Edna Blake to him that the true MUIR

even to murder case.
Soon after Edminton's release Strei.
itz and l were invited to witness
quiet marriage between him and Miss
Bake. Indeed, we were the only
guests present, for those who had been
near to them had thrown them both
over upon Edminton's conviction.
After the ceremony Edminton said
to me:
"You gentlemen have been the in
struments through whom we have
been saved from further suffering, and
to you, and you alone, will confide
the secret of where we were on the
night of the murder. We were then
ten years younger than now and more
imprudent. We went to a hotel to be
married. / went out to find a minister

When President Taft compelled the
people of Arizona to strike the judi
cial Recall out of their proposed Con.
stitution as condition to their ad-
mission to statehood, he set them a.
thinking further. The result is that
the Arizona legislature has not only
placed before the people of their State
a proposal to re.insert the judicial
Recall for State judges but has enact
ed an Advisory Recall for Federal
judges. The latter is unique. Yet
the people of other states may lind
it worth adopting as a check upon
the Presidential creation of judicial
gymnasts like Judge Hauford.

| STRANGE CASE OF

Murder Mystery That Was
Solved In a Roundabout Way.

In 180- became interested in read
Ing newspaper reports OF the Edmin-
ton-Blake murder case. Alan Edmin-
ton and Edna Blake were lovers. Mr.
Blake, Edna's father, opposed the mar
riage. One night he was murdered In
the yestibule of his residence His
daughter was out and returned few
minutes after the murder must have
been committed. Neither she nor Ed
minton could account for where they
had been during the evening. A sin
gular feature was that they did not
try to establish an alibi They simply
let the matter go by default. There
was no circumstantial evidence against
Miss Blake, and the only circumstan-
tia evidence against Edminton was
Mr.. Blake's opposition to his mar
riage with Edna, taken in connection
with Edminton's inability to account
for his whereabouts at the time of the
murder Edminton was convicted, but
owing to the weakness of the testimo-
ny against him was let off with twen-
ty years Imprisonment
One morning about ten years later
my friend Carl Suelitz came into my
office, evidently with something of i'm
portance on his mind. He said

Beside being proud of the work of his son. he just wanted to see what the immense tappoon would look like when the last copestone was in place and the entire structure groOmed for it's final show. After witnessing the opening, MT Hill was held to Arizona by the desire to see the water flow over the spillway, and he has been living at Granite Reef in close touch with the great irrigation system for no other reason than his love for the outdoors of this great gentle -cllmated land, and a natural wish to be near and in sight of the operation of the biggest irrigation achievement of mod ern man.
 The trip to the coast will be tenn porary vacation, it being necessary, so he says, to see the Pacific edge of America to complete his knowledge of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. MT. Fitch's trip has to do with matters of import to the management of this project, which necessitate con sultation with the supervising engineer and use of files and correspondence at the main office.

It Is Proposed at Grand Lodge of Loyal Order to Establish a Tuberculosis Sanitarium Preferably in or Near Phoenix

 Mir. Leyhe is at Kansas City at tending the convention of the lodge. When the subject of a sanitarium came up, he together with other Ari- ZOna members proposed that the new state be given a chance to put up a proposition before the location of the hospital is definitely found.
 Time was given the Arizona delega- tion to wire for the best to be had in the state, and a telegram to the board of trade from MT. Leyhe was the re- suit to Phoenix town. Harry Welch replied there would be a warm wei come rendered to the order in Arizona He suggested in his reply there should be a delegation appointed from the national body to come to- the new state to look over the ground.

WHEN NATURE CALLS IN CITY
Four Y. w. C. A. Girls Pitched Their
 Tent in Neiehborins Back Yard

Since the warm days have come four young women, living at the Y. w. C. A. building on Michigan avenue, have longed to go camping in the woods.
 To sleep by a campfire with the soft hoot of the owl in their ears was all
 that they asked in the way of vaca- ton.
 A trip to the country, however, was beyond their means Then they hit upon a cheaper eXpedient-Why not
 buy tent and pitch it in somebody
 back yard?
 Providing themselves with brand
 new outing togs, a folding tent, and
 provisions to last day, the girls started out to find a place to camp Clara lugged a suitcase full of bed ding: Virginia squeezed paper DON containing the rations; Marjorie drag ged the tent, and Rosie carried the "beautifiers' But no vacant lo' showed itself. The girls were un- willing to be cheated of their night out in the open So Virginia picked up courage to ring the doorbell Of . house with a large back yard. Please, may I borrow your yart over night?" asked Virginia of the woman who answered her ring. My what?" inquired the woman beginning to stare.
 The girls explained that they were almost dying for fresh air and they l wished to camp over Sunday to breal 1 the monotony of a long weeks worl | in stuffy offices.
 | The woman laughed and said: Hell | tn my ward /" i The girls pitched their tent and un packed their provisions. Soon the ba con was sizzling over a campfire They had a most satisfying day O rest.
 1 Now the girls are going to anne1 somebody's back yard every Sunday | They will travel in different direction each week hunting for differen yard, in order to become better ac 1 quainted with the city.-Chicago Trib une.
