day This afternoon, following hours
of mist and drizzle, lowering clouds

Men who have been for fifty years in

of scones such as wore witnessed there

12. p. m. ho received 2500 visitors.

Special to Silver Belt.
PHOENIX, March 3. "You're ,a
liar; you're a damned liar; got out!"
Thus exclaimed President George W.
P. Hunt this afternoon in the council
chamber in the prqsenco of tho gallery,
immediately following adjournment.
Tho words wero nddresscd to R. M.
Dawson, tho Silver' Belt correspondent,
who called Mr. Hunt on tho platform

threo weeks ago, concerning the confer
ence of eight councilmen with tho rail

confcrenco was hold in Ben Goodrich's
oflico in tho Fleming block in the rooms
of E. B. Gago, nor has the Btory or the
personnel of the conference beon denied
in any particular, except tho placo of
meeting.
.On the word of two councijmen tho
correspondent, in good faith, said that
tho place. of tho meeting was at Cox's
office; also that Norton had stated in
tho prcsonco of several persons tnat ho
hnd roceived a note to come to Cox's
office to attend tho session, and had re
fused No member has asked a correction

GITY BUILDS SALOON IN
MIDOLEOFJHE STREET
MILWAUKEE, Wis., March 3.--For
tho first timo a city has undertaken
tho building of a saloon. That city is
Milwaukee, and tho building of a mu
nicipal saloon as a refreshment empor
ium has been located in tho center
of a street.
When it was decided to build a now
bridgo on E. Water street, it became
nocessary to take .from an old saloon
keoper tho land where bo had been lo
cated for years.
How to recomponso tho old man was
a puz7le, but it was finally agreed that
if the city would build him a new .sa
loon in the middle of the street, to
bo located there for ono year without
interruption ho would release tho city
from all damages.
Incidentally he is making so much
profit from this oddest saloon in Amer
ica that he can retire when the year
comes to an end.
GUIDE SAYS ROOSEVELT
WILL NOT RETURN ALIVE
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, March 3.
"If President RposeVclt persists in go
ing to Africa, bo probably will not re
turn, alive."
This statement; was made today by
Jake Borah, the guide who piloted
President Roosevelt on his Colorado
hunting trip and who was invited to go
to Africa with him.
Borah says President Roosevelt hns
malaria in his system and will not bo
twenty-four hours in Africa before be
ing stricken with fever. Borah mado
known today the fact that the prcsir
dent was ill of malaria for four days
while in Colorado.
ES
NE
havo Hunt, who, a fow. days ago, -wanted
nn interview printed denying fho
conference.
Tho best information now obtainable
is that the session was hold in Good
rich's office, but' Day states tonight that
a provious meeting at which he was
present was held in Cox's oilice, but
does not think Hunt attended.
The conference was held, and why
such a trivial matter should cause tho
president of tho council to explodo,
bowl tho correspondent ovor in his
chair and call the sergeant at arms to
cxpurgato him from tI?o scenery, is as
tonishing. Your correspondent mado duo ex
planations Sunday at tho Ford hotel
when tho matter was called to his at
tention, and has no porsonnl feeling
ngainst Hunt. He supposed the inci
dent was closed.
Hunt called a caucus of tho council
for inquisition over the article. It
looks like an effort to intimidate the
press. General criticism of newspapers
is probably the real cause.
It is hard to beliovo that so small a
detail that stood unchallenged eo long
should lead a brainy ntan like Hunt to
start an Ananias club.
It is understood that he will try to
bar your 'correspondent fromvtho coun-!
cil floor. ' ;
WSPAPER
PENAL DODE BILL
BECOMES; LAW
YESTERDAY
COMPREHENSIVE REVISION OF
PENAL LAWS OF PREVIOUS
ENACTMENT.
NO CHANGE IN ELECTION LAWS
NEW LAWS DO NOT GO. INTO EF
fect until first of
next'ysar.
WASHINGTON, March 3. Tho now
penal codo was enactod into law today
through tho adoption in both housos of
congress of tho conference report on
tho bill draftod "by tho joint commit
teo originally appointed, in 1897 and ro
appoiuted at tho close of tho Tifty
niuth congress.
The bill is a comprehensive and
cohorent revision and compilation of
practically all the purely penal latwS.
In a section relating to tho uso of
troops at places where gonoral or spe
cial olpctions are held, provisions relat
ing to tho keeping of peace at tho polls
was struck out, becauso i.t was recog'
nized that federal troops aro not now
used for that purpose. Tho conference
also dropped all reference to tho statuto
of 1S07 which forbids discrimination
owing to race of color in tho selection
of grand or potlt jurors, but left tho
law as it nvns originally.
Tho commission found it difficult to
make uniform laws that would operate
in all states, among these being pro
hibitory liquor laws. It was found that
this class of cases can only bo covered
by a general statute. One was includ
ed known as the Knox amendment,
making an act penalized by tho law
of a Mate, an offense against tho fed
eral government when committed "with
in or upon any placo subject to tho ex
clusive jurisdiction of tho 'fcdoral gov
ernment. Tho revision define? more clearly tho
jurisdiction of tho federal court over
cases coming under the admiralty and
maritime law, it enlarges tho statuto
so as to reach modern developments as
to new methods oficommitting crime
and the oxtonsion ofAmorican terri
tory; it prohibits not only "obscene"
literature, but "filthy" litcraturo from
the mails; it eliminates some so-called
"kuklux laws."
Practically tho only new legislation
is that to punish "leaks" of govern
ment statistical information nnd the
regulation of interstate shipments of in
toxicants. In order that nny serious error might
be corrected, tho bill does not becomo
effectivo until January 1, 1910, enabling
congress, when it meets next Decem
ber, to correct any sorious mistake or
omission.
SUGAR TRUST SHORT WEIUHER.
NEW YORK, March 3. All evidence

its of cortain types of scales. HosCon

when tho alleged frauds wero commit
