BIDS OPENED FOR
 OFFICE BUILDING
Five Competitors for Construction oi the Water Users Association
 Home.

The building committee of the board of governors of the Water Users Asso- citation yesterday opened the bids sub mitted for the construction of the proposed office building on the assOci- ation's lot at the corner of Second avenue and Van Buren street. The bids were as follows:
 s. J. Eubanks. comparatively new contractor in Phoenix. who has to his credit the erection of the new board of trade building, s2s.sS5.
 Olsen & Co. of Bisbee. now con structing an addition to the Sisters hospital. s34.757.
 T. B. Stewart. s35.S72.
 Clinton Campbell. s36.267.
 Tom Edens. s39.192.
 The last three named are all we'll known Phoenix contractors. There was one other bid which could not be considered as it was not accompanied by the certified check for s1.500 that was required by the advertisement. It was the bid of Hurlburt & Co. of Los Angeles for $34. .490.
 It was explained that the reason no check was forwarded was that it was known that the bid was in excess of what the association has estimated as the probable cost and on which it had based it's appropriation. The bid was submitted merely as an intimation to the board what the company's services could be secured in the event it desired to make an additional appro priation and adopt it's plans.
 No award was made or expected yesterday The building committee will give careful study to the bids submitted and on Monday will report to the board of governors in it's reGu- lar meeting such recommendation as it may arrive at. In speaking of estl- mates above it was not intended to convey the idea that there is any defi- nitely fixed amount beyond which there must be no expenditure. It IS only meant that in undertaking the building >project the board figured on an expenditure of about s40.OOO Of this amount $9.000 went for the pur-

New York, Dec. 1.-The stock mar ket was subject to another overhaul ing today. in the process of which the prices again fell with some pre- cipitation. The movement at times was strongly suggestive of the urgent liquidation to which the extensive sell ing of short interest gave an added impetus. On the surface much of the days news was favorable.

|OAMAGE SUIT TAKEN | ID SUPREME COURT
Case Dismissed and Carried Up on
 Law Point.

The suit for s25.OOO damages, brought by Etta Crandall. admins tratrix, against the Consolidated Tele- phone. Telegraph and Electric com pany. was begun yesterday. but had not progressed far until the action was dismissed and notice of appeal to the supreme court was given by the plaintiff The reason for the sum mary action was that a place was arrived at which made it wise for both parties to get into the supreme court at once before proceeding fur ther in the lower court.
 The foundation of the suit is de- plorable accident in Mesa City some months ago. in which Edward s. Gran dall, husband of the plaintiff, was killed by an electric current in creamery, transmitted to him over telephone wire. Investigation showed that both the telephone wire and the government transmission wire passed close together under or near a big cottonwood tree. That some one had sawed a limb off the tree and in falling it had caused the burning or breaking of one wire. one end of which fell across the other wire. di verting the heavy current to the tele- phone wire.
 After the opening statement yes terday, the question of negligence came up and the defense moved that the jury be instructed to return verdict in it's favor on the ground that the negligence was that of third party This was resisted at first. but there was final friendly under standing that the motion would be withdrawn, the case dismissed and the plaintiff appeal to the supreme court at once on the issue.
 The damage suit of s. ID. Shumway against the Maricopa and Phoenix railroad company over the killing of horse was continued until December 21
 The matter of the estate of Lillian Wentzler went over until today. as did that of John Anderson versus Peter Godfrey.
 In the case of H. Leppla versus A. O. Bowen. in which a verdict was ren- dered for the plaintiff a few days ago. on motion of the plaintiff the verdict was set aside and the case dismissed. the damages and costs hav7 ing been paid. This action was taken that titles to property of the litis;ants might not be affected in any way.
 In the case of the Crown Distiller- les Co versus R A Roberts et al. suit on account. leave was granted to withdraw the original complaint for the purpose of verification.

Venerable Catholic Clergyman
Did Noble Work in Up

OAKLAND. Sept 16-Rev. Fathes
Thomas McSweeney. pastor of 81.
Francis de Sales church and one of the
best known and most beloved Catholic
clergymen in this city. is critically III
at the paroehial residence. $50 Hobart
street. 1t is feared that the end is not
far off. The venerable priests health
has been feeble for several years.
The patient, who is being attended
by DR.. D. D. Crowley and DR.. l. P.

greater part of yesterday. Today he
rallied and regained consciousness for
period, but he is said to be extremely
weak
The active work of conducting the
affairs of the parish was turned over
in April to Rev Father Patrick j.
keane, the condition OF Rev. Father
McSweeney being such that he was un-
able to devote any attention to the
cares of the parish over which he has
presided for nearly a quarter OF a
century.
Rev. Father McSweeney came to Oak
land in 1881 and for five years served
as an assistant in St Mary's parish
to the late Rev Father Michael King.
He had also served for five years as an
assistant priest in the old ST. Mary's
cathedral in San Francisco under
Archbishop Alemany.
Father McSweeney was born in Wa

pared for the priesthood al Mt Melery

mediately came TO California. arriving
in the state in 1875. It was through
the untiring efforts and executive abil-

one OF the leading parishes in the city.

BELLE ELMORE WAS
KILLED BY POISON
Scientist on the Stand Swears
Unqualifiedly That Drug
Caused Death
DR.. William II. Wilcox Declares
Victim Could Have Survived
Only an Hour

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Dr. William
Henry Wilcox, scientist-analyst to the
home office, who discovered a deadly
of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, took the
stand when the trial of the doctor and
his typist, Ethel Claire Leneve, for the
murder of the formers wife was con-
tinued today and swore unqualifiedly
that death was due to poison.
The physician described the nature of
the medium used and said that from
quarter to half a grain would prove
fatal He had found two-seyenths of
a grain after a lapse of fronf four to
eight months and judged that more
than half a grain had been. admins
tered He found no other cause of
death and expressed the opinion that
or more.
Before Doctor Wilcox was called the
crown introduced medical testimony to
corroborate that given on Wednesday
by Prof Augustus j. Pepper, patholo-
gist OF the University of London, who
swore that the body had been dismem-
bered by one familiar with the science
of anatomy
The grewsome exhibits and the un-
pleasant character Of the testimony at
the last session did not deter the Curl
Gus from struggling to get into the
Bow street police court today and the
section apportioned to the public again
was crowded The spectators included
the usual array of fashionab1y dressed
women and these thoughtfuly removed
their hats that those seated behind
them might not miss a move of the
trembling girl In the dock or of her
companion in duress, whose jaunty air
only adds to the morbid interest in
the case.
Doctor Wilcox, whose evidence was
very technical, was in the witness box
for four hours. Attorney Arthur New
ton, who is conducting the case for the
defense, closely cross examined the wit
ness, but ELECTED nothing new.
Inspector Dew of Scotland yard then
took the stand. Solicitor Newton asked
him few questions on behalf of Miss
Leneve with the object of showing that
she repeatedly said that she believed
whatever Crippen told her.
she did not mention Crippen to me-"
the detective replied.
The case was then adjourned to
September 81.

CABINET TO DECIDE
FATE OF BALLINGER
Secretary of Interior, Friends
Say, Will Ask Associates
to Act as Judges
Richard Achilles Will Resign
Unless Presidents Official
Family Rules Otherwise

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Whether
Richard A. Ballinger's resignation as
secretary of the Interior will follow
Immediately on the cabinet meeting,
September 26. to attend which he is
now en- route from Seattle, or whether
he will retain his position Indefinitely
at least-until after the delivery to
congress of the reports of the commit
tee that investigated his stewardship
of the public domain, depends now
upon the attitude of his cabinet asSo-
ciates
Ballinger is coming, to Washington,
his friends say, wholly unconscious of
, any act on his part for which he should
be condemned and has determined to
force his chief and his official COL
leagues to be in effect his judges. If
they concur in the view at present at
tributed TO President Taft that the
accused secretary shall be sustained as
an innocent and prosecuted man, he
will retain his position. If they fail
to back him up. he viii resign.
DISAPPOINTED BY COMMITTEE
At the first meeting of the cabinet
after the summer recess, Secretary
Dickinson, the democratic member,
will not have returned from the Philip
pines and will therefore be saved the
embarrassment of participation in
what is regarded as largely problem
of republican policy The meeting is
expected to last three days.
Nobody here doubts that a majority
all but one of the republican members
---of the investigating committee will
sustain Ballinger. But Ballinger and
his partsans here were greatly dfsap-
pointed that the absence of Senators
i to- !, ~. aar lie
meeting left the pro-Ballinger portion
of the committee in the minority and
permitted the democrats and the in
surgent republican member to put
forth reports condemning him, whereas
he relied on the majority for vindica-
tion.
CABINET TO JUDGE CASE
1t was said here today by a close
friend of the secretary that had the
majority of the committee been ready
to report at the Minneapolis meeting
he would then have rendered his resig
nation to the president and urged It's
acceptance on the ground that the dis
sensions to which he has been a party
were detrimental to the public interest
When the committee failed at Mime
apolis to take action as a whole, and
when there was no quorum at the sub
sequent meeting in Chicago, Ballinger
became convinced that his position, In
spite of the continued support Of the
president had become untenable. I'm
able, as he sees 1t, to resign as either
vindicated or condemned by the COM
mfttee, he has decided, it is said, TO
demand of his superior and his cabinet
associates either vindication or con-
demnation.

He continued
There never was a time when
greater opportunities were laid be-
fore the American people than to-
day. All the efforts of public men
and businessmen should be to work
together in unison for this prosper
fty, and to see that it is not de-
stroyed by hypocrisy, demagogy
or hysteria, which may exist for a
time, but will pass away.
So far as the public service of this
country is concerned every man [

boring first to know the needs of
the nation. then TO execute these
needs within the limits of the law
and the constitution.
This country in its history never
had a man more deliberate, better
poised, more in harmony with the
developments of this, great nation
than William II. Taft. His great
achievements perhaps have not yet
been fully realized, but they will be
realized by the American people
