POWER EXPECTED HARM
FROM SOME CIRCUS MAN
"Maricopa Slim" Was Efficient and
Greatly Feared Peace Officer

Mike Sheehan lies between life and
death IN the Jail infirmary at Florence
from the effects of four shots from the
gun of "Maricopa SLIM" Deputy Sher-
iff John C. Power, who himself was
shot dead in an effort to settle race
riot on the circus train in the depot
at Maricopa, in the early hours of
Thursday morning.
AS reported exclusively in The RI
publican of Thursday, the train carry
ing the company and apparatus of the
Barnes circus was being shunted in
the Maricopa depot about 80 a. m, q
negro hobo attempted to get aboard.
Meehan and other white members of
the company attempted to throw the
man off the train. The two closed and
Power was called to stop the fight
Drawing his gun, the officer called to
Meehan to throw up his hands, and
on his refusing to do so, pulled on him,
putting bullets in the mans arm and
chest. Meehan fell, and a fourth bull
let lodged in his thigh. simultaneously
a gun was fired and Power dropped
mortally wounded with bullet in the
lower part of the abdomen.
Eye witnesses of the affray say that
Meehan as he lay on the ground, pulled
two guns in turn and fired on the off
Ger. During the day, however, Powers
had spoken of a character well known
to him, and who well knew him, being
with the circus company, and had said
he must be on the watch for the man;
and there was no evidence that could
directly lay the firing of the fatal shot
to Meehan. Some witnesses assert that
it was fired from another part of the
train and hold that Meehan never
pulled gun.
Power died in three minutes after
the shooting. in the special train in
which he and Meehan were being
rushed to the railroad emergency hos
pital at ella Bend. Meehan was later
taken To the infirmary at Florence.
where he now lies. The colored hobo
was held and taken to Florence to await
inquiry into the circumstances The
body of "Maricopa Slim" was brought
into Phoenix and now lies in the Whit
ney undertaking parlors.
IN Il tune oi CONSCIOUSNESS III the nos
pital Thursday Meehan declared that
he Was not carrying a gun at the time
of the dispute. and that the shot that
killed the officer was fired by some
one else on the train.
John e. Power was picturesque
character OF Arizona. Throughout the
state. and indeed. the southwest. he was
known as "Maricopa SLIM and his
record for swift action in keeping the
peace in his capacity of deputy sheriff
made him a man to be feared by the
lawless hombres. But withal he was
respected by all as diligent and eff
cient peace officer. He leaves a widow
and two children with their home in

canvas laborer. is a man of about 40
years, and his home is st. Louis, Mis-

To Explain to Judge
Pistol and 0aths in

J. NJ. Masters, an insurance agent,
Of No. 1l3 South Gordon street. West

IN police court Monday afternoon
why he frightened the dinner crowds
in the rathskeller of the Hotel Ans

flow Of vituperative language direct
ed at Manager J. f. Letton.

drunk and dsorderly and with car
rying concealed weapons. His bond
was fixed a. $500.
Masters entered the rathskeller
about $50 =. m. with Miss Gordon

bel and SANDER. He even stated
that he had employed former Mayor
VIM to prosecute the case Has
anybody ever heard of him taking
such action? mol | have no hest
fancy in saying that / believe every
word that Davidson stated. I will
60 further and say that l would be-
heve Davidson's statement, with the
records to back It, in preference to
Cummings oath, for. as far as 1t re-
CARDS him in this matter, | would
not believe anything ne would say,
on oath or otherwise.
In all / have said bearing upon
Cummings and his record, / have
used sworn evidence and the rec
ords in the City Hall and elsewhere,
and | reproduce what | had to say
of him and his methods in my an
hual message TO the General Council
on the 9th instant.
a very grave question that came
before the Investigating committee
was the fact that X. T.. Davidson
gave evidence on the witness stand
that he had made Chief Cummings
present of $500. There was no
one to. deny this but Chief Cum
mings himself. l am candid to state
that absolutely believe every word
that Mr.. Davidson uttered in this
regard; The only question in my
mind is as to whether it was a
present or a direct trade, as the
records Of the city and bank de-
post denote the latter. The com
mittee of investigation. if it had de-
sired, could have investigated the
RECORDS In the Comptroller's office.
Graft VIII Be Stopped"
Cummings is very sore over the
fact hat the purchases for his de-
partment, as well as all other de-
partments, have got to be made by
requisition and through the Pur-
chasing Department. He will not
pull off any more hose deals. But
the city will get competitive bids.
He will find out that the charter
puts certain duties upon the Board
Of Firemasters. and that he will not,
in the future, be permitted to AFRO
gate TO himself the duties and re-
sponsibilities that belong to others.
For all of this he blames me, and
for which the city will save thou
sands OF dollars. I am very proud
TO carry such a load in the interest
OF the people.
As | have stated on various occa-
sions, l found the city struggling
under nearly $500 900 of illegal obli-
cations, promised the people that
! would get the city out of that
hole and place II on a sound bust
ness basis, and l propose to redeem
that promise, and the mouthings Of
blackguards will not intimidate or
deter me. for I am satisfied that in
the performance of that task l have
the approval and Endorsement of all
people whose good opinions are
worth having, and I care not for
the ill-will of grafters and black
guards.
I desire to again assure the peo-
pie that | regret the necessity of ap-
pearing In the papers in this man
ner, but 1t seems necessary in this
instance And 1 further assure the
people that where there is graft, or
the appearance of graft, It will be
exposed and stopped. There is but
one place for grafters, or men who
are untrue to their public trust, and
that Is the changing

Los ANGELES EXAMINER,
IN 112-PAGE EDITION.
TELLS Of C|TY'S GROWTH

greatly immigration to Southern Cal
ifornia and stimulate it's commerce.
How Canal Will Help.
That Los Angeles is the nearest
port TO one-fourth of the United
States, for the Panama Canal trade,
and that Southern California is
brought by the canal practically a.
close to Southern Europe as is New
York, are two Of the striking state
ments made in this connection.
1t Is asserted that cheap fuel oil,
ideal climate and good ocean and
rail transportation combine to make
TINS section the most promising man
ufacturing district in the country.
Stress is laid upon the home
building in Southern California, $3.50
new residences having been erected
in Los Angeles city alone last year,
Not only were all building records
broken but the bank clearances. pos
tai receipts, school attendance and
all other tests Of progress and pros
perity were greatly in excess of pre-
vious totals.
Many Resources Latent.
Los Angeles County is declared to
be the first, now, in wealth and pop
ulation In the State II contains
more than one-fourth OF the taxable
wealth Of California. 1t is said that
it still has large undeveloped re-
sources in agriculture and commerce.
The Examiners special edition de-
votes particular attention to the COM
pletion OF the great Owens River
aqueduct. 233 miles long. which will
deliver. 25S, 100000 gallons of pure
mountain water a day, more than suf-
ticient to supply a city of two mill
lion inhabitants. When the city pow
er plants on the aqueduct line are
completed. Los Angeles will produce
enough electricity to meet all de-
mands within its urban boundaries,
with the exception of power for
street cars.
Never have the resources and ad-
vantages of Los Angeles and it's trib-
utary sections been set forth more
fully and more attraCtively than in
this special edition of The Examiner
a fact which has met with instant and
hearty appreciation.

j. s. INSISTS ON
DUE POWER IN
SEA TREATY
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

LONDON, Jan, 12.-Senator ].
Hamilton Lewis, recently. appointed
vice chairman of the committee
which is drawing up a treaty to be
passed upon by the delegates to the
International Conference on Safety at
Sea, now in session in London, to- day
told the Hearst papers:
1.-THE leaders of the conference now
realize for the first time that the
American delegation will not consent
to the placing of anything in the
treaty which would prevent the
United States from enforcing the full
powers of the treaty. 1t seems to be
the idea here that IL a British cap
tain violates a provision of the treaty
while in an American port he is al
swerable to a British court only. My
colleagues and myself have deter
mined to see that the treaty will be
| SO drawn that 1t will give the United
States jurisdiction over all who evade
Its provisions. 1t looks now as though
| there would be a fight before we gain
| our point,
Il believe that bright prospects are
In store for the United States. The
currency and tariff bills will be the
| means Of putting the country on a
basis OF secure prosperity, which will
| be founded on actual Developments and
not speculation. We now face an era
Of greater prosperity than we have
| enjoyed since the war between the
States.
Il watched with great interest the
activities of Mr.. Hearst during the
| Mendil Bells trial, and consider his
work at Kieff one of the factors in the
gratifying result. In view of all Mr.
Hearst has done in recent years, l
want to say that whatever differences
any man may have with the political
policies Of Mr.. Hearst, they must all
| be waived when it comes to the con-
sideration of him as humanitarian
| In the cause of humanity to man and
| justice to nations Mr.. Hearst has be-
come world bel efactor.''
