FEDERAL COURT TERMS;
 FIXES PLACES
Order Made by Judge Saw telle Designates Dates for Terms of Court for PhOe- nix, Tucson, Prescott and Globe

Judge SaWtellc yesterday made the formal order carrying out the act of congress fixing on Phoenix. Prescott. Globe and Tucson as places at which to hold federal court sfttings for the district of Arizona.
 Juries. and cases to be tried at Prescott will be drawn from the counties of Apache. Coconino. Mo- have, Navajo. and Yavapai; at Phoe- nix from Maricopa. Pinal and Yuma: at Globe from Graham and Gila, and at Tucson from Cochise. GrcenIee. santa Cruz and Pima.
 The fact that the business of the court is not heavy enough to pay d clerks deputy for each of these places makes it necessary to arrange head quarters for the documents and their keepers in Phoenix and Tucson. The permanent offices of the clerk are of GciaIly established at Phoenix and deputy's office will be maintained at Tucson. Prescotts records will be kept at Phoenix and those of Globe at Tucson. In this way the salary of the office-being it's in- come from fees. will maintain the enc deputy necessary to keep up the second establishment.
 All records relating to cases aris- ing in the various sub- districts as outlined above will be kept as indi- cated al one or the other of the two main offices. Until Globe and Pres Cott develop enough business to make it necessary to keep records there transcripts will be taken from the Tucson and Phoenix records for use : { the terms held in the two northerr cities.
 The order is of great interest not only to the men who have cases be- fore federal court but to United States commissioners. lawyers. pos sihle jurors and others

operations against Spain. the volun- teers at once began to demand their discharge from service, using, to ac- complish this purpose. every political and local influence. Until the signing of the treaty of peace and it's approval, the United States was not obligated to grant this discharge, but in many cases was glad to do so in order to reduce the military budget. In other instances. particularly in the case of the volun- teers who had been sent to Cuba and Porto Rico to replace the regulars brought home after the battle of San tiago the government was greatly em- barra ssed and hampered. However bv the time that the treaty of peace with Spain was signed. practically all the volunteers in Cuba ond Porto Rico had been replaced, by regulars. and had been brought home and discharged, the government thus complying with the terms of the inlistment contract. Tn the Philippines this could not be done. and the government was compelled to break the contract made. and hold to service. through series of battles, for six months beyond the terms of such contract, the volunteers sent to those islands.

no sign of life. He was Just about to an

PROMOTING A GOVERNOR
From Mere State Executive to Presi-
dent of Baseball League

Governor Tener of Pennsylvania has
been elected to the presidency of the
National League of Baseball Clubs at a
salary of $4,000 a year and has ac-
cepted. The governor has said; I'm case
1 accept the presidency of the league
will not resign as governor, nor will
1 give my undivided time to the league
for the balance of my term as gov
ernor."
These are noble words. says the New
York World. They breathe somethin e
CT the dignity of the early years Of
the republic, when governors of states
were not tempted by baseball presl-
denotes. When John Hancock was gov
ornor of Massachusetts he so highly
upheld the prestige of the office that
he would not yield precedence to any
President. not even to George Wash
ington. Many statesman of national
repute resigned from the United States
Senate to return to his state and be-
come a candidate for governor. The
office, indeed, affords opportunities for
statecraft and public service that OF
old were greatly esteemed by men Of
foremost weight and worth in pollt-
ical life.
Much has changed since those old
days. Governorships have been on the
verge at times of being put on the

have used them stepping stones 10

They have often been reproached
with having no initiative. but this
little story shows that there is no foun-

Cazemajou and Interpreter Olive were
sent on a mission into the district be-

small escort of Senegaliah riflemen.
They were ambushed by the Sultan
of Finder and assassinated. The native
