TWO AR|z, SENATORS
ARE TRUE TO
TRUST
Smith and Ashurst Stand Firm On the
Underwood Tariff Despite All Ef-
forts To Sway Them.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 80
Many senators from sugar producing
states are utilizing every available
argument with Senators Smith and
Ashurst of Arizona to prevail upon
these gentlemen to vote against the
sugar, wool, lumber and beef scbed-
ule in the Underwood tariff bill, but
the Arizona senators, while realizing
that all industries enumerated in the
above schedule are representative of
Arizona interests, propose to vote for
the tariff bill as a whole and give the
consumers the benefit that will come
from a reduction in these commodi-
ties.

SUES WIFE FOR PROPERTY.

GLOBE ,Ariz, May 2O.-A peculiar
and uncommon suit has been fled in
the supreme court by Joseph II.
Knight against his wife, Susia knight.
The plaintiff, Joseph H. Knight, was
declared insane sometime ago by the
Probate court of ella county and was
confined to the asylum. He alleges
that while insane and before his in
generation, he executed a deed to
certain property of the value of 81
500 to his wife, and that he executed
the deed against his will and at her So
licitation. Knight further alleges
that at the time of the execution of
the deed his wife intended to abandon
and desert him and since his dis
charge from the insane asylum she
has refused to live with him. The
complaint asks that the court set
aside the deed and declare it to be
null and void upon the ground that
the plaintiff was non compos mentis
at the time of the transfer. A. c.
McKillop represents the plaintiff.

DISCOVERIES AMAZE

That the defalcations OF Charles +.

National bank, told yesterday in the
o'clock edition of The Call. will reach
the enormous total of not less than
5000, 600, was brought to light yesterday
when the full extent Of Bakers pecu-
lations was made public by investigat-
ing officials
No less amazing than the theft itself
is the condition laid bare that would
permit a series of shortages to con-
tinue undiscovered over a period of
four years in bank as large as the
Crocker National bank or that would
allow to go undiscovered for any
length of time theft eventually reach
ing such an enormous figure.
RANK WILLING TO DROP 1T
Added TO the unaccountable failure
spf bank officials and examiners of the
Crocker National bank to suspect the
theft that was being perpetrated. there
developed yesterday not only a will
ingness by the bank officials to re-
frafn from prosecution. but an at
tempt, as well, to dissuade federal
officers from instigating criminal ac-
tion against the defaulter.
The preliminary federal examination
of several months continuance, that
was concluded yesterday. raked up and
throws a glaring light upon the big
gest financial scandal ever developed
on the Pacific coast.
1t hints broadly at laxity OF methods
that viii demand more than the mere
prosecution and punishment OF the
victim. caught in the tolls, and of
criticism of a system that would per-
nit the man guilty of his trust to es-
cape after his theft had become known
and admitted by him.
GAVE HINT MONTHS AGO
Two months ago Baker gave the
broadest hint of his own guilt when.
upon the visit of a client of the bank,
he refused to discuss business matters,
saying:
I'm too nervous to do anything to-
day because the bank examiner is
here"
Still. no notice of the condition OF
the books under Bakers control was
taken by the bank officials.
Yesterday the disgraced assistant
cashier is reported to have said to those
permitted to see him at his home:
ADMITS IT'S TRUE
Every bit of it is true. I fell be-
cause Of the temptation / was con-
stantly subjected to. One day a man
