Sheriff Geer was in town the
latter part of the week. He
had arrested a man at Winant,
a kind of hobo or faker, going
through the cour try beating his
way, preying upon the kindness
and sympathy of the people by
pretending to be sick. When no
one saw him he would walk like
a soldier; when he saw anyone
he was as deaf and dumb as an
oyster. He would draw his left
arm in the sleeve and pretend 1t
was paralyzed, crook his knee
and pretend he could not
straighten it out. He had pa
per with him stating his horrible
condition. In Newport he met
VIM. Matthews, editor of the
News. Mr.. Matthews felt sorry
for him and gave him a letter
of introduction to a rooming
house but the landlady could not
see it in that light and fired him
out. He was then taken to the
CITY inn and from there he was
taken to Toledo, where | lost

WILLARD Is TOURING
 COUNTRY IN PALACE

Jess Willard is gomg to tour the country in style from now on. From the time he leaves Kansas City for Omaha. big Jess will ride in the beau tiful private car that Fish, the railroad magnate, built for himself. Jess now starts out on a series of one-night stands, and the private car, costing the syndicate $45 day, will save Jess lot of waiting on railroad platforms. In weeks time an ordinary one-night stander will spend at least fifteen or twenty hours waiting around for the trains, but the big cowboy can loll around in the palace on wheels until doomsday if need be without feeling any inconvenience.
 Jess will have his parIor, staterooms and the same force of chefs through out his tour. It's far jump from a mule team to a luxurious palace car, but Jess is a happy -gO-lucky cuss and he's probably telling himself that he felt it was coming to him some day. That car will be as much of an attrac- tion on the road as Tom Jones' The tank town folks will pat car in won- der and astonishment as they peer througa the plate glass windows look ing for Willard only to see the barber of Kewanee stretched out in a $5O,- 900 reclining chair that might have been made for Nomad, King of Bava- ria but fitting very perfectly.

AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOC.
 WRITE A TIMELY LETTER

I Motorist-the national organ of the American Automobile Association. I note your copy of the letter to MT. Modesti and trust he will appre. ciate, as you have, that my only pur- pose was for his own good and the good of that route.
 Also, it is just such conditions as you have attended to at the Dome ferry that will constantly add to the fame, and thereby the value, of what I have always called the Year Round Route"
 It will undoubtedly interest you to know that as result of the round trip that made in 1913 that the situ- ation just east of New Orleans is be- ing improved by the building of a cause-way across the marshes. When this is completed it is going to cut out about a hundred miles that now have to be made, and some eight miles of this would frequently put the Nam moth Wash to blush when 1t comes to getting the tourists in bad.
 I am yet in hope that we will, at no very distant date, have a through route all the way from the Atlantic seaboard through to San Diego, that can be travelled any time of the year, and thereby establish the actuality of The Year Round Route.
 Of course this is a long way from your home, but it will naturally inter est you to know that last night 1 at tended a meeting of several hotel mems associations, the purpose of which is to immediately inaugurate a to put thu ough the remain ing twelve mile gap of uncompleted road that leads south from here thru Richmond and thence on to Atlanta and down to the Gulf Coast. l have been working on this some time and at last see real work being done, as these hotel men are today getting In touch with various Chambers of Commerce for the next joint meeting, which will be held May 10.
 In the mean time 1 can only hope that too many road propositions will not be advanced and supported, be- cause I know that with proper fore sight we can put through a routing that will become equally famous with the Lincoln Highway and, of course, have the advantage of being useable in the winter as we'll as in the sum- mer
 Yours very truly,

BAD ROADS KILLED HER

A few years ago beautiful woman in the prime of life lay suffering upon sick bed in rural commu- nity It was imperative that she have physician at once The hired man was dispatched for one in very great haste He made the best time possible, but the roads were muddy, and bad, and cut up and travelling at best was very slow. He lost much time in going, and the physician equally delayed in his progress in return. After many hours he finally reached the side of the sufferer But death had beaten him-for death had no bad roads to cover. Had the physi- clan reached her little sooner her life could have been saved. But he did his best-and bad roads did the rest Bad roads killed this woman. And bad roads are killing others every day in like manner Now isn't this compelling argument in favor of bet ter country roads? Or is the life of human being of less value than the cost of few dollars spent in road improvement? A member of your own family may furnish the subject for the next story brother

GOLDEN RIBBON"
 BASIS 0F TEST CASE

TUCSON, May 4.-With the arrival here of carload of Golden Ribbon the beverage that tastes, looks, smells and foams like beer, and which has the disapproval of Attorney General Wiley Jones, question of seizure has been presented to County Attorney Hilzinger and Sheriff Forbes It con- tains no alcohol. but is malt product.
 The carload was held up in New Mexico by the Southern Pacific for few days. It arrived yesterday and was unloaded by the Citizens Trans fer Company, who are to be the Tue son distributors.
 The railroad made an investigation and decided that Golden Ribbon is not prohibited by the anti-booze law.
 James Hamilton the agent at Doug las, Bisbee and Tucson for Golden Rib bon, was arrested in Douglas yester- day by Sheriff Wheeler of .Cochise county on telegraphic advices from the attorney general.
 number of business houses in Douglas have been selling Golden Rib- bon, but no arrests of those thus en- gagged will be made until Hamilton's case is decided. If Hamilton is found guilty Of breaking the law, other ar rests will follow. Hamilton is charged with having introduced the Golden Ribbon into the State.
 The Citizens Transfer Company has not made any disposal of the Golden Ribbon received yesterday, and proba- ply will not, pending the decision of the courts on the merits of the Hamil- ton case.

 Attractive features of the program
 were solos by Mrs. Ballard, ''The Mod el Church, and Eternity" by MT. Clayton. At the conclusion of these interesting services, three additional

 Plans are under way for the bap- tism of several at, special service next Sunday. To answer several in- quiries it should be known that the Methodist Episcopal church holds to three forms of administering the sa- crament of baptism, viz: Sprinkling, pouring and immersion We grant this liberty because no particular form is given in the Scriptures. So far as any one form is concerned the preponderence of evidence is in favor of sprinkling. However, that may be We make no controversy except to an- swer inquiries. We will baptise you as your conscience may dictate-by immersion, pouring or sprinkling. Re member that baptism, by whatever form, as only the outward sign of an inward grace The inner experience is the important thing, for, 'as a man thinketh in his heart so he is" It is not the quantity of water; which can never wash away sin" but faith that saves, while the form of baptism, whether by sprinkling, pouring, or inn mersion, is the outward sign of sepa- ration from the world

SPREAD OF METHOD|sM GIVEN
 IMPETUS DURING PAST WEEK

No records are at hand of a greater 1 day for Methodism than that of last Sunday, or for any other Protestant church, except as to Sunday school attendance, only 113.
 The lesson was faithfully impressed upon the children and young folks, to show the sin of jealousy as illustrated in King Saul trying to kill the young man David, because the women sang over the staying of Goliath-"Saul has slain his thousands and David his tens of thousands
 The subject of the pastors sermon was The Crises of Life." He showed how one may come to the border land of Canaan in becoming almost a Christian" and then turn back into the wilderness of sin to perish. He gave several incidents of his personal knowledge. At the close of the ser mon nine new members were received into the church. It was an impressive sight when the congregation filed out by giving them the right hand of fel- lowship and royal welcome into the church.
 The Epworth League was efficiently led by Vance Clymer, using the sub- ject of Personal Holiness" The pro- gram was varied by appropriate music.
 At 7:30 the pastor gave his lecture entertainment on Character in Con- trast,' or as some prefer to call it, The Unwritten Volume of Life,'' to the largest audience that has greated him in Yuma, and he held it's undivid- ed attention for upwards of an hour and half in depicting various phases of character in a manner entirely unique and vivid. The audience seem ed to be perfectly under his control At times it was stirred by ripples of

she had dictagraph installed in Dr.
 Carman's office, which enabled her
 to listen to all her husbands conversa-
 tions with his woman patients.
 "A week after the murder the grand jury returned an indictment charging Mrs. Carman with manslaughter. Later, however, the same grand jury, returned a superseding indictment charging Mrs. Carman with murder in the first degree It was on this indictment that she was tried last October.
 The most damaging testimony now against Mrs. Carman at the first trial was that of Celia Coleman, the negro maid in the Carman household, and the chief witness for the state The maid testified that after she heard the report of the pistol, Mrs. Carman, dressed in kimono dashed through the kitchen on her way to her room on the second floor of the physicians house. AS she passed, Celia said, Mrs. Carman showed the maid pistol Ce- lia quoted Mrs. Carman as saying:
 See, 1 have shot him!"
 This testimony was in direct contra diction to that of members of the family, who stated that Mrs. Carman was lying down in her room when the shot was fired and did not go down stairs until several minutes later.
 When the first trial ended in a jury disagreement it was generally believed that the case would never be brought into court again, although Mrs. Car man insisted at the time that she be given another trial in order that she might be cleared of all suspicion.
 The decision of District Attorney Smith to bring the case to trial again is accepted as an indication that he has discovered new evidence which he regards as important enough to justify a new trial. The nature of the new evidence has not been disclosed. It is rumored, however, that five new wit resses, woman and four men, will be on hand to testify for the state. The new evidence it is said will be of almost equal importance to that O, Celia Coleman, the negro maid
 On the eve of the beginning of the second trial, counsel for Mrs. Carman state they have no new evidence of any importance and the defense will be virtually the same as the first trial.
 We know Mrs. Carman is innocent, said George NJ. Levy, chief counsel for Mrs. Carman today, and we believe hat the jury this time will say so"

MRS. CARMAN's SECOND TRIAL FIR MURDER WILL BE SENSATION


 Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner, | NEW YORK, May 4.-FoI the second time within six
 months, Mrs. Florence Con lin Carman, wife of Dr. Ed win Carman, of Freeport, L.
 l., is again to be tried on a
 first degree murder indict-
 ment growing out of the kill ing of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the Carman home on the evening of June 30 last. The trial opened at an extra ordinary session of the Mas sau county court, which con- vened at Mineola yesterday with Justice A. E. Blackmar presiding. The first trial of Mrs. Carman, which also took place at Mineola, ended in a jury disagreement last October.
 Outside of the tragic features of the murder, the killing of Mrs. Bailey caused the most intense excitement throughout a large section of Long Island on account of the social promi- hence and wealth of Dr. Carman and his family Mrs. Carman, the accused woman, is the daughter of Frank c. Conklin, one of the wealthiest resi- dents of the south shore of Long Island. Mrs. Bailey, the murdered woman, was thirty-six years old and the wife of William Bailey, hat man. ufacturer in Brooklyn. Mrs. Bailey left two children, a daughter seventeen years oldsand a son twelve years ola.
 According to Dr. Carman, Mrs. Bail ey arrived in his office, which is in his home at Freeport, at 7:30 on the even ing of the tragedy. The physician tes- tified that he never before had met the woman. An hour after her arrival she was preparing to leave, when window pane was broken mans hand, holding a revolver thrust in and the shot fired that ended her life.
 Suspicion pointed to Mrs. Carman when it was learned from servants and members of the household that Nshe was insanely jealous of her husband. On one occasion, according to these statements, Mrs. Carman had slapped a nurse whom she found in company with her husband. It was because of this affair with the nurse, according to Mrs. Carmans own admission, that
