the body of Captain Alfred Gunther of the American steamer Gulfight. which wor torpedoed off the Scilly Islands last Saturday
 The chief officer and chief engineer remained with the vessel, which is anchored in Crow Sound, to look after the interests of the steamers owners.
 Tn an interview at Pensance. See ond Officer Pau Bower of the Gulf light whose home is in Chicago, said.
 When the Gnlflient left Port Ar thur we were followed by a warship of some description which kept out of the sight of us but in touch by wire less, and warned us not to disclose our position to anyone
 At noon Saturday we were 9 miles west of Scilly The weather was hay but not too thick. About two and a half miles ahead I saw a submarine I was on watch and noti- fled the captain and chief officer. who also saw the submarine It re- mained on the surface for three min utes and then disappeared
 Twenty-Five minutes later we were struck by a torpedo on the starboard side and there was a tremendous shock The submarine had not re- appeared on the surface before dis charging the torpedo.
 Previous to this we had been met by two patrol boats, which accompa- nied us on either side, The boat on the starboard side was so badly shaken by the explosion that her crew imagined that she also had been torpedoed We immediately lowered the boats and left our ship and were quickly taken on board the patrol boat
 "At midnight Saturday while still on board the patrol boat, Captain Guuther summoned me. l found him in bed and he said he wanted some. one to rolI a cigarette for him. He then tossed up his arms and tainted. From then until the time of his death, which occurred about 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning, he remained uncon- sc.ous
 Captain Gunter's speech was thick and indistinct but We could distin. euish that he wished someone to take care of his wife The crew had al- ways regarded Captain Gunter as a healthy man and had never heard him complain"

Washington, May 3.-Pendng an of- ficia' Investigation of the circum- stances of u { wrecking of the Ameri- can steam iuflight in the English channel, oe United States govern ment will d ' diplomatic represea- tationz. IS weir Ss any pronounce- ae1H of policy
 ~~ Wo messages were received today from American Consul Stephens at Plymouth England, reporting that the GulfIieht was torpedoed off the Scilly Islands Saturday and that her captain died of heart failure and two members of the crew were drowned Secretary Bryan called attention to the fact that the source of his au. thor.ty was not given by Consul Ste phens.
 Mir. Bryan said he would ask for a thorough and complete report from the American consul and would direct Ambassador Gerard at Berlin to make similar inquiry of the German government for such facts as it might have on the subject.
 The secretary announced that he did not wish 10 make any predictions as to the course of the American gov e.3s,-.---Fnt's. golicy until all of the facts were la it's possession
 Officials were careful not Q take for granted the truth of reports that q German torpedo struck the Gulflight.
 Should the investigation bear out the dispatches claiming that a Ger man submarine made the attack, the United States probably will demand an indemnity sufficient to cover the losses incurred by the ship and com pensaton to the families of the vic tins. It is thought probable that an expression of formal regret also will be requested
 While the seriousness of the attack upon the Gulflight was a matter of discussion and speculation in official quarters generally today. the belief was held by high officials that the German government if responsible. would not seek to justify the act. but would promptly agree to make amends It was pointed out that until there is proof of any deliberate inten- ton on the part of the German sub marine commanders to attack Amari- gan vessels, the experience of the Gulflght must be regarded as an ac- cideni though one for which ample reraiation would be demanded. < President Wilson on his return frtm. Williamstovu. Mass, communt oated with Secretary Bryan and state department officials, who immediate ly began an investigation of the law nous opinion was that from the re- ports thus far received there was no excuse for the attack on the vessel for even if she could be accused of carrying contraband the ship should have been visited and searched and her crew transferred to place Of safety before the cargo could be con- flscated
 Secretary Bryan laid before Presi- dent Wilson the preliminary official consular reports telling of the tor pedolne of the Gulflight Following his conference with the president he reiterated his statement that nc policy in the matter would be decided cn until more complete information was received.

 The reitcence of the Russian official communication though it may indicate that the battle is still unfinished is considered in military circles here to give considerable color to the Teu- tonicclaims at least to the claim of Vienna which does not place the vic tory so high as does the German com munication.
 If the Austro-German claim?s are correct, according to the military ob- servers the Russian right flank is in danger of envelopement, and on the Stry-Munkacs line the position is so dangerous as to be likely to involve generaY retreat.

PIONEERS ON OTHER SIDE
 OF DIVIDE
PATRICK DONLAN, GENER- OUS OLD-TIMER PASSES AWAY AFTER 50 YEARS RESIDENCE.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Patrick Donlan has had his wish gratified, and Is now numbered with other pioneers on the other side of the great divide. His death occurred on Sunday afternoon at the Pioneers Home in this city, from no particular affliction, but simply the breaking down of his health, due to his ex- treme age of ovc- S5 years
 Approaching that life's long race was nearing the close, he complacent- ly awaited the summons and when the end came he passed away peace fully and apparently contcnted. Only a short time ago, he informed friends lie was ready. and with snap of his fingers, stated that death to him was like the prick of pin
 This Hassayamper of Arizona and argonaut of the Pacific coast. was a true friend to all. Coming to this county over 45 years ago, he located at the Peck mine, where with his-wife they established hotel. The de ceased also followed mining and both prospe-cd. Their acts of charity were many, but their bencvolence proved their misfortune.
 Mir. Donlan was born in Ireland, and when youth of only Is years of age, came to the United States as a cabin boy in a sailing vessel to start the struggle single-handed. He land cd finally in San Francisco in lS49, at the age of 20 years. On reaching his majority in 1850. he was naturalized that year in Shasta county, Cal. His 6 years as a citizen had been graced with everything good and nothing bad. He leaves no relatives here or abroad. being the last of family that was honest and industrious He will be laid away today in the pion- ] gers plot in Miller valley cemetery.

ORGY OF DEATH
 IS OPINION OF HUNT

PHOENIX, May IA. - Governor Hunt in discussing the action of the state board of pardons and paroles, which yesterday refused further mercy to five men condemned to hanging, said: Ut is an orgy of death. The young State of Arizona is about to set an example of lcgalized murder which harks back to say agcry.'
 The house judiciary committee rec commended an amendment to the sen ate memorial to the governor of Georgia urging executive clemcncy for Leo NJ. Frank so as to couple the Arizona pardon board with the name of the Georgia governor and with the name Frank the words, and the five condemned men at Florence, Ari- zona."

WEEKS RESUME OF THE
 DO|NGS AT THE CAPITAL

PHOENIX, May H. Not until this afternoon did the house get down to final consideration of the general appropriation bill. How long it will take is as problen1atical as nearly everything else this unusual organiza- tion of lawmakers undertakes. The measure may go through like "greas- ed lightning" but a better guess is that at least two days will be con stunned in the discussion of the pro posed law.
 Pinkley (PinaD is going to try to get the $40,0O0 prison farm appropri- ation put back in the bill from whence it was dragged by the hand of fate and majority temporarily wandering from the straight and mar row path outlined by the administ-a- ton leaders.
 pcrimental farm items which mem bers would like to have incorporated and there is sure to be number of last-minute items of local character which the solons will hope they can squeeze through in the final minutes
 Flanagan (Yuma) attempted to have cloture rule adopted this morning limiting debate to five min utes per membe- per section, no mem Der to speak more than once, and no member to transfer his time to the man on the floor.
 The idea of curtailing the freedom of speech was extremely repugnant to the administration lobby, and the measure was defeated by a vote of IS to IA, so that the free and unlim- ited coinage of words Is likely to go on almost ad minimum or any other ''adP one can think of.
 The house bill as it totaled when the early worms were providing sus- tenance for the birdies this morning came to s, ,33150, to which large additions may be made during the third reading of the bill. now under way The house was only in session a few minutes, recessing until 50 to permit the typists time to trans cribe the bill as it finally came from the committee of the whole in all its pristine beauty.
 In the Senate.
 The senate is still marking time and waiting for the billet doux from the other end of the capitol: Presi- dent Sims asked this morning for the status of the revenue law, and was informed unoficially that it is in a hell of a fix" However, it was ad- judged that the time had come to call in the absent brothers, and messages have been sent Senators Bacon, Karns and Lovin that they may get on the job with a reasonable certain. ty of having something to do pretty soon. They asked for "A hours no tice.

but what the latter body will do to it, it is said will be shame
 Thus ends the first stage of the first special session of the second Arizona legislature. The solons met April g for the exclusive con sideration of general appropriation bill. The first ten days of the session were devoted by the committee on appropriations to going over practic- ally the same ground covered at the regular session, and resulted in the birth of hybrid bill which has been amended, re-amended, whipped, brow beaten, raised, reduced, changed, all tered and otherwise maltreated until it became neither fish, fowl nor yet good red herring. It has been cha-- acterized on the floor of the house as "a masterpiece of incompetency."
 The senate, which takes up the bur den tomorrow morning, has been spending a part of its time in prepar ing bill of its own, and in getting ready for prospective land legislation, but on the whole their activity has necessarily consisted under our faulty system of legislation of simply meet ing and adjou=ning from day to day, procedure that will now be trans ferred to the house side of the capitol
 The extra session of the legislature has proven a mighty expensive joke for the people of Arizona. It costs to maintain it about $1,OOO per day, burden which has been saddled upon the state by Governor Hunt because he refused to permit remedial legisla ton demanded by practically all the people to be enacted during the reg ula= session. There can be no ques- ton but that the blame for the ex- pensc and humiliation of the present session and the one to follow may be directly placed at the door of the chief executive
 An appropriation of $4OO was voted Miss Esther Ross, the Prescott girl who was selected by the governor to christen the battleship Arizona in New York next month.
 This action aroused Graham (Co- Chise) into a vigorous protest. Gra- ham claimed that it had been tenta- lively understood that the state would not be called upon to bea- this ex- pense and for that reason many charming Arizona girls had not en- tered the lists for the honor.

ON COPPER HILL
 BEGIN
(From Tuesdays Dsily.)

Acting on telegraphic orders from
 Bernard Cunniff at New York city,
 John Lindell has taken over the Cop per Hill group of mines in Copper
 Basin, owned by John J. Jackson and E. S. Clark, and placed a small force of miners at work
 MT. Cunniff will arrive in Prescott before June 1, when it is quite prob able he will assume the management of this property and begin explora- ton on quite large scale. Produc- tion 1t Is said, will be his motive. and from new ground recently opened up, with the large tonnage available in the old workings, it is believed this property has an attractive rating for the future. and particularly so in its vast resources in molydnite ores. This metal has suddenly sprung into high price quotations, reaching to over $750 per ton for % per cent grade of concentrates.
 Zones of the Copper Hill show a vast tonnage of this mineral, while recently there has been developed in new workings a good grade of copper ore in a sulphide and oxidized state. Mir. Cunniff and eastern associates secured an option on this group of fourteen claims about two months ago, at a price said to be for over s40O00. These holdings adjoin on he west the Commercial which is now operating and producing. The Copper Hill is equipped with hoist ng plant and other utilities. and has accommodations for over 20 miners.

off and made it shorter When cross examined as to how he was paid and what he was allowed for expenses, Alto declared that he was not sure, saying maybe $l,O00 or maybe less.
 Fred Hawkins, the deputy at Je- rome, was then sworn and testified that he had received the two bottles from Alto and had taken a small jolt from them to make sure they were the real stuff. He then marked them and turned the two bottles over to the shcriff's office. He said that he had furnished expense money for both Soto and Alto under orders from the shcTiff's office. When cross-examin- cd by Anderson in regard to the gin purchased by Alto and Soto he said that he was not sure whether or not it was dcnatured alcohol but he was certain it was intoxicating liquor.
 Lugio Soto, the man who claims he has lived on $10 for the last month or more, was then placed on the stand and he told how he had gone with Alto and saw the latter purchase the gin both times. In cross-examin- ation Soto said that he came from Douglas and before that from Mex ico He said that fo- the work he had done in Jerome he had never re- ccived a cent from the sheriff's office or anyone connected with it. He told how he had come down from Flagstaff to Jerome, having $l0 when he started the first part of the month of April. In Jerome he met Alto and helped him in his spotting work. He then came to Prescott and bought a good pair of shoes and he said he. still has some of the original $10. When asked if he ever ate he said that he did not Later he admitted that he did eat once in awhile
 The defense believing that he was in jail in this city not long ago ques- toned him i'll regard to 1t. He would not admit it and declared he had never been i'll any jail or had ever been arrested. Haworth put a qucs- ton through the interpreter asking him if he knew what a jail was. He replied that he did not.
 In spite of the constant denials made by Soto it is known that num- bcr of months ago he was in the city jail serving a sentence of ten days on charge of assault, he having got in to fight with another Mexican in pool hall It evidently was Hawo-th's intention to bring this out and i'm peach the testimony of Soto. Ac- cording to Haworth, Sheriff Young admitted having gone over and taken Soto out of the city jail, after he had served but five days of his sentence, by putting up $ fine.
 Sam Manlax, who has been in jail since he came down from Jerome on the liquor charge was released on $500 bail, after the hearing. The 2l bound over to the Superior court were released under the same bonds that they were allowed to go free on after being first arrested. Those now awaiting trial are May King Susana Cota.
