Arizona Fears That New
Mexico Will Get the Long
Terms Ahead of Her.
ELECTION COUNT
IS VERY SLOW
Phomix. Ariz.. Jan. XS. One of the
questions being discussed by the Ari
zona politicians the past few days is
the time when the election of the
United States senators will occur. The
Arlzonans want to get there ahead, of
.ew -Mexico it pesaioie.
The long term will be a prise well
worth workine for. It Is announced
from New Mexico that the membeni
f the legislature there will name their
uniton Mart-fa 11 If such is the case
the New Mexicans will be in Washing-

However, the possibility of a dead
lock In New Mexico looms large. The
people did not express their choice as
is the case in Arizona, where the elec
tion of the United States senators will
be a mere formality. Should there be a
tight in New Mexico, the Arlzonans
might beat them to the wire.

CHECKBOOK SHOWN
Attempts to Withhold Dy
namiter's Checks Blocked
i by Federal Judge.
Indianapolis, Ind.. Jan. 26. Attempts
to withhold J. J. KcKamara's check
books from the government's Investi
gation of the dynamite conspiracy were
blocked by federal judge Anderson to
day in an order directing Leo ML
Rappaport, an attorney, to appear at
once before the federal grand jury and
turn over the evidence required.
As counsel for McNamara. Rappaport
claimed that whatever checkbooks,
stubs, cancelled checks McNamara had
given him. were privileged communica
tions and could not be demanded as
evidence. Rappaport had been ordered
to appear before vthe grand jury, but
he resisted, by a motion to quash the
subpena.
Dlstrlct attorney Charles W. Miller
argued that the grand jury wanted the
checkbooks toi And out what Mc
Namara did With the ?10,G0fl he was'
allowed. ,
"That money -was mid him as an
official of the union," said Mr. Miller.
"It was -expended to transport dyna
mite and nitroglycerine about the
country and to pay the expenses of
men who blew up -laces."
Judge Anderson ruled that the
checkbooks were as material as a re
volver or a knife with which a murder
had been committed and imist be pro
duced. .

resolution for a special inquiry into
the "Money Trust" with Samuel Un-

but he was satisfied congress could not 1
legislate intelligently with respect to I
trusts or to a monetary system until i
the question of concentration of the '
"money power" was thoroughly under- ,
stood. 1
For that reason, he said, he favored i
the proposition to "investigate, pro

painstaking, nonpartisan spirit with ,
the sole object of exposing the weak- j
neases and abuses of the system as the

"That amendment presumably em

the Republican party to whom the pub

He added that if the progressive ele

opportunity" for accomplishing tariff
revision, they would find a "united

This Is Not Taft's Declara

JUDGE PARKER
HITS THE RECALL
Columbia, a C, Jan. 26. ."Recall of
the judges spells In the ultimate, re
sult, the recall of the judicial system
and the substitution of a vigilance com
mittee,' declared Alton B. Parker, oae
time Democratic nominee for the
presidency. In a speech last night.
The Democratic candidate for presi
dent in 104. was addressing the South
Carolina Bar association, and he not only
expressed himself as opposed to the re
call of the judiciary, but took excep
tion to some of the criticisms of the
"Vr06 In the P8t y Mr. Roose
velt He said in part:
"If put into practice and carried to
its inevitable 'conclusion, recall of
judges is the substitution of popular
opinion for legal procedure It Is jus
tice or injustice meted out not
according to the law of the land, but
accof'd,tnE to supposed puMIc senti

In the administration of justice by
caprice rather than by the rules of
law.
.v.!T!j? recaH of judges, however Is but
the first step towards the cherished
goal of the leaders nf th. nwvnn.An.
against the Judiciary. Their ultimate
aim- is the recall of the power of the
courts to declare void such legislative
acts as are foridden by the constitu
tion, state a&d federal.
... Say Roosevelt Started It.
What has happened of late to lead
so many to favor stripping the mem
bers of the judiciary of their Independ
ence and shearing them of the power
to enforce the constitution? Surely the
judicial standard has not been lowered
of Jfte- Tbe caMso of the change in
public sentiment then is not to be
found in the lowering of tbe judicial

COMPLAINT AGAINST
A STATE GOVERNOR
Mexico City, Mex, Jan. 26. Abraham
Martinez, former chief of staff and sec
retary to Emilleno Zapata, had an in
terview with president Madero at the
national palace last night and as a re
sult the well defined rumor became
current that he was to ileave for the
state of Morelos and confer with Za
pata with reference to surrender.
Martinez is the man who accompa
nied Zapata on the occasion of his
vitlts to this city for conferences with
Mr. Madero. when the then chief of the
revolution was endeavoring to bring;
about a peaceful settlement of affairs
in Morelos.
Martinez, acting, as he claimed, un
der the orders of Emlllo Vazquez Go
mez, then minister of gobernaclon. ar
rested a son of Gen. Mudo Martinez,
ex-governor of Puebla, in the city of
Puebla. Due to the fact that the ar
rested man was a member of the na
tional congress, and therefore, under
the law, exempt from arrest, Martinez
was taken Into custody and sentenced to
imprisonment ln Puebla. He was re
leased only a few days ago, when ha
had completed his term, and came to
Mexico City.
Federal Victories.
The department of gobernaclon has
been informed that the federals have
gained a number of small victories
near Calpulalpam and Tlaxeala and
have killed and wounded many of tie
bandits. The jefe politico of the place
has been ordered to give a full account
of the operations.
A band of Zapatlsts attacked the vil
lage of Tlaltlhzapam. In the state of
Morelos, but were repulsed by the
guard. The 28th squadron vt rurales
attacked a band of Zapatista of Pu
ebla Nuevo 'Monday, and dispersed the
hand.
Miranda's Complalni.
Joaquin Miranda, a leader in the
past revolution and father of. Col. Al
fonso Miranda, has arrived In Mexico
City from Chietfa. Morelos, and will lay
before president Madero complaints
against the outrages which he says the
soldiers of Ambroslo Figueroa. former
jsovernor of Morelos, are committing In
that state. Mr. Miranda declares that
Flgaeroa's rurales are robbing town's
and committing all sorts of outrages
ans. that the people are In greater ter
