 The report declared the Board Of Control as at present constituted to be a one-man affair and that Auditor Cal laghan was never consulted in the mat ter of purchases. To correct this they introduced a bill providing that the citizen member should be replaced on the Board by the Attorney General.

 When the House was arranging to grill the Governor, the Senate adopt ed resolution addressing several pertinent questions to the Corporation Commission enquiring why they delay in securing, better street car accom- modations in the capital city and also whether the Mountain States Tele phone company would at an early date be required to improve their service.

PARTY RENDERED OLD
 TIMER
Wnn. Burke is Given Hearty Send of By Large Gathering of Friends
 Saturday Evening.

Probably never in the history of Clifton has one of the old timers re- ceived more stirring and enjoyable farewell reception than that which was accorded Wm Burke, who left Sunday morning for New Mexico where he will reside in the future on his ranch. MT. Burke has been employed by tn. A. c. company as machinist off and on for the past thirty years and his departure will create void among his fellow workmen which will be sadly felt His genial nature and numerous acts of kindness, often veil ed in obscurity, will always be remem- bered by the many friends he has made here in the past three decades, and the best wishes of his host of friends follow him to his new home.
 The farewell entertainment given ir his honor was held in the Carroll was attended by large crowd of fel- low workmen and others who have known him for many years, the old timers being we'll represented. An abundance of delectable refreshments was served during the evening and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent Violin music was fur nished by that veteran of the bow, Col. Lafave,, and without him the enjoy ment of the evening would have lost much of it's flavor. He was accom- panied on the guitar by different mem bers of the gathering and all the old time tunes were rendered. Songs and dances were also a feature of the evening, those participating in these stunts being Bob Cooper, Jack Cham bers, Wm. Forbes, Archie Morrison and E. J. OLeary, the latter gentle man perhaps being the star perform CT of the evening, his recitations and songs making a decided hit.

: A Resume of the Case.

The case of John B. Goodwin, which is mentioned in the Washington dis patch above, dates back to the ter ritorial regime and has hung fire in different ways for many months Goodwin, in company with another man, murdered two young men of the San Carlos reservation about two years ago. He and his companion were tried by Judge Lewis in the United States court at Globe at the time. Goodwin was found guilty in the first degree and sentenced to hang. The companion was given life and is now in Atlanta.
 All Efforts in Vain.
 Thomas Flannigan of Globe has acted as Goodwin's attorney through out the case, and has exhausted every effort to save his client, The case was first appealed to the su- preme court of the territory, which in the meantime went out of exis- tence. Inasmuch as it was a United States case, the c-ime being commit ted on an Indian reservation, the ap- peal was taken to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco, and last fall the judg- ment of the lower court was af- firmed.

 No Execution at Florence
 Goodwin was at first sentenced to be hung in the state prison at Flor ence. Governor Hunt, being adverse to capital punishment, refused to al. low the execution and again the matter was delayed. It was thought, be hung in the county jail of Pima county at Tombstone, but the super visors of that county were petitioned by some of the residents of the town and again Goodwin's fate was delayed. He was taken to Prescott and held for some time.
 In the month. of. January Judge Richard E. Sloan sentenced Good win to hang in the county jail of Gila county at. Globe on the four teenth day of March. All .prepara- tions have been made for the exc on for several weeks and the scaf- fold prepared

 The Attorney General, according to that official, will send a copy of the report to the District Attorney of this county, and it will be for that official to decide if an arrest is to be made.
 Anti-Hunt members of the House claim the Governor is no better than any other individual if he has violated the law and his act approving claims for the payment of goods bought from stores in which he is interested makes him a law-breaker. They are out spoken in suggesting that Hunt should resign his office.
 The report is also reviewed condi- tions at Benson reform school which

for said institutions without advertis- ing for bids, receiving the same and letting contracts thereon.
 Such procedure is in direct viola ton of the provisions of chapter one Title 56, of the Revised Statutes of Arizona, 1901, and of the law rela- ting to the conduct of the State Pris- on. The Board of Control has full charge of the charitable, penal and reformatory institutions and must purchase all supplies for the same. The purchasing of these supplies must not be left with the superintend- ents or heads of the several institI- tions. The law provides that in all purchases in excess of S100, the Board of Control shall advertise for bids, receive the same, and let con- tracts for said purchases, with the exception of emergency, in the case of the State Prison, $15O worth of goods may be purchased without ad- vertising for bids, and letting con- tracts thereon.

BOARD OF CONTROL BILL |S INTRO-
 DUCED
Provides Attorney General With Membership and Salary; Cuts
 Out Citizen Member.

The provisions of the new board of control bill, introduced on Satur- day in the House of representatives, Nincited much comment among the members of the legislature yesterday. Both the members of the admins tration forces as well as the antis took occasion to express themselves quite freely. Under the provisions of the bill, the board of control which is given full charge of the public institutions and grounds or the state, is to be composed of the governor, the state auditor and the attorney general As the board is at present constituted it is composed of the governor, the auditor and the cit izen member who is appointed by the governor. The citizen member is the secretary of the board and draws salary for the conduct of this office.
 Under the bill as suggested, the secretary will not be a member of the board, but will be elected by the board because of his peculiar fitness. He will act as purchasing agent of the state for the institutions, but is responsible to the board proper for his conduct, and makes no purchases except upon the approval of the board. The salary of the clerk as greater salary than the present cit zen member gets, and equal to the commissionerships
 There is another change in the bill that is quite radical. This provision makes the attorney general a mem Der of the board, but it also pro- vides that he shall receive a salary of S20O per month for such service, but it prohibits him from engaging in private practice. This will raise the stipend of the attorney general from $2500 as now provided in the con stitution to $49O0; making him the highest salaried officer in the state. This section also has another eff feet. 1t enables the legislature to indefinitely postpone the Johnson bill making the salary of the attor- ney general $3600 per year and pro- hibiting him from engaging in pri- vate practice.
 The friends of the administration say the present system is all right, that it makes the governor the re- sponsible party of the administration as he should be- The friends of the bill say the present law places too much power in the hands of the gov ernor whereas the proposed bill re- duces that power and places it in the hands of three men instead of one as heretofore.
 Whatever is the final outcome of the present disagreement between the forces, right good fight is pre- dicted in both house and senate upon the bill. The proposed measure was introduced by the committee on state institutions and public ex- penditures of which both Craig and Jacobs are members. In the former sessions of the present legislature two board of control bills, one each by Craig and Jacobs; These bills passed the house and were killed in the senate. It is said the present bill will meet the same fate

Verdict Spells End Of Supreme Court Case Against Justice Sneider of WinkeIman Now Pending

He OIu or AFlZOIld won victory this week.
 The supreme court this week hand ed down an opinion in the justice pre- cinct case reversing, the decision of Judge Sutter of Cochise county and holding that justices of the peace cleo ed in November, 1908 shall serve until their successors are elected at the next general election. The mat ter before the court was the case of M. c. High, justice of the Bisbee pre- Cochise county attempted to oust and name his successor.
 In the opinion the court holds that the office of justice of the peace is Ia constitutional office and the legis- lature could not abolish it.

 act in regard to making new pre- cincts in counties. In each new pre- cinct made it was necessary to ap-- point new justices or the peace. The board of supervisors in the separate counties received instructions from the attorney general to redistrict the precincts. And this was done.
 Case of State-Wide Interest.
 The case originated in Cochise county when Justice of the Peace M. c. High contested the action of the legislature on the ground that the statutory provision was unconstitu- tional. The Superior Court of the county held the precinct law to be constitutional and the old precinct officials appealed the case to the su- preme court, maintaining that they could not be legislatured out of office until the expiration of their term.
 A similar case was started in Mari copa county and the attorneys also filed briefs in the supreme court. The Cochise county precinct officials re- ceived financial assistance from pre- cinct officials of the old regime from all over Arizona and interest in the action of the supreme court was state wide.
 The demurrer which was filed to the complaint of District Attorney Gilmore, which was overruled by Judge Sutter was sustained by the supreme court and the lower court was directed to find in favor of Judge High Judge Ross wrote the opinion with Chief Justice Franklin concur ring and Justice Cunningham writing a special concurring opinion.
 In this county only two officers are effected. J. M. Lally, at present Jus tice of the Peace at Morenci is busted and B. K. Williams, former Justice of the Peace will be re-instated by virtue of the decision.
 At Duncan Sherman Stewart will resume his duties as Constable.
 These are the only two offices eff fected in this county.
