Long Forward Step Taken
In Acquiring Magnificent
Building to House Muni
cipal and County Of
ficers. ENABLING ACT
ORDERED DRAWN
Council and Supervisors
Hold Enthusiastic Meet
ing to Discuss Centraliza
tion Plan.
At a meetng of the city council anil
the county hoard of supervisors held
at the council room or the city hall
late yesterday afternoon it was unan
imously ordered that the county and
city attorneys prepare a hill for pre
sentation to the legislature authoriz
ing the county of Maricopa and the
city of Phoenix to sell the sites at
present occupied by court house and
city hall, and join forces for the pur
pose of building a combination city
hall and court house, subject to a ref
erendum to the people.
"The most important progressive
step taken in this community in many
years.' was the. verdict of a member
of the city council following the meet
ins. " Every member of each of the city
and county governing bodies were
present when the mayor rapped for
order, and turned the chair over to
Chairman Mo'.ier, of the board of su
pervisors. City Attorney Prescott outlined the
'proposition to sell the two sites and
combine for the erection of a magnifi
cent building, which will meet the re
quirements of city and county for
many years to come. lie pointed to
the fact that centralization was the
watchword throughout the country and
that many places were taking the
same step.
He urged that in discussing the
matter with large property owners and
with citizens generally he had found
almost no opposition to the plan, while
on the contrary it had been accepted
with enthusiasm on every side.
The speaker pointed to the fact that
the court house is wholly inadequate
for the demands upon it and that the
city hall is utterly unfitted for the
use to which it is put: tli.it both
buildings are old and decrepit, and
that the city and county should do
their share in achieving the destiny
which is ours. "Co-operate he urged,
"with the board of trade and with the
business men and the people of the
valley who are working rarly and late
to make this a great city, and a re
sourceful county."
Mr. Prescott estimated that the two
properties will bring $700,000. That a
desirable site may be secured for
$150,000 and p- building which will long
be a credit to he city and county and
exceed in beauty and utility any simi
lar structure in the west can be erect
ed for $350,000,- thus leaving- a large
sum which may be applied in devel
oping public parks in convenient loca
tions, at the same time giving the
the city and county the benefit of the
improvement without cost to the tax
payer. Mayor Christy spoke briefly ex
pressing his entire sympathy with the
movement which he believes for the
best interests of the city. The mayor
said that he had found but one man
who objected to the plan and that on
the ground that it would take a couple
of parks from the center of town. The
city attorney refused to dignify the
green spots a few feet square by the
names of "park" and Councilman lIc
Elroy called attention to the plan
mentioned by Prescott for the making
of some real parks with the surplus
funds.
Councilmen "Warren and Cisney re
cognize the merit of the proposition
and would put the entire question up
to the people. McElroy spoke at con
siderable length in favor of the sale.
Supervisors Mouer and Luke placed
themselves definitely pn record as fa
voring the sale and combination. Su
pervisor Lin Orme said that he rather
favored a bond issue and keeping he
places: but later Orme seconded the
motion instructing the preparation of
the enabling act
Three citizens were heard. Dr. R.
E. Lightburne endorsed the project
without reservation. "V. H. Ream did
not want to "move the city" to an
outlying precinct. He favors the ac
quiring of the Central school site for
the new building.
"V. B. Lount opposed ,the whole bus
iness. Mr. Lount has interests in the
eastern end of the city and he thinks
the people would miss the city hall
plaza like everything. Neither could
ho see what truck the city had with
the county, couldn't understand why
the city hall was not "good enough,"
said it looked to. him as though the
press had been "inspired" and wound
up by demanding to know what the
the "sweat is all about anyhow?"
Following the discussion Mayor
Christy suggested that the people be
given a chance to express themselves
uponrtho project This was amended

ONE VICTIM HAD
LIVED AT YUMA
Iniured Fireman Was
Taken to Hospital But
There Is No Hope
for His Life.
TUCSON. Ariz.. April 9. (Spe-
Engineer Charles Vauchn was
killed and Fireman B. E. Norton, of
an eastbound' freight tram, was mor-
tallv injured by the explosion of a
locomotive at Stamvix siding, near
Sentinel at four o clock this after
noon. The death of the engineer was
instantaneous. The fireman was
brought to the hospital here tonight
with not the slightest hope of recov
ery and with hardly a possibility
that he would survive the night.
The boiler of the locomotive was
scattered about the scene of the
tragedy, looking like the parts of an
exploded gigantic fire cracker. The
top of the engineer's head was blown
away and his neck was broken. His
body had been thrown fifty feet.
About the same distance away lay
the body of the fireman. As ac
curate an examination as could be
made indicated that no bones had
been broken and that ha had suf
fered no serious bruises, but three
fourths of the skin over the entire
surface of the body had been scalded.
The unconscious fireman opened
his lins but once and that was to
ask for a drink of water. Tt was
given him and as he drank he was
nnestioned regarding the explosion
but without answering he relapsed
into unconsciousness. His wire ana
sister were on the train which
brought him.
The body of the engineer was taken
to Yuma, "where he had lived about
two weeks. The home of Norton Is
at Gila Bend. It is probable that the
cause of the explosion will never he
learned.

JUST ONE QUESTION
PUZZLES DELEGATES
Whether to Send Instructed Delegation
to Chicago is Problem Confront
ing New York Politicians.
Associated Press Dispatch
ROCHESTER. April 9 New York
delegates to the national convention
will not be instructed to "vote for
the rcnomination of President Taft."
Instead the committee on resolutions
of the state convention voted almost
unanimously tonight to report a reso
lution tomorrow favoring his rcnom
ination but urging the entire state
delegation to carry out the party's
choice. .
ROCHESTER. N. Y., April 9. The
republican state convention held its
first session today after the "keynote
speech" by temporary Chairman Nich
oiis Murray Butler and adjourned un
til tomorrow to permit committees to
draft a platform, select four delegates
at large for the national convention,
and try to determine whether it wHI
be for the best interest of President
Taft to send an instructed delegation
to Chicago.
The resolutions committee with
Congressman Vreeland as chairman,
worked well into the night formulating
a platform,- which Chairman Barnes
desires to present as a model for
adoption by the national convention.
A thousand odd delegates were dis
cussing tonight whether It will be ex
pedient to instruct the delegation for
Taft: but it is generally believed a
satisfactory solution will be reached
before the convention meets tomorrow.
Barnes, and other leaders; who oppose
instructions, said they wouldn't recede
from their position and that they had
a majority of votes to support their
position.
' Senator Root and Chairman Koenig,
of New York county, are strong in the
opinion the delegates should be in
structed. Until the platform is com
pleted it was decided to suspend fur
ther consideration of the 'selection of
delegates and their instructions.
With the completion of the platform
and the naming of delegates it was
planned to hold a four hour session to
morrow. Butler will be made perma
nent chairman.

REPORT GOES
TO THE HOUSE
Majority Declares Depart
ment Officials Were
Actuated by Im
proper Motives.
Associated Press Dispatch
WASHINGTON, April 9. President
Taft and Secretary Stimson are ar
raigned severely in a sensational re
port made today to the house by the
military affairs committee. Secre
tary Stimson is charged with hav
ing committed a "great and irrepar
able wrong" and a "flagrant misuse
of official authority" when, in Feb
ruary, ho suspended Gen. Ainsworth
from his duties as adjutant general
of the army and charged him with
insubordination. That the president
and secretary prejudiced the case:
that accusations against the general
are based upon prejudice, and that
the secretary of war has an "erron
eous Idea" of his relations with con
gress, are some other conclusions
reached by the majority of the com
mittee of which Representative Hay
of Virginia is chairman.
Following AInsworth's relief from
duty when a courtmartial seemed
probable, the president permitted him
to retire from the army because of
long .service. The report of tlte in
vestigation followed Ainsworth's re
lief from duty.
Criticising the relief of Ainsworth
the report declares:
"The worst feature of it was this
officer, who was long distinguished,
had no tribunal to which he could
appeal with" any hope of justice or
fair treatment."
The majority of the committee con
cluded the general was guilty of no
act which justified his suspension,
"that the charges had their origin in
a determination to drive Ainsworth
from active service, and have nothing
to support them but bare assertion,
coupled with misrepresentation and
suppression of the truth."
The report then goes on to say it
is incredible that Stimson believed
Ainsworth guilty of the charges and
adds:
'Some other reason must have
actuated the secretary of war and
that reason is hard to find. Your
committee, being familiar with the
phases of the legislative features of
the army appropriation bill, can read
ily account for this violent assault
on General Ainsworth."
It is pointed out that Ainsworth
favored the five year enlistment plan
in Hhe army bill, which -was opposed
by other officers of the general's
staff and that Stimson's letter of
suspension to the general was sent
on the day this feature of the bill
was being dscussed in the house.
Stimson's comment to the house
when he sent the papers in the case
to the effect his action "was not to
be construed as a recognition of the
authority of the house or any of its
committees to require of the chief
executive a .statement of his reasons
for his official action," is criticised
severely.
Ainsworth's stand on a certain
letter to the secretary of war. upon
which much of the charges Is based,
Is defended.

CHICAGO, III., April 9. Winners in
the Illinois preferential, advisory and
direct primary elections today, as in
dicated by sufficient returns to war
rant a prediction are as follows:
For president,- Theodore Roosevelt,
republican: Champ Clark, democrat.
United States senator. L. Y. Sher
man, republican; J. Hamilton Lewis,
democratic (unconotested.)
Gbvernor, Charles S. Deneen, repub
lican: F. Dunne, democnat.
Roosevetls managers claimed a ma
jority over Taft from a hundred to a
hundred and fifty thousand. Returns
indicate the vote is nearly five to
two.
Presidential delegates not named on
the ballots and will be elected at con
gressional districts at large.
Sherman's lead over Cullom in the
advisory vote for senator Is small,
and complete returns may throw it to
Cullom.
Deneen's chief fight was against Len
Small, referred to in the campaign as
Lorimer's candidate. Advices six hours
after the polls closed indicated De
neen had won by about five to three.
Wayman led Small in Cook county,
where Deneen's estimated majority is
2S.000. The democratic contest for
governor offered more opportunity for
conjecture. At midnight Dunne had
an Indicated majority of 01,000 in
Cook county, but Alschuler his nearest
competitor, appeared to be running so
well In the state that conservative es
timates place Dunne's majority from
ten to twenty thousand in the state.
Congressional returns here delayed
and authoritative estimates were im
possible. Cook county voters appeared
to favor B. M. Chiperfieid, and W. E.
Mason, republican nomination for
congressmen at large and Lawrence
Stringer and either J. P. Brennan, or
W. E. Williams for the democratic
nomination
Chicago voted two to one against
suffrage. The question was not on
the ballots outside the city. Roose
velt's victory was not a respector of
territory. He carried the home ward
of Congressman McKinley, Taft's man
ager in the campaign; was successful
in the Seventeenth district, where
Smith,- the state manager, lives. Can
non's home, Danville, polled 1.S44 for
him to Taft's 1,227. LaFolIette polled
a small Vote. Cook county, where he
appeared strongest had about 14,440,
where Roosevelt's apparent vote was
SC144 and that of Taft 52,004. He ran
much stronger down the state.
Champ Clark's candidacy met just
the opposite result. In Chicago his
apparent majority, based on more than
three-quarters of the total number of
precincts, was above ninety thousand,
or about four to one for Wilson.
In the state precincts his lead is
in the proportion of eight to five,
bringing his general proportion about
two to one.
CHICAGO, April 9. Two-thirds of
Cook county gives Roosevelt 52,249;
Taft, 32.45S; Clark, 77.6S6; Wilson.
CHICAGO, April 9-Returns from

pleted, indicate that Roosevelt and
Clark are victors. In Congressman
McKInley's distrjet Roosevelt won by

Tho sDecial committee appointed
by the house to investigate the ru

business by appealing any action to

port and so were considered together
as to that phase of their merits.
Senate bill 73 is the bill prohibiting
