FORMAL VERDICT
 IN NEIL HOMICIDE
Inquest Related Mostly to Premedta
 ton on Part Of Beckton.

That William A. Neel came to his death of a knife wound inflicted by Louis Backton was the finding of the coroner's jury yesterday regarding the tragedy at the Bartlett Heard ranch the evening before. The evidence pointed to the fact that the killing of \eeI was premeditated, though throughout tn hearing it was evident that the sympathies of most of the witnesses were with Beckton
 The evidence brought out little in addition to the story of the killing told by The Republican yesterday morn ing The first witness was pr. Wylie who had made a post mortem eXamin- ation He stated that the knife had passed through the left side of Neel's heart. The other witnesses were ern- ploves 0: the ranch who Were seated about tle lone dining table at the time of the tragedy
 The inquiry was directed less to the circumstances of the killing than to the question whether Beckton meant to kill Kneel when he entered the dining room and ali of them were questioned cIoseFv as to whether he had his knife open when he rose from the table and started for the fatal encounter. Most of the witnesses had not seen the knife but one of them W. N Kilbey said he saw the knife when Beclton was pass ing around the end of the table. It was open That was before Neel seized a metal pitcher and threw it at Bcckton.
 KiIbey said then the men rushed at each other and that Neel either knocked or pushed Beckton down. As to what happened immediately after that there was some discrepancy. Ac- cording 10 some of the witnesses the bv-standers did not take carly action, but in cases of this sort time seems to pass more rapidly than it really does. According to kiby he and others ran to separate the men and he lifted Neel from Beckton and led him to the door. Blood was running from his mouth Ncel never spoke but walked to hvdrant nearby and the last the wit ness saw of him he was leaning for ward When he next looked, Neel was lying on the ground dead.
 Kilbey said that shortly before the killing he had heard the men in angry conversation. He had heard Beckton say to Neel that he wanted him to quit picking on him for he would not stand it. It was agreed by all the witnesses that the men had been quarreling with each other over trivial matters. one man said, though not on the stand, that q frequent cause of their disputes was a difference of opinion as to the inn portance of various wars in which this country at one time or another had been engaged.
 Reckton made q statement at the jail which added nothing to the infor- nation given out by the witnesses. He said that he had always liked Neel and would have done anything for him but the latter was continually jumping on him

'. M. [. 4: CASES
 WERE ON TRIAL
It Was Decided That s. s. Scull's Answer Was no Answer at All.

Th, time of the superior court yes tcrday was occupied by the so-ca1Ied Y NJ. C. \. cases in which suit had been brought against various persons Tor the collection of their subscriptions to the Y. NJ. (. A. fund some years ago Judge Smith had been brought here from Yavapai county to hear the eases. Judge Phillips being disqualified bv reason of his close relations with the association.
 The first case taken up was that of the association against $. $. Scull who had subscribed $100 Suit was filed against him more than year ago. His answer was a curious one in which he stated that his subscription had been secured by misrepresentation. He had been informed that the purpose of the organization was to elevate the morals of the youth of the community and to prepare the ground for the culture of Christianity He accepted this state ment as true and subscribed to the fund
 Later he learned that among the equipment that was to be placed in the building was a lot of billiard and pool tables These he regarded as devices of the devil and not calculated to ele- vate the morals of the young but on the contrary, to give them a boost along the downward path
 When the case came up the plain tiff demurred to his weird answer and moved to strike it out The court gave tho defendant an opportunity to amend out he elected to stand on it for the things in it he believed to be true There was then nothing to be done but to consider that no answer had been made ard judgment was rendered against the defendant.
 In the other cases demurTerS were entered to the complaint and they were set for hearing later.

DIR. HALL ATTACKS
MODERN DANCING
Turkey Trot and Bunny Hug Have
Bad Influence on Young,
He Says.

An attack On the spirit Of the modern
dance was made yesterday afternoon by
Dr. Winfield s. Hall. professor of ply
si0logy at Northwestern Medical School.
In an address on fThe Sex Problem
Of Adolescence" which was delivered
at the Y. N. C. A. in the course Of
the afternoon session Of the First Wash
ingtOn Conference on the Boy and the
pecially for the women school-teachers
OF Washington, OF whom there were
more than 100 present.
The modern Dance" declared DR..
Hall, "as II Is usually conducted, with
no chaperonage or safeguards, is not
wise or an admissible exercise for
the young. The dances Of the present
time are in marked contrast to the
old folk dances of Europe, or to the
square dances OF our pioneer days, which
had a far more wholesome social sig
nificance and influence on the young
than have the numbers which we see
put on now in our ballrooms." DR.. Hall
included in his denunciation the waltz
and two-step as well as innovations
like the bunny hug and turkey trot
The evening session was devoted to
addresses on The Boy, the Home, and

MONOGRAPH ON BRAZIL.
Third Annual Edition Issued by
Pan-AmeFfcan Union.

The Pan-American Union has issued an
interesting monograph on Brazil It is
the third annual edition OF the work I'M
der the editorship of J. c. Oakenful.
The book treats of Brazil historically,
politically, and commercially, and Is re-
plete with facts regarding the nation and
its people.
One of the most interesting chapters
in the book is the cost Of living In that
country, arranged with reference to ali
classes of the people. From a COMPARE
son of prices for the necessaries of life
it is shown that food, rent, and clothing
cost more now than in former years,
and that salaries have not risen in pro-
portion. There is much unrest in Brazil
on this account, and various efforts are
being made to ameliorate conditions
through legislation and adjustment of
wages to the higher prices.
The book is a useful compendium OF
facts with reference to the country, its
industry, and its commerce, and the
American who reads it will have his
ideas of the largest Of the Latin-Ameri-
can republics clarified and revivified in a
remarkable degree.
