Police Say Tivo Murder Cases Are A I most Identical (Special to The Republican.) EOS ANGEL.ES. Cat., July 13. More than two weeks have passed since Charles E. I'endell. a wealthy money lender, was found murdered in ins on ice in tnis city, and tne case remains as much of a mystery as it was on the day the mutilated body was discovered. c f one thing, how ever, the police are thoroughly con vinced. They believe that when the person or persons who killed Pendell are found, then the longsought mur derers of Joseph Logue in Chicago will be found. Seldom have two crimes committed at points so far apart offered such a case of similarity in every important detail. That the two murders were committed by the same hand appears certain to those who have studied the two cases. The murder of Joseph H. Logue oc curred in Chicago on December 20 last. Logue was a money lender as was Pendell, the Eos Angeles victim. Moth also dealt in diamonds and jew elry. Roth murders were committed in the offices of the victims. Roth, were committed in the middle of the day, Logue being killed at about the hour of noon and I'endell at about -o'clock in the afternoon. In each case the last person seen to enter the of fice was a well dressed woman. Rob bery is supposed to have furnished the motive in each case, though strangely enough the nature and amount of the booty have never been determined definitely either in the Locue or the Pendell case. Roth vic tims were known to be in the habit of carrying considerable sums of money and large amounts oi jeweirj . The brutality of the murderer was evidenced in each case, both of victims being shot, slashed beaten. The detectives are positive that two murders were committed by the and the the same skilled professional criminals a man and a woman. Rut in neither case did there appear the slightest clue that might lead to the identity of the pair. The murderer or mur derers committed their crimes so skillfully and so quietly that persons in adjoining offices heard no sound.

GUARDSMEN STATE MAKING Xow r racticallv Certain Twelve That Eleven of th . ompanies 1 omp r 1 s 1 n g Ivirst Regiment in Attendance Will COMPAXY (J .MAY STILE TURN OU Special Troop Train Will Leave Here on Thursday. Advance Detail Goes To day to .Make Camp Ready for Coming of Regiment These are busy days with the Na tional Guardsmen of the entire state in anticipation of attendance at l he state encampment at Prescott for the ten days beginning next Thursday. Wherever there is a company in Ari- j zona may be found just now dozens oi members of the organizations mak- ing preparations to leave at the de signated time and looking forward to the service reouired. For sco.-s of the young men making up the guard of the state the encampment will be the only vacation thev wiil have an it will be the very kind the most of them would choose, for it means not onlv getting near to nature but it means too. a training they would be unable to obtain in anv ther way. It is now pretty definitely deter mined that there will be at least eleven of the twelve companies com prising the First Regiment in camp- It is just possible, too. that Company G of Douglas, may yet be numoereit with the others, thereby bringing out all the companies in the state. While it is a little early yet to know de finitely, it is estimated that there is likely to be about f.on soards-n -n in camp this year. Locally Companies A anil I! are leaving no stone unturned to insure! record breaking attendance' and in dividual and company efficiency. For j some time both companies have be n ( holding twice the regular number of drills and there has been squad and platoon work as well which is bound to be beneficial when the boys are under tiie eye of the ol nel ol the regiment and the instructor-inspector. For more than two weeks. First Lieut. R. D. EaGarde. I. S. A., de tailed to Arizona as inspector-instructor, has been at Prescott, looking after every necessary detail to the end that when the troops finally ar rive it will be found that everything is in readiness and that the w:np is just as it should be. This morning a detail .f twelve men tinder Captain A. C. Taylor, of the commissary, will leave fc.r Pres cott with camp stores, and th: regi mental equipment. To Captain ray lor will be left the work of staking the camp and making everything ready for the coming of the r-evera! enmnnnies. When his work is com pleted, it will require only the arrival of the men themselves wih their tents to soon make a tented city rise. It is estimated that less than an hour after the Imys are on the grounds and the pack trains have arrived that every tent will have been pitched, the company ranges placed, the bed rolls opened and the camp in full swing. Colonel A. M. Tuthill commanding the regiment will accompany the southern troops to Phoenix where they will be combined with those from Yuma, Tempe and Mesa, joining Com panies A and P. from Phoenix and leaving for Prescott over the Santa Fe at nine o'clock. It is expected that Prescott will be reached before three o'clock. Company A members are expected to meet this evening at the armory to make up their blanket . rolls and make everything ready for the de parture on Thursday morning. There will be only two more drills of this company, that of this evening and again on Wednesday evening. For weeks past especial attention has been given to the men enlisted more re cently and they have already rounded into form which places them en a level with the old timers. On Tuesday evening Company B will hold drill and will also prepare its blanket rolls and place all its camp equipment in readiness for shipment. On Wednesday the company wagons for both A and B will pick up the baggage of the individual members and take all to the depot in readiness to be placed aboard the special train. The various company officers, com missioned and non-commissioned are still working to make certain that those who have promised to attend camp will not be among the missing. Employers have been visited and the value of the instruction as well as. the outing has been very clearly pointed out bo that whatever objection they may have to their going may, if pos sible, be removed. Both of the com panies of this city promise the largest attendance in their history. The other companies likely to be present are Company C of Tempe, Company D of Mesa. Company E of Prescott. Company F of Snovvflake, Company II of Yuma. Company I of Flagstaff, Company K of Tucson, Company L. of Yuma and Company M of-Morenei. As stated before, it has been rumored that Company G of Douglas will not be in attendance, but this has not been verified. READY FOR GAMP A SENSATION ON THE BOULEVARD.

VVTTT Ml (Ml A 1 DURE BORIS RAS LIBEL CHARGE PENDING Russian Xoblcman tti-f nt" Sinir (Jives Vgainst Publisher of Amerh Magazine With Wide (. an ir- culation in England Tassociated press dispatch LONDON. July 13. The Russian Grand Duke Boris proposes to fallow the example of King George and Colonel Roosevelt by bringing his de tractors into court. Attorneys for the grand duke have given notice of a libel suit against an American maga zine which has a wide circulation in England. The article which the magazine' pub lished described the grand duke's career in Manchuria during the Rus so-Japanese war as a lurid episode. ' and said that General Knropatkin sent him back to Russia. The case is to be tried in London, if it comes to trial, and lawyers are trying to gather evidence here now. The grand duke himself and Gen eral Knropatkin seem to be the ones most competent to testify whether General Knropatkin se-nt Boris away from the army. If the famous mem ber of the Romanoff family and the commander-in-chief of the Russian armies in Manchuria take the witness stand they will provide an interesting episode for the British metropolis. A Chinese invasion of Tibet by a large array is in progress, according to private advices reaching London, the main purpose of which is to sell to the simple-minded Tibetans a coun terfeit Indian rupee for 32 cents that costs only 1G cents to manufacture. Troops laden vith these false eoins have been sent across the border by the governor of Szechuan. but the Peeking government has nothing to do with the expedition, and apparently does n .t know about it. The Szechuan mandarins evidently are not interesteel in conquest. The Indian rupee has long been recognized as money by the Tibetans. Its face value is about 32 cents, while its sil ver value is IS rents. An inspiration seized the governor of Szechuan that rupees might be made the Cheng-tu mint for 16 cents and worked off on the innocent people of Tibet at their nominal value. Hence the Szechtian troops are conveying great loads of Cheng-tu made rupees with them. The governor mixes patriotism with thrift. While the coins are made to resemble genuine Indian rupees in size and general appearance, the pre sentment of a Chinaman under a man darin hat is substituted for the head of King George. Just who the China man is has not yet been learned. o WEATHER TODAY WASHINGTON, D. C, July 13. For Arizona Fair on Monday with thun der showers and cooler at night. NOW By John T. McCutcheon.

ROOSEVELT HAS WORD TO SAY ABOOT REFORM Says Progressive Organiza tions Offer Pest instru ment for Obtaining in Municipal Matters Sot and Industrial -Justice ial (Special to the Republican.) NEW YORK, July 13. In issuing to day its latest service bulletin contain ing an address by William L. Ransom, chairman of the committee on judicial y leform of the department of popular government the progressive national committee presents a foreword by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, dealing with the problems of municipal admin istration and policy. This foreword is of especial interest at this time in view of the country-wide movement looking to reform in city administrations. ("olonel Roosevelt says: L'nlike both the old parties, the pro gressive party has a platform which in very important respects applies in local precisely as in state and national af fairs. This may mean that in certain cities the local progressive organiza tion offers by far the best instrument for obtaining in municipal matters so cial and industrial justice through clear and efficient governmental action. But in many of our cities, including all our biggest cities, the conditions are so utterly different that our first effort must be to keep the local and national issues distinct. In these larger cities, the problems of administration and policy are some times more formidable and difficult than those confronting many states: but the conditions of economic injus tice, the opportunities for constructive governmental activity, and the conse ejuences of retrogressive administration all come a little more closely home to the citizen, than similar phases of state and national government sometimes do. It is not so much that the problems, the conditions, or the needs, are so much different, in municipal as com pared with state and national adminis tration, but that they are more obvi ous and undeniable. Thus it comes about that in these cities there are many good citizens who thus far mis takenly, as we believe oppose us on national and state-wide application of our fundamental principles and purpos es, but are willing to join with us in giving local application to essentially the same humanitarian conceptions of government. They disagree with us. for instance, on the tariff, or on the power of the national government to deal with child labor and problems of the minimum wage, but agree with us that the powers of the municipal gov ernment should be actively employed to secure not merely honesty, economj and efficiency in administration, sta- (Continued on Page Nine) HALL DREW SKELETON FROM SOLON'S CLOSE!

The trail of this invisible gov ernment in anil out of the halls of congress and elsewhere' about tht national capital and throughout the cotiinv- seems at last to have been uncovered partly at least, through the astounding confession of "Col onel" Mulhall who was for years one ot its active agents in Washington and elsewhere.

Two progressives come in for com ment similar to that about Speaker Clark, former Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, and former Congressman Pearre, of Maryland.
