NOTOR|OUSCROOK IS CAPTURED IN
 PRESCOTT
A. F. Powell Wanted On Several Charges. Of
 Forgery
(FrOm Tuesdays Daily

A notorious fOrger and confidence man who is wanted in Phoenix and in Arkansas, was arrested Sunday night by Deputy Sheriff Joe Young and Officer Tom McMahon. In Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, where he represented himself as a salesman for the West ern Buyers Association and negotiat- ed a worthless draft, he was known as A. l.. Powell. In Phoenix he pass ed as w. w. Powell and in Prescott be gave himself the name of Harry Howard.
 His Phoenix offenses consisted of passing a forged cheek for S20 upon Fred Marsh of the Hoffman Cafe, and in similar manner victimizing the landlord of the Portland lodging house also for double eagle. He left Phoenix a week ago and it was presumed that he had gone south but it appears he came to Prescott and after being in hiding for several days renewed operations in this city. On Saturday afternoon he worked the Brinkmeyer Hotel for $l0 by means of a phOny cheek and he caught the Prescott National Bank for $5> by de posting what purported to be a $500 draft on Texas bank for collection. This same draft was flashed in the St. Michael bar on Friday afternoon. No attempt was made to get money upon 1t but it is presumed that he in- tended to impress the bartender that he was man of means in order later that he might have him vOueh for him at the hotel office in the pre- sentatiOn of forged check.
 Powell was q man of fine appear anee and of gentlemanly personality and he readily made friends. He rep resented himself here as being the ad- vertlsing agent for large concern while in Phoenix he connected his name with different enterprises oper- ating either in the city or the valley.
 Young and MeMahon found Powell on Montezuma street and easily iden- tified him. In conversation after the arrest, he said enough to satisfy them that they had the right man.
 He was taken to Phoenix yesterday ! afternoon by deputy sheriff from that place.

Some curious results of the recent heat wave in Germany are being shown by the fact that many of the old masters have been so affected by the heat that they have been remov- ed to cold cellars in order to keep them from being ruined. Most of the paintings are pictures of German Emperors, all dressed in cumbersome armor and heavy weapons of war. No wonder they were overcome aphrodite rising from the foam of the sea, even in a German art gallery, is probably just as cool and comfort able as she looks. There is a wide field for dress reform right here in the United States and the fate of the overdressed German pictures should act as a warning.

GIVE US STATEHOOD.
GFrom Thursdays Daily.)

From the beginning, the Journal Miner has been an ardent and in sistent advocate for statehood To that end we have always stood by and urged those measures which seemed best adapted to attain that
 object Had the Nelson substitute prevailed, statehood wuld have been absolutely assured, but the adoption of the Flood resolution is a step nearer the goal. While positively and
 rrevocably against such a revolution ary feature as the recall of the judiciary which is calculated to de stroy the stability of the American government. we would rather obtain statehood saddled with that bernie ious principle than lose the boon for which Arizona has been striving for over a quarter of a century. The sound sense and good wisdom of the better class of citizens will eliminate that excrescence should the operation ever become necessary, even though it may not be done at the first state election. President Taft has two courses open to him. He gan veto the Flood resolution, if he so desires, as he has unOfficially intimated he would. or it may become law without his signature if he fails to act within ten days after the bill is presented to him. Should congress adjourn before the goth, the bill automatically dies should the Presi- dent fail to approve it in the interim
 But the Journal Miner in its sin rere desire for statehood which means immigration, investnents and enterprise, earnestly hopes that Presi- dent Taft will not veto the hill.
 If the recall or any Sother feature of the constitution be wrong. time alone will tell. and when that shall have been demonstrated there is no question but that the majority of the people of Arizona will apply the pruning knife.
 We know not what the Chief Executive may do, and therefore we hold forth no glittering promises. We repeat that beautiful old prOverb: i Blessed is he that expects nothing, for he shall not be disappointed.
 But nevertheless we are again con to voice the sincere hope . that President Taft may sign. the statehood bill. regardless of his we'll founded and sincere objections to its for in the course of time we shall be able to work out our only salvation.

 The Panama Pacific exposition has written to the Prescott Chamber of Comerce asking the Heal body to aid them in trying to obtain President Taft s consent to be present at the ground breaking exercises at San Francisco this fall.

Advertising pays. The best de- monstration of this fact that the citizens of Prescott have ever had is the experience of two local adver- tisers within the past two months. One of them advertised a special sale in the Journal Miner, and in no other publication nor by any other means. and the day of the sale one firm was forced to lock its doors in order to handle the crowds who an swered the advertisement-and with draw the notice for a few days un- til sufficient clerks were obtained to handle the crowds. In the other case after allowing the announcement to run short time, the firm was forced to have the newspaper notice withdrawn because the entire stock which had been advertised was sold out Both advertisers have admitted that the heavy returns were due solely to the advertisements which were published in the Journal-Miner exclusively.

The sad and unexpected news of the death of Dr. John M. Criley was received in Prescott yesterday, as oc- curing on Sunday, at Fosters, Ohio, from cancer of the stomach. Dr. Criley left this city in May to visit with relatives and friends at his old home, and with a premonition that his earthly career was closing, made a special object while in the above state to mingle with all relatives before the maady with which he was afflicted triumphed. The passing away of this popular physician and well known citizen, will be a source of regret to many friends and acguaintances. He was kind and gentle in demeanor, of agreeable fellowship, and with all an exemplary citizen. During his thir- teen years of residence, his ability was recognized in a professional capa- city as of the highest, and one of his splendid personal traits was his gen erous disposition.
 Dr. Criley was born in Gallon, Ohio, on January l. ls44. During the civil war he served with the 44th Ohio Volunteer Infantry and the sth Ohio

LAR|MER'SDEF|C|T IS STILL IN
 DOUBT
PeculationS Found To Have Covered
 Four Years
From Tuesoay's Daiivj


 i There were no startling develop ments yesterday in the Larimer de faleation and there is not likely to be any definite information as to the size of the shortage until after the work of overhauling the books has been completed.
 The community has not yet recov- cred from the shock as not even Lari- mer's most intimate friends suspected that anything was wrong. Assuredly his habits of life which were simple would not indicate it and there is not the slightest question but that the ex- penses of his household were much less than his income which was $2OO month. r@
 One thing known, however; is that his peculatiOns commenced over four years ago and it is understood that it has been discovered that there is one item which shows a discrepancy of S4,OOO. ....
 The manipulation of accounts was done with time deposits and until all the pass books are compared with the ledger accounts, it cannot be definite ly ascertained to what depth the late cashier was involved. Because of the fact that the pass books are in the possession of the depOsitOrs, it was an utter impOssibility for the directors or the bank examiner to have detect ed any wrongdoing or any manipula- tiOn of the accounts, as Larimer would make the correct entry in the pass book while the cash tag turned over to the bOokkeeper to be posted in the individual ledger account. Consequent ly the bank books always balanced and the fOOtings were invariably cor rect to the cent.
 The theory still obtains that Lari- mer played the stock market and got caught in the panic of 1907, when all stocks went to pieces. Nevertheless. there is no evidence thus far at hand to Substantiate that theory or even to give it credenee. But the stubborn |. fact remains that a goodly sum was and the question is: Where did it go! That will probably | be answered in the due course of | events.
 Any uneasiness that possibly might . have existed as to the stability of the bank was set at rest by the announce ment of the directors that all deposi- tors were secured, and consequently business was transacted yesterday un- Ter the usual normal conditions.

LoR1MER COMMITTEE REPORTS

The report of the Helm senatorial
committee, appointed by the Illinois
state senate. to investigate circum-
stances surrounding the election of
William Lorimer to the United States
senate, has been returned to the SEN
ate. It's two most vital points are:
A criticism of Judge Petit for his
ruling in the habeas corpus case, in
volving Tilden, Cummins and Benedict,
and this expressions: "Your commit
tee has reached the conclusion that the
election of William Lorimer before the
last general assembly would not have
occurred had it not been for the brib-
cry and corruption
1t is set out in the report that many
witnesses testified and that "the com.
mittee received a full and complete
transcript of all the testimony taken
in the case of the People VS. Lee O'Neil
Browne, which ease was tried in the
criminal court of Cook county, and
concluded on or about the LIST day of
September, 1902
The whole matter of the question OF
bribery and corruption charges is
placed by the committee before the
senate for whatever action the mem,
bers deem fit. No attempt is made in
the report to recommend the reopening
of the Lorimer investigation by the
United States senate or the unseating
of members of the Illinois legislature
charged with bribery.
The senate agreed to receive the re-
port and its consideration for adoption
or rejection, which will be a matter OF
snecial order.
