The Third Deqree

The application of-the third degree to Holt fife would-be assassin of J. P. Morgan is something in the treatment of prisoners by federal au- thorities. It is commonly supposed that this cruel and generally useless method of obtaining evidence is practiced only by peculiarly brutal and ignorant police officials. It has long been frowned upon there. The government should tree itself of the services of the who maltreated this pris- oner, and give the world that it is not ir third degree business.
 There may be. times. some excuse for tre conferring of the third degree. In certain cases where there little real doubt that the prisoner is guilty. it may he well to secure an admission from him before he has had time formulate a defense but then, if the persecution carried beyond certain point, the admission likely to prove worthless in An innocent man, suojected to the given Holt might easily admit any thing obtain relief from punishment being visited upon him. In ii is that under later the orderly procedure of courts cstab- lished their innocence.
 In the Holt there was nothing to be proved. There little he tell the officers beyond what they already knew. He had Morgan He had been overpowered taken from Morgan residence O jail. tune the third degree being administered him was known all over the country why he mac attempted a monstrous crime. The only matter n doubt was the degree of his insanity, and that not very well be determined by the processes Of the third degree.

TEMPE NEWS NOTES
SUBDIVISION OF SCHOOL
 LAND INTERESTS TEMPE

The subdivision of the six hundred and forty acres of school land lying directly west of Tempe into small ranChing> areas is now being agitated in Tempe since the creation of the new IanG code which places that power in the hands of the land commission.
 The fact that Tempe is bordered on the west and south by the large land areas that have in history been main tained principally as feed fields for the range cattle, has always been one of the drawbacks to the advancement of this city and the citizens have been awaiting the first loop hole that would present itself whereby smaller ranches might be built up within the country immediately bordering the town.
 Representative J. C. Goodwin. in speaking of the situation yesterday said that he thought it splendid oppor- tunity to bring about the first sub dividing that has been done here in years. The mile square area that is now public school land though it was known for years as belonging to the normal, is occupied by but a single house now. The power that the land commission has to divide it into any size tracts they desire, even into town lots ii necessary, has left a splendid opportunity for Tempe to realize ma terial expansion in both its population and in the number of it's small acre farms.
 Residents of Tempe have watched the new land code with interest and now that the opportunity is presented there is little doubt but what the land commission will be approached with the subdivision idea of the tract of school land immediately adjoining this city

 Other Features
 Other features of the fair included the display of live stock along the west part of the city park. where many fine specimens of horses. cat tie and hogs are on exhibition. The poultry display. while not large. is full of interest. and is ahead of ex- pectations. The fact that this part of the exhibit was almost fan after thought. makes it especially credit able and shows the wide interest taken in the raising of fancy stock
 Both the Tempe and Mesa bands were on the grounds and furnished excellent music throughout the day Tn the morning a monster parade one of the largest ever held on the southside, passed through the streets tn 10 har nf handsome floats and decorated auto mobiles were in line, and number of these were left at the fair grounds at the end of the march Especially noteworthy was the float depicting resented by Miss Clare Turner of Tempe, the Liberty Bell float, and the float of the Toggery, with bevy cf pretty girls.
 A record breaking crowd from the southside was on the grounds yester- day. Tempe, Chandler. Gilbert and Higley were all we'll represented, with a. good crowd from Phoenix and the rorth side Even more people are expected today. when the farmers lectures and horse races will be the drawing cards. Every arrangement has been made for the comfort and accommodation of the crowds. At a rumber of booths excellent lunches ale served, whi.e the convenience of the park for picnic parties is unex- celled.
 Among the special exhibits worthy of mention are those of L. B. John son and Sons fruits and vegetables; the Arizona Seed company, seeds and poultry supplies; BeyerIes garage. Goodyear tires and Foos engines The O'Neill Auto Supply Company had two of it's new Chalmers cars on ex- hibition, and they with those of the agency, were a constant source of attraction and interest
