DEMOCRATS IN VERY
 JOLLY MOOD
LEADING MEMBERS OF PART GATHERED AT BANQUET BOARD.
REESE LING AS POSTMASTER KEPT
 SPIRITS AT A HIGH PITCH.

Democracy's leaders assem- bled arsund the banquet board at the Hotel Adams last night to celebrate the glorious victory won week ago today. Nearly fifty persons were ladies, wives of successful candidates or of the men who contributed so much to the success of the democratic party and the people of Arizona.
 Although it was held on short notice, the affair was one of the most brilliant Tn the history of Phoenix. The dining room was beautifully lighted and decorated. Great bouquets of carnations were placed upon the tables and the dinner was a triumph of culinary art. There wasn't any thing to mar the perfect pleasure of the occasion. All the candidates had been successful and there was nothing to mourn over. The dinner was a lovefeast. nothing else. Yet one who chanc- ed to overhear the conversation would not have called it a polite al gathering by any means. Politics was a mere side issue in the discussion.
 Reese M. Ling was toastmast- CT and he made short, witty little addresses in introducing Mark Smith, Carl Hayden, George Purdy Bullard. W. T. Webb and Paul Geary, One of the features of the evening was the reading of a telegram from Edward Rainey, who was sent to Arizona to represent the Hearst news papers in the recent campaign. MT. Rainey returned to San Francisco when. the campaign was practically over, but when the democrats conceived tho idea of having a dinner they wired, inviting him to attend. He wired his acceptancel but later he tele- graphed that ten minutes before his train was to leave he had been compelled to alter his plans, owing to important business. In his telegram he congratulated the democrats and the people of Arizona upon their happy choice of state officials and of represent atives at the national capital.
 Mark Smith talked about The Forty-Eighth Star;;" Carl Hayden told how he expects to feel when he goes to Washington as Ari- zona's first congressman. He also disclosed a few of the wiles he used in heading off his opponent. Jack Williams.
 ''The First Attorney. General. " was the subject of the humorous address of George Purdy Bullard, himself elected to that office. Automobiles, law, funny stories and philosophy were mixed up in his remarks until a person couldn't tell where one began and the other ended.
 w. T. Weeb confided the req sons that Graham county is always found so strongly in the democratic ranks. It fell upon Paul Geary to respoud to the toast, The Ladies. '" which he did in graceful manner and easy style.

PETIT LOOKS LIKE PUBLIC
SAFETY MAN

The fight against the Roys adj
ministration will now be carried
on with F. H. Petit as the stand
ard-bearer. Petit pressed Roys
hard yesterday and as a result
will compete with him In the sec
ond election. In that Roys was
showed under more than two to
one so far as total votes cast for
safety commissioner were con-
cerned, Pettit's friends have every
reason to believe that he will be
the next man to hold that office.
Petit is regarded as a most
clean cut man from every stand
point. Formerly a blacksmith by
trade he entered the wagon busi-
ness and became established as a
good business man. Although
Petit was not known politically
he sprang into popular favor dur
ing the campaign because OF his
earnestness and desire for we'll
regulated city.
with exception OF the regular
Roys support sentiment appears
unanimously in favor of Petit
now that he has entered the two
man race.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May s.--s
Wearing a Paris model gown
bought with money raised by
pawning her rings, Mrs. Florence
Bennett Knott, 20 years Of age,
today took the stand here and
fully detailed how. by means OF
the badger game" she aided In
scheme to pluck Charles Rosen-
thai, a wealthy merchant.
Sobbing loudly, the badger
girl told how she had Iured Ros-
enthal to her fashionable apart,
ment and there played with hisn..
while her husband, James Kn6Peq
took photographs of the pair in.
compromising positions.
On the third visit Knott sud-
denly appeared and seized him.
Mrs. Knott helped bind him with
ropes. When he was lashed and
gagged, photographs of himself,
taken in the very room where he
was sitting when Knott appeared,
were shown him. In these photo-
graphs he was in compromising
position with Mrs. Knott. He was
told that unless he agreed to pay
$1,000 the pictures would be used
to ruin him socially. He consent
ed to pay the money and signed
a check for $4,000. Then he told
the police the whole story.
Knott, his brother, Benjamin,
and Albert Armstrong, who were
all in the plot, pleaded guilty.
Their sentences were postponed.
Judge Wright declared that James
Knott's statement did not indi-
cate the degree of his guilt and
ordered him to be tried byfa jury.
It is probable that the woman VIII
be released on parole.

LOS ANGELES, May 3.-Hand-
icapped through lack Of knowl-
edge of the states case against
the Mcnamara brothers, charged
with conspiracy to murder, the at
torneys for the defense today are
making every effort to obtain from
District Attorney Fredericks a
copy of the testimony taken by
the grand jury here after the
Times disaster. There Is no
way in which the defendants can
obtain this transcript until they
have been arraigned on the in
dictments pending against them.
The prosecution holds the whip
hand and 1t Is believed that con-
siderable time will elapse before
arraignment on the indictment is
had.
1t is thought that the prosecu-
tion will endeavor to keep the
testimony out of the hands of the
defense as long as possible by
having a brief preliminary hear
ing, at which an outline of the
case against the prisoners will
be presented wathout tipping" its
hand to the defense. Barely
enough evidence will be brought
forward to insure the holding of
the McNamaras until every por-
tioh of the prosecutions case has
been strengthened.
Believe Schmidt Dead.
There is no way under the law
that the defense can compel ar
raignment on the indictment and
no way in which it can obtain the
grand jury transcript until that
Is done. The only hope Of At
torney Rappaport and his col
leagueS is that the prosecution Is
speaking the truth when It says
the case is complete and that 1t
is ready to proceed. Scores of
witnesses must be interviewed by
agents of the defense and no step
can be taken by 1t when the
knowledge of whom those wit
nesses are, is withheld by the
prosecution.
Burns agents here are said to
have received reports that M. A..
Schmidt, known as 'Schmitty"
and alleged to be under indict-
ment, has been killed. District At
torney Fredericks says the case is
clinched without the testimony of
Schmidt, but other attorneys diff
fer claiming that Schmidt is the
connecting link between two sus-
pected California labor men and
q woman accomplice who are said
to be under indictment, but whose
alleged completely In the Times
explosion cannot be established
without Schmidt.

With a total vote of 1888 out
yesterday none of the 20 cadid-
tates for councilmen received a ma
jorty and the two high for each
place will have to run again, May
lie.
Woods came within 264 votes
of majority but failed to land.
Lawson had a narrow escape from
being eliminated entirely by Jim
Drake, who came within 192 votes
of beating him, while Weeks did
beat him by nearly 2,000.
Freeland was 1928 behind
Lamborn In the first race and the
two will fight 1t out now in the
finals.
Roys polled the lowest vote OF
any of the old commissioner ex-
cept Lawson. and had only 4,738
in total of 1888. This shows
he polled less than one-third of
the vote. Petit was only 1,187
behind him, while the opposition
to Roys was badly split UP.
Barth, the socialist, loomed up
magnificently, with 3.254. lacking
only 297 of being in the second
race. Parker passed the 1000
mark and Jameson was up close
to the 1000.
Interest centered in the fight
for Roys' place. The largest vote
by several hundred was cast for
this position and the strongest
candidates were UP in this con-
test, thus dividing the vote very
materially.
Roys carried the First and Sec
ond wards where corporation in
nuence Is strong and also the
Third where the saloon rules.
But he lost all the rest.
Barth carried the Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth wards and Petit car
ried the Seventh and Eighth.
Barth did not come quite up to
his mayoralty vote, but consider
ing the falling off in the total vote
he did much better even yesterday
than before.
The high esteem In which Petit
was held by those who know him
best was shown in his own pre-
cinct in the Seventh ward where
he got 100 votes out of total Of
261, the 101 votes being divided
among the other five candidates.
Roys' greatest proportional
strength was shown in the saloon
precincts of the Third ward. He
had things all his own way there
and came out with 999 votes In
the ward. Petit had only 362,
coming from the residence sec
tions of the ward. The Royal
Arch formally endorsed Roys and
threw their money into the cam
paign yesterday and they had
every saloonkeeper in town work
ing In the wards for Roys.
That he did not poll greater
proportion of the vote Is consider
ed a crushing blow by his back
ers and they admit now that ne Is
doomed.
The vote for Woods was rath-
er remarkable. He carried every
ward In the city. being the only
man who did the trick.
Weeks came near 1t. getting all
but the Fifth ward, which Drake
took from him by 20. and Lawson
carried over both with over 100 to-
spare. This is the only ward Law
son carried in the city.
