Fan-Folk of Phoenix Will Get Treat When Sena- tors Meet Braves in Prac- tice Game-Arres to Op- pose Krause on Hill

To supply the fan persons of Phoenix with a little week Gay excitement Frank Baum. manager of the Solons has secured ana WA play game with the United States Indian School team Saturday afternoon at Grant park.
 It was only yesterday that Baum thought up this brilliant scheme for working out his Senators The team is advancing so fast [ at it must have work or it will go stale. And beside. there are many who would like to satis- fy their curiosity as to the relative Rctnen.
 The Solons will have to bat against one of the phenoms of the later days. Ares, the clever Mission Indian. who made such . record in the Indians school game the past season. He has an entirely new form of hurling to anything the Phoenicians have found so far They will be puzzled. perhaps, defeated by the very fact of their ig- norance of his methods
 Ares is only about 19 years old. Cn- fil MaDag ger Nennc Of the Braves mt him in as substitute in school game last month. he was unknown-a mere b.ncher out of the horde of young In ditns who have followed the team. He aid so well in his first game that Ven ne used him again. He licked the Nor mals ir both the games so far played, holding the hard sticking Tempe team tp few hits and but three runs He came near scoring q shutout in the last game.
 Raum will probably start Krause.
 The opening of the half holiday sea- son on June 1. will give baseball a tre- Wendous impetus. The schedules of the Central Arizona league will then be revised to include a week day game fur each Sunday contest and the gol- d"n coin will start to roll into the roll af the poor managers. The debts of the early season will commence to be cleaned Hp. and things will be getting rapidly better in the financial way.

The main portion of the blaze paved hide and seek between cellar and cell ing, in walls, under floors. around cor ncrs, until. by series of lucky shots and by sheer weight of water, it was quenchcd
 The fire started back of the I!n- perial lunch room. It was evidently originated among the crates and bar rels that had carried produce to the restaurant. It climbed the porch sup ports and gained the back office rooms. Smoke poured through the of- fees, blackening their contents. which were later rendered still more dis reputable by the water. Not d single blaze entered the lunch room. which was also filled with smoke. Next to the lunch room was the Owl barber shop, just across the stair entrance. The chairs and equipment were dragged into the street and saved from da 1l- age by water and smoke. The Valley meat market was similarly deprived of it's fixtures by police and specta- tors.
 Groups of men and women in deshabille filled the streets. In one corner was observed woman count ing her jewels by the light of match held by a spectator She had them tied up in a handkerchief.
 There was no loss of life and no one hurt, for the fire was discovered
 in plenty of time to prevent casual ties.

CHIHUAHUA. April 22.-Replyng to telegram from Bryan. General CarranZa telegraphed that the United States was not justified in occupying Mexican territory.
 This inVasion, says the letter, will drag us Ghe United States and Mcxico) into an unequal war with dignity which until today we desired to avoid"
 Carranza in his letter says the de- mands of the United States were un- expected and that he is writing with view of "exhausting all honorable means before two friendly nations sever the pacific relations that stil! mite them" It says the real MeXi- can nation has not recognized Huer- ta. and that therefore the acts of ;4 "usurper" do not signify the legit- innate acts of the sovereignty.
 The usurpcd title of president cannot invest lIuerta with the right tc receive demand for reparatior cn tho part of the United States nor 'h" right to grant the satisfaction that is due" Carranza says that Huprta is a "culprt' who is amena- ble to the constitutionalists. and that the United States should deal with Constitutionalists. The letter closes thus.
 T invite you solely to suspend hos tile acts already initiated ordering NoUr forces to evacuate Vera Cruz and to formulate before the consti- tutionalist government which l rep resent. demand on the part of the United States for the acts which ori- ginatcd in Tampico. in the security that the demand will be considered in the spirit of elevated justice and con ciliation''
 News that CarranZa had regarded the seizure of Vera Cruz by the Ameri- can naval forces as an act of hos ! tiity to the Mexican nation fell like a bomb shell in official circles Will son had especially disclaimed any act i Of hostility to the Mexican people particularizing Huerta as the ob- , ject of the American operation to procure a reprisal for the offenses at TampicO and elsewhere against | tue AuteIicefl lidS. tOHSeuutHllN tue Washington government had hoped the constitutionalists would remain silent and not interject themselves into the imbrogio. The Carranza letter. however. confirmed the fears i of many officials that the consti- tutiOnalists might side with Huerta This was one possibility which had beeen discussed in administration circles as the most serious phase ot the situation.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS

SHERLOCK HOLMES at his house in London, re-
~ ceived an anonymous letter containing mysterious
cipher which he picked out of of words in
isolated pages in Whitakers A1manack. The message
stated that danger menaced one Douglas of Birthstone
House lust then Inspector Alec Macdonald of Scot
land Yard rushed in seeking Holmes aid in solving the
shorribe" murder of John Douglas of Birthstone Manor
House in Sussex County, which had just been discovered
Holmes, the Inspector, and DR.. Watson finally went
to the scene of the tragedy They found Douglas lying
on the floor of his study with his face manged by
discharge from American sawedo shotgun as to be
unacceptable. His wedding ring had been removed
and the ring below it replaced. The man bore brand
on his arm, made years before, of triangle within
circle card the floor contained the inscription,
scrawled in ink, @V V. 341" There clue to the
murderer except bloody footprint the window sill.
Holmes was much struck with the fact that one of
Douglas iron dumb-bells missing.
Cecil Barker, Douglas most intimate man friend,
was considerably ustered when being examined,
and confessed that Douglas had been jealous account
of his attentions to Mrs. Douglas. DR.. Watson OBJ
served that the widow though her husbands mangled
body lay in the adjoining room, actually smiled when
she was testfyng and later he caught her and Barker
happily conversing
Holmes believed that Mrs. Douglas and Barker knew
all about the murder He advised the other detectives
to abandon the case and finally took them with him in
the night watch the Manor House, to the solution
of the mystery.

darkness enabled him to do SO. We

who it was who took advantage of the
opportunity, and so, Mr.. Barker, |

bound it. From within he extracted

the toes. Then he laid upon the table
a long, deadly, sheathed knife. Finally
he unraveled a bundle of clothing, COM
prising a complete set of underclothes,
socks, a gray tweed suit, and short
yellow overcoat.
"The clothes are commonplace, re-
marked Holmes, save only the over
coat, which is full of suggestive
touches" He held it tenderly toward
the light. @Here, as you perceive, is the
inner pocket prolonged into the lining
in such fashion as to give ample space
for the truncated fowling piece. The

valleys in the United States. l have
some recollection, Mr.. Barker, that you
associated the coal districts with Mr. :.

not be too far-fetched an inference that

swept over it in turn. Finally he took
