CIRCUITS WITNESS
NOT QUESTIONED
Stir in urtWhenDefence
Fails to CroSs-Examine
EX-UniOn Bank Man.
TESTIMONY BACKED
PERJURY CHARGE
Plans of Prosecution Upset by
Action of Counsel for Ex-
CITY Controller.

The trial Of ex-City Controller Ed
ward NJ. Grout for perjury before
County Judge Lewis, In Brooklyn, was
marked yesterday by another sensa-
ton hardly second in Importance, &C
cording to the prosecution, 10 the one
on Monday when Edwin J. Stalker, vice.
president Of the Union Bank when
Grout signed the alleged false report OF
the banks assets, testified that his
chief knew all about the overstatement
of assets three days before the bank
closed its doors.
Yesterdays sensation came when
Stephen c. Baldwin, attorney for Grout,
let Stalker leave the stand without one
question in cross-eXamination to shake
the damaging testimony OF the witness,
who had been subpenaed by Grout.
District Attorney Cropsey, since the
trial began three weeks ago, has been
endeavoring TO show that Grout had
guilty knowledge of the shaky condi-
tion Of the Union Bank, and the carry
ing Of bad paper, when he signed the
report 10 the State Banking Depart
ment, on March rs, 1910, overstating
the assets by more than 100000.
Stalker, almost a physical wreck
through worry over the failure Of the
bank, came down from his farm in
Windham, Conn, and had taken the
stand yesterday after an exhausting
examination on Monday. The District
Attorney after dovetailing with docu-
mentary evidence the witnesses re-
markable story Of the previous day,
handed him over to Mr.. Baldwin for
cross-examination.
"No cross-examination, your honor"
said Mr. Baldwin.
The courtroom hummed like dynamo
and eyes turned In the direction Of Dis
trict Attorney Cropsey, who apparent
ly was astonished. Stalker betrayed
real disappointment
"You subpnnaed him and I assumed
you wanted TO cross-examine him." said
the prosecutor, turning on Mr.. Baldwin.
81 was under subpoena by the de-
PENDANT for the entire week." said
Stalker, in whisper to Judge Lewis.
81 know all that" replied Mr.. Bald
win. 1--WE have no questions"
Mr.. Cropsey sat down and Stalker
left the stand with a reluctant air,
As he passed the press tables he
paused.
They didn't want to cross-examins
me; | guess they knew better" he
said.
Throughout it all, Mr.. Grout sat
quietly, almost indfferently, az the
table beside mis- counsel.
Mr.. Baldwin's reluctance to open the
avenues to further disclosures by his
clients aid upset District Attorney
Cropsey's plans. He had been counting
on lengthy cross-examination lasting
throughout the day. After consulting
with his assistant, Louis Goldstein, Mr..
Cropsey called Ellsworth Bogart, di-
rector of the Union Bank, under the
Sullivan regime. The witness testified
he gave bank stock as collateral for
notes and afterward was adjudged a
bankrupt. In spite of this, he said, his
note for S16,769 was carried among the
assets in the Grout report of March %.
1910.

and The Bronx yesterday. The exhibit
tion was a part of the programme Of
weights and measures week." con-
Quoted by Joseph Hartigan, Commits
sioner of Weights and Measures.
The Brooklyn parade included a bat
talon Of Boy Scouts, nearly 5000 de-
livery wagons of all descriptions, and
four companies of housewives who car
ried pennants urging honest weights
and measures. The Manhattan mer-
chants route was from Seventh Ave
nue. ard 135th Street TO Washington
Square. The Bronx parade started at
Fordham Road and the Concourse and
ended at the starting point Of the Man
haitian division.
Inspectors Of the bureau distributed
100000 pastors during the day to the
parading tradesmen. These will be at
tached to all bundles sent out IN the
next few days, and bear this legend:
"Our business method is 10 give
honest weights and measures. We be-
lieve that honest goods can be sold 10
honest men by honest methods"

Benjamin F. de Castro, student born

graduates of the school were at least
proficient in making cinnamon cakes,
lemon cake, graham rolls and sugar

clear, not all Of the oratory was un-
derstandable 10 the layman.
The advanced classes in voice cult
ure showed that through vibration they
were able to control tone as well as
rhythm. Two choirs, one of mixed
adults and the other Of eight boys,
gathered around a piano. The choirs
then followed the piano, singing such
songs as "Silver Threads Among the
Gold" Rings on Her Fingers" Tip

rhythm was excellent, but the tonal
quality was neither sustained nor in
pitch.
Twenty-one pupils received diplomas

dents had taken special ten-year
courses, but the majority studied the
eight-year term. There are at present

NATIONAL CONGRESSIONAL
UNION BEGINS CAMPAIGN

PHOENIX, ARIz., Sept. S0.-The
National Congressional Union, or
ganibed for the purpose of pressing
the national campaign for a consti-
tutional amendment known as the
"Susan B. Anthony Amendment" has
begun an active campaign in Arizona
for the votes of the Arizona delega-
tion in the national congress for the
proposed amendment. Miss Alice Paul,
national chairman of the organization,
who halls from New York, and Mrs.
Kent wife of Congressman Kent of
California, together with Miss Doris
Stevens, a young woman who has
shown great talent as an organizer
of this sort of work are holding meet
ings in Maricopa county this week.
Among their activities was that Of
visiting Congressman Hayden in a
body and asking for his support. Con-
gressl.1an Hayden voted for the
amendment in the house at the last
time. 1t is the intention of the
women to press the proposed amend
ment at the coming sixty-fourth con-
gress.

didn't and Kelliher came home, Van
making two sacks. Whelan then sent
safe one over second base scoring Van
but Galloway was next and famed. In

HAYDEN, Sept. 29. Especial Core
spondence) The luclzless Millers took
a firmer grip on the bottom Of the lad
der tooay when Hester's Miners merci-
lessly slaughtered them py u score OF
to g. It was another case of toe
much Bromley Toner started for the
Millers but after yielding six hits in
three innings netting six rms for the.
Rayites he was succeeded by Dent who
did excellent work through the rest of
the game. His opponents were COM
pletely at his mercy except in the sew
enth and eighth when he was hit more
freely than usual resulting in three
scores for the visitors during his part
of the game.
Scanlon was first to bat for the Min
ers and received a pass. Hester went
out on sacrifice advancing Scanlon.
Demaggio hit safe scoring Scanlon and
after stealing second and third came
by Van. Butcher sent one to short and
was out and soon after Mitchell was
caught trying to steal third.
In the second Driscoll grounded to
short and should have been out but
Kelleher threw wild to Van allowing
the runner to get as far as second. Ar
bogast then bunted to Toner and Dris-
coll was out at third. Pendleton then
sent grounder along third-base line
for two sacks. Bromley was next with
a. safe one over third base scoring Ar
bogast and Pendleton. Scanlon then
grounded to short and Bromley went
out at second. A moment later Scan
Ion attempted to steal second but was
too slow and the side retired.
In the third Hester grounded over
second base for safety but soon
spoiled it by attempting to steal De-
meggio flew to left for two sacks and
then Mitchell grounded to third after
which Demaggio was caught between
second and third and the ball played to
second to catch Mitchell approaching
that base. 1t looked like nice double
play and almost everyone seemed to
think so except Umpire Spikes who in
sisted Mitchell was safe and there was
trouble brewing for a few minutes.
Butcher was next and flew all the way
over centerfield fence to the roof of one
OF the houses on the hill taking four
sacks at his leisure Mitchell ahead of
him. Driscoll's out retired the side.
When the fourth opened the visitors
found themselves facing Dent and they
couldn't even reach first until the sew

down Pendleton got a single and scored
when Bromley sent long fly to left
field fence for two. Scanlon grounded
safe along third base line but Hester

eighth Mitchell singled and Butcher

This week the Arizona Tellurium
Mines company was incorporated with
million shares of the par value of

Thomas H. Condor, one of the best
known mining and oil operators in the
country; W. L. Mckay, well known
Goldfield mining man, and George A.
Shea, who also operated in Goldfield
and Alaska. With these men are as

During the incumbency of Governor
Sparks of Nevada, Colonel Condor
was on the governors staff In the
mining game he has always been
identified with some of the largest
promotions of the big mining camps,
and knowing the mines in which he
has become identified here, we know
that he is lined up with one of the
best propositions in the state. With
him are associated men who have

OCCUPANCY OF STATE
LANDS WITHOUT PER-
NH IS ILLEG

The occupancy of any of the public
lands of the state without a permit
from the land department is illegal,
and persons occupying such lands ac-
quire no rights to any improvements
they may make, according to an opin-
ion of the attorney general trans
mitted to the state land department.
Following receipts of the opinion from
the attorney general the land depart
ment caused to be issued the follow
ing order:
1T is hereby ordered that notice be
and is hereby given to the public that
the occupancy of any of the public
lands of the state by any. person
without permit from the land de-
partment shall not be considered a
legal occupancy by such person, and
that any improvements placed on the
lands of the state by any person so
occupying the same, without a permit
duly granted by the land department.
otherwise, to such improvements as
against the state of Arizona, or any
lessee of the state.''
The order is aimedAnot so much at
occupants of the state lands at the
time of the passage of the new land
code as at persons who may have
gone on public land since the first of
July. According to the attorney gem
eral, such persons cannot hope to
have their occupancy considered as
legal until permit shall have been OBJ
tained from the land department and
any improvements made by them be-
come the property of the state.
The status of persons who were oc-
cupying state lands at the time the
land code was enacted has not yet
been determined. The matter has
been referred to the attorney general.
