 Closely following this discovery a telephone conversation with the sher- ifs office brought the information that the young fellow had been seen during the day at Congress Junction. At least the person in communication with the officers claimed to have seen a youth answering the descrip- ton given in the Republican yester- day morning.

LOCOMOTIVE
 TON MILE USED
 BY $. r. SYSTEM
Chief Statistician Peabody of Santa Fe System Pre- sents Wonderful Array of Figures and Arguments
 in Three Cent Fare Case

Claiming that the locomotive ton mile is the logical basis of calculation in arriving at any conclusions regard ing malntainance of way and track upkeep James Peabody, chief statisti- elan for the Santa F'e system, yester day submitted the most complete methods and formula for the division of operating costs that has yet been presented in the three-cent fare hear ing
 The arguments presented by Statis- tician Peabody constitute one of the strongest arguments yet made against the revenue car mile basis, which has been one of the main points urged by the commission since the case opened.
 MT. Peabody, who is one of the best known accountants in the country, presented a system of division of op- erating costs between terminal and line and between freight and passenger traffic that is carefully worked out in every detail. It provides for the appli- cation of actual tests and has been aD- piled on the Santa Fe system in sev- eral states. The results of a three months test in Arizona, and a five months test in Oklahoma and Missou- ri were brought up and made part of the record.
 We consider the locomotive ton mile the fairest basis for calculation" said Peabody in the course of his testimony. "The revenue car mile has never been considered, to my knowledge The reason for this is that the wear of car on the track varies with the length. as well as with the relative weight, which is greater in the case of a pas senger car than freight car.
 The engine ton mile is the product of the weight of the locomotive in working order multiplied by the speed.
 The faster the train the heavier the locomotive required to haul it. We seek always to apportion an engine of the necessary weight for the hauling of a train of a certain weight at the speed required"
 That the expense of track uplaeep is increased by reason of passenger traf- fife was one of the points brought out in the course of the examination. Per feet alignment and perfect surfacing of track are necessary for high speed passenger trains" said Peabody. "A track in first class condition for freight traffic might not be in condi- tioin for passenger traffic at all The nOsing of heavy locomotives destroys

HAYDEN

The copper company Is contem- plating the erection of a magnificent club house at Ray. The plan has not yet taken definite form but there is small doubt that it will be carried out in the near future. The proposed site of the structure is on the noun tainside just above the tennis court. Here it will command a splendid view of the canyon below wherein the town and plant are located.
 The Ray Cons and Shelter ball teams are scheduled to meet on the local diamond next Sunday afternoon. A splendid game is promised as since their last pepaarance the smelter lineup has been materially strength ened by the addition of several crack players including a pitcher who is one of the best. It is conceded that the Ray Cons. boys will have to play the game from the start if they are to uphold their past record of invin- cibility.
 Robert A. Cook of Ray was over for few hours Wednesday evening.
 D. D. Moffat, superintendent of mills, returned Saturday after a va cation of several weeks in Salt Lake City. While away he also visited the Chino Copper Company at Hurley, N.

Moffatt, who is connected with the banking firm of Mccormick & Co. in Salt Lake City After spending a few days here MT. G. s. Moffat left Wednesday going overland to Tucson by auto. He was accompanied as far as the old pueblo by D. D. Moffat, Lewis Bailey and G. H. Wilkinson. Jr., the party making the trip in the big touring car of Manager Gates.

the alignment of the track, while the pounding of the drivers on the rails at high speed has a very destructive eff feet. Each locomotive is counterbal- anced for a certain speed, and when you increase the speed above that fig ure the pounding becomes an import ant matter. On account of the con- centratiOn of weight on the drivers, we consider the weight of the engine the determining factor"
 The system of accounting submitted yesterday by MT. Peabody is far ahead of any data of the sort as yet submit ted in the case. It divides costs of operation and maintainance as directly as possible between terminal and line expense, and between freight and pas senger business, and has been used as basis of accounting by the interstate commerce commission and the supreme court in making decisions in railway cases.
 Mr. Peabody was on the stand for direct examination in the morning and cross examination nearly all afternoon. G. w. Oliver, his assistant took the stand at 3:30 for direct examination, and his examination will continue to- day. The Santa Fe will probably not complete it's case before the end of the week

MANAGER ]. J. GLASS
 ARRIVES IN PHOENIX
New Head of Columbia Theater
 Meets Old Friends Here

Joseph D. Glass, erstwhile of Den ve., Colo, but now on the spot to cast his fortunes with Phoenix for better or worse, who will take charge of the Columbia theater in this city as soon as the transfer from Man ager Sidney Hart can be made, blew irto town last night, and into the arms of Art Rick at one and the same time. Having been cronies in Fl Paso in the good old 'usterwas, the two immediately decided to get in touch with still another former Fl Paso cronie and so to the music paid their respects to City Editor Huggett of the Republican. A short session of the Do you remember" club was in order right then.
 Manager Glass will be a distinct addition to the fraternity of newspa per and theatrical men in the city. He has been and is both. His man. age-ial experience extends over quite a period of years and the success banner has been tied to his opera tions more than once. He is expect ed to add to the already great vogue of the Theater De Luxe.
 Amiable, easy of address and ap- proach, MT. Glass makes friends with the rapidity of a politician. He is a man of refinement and education, young, energetic and original. He has a hard place to fill in succeeding Manage Hart-who is one of the best fellows imaginable and a friend maker as well as an able theatrical man, but he enters the job With a smile of confidence.
 The Welcome to our fair city" sign will soon be blowing in the breeze whenever MT. Glass goes down the street

PORTION
 0F ARGUMENT
More Speeches Today and Case Will Go to Jury Be- fore Night-Trial Now Rapidly Drawing to a Close

Another day of trial still awaits Mamie MullanaX. The case was not
 completed yesterday contrary to the general opinion. At that, however, the day was not as hard a one as many have been, largely because of the lntermissionS that Were taken for the purposes of accommodating coun- sel. This accounted for an inter- mission that lasted from about II o'clock in the morning until o'clock
 in the afternoon, when the testimony in rebuttal and the final touches of the defense had been put on. There was not much of this and it took but ia couple of hours of the courts morning time. For the defense Dr. w. Warner Watkins was on the stand in corroboration of Dr. Monical, relative to the physical condition of the deceased.
 The state attempted to introduce further testimony at the hands of Mrs. Whyte but was excluded from so doing upon objection by the de-
 fense and the courts action in sus- taining the same Then came the re-
 cess.
 At the reconvening of the court, after short time Assistant County Attorney Candy led off for the state with an argument that took about fortyfive minutes. The court room was packed in the hope doubtless for something sensational in the way of the discussions of the evidence, but in this they were doomed to dis appointment for MT. Candy while de- livering a forceful logical address, made no allusions to anything that might be termed sensational. He beg ged the jury to allow their reason to sway them rather than their senti- ment in the decision they must ar rive at, and dWelt largely upon the unnecessary visit the defendant made to the place the last time contending 1 that because the visit was unneces- sary the killing must therefore have been premeditated. He asked for a verdict in accordance with his view of the case.
 A forceful speech for the defense
 was made by Alexander Baker, son of Judge A. c. Baker, chief counsel 1 for the defense In a resume of the story of the tragedy he emphasized the hardships in the married life of the girl defendant, bringing out sev- eral strong points of argument. The premeditated murder argument he op- posed by emphasizing the girls "hav- | ing applied to the shreiffs office, where, being a stranger to the town, | she might reasonably expect help,' and from her having first inquired of the witness Whyte as to the state of mind of her husband before she dared enter the tent home alone. Counsel dwelt upon the continual terror Mamie MullanaX held of her husband. It was this terror that had induced her to protect herself with a gun since police protection had beeen denied her, he said It was with the instinct of self preservation seen in the animal at bay that she pulled on her husband as he rushed ask merely for sympathy. but for the only verdict that an unbiased consid- eratiOn of the facts of the case could call for.
 At this point the rroceedings were adjourned until 9:30 this morning.
 Further argument will be presented today the jury charged by Judge Phillips and the fate of the friend- less girl left with them.

W|GC|NS TRIAL
 UP THIS WEEK
Texas Doctor Who Shot Ranch Hand Early on the Morning of April s Last, to Face Opening of the Case Soon

According to the present plans of Judge Phillips of the Maricopa coun- tv superior court and of County At torney Lyman, the trial of Dr. l.. E.. Wiggins for the killing of Tap Booth on sugar ranch near Tempe early Wednesday morning, April last, will be taken up as soon as the jury re- tires to deliberate upon the MullanaX case now before the court. The task of getting a jury is the first matter to be attended to, and already a number of additional jurors have been summoned in order that no time may be lost in completing the panel. The continuance of the case last Monday morning was until Thursday morning so that it is expected the court room will be filled this morn ing with veniremen.
 Wiggins is charged with murder. He claims the unWritten law as his defense and tells a story that he fol- lowed the man-Tap Booth-all the way from San JOuaquin, Texas to Phoenix in order to kill him. He
 
 the name of Burton near Tempe and early on the morning of the homicide approached the tent in which Tap lay and assuring himself of his man emptied his pistol into his sleeping foe.
 Wiggins has retained Reese NJ. Ling to defend him. and has brought his wife here to be present at the trial. Since the incarceration-Wig gins gave himself voluntarily into custody after the shooting-he has been quietly waiting trial.
 Immense excitement has been cre- ated in the little southeast Texas town over the killing and orders for the Republican containing accounts of the trial have been sent for, to begin with the first days story. Booths parents and relatives are here to look after the interests of the dead man, but they express con- fidence in the ability of the states attorney to handle the case.
