tried to force the carbolic acid down
her throat, after Thomas witnessed
her meeting with Pat Finn. Of Rock

After having, as it is believed, vented
his insane jealousy upon the woman.
Thomas went to the home Of his broth
err Harry Thomas 624 Ia West Third
street, about o'clock Sunday morning
and drank two ounces Of the acid, dy-
ing almost Immediately. This is the
theory held by the police, and the one
upon which they are working. A one
ounce bottle and a two ounce bottle,
both Of which had contained acid,
have been identified by clerks at the
Sadler drug store and the Ballard
pharmacy as those purchased by
Thomas Saturday. The one used by
Thomas in the home Of his brother was
purchased about 10 o'clock Saturday
night at the Ballard drug store, while
the small one, found in the womans
room, was purchased about 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
A post mortem examination was
held on the body Of the woman and
while the details of the findings are
being withheld until the coroner's in
quest, it is said that little Of the acid
was found in the woman's stomach,
altho she was badly burned on the in
side of her mouth.

While the first report of the two
deaths indicated a suicide pact be-
tween the two, who had been sweet
hearts for several months, DR.. D. G..
Kreul, who attended the woman, stated
yesterday that, finger marks on the
throat of the woman indicated that
she had been. roughly handled before
the acid had been taken. A peculiar

ceived here Of the suicide OF Alfred

wanted to shoot some rats, borrowed
her revolver. He went direct to the
barn at his home, went upstairs. and
sent bullet into his brain. The body
was found just few minutes inter- by
his father. Evidence pointed so clearly
to suicide that an inquest was not held.

These boys unquestionably do an

JIUJ|TSU D|SAPPROvED
 Of BY THE WAR OFFICE

LONDON, March Especial to the Yuma Daily EXaminer-The band of :iujitsu teachers and fencing masters whose offer of services in the instruc- ton of recruits has been refused by he war office are evening scores by charging that the office does not real ize the important part the bayonet is playing in this war on both western and eastern fronts. They say the army heads are unable to overcome the pre- judice against the bayOnet inherited rom tne experiences O. the South African campaign and fail t6vread the new lessons of warfare.
 The bayonet was first pronounced obsolete in the Spanish-American war. In the few cases where fighting was done in the Philippines at close quar- CTS, the Americans used their guns $ clubs, throwing away their bayonets $ a nuisance I his was also the yer .ict of the British in the Boer war. In he Russo-Japanese campaign, how 3ver, the bayonet returned to favor, yith the result that the American gov rnment reconsideTed it's intention to boiish the bayOnet and this arm was 4lso retained by the British.
 Now come the reports of the con- itant use of the bayonet in trench
 arfare, quickness of thrust and par y, of foot, eye and decision are nec- ssary in this kind of fighting. But he dill esrgeants, the jiujitsuist and encing-masters complain, are con- ent to teach the old fashioned routine exercises which would avail little .gainst skilled antagonists or even gainst impromptu tactics vigorously
 ursued.

APPROPRIATION BILLS
 OUT IF COMMITTEE

PHOENIX, Ariz, March Especial to the Yuma Daily Examiner-The ap- propriation bill came out of commit tee this afternoon. It carries $1,763,- 900 for the fiscal years of 1915-1916; and $1,647, 900 for 1916-1917.
 The revenue from taxes is estimated at half million making the property tax that much less than the figures given. Last year the appropriations approximated $1,9OO,O0O.
 The fight in the senate this morn ing was over further experimental artesian well appropriations. Sims of Cochise, said that if the pork barrel is open everybody. might as well get in. The Mohave county $500 well appropriation already has been sign ed. Practically every county will have similar bills.
 The universal eight hour bill was lost, killed in the senate by a vote of ten to eight, after a heated debate Riggs, of Cochise, drew picture of cowboys on rodeo quitting work when their alarm clocks announced the enu of the eight hour shift.
 This afternoon the senate resumed
 consideration of the land bill.
 The house committee on public in stitutions report on the Warden Sims investigation finds that Warden Sims suspended the execution of Ramon Will lalobo without authority. There is no recommendation. The Tempe Normal school bill was defeated by vote of p to 13.
 Bill No. 50 on the school code, also was defeated.
 Bills appropriating $2O,OO for a road on the San Carlos reservation and $1O,OOO for the repair of the Border land highway were passed in the house.

READY ID HEAR HE
 WESTERN RATE CASE

CHICAGO, H., March Especial to the Yuma Daily EXaminer-Whether the railroads west of the Mississippi river shall be permitted to increase their freight rates, in accordance with schedules filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission nearly a year ago, will be determined by the public hearings which will begin here to- morrow before Commissioner Daniels.
 The railroads declare that the rais- ing of more revenue through freight rates has been made imperative by increased wages, taxes and other eN- penses. The proposal to increase t1e freight tariffs, however, has aroused vigorous opposition. Protests not only from the shippers organizations, but from the state railroad commissions of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and oth- CT Western states, have been filed with the Interstate Commerce Con- mission and concerted action by the state commissions will be taken in opposition to the increases.
