RAILROAD RATES ARE
 INCREASED 10 PER CENT
(FIom Thursdays Daily.)

New passenger rates adding four dollars to the price of every trans continental ticket to Arizona, will go into effect March l, unless a sus- pension of the proposed tariffs ie granted by the interstate commerce commission. That the new rates from the East are more drastic than al first appeared, was made known when copies of the tariffs were received and checked over by the corporation commission.
 Early advices from Washington and from the commission of western states conveyed but little informa- ton as to the extent of the proposed changes, which appeared to add but $l to the cost of transportation west ward from Oklahoma points. With the arrival of the complete tariffs as published by all roads operating west Of the Missouri river, it became known that a flat increase of ten per cent on all classes of transportation is not only contemplated, but will take effect unless suspension is se- cured.
 From Kansas City to Tucson the rate will be boosted from $3S to $4295 an increase of over ten per cent. The rate to Bisbee will be raised from $37.65 to $4170, and the increase on the cost of ticket to Nogales from Leavenworth and other points will be from $4004 to $44.6O. Prescott, Flag staff, Yuma and every other town in the state will be proportionately af- fected by the increase. Eastbound, the rates will be raised to the same degree
 An immediate protest against the new tariffs and request that they be suspended until a hearing may be had in the case will be filed with tho interstate commerce commission by the corporation commission, which | will join with other western states in fighting the proposed raise in passen- l ger fares.

RUFFNER AND DOLLY
 CLOSE RANCHsDEAL
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The lease held by Cort Simmons to the Wynkoop ranch, on Willow creek, with all crops thereon, was purchased yesterday by Geo. C. Ruff ner and B. B. Dolly, for the sum of $25OO. This property is owned by the Arizona Land and Irrigation Com pany, and has attained valuable rating since Simmons assumed charge and carried out line of intensive farming with success. Mir. Dolly was also a leaser of this farm several years ago, when owned by Wynkoop, and dur ing the driest period known, cultivat- ed large acreage at a profit. Be hind the deal is said to be favorable season approaching, since the heavy rains of the last few months. A DOT tion of the tract will be utilized by Ruffner as pasture for livestock, instead of shipping as heretofore to the Salt River valley.

CONDEMNED MEN CAN
 ASK FOR CLEMENCY (From Fridays DailY.l

Preparing to exercise the functions delegated it under the law, the board of pardons and paroles has notified the five condemned men awaiting ex- ecution at the state prison to file any applications for clemency they may wish to make with that body by March 4. The men are sentenced to hang March 18th.
 So far no applications for pardon or clemency have been filed with the board by any of the condemned men, but it is expected that they will all ask the board for. pardons or re prieves. The five men who are sen fenced to execution, March 1o, are Eduardo Perez, N. B. Chavez, Fran cisco Rodriguez, Miguel and Ramon Villalobo. The first four were re prieved by Gov. Hunt in December fin order to give the attorney gen eral and the Supreme court time to pass on their cases" Villalobo, who was sentenced to hang January s, was not executed by Warden Sims at the time set, and was re-sentenced by Judge Baughn of Pinal county to hang on the same days with the others.

NEARING THE END
 IN BUILDING BIG DAM
(From Fridays DaiIyl


 Herbert G. Wells, in charge of dan construction for the Hassayampa Al falfa Farms Company, is of the opin ion that the next two weeks will sec that huge structure completed.
 Good progress has been made ir building since the favorable weather of the past week, and with a continu ation of the same, the dam should b, ready for conserving the Granite creek flow in that time
 There will be no effort made, how ever, to conserve the waters now passing down the creek, as the sit, where one of the gates is to be laid remains submerged. The vest end outlet, ten feet above the water sur face, is open, where a four-foot gatt will be located. The dam will have a heighth of fully S2 feet, over 50, oi which was completed yesterday.
 After the arrival next week of In. diana stockholders, the matter of a second storage dam on Willow creek less than a mile distant, is to receive immediate consideration. A general movement is under headway by tho company to get the irrigating system on its large land holdings in practi- cal working order.

HARTMAN STRIPS RICH
 WIDOW OF BIG SUM
(From Wednesdays Daily.l


 | Richard l. Hartman, for many years practicing attorney at law in Prescott, was found guilty in the Stu preme court of New York recently of one of the most gigantic thefts oi modern times, and goes to Sing Sing to serve from five to ten years. His exploits are tinged with sensational developments in filching a widow woman out of the sum of $635.000 and in the trial eight days were occupied to hear the voluminous evidence. The jury, however, required but eight minutes for deliberations in finding him guilty.
 In the complaint against Hartman, Mrs. Charlotte L. Mackenzie charged that he stole her entire fortune She was the widow of the head of the Singer Sewing Machine Company The specific charge against Hartman was that he stole two l00share certi- iicates of Singer stock, which he hypothecated with the New Jersey Title Guaranty Trust Co.,, and with the proceeds, $5O,OOO, bought a half interest in Tyson & Co.,, theatrical agents of New York City.
 During the trial over 800 letters written by Hartman to Mrs. Mac kenzie were introduced in evidence, and some of the loving epistles evok- ed a sensation when the extreme age of Hartman was considered, as he passionately told of his love for the widow.
 Hartman, according to press ac- counts Of the trial, was a frenzied promoter, and dealt mainly in foreign companies. Mexico was his main field of operating, and he incorporat- ed the Sinaloa Railroad and Smelling Co.,, for fabulous sum, but the un- dertaking never materialized. He also engaged in other stock deals, and at one time was threatened with a criminal action, that was dropped after he surrendered his stock
 One of the interesting features of the trial was that Mrs. Mackenzie testified she paid bills due, after being repeatedly dunned, that her "dearie" might not be embarrassed to meet his obligations and make large invest ments with her money.

RUSSIAN STRIKE
 CONFIRMED BY AGNOLL
[From Thursdays Daily.0

(From Thursdays Daily9
 John Agnoll, who with James Me Kay, has given an option to purchase the Russian gold group of mines to Carl M Hooper of Phoenix, arrived from the camp near Congress yes terday, and confirmed reports in cir culation of the remarkable showing made by this operator.
 He states the main shaft is being sunk on an incline of forty degrees and has reached depth of 100 feet, with an ore body determined of fully five feet. Two feet will give $l00 to the ton, and the average value is $25.
 Cooper is so well pleased with his investment that he has ordered q large hoisting plant, and will sink to great depth before production begins or reduction plant is installed.
 Agnoll also stated the Russian is a parallel vein to the Congress and the mineral characteristics of the two are identical, the Russian lying within three-quarters of a mile of the Con gress workings. Other arrivals from that camp state the showing is one of the biggest that has ever been made in recent years in this county on a gold mine.

MALPRACTICE IS LAID
 AT DOOR OF DOCTORS
(Fron1 Wednesdays Daily.)

Letters have been received in this city during the past week that the death of James J. O'Connor in Los Angeles on January ? last, is to be probed by an official investigation, in which Attorney F. A. Lane of that city is to take leading part, to ascer, tain under what conditions death was due.
 Lane has addressed a communica- ton to the city council, copy of which has been received in Prescott, in which he makes accusations of an astounding nature. He states that O'Connor was practically well on January 25, when he was taken to the Clara Barton hospital The follow ing day he was removed to the coun- ty hospital, in an unconscious state, and later passed away The odor of ether was so strong, as well were symptoms of aesthensia SO pro nounced, as to arouse the suspicion from the doctors, nurses, deputy sheriffs and other attendants that O. Connor was passing out when ad- mitted to that institution. All parties agreed that there was no justification to administer ether to the man, as he was temporarily mentally deranged and argumentative, but not physically i'll, when placed in the first named hospital.
 O'Connor resided in Prescott for several years, until about six years ago, when he was bookkeeper for the Bashford-Burmister Company. He affiliated with Prescott Lodge of Elks. He was aged B years.

STUD ACREAGE
 IS ALMOST DOUBLED

TUCSON, Feb. "A. - The acreage being planted in Irish potatoes is about doubled this year, according to H. B. Langers of the Tucson Seed Company, as far as he can judge from the trade He says that the demand for seeds of all kinds is unusually good.
 This is believed not to be a direct result of the exceptional rainfall That is expected to have its influence in July when the dry farmers plant The water still will be in the ground at that time, and will permit of the growing Of crops on land that ordin- arily would not grow excelsior.
 The sides of the Tucson mountains seen from town, have taken on a greenish tinge, noticely different from their usual gray and purple
 The potato most popular in this country, according to Mir. Langers, is the triumph, very early variety ot medium size with a red skin. It is especially adapted to the southern states.
 The Pima county folks are planting more trees than ever before, he add ed, and are learning to plant fruit trees for shade. Plum, pear, apricot and apples are being carted out to the ranches and set out. Nor are grapes being neglected.

SUMMONS COMES TO
 ESTIMABLE WOMAN
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Very much sorrow was expressed yesterday when it was learned that Mrs. Augusta Wood, the estimable wife of Hon. Homer R. Wood, had passed away, the end taking place at the family home on Cortez street at 7:20 o'clock in the morning.
 Her illness covered a period of over seven months, during which time she was bedridden. Her patient suffering was attended with not a murmur, and when the end came, she passed away as if going into a sleep.
 Mrs. Wood had been a resident of this city for many years, and before stricken enjoyed much prominence in charitable and other benevolent acts, being of generous nature. She was a devout Christian, of beautiful per sonality, whose loss will be regretted by many here and elsewhere. She was born in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, and is survived by her husband, a sister, Mrs. L. c. Vim, who was with her to the end, and brother, Fred Gale, of the above city. Funeral ar will be announced later, under the direction of Lester Ruffner.

MRS. HICKEY SUES FOR RENT OF HOTEL
(From Thursdays Daily.)

NTIOlH HUT sQdy DaiIy.J
 Mrs. Kate Hickey, formerly oi Prescott, but now Of Los Angeles brought suit in the Superior court yesterday against Fred Ullman, Henry Brinkmeyer and Joseph Bold for 5000, claiming that sum to be due under bond given by the latter two guaranteeing the rent of the Prescott hotel from Ullman.
 Mrs. Hickey came in possession oi the lease as part of the estate of her late husband He had rented the place to Ullman and Mrs Bartholdi who died a couple of years ago Brinkmeyer and Bold were the sign CTS of bond i'll the sum of $100o guaranteeing the rent of $225 a month. On the lst of January, 1915 the rent money was not paid, and the same condition prevailed the first of February. The alleged breaking of the condition of the bond is the ground for the action.
 Since Ullman, who is now in Phoe- nix, had the hotel, several parties have essayed to run it, but on ac- count Of poor business conditions none of them made a success of it. The place was closed shortly after the state went dry and has since been without a tenant.
