 Defeated The Radicals
 Judge Baker was not present that afternoon. but he appeared at the evening session and in ringing speech he taunted the radicals and finally moyed for the striking out Of this and that clause, shaming enough of the conservatives to stand to- gether for the defeat of the work of the afternoon.
 No other office was sought by Judge Baker until 1918 when he an- nounced his candidacy for the su- prene bench to which he was elected for a term of six years.
 On February 2. 1881, Judge Baker married Miss Mary J. Alexander of Yuma, daughter of H. N. Alexander, attorney for the Southern Pacific railway company. Beside Mrs. Baker, he is survived by two daughters. Mrs. John H. Page of this city and Mrs. Clarence I. Stacy of Colorado, and two sons. AlexaDder B., and Robert ", both of this city.

GUESSING WHO WILL. GET PLACE ON BENCH

There was natural speculation even before the death of Judge Baker as to his successor and that was intensified yesterday when news of his death was received. Though no word came from the office of the governor who could not have been expected to discuss the appointment in the circumstances, various sug- gestions were offered on the street and elsewhere
 There seemed to be a general men, tion of the name of F.. J. Fiannigan of Bisbee for the reason that he had been a candidate for that office at the election last November. The name of Judge kibbey was also frequently heard. But 1t is not ex- pected that the slightest word will emanate from the inner office of the governor until after the funeral.

 BELFAST, Aug. 31-Although the truce between the discordant factions Is being observed throughout the re- mainder of Ireland. Belfast again to- day experienced another period of terror from gunmen and snipers. As result the death list was augmented by six. while 30 persons were injured many seriously.
 Today's casualties bring the total roll for the three days rioting to 15. There probably have been 100 per- sons more or less seriously injured, of whom numbers were non-com- batant
 With some quiet intervals, result Ing from the police putting snipers to flight, shooting persisted at various sections of the city from early morn Ing until late this evening. Some times it became so dangerous as to necessitate suspension of the tram way service. Many workers could not reach their places of employment md returned home while shopkeepers did not dare to open their stores. In some disturbed districts manufactu- ries were compelled to close.

 Came To Phoenix In 1879
 Judge Baker came to Phoenix in 1879 when this was a frontier village. He entered at once into public activ- ity and the following year was elected to the council of the Eleventh terri torial legislatureswhich then met in Prescott He was made chairman of the judiciary committee and in that capacity he fathered the bill for the incorpoi ation of Phoenix. He was foremost figure in forming the first territorial Democratic organization. He practiced alone for several years in this city, and in 1887 became the senior member of the firm of Baker and Bennett. A large general prac- tlce was soon established which com nected him with much of the inn portant litigation then coming be- | fore the'courts.
 From 1882 to 1884 Judge Baker served as county attorney and for four years as city attorney. He was for like period United States district I attorney, holding the same office many years later. He was a delegate to the national Democratic convention in 1892. one of the provisional dele gates, and there in an eloquent ad- dress he urged and secured a larger representation for the territories in | Democratic conventions.
 Tn 1893 he was appointed by Presi- dent Cleveland as chief justice of the supreme court of Arizona. an office he held throughout that administra- | ton. At the close of his term he re- stunned the private practice of law in | which he continued with a single interruption--that of a second term in the office of district attorney until his election 10 the supreme bench of the state in 1918.
 To Supreme Bench
 Tn the late eighties Judge Baker formed n law partnership with Joseph H. Campbell which continued until he was appointed to the su- preme bench of the territory. On his retirement from the bench he formed partnership with Walter Bonnet,
 which continued for several years. Judge Baker was one of the dele gates to the constitutional conven- ton in 1910. It may now be stated
 that he was not in sympathy with the overwhelmingly prevalent radica l sentiment in that body. He was ire quently in a group consisting of . [ handful of the Republican members
 and three or four of the Democratic 5 members. There were several othel z Democrats who were inclined to con. servatism. but they were fearful O { the then radical sentiment of thu [ state and offered no opposition [, : the rule of the radicals.
