BRING BARBOA FROM PRISON TO ASYLUM;
 HE APPEARS INSANE

Jesus Maria Barboa, the Mexican who made what was at first thought to be a confession that he murdered Mr and Mrs. Jacob Erhardt on the night of June 6, was brought to Phoe- nix yesterday afternoon from the state prison by Deputy Sheriff Al De Witt. The Mexican was placed in the county jail for the night and today he will be taken to the state hospital for the insane and kept under observation for several days.
 Barboa was brought to Phoenix at the request of Warden Powell of the state prison who stated that he thought the state hospital was the place for the Mexican whom he believes is insane. Barboa after his arrival in the sheriff,s office at o'clock yesterday afternoon gave no heed to his surroundings and did not look at anyone in the room, al- though he was the center of attraction for several who gathered to see him.
 Barboa, who is about 5 feet inches in height, and somewhat stopped, pre- scented a pitiful sight as he stood with lowered head in the jailer's office while the customary routine of placing a prisoner in the jail was taking place. His stare was blank and he appeared to have no interest in any movements made by the officers. When addressed in Mexican he answered at random either affirmative or negative. Accord

 Undersheriff c. H. Bowers, who re- turned from Los Angeles yesterday, is firmly of the opinion that Nose Gib- son, the negro sentenced to be hung at San Quentin on September A for the murder of Roy Trapp, a Fullerton, Calif. rancher, and who confessed that he had also murdered MT. and Mrs. Erhardt, is the slayer of the Phoenix couple.
 Mir Bowers, who went to Santa Ana and to Fullerton to investigate the mat ter, states that after viewing the scene of the Trapp murder and going over the details of the negro's confession, he has become strongly convinced that Gibson is the murderer wanted here. Sheriff Jackson of Orange county, he said told him the confession of the Erhardt murder was made voluntarily by the negro as they entered the ferry building in San Francisco after leaving the train.
 the ferry, the sheriff stated, and said ne wanted to tell him something. The negro then told him that he had mur- dered an old couple in Phoenix early | in June and declared that he did not know their names. The negro said he struck the man first and then the woman.
 Sheriff Montgomery and County At torney Laney will leave Phoenix Sun day night for San Quentin prison, California, to interview the negro and make certain whether he is the real slayer of the Erhardts-

ASK PERMISSION TO
 CHANGE EXPRESS RATE

An application has been filed by the American Railway Express company with the corporation commission ask ing permission to cancel the specific second class commodity rate of 59 cents applying between Phoenix and Casa Grande and also the S7-cent rate between Phoenix and Red Rock The carrier wishes to charge, in lieu of those rates, the second class rate of 96 cents to apply between Phoenix and Casa Grande and Red Rock.
 The applicant calls attention to the fact that the express rates between Tucson and Phoenix are higher than the rates between Phoenix and the same point, although the movement from Phoenix to Casa Grande neces- sitates transfer at Maricopa.

 Alleged Liquor Cache.
 The other incident in which Cooper was said to have been the leader, and with better success, was a booze game in which he is alleged to have implicated several prominent citizens who have appeared against him be- fore the agents of the department of justice, officials said yesterday, and who admitted their having had bus mess with him. He pretended. accord ing to these men and the officers, that he knew where a colonel of the United States army had hidden 3S0 cases of liquor and he informed his dupes, it is said, that he would sell them por- tions of the cache. From one prospec- tive customer Cooper is said to have obtained $144; from another, $175; from a third, $50. and from a fourth, $35. The liquor, it is said, never was delivered.
 The first charge was placed against Cooper by the department of Justice, which alleged that he was wearing the army uniform unlawfully. He was arr raigned Wednesday before John B.. Henke, United States commissioner. and after pleading guilty. was re- manded to the county jail in default of bond of $500. The Western Union Telegraph company yesterday charged him. before Justice Mckee, with ob- taining money under false pretenses. mentioning specifically the sum of $200, and charging that Cooper imper- sonated J. E. Larsen to receive the money which was paid to him by Beatrice Mettey. an employe of the telegraph company. Larsen, accord ing to the agents of the department of justice, is Cooper's brother in- law. Agents also said yesterday that after his arrest Cooper had returned to the company $50, which was all the money in his possession when he was taken into custody. He was held to answer by Justice Mckee under a bond of $1000, having waived examination.
 Cooper has refused to give the name of his father, who is a retired and wealthy business man, according to the sons story to the agents of the department of justice. and he also has refused to tell where his father lives, declaring that he is going to face his troubles out without bringing knowledge of them to his parents.

JONES AND WHITNEY
 ARE EARNEST RIVALS

If Attorney General Wiley E. Jones believes in signs he must have a shock every time he looks out of his window.
 Every time the attorney general passes the open door of his headquar- ters at the state house he is confronted with a broad banner on which in glar- ing letters the public is invited to vote for Louis B. Whitney for attorney gen. eral. The banner completely covers the back of an automobile, parked with the evident intention of being in plain view of the attorney generals offices in the rear oftthe state house.
 Interest in inc rivalry between MT. Jones and his former assistant for the Democratic nomination has overshad- owed any other political gossip at the capitol. Every day the friends of one or the other of the men .'start some thing which causes more or less talk for a favorite candidate. While both men seem to consider each other deadly Leslie Hardy is not without staunch supporters among the state house family, although his rivals have refrained as yet from injecting person. alities in the campaign as far as he is concerned.
