BUSY DAY FOR 7. R.
He Left Phoenix Last Night for Los
Angeles.

Phoenix. Ariz., March 21.-Theodore
Roosevelt completed his tour through
New Mexico and Arizona when he de-
parted last night for Los Angeles.
The private car in which he and
his party are travelling was attached to
the Santa Fe train which left here at
$50 p. m.
Colonel Roosevelt. sunburned to a
rudy hue by his long motor rides of
the last two or three days, spent a
very busy time in Phoenix
His address to more than 5000 peo-
pie in the city plaza at midday was
| the feature of the day, but it was by
no means all that the colonel was
called upon to do. He attended a
luncheon given him by the members
of his Rough Rider regiment who are
located in this part of the territory;
visited Governor Sloan at the execu-
tive mansion. motored abO'lt the great
valley irrigated by the Roosevelt da m
and arrived at his car just before the
train started. The last event of the
day was a talk at the dedication of
! st, Lukes home for vtubercular pa
tients, fostered by Bishop Atwood
Mrs Roosevelt and Miss Ethel did
not participate in any of the cere-
monies of Mr.. Roosevelts reception
They remained throughout the day at
Mesa, where Archie Roosevelt is at
school.
Mr.. Roosevelt's ideas of Arizona's
statehood constitution as expressed in
his speech have aroused no little in
terest in Phoenix.
His declaration that the federal gov
eminent should imm edfately accept
the territory into the Union, although
he opposed the recall provision of the
constitution as applied to the judiciary,
was the main topic of conversation
about Phoenix.
The address was enlivened by in
terrogations from the crowd in the
shape of questions or suggestions, and
Mr.. Roosevelt answered every one.
When he declared himself as to the re-
call of the judiciary, voice from the
have it too From another section of
the audience came the additional
statement: I'VE need it"
Mr.. Roosevelt paused a moment and
then replied:
ssWhen you say you are going to
right. if you want it. But when you
| say you need it, I do not agree with
YOU
A slight change in Mr., Roosevelt's
program in Los Angeles has been
made necessary by the desire of Presi-
dent Wheeler of the University of
California, that he should arrive with
out fail in Berkeley on Thursday
morning.
| on receiving a telegram from DR..
Wheeler, Mr.. Roosevelt's secretary de-
! cided that the party must leave Los
Wedn esday instead of going over the
coast line.
| Mr.. Roosevelt's car will be run as
section of the northbound limited.
Mrs Roosevelt and her daughter will
mot alter their plans, but will proceed
to San Francisco by the coast line,
meeting Mr.. Roosevelt Thursday at
| DIR. Wheeler's home in Berkeley.

Mrs Schenk Must Answer for Death
of Her Husband.

Chicago, March 21.-Mrs. Charles
Schenk, who confessed she shot her
| husband Saturday morning after a
night Of revelry, has been held to the
grand jury on a charge of murder by
the coroner's jury. She will remain
under the surveillance of the police
until after the funeral of Schenk.
when she will be committed to the
county jail.
| The discovery of a second bullet,
found in a register on the second floor.
put an entirely new phase to the
shooting, according TO the police, and
gave them the theory that Mrs. Shenck
shot her husband deliberately.
From the location of the bullet and
the position in which her husband $
body was found they now believe Mrs.
Schenk quarreled with her husband
and shot at him, while he was standing
in the doorway of her bedroom, and
after he had fled downstairs followed
him to the top Of the stairs. leaned
over the rail and fred the shot that
ended his life.
While giving her testimony Mrs.
Schenk was overcome and fell strik-
ing her head against q desk, receiving
a painful cut over the eye She relat-
ed the incidents of the party. which
she said had been in celebration of
the fourteenth wedding anniversary of
Chick Fraser. former National
league ball player
She said she had been put to bed
by other women of the party but was
awakened soon after by Schenk calling
her from down stairs. She got re-
volver fearing burglars, and hurried
to the top of the stairs. Then she said
she could see her husband stopping
on the stairs. She admitted the re-
volver was discharged but said she
did not know of firing the shot.
Under croSs-eXamination Mrs.
oh
many shots were fired and that she
may have pulled the trigger more than
once before dropping the weapon.
The uncertainty of her story, to-
gether with the testimony of Paul
Cebek, Schenk's hostler, who said he
heard two shots fired at about min
ute apart. shortly after o'clock in
the morning, are said to have actual
ed the jury in voting to hold Mrs
Schenk to the grand jury.
Chick Fraser testified that with his
wife he had formed one of six couples
that began a night of gayety at a
church euchre party.

we had lunch but no drinks. we went

Hunter worked overtime for its pas
sage. His action puzzled the opposi-
ton. Now it is claimed that the ship
perS have found another bean under
the pod. Hunter owns large milling
interests in the southwest section of
meant that shippers to the Kansas
City territory should pay the $3.50 in
spection and weighing fees. The south
Kansas millers could elect to buy by
sample and the margin might go into
a manipulation of the price of the fin
ished article. Now the shippers have
climbed over the fence and propose
to kick the props from under the state
grain inspectors office.
The Kansas shippers are particular
ly sore because of the alleged Juggling
of inspections. They cite case from
Liberal, Kansas. A producer last
year shipped three cars of wheat to a
Wichita firm in fulfillment Of con-
tract. When the shipment arrived, it
was graded as No. 4, stack burned.
The shipper refused to accept the in
spection and asked for reinSpection.
Things did not change. Then the
wheat was shipped to Kansas City,
Mo. Here the grain was graded as
No. 1 Turkey. But the cost of an adj
ditional haul, a decline in the market
which it is claimed he should have
received undar a fair Kansas inSpec-
ton.
These difficulties, it is said, will be
overcome when the new plan is we'll
in operation. Each member of the
association is advised to bill all grain
to Kansas City. Mo-. with notations on
the bill of lading, mo inspection de-
sired.'' The grain dealers association
will provide samplers to draw samples
from the cars and deliver them to the
consignors and on the floor of the ex-
change. All demands for inspection
fees will be refused and the ship
ments will be held to be operative UNI
der the interstate commerce laws and
not those of the state of Kansas.
AS an illustration of the wide scope
of the new law, the association provid-
ed a few figures. 1t showed that the
average wheat production in Kansas
for ten years was 100000 a year.
About 100000 bushels is used local
" and the remainder is shipped.
Figuring 1900 bushels to a car. some
$4,000 cars of wheat would this year
be caught under the provisions of the
law Miscellaneous grains shipped in
1910 to the Kansas, City market, total
led 46047 cars. This would bring the
aggregate to 96.047 cars. which ship
pers claim would suffer an average adj
ditionaI inspection fee of $1.38 car
on in and out shipments.
