PHOENIX, Arizona, May 10, 1912
 Governor Hunt today named ns members of Fish and Game Commis- sion: Charlie M. Bledsoe of Winslow R.. w. Sydner of Globe; and T. F. Hall of Yuma; and to be members o1 Holt of Globe; Dr. F. E. Shine oi Bisbee; Dr. G. w. F. Samson oi Winslow; Dr. R. N Taffet of Phoen- ix; and Dr. J. w. Thomas of Phoen- iX. He signed and made law, bill for County Scholarship in State Univer- sity. Requiring electric head lights to be used on locomotives. Eight hour law for hoisting engineers, and regulations for filling vacancies in of flee. At nine o'clock tonight he said it would probably be next week be fore he would name Tax Commission Senate finally disposed of and made ready for third reading.
 Recalled bills applicable to federal Judges and United States Senators, and amended the latter to include con- gressmen. Up to a late hour tonight they had failed to pass Kinney bill .. although several expressed desire that bill be moved forward on calen- der, where it would be reached, and in this connection it may be said that there will be many bills left on docket when closing day arrives, it being d. most impossible for senate to transact business with any degree of dispatch Fl House members make charge that upper body is made up of too many orators and would-be-statesmen and too few real legislators while senators who worry over such thrilling charges sretort with the old adage, haste makes waste.
 Much time in senate was consumed today in fight over bill introduced bv representative Billy Graham of Coch- ise, making labor lines on mining prop erty take proceeding over mortgages or other indebtedness. Committee on whole asked favorable on bill but lat CT at request of Cuniff reconsidered their action and bill was referred to Mines and Mining Committee. Dur ing debate Graham appeared in sen ate chambers, and Wood of Maricopa

asked unanimous consent that Graham be asked to explain to senate objects of bill. Cuniff strongly objected or the ground it would establish and a dangerous precedent to have member of house talk to senate concerning pending legislature and privilege and denied. Labor organization fought two battles in house today, one of in terest to electrical workers, who sought to create office state inspector which was lost, and one Western federation of Miners, which was won The miners bill was an eight hour law prepared by Frank Brown, executive committeeman for Arizona, and make mining companies pay for miners time from time he enters collar of shaft.
 Regarding November election, while both houses have reported unfavor- ably, bills calling for general election of state officers, it now seems likely that there will be one, notwithstand- ing it is said in event no legislation is enacted on subjects that Governor Hunt will issue proclamation for cleo tion, notwithstanding attitude of legis- latiOn. It is easy to see position it places those who are opposed to cleo tion in aspiring politicians cannot op- pose. Governors ideas, no matter what their views on subject may be it might be added that state officers generally favor November election.

Balance mem bers senate except Lovin, who was ab- sent. There was no debate prior to final passage same being cut out by parliamentary procedure. Prior to taking up Kinney bill, special investl- gation committee of office of state en- gineer submitted a report which while not made public is said to contain bases for sensational charges against previous administration of office.

MORENC| W,O MA N WAS PASSENGER
 ON TITANIC
i Lost Her Husband in Terrible Sea
 . Disaster and Arrived in New York 1 Penniiess and Alone.

Fatigued, nervous and occasionally crying, Mrs Lathefy BaikYeen, ac companied by her 4-year old daughter Marie, survivors of the ill-fated Ti- tanic occupied seats in the waiting room at the union depot one night last week for an hour. They were waiting for a train to take them to Morenci, Arizona, where Mrs. Baiil- leen was to meet two brother-in-lawS.
 Mrs Baikleen, accompanied by her husband and daughter, sailed on the Titanic as Steerage passengers from Shieare, Syria When the Titanic struck the iceberg which sent it and 1,600 persons to a watery grave, Mrs Baikleen said the passengers in th2 steerage were imprisoned for an ho[ir during which time the first and sec ond class passengers were placed 12 lifeboats. When the word was given for the steerage passengers to make their way to the deck there was a panic. Men, crazed with the thought the ship was sinking, crushed women and children beneath them in an eff fort to reach the lifeboats. Four men, she said, were shot down by Off, ficers and the passengers of the steer age walked across their bodies on the way to the boats.
 Mrs Baikleen told her experiences to Michael Sayeg, a police officer at the depot, who is a native of Syria. When she arrived in New York she was penniless. Her husband carried all their money and the tickets to Morenci, Arizona.
 Though Mrs. Baikleen said she IS but p years of age, she looked to be a women of 40. The suffering the passengers on board the lifeboat, twenty-five of them, besides two ot the crew, endured was indiscribable. She said one man jumped from the top deck of the Titanic and landed in the middle of the l1feboat. He was stunned only Kansas City Post.

SANDERS CASE WAS IGNORED BY THE
 GRAND JURY
Action of Grand Jury in Dismssing Alleged Charge of MutiIation and Alteration of County Records
 Meets With Approval.

The case of the State of Arizona vs. F. A. Sanders, brought by District Attorney Horton, on charge of muti- lation and alteration of the county re- cords, at the time F. A. Sanders was acting as County Auditor and private auditor for the mining companies, was this week dismissed by the grand jury. There were several charges for separate offenses and they were all dismissed. In a communicati ,n to the court the grand sjury stated that the evidence was insufficient to warrant an indictment.
 Sanders was given a preliminary hearing before Justice Moder on these charges several months ago, and bound over to await the action of the grand jury. The charges alleged that while acting as the County Audi tor Sanders had made corrections on the public records, notably in the of fee of the Justice of the Peace 1t Mofenci, and in the office of the coun- ty recorder. It was not alleged that Sanders committed the act malicious ly, or with intent to do wrong, but 1t was held by the district attorney that he mere ac of altering a public record in any manner, constituted a felony under our statutes.
 Pending the hearing of the cases by the grand jury the case took an other turn when Sanders was cited to appear before Justice Moder to ali swer contempt charges. A writ or prohibition was granted by Judge Dean in Cochise county, and only a few weeks ago, this writ was made permanent by Superior Court Judge Laine, and the contempt cases dis missed. Upon a final hearing before the grand jury all charges were dis missed by that body.

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.

The Grand Jury which has been m session for eight days finished their work on Wednesday and submitted the following report:
 TO THE SUPERIOR COURT FOR
 THE STATE OF ARIZONA In and for the County of GreenIee
 We, the Grand Jury, duly empaned- ed and sworn to inquire into all mat ters that might come before us, beg leave to submit this, our final report, as follows:
 We have found ten 1O) indictments for felonies committed, six (6) indict- ments for grand larceny, and one CD for murder, also five (5) discharges.
 We have inspected the various oe- fees of the county government and beg leave to submit the following recommendation and findings:
 Inspection of Jail.
 We find the jail building in a dilap- pidated condition, and unsafe for priS- oners, unless they are sufficiently guarded, and would recommend that the Court see that this is done We also find the books kept to be in good condition, and kept in an orderly man. ner. We find that the prisoners are taken as good care of as the present conditions permit, but would recom- mend that the new jail be finished as soon as possible, and placed in use as soon as accepted. We also find that there is insufficient water pressure at either the jail or Court house for fire protection, and also that the water rate is excessive. We would recom- mend that the Court take this matter up with the Water company, and if not satisfactorily settled, that the Corporation Commission of the state of Arizona be asked to investigate the said water company. We also reconl- mend that one CD small room be kept in the present jail for the incarcera- tion of minor offenders after the new jail is in use.
