IAN O'CONNER BOUND OVER TO
 SUPERIOR COURT FUR. PERJURY
Justice Wheeler Places Bond at $1 000 ill Case of Man Who Circulated Referendum Petition to Prevent the Payment of Minimum Wage of $10 per Week to Work ing Women; Misrepresentation Is Claim of Witnesses

The defense offering no testimony, Dan O'COnnor was held to answer to the superior court yesterday by Justice Wheeler on the charge of perjury in securing signatures for the referendum petition to the minimum wage law for women. The state offered over whelmning evidence to prove that he had not witnessed the signatures which he sWore in an affidavit before J. H. Kinney, notary public, he had per sonally secured. It was also shown beyond doubt that the defendant had misrepresented the facts to many who were induced to sign by his state ments; that he had insisted upon their right to sign the names of other people and that names appeared on the petition with a local address when there were no such residents in the city.
 When he bound O'Connor over to the higher court, Justice Wheeler placed his bond in the sum of $i,000 His attorneys Leyhe and Wamslee made a strenuous effort to have the amount reduced declaring it to be an injustice. The court contended that after O'Con- nOr's unceremonious departure from the state at the beginning of the court proceedings he did not care to con- slider lowering the bail. He recalled the cost to the state in returning O'Connor from Long Beach, he said

MURDERED MAN THOUGHT T0b bE
 CHARLES BARR
Kingman Sheriff Believes
 Victim Found on Desert Was One of Two Leaving Arizona in Auto July 13

The mystery surrounding the find
 ing of the body of a murdered man on
 the Mojave desert, near Ludlow, San
 Bernardino county California, gave
 the authorities of two states work yes
 terday. So far as could be learned last
 evening, those engaged in this work
 had not succeeded in Identification of
 the slain man nor determined by whom
 he was murdered.
 There is a growing belief, locally,
 and in Mohave county, Arizona, that
 the dead man is Charles Barr, of
 Kingman According to a telegram re-
 ceived by The Republican from Sheriff
 J. N. Cohenour, of Kingman, last night
 Barr and E. C. Scott left Kingman for
 California on July 13. They were trav-
 cling in a Dodge car, the property of Ollie Lewis, of Chloride. The car car ried Arizona License Tag No. 5997 It was this tag that was found near the body of the murdered man. And it was the same Dodge car, so 1t is be- lieVed, that was found abandoned twenty miles further on. Sheriff Co., henour stated in his telegram that the description sent him. leads him to be- lieve that Barr is the man who was murdered.
 Information from other sources last | evening was that auto tracks lead away from the body in an eaSterIy direction. | It is presumed that Barr was returning i to Arizona. either ln company with Scott or some other person. His pock- cts were found turned out and every 1 thing removed.

Variation from

Murder will out. Finding neat bundle of clothing constituting all of the garments usually worn by a man at this time Of the year ana finding said incriminating evidence near the swimming place at Joint Head, divers and sundry brilliant detectives of amateur stripe and writers deduced the conclusion that there had either been man drowned or man murdered. They argued that men do not run about without clothing, hence if clothing is left, the owner must be dead.
 This theory gained currency even though the name of man appeared in the clothing. It might have ob- tained indefinitely had not some ere used to complicated reasoning, thought to telephone to J. Ems Sanders, whose name was in the clothing, to politely inquire if he was drowned or murdered. He said he was neither.
 1t seems it had not occurred to those handling the story that it has been a time honored oke to hide the clothing of one who is in bath ing. This rather obvious explana- ton was all there was to the murder and drowning alarm for MT. San ders' clothing had been so effective Iy hidden while he was in swinmino at Joint Head that he was unable to find the garments when he came out and so he went home with an acquaintance, travelling incoenito in his bathing costume.

 ]. H. Kinney acted as notary public serving O'Connor, the arrangements having been made by the Bess agency which had charge of the circulation of the petitions.
 Miss Vera NJ Wilky, the pretty daughter of Sheriff Wilky, stated that O'Connor secured her signature by as suring her the petition was to secure a s10 a week wage for the working girl. She said she had heard her mother refuse to sign, yet there ap- peared on the petition the signature of Mrs. M. Wilky," of 523 East Van Buren street, which is the Wilky family residence. She said that her mothers name was Emma M. and en- phatically denied she had signed the paper.

 The perjury complaint against O'Connor was brought by Thomas A. French. secretary of the state federa- ton of labor It charged that O'Connor had witnessed the signatures of Mrs. C. R. Dwyer Mrs. R. West, Miss c. Manzo, Mrs L. A. Monreal and Mrs M. Wilky, each of which had been frauduently entered on the petition the number of which was 163.
 The court room was crowded with the usual number of labor leaders who have taken the place of the usual court room habitues during the series of cases that have recently been on the docket. The hearing was set for 10 o'clock and by that hour every seat was taken. Counsel for the defense opened the proceedings by submitting a demurrer without argument. A dis missal was asked on the ground that the complaint did not conform to the requirements of section S35 of the penal code and did not state facts Suf- ficient to constitute a public offense. Justice Wheeler overruled the motion.
 The testimony was halted very con- siderably by the frequent objections of Mr Leyhe who declared that the county attorneys questions were, outrageousiy ledaing"

Pauline Frederick at Lamara

Pauline Frederick, whose dramatic gifts have been so lavishly displayed in Famous Players Paramount pro- auctions, proves her right to be con sidered one of the screens most versa tile actresses by her wonderful per
 formance in the role of Zelma Bryce in Sleeping Fires" This photoplay was written for Miss Frederick by George Middleton, the playwright, and gives the Famous Players star an op- portunity for the display of that histri- onic genius for which she has become renowned. Unlike "Sapho," in which Miss Frederick created a sensation re gently, Sleeping Fires shows the star in the role of a self sacrificing and devoted young mother who is forced to battle for her own rights against a thoroughly selfish nd disloyal husband. The man has fallen in love with his own secretary and is determiner to ob- tain a divorce from his wife in order to marry the other woman. Using their only son as a sort of weapon of
