Ned ran to the window, drew a 70

In menacing view.
The intruder turned, dashed from
the room into the hall and disap-
peared. Valiantly triumphant. Ned
went back to the parlor, for the first

fairly awed. "And here's a great big
wallet stuffed full of papers and bank
notes. and right across 1t Is stamped
the name of Martin Brill In gilt letters.

the old man before he came here"
Half an hour later Ned stood In the
garden of the Brill home. Gazing into
the one lighted room Of the place he
saw Brill tied to a chair and striving
to dislodge a gag in his mouth. He
was frantic; he tore his hair; incoher-
emily he babbled forth the visit of a

ITO your daughters home. A funn,
thing has happened, and If you want
your wallet back you've got to go with
me there"
Half, distracted, fully mystified, Mar
tin Brill consented to the strange pro
posal. Arrived. Ned told his story,
produced the wallet and restored 1t to
its owner.
"Oh lad. you've won my eternal graf

but paused abruptly, his eyes fixed
upon a decorated framed portrait Of
himself.

A salesman was showing an elderly

RENT CARS ID CHARGE
 MORE WHEN RUNNING .O|V STAGE LINE ROUTE

Operators of for-hire automobiles henceforth will be required by the state corporation commission to charge 10 per cent more than prevail ing stage fares when hauling passen- gers over routes served regularly by licensed stages, according to commis- sion announcement yesterday, the only exception being that regular stage fares may be charged after hours on routes where three or more daily trips are scheduled.
 but it's enforcement is said to have been overlooked, yesterdays order be- ing to protect the stage companies against the increasin encroachments of the "priyateers."
 As a counter protection for the for hire cars, the stage men are required to stick to their schedules instead of attempting to haul passengers on reg ular rates after schedule hours while requiring the for-hire men 10 charge the 40 per cent additional. The coun- ter protection rule gives a stage status as such only for the official scheduled stage time.
 The stage companies are granted their protection from the for-hire com panies on the ground that they are entitled to special consideration in re- turn for the requirement that they shall maintain service in indictment weather and under adverse conditions of all sorts.

STATE BUYS SCHOOL
 BOOKS AND FINDS
 THE PRICES SWOLLEN

School books are on the high cost of living wagon, along with shoes and other little necessities. according to the annual bids that were received yesterday by the state board of educa- ton, the bids averaging from 35 to 10 per cent higher than heretofore. In the rural schools and wherever books are furnished by the state, only taxpayers in general will feel the pinch, but elsewhere the difference in prices will hit direct in the home
 The board meets again today 70 finish it's work, yesterdays work be- bids and to adopting the Houghton, Mifflin & Go. bid for new arith- metic. The contract on that bid probably will be closed today.
 The board is reported to be in some doubt about its authority to proceed with all the book buying this year for which occasion is believed to exist. that the problem may be handled to some extent by the adoption of sup pIemental books which would not alter the legal status of the books that may have to hold over in the curricu lums because of the statute limita tions.
 An urgent need is reported for the recent great changes that have taken place. In other departments of the curriculum new book contracts are required to replace contracts expiring on May E, but the statutes limit the number of changes that may be made in one year. and the advanced price for all books is said to be causing serious concern
 A score of book agents" waited in the capitol rotunda yesterday while the school board was in session, and Governor Campbells desk was stacked two feet high with samples of books the agents had for sale.
 The states annual bill for school books has averaged around S70.OOO. but the bill this year is expected to exceed $100,000 on account of the en- hanced prices.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
 IS IN NEW DANGER

Whittling boards may be placed at 10-foot intervals througbour the two new structures which the state is building off the industrial school at Fort Grant, according to plans now under consideration by Andrew Bau- inert. ir., secretary Of the state board of institutions.
 Secretary Baumert says he is greatly. concerned about the safety of those structures, and the buildings will stand the state about s65, 900 when completed next May, as they have hardwood floors and nifty walls and other meritorious points of ex- cellence which may not be appreciat- ed by the kids. many of whose former homes were in adobe houses or other kinds of shacks.
 At present the states kids are quartered in comfortable. but not beautiful buildings on the Fort Grant grounds, where esthetic surroundings do not prevail. The new buildings, it is claimed. will inculcate in the boys a taste for higher things unless the powers of the kids should prove su- perior to the powers of the surround ings.
 To forestall possible mural mutila- tions. the whittling- board program is proposed, it being believed that soft pine placques of low cost will prove far more enticing than the harder woods of the basic structures. The secretary thought deeply upon the suggestion for whiting boards, yes terday. and eviDced every inclination of committing himself favorably thereon at an early date

PLEASAN I WEEK AND PROFITABLE
 SAYS MIR. COOK

Benning P. Cook of San Francisco, Calif.. representing Senator Hiram w. Johnson, who is a candidate for the re . publican nomination for the pFeSl- dency, who has been making Phoenix his headquarters for the last three weeks, leaves this morning for the northern part of the state and will soon return to California In the course or his stay Mir. Cook has seen nearly every active republican in the central and southern part of the state ana though he found a strong sentiment for General Wood who was endorsed by the convention he discovered or deyel- oped great 6eal of friendly sentiment toward Senator Johnson and is well pleased with the result of his work.
 Speaking of his observations and the political situation as he found it in the various sectors of the state visited by him thus far. MT. Cook said:
 "I have found the people of Arizona most cordial and friendly. Of course expected that. I spent almost two years in Arizona, in the army anc as editor of the Douglas Daily Dispatch and I knew the hospitable ways of Ari- zonians, but the reception accorded me, has been most gratifying. Now on the eve of leaving Phoenix, I will say that I expect to return to Arizona following the Chicago convention as a represen- tatiye of the republican nominee for the presidency-Hiram Johnson of California
 My sojourn in Arizona has given me fair insight as to political condi- tions. I am candid in saving that there to Senator Johnson. They will work for his election after he has been nomi- mated.
 "The candidates in the field for the republican nomination are all men worthy of the great office, but I can't hel hJ,t aPd that Sar3ofnf. TnhnCnf1 pears at this time to have a lead. l want you to watch the returns from the North Dakota primary tomorrow. A week from tomorrow keep your eye on South Dakota and two weeks from tomorrow watch Michigan. I think Senator Johnson will demonstrate his popularity and sterling worth by the returns from the states mentioned.
 To-day I received word from II. l.. Carnahan, western manager for Sem ator Johnson, that within a few days there would be some big news from the east. Senator Johnson is very popular in the east His fight for American ism has won him friends in New Eng land, the south. middle west and throughout the great western country Johnson will go to Chicago with a big lead and indications point clearly to his nomination.
 "The people of Arizona can feel cer- tain that with Senator Johnson as the republican nominee, the party will sweep the country.
 Tn central, southern and eastern Arizona, I find Senator Johnson has a very large following. He is popular in all circles and this will make his norni- nation popular one here.
 "I want to thank the many friends for their courteous treatment and I am leaving Phoenix with much regret and I am going to add in conclusion that you have one of the greatest cities in one of the greatest states in the country and I am coming back here some day.

GAR STRUCK BY SANTA FE TRAIN
 BUT NJ ONE INJURED

Quick action on the part of the motorman averted a serious accident at 9:15 o'clock last evening. when Santa Fe train No. 2. south bound from Ash Fork. struck the front end Of a street car at the railroad crossing on West Adams street. Only six pass engerS were on the car at the time. The front end of the car was demo1- ished and lifted from the trucks. The steps saved the car from tipping over.
 Motorman Carroll stated that the brakes failed to work properly and had allowed the car to run about two feet on the tracks. The train was about 300 yards away when he noticed it and. seeing the collision could not be ayerted. immediately hustled the four passengers on the front end Of the car and got off himself just as the crash came. Two women on the back section were much too frightened, they said, to move and sat still. Conductor Thomas had just gotten off to flag the crossing.
 Samuel H. Mitchell. general man. ager of the street railway company, said last evening that it was a lucky accident. but one which would cripple the street car system materially, as they are already short of cars. He said that he had just telegraphed to San Diego for a couple of cars which would be here in a few days. He es- timated the damage to the Car at s3000.
 Mir. Mitchell stated that he had every confidence in Motorman Carroll and believed that the accident was un. avoidable. He gave much credit to him for getting the passengers eff safely. The train was not travelling at a great speed and came to stop with n 800 feet after the collision.
