WILL ARBITRATE ;e OF PURCHAS Duke's Quarrel With City Is Likely To Ee Settled. R. N. Fredericks For City and J. W. Sullivan For Johnny Duke Wil! Fix Price on Latter's Ranch, and City Will Buy it Later. From Saturday's Daily. R. N. Fredericks, cashier of the Prescott National bank, and Jerry W. Sullivan, one of the biggest cattle owners in northern Arizona, were yes terday appointed to arbitrate the dif ferences of John Duke and the city of Prescott anent the purchase of the Duke ranch near Precsott. Duke met Mayor Morris Goldwater early yesterday afternoon in the office of the latter and with City Clerk li. Moden they signed an agreement to settle differences between the city and Duke of long standing by leaving the matter to a board of arbitration. Fredericks represents Prescott and Sullivan will look after the interests of Dnke. They have no stated time with in which to reach an understand inc. Should they fail in a short time ther will select a third party to do the de ciding. The purpose of this arbitration is to fix a price on the Duke ranch of about 1000 acres, which is located east of the city on Granite creek near Fort Whip ple. They are to fix a price which must be paid by the city and fnust be accepted by Duke. When the city pays the price it will take over the ranch and all its im provements, including water rigbst, buildings and land under cultivation. It will mean the termination, also, of litigation that has been expensive 10 both Prescott and Duke. When the city installed its pumping plant on Granite creek above the Duke ranch Duke began suit in the district i court here to prevent them from pumping water, which he claimed was a part of the flow cf the river on which he had tiled. lu response to this the city filed condemnation suit against Duke for a certain part of his ground which they have been using for a sewer outlet Both matters have been pending for some years with no possibility of a settlement. Duke oifered to sell his ranch to the oity some time ago, asking $35,000 for the property. This amount the city refused to pay, and the matter went into the courts, one of the actions be ing carried to the supreme court. tj- It is expected that the price fixed by the arbitrators will be considerably less than that asked by Duke. He has agreed to abide by whatever decision is reached, and no matter how much less it may be will accept tint amount from the city. In addition to the value of the ranch as a sewer outlet for the city, members of the council are of the opinion that it can be made to pay an income Dy leasing it lor agricultural purposes.

"If my wife sees this I want her to come back to me, and I will forgive her for going away. It breaks my heart to have her away from me. I cannot live without her, and I want her back," said O. A. Holloway, pro prietor of the Bridge saloon and lodg ing house on West Gurley street yes terday afternoon. Holloway has appealed to Sheriff Lowry and Chief of Police Prince to aid him in the search for his wife. He believes she has eloped from the city with some other man, while utbers state that she is still in Prescott and is not guilty ot any wrong doing. Since last Wednesday night about 8 o'clock Holloway has been unable to locate his wife, though he has made search, and has sought for information that might lead to her whereabouts, Her absence seems to cause him sin cere grief. While Holloway is of the opinion that his wife left him last Wednesday evening, others, who should know, say that she was there as late as Thuredaj evening, but that she remained locked in a room while Holloway searched the building for her without success. Holloway entered one room and searched every corner, but failed to enter the one next to it, in which his wife was hidden from him. She left the building as soon as he left th place, and is now said to be hiding with friends. Yesterday an employe of Tilton machine shop went to the Bridge building and fitted keys to several the doors. Holloway says that his wife locked up the building while be was out, and that he has bad to have these keys made in order to enter. Asked yesterday if he suspected any one with whom his wife might have eloped, Holloway said that he did not but that if they would return ho would gladly tak6 bis wife back, and forgive and forget. Holloway denied yesterday that he has mistreated his wife or that ho had been drinking for the past three days. He says that all his wife's clothing is still in her room with the exception of her street dross and a lone crav walking cloak. She left everything just as though it was her intention to return shortly. Mr. and Mrs. Holloway have been married for the past seven years and have no children. Two of their friends stated yesterday that they have occasionally had family quarrels, but that Mrs. Holloway was a bard work ing woman and gave her husband no cause for jealousy. Last Thursday evening Mrs. Hollo way stated to friends that she could not stand the conditions surrounding her home any longer, and that she would leave to better her condition, Mutual friends hope that the couple may. be reconciled and the husband certainly displays genuine grief in being separated from his helpmate.

CASHIER HAYS IS ACQUITTED LOS ANGELES, April 28. The jury in the United States circuit court this evening returned a verdict ac- quiting ex-Cashier H. T. Hays, who is charged with embezzlement, the action being brought in connection with troubles of the Orange Growers Na tional bank, at Riverside, of which Hays was cashier. Paper3 filed with County Recorder Moshcr yesterday, which transfer the property of the Bradshaw Mountain Copper Mining & Smelting company to the Arizona Smelting comnanv mean another step toward the erection of a COO-ton smelter at Val Verde by New York and Prescott capitalists. At a meeting of the Bradshaw com pany on April 19 of this year the di rectors passed a resolution, authoriz ing the sale of the Val Verde property to the Arizona' Smelting company in consideration of the latter assuming a mortgage for 833,000, held by the Commercial Trust company of Phoe-nir. Another consideration is an aeiee- mens mac tne Arizona company will smelt the ores of the Bradshaw company for the next five years for S4.00 per ton treatment charges on a neutral basis. At the meeting that passed this resolution Presidont Cyrus Robinson and Secretary Benjamin Prince were authorized to carry out the terms of the resolution, and papers have been fixed up whereby the Arizona company assumes the mortgage and takes pos session of the Val Verde property. The principal property in the trans fer is the Val Verde smelter site, con sisting of about sixty-five acres on the bank of the Agua Fria. It is the same site as that on which the Bradshaw smelter stood before it was destroyed by flr- a few months ago. The Bradshaw company sells all its machinery, buildings and other prop erty, including the Bettle, Butterfly, Rear Admiral, Admiral, Iron Cap claim and millsite, Lime Point, Lime Kiln and Boston mining -ilaims in the Agua Fria. Another valuable asset purchased by the Arizona company is 100 miners' inches of water in the Agua Fria riv er, which will.be used in the smelting or ores. There is a telephone line from Val Verde to McCabe included in the transfer. tion of the federal court. The order of Jndge Konlsaat commands that all defendants refrain from any interfer ence with the business of the Employ ers Teaming association and'eommanda the strikers to refrain from picketing, massing on street?, or from interfering in any manner with non union men in its employ. As soon as the injunction was print ed on large cards two were attached to every wagon of Employers' Teaming association, which went on the streets The injunction exerted a pacifying influence and there is less rioting today. BOWEN MUST EXPLAIN HIS PECULIAR CONDUCT Taft Wants to Know Why He Did Not Stand Up at Car acas For Loomis DENY MOTION TO DISMISS NAN By Associated Press. WAS II 1NGTON, April 28. Secretary Taft is considering the advisability of ordering Minister Bowen, who is at Caracas, to report on the charges against Assistant Secretary Loomis, which he has conveyea to Taft in a personal letter. If President Roosevelt assents an or der will be issued immediately. This proceeding is determine precisely the extent of Bowen's responsibility for the circulation of these charges. , The official mind is here is made up as far as Loomis is concerned. It is absolutely convinced of bis innocence of any wrong doing while minister to Venezuela. That being the case, it is felt here that Bowen in order to es cape the blume himself must show hat he did one of two things that teither by private inquiry at Caracas be arrived at another conclnsion of the truthfulness of the charges or that be did what he could to denounce them and discourage their circulation in Venezuela. Months ago Bowen ' reported to Se cretary Il&y that rumors affecting tho integrity of his predecessor were in circulation at Caracas and that to his knowledge these rumors have been transmitted to the various European capitals. Hay communicated the message to the president and then admonished Bowen that it was scarcely becoming to an American minister to allow his predecessor to be traduced when the honor of the mission was involved. In the meanwhile investigation here ' has satisfied the authorities of the in nocence of Loomis. It is not doubted that the president will accept Secre tary Taft 's suggestion and Minister Bowen will take the next steamer to this o luntry. ALGER'S VIEWS ON STATEHOOD By Associated Press.
