4 FEDERAL JUDGE NEEDED AT
 ONCE
CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS TO PRESIDE AS ALTER
 NATIVE
Judge Morrow Popular Here From
 Previous Services.

PHOENIX, March 13.-Unless Presi dent Wilson makes an appointment of a federal judge for the district of Arizona in a very few days, Wm. Nor row, judge of the United States Cir cult Court of Appeals, the ninth dis trict, will, on the 18th of the month open and hold court in Phoenix. This report is not official, but comes from a source which is practically so.
 Judge Morrow is well known in Arizona, having presided over the federal court in this district last spring, when he made some decis- ions relative to Arizona matters which attracted a great deal of at tention and brought the jurist's name into the calcium Among these de cisions written by the Judge was the one refusing to grant the negro porters an injunction against the of the full crew bill. This decision was handed down by the court but a few days ago.
 In the absence of a regularly ap- pointed judge for this district, Judge Morrow is welcomed by the bar of the state and by all those having any business before the court.

FORMER LOCAL. JAP KILLS WOMAN .
 AT GLOBE

Henry Ninifiki, former Japanese resident Of Phoenix, who was employ
 ed at the Ford hotel for about five years, killed Mrs Virginia Lee McAfee aged @, at Globe early Wednesday morning by cutting her throat with an
 oriental dagger. He then tried to commit hari-kari but was prevented by several, parties who were aroused by the screams of the woman
 Because he was forced from the Van Slack rooming house, where he believ- ed he had been living, the Jap went
 back to the place at 4:30 o'clock We'd nesday morning, gained admittance co the place and killed Mrs. McAfee. Ninifiki was intoxicated when he e1 o'clock in the morning. He was ous[- ed by one of the roomers. Two hours later Mrs. McAfee was awaken ed by loud knocking on the door. Without lighting lamp, she opened the door and refused to rent a room.
 roomer heard a scuff1e and found the lifeless body of the woman lying in corner of the room. The aged wo- mans throat was cut from ear to ear. Ninifiki was bleeding from huge cut across the stomach. It is believed he was in the act of disemboweling him. self when his hands were pinned to his side by a roomer.
 The coroner's jury returned verdict of first degree murder. Before going to Globe, Mrs. McAfee lived in Saf- ford, where her husband died three years ago.
 For a long time while resident Of Phoenix Ninifiki roomed and boarded with J. R. Dye, 123 West Jefferson street. He left Phoenix for Globe last November or December.

LAND COMMISSION WOULD OFFER
 POLICY
Suggests Permanent Policy Be Not
 .s.i Down for Soole Time.

The state land commission recom mends that the legislature do not, al this time, adopt permanent policy affe ;ting the administration or dispos ton of school and other state lands
 This recommendation is induced by the following facts: Tt has been impossible for the commission, in the limited time since it's creation, to make such an examination of the vestigation of the many conditions and considerations involved, as are comprehended by the law, and as, in it's opinion, are essential to the for nation of a fixed and definite policy, based, not upon theory, but facts. The work is being carried forward as rapidly as possible, but in view of the other urgent duties of the com mission, it is apparent that it can not be concluded under eighteen months.
 Tt is obvious that wise and equitable scheme for determining the rights and satisfying the equitable claims of lesses occupying improved school lands under lease from the ter ritory, should be worked out, before other complications are permitted to arise, or other obligations, moral or financial, incurred by the state. As was foreseen by the legislature, such finite knowledge of the various con- tentions of the lesses and careful investigation of their work This in- formation. will be acquired in the course of the commissions investiga- tions
 Tt is pointed out, in this connec- ton, that such. loss as may be sus- tained by the state by reason of the lying idle temporarily of such pro- portion of the school land as has not heretofore been held under lease, will be insignificant compared with the loss that might accrue from the adoption of an immature and errone- ous system for handling them, or even from the premature adoption of a system that, if inaugurated in or derfy and sequential %' manner, would prove wise.
 Not little eagerness exists on the part of many residents of the state, and in many quarters, for legislation which will permit the securing of school lands by lease or purchase, but ill the opinion of the commission, the natural legislative temptation to re- quite this eagerness. should not, in the interest of the state. at this time be yielded to-

CAMERON IS NOT IN POLITICS AT
 PRESENT
But lie Remains Faithful to c. o. p, Which He Insists Is Still Alive
 and Sure to Win in Future.

| TUCSON, March 11-'I am a Re
 publican because I believe in Republi-
 can principles and I will never change
 my belief, not for the highest office in l the land. I will always be a Republi-
 can no matter if I am the only one in l the state,'' declared Ralph Cameron, former delegate for Arizona in con-
 gress. MT. Cameron has been here attending the meeting of mine opera tors and was appointed member of the committee to draft constitution for the organization. He leaves to- day for his home at Grand Canyon
 MT. Cameron denied that he was a prospective candidate for governor, on the Republican ticket, next year. Some time ago there was boomlet among Republicans to get MT. Cam eron to make the race but he says there will be nothing doing.
 T am a Republican and I will al- ways be in politics in that I will work for the Republican party but at pre- sent I am devoting all of my time to mining and expect to continue doing that. I will say frankly that I am not in politics now but will not commit myself to the statement that I am out of politics.
 .'What future has the Republican party in this state?" was asked MT. Cameron.
 Of course the Republican party has a future, not only in Arizona but in the United States. Not only that but the Republican party will win in Arizona in the next state election. There is no question but that they will have ticket in the field
 '1s that optimism or belief?'' the reporter asked.
 That is my candid belief he re- piled. "The Democrats are facing a split which will be just as bad as the split in the Republican party and you know it, but I do not expect you to print it. In the next state election and in the next national election the line up will be the Democrats and the The Bull Moose is only temporary. I am a progressive and believe in progressiveism. It is the natural result of new conditions
 Republicans consider MT. Cameron one of the party's strongest assets in the state and, as stated, he has been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor but he denies that he was ever consulted regarding the matter and says that he is mining man.

CHAPTER K.
On the Road.

On the Road.
 The general never went anywhere without a wellstoeked library, guide books, instruction books, maps Ali were consulted long and often. and with a childlike faith that Henrietta's sarcasm and the sign-posts had not been able to shake.
 Bartlett knew of this unfortunate tendency of the generals and resolved t0 get rid Of those books and maps and papers. With every mile indicated and nicely tabulated, every turn and landmark mentioned, 1t would be ai- most impossible to get of the beaten route, and they must avoid telegraph stations and post offices as much as possible. The success of the scheme lay in keeping Batchelor away from all touch and communication with the city. They must, if possible, get lost, and with the multitgdinous books and maps they would not be able to. There fore, they must get rid of the books and maps
 When they had separated to pre-. pare for the trip. Bartlett returned hastily to the garage No one was in sight except a strange chauffeur loung- ing in the doorway. Bartlett collected all the literature from the generals car and hsstened back to the hotel. Surreptitiously. he entered an empty room near the one assigned to him and when he emerged again. his arms were burdenless and be was smiling gently.

And that morn ing, hungry, shabby, unshaved, he had been content to lie in the sweet lush grasses of a chance meadow, under butternut tree, with the conviyial James and the corpulent Mike, He crossed one well-pressed silken leg over the other and saw by the way side, lounging in the shadows, waiting for the car to pasG, the two. James and Mike-Mike fat, red-faced, dirty, his frowsy hat pulled aslant over his small, bleary eyes, shoulders bumped from. long habit in cold weather. toes coming out of his boot ends; James, clean shayen, but otherwise no better dressed, no cleaner, both chewing to- bagco with the thoughtful rumination of the cows watching over the pasture bars at the end of the wooded lane
 Billy Dudged the Watermelon to call his attention to the two weary figures by the wayside-
 Poor fellows" said Henrietta soft ly, lest they hear her.
 The Watermelon glanced at them in lofty disgust and catching James eye, his own iickered the fraction of an inch and he raised his hands languid- ly to adjust the brown silk tie at his throat. When they had passed. he turned and waved graceful farewell. He explained to Billy as they swept on into the deepening dusk:
 You might as well encourage the poor fellows. They probably want to ride as we'll as l." And Henrietta fancied that possibly his father had looked thus on a Sunday, in the pulpit of country church.
 "Yes," agreed Billy. 'They may be perfectly dandy fellows"
 "Assuredly," laughed Henrietta. ''The stout one fairly radiated truth and nobility. a manly, upright youth"
 T don't care" declared Billy warm ly. You can't always tell from ap- pearances. You ought to know that, Henrietta. Clothes don't make the man."

 Friends of mine," said he. T go there every fall"
 The general rose to get his blue book. We will look it up" said he.
 Bartlett stopped him. The town was not in the book. He knew, for be had tried to find it.
 "The maps will do." said the gen sral. who liked to locate every town visUally on the maps or in the books before he undertook to motor there.
 Desperate, Bartlett declared that 1t was not on the maps. But the general would not be daunted. They could put it on the maps themselves if they knew in which county it was, near what post office
 We don't want to locate it," said Bartlett, growing stern and cross of a necessity.
 They found the cars waiting at the steps and a small crowd to see them of and vile away the time before sup per.
 Bartlett said. as he knew the way, he would lead We need only two cars. Mir. Batchelor's can can be left until we return"
 Three cars might come in handy protested the general, who objected to every suggestion. not his own, on prin- ciple.
 'Why?" asked Bartlett coldly.
 "Mr. Batchelor might become offend ed at us and want to ride by himself" suggested Henrietta, laughing.
 "Yes," agreed Billy. who. though young and charming, was sometimes lacking in that reserve that should have stamped her fathers daughter. He and dad are fighting each other now on change"
 Henrietta flushed, the Watermelon laughed and the general looked pained at the thought of any possible lack of congeniality.
 My dear Billy" said Bartlett. '.the third auto would be extremely handy for you and your tongue, at least"
 Billy glanced miserably from one to the other. 'Why, daddy. you told me, yesterday"
 'T have told you many things" said Bartlett, both yesterday and the day before"
 He took the general by the arm and gently but firmly thrust him into his car, getting in himself and taking the wheel The young folk could ride in the tonneau and Alphonse follow in the generals car with the luggage.
 The cars started down the hill in the first sweet flush Of evening. Birds were going to bed with noisy upbraid- ings. A few cows at the pasture bars watched them pass with great stupid, placid eyes. jaws going slowly. myth raically as they waited for The milk ing time.
 The Watermelon leaned back ID the deep soft cushions of the big car and smiled a smile of calm and peace and comfort. The car ran smoothly. noise lessly. little breezes laden with the sweetness of the approaching night
