THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN TAVELFTH YEAR. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1901. VOL. XII. NO. 157. THE LAST WORD Evidence in Rebuttal Against Schley MUST BE MATERIAL Ho New Testimony-Will fie Allowed Chadwick Flatly Contradict the Admiral's Statement Regarding the Receipt of the So-Called Pre cautionary Dispatches Schley's Last Witness Testifies to His ' Bravery at Santiago. Washington, Oct. 31. In the Schley court of inquiry a number of witnesses were introduced by Judge Advocate Lemly to testify in rebuttal to the evl- dence given in Schley's behalf. The court decided early in the day that no witnesses could be introduced at this stage of the proceedings to give testi mony as to immaterial points. This announcement was made in con nection with an efTort to piove the con versation aboard the Massachuetts in which Lieutenant Sears, who wan Schley's flag lieutenant, is reported to have said: "For God's sake don't dis courage him? Chlm' meaning Schley) It's all we have been able to do to work h'm up to this point." "The announce ment had the effect of relieving several witnesses who had been called to tes tify concerning the conversation, which is said to have occurred on the Massachusetts Just before the recon noisance of May 31. On the other hand the 'court heM that it was not bound by ordinary pro ceedings in civil cases as to the time wiien its testimony can be taken; that witnesses might be called or recalled at any time for the purpose of making additions to their former statements, but that none of them could reiterate testimony previously given. This deci - sion was rendered on accoun of an ob jection raised by Mr. Rayner to cllow ing Captain Sigsbee to give new testi mony when he was called as a witness for rebuttal purposes. , The witnesses in rebuttal were Cap- tains, Sigsbee, Chadwick. Eaton, Lieu tenant Hoys and Quartermaster Ander son. Chadwick in his statement today said that precautionary dispatches from the navy department in regard to attacking the Spanish shore bat teries bad not been communicated -,o Schley. This statement Is regarded as of great importance by Schley's op lionents. as it distinctly contradicts Schley's statements. Sigsbee testified concerning his inter view on the Brooklyn with Schley. Eaton was the commander of the dis patch boat Resolute during the war and his testimony related largely to the events which occurred Just before and Just after the battle of July 3. lieu tenant Roys was aboard the Eagle and testified about the Eagle meeting the Brooklyn. He stated that the Eagle's commander requested to be allowed to coal from the Merrimac instead of be ing sent to Port Antonio. Anderson said he was chief quarter master of the Brooklyn during the war and was at the wheel during the battle of July 3. He said Schley had given the order "hard aport," but when the order was given the vessel was then bard aport. Before these witnesses Captain Borden of the marine corps the Brooklyn testified that Schley had . borne himself honorably during the battle. He was the last of Schley's witnesses.

FRIENDLY TO SCHLEY A Charge Which Has Been Made Against Dewey . His Resignation From the Metropoli tan Club Construed As a Resent ment of Charges Made Against Him. Washington, Oct. 31. The resignation of Admiral Dewey from the presidency of the Metropolitan club, coming in the midst of the Schley inquiry, has given rise to the report that It was caused by the criticism, made by members of the club, of the rulings of the court of which Admiral Dewey is president. It Is said that the comments on some tf tne rulings of the court have been very bitter and that Dewey and his asso ciates have been charged with favor ing Schley. By the admiral's friends It is as serted that the resignation is not due to any friction in the club. They say that his time has been so much occu pied with the duties of the court for the last month that he could not at tend properly to his duties as president of the club, and so resigned the office. As the work of the court Is almost completed and as the presidency of the club was never a very exacting posi tion, some other reason for the ad miral's resignation must be sought than that .given by his friends.' It has not been noticed generally by those In attendance on the court that its decisions have been so favorable to Schley as to excite criticism, although it is true that in almost every instance where there has been a controversy, the position of Schley's counsel has been sustained. In most instances those disputes have involved questions of little Importance. Only one of the court's decisions can be said to have any serious bearing on the presentation of the case. That was the refusal of tae court to allow Admiral Sampson the right to be represented by counsel In order to defend himself against the imputations of Schley's counsel upon his professional conduct. Had the scope of the inquiry been broadened m as to cover Admiral Sampson's conduct as well as Admiral Schley's, the friends of Sampson believe that the principal line of Schley's defense would hare broken down. In addition it would have brought into the case legal talent of which the department has stood sadly In need. It happened, however, that the Judge advocate opposed the admission of Sampson's counsel, so that the court cannot fairly be charged .with hia-kJn. if--lnr it . ... The decisions of the court have been apparently fair and impartial. The Impression prevails, however, that Ad miral Dewey leans rather to the Schley side of the case. That impression has been caused, not from-Anything he has said. In private or from his conduct as a member of the court, but because there is a great deal of Schley feeling in his Immediate family and social circle, and because it is known that "ie has no friendly disposition to Admiral Crownlnshield, the head of the bureau of navigation. Admiral Dewey would net consciously allow himself to be in fluenced by other circumstances, and perhaps the impression is Incorrect. Admiral Benham's family connec tions, it is known, are all with Schley, and yet. Admiral Benham Is the one member of the court who in the ques tions he has framed has brought out the most damaging testimony against Schley. There are a great" many naval officers In the Metropolitan club, and with few exceptions they are strongly opposed to i Schley. Any development In the court at ail favorable to Schley excites their resentment and gives riso to enlivening controversies in the club. a great deal of criticism has undoubt edly been leveled at the court, but whether that Is the cause of Admiml Dewey's resignation nobody but Ad miral Dewey knows, and he will not tell. VAUDEVILLE FOR EMPLOYES. Entertainment For the Men Who Have Taken Strikers' Places. "Chicago. Oct. 31. Officials of the Al-lis-Chalmers compajiy have hit upon a new plan for preventing defection of employes.

An unex plained tragedy came to light today at Granville, a small village about ten miles southwest of La Salle, by thJ finding in a well of the dead bodies of three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cam per.

TURKEY TO BE CALLED JJ0WS France Decides on Baval Demonstra tion. Paris, Oct. 31. A decision to make a naval demonstration - against Turkey was taken up at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The newspapers approve the government's decision. The Journal Des Debats says: "Ev eryone at Constantinople and other capitals must know that France and Russia are completely in accord in this matter. Under these circumstances it is difficult to believe that the Ottoman government will not come to its senses and relieve us of the necessity of using other means than diplomacy.' Late tonight the following dispatch was received from Toulon: "The com plete Mediterranean squadron returned to Toulon this evening and anchored In the roadstead." This includes Admiral Gaiilard's division, whose departure Is either countermanded or postponed. If the dispatch is correct, it would im ply that the government has received word. from. ,(ontntlnonle since, JBlXn lng, which has not yt been divulged, and which induced a change of plan. The Marseilles correspondent of the Matin says the return was due to the fact that the squadron had only two days' rations. A DEMOCP.ATIC- , APPOINTMENT. Washington. Oct. 31. Frank I.

ASPIRING TO A STAR r The Movement in Oklahoma for Statehood it Is Desired That the Indian Territory Join in the Applica tionA Great -Convention Next Konth- Guthrie. Okla., Oct. 31. The single statehood convention at Muskogee. 1. T.. on Nov. 14, Is a. good thing In thj estimation of Governor W. M. Jenkins of Oklahoma, for It will give the people of Oklahoma and Indian Territory an opportunity to talk over the question of statehood. By single statehood is meant the union of the territories in one state. "I think the time has come when the people of the two territories should get together and discuss this question of statehood." said Governor Jenkins. ."I believe that Oklahoma can present all of the qualifications that congress would ask of a state, but we are not yet admitted. Why? It may be that congress has an idea . of making one state of the two territories; and if this is the case. Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory should discuss the question. I have never advocated any particular form of statehood, nor do I now. "The holding of the convention at Muskogee will give the people of Okla homa an opportunity to see the Indian Territory and ascertain what they have to offer us In return for our institutions and wealth. One thing Is certain, the discussion of this matter can do no harm, and may result In much good for both territories." Governor Jenkins makes a strong showing for statehood for Oklahoma in his report Just issued and addressed to the secretary of the Interior. The various arguments which have been presented in previous efforts to secure statehood are set forth in a succinct manner, in the hope that Secretary Hltcheock may give the movement his official indorsement in his annual re port to conugress. One of the strongest arguments, from the viewpoint of the number affected, is that Oklahoma now has a greater population than a:;y one of eight states. Of course this would have little bearing on the matter if there were no other considerations, - But the people of Oklahoma are of the right kind to make a state. They are intelligent, prosperous and progressive: they are home builders; they are patriotic and wide awake, and have all the essential qualifications for citizenship in the federal tuiiuiu.. ' Any idea that the people of Oklahoma nre uncouth dwellers in the wilderness Is dispelled by the showing made re garding the excellent school system of the territory. Educational Institutions dot the territory from one end to the other, and the people take great prid In them. Commencement day In Oklahoma always draws an immense crowd, and the governor Is kept busy for about three weeks making a tour of the various colleges and universities. Governor Jenkins incidentally refers to the recent land openings, and strongly favors the lottery plan, point ing out the fact that everything went off without a hitch and expressing the hope that the same plan will be adopt ed in all future openings of public lands. It is probable that the fight for state hood will be opened with renewed vigor this winter, and that it will succeed if it is not loaded down with riders and politics. The people feel they are en titled to statehood regardless of the political complexion of the territory. A RIPE OLD AGE. London. Oct. 31. Elizabeth Hanbury, who was born June 9, 1793. is dead.

Reserving the privilege to discontinue without pre vious notice, the treasury department today announced that for the present it will accept offerings of United States bonds if presented at the treasury de partment at Washington or at the sub treasury at New York at prices to yield the government the stated inter est. Secretary Gage says: "The terms under which the offer is made are prac tically the same as those governing the last call. My reason for making the offer at this time is that I find from today's treasury statement that we took in over $9,900,000 more than we paid out. The circulation of the coun try could not long stand this drain without being seriously affected, and as I do not wish to increase the de posits of national bank depositaries there was only one thing left to do, and that was to buy bonds."
