HOW MORENO PROVED SATISFACTORY AL|B|
Story of the Strained Relations Be. tween B. Fiqueroa and Jose
 Moreno.

B. Fiqueroa and Jose Moreno were before Recorder Thomas yesterday on the charge of fighting. F'iqueroa was found guilty, fined and the sentence suspended. Moreno was liberated The results were not so all import ant as to make the world wonder but was unusual.
 FiquerOa said he accOsted his ad- versary calling him by his right name which is not Moreno; that he did not hit him though he might have done so, because Moreno fled and stumb- ling fell in the ditch roofing his nose in the ground. thus securing the abra- siOnS he exhibited to the court. Dues toned as to what right he had to interfere with MOreno's using any name that suited him. FiquerOa ad- mitted that his real animus was deeper; that Moreno stole his clothes two years ago, and is now parading himself before society under a false name He wanted to expose him and his croOkedness to a criticizing world; also he has never got done worrying about the good raiment he lost.
 The next witness was the officer who arrested them and who declared that whether they were fighting or not. both men were piled in heap on the ground, striking at each other.
 Then came Moreno. He declared he had been mauled around regard less and that without cause: that he was an honorable and upright citi- zen; that his name is and always has been Moreno; that he never stole any clothes of FiquerOa. Better vet he said he could prove an alibi for two years ago he was serving a sent ence in the peniteentiary and couldn have stolen Fiqueroa's clothes if he wanted to.

STOKES MURDER CASE
 IN SUPERIOR COURT
There Was a Plethora of Theories Of
 Self Defense

A case which was argued on appeal in the state supreme court yesterday is one which has attracted cOnsid- erable attention through Arizona. The appellee in this case is Pleenie Stokes of Miami. Gila county, who in Feb ruary, was convicted in the Gila county court of murder in the first degree for the killing of Deputy Sher- if Woods. and sentenced to be hanged
 The fact of the homicide was not disputed; but it was claimed that the prisoner acted in self defense When the case was before the trial court the defense also sought to show that the killing. which was done with the officers revolver in the hands of Stokes, was accidental. The court ruled that under the law these de- lenses were in conflict and ordered the defense to elect upon which it would proceed to trial. Stokes at torneys claim their client was preju- diced by the courts ruling. It is also claimed that the jury was prac- tically instructed to bring in a yer dict of guilty.
 Stokes is represented at the hear ing before the supreme court by Ben nett, Kibbey and Bennett and the case for the state is in the hands of Attorney General Bullard. The court has reserved it's decision.

Cheap Loans for Farmers.

The house should by all means pass the joint resolution-already passed by the senate-providing for the ap- pointment of a commission to investi- European cooperative credit organi- cations, the object of which is to se- cure loans at a low rate of interest. The resolution has the support of the state department, various farmers or ganizations, and the national none tary commission.
 France, Germany and Italy have all made remarkable progress with coop erative credit systems. One of the most successful of these systems, as might be expected, is in operation in France. The Credit Foncier of Paris, among it's other functions, acts as agent for French farmers. These farmers. instead of raising money di- rectly by giving mortgages on their farms to private individuals or local institutions, place the mortgages with the Credit Foncier, which issues bonds on these mortgages and sells them all oyer the country. This gives the farmer a lower rate of interest
 than he would have to pay under the old arrangement
 There are several rural cooperative credit systems in operation in Ger many and Italy. In Germany, under one system, the business done in 1903 amounted to over S1,0O0,000,0 ,000. 'In some respects" says a pamphlet on the subject, these foreign co-opefa- tive systems do for the farmers what the American building and loan asso- citations do for persons of small means in towns and cities Farmers as class are heavy borrowers, and It Is right and proper that they shouto have the benefit of any system that 1 will facilitate the placing of loans and
 make the rate of interest as chheap as possible.

A Primary Law.

While nobody is desirous of pro- i longing the legislative session, it may ! be hoped that a workable primary law may be put through in the few remaining hours. It is regrettable that this important matter was not given the time that has been con- stunned by such measures as the pur- chasing agents bill, the newspaper publicity bill, and many others. Our present primary law is not a good one from any point of view ex- cept that, of those who honestly want to see party lines obliterated or that of those irresponsible voters who switch from side to side and find in the primary system two markets for their votes instead of one
 If a man who votes at a primary, whatever his previous party affilia- tions may have been, could be forced to support the ticket nominated at the primary, one of the objections 
 It is proper for a man to change his politics unless he has been hired to do so.
 But it is not proper for him to take part in a primary to assist in foisting upon a party a candidate distasteful to a majority of the party. as the democrats of Oregon have twice done.
 But it is obvious that voter can not be compelled to vote a ticket he has helped nominate, but he can be compelled to declare what he will do when he attends the primaries or he may be aligned definitely with some party at the time of his regis tration.
 Against this we hear the sentiment tai objection that such an arrange ment would be violation of the secrecy of the ballot. cloak in which only towards and weddings array themselves.
 The secrecy of the ballot was not provided for towards and weddings, but was adopted as precaution against corruption. so that the pur- chaser of votes could not know that the votes were delivered. The ar engagement we have suggested would not violate that purpose
 Another objection has been that if voters were to declare their party affiliation it might put them in bad odOr with employers or superiors. There is little danger of that The employer as rule does not care about the politics of his employees. As Speaker Bradner yesterday, in re- lating his experience, stated that in his long service as an employe of the Southern Pacific, no inquiry had ever been made as to his politics and no attempt had ever been made to influence his vote.
 As a matter of fact, either the em- ploye's employer or his superior or his companions know his politics if he has any politics. A declaration of political affiliations will not hurt the honest and respectable voter, though it will interfere with the plans of the cowardly or corruptible voter.

PLAN JAUNT TO
BALTIMORE AFOOT
Attache of Norwegian Legation and
Assistant Secretary of Treasury
Will Tramp Together.

A walk 10 Baltimore and back is the
pleasant weekend jaunt which Wilhelm
%horleif de Munthe de Morgensteirne, at
tache Of the Norwegian Legation, and
Guy Emerson, private secretary to As
sistant Secretary Of the Treasury Cur
tbs, are TO take.
They will leave Washington at dusk
next Saturday night and reach Balti-
more, which is approximately thirty-five
miles away. as Mr.. de Morgensteirne and
Mr.. Emerson will travel, early the next
Baltimore they will turn again home, and
DO the thirty-five miles back to Wash
ington. They expect to reach Washing
ton about dark next Sunday night.
The seventy-mile go will not be an
International race. Mr.. de MOrgen-
steirns will not try to fash the Norwe-
gian colors ahead Of the Stars and
Stripes, and Mr.. Emerson will, with the
same modest forbearance, maintain Old
Glory at its proper status OF comfy un-
der the most favored nation clause Of
ratified seventy-mile-go treaties. The
days journey will be what the sage and
sprightly DOdO. in Alice in Wonder
land calls a Caucus race, where every
body wins and everybody gets a prize.
Such a walking match will necessarily
be an endurance test. however, and both
entries are sedulously training. OF course.

Thorleif de Munthe de Morgensteirne.
"A good name is better 10 be desired

says Mr.. de Morgensteirne. in whose
name there are just thirty-eight letters,
three more than the number OF miles in
each lap OF the course he and Mr.. Emer-
son will cover.

SAYS ALASKA Is
NOT GOLD BRICK
Delegate Wickersham Says Pur.
chase Has Proven a Good
Investment.

Salient truths regarding the most
northerly possession OF Uncle Sam
were delineated last night by Dele
gate James Wlckersham, Of Alaska,
in an illustrated lecture before the
members Of the National Press Club.
In his lecture the speaker did not con-
fine himself merely TO lauding the
beauties OF his country, but went fur

were Of great interest
One humorous situation arose when
Mr.. Wickersham concluded a thrilling
story Of an effort made by him and
some friends TO climb Mount McKin-
ley.

the speaker. and neither has any one
else. not excepting DR.. Cook" u
An effort was made by the delegate
to convince his audience that the
United States did not get the short
end in the purchase Of Alaska in 1857.
To prove his assertion, he said;
For the S7.50OOOO invested by the
United States in its purchase OF Alaska,
and the additional S3o.OOOOOO spent for
maintaining its possession, II has re-
ceived in actual cash from Alaskan pro-
ductions, more than S44O,OOOOO That is
why I ask the cooperation OF patriotic
Americans in our EFFORT to establish our
The ignorance OF the average citizen
about all things concerning Alaska, is
deplorable enough. but when We find
leading statesmen who have little knowI-
edge OF affairs in that thriving territory,
It is a calamity. One member OF Con-
gress informed me recently that Dawson
is in Alaska. while a President Of the
United States once referred TO the Klon-
dyke as part OF Alaska"
The members Of the club who were
fortunate enough to attend the lecture
heard a prediction which. II IL comes TO
pass, will revolutioniEs the commerce OF
the world. Mr.. wickersham declared
that he has not a doubt in the world

is art needlework more speedily en-

A Guests Comfort.

A guest thinks more OF comfort ans
Of cheerful surroundings than of mere
beauty and elegance in the room set
apart for her use; and in furnishing
the guest room these matters should
be given due consideration. The room
should be airy. cool in summer and
warm In winter, and have every conve-
nience that belongs to a sleeping apart
ment and sitting room. There must be
a shelf for books and magazines. Old
magazines may have a place in the
guest chamber as they are full Of half
forgotten things one likes to be re-
minded OF.

Washington, where he was a frequent
visitor. His chief architectural work here
were the Union Station and the new city

Only the simplest sort OF jewelry

Mother-of-pearl jewelry is essentially

travelling clocks? They are as fiat as
square envelope, yet the watch it COW
ers is an eight-day one, warranted TO
keep time
Flat clocks which can be carried in a
small handbag have been used, but they
were not eight-day affairs. Besides the
added convenience of not winding each
night, the face of the clock, in different
coIors of enamel to match the leather,
is exceedingly artistic. Some have Il
