WHEN DEWEY MET BANCROFT
Little Incident That illustrates the
Natures Of TWO Great and Well.
Loved Americans.

In the late seventies Of the last
century Admiral Dewey-then Com
mander Dewey-was stationed at
Washington, where he was serving his
term Of shore duty as naval secretary
Of the lighthouse board.
With the passage Of time, he saysin
his Autobiography" I had lost none
of q Vermonter's fondness for good
horsefesh, and riding was my favOrite
exercise. On my afternoon "cOnstltu.
tionals" I often came up with fine
looking, white-bearded old gentleman
who always wore German cap.
Sometimes as / overlook him | would
draw rein, and we would pass the
time of day. Then, as liked to 80
faster than he did, I would draw ahead
of him, always receiving the pOlltest
bow in exchange for my own.
He struck me as most delightful
person, and I conceived real liking
for him. One day 1 asked the watch
man at the gate Of the Soldiers Home
who this gentleman was. He ans
wered, Ellis name is Bancroft, and 10
is from Berlin" From that knew
that he was the historian and former
Secretary of the Navy, and that he
must have acquired liking for Ger
man caps when he was our minister to
Germany.
The next time I met him when
was riding I introduced myself and
said:
"As an officer Of the navy, who owes
so much to the Naval Academy that
you established, l want to thank you.

Watts, who was seated beside me on

round facing me and said:
who are you and where are you

replied that was a deputy sher-
III from Vermilion and that ! had
arrested him on suspicion of having
committed burglary there a week
before.
why, l was never in Vermilion

have made big mistake"

We'll, you are very badly mistaken
now" answered Watts, and with this
ne stopped talking and seemed to be
at his ease, as he knew that he could
not be identified at Vermilion and
felt sure that he would be released.
In due time we arrived at East
st. Louis, when l explained that l did
not care to proceed to Vermilion
that night as had some business to
attend to, and therefore I proposed
that we stay over night in the city
and take the first train out to Yer
million in the morning. Watts ap-
peared perfectly satisfied. According
ly brought him across the river and
took him to the Four Courts, turning
him over to Major MCDonough, chief
of police, who was an old friend of
mine. The next morning we took an
early train for Indianapolis. Just as
the Wabash river, which separates
Illinois from Indiana was reached,
Watts turned upon me with an oath

The Board of Supervisors employed A. A. Worsley as their special coun- sel. I did not appoint MT. Wors- ley as my deputy, yet the fee paid to him is charged to my expense ac- count, amounting to $500. .00.
 The cases of O. J. Cotey vs. Green lee county and State of Arizona vs. c. I. Paddock, were instituted before my election to office. I had repre- sented MT. Cotey and MT. Paddock in their respective cases and was therefore disqualified to represent the county. E. V. Horton, my predeces- sor in office, was employed by the Board of Supervisors, in both of these cases and the fee paid him appears above as an expense incurred by me, amounting to $350.00.
 The expense incurred by E. V. Hor- ton in the above mentioned Cotey case I have had no connection with, and amounts to $229.O
 These items of expense which I have not incurred but which have been charged up to my expense ac- count amount to $146S .63.
 The total expense charged to my office amounts to STAY 50.
 The difference between these two amounts is $27S.S7.
 This amount, s27SS7, represents the total expense actually incurred year 1915, and this amount includes the $12O. % paid the attorney who filled the office during my vacation. 1 I do not wish nor intend to impute any blame to any one but l desire to

 Official announcement was made this week by Attorney General Jones and Superintendent Of Public Instruc- tion c. O. Case of the board of pardons and paroles of the appointment of Curt w Miller of Tempe as citizen member and chairman of the board, to fill the vacancy. that will be creat- ed by the resignation of Chairman Frank F. Trott, who has been appoint ed surveyor general. MT. Trott has not yet resigned but will do so some time this week, or as soon as he has been fully qualified for the office of surveyor general -.s ..,
 There will be meeting of the board some time this week to dispose of cer- tain matters that are pending and which it is desired shall be disposed Of before the retirement of Trott.
 The appointment of MT. Miller will give general satisfaction. It was the belief of both the attorney general and MT. Case that a newspaper man should be on the board and there is none more capable of discharging the duties of the office than MT. Miller, who is the owner and editor of the Tempe Daily News. The office work of the board devolves chiefly upon the chairman.
 It had been understood by the ex- officio members of the board that MT Milier should be che sen, but that Was not formally agreed upon by them until yesterday morning.. when Mr. Miller was summoned by telephone to come to the capital.

SUM MARY

The total expense charged against the County Attorneys office for the year 1915, assuming the duties of the office January 1st, 1915, amounts to $1747. 50.
 Of this amount $1468 .63 has not been incurred by me as will appear by examining the above itemized statement.
 "Transcribing' by the Court Report CT is a COST OF THE COURT and the law fixes the pay, and the trans cribed record" in preliminary examina- tions never becomes a part of the record of my office but is filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court. This cost of Court which should not be charged against my office amounts to S164 10.
 Greenlee county Law Library under the law of the State is in the custody of the Judge of the Superior Court, the expense of maintaining this Lii brary is provided for by a state law and is a special land. Yet 5000 law book, labels and placards are charged to the County Attorney s office amounting to $40. 50. I invited Judge Laine to accompany me to Morenci in an automobile which auto hire I paid out of my private funds, this is charged as an expense against my office, amounting to $2 100. 1 A typewriter, which is the county property, was bought by the Board of Supervisors for the County Attor- ney's office, is charged to the expense account of the county attorney amounting to, $S3.03.

 You will note that in all the cases brought before Court there has been but one acquittal and one trial re- lsulted in a disagreement of the jury. The case against Justin Allison was tried in this county on a change of venue from Graham county and was prosecuted by MT. McGowan of Ora ham county. The case against C.. I. Paddock was prosecuted by A. A. Worsley and E. V. Horton, employed for that purpose by the Board of Su- pervisors of this county, being dis qualified by reason of having defend ed MT. Paddock in a previous trial wherein the jury disagreed. I conducted all of the other cases from their beginning.
 No pleading filed by me during my term of office has been dismissed up on motion or demurrer
 No case prosecuted during my term of office has been appealed. It has been my effort to keep friv- olous cases out of courts and bring prisoners to trial as soon as practica- ble and thus keep the jails from being crowded.
 Feeding prisoners at Clifton and Morenci in 1914 before I became County Attorney was $4700 .00.
 During my term of office, this ex- pense has been but $1050. %. A saving in one year of $3650 %.
 The Superior Court expense has been $260O. % less than in 1914.
