Unofficial reports late in the day

of the holly disputed Bourbon wood

by our barrages and the fire of our

threatened him with exposure.
The rest of the story related to the
cleaning up of the portable property
on the Hughes ranch and tentative
arrangement for selling the farm itself.
The boy was directed to gather up tax
receipts which Hughes had kept and
other papers on which the signature of
Hughes appeared, and to make a study
of it. When they had perfected their
plans Croft intended to go east and
sell the farm. Then they went to No
gales and thence to Ell Paso where
one of them was arrested for burg
larry after Croft had directed the send
ing of the telegram with Hughes
name signed to a bank at Tempe ask
ing for remittance of $500 through
an Ell Paso bank. That telegram fur
nished the clue.
Anderson said that they had not sold
all the hay when they left but a young
man who appears to have had no part
in the crime of murder or any knowl-
edge of it, was left behind and for
some days he continued the sale. His
name was not disclosed. But he is the
some young man sought for after the
story of the murder came out but he
had disappeared and has not since
been located.
During the relation of Anderson and
the testimony of the other witnesses
regarding the statement he made in the
office of the county attorney, Croft ap-
peared about the least interested audi
tor. There was a constant twitching
of the muscles of the jaw but that ap-
peared to be a physical affection rather
than a sign of mental disturbance.

however, that he had just been hurt in
an automobile accident and would be
unable to assist in the burial. He told
Anderson to do the best he could with
the remains. Anderson said the body
was too much for me to handle by
myself" and instead of taking it to the
place designated by Croft, he dragged
it to an irrigating ditch a few Yards
from the house and digging hole in
the bottom of the ditch, he put the
body, wrapped in the quilt, and COW
cred by an overcoat into it, and COW
cred it up. When done, the body was
covered by a foot and a half of earth
Hiding the Body
He reported to Croft what he had
done and Croft told him to keep watch
on the place and see that the earth did
not sink and later he told him to put
in a tapoon or headgate over it. After
that he said that he visited the Hughes
place every day to keep the water
running in the ditch and to take out
the mail left in the box. Among the
mail were letters containing checks
one for 5000 and the other for $240 from
the University of Arizona These
were turned over to Croft who had
forged the signature of Hughes and
cashed them. Then under the direction
of Croft, Anderson said that he began
selling the hay and the live stock All
the proceeds were turied over to Croft
Relating the means employed by
Croft to compel the commission of the
crime, he said that several horses and
a couple of mules belonging to Hughes
( had for some time before the murder
been hired on the HOugh ranch. Croft
had persuaded the boy to bring one of
the mules to Phoenix and sell it, Civ
ing the name of John Smith as the
owner and seller. After that Croft

WHITMAN AGREES
To MAKE ROOSEVELT
MAJOR GENERAL
Republican A. p. Leased W;rel


ALBANY, N. Y, May 16-At the con-
clusion of a two-hour conference to-
day with Governor Whitman, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt announced that he
would accept the governors offer of
a major generals commission in the
state militia if the federal army bill
We're passed with the provision to per-
nit him to go to Europe with an eX-
peditionary force.
Colonel Roosevelt said:
Governor Whitman has, as you
know, offered me the commission of
major general if the volunteer plan for
sending troops abroad is not acceptee
in Washington. The commission would
authorize me to raise one or more d.
visions in New York state, but the
members would not necessarily come
from this state"
After Colonel Roosevelt left town.
Governor Whitman explained that the
state constitution gave him authority
to appoint, without confirmation by
the senate, a major general of the state
militia at any time during war
emergency when the legislature was
not in session. The governor was care
full to emphasize that if Mr.. Roosevelt
were given a commission as major gen.
eral it would not be in the national
guard but in the state militia, which is
authorized by both federal and state
constitution.
Il think" said the governor, that
the offer of a commission as major
general is the very least that New
York state could make to man VINO,
formerly, as governor, was comman-
der in chief of the states military Or
ganization, who as president command
ed the land and naval forces of the

that senate has been delaying war
legislation.
Six weeks age today the war was
declared" Senator Lodge said. We
began by passing four great appro-
priation bills. We have passed great
loan bills: we have passed through
both houses 4 bill providing for Sc
lective CONSUMPTION.
England and Canada have been dis
cussing conscription for three years.
We've done it in both houses inside
of a fortnight"
Senator Poindexter said some peo-
pie seemed to have the idea that the
was would be won by legislation.
What power it is that the ad-
ministratioI wants." he demanded.
Does the president lack any author
ity to carry on the war;"
Senator Fall commented on the
failure of the administration to in
form congress officially df the pres
ence of the French and British COM
missioners and of the advice and sug-
gestions which they brought for the
benefit of the country.
Senator Saffr3th Of Colorado de
plored criticism of the executive
branch, saying the various govern
ment departments have been busy

Juneau Red Cross Author ized to Receive Rush Presents for Our
 Soldiers.
ANOTHER ALASKA CALL
Mrs. Z. R. Cheney Has Been Appointed Chair man to Receive
 Gifts.

Did you forget to buy package for the soldiers until it was too late, and then lament the fact that you did not get in on the shipment? Here is another chance for you.
 Juneau Chapter of the American Red Cross is in receipt of the fol lowing telegram from c. D. Stimson, manager of the Northwest Division:
 "An additional quota of Christmas packets has been called for. Your chapters additional allotment is one hundred and twenty-five packets.
 These must be in the division warehouse by December 10th. If you can send us contribution of one dollar per packet with list of contributors, we can have splendid packets prepared for you and send them to our men with card enclosed, bearing the name of the contribu- tor and chapter These presents mean much to our men and we shall welcome your assistance"
 The American Red Cross is on record as promising to see that ey- cry soldier and sailor shall receive must help make good this promise. The first allotment of one million Christmas packets, to which Ju- neau chapter contributed 75 pack ages and money for 75 more, through the Haines branch, is being rapidly prepared, and thousands are already being shipped by the various chapters. A call has come for 750,- 900 in addition. The first estimate did not include sufficient number as well as soldiers at home and abroad, could be taken care of. The Red Cross feels that it is matter of vital importance that the defend CTS of the Nation should not lack Yuletide cheer.

 The Mariposa is one of the histor- ic ships of the Pacific Coast and was built in Philadelphia in 1883. She was brought to the Pacific Coast and for many years operated from San Francisco to Honolulu and Australia under the flag of the old Spreckles line. Later she was laid up at Oakland for several years and was later purchased by the Alaska Steamship Company, together with her sister ship, the Alameda, for the northern run.
 The Mariposa was 314 feet in length, Al beam, IT feet depth and 315S gross tonnage. She carried a crew of 30 men and her engines de veloped $500 horse power She was one of the fastest boats on the north ern run and the record run from Seattle to Ketchikan has long been disputed between the Mariposa and Alameda.
 Officers of Steamer
 In addition to the ore cargo oJ. board the Mariposa had large ship ment of canned salmon which had been taken on board at Shakan just a couple or hours previous to the time she struck.
 Captain Charles J. O'Brien, of the Mariposa is one of the older navi gators on the Alaska run. He has been in command of ships on this run for the past twenty or more years This is his second accident About three years or more ago the Mariposa struck rock at Bella Bella, B. C.. but was saved. Captain O'Brien was not on watch at that time.
