HAPPY PASSENGER

Phoenix had at least one happy
 passenger aboard last evening when it
 pulled out ofsthe Santa Fe station in
 the person of A. Wetzler. the Washing
 ton street grocer. He had the smile of a schoolboy let out to play and the
 sprightly step of a girl bound for the
 millinery store. He left to join Mrs. Wetzler and the balance of the family at san Diego, where together they will indulge in a well earned vacation.
 ENLARGlNG THE ARIZONA CA
 NAL-The excavator employed in
 widening the Arizona canal has been shut down for two or three days on account of a leaking boiler, but re- pairs were supposed to have been finished and the machinery started again yesterday. During the month of July the eXcavatOr gnawed it's way down the canal bank for the distance of 3950 feet and spat 23,000 cubic yards of mud on the hither bank of the ditch. The dredge which IS stationed some distance this side Of Indian Bend, travelled 5000 feet and elevated 29.000 yards to the ditch bank. -In about another month it is expected the dredge will reach the Arizona falls and the eXcavatOr will reach the place the dredge began it's work when it passed ahead of the eXcavator, The eXcavator will then be moved below the falls and begin its long,. slow. jaunt toward the west end of the canal. while the dredge will be taken back to Granite Reef to begin the work of widening the canal to it's final limit

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Rep. Rodenberg of Illinois Believes
Senate Will Pass Measure.

washington, FeD. lO.-"lt would De
the worst kind of economy not to pass
river and harbor bill at this session
of congress and to furnish the neces-
sary funds to carry on the improve
ments already begun on the rivers and
harbors of the country" said Repre-
sentative William f. Rodenberg of the
22nd Illinois district and "A member of
the rivers and harbors committee.
There are abundant examples of
the un- -businesslike method of the gov
ernment in its treatment of the water
ways of the country and l believe the
time has come when we should go about
improving our great natural highways
with the same discriminating care as
we put into our private business"
"The most conspicuous example that
I now recall of false economy on the
part of the government is the manner
in which the development of the Mis-
souri, river has been carried on. We
have spent several millions on that
river but without any well defined poll
icy and as n result we have little or
nothing to show for the money spent
on that great tributary of the Mis-
sissippi.
"Now that the committee on rivers
and harbors has practically decided on
a bill that. while II will be comprehen-
sive in character will not carry any
where near the amount some OF the
more enthusiastic friends of water
ways have anticipated. the work on
the Missouri viii have to be practical
~ done all over again.
The rumors current that the senate
will not pass a river and harbor bin at
the present session I do not believe
are founded upon facts. My informn-
tion is just the reverse. I believe that
when the bill goes 20 tho senate public
sentiment will be 80 strong In favor 90
a waterways measure that the upper
branch cannot ignore the demand"

TO PAY DEATH PENALTY
FOR SFXIUPLE MURDER
Virginia Man Will Die in Electric
Chair Unless Governor
Interferes.
CRIME WAS A TERRIBLE ONE

Richmond, Va, Feb 10.-Unless
Governor Mann sees fit to interfere,
Howard Little, "the sextuple murder
err of Buchanan county, will die in
the electric chair in the State peni-
Tertiary here tomorrow morning. The
condemned man has abandoned all
hope of receiving respite. He is
chiefly concerned about the disposition
OF his body. He wants to be buried at
his old home I'm Mcdowell county,
West Virginia, and. has received as
surance that the small amount of
money he has left will be used to
carry out his wish. r
The crime for which Little is 10
pay the death penalty was probably
the most fiendish i'm the criminal rec
ords of Virginia. For the purpose of
robbery he wiped out an entire family
of six persons and then sought to con-
ceal the crime by burning the bodies
of his victims.
The scene of the tragedy was the
little town of Hurley, in Buchanan
county, the victims were "Aunt Betty
Justis, an aged woman who was gen.
orally supposed to keep a large sum
of money about her, her son-in-law,
George Meadows, his wife and their
three children.
on the morning of September 22
last neighbors discovered Meadows
mutilated body lying in the yard of
his destroyed home. Two bullet holes
through the body and a CHASTITY wound
i'm the neck. which almost severed
the head from the body, gave the dis
coverers their first evidence of the
extent of the tragedy.
Bloodhounds were rushed to the
scene and a posse started at once in
pursuit of the murder. Many signs
pointed TO Howard Little as the mur-
derer and within a week after the ira
gedy he was taken into custody.
Little's wife confessed to having wash
ed his bloody clothing the day after
he had left their home about dark
the night of the tragedy and return.
ed the next morning with his clothes
all bloody and torn, and said that he
would kill her If she told anything
about his condition. 1t was ascertain
ed that he had borrowed 80 caliber
revolver a few days before the crime
was committed, and returned it the
following Wednesday with two
chambers empty. The body of George
Meadows was exhumed and two bull
lets taken from it were almost iden-
tical in weight with the balls taken
from the shells belonging to the wea-
pom Little had borrowed.
Little's trial took place last No
vember and resulted i'm a verdict of
guilty and a sentence of death. jan
uary was the date originally fixed for
the execution, but Governor Swanson
granted a stay of thirty days in order
that the case might be taken to the
higher courts. In the meantime Little
was taken to Roanoke for safe keep
ing as threats of lynching were made
i'm the county where the trial had
taken place. Two weeks ago Little's
last hope of escaping the electric
chair was destroyed when the State
