PHOENIX, Oct. 19.-It is an old saying that during the session of the legislature most of the laws finally given to the people are framed at the Adams hotel Many a political plot has been matched in that hostelry and office has been temptingly dangled in front of the eyes of many man there. It was only last Saturday evening that a crowd of men from other parts of the state met in one of the rooms and decided to end all the turmoil and strife over the gov ernorship by nominating Ed Tovrea, the meat packer, for that position.
 Tovrea was present and although he felt flattered by the offers of sup port accorded him, was not in a re- ceptive mood and immediately voiced a declination. As result Bill Kelly, the Clifton editor, and his cronies, will have to look elsewhere for ma terial

LARGE WATER MAINS
 FFOR SHELDON STREET
(From Fridays Daily)

As fire protection, six-inch water mains similar to those now being laid in the downtown section of the city. will be put in along East Sheldon street between Mt. Vernon and Washington, according to plans now under consideration by City Manager John H. Robinson and City Engineer Cline There will be a sufficient quantity of the six-inch pipe available for this purpose, after the installa- ton of the downtown mains, Robin- son said yesterday.
 With the construction of a road to Whipple Barracks by way of East Sheldon, and with later paving of that street in prospect, the district is being gradually built up, and before long, it is expected, will be well set tied. This condition will require fire protection through the installation of fire hydrants and the high pressure by the larger mains.

Settlement of Hay-Pettis Case Out of Court Leaves Case at Bar Only Matter Remaining to Be Considered at Fall Term

With the announcement yesterday afternoon of the settlement out of court of the suit on contract between Hays and Pettis, the federal session here suddenly began coming to an end. The Elliott damage action against the Santa Fe was in course of trial, and as 1t was the last of the jury cases and bade fair to be fin ished within a few hours, 1t was ap- parent that the fall term was rapidly drawing to close.
 Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer and his secretary, H. w. Hall, will leave possibly tomorrow or Sunday for Phoenix, where the judge will sit in the court there for the balance of the time necessary to help clean up criminal and civil business.
 The discharge of all jurors in at tendance at this session is looked for this afternoon after completion of the Elliott case, and Deputy United States Marshal Fred Hudson, Clerk Clyde and other attaches of the court will be free to leave Saturday for the state capital.

MARBLE TO
 BE CONSIDERED FOR
 SPRECKELS TRIBUTE
CJournal-Miner Capital BureauO

PHOENIX, Oct. 20.-The Spreck- els memorial to be erected in Lincoln park, San Francisco, as a tribute to both the dead and living members of the American expeditionary force, may be constructed of Arizona marble. E. o. Mccormick, vice president of the Southern Pacific. has interested himself, and has urged its use, appealing to Governor Campbell to aid him in bringing about the de- sired result.
 There are several quarries in the southern part of the state where stone of a high quality can be se- cured Polished slabs, made up as samples, are very attractive. They are a conglomerate marble containing large pebbles of black, gray and grecnish marble in a light colored matrix In fact there are several varieties obtainable, including varie- gated material of many colors as well as pure white statuary marble. All of it is very hard and compact and of such a texture as to take a very fine polish.
 The merits of Arizona marble will soon be presented to Mrs. Adolph Spreckels, through whose philan- thropy is to be built the memorial, which will be in full view of all those who come in or go out the Golden Gate by ship or who visit the spot on foot or by machine from the land side. If favorable consideration IS given by her to the proposal it means not only fame for Arizona but the of an industry which, beyond doubt, would soon grow to large proportions.

of the oncoming oil train. Testimony of members. of the oil train crew all joined at the point where reference was made to the delivery Of the "washout" or emergency stop signal transmitted to the engine when the flagman shouted his warning. MT. Fleming, the engineer, testified he had made the stop by application of the emergency airbrake, and in view .of the great weight of the train and the slight down-grade, had made what his experience told him was a good stop. Plaintiffs testimony was that the train stopped in eight or nine car-lengths, while the defense thought it was nearer five or six lengths.
 In argument to the jury, Mir Stewart described the limited circum- stances of the widow, and her young daughters and declared that the jury should calculate the earning capacity Of the deceased at approximately $3,000 a year for the reasonable ex- pectancy of about 20 years and ren- der a verdict in accordance there with.
 Elliott, he said, had found a spot convenient for the health of his fam fly and had industriously worked for four years to settle himself in the community. He had acquired some mining properties which the widow would necessarily lose. By saving habits, he had acquired little irri- gated ranch near Kingman and was improving 1t. He had come into town to work through the winter to accumulate funds for further i'm provement of his home place, and was so employed in hauling lumber in his truck when he met his death.
 A large scale map of the city of Kingman and plat of the railroad crossing were displayed for conven- fence in pointing out the scene of the accident and there were photographs purporting to show the extent of damage to the truck by the train.
 Argument will be resumed this morning when the defense, represent ed by w. M. Reed of the Los Ange- les office and Norris & Norris of Prescott, will take up the case.

GRADE TRAGEDY |S DESCRIBED
 IN J. 5. COURT
Death of P. D. Elliott Described From Two Viewpoints in Tes- timony Introduced at $40,500 Death Damage Case
(From Fridays paily1


 Three trains in fairly rapid suc- cession crossed Fourth street, King man, Ariz., on November 3 last year, and Phillimones D. Elliott, 50-year- |old rancher and miner, drove to his death between them, according to testimony introduced in the 40,500 death damage action brought by the widow as administrative i'll federal court.
 When adjourning time came, the entire testimony had been introduced and the plaintiffs opening argument had been made to the jury by s. D. Stewart, counsel for Mrs. Elliott. The defense argument and closing statement will be, made beginning at 9:3O this morning, and it is believed the case will have been decided be- fore the day is over.
 Elliott met his death when the truck in which he was crossing the tracks was struck by the caboose of an eastbound oil train of 21 loaded tank cars. Defense testimony was taken from members of the train crew, but more particularly from Charles P. Wunderlich, the watch man at the crossing, who testified as to the manner in which the traffic there was handled by him at the time of the accident
 A train had been drawn up across the crossing just prior to the acci- dent and had been cut in two to all lew passage of the pedestrians and vericles. Some of the traffic had made the crossing when Wunderlich said he observed the rear of the oi! train approaching as it was being backed down the tracks. He dis played his stop signal and shouted, and Elliott appeared to halt his truck, but it then jumped forward The next thing the witness said he
  saw was Elliott with one hand on the windshield and one foot on the running board, apparently in the act of dismounting froh the truck. A beam of the caboose struck him on the head, killing him instantly.
 The plaintiff, represented by Nor -ison & Morrison, in addition to MT. Stewart, holds that the speed of the rain was in excess of the 4 to 6 niles an hour claimed by the defense Evidence of this is found in the damage done to the truck and the act that Elliott's head was so badly rushed by the impact with the car. The members of the train crew who testified included the engineer, ?. A. Fleming, E. NJ. Ripple, con- luctor, ]. T. Booth and L. J.I, the latter head brakeman, md E. H. Thorman, brakeman on he other freight, one of whose cars vas said to have obscured the sight
