.

pathzed with Percy and were very
angry over the affair. In the course
of two or three days Day came over
to see Merrill to complain that the
bulldog was stealing their little chick

Choppo was too much of a gentleman

Finally Mr.. Merrill agreed to watch
for the next three days to discover
where the chickens disappeared. The
first day did not reveal any sign of the
work of the thief, but On the second
day there were the bodies OF two or
three little chickens lying in the corral
Curiously enough the chickens were
not eaten after being killed. This
happened again on the third day, al
though choppo was watched closely
Notwithstanding the fact that he had
no positive proof, Mr.. Day insisted that

in spite OF Neds protests.
The parting was sad one. AS
Choppo was lifted into the wagon and
saw that his young master was not
going with him he began to whimper
and cry. which changed into doleful
wall as the wagon started off. while
Ned ran into the house and locked him
self in his room to conceal his grief
The next morning-Sunday-
was sadly roaming about the back ward
and stopped to look through the fenca
at the chickens that caused all tbe
trouble. The chicken yard was next to
the corral where Percy's shetland ponv
was kept, and this morning Punch 10
he was called, was having a great tlme
chasing around the corral the bIacl
calf, whose tail he held between hia
teeth; then the mischievous pony seized
the big turkey gobbler by the tail and
chased him round and round until thew
were both tired out. Ned was nouoh
amused and forgot his troubles for tbn
moment and continued to watch tbe
pony, which, standing in the sun near

father, who was in the garden, "Come

to the fence and called out to Mr.. Dav

as they looked they saw the shetland

body dropped off.

dog who was disappearing into the
house with Percy. AS this. was not the
first time that Percy had played this
trick, Ned did not feel very kindly to-
ward him, and as for Choppo. he from
that day was the sworn enemy Of
their unfair assailant.
Soon after this Ned and his father
went into the mountains for the sum-
mer. and it was some months before
they returned. BY this time there was
a great change in Choppo-he was now
a beautiful, full grown bulldog-the pet
OF the Merrill family. and especially Of
Ned, in whose room he slept every
night.
Ned was very proud OF his dog and
was anxious to show him off. particu-

line and craned his neck out to watch
his young master ride down the street,
where sure enough Percy was playing
with Shep out In front. Shops owner
could not resist an opportunity OF a
little safe sport with his neighbor, so
he opened the gate and let the big dog
out and set him on Ned who had great
difficulty in keeping his balance on the
wheel as the shepherd jumped and
whirled in front Of him. Ned then let
out a shrill whistle and down the
street like streak came white

Unless arrangements are made Tor the settling of all outstanding obli- gations of Chi Peterson, who is at present held at Phoenix on a charge of attempting to leave the territory to es- cape the payment of a S60 board bill his arraignment will in all probability take place in the town hall this fore noon It was rumored on the streets yesterday that a sufficient amount of money was en route from the east to settle the debt of the young man and insure the withdrawal of the warrant. but the rumor could not be verified at this place yesterday.
 Just what defense will be made Is not known. The maximum punish ment which can be meted out on the charge already made is three months in the county jail or fine of Sl00.
 It was understood that the arraign- ment was to be held yesterday. but the officers learning that they could not come to Mesa on the afternoon train and return to the capital the same evening decided to postpone the mat ter for another day.

UTAH LAND OWNERS
 TENTATIVE PROPOSITION

The first official move made by the landowners under the original Utah canal looking toward a final readjust- ment of their differences in refusing to sell the physical property of their water system to the government was begun when d committee consisting or D. P. Jones, James Powers and Elijah Allen was named to confer with Louis C. Hill and determine what terms would be given them in the event they would consent tO place their canal property under government control IL should not be understood by the fore going that the entire acreage under the upper Utah ditch is represented by the committee. for such is not the case. There is still a great difference of opinion among the Utah ranchers and those who have been holding out against the sale are just as obstinate as they ever were. However, the point to be conveyed is that out of the 1000 acres of land watered by the upper Utah ditch tkere are 1,2OO acres that will pass under government ownership at a reasonable figure. There would of coutse be a problem to be worked out in getting water to these people since the Utah ditch could not be used for the reason that it is not govern ment property. The owners of 1,2OO acres of land in the Utah valley are anxious for reservoir water and they want a system worked out whereby they can receive that water regard less of the refusal of their neighbors to consent to sell
