killing the warden and three other Of
ficials, met death today in farm
house near Gretna, Neb., after a des-
perate battle. Gray and Morley were
killed by the officers and Dowd COM
mitted suicide.
After a long flight, in which they
were hotly pursued by the posses, the
three convicts dashed into the home
of Mrs. Bricker, near Gretna this af-
ternoon while she was telephoning the
authorities Of their approach. They
wrenched the phone from her hands,
made her a prisoner and then barri-
caded the house. The officers then

met death.
SOUTH BEND, Neb., March 1S.-
The three convict murderers who es-
capped from the state prison at Lincoln,

hardware store at Murdoc, stealing
guns and ammunition. were seen near

officers have started in pursuit.
Murdock is twenty miles east of

to the whereabouts of the men were
found, are confident of effecting a cap

tanned overalls, shirts and pair OF
prison shoes. The overalls correspond
with those taken from the Dickman
home, two miles from the prison

the men are trying to make their way
to South Omaha on the handcar.

victs captured boy driving wagon,

is ONLY OF VALUE
IN A FEW COUNTIES
Republican County Chair
man Robbins Says 1t Is Ab-
surd to Apply Such a Law
to Wayne County.

That the registration law passed by
the 1911 legislature is practically Of
no value to Wayne county and that it
will be big item in election expenses
is the opinion of Will J. Robbins, Re-
publican county chairman. and Lewis
Bowman, county auditor and member
of the central committee.
Albeit they admit the value of the
law to counties along the river and al
SO in the northern part Of the state,
they declare that it was almost folly
to pass an act which will force every
county to an additional expense as
this law will do. They say the law will
do little if any good toward securing
less corrupt elections in Wayne and
many other counties.
County Chairman Robbins declared
that he can see but little value of the
law as it applies to Wayne county. He
says that for the past six years the
elections in this county have been free
from corruption and that the law plac-
es an unnecessary burden upon the
taxpayers.
VOAI I'D" 0SQuITSS.
In estimating the cost of such a
registration, Chairman Robbins declar-
ed that it will reach at least $1,000 and
might run up to $4,000. The law re-
quires that three officers be stationed
at each precinct polling place in the
county and that these polls may keep
open for nine days. These men shall
draw a salary at a rate of 81 per day.
AS there are sixty-four precincts lin
the county this item of expense will
amount to several thousands in ad.
dition to cost of supplies, rent, etc.
The law is all right, l believe, in
cities and towns along the river In the
southern part of the state and in towns
in the northern part of the statezwhict
are near Chicago" said Mr.. Bowman
this morning. But as far as Wayne
county is concerned the law is of little
value.
Other prominent members of both
parties declare that the law Is absurd
when it is applied to towns like Cen.
terville, Cambridge City, ETC., these
politicians declaring that in the small.
er towns there is no need to compel
every voter to make the following writ.
ten application for registration: my
name is John Doe. Reside in Precinct
No. 3, Center township, Wayne county,
Indiana, on the land Of Richard Doe
l was so years Of age on the 10th day
of January, 1912. was born in Ohio. -
1t is believed that the 1911 Assembly
should have placed the law in force
only in such counties and such parts
of the state where such law is
needed-where the influx of foreigners
is greater than in this county.
The May session of the registration
board in this county will be held May
3. Two other sessions will be held
during the year, on September and
October Z.

Mir. Hayden had not expected to leave Phoenix before Saturday. but his successor in the office of sheriff was sworn in Wednesday. In this connection a funny incident occurred. the incoming sheriff Is Jef Adams, known all over the territory. Ths oath was to be administered by the probate judge who was just then wait ing his term to become ertinct. The clerk of the court prepared the form of oath and used the expression
 'Sherin of the United States" That was too comprehensive and he chang ed 1t to the Sheriff Of Arizona" That still covered too much territory and when he changed the form again to sheriff of Msricopa county" MT.

bOL|N SLATED FOR POSITION
Bisbeeite Receives Tele gram from Governor and Goes to
 Phoenix
ERRAND NOT KNOWN

lC is the prevalent belief in Bisbee that Jack Bolin will either be mine inspector or that there is another ap- pointment in store for him which will be effective sooner than the mine in- spectorship This belief Is accentuat- ed by the fact that Bolin has gone to Phoenix. not of his own monitlon but summoned by a telegram from Gov ernor Hunt. Beyond the fact that he had been summoned to Phoenix by a telegram and left on Thursday morn ing nothing was known ln this city yesterday.
 After the campaign ended with democratic success Bolin was promin- ently mentioned for mine inspector. indeed in Bisbee 1t was considered that he was practically certain to be appointed. Then came the rumor that R. B. Sims of Douglas was to be made head of the penitentiary and doubt was expressed that two such important offices ak warden and mine inspector would come from the one county. An announcement as to the meaning Of the summoning of Bonn to Phoenix Is therefore awaited with interest here.
 The first appointments made by Governor Hunt were those of K. R Sims as Warden at Florence and Lam sr Cobb Of Clifton as state engineer.
 The appointment of Sims was fore casted by The Review several weeks ego. Following such forecast there were rumors of others as possible ap- pointees for the position and on its heels came the announcement from Hunt that he had announced to no one and would not do so until after inauguration but no denial Of his then intention to select the Douglas man for the position. The appoint. nent of Cobb was generally expected and of late no one save he had been mentioned for the appointment.
 From Phoenix also comes the ad- vice that when the corporation com missioners met they selected ". P. Geary aS chairman
 On Thursday in Phoenix 1t was re- ported that Bradner had withdrawn from the speakership race and shortly alter midnight yesterday a query was received as to the authenticity of the report which brought a denial in time for publication in the Phoenix morn ing paper.

Knox, and Secretary Meyer of the Navy probably will support President Taft behind the scenes, apparently taking but little active part in the actual campaign. Secretary Meyer has A reputation for marked ability Tn the raising of campaign funds. and if as signed to this work will probably conduct the end of the campaign de- voted to dollar diplomacy" but will do little stump speaking
 From a careful review of the cabl- net of President Taft it is seen that he will have no easy labor before him in effecting the organization of stat which can be depended upon to do team work with good results.

the pale of law with impunity is 8 card in his favor.
 stimson Drawing Card.
 The newest recruit to the official family Of President Taft, Henry L. Stimson, secretary of war. is expected to attract to the Taft standard many supporters of Roosevelt who might otherwise defect. Stimson Is the rec ognized representative of Roosevelt ism in the Taft cabinet. It will be re- membered that he was the colonels choice for Governor Of New York, and Is strong in the Empire state. But the fact that William Barnes, Jr., has shown some Of the enthusiasm of Stimson's New York support, will serve to knock down some of the scores checked up to his credit.
 Franklin MacVeigh. secretary of the Treasury, and Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the interior, are both high in the good graces of congress and are considered safe and sane by the people. consequently they add 6 most conservative strength to the Taft cause.
 To Mr. Fisher has fallen the legacy of the Pinchot-Balllnger controversy which ragged about the conservation policy of the administration. With this and the matter of the Alaskan coal lands and Con-ro,ler Bay. MT. Fisher Is in a position 10 take some action at any time calculated to show his hand before the people. It is be- lieved that the burden Of his song when he appears on the stump will be conservation"

INJUNCTION GRANTED
 IN PARTICULAR CASE
Real Estate Ordinance in Other Instances Is
 Not Criticised

Judge Fred Sutter Of the superior court yesterday issued an injunction enjoining the city of Bisbee from CT. forcing Ordinance No IT against the Hoffman Bros. Loan and Trust com pany of Salt Lake and A K. Kisse!. burg, a Bisbee employe of the com psny.
 Ordinance No. IF is an ordinance regulating and taxing agents and sub agents of real estate concerns en- gagged in selling real estate not To- cated in the county of Cochise, state of Arizona. 1t was passed at re cent meeting of the city council aud becomes effective tomorrow morning.
 The application for an injunction 10 prevent the city from enforcing the provisions of the ordinance against the plaintiffs in the action heard yesterday, asserted that tho real estate being sold by the plain tins in Bisbee, while not located in Cochise county, was the property of the plaintiffs and that therefore the plaintiffs were not in the business ot real estate agent" or '%sub-agent. The court apparently concurred in this view, as it was on this presenta. ton that the injunction was granted.
 The validity of the city ordinance, however, Is in no wise impaired by tte granting of the Injunction and its only effect will be to relieve the plaintiffs Of its operation. The city of Bisbee vRs. represented al the hearing by City Attorney Ed J. FlsnIgau and the plaintiffs by George H. Neale Of Bis bee

TOMBSTONE, Feb. l6-(Speeial)-- Days are long and busy yet all tco short tor the business to be done by the new county officers in organizing for their term Of office.

Walter Bailey jailor at Lowell and Martin Walsh court officer.
 Judge Sutter Names Two.

 old Officers Hold.
 Upon the advice of Attorney Gen. eral Bullard and District Attorney Gilmore the board of supervisors holds that there was no election as to precinct officers. Where a vacancy exists, as is the case at Lowell and in one of the Douglas precincts, the board will appoint the choice ex- pressed by the people but in other cases the officers now in power will hold on. This produces some peculiar situations, one justice Of the peace who was beaten al the primary re taining the office.

A Matter of Investigation
By HOP

A rather amusing story b being told by a Japanese gentleman in connection with the late Emperor of Japan.
 As we know. the late Empsrcr was yo- garded with the greatest veneration v his subjects, and it appears that thia attitude of awful reverence was main tained also by his ministers in spite ol the fact that affairs of state made ( necessary for them to see him and coar verse with him very frequently.
 One of these ministers, the Marquis Matsugata, used to experience agonieo of nervousness every time he had an au. dience of his sovereign, and he was never able to say anything distinct in re- ply to him except the set phrase: T shall have careful investigation made, your majesty.
 This generally brought him safely through a short audience, but one day unfortunately the emperor condescended to discuss the marquis's more private affairs.
 How many children have you?' the emperor asked
 Back came the inevitable phrase: T shall have careful investigation mada. your majesty
 The story loses nothing from the fact that the marquis had very large faru- ily indeed.

What They Got Besides

From Pearson's Weekly.
 Somebody recalled the other day that pr. Aked was one of the late General Booths firmest supporters.
 Once, during very severe winter, Dr. .Aked appealed to his congregation for funds to provide poor children with break fasts. A considerable sum was sub scribed. and pr. Aked arranged that some thousands of free meals would be pro- ,ided at the Salvation Army barracks 10 the children in the neighboring slums.
 After little. complaints began to reach pr. Aked We povide the money" some body grumbled, ''and the Salvation Army gets all the credit
 They may get the credit" retorted Dr. Aiken, but they also get the fieas! If you want the first in this case you've got to take the second. sss z. ss.
