SERVICE
MEN ARE AFTER.
DYNAMITERS
MOST EFFICIENT SET OF MAN
HUNTERS in THE WORLD ON
TRAIL OF coNsPIRAToRs.

Washington, Dec. lite govern
ment has turned the secret service
force OF the Department OF Justice
loose on the trail OF the dynamite
conspirators. This is the real secret
service corps of the United States.
Its operatives are altogether the
most silent. least advertised, leas,
known, most efficient and terrible set
Of man hunters in this country, and
probably more efficient than any for
eign body OF secret agents.
1t is the policy OF the government
never to give ont the number or the
names OF the Department Of Justice
secret service agents, never to re
count their exploits or reveal their
methods. Chief Wilkes corps in
the Treasury Department catches
counterielters and guards the Presl.
dent, and the deeds OF It's mefbers
are widely known. The PostofIlee In.
spectors are quiet when at work, but
after an arrest is made they become
court witnesses and the stories OF
their exploits are told.
But the Justice Departments de-
tectlves always remain hidden. They
have the widest range OF actlvieies
OF any government force OF sleuths.
Today an agent may effect the cap.
ture OF some wretched thief In an out
lying government Office; tomorrow
he may start on the track OF red.
handed murderer on the high seas;
next spring he may be the suave
clubman and society lavorite whose
clever operations bring to bar the
record-destroying trust magnates.
But his identity is never revealed.
One day a tall gentleman, i'm.
peccably clothed in hard.weaye gray
trousers, rrock coat and silk hat,
gloyed and gaitored. enters the De
partment OF Justice building, swing.
ing slender walking stick. A clerk
may whisper to you that he is SO and
so. secret agent. And 1t gives You a
glimpse Of what the service is. This
agent can play the society drawler
or foreign nobleman II necessary TO
his purposes. Or he can get into a
jumper and overalls, crop his hair,
and be able to catch some desperate
fugitive from justice. It's all in his
line OF work.
The headquarters OF the kid-glove
service is In an upper room in the
Department OF Justice Building. It Is
Spartan.like room, rugless and with
cheap oak furniture. entirely unlike
the luxurious Offices in the rest Of the
building. Stanley W. Finch is chief
OF the service. His desk Is Uttered
with reports and photographs OF men
wanted. He receives constant
string OF kilograms and long distance
telephone messages from his agents
The number OF his force is not known
but 1t Is probably about l5O.

TRAVELLING MEN NAME ; CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR
But They Forgot to Inquire as to His
 Politics or Religion.

Doc Parkhurst, alias Dad, the mar who put Bull Durham tobacco on the bill boards" is the latest candidate for governor and he has the best oi all other possibilities. in that he has been nominated. Doc is the general western representative of the tobacco trust. though it is explained by his boosters that he is personally not in the trust, and is reputed to be the most popular travelling man in Arizo- ma.
 Doc. was nominated by a conven- ton of the United Federation of West ern Travelling Men, held here last night. This is straight for after com- pIeting it's work the convention strel- led over to the Republican office ano reported its proceedings. "Confouno if. that's the stuff said the conven- tion. using the exact words Parkhurst employs every time he writes an or der. "give it to him right for he is a prince of a fellow. He's been making this territory for the last twenty years regularly, and he is good for twenty more. unless he has to quit his job to take the Governorship at the call oi the people"
 The convention was asked where the new Moses could be reached at this time to get his views on the great public questions of the hour and the reply was that he is supposed to be ir Iron Springs, writing his letter oi acceptance.
 Reciting the things that especially fit NIT. Parkhurst for the office, the convention" said that he was not only as square as a checker board and the dean of the travelling mems fraternity but that he was a member of the Don't Worry club of Globe and will be in Phoenix in a few days to look after his boomlet and his business.
 The convention was sidetracked from its humorous mission and asked a few serious questions, one being as to the numerousness of travelling mer in this section. or how many of them make this territory regularly. There were no figures at hand but 1t was given as a conservative estimate thai there are 300 of them, and it was ad- ded that a great many of them arc citizens of the territory, residing 1T Phoenix. Tucson or Prescott. No can didate for governor therefore will lose anything by keeping a serious eye or the drummers, for fifty or a hundred votes at the right time will do some body a lot of good.
 In its excitement to announce its candidate, the "conventiOn" forgot tC write a platform or state the politics of Parkhurst. or whether he has any.

PHOENIX SUMMER
 SCHOOL ENDED
Seven Enter High School From It and Others Make Various Grades.

Prof. Daniel Jantzen's summer school. which he has been conducting in the Central school building. has closed. It began June , and closed August 25. The. granting of diplO- mas by special arrangement with the school board, to those who complet- ed the eighth grade of the school work and were found on examination to be prepared to enter the Phoenix high school. occurred this morning, the diplomas being signed by Superinten- dent Loper and Prof. Jantzen, the pupils not being present.
 The total enrolment of the school, during the session. was fifty-five. It was very equally divided between boys and girls. about half of each sex. The total includes ten pupils received and taught at the Y. M. c. A. Thirty-five attended in the morning and twenty-five in the afternoon.
 The purpose of the school was to bring the pupils up in knowledge and education on the points in their stu dies where they were lacking, or to enable them to make grades, as the case might be. There were more than the seven mentioned who made grades, but their certificates were a little less formal, being merely cer- tificates of passage from one tO another grade in the same system, in stead of to another school system. Eight pupils made the eighth grade.
 The school was so conducted as to be conducive to the physical as well nf hn not needed inside they were permit ted to spend their school hours of doors, in study or play, as might be best
 Those who will enter the Phoenix high school from this summer school are: Ruby Pascoe, Ethel McDermOtt Ruth Palmer, Naomi Reed, Edna Schultz, Rowland Stoner, Horace Steele.
 In addition. the following were also enrolled: Mary Maxwell. Jessie Will Hams, Parallee Irvine, Pearl Davis Native Steele, Raul Grijalva, Mabel Crozier, Nellie Temple. Crissy Temple Helen Keller.
