STATE WITHDRAWS ITS
 FILINGS PUBLIC LANDS

PHOENIX, Nov. H. Notice was received at the office of the surveyor general of notice of withdrawal of several applications by the state for entries and for the elimination of other filings that had been made of unsurveyed lands. In this connec- tfcn. the state made application LOT land that, if prosecuted, wou-S have intensified the unfriendly relations between this government and Mexi- co. The land for winch application had been made was so near the boun- dary line in western Yuma county tEat it was on the other side Of the line. It was unnecessary for the sui yeyor generals office to take action on the applcat5-n for withdrawal ln this case.
 The applications withdrawn are for the fO' lowing described lands. Town ships aui 1, range II west; town ships 2 north, range s and west; township 2 north, ranges and : west; townships north, ranges 6, [ and 10 west: townships 4 north, ranges 6 and II west; townships ; north, ranges 6, : and 8 west; town ships south, ranges 9, 10, II and l2 west.

INDICTED FOR MISUSE
 OF BIBLE LANGUAGE

PHOENTXE Nov. 14.-Fetcher A. Baker of Globe, has filed a demurrer in the United States court to an in dictment found against him. The matter was argued late Saturday.
 The oTense of Baker was sending through the mails post card to Miss Jennie Lass of Fl Paso. Baker whose ideas of the scriptures were rather hay wrote on cue side Of the card. "Bible, see Tenth Commandment" and then he proceeded to a quotation of the Seventh Commandment
 It was the contention of Judge Baker that the language itself is not improper or unmailabIe and that it will be sorry day in this country when the Bible in whole or in part cannot be sent by mail. The United States attorney took the ground that :he use that the defendant made of the quotation, sending 1t publicly to be read by postal clerks aud carriers was calculated to injure the reputa- ton Of the woman to whom it was sent. Judge SawteIle took the mat ter under advisement.
 The greater part of the afternoon iH federal court was devoted to the
 setting of cases. Judge Sawteile has been summoned to San Francis co by the ninth circuit court of ap-
 peals and will be obliged to leave or November A. He would not un- dertake the trial of any case that would likely be interrupted by his de- paTture. The case imminent before l the court was that of J. B. Alexander, former Indian agent at Sacaton who was before the court a year ago on aH indictment containing forty counts. i He was promptly acquitted on those counts on which he was tried and Oth-
 CTS were dismissed until now only nine remain. In the opinion of Judge Sawtelle the case could not be con- cluded within the three days that would be at his disposal and accord insly he set it for November 24.

LAURA BECGAR WILL
 FIGHT FOR FORTUNE

JERSEY CITY. N. j.. Nov Il.--vicc Chancellor GrlffiG, sating in Chan cery Court. today toak up for caring the casr of Laura Biggar Bennett who at one tme was well known actess. against the executors of the estate of her husband, Henry M Ben nett. When the settlement of the es- tate, which was worth nearly s2,O00.- U00. began, 1t is said that the actress agreed to accept s240,00o as her share, and has received a large part of this amount She is now endeayor- ing to recover the remainder.
 Laura Bigear's fight for the Bennett estate has for more than ten years been sensational in the extreme. Starting lie on the stage about twen- ty five years ago under William A. Brady's management. Miss Bsggar marr.ed an actor named Richardson and after diyorcing him married to James Willis Mcconnell. Later she became the wife of Burt Hayerly, an actor. While she was playing the widow in "A Trip to Chinatown" she met Henry M Bennett, millionaire owner of theaters in Pittsburg and BISloklyn.
 Bennett even then was so cd as to be decrepit. His attentions to Miss Biggar resulted in trouble with her ! husband. As a result Hayerly secured divorce. Miss Biggar then left the stage. where she had made her most decided hit as Iza .n The Clemen- | ceau Case" and became the nurse and companion of Bennett
 On April II, 1902. Bennett died, and Miss Bennett was left 50 per cent Of his estate under his will. Not con tent with this settlement Miss Big gar, who then called herself Mrs. Bennett, put in claim for the en- ] t5~e estate on the ground that she was
 Rtunett's widow following this claim charges of conspiracy were brought against her, together with pr. Charles c. Hendricks and Samuel Stanton, formerly justice of the peace in Freehold, \. J., where Miss Biggar was living at the time.
 Stanton was brought into the case | because he claimed to have married | Bennett and Miss Edgar, and a mar riage certificate signed by him played an important part of the affa'r Dr. Hendricks was Miss Biggar's physi. elan. and the proprietor of a sanitar- ! fum in which 1t was said, was born i the child which Mss Biggar claimed | g9 te Ire post huInous child of Ben nett, and which played an important
 part in the litigation.
 The conspiracy charge against the three resulted in the jury at Freehold ] flnding Hendricks and Stanton guilty
 and acquitting Miss Biggar. As ar i aftermath Of the affair the wife of nr. Hendricks sued Miss Biggar for
 alleged alienation of her husba" Is l affections.
 In 1903 and again in 1906, it was 1 reported that Miss Biggar, or Mrs | Bennett, as she has since been known ! had agreed to accept a settlement of her claims against the Bennett estate At one time it was said she had re i ce.ved S62O.OO0 and at another time the amount was placed at SiOo,0o9. li is certain that at various times 21e
