MAN WANTED FOR
MURDER IS CHARGED
(From Sundays Daily

The capture OF man wanted Tor
murder who has been searched for
over the entire continent was II
fected yesterday when Deputy
Sheriffs Fred Bartlett OF Ash Fork
and Joe Young OF this city arrested
and brought TO the local county
Jail II. D. Suhr. an l. w. w. worker.
Suhr is one OF the two /. w. w.
workers charged with melting the
riot among the hop pickers At
Wheatland, Cal. which ultimately
resulted in the fatal shooting OF
the county attorney and deputy
sheriff on August 3, 1913
The news of that riot spread all
over the country Its many fea-
lures OF tragedy, coupled with the
presumption that |. w. w. work
ers were at the bottom OF it all
led to a rigid investigation. Then
it was determined that Shur and
another /. w. w. worker named
''Blackie' Ford had melted the riot.
A public meeting for the 1000
strikers was called to be held in
the streets OF Wheatland, the seat
Of the strike In the midst of the
proceedings several parties of Off
GERS made their appearance in auto
mobiles. In the riot which followed
the county attorney and a deputy
sheriff were killed and several 9th
eT officers dangerously wounded.
Immediately after the inquest the
warning 10 keep upon the lookout
for the two !. w. w. workers was
sent broadcast. Shortly afterward
"Blackie" Ford was captured in Cal
! ifornia, but no trace OF Suhr could
| be found.
Circulars giving descriptions ol
the wanted man were sent all over
/ the country Several were received
here. One reached Deputy Sheriff
Bartlett al Ash Fork. Three days
ago he noticed new man at work
as Waterman at the plant of the
Grand Canyon Lime and Cement
/ Company. Investigation coupled
with another clue derived from d
secret source soon convinced Bart
lett and Young, who had beer
brought into the investigation, that
they were upon the right track. Both
officers swept down upon him wher
the arrest was made No resistance
was offered and Suhr was immedi
ately taken from Nelson where ht
was employed to Ash Fork, twenty
two miles away.
After practically spending two
sleepless days and nights OF watcf
over his man during the journey
Deputy Sheriff Joe Young delivered
the prisoner here
Sheriff George II. Voss of Yub;
county, Cal, in which WheatlanC
is located, has been informed anC
an officer dispatched to come here
for the man. Suhr has waived
extradition.
The Suhr capture ended a weel
of activity upon the part of the
local sherif7s office. Within ont
week were traced and captured f
H. Douglass of Jerome at Beaumont
Texas; F. T. Tennyson of Bisbe'
at jerome, and Suhr at Nelson

An Absent Member

One of the tests that to the temperance
leaders in the assembly is indifference the part of
a few members who have heartily welcomed sup
port at the primary and election. It tries patience
have them so easily forget their obligations to the
cause The time is here when it is not enough for the
friends of the Anti-Saloon League merely
their votes right when they have been corraed
for the test We must have friends like many of our
number who have made great personal sacrifices to be
hand when bills called UP to be voted
upon. The lines are closely drawn these days be-
tween the vets and drys at Springfield With every
member in his seat who able to be present,
just secured the seventyseven necessary votes to give
constitutional majority for the residence district
bill Had one of these been away the bill would
have been defeated in the house. So argument is
necessary to prove to any constituent that every
should be present unless he has good excuse. If
man is absent he votes against the bill.

district was the only dry representative who abb
sent without the last day of the session
One of our measures was hanging a roll call on

The Residence District and Blind
iger Bills

1ger Bills
The residence district bill passed both houses of
the Forty eighh general assembly, The reason it will
be written upon the statute books of the is
because of the fact that influence moved Speak
Mckinley to upset all legislative precedents in
fusng roll call on minor amendment. There
at least eighty votes in the house for concurrence
The vicious German perpetual license BILL heartily
supported by Speaker Mckinley, was given three
hearings during the last three days of the session
The gavel was given to "Boss" Mclaughlin on Friday
afternoon when last futile effort was made to pass
this dangerous measure. Mr. Mclaughlin was the
man leading the fight for this bill in the house. 1t is
not often that man is permitted to preside when his
own measures are up for consideration. Mr.. Nc
Kiney who had voluntarily pledged himself to give
square deal to the temperance people of the state
after having given these three hearings to the VETS
refused to permit single roll call the residence
district amendment This roll call would have placed
the bill on the governors table.
A similar fate reached the blind tiger bill which
passed the senate than week before the close
of the assembly and over to the house. but the
speaker deaf to the pleas of Representative Will
to give him recognition that might be advanced
to second and third reading. Enough votes were
promised in the house for this measure to insure its
passage. An identical bill was already on third read
ing in the house.
These two bills, by having a constitutional ma
ority in both houses, should become laws the first of
July, and would do so were it not for the unfair &C
lions of Speaker Mckinley.
It is up to Mr.. Mckinley to answer the question
to the people of the state of Illinois that Senator
Keller, the floor of the senate, asked Senator Eft
elson to to the senators present concerning
the killing of the anti-cgarette bill in the words
GLOW much did you get for it?'
The defeat of the liquor trafic's pet measure, the
German perpetual license bill, and the sentiment
shown by the general assembly passing these other
measures gives warning to all engaged in the liquor
trade that the balance of public opinion is settling
more and more against them. These achievements on
the part of the temperance people of the state is the
handwriting on the wall

PREPARING FOR
new SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the &C
commodation of the largely increas-
ing number of settlers coming in to
occupy the agricultural districts of
the three prairie provinces. There
we're those connected with the work
Of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year,
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures of
10000 could be increased Recent
computation made by the officials Of
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be reached. AS great an
increase will be shown in the figures
of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits of the years work In Canadian
immigration will give upward of a
total of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when it is realized what is offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
in the coast province of British Co
lumbia, which is also bidding strong
ly and successfully, too, for certain
class of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por-
ton of this province is opened up by
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been mace
of late by those interested in develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada,
high officials in some of the railways
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of it. What the
farmer thinks of 1t and what his
friends say of it. James A. Flaherty,
supreme knight of the Knights of Co
lumbus, was in western Canada a
short time ago. He says:
IF / were young man I would
sell out my interests in less than two
months and come right to the Cana
dian Northwest, where so many OPP

car was upon him. then numbered

instant Of its passing there appeared,
beneath the lifted curtain and quite
near his own face, the face Of the
singer Of yesterday; and from pale,
agonized lips, as if with dying breath,
she cried, Help, help!"

had its number, which might lead to
something At the Waldorf the car
slowed up, and the cab came within a
few yards Hambleton made up his
mind at that instant that he had been
mistaken in his supposition of trouble
threatening the lady, and looked mo-
mently to see her step from the car
into the custody of those starched and
