WRITES A LETTER
TO MAYOR CHRISTY
This Letter Has Been For
warded to Engineer Bark
er Who is Now Compiling
a Report on Conditions in
Phoenix.
As the situation now stands it Is
impossible for the city of Phoenix to
purchase from the government electric
power for lighting purioses even for
street lighting to say nothing for re
tailing it to other consumers for light
ing or any other .puriwse. It can se
cure power for operating its pumping
ltktnt, which is the only other pur
pose now conceived for which tho
city is likely soon to need power. That
is llie substance of correspondence be
tween Mayor Lloyd B. Cliristy and L
C. Hill, suiervising engineer of the rec
lamation service, which was brought
about in the following manner.
Some time ago the question of th--
city's renewing its contract with the
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. for the
lighting of the city, came before the
council. Desiring to make no mistake
in the matter the council employed En
gineer Barker of Los Angeles, an ex
IK?rt electrician, to come here and in
vestigate all conditions and roport to
the council whether, in his opinion, the
city should make a new contract with
the company; install a plant of its
own; or buy power from the govern
ment. He was also asked to make any
other recommendation that in his opin
ion would be valuable to the councli
Mr. Barker came here and investigated
the situation, returning to Los Ange
"les to write his report.
Before doing so he wrote Mayor
Christy asking on what terms the city
could get power for street lighting, as
it had been understood that it could
not secure power for retailing to oth
ers. Mr. Hill was away at the time
and when he returned rM. Christy was
away, but on October 9, when they
were both here. Mr. Christy addressed
a letter to Mr. Hill, covering the sub
ject. The next day Mr. Hill responded
with the following letter, a copy of
which has been forwarded to Engineer
Barker:
Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct. 10. 1911.
Hon. Lloyd B. Christy,
Mayor of Phoenix:
Dear Sir:
In reply to your communication of
October 9, I beg to state that the rec
lamation service is not at the present
time In iposltion to furnish power to
the city of Phoenix for lighting pur
poses, on account of the agreement
made with the Pacific Gas and Elec
tric Co. when 'the United States pur
cliasGd this company's exclusive pow
er rights in the Arizona canal. The
reclamation service however, is still
prepared to supply the city with power
to operate its pumping plants on tho
same torms which it was prepared to
offer for furnishing such power several
years ago.

Supervising Engineer.

STRIKERS ATTACK
NATIONAL GUARD
Several Shots Were Fired But it
Believed No One Received
Any Injuries
SACRAMENTO. Oct. 12. Southern
Pacific officals were again on the
ground at quitting time at the shops
tonight and mingled freely with the
strikers. The photographer for the
company was present but took no
pictures. Police orders were issued
today to keep sidewalks near the
terminal of the street car railroads
clear. Hereafter no strikers or rail
road officals will bo allowed to take
up stations within 100 feet of the
terminnl. The company says the
shops are running smoothly. Strikers
say the company is experiencing a
shortage of cars.
TROUBLE AT McCOMB
NATCHEZ, Miss., Oct. 12. A long
distance telephone message from Mc
Comb City says troops there were
fired upon at 11 o'clock tonight.
They returned the fire. So far as
known no one was Injured. Only a
few shots were exchanged.
MOB ATTACKS GUARD
McCOMB CITY. Oct. 12. Several
persons, supposed to be strikers and
sympathizers attempted to scale the
barricade erected around the Illinois
Central shops here shortly before
midnight tonight and were fired upon
by outposts of the Mississippi nntinnnl
guard stationed here. Several shots
were fired but it is thought no one
was Injured.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 12. That
money was distributed liberally by
Senator Isaac Stephenson, and that
sums as high as ?1S00 were given out

niony of George H. Gordon, one of
Stephenson's managers. Gordon said
In- was given $l.S0O, of the $107,793
expended by the senator, and he gave
this to others with no accounting
and kept none for himself. Asked
how much he thought it required to
rganizr each of the 2,200 prtcincts
in Wisconsin, Gordon said 5100 each.
This would be $2'0,fon, or more than

TAFT TALKED
ALL TE
Ever Flowing Stream of
Presidential Conversation
Reached From One End
of State of Oregon to the
Other.
ASHLAND. Ore., Oct. 12. His
voice strons though a bit shakv.
through constant use. President Taft
addressed crowds all the way down
the Wilamette valley and across the
state of Oregon today. Hour after
hour as the train traveled through a
land tliat blossomed with flowers and
fruit, folk who came to small towns
where the train stopjed brought tri
butes of all sorts to the chief ex
ecutive. With the California line
only a few miles away the nresi-
dential special jassed tonight
through Ashland. The interior of the
president's car resembled a florist's
shop, and the steward hnd accumu
lated enough fruit to garnjsh the
president's table for many days tp,
come. A few miles out of Salem
the first stop of the day was made
at Mount Hood. For two hours the
snow capped peak, miles away, seem-
ngly only twenty feet alKve its
neighbors, remained in view The
president spoke on many subjects.
He declared several times that the
old battleship Oregon should be the
first warship to pass through the
Pannma canal.
Mr. Taft spoke on pence, arbitra
tion and half a dozen other topics,
The apparent prosperity of the coun
try through which he passed led the
president to make a new plea for
arbitration. "God has given us all
this prosperity," he said, " and all
these conditions of life to make us
comfortable. He would not have
done this unless he wanted us to use
them for the benefit of munkiud. We
would Imj lacking in appreciation and
in our duty unless we take our place
in advance of the column and say to
poor, oppressed people, especially to
those of the countries of Europe wno
are overburdened with armaments,
'We will lead you on; we will take
every step possible to abolish that
awful curse of war."'

NEW YORK MAN JOLTS
Says the Amendments Adopted
Voters Tuesday Are "Impossible
Cures for Imaginary Evils "
by
SAX FRAXCISCO. Oct. 12. Op
posing viewpoints as to the federal
leasing of coal lands in Alaska occu
pied the attention todny of delegates
to tho American institute of mining
engineers. F. Foster Bain, editor of
the Mining and Scientific Press was
the first speaker and declared not
only for lensing but suggested that
the government begin operating the
mine itself. Monopoly will be con
trolled, lie said, when government be
came a part of the monopoly. Eos
siter W. Raymond of Xcw York, re
plied to Bain's address, standing so
lidly for private exploitation of na
tional resources.
"I believe in as little government
as possible." he said, referring to the
amendments to the constitution of
California passed upon in Tuesdays
special election. He styled them
"Impossible cures for imaginary evils."
Ravmond said the people have for
gotten that the giving away of na
tional resources was what had de
veloped the west and made possible
its building up Among the speakers
today was Reiji Kanda of Tokio, a
mining engineer, who expects to es
cort several delegates back to Japan
next week.

PRESIDENT NOMINATED
SAX FRAXCISCO. Oct. 12. May
brav McMahan was nominated today
for "president of the California state
realty federation, gathered here in an
nual convention. Los Angeles was
selected as the next meeting place in
1912.
EI

up for Reception of Jur
ors But the Only Effect
Was to Cause a Lot of
Trouble.
VENIREMEN WANT
MORE FRESH AIR
With a Prospect of Six
Months' Captivity They
Want Good Meals and
Comfortable Sleeping!
Quarters.
LOS AXGELES. Calif., Oct. 12
Outdoor sleeping, which is a fairly
common habit in southern California.
today took the form of a nienaee in
the McXamara trial. Eleven tales
men, lucked up last night in newly
varnished rooms in tho Hall of Rec
ords, reported that sleep was im-
IHissible for those addicted to the
outdoor habit, and one of them, Zim
ri T. Hiatt, required medical atten
tion during the night.
The men face a long confinement in
the trial of James ,15. McXamara on
a cnarge oi murder m connection
with the destruction of the Los An
geles Times plant, October 1, 1 1 10.
Sheriff William llammel immediately
took steps to alter the arrange
ments made for the final jury and
tonight the talesmen slept in a roomy
vacant court room with many win
dows. The room first designated for
sleeping quarters had leen set aside
as an exercise room, and the win
dows of both aiwrtments are Lept
open. Even this arrangement is not
considered satisfactory nor is the
present scheme for eating in restau
rants. Further efforts are ltelng made to
improve conditions. It is feared that
six months a la carte eating will
prove disasterous to some prosiect
ive jurors, who are used to homo
cooking. Sheriff Hammel Is looking
for a house where the jurors may
hnve all the comforts of home. Some
such arrangements will be necessary
for the present talesmen who, al
though not yet even jwssed tem
porarily, may have to be locked up
over a week before being questioned.
Today is a holiday in California in
honor of the discovery of America,
October 12. 1192. Xo court was held.
Attorneys for both sides took advant
age of the lull to preiwire for sharp
legal skirmishes which are expected
to come with the resumption of the
examination of talesmen tomorrow.
Judge Bordwell, whs Is trying the
case, visited his chambers and dis
posed of much routine matters so as
to have a clear field when the case
is called again. All preimrations of
the defense centered on the intention
to reach into the minds of the tales
men and ascertain whether their real
feelings favor organized labor. Bord
well has already ruled favorably on
certain questions along this line but
the extent to which the interrogation
may be carried and the methods by
which it shall be done, remain to 1m
determined. Z. T. Xelson. the tales
man who was being examined when
court adiourned yesterday, will be
called again tomorrow. Questions
thus far by the defense will be fol
lowed by others to determine whether
veniremen are without bias, or ma
be challenged for cause. Indications
are that the precious twenty perempt
ory challenges will be carefully
hoarded.
GRAND JURY WILL REPORT
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 12
After serving ten days less than a
year, the grand jury which indicted
the McXamara brothers and six oth
ers for alleged complicity In the Times
dynamiting case, will make its final
report tomorrow and will be dis
charged, according to an official an
nouncement today. Officials here are
unable to find record where any
grand jury In Los Angeles county
has served so long. The jury was
Impanelled by Judge Bordwell Octo
ber 22, 1910. Three days later it
concentrated its efforts on the Times
case to the exclusion of everything
else. The first fruit of its labors
were indictments against "James B.
Bryce," "Milton A. Schmidt." and
David Caplnn." March 14. The
same jury found that the victims of
the Times disaster met their death In
a wreck and fire caused by a dyna
mite explosion. April 15 it returned
indictments against the two McXa
mara's and Ortio McManigal, the
latter of whom later signed a writ
ten confession implicating the two
brothers. One minor indictment not
connected with the McXamara case
will be returned tomorrow.

Adverse Majority is Wiped
Out by Late Returns and
Equal Suffrage Goes
Through in the Golden
State.
SAX FBAXCISCO, Oct. 12. v' -man's
sutfmge has triumphed n
California Straggling returns late
today wiped out the majority pre
viously recorded again.M. tho amend
ment, and since this turn in the tide,
the margin favoring the amendment
has increased steadily. The totals to
night showed the following: For,
119.0SC; against. 117.40S: majority.
1.67S. These figures, from 2717 pre
cincts, show a total majority for the
state of 3,121. As the remainder to
hear from are practically all in the
counties which showed a majority for
suffrage it is reasonable to suppose
these will increase the majority a
thousand votes or more. Xot in
years have the returns in California
proved so baffling of interpretation
as those on which hinged the fate
of the amendment. Unfamiliar with
methods of analyzing tho returns, the
women leaders of the movement gave
up in despair when tho Bay counties
rolled up a big majority ngninst them
Tuesday, but now as fuller returns
are coming in despair gives way to
hope and hope to jubilation

are reported dead In Guaymae and ri
(inity, and property is reported dam
aged to the extent of J 3041.000, as tho
result of a heavy rainfall ami high
J wfaul last Tuesday afternoon, which
swept the west coast of Mexico. A
number of persons are reported dead
at Ortiss. 30 miles north of Guaymas.
but none of these deaths has been of
ficially confirmed. The rainfall that
swept Guaymas and the Sonora coast
was the heaviest in fifty years, the on
ly one approaching it In violence be
ing recorded in 1SSS.
The sky became overcast Tuesday.
October 4. and some rain fell thai
night. At nine o'clock Wednesday
morning the rain started again with
a stiff breeze which increased until at
noon it had reached a velocity close to
94 miles an hour. The barometer went
down to 28. The rainfall at Guaymas
and Empalme was five inches while,
judging by the amount of water com
ing down from the foothills, the down
pour there was befveen 25 and 3
inches.
On the morning of October sixth the
streets along the water front of Guay
mas were strewn with small boats,
wreckage of lighters and pieces of mer
chandise. Heavy timbers, lying by the
wliarves. were washed two or three
blocks inland up to the foothills. So
great was the incoming rush of water
that fresh water could be dipped any
where In the bay.
An English merchantman took aboard
a fresh supply of water by pumping
from the bay. On the west end of
the bay a number of small craft went
ashore. The Naviera steamer Manuel
Nerreroa, ami the Southern Pacific
steamer Luelia were blown against the
sea wall but both escaped damage. The
Mexican schooner Progresso went down
in the entrance of the Guaymas har
bor, but the Mexican man of war
Democrata, which was lying in the
harbor, escaped damage. Roy ami M.
Titcomb's warehouse at Guaymas was
almost a complete wreck. The Sono
ra railway station was partly un
roofed. A large section of the Slnaloa
sugar company was carried away and
S.WH) cases of sugar were more or less
damaged. The street along the water
front from the hotel Albln to the So
nora railway station is almost impas
sible still because of scattered debris.
The seawall is damaged. The plasa.
of Guaymas is one mass of uprooted
trees and tangled shrubbery. The loss
to Guaymas property owners is very
large. P. J. Archer, assistant genera'
manager of the Southern Pacific rail
road of Mexico, states its damage will
not exceed $300,000. which includes
damage to railroads and shipping-.
Many bridges in North Guaymas ara
damaged. The company announces It
will take a week to repair. The Santa
Rosalia mines of tho Boleo cooper
company are flooded and the people
there who escaped death by floods are
now facing a shortage of water, and
possibly of the food supply. At Jose
do Guaymas, across the bay, orango
growers suffered severely. Tho orang
es were stripped from the trees ami
carried into the gulf.
