TAFT SOUNDS
WARNING
Points Out Clearly the Dan
ger Which Insurgent Re
bellion Within the Repub
lican Party Has Engen
dered. SPEAKS HIS MIND
AT CLUB DINNER
Says He Believes Reverse
of Last Year Was Mere
ly a Reminder of the Re
sponsibility of the Party
in Power.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30. President
Taft surprised a. large audience at
a dinner at the Hamilton club today
by what most of his hearers con
strued as an admission of the pos
sibility of republican defeat in the
icomin.g national election, in speak
ing to what promised to be an en
thusiastic gathering of republicans.
The republicans present hastened to
ascribe the president's utterances to
weariness after long speechmaking,
especially after three days' hard
campaigning in Chicago. It was his
last public utterance in Chicago be
fore leaving for Pittsburg tonight.
"We are approaching what some
people think," he said, '"is a crisis in
the republican party with reference
tp its continuance in the guidance of
the nation. I am hopeful that the
good people of the country, who
know a good thing when they see
It, have only chastened us a little bit
in an off year in order that we may
be better hereafter, but who have
no intention of shifting from shoul
ders that are fitted to bear the
burdens of our present problems and
to carry them to a successful solu
tion, to those who are untried, and
who have new theories; who have
new theories of action that we do not
believe in; and do not believe the
people believe in. However, if it
developes that they- desire a change
we shall loyally support the govern
ment under any conditions with the
hope j that it will inure to the ben
efit of the country, but with the
consolation that if, after one trail
the people think they ought to go
back to the old party that served
them so well in the progressive days
of the nation, why, we can bear that
experience, that's all."
After his address the president re
tired to the seclusion of his hotel
for rest. Though he professed no
weariness, three days steady strain
told on him, and it was a tired man
who led the presidential party out
of Chicago at five-thirty over the
Pennsylvania road for Pittsburg. The
address before the Hamilton club, in
which the possibility of defeat found
expression, was followed by the lay
ing of the corner stone in the new
home of the Hamilton club, one of
the leading republican clubs of the
middle west.

ALL IS READY FOR
REVIEW OF FLEET
Interesting Naval Event Will Begin
Early Wednesday in the Bay
at San Pedro.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 30. With the ar
rival tonight of the armored cruiser
Maryland the fleet which Admiral
Thomas will review off San Pedro
Wednesday afternoon is completely as
sembled here. The review promises to
be a pageant which will eclipse any
naval display ever held In Pacific wa
ters with the exception of the famous
review of the battleship fleet in San
Francisco bay several years ago when
the fleet was on a tour around the
world. The only contingency that
now causes' much concern is the pos
sibility of fog. Naval officers say a
review may not be held in a fog, owing
to the danger of handling so many
ships in such close quarters. Twenty
four ships will participate. They will
leave tomorrow night at 7 o'clock and
arrive off San Pedro at daylight "Wed
nesday. After the review the fleet will
remain two days, when it will dis
perse for various assignments, some
of the ships going to Guam, others
to the Orient and still others remain
ing on duty at coast ports.

ganizations, benevolent persons

Four years ago postmasters

I newed. Under the laws and reg-x

CIRCUIT COURT
HEARS ARGUMENT
NEW YORK. Oct. 30. The pro
posed reorganization plan of the To
bacco trust submitted by the American
Tobacco company and its co-defendants
to the government following the
anti-trust suit, was both praised and
condemned today before the federal
circuit court judges for the southern
district of New York. After Attorney
General WIckersham filed the govern
ment's answer to the plan, counsel for
defendants pleaded with the court to
accept the dissolution (proposition.
Lewis Case Ledrard. arguing for tha
defendants insisted that it was an hon
est plan to comply with the require
ments of the mandate of the supremo
court for a reorganization that will re
store competition in compliance with
the terms of the Sherman anti-trust
law. Supporting the plan, representa
tives of preferred stockholders and
bondholders of the American Tobacco
company and its constituent companies
urged the approval of the division of
the trust into four principal aggregated
companies to be operated independent
ly of each other. In support of these
interests Joseph H. Choate and others
who insisted that the reognanization
plan was sincere, pleaded that no hos
tile elements be permitted absolutely
to destroy it. They said the plan might
be subject to some amendment calcu
lated to assure protection to the prop
erty rights of citizens. Independent
manufacturers, dealers and (producers
unanimously disapproved the plan on
the ground that it would not effectively
break up the trust, that it is a sham
and that the control of all properties
is still being retained by a group of in
dividuals now dominating the industry.
Louis D. Brandeis, of Boston, made the
principal argument against the plan,
and sought to convince the court that
it would be impossible to bring about
a restoration of the competitive system
by this plan. WIckersham, with spec
ial prosecuting attornevs J. C. Rey
nolds and Ewdin P. Grosvenor, will be
heard tomorrow. Judses Lecomb,
Ward, Cox and Noyes are hearing the
case.

TURKS HAVE TURNED.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. The
Turkish embassy received unofficial
dispatches today confirming reports
that Turkish troops have recaptured
part of Tripoli. The messages came
indirectly and do not represent an of

ject. The state department received
a message from Consul John Q.
Wood, at Tripoli, stating that the
Italian forces have not treated the
Arabs as severely as reported.

TRIPOLI, OcL 30. The search for

more deplorable than the massacres of
Arabs here. has been witnesseu

days this has continued. Many women
have perished. Scarcely any large na
tive population has escaped.
WILEY DECLINES HONOR.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. Dr. Har

today when he declined to preside at
the congress to be held in London
next March by the Pure Food Health

invitation extended Wiley, is to "over
haul the antiquated and unefficiently
administered food laws."

Tong King Chong, secretary of the
Chinese national committee here. "We

HARMONY HAS
DISAPPEARED
Animosity Developed Yes
terday as a Result of the
Fight Waged Over the
Tentative Selection of a
Chairman.
ANTI-HUNT PEOPLE
ARE AFTER ZANDER
Foes of Hunt Are Boosting
John Birdno, of Safford,
and it Seems That he Has
a Good Chance to Get the
Job.
There was a meeting of the demo
cratic candidates for the state and
congressional offices held in the city
last night. It was held at the office
of George Purdy Bullard. It was at
tended by Mr, Hunt, candidate 'for
governor; by Mr. Ashurst and Mr.
Smith, candidates for the senate; by
Mr. Bullard himself; by Mr. Geary,
who wants to be a member of the
corporation commission; by Carl Hay
den, who aspires to a seat ifl the
lower house of congress, and by sev
eral of the lesser lights.
All day the candidates were arriv
ing in the city. Mr. Hunt was early
on the scene and he brought his in
terview with him. He gave this inter
view to both the democratic iwpers
of Phoenix. It is the only interview
Mr. Hunt has the only one he has
ever been known to give out, at any
rate. In it he declared once more for
those immutable principles of human
liberty which are embodied In his own
rlroper person, and for the "progress
Iveism" which, according to his view,
enly he and a few other superior mor
tals possess.
Also, Mr. Hunt thinks he will make
quite a nice governor. And the very
first thing he is going to do, after
getting properly inaugurated, is to
seize his trusty pen and write a
message to the legislature advising
the resubmission of the recall to the
people of Arizona.
Of course, Mr. Hunt will get some
body else to write that message. The
writing of messages, or of anything
else for that matter, that requires
proper spelling and the arrangement
of words into sentences, Is not Mr.
Hunt's strong point.
But anyhow, Mr. Hunt said that if
ever he gets attached to that room in
the north end of the capitol building
he's going to write that message and
that's all there Is to it.
The principal object of the meeting
last night was to plan for the cam
paign and to look over the field for
some man to act as chairman of the
state democratic committee. That
matter was discussed pretty generally
throughout the day, too.
And it was right there just where
that discussion began that the dove
of peace spread Its wings and flew
away. For the last umpsteen weeks
the democratic press of Arizona has
been preaching about the beautiful
harmony that prevails in the party.
But you couldn't have found any har
mony with a microscope yesterday.
The Hon. Hunt, candidate as afore
said, was one of the distinguished
gentlemen who gave harmony a rap.
Hunt wants C. M. Zander of this city
to be state chairman. There are va
rious and sundry other gentlemen
whose names will be on the demo
cratic ticket who can't see it that
way. And the worst of It is, these
gentlemen seem to be in the majority.
Zander has been a mighty useful
man to Mr. Hunt. He is the man
who conducted the financial part of
the Hon. Hunt's campaign in this
county, and naturally Mr. Hunt wants
to reward him for his faithful and ef
fective services. En passant, it may
be said that Zander performed a sim
ilar service for the lamented Mr.
O'Neill during the late unpleasantness.
But as O'Neill has gone the way of
all candidates whose incisors are bet
ter than their molars in other words,
who bites off more than they can
chew what he thinks about Zander
Is of no moment.
It do seem that one John Birdno of
Safford has the call for the state
chairmanship. The anti-Hunt faction
is boosting him to a finish and it
really looks as though the Safford
man will win. But it's going to be
something of a fight before it is oveT
and harmony will have several jagged
holes punched In its anatomy before
many moons have waxed and waned.
Not a great deal was accomplished
at the meeting. There was plenty of
talk, there always is plenty of talk at
a democratic gathering; but there
was too much disagreement for the
accomplishment of any decided re
sults.

RATES ARE SUSPENDED.

M. 6. CUNNIFF HAS BEEN
CANDIDATE FOR
In the Event of Democratic Success in the Election of
a Majority of the Members of the Upper House it
is More Than Probable That the Statesman
From Yavapai County Will be Chosen
Presiding Officer.
If the upper house of the Arizona
legislature should be democratic then?
is a strong probability that M. G.
Cunniff, of Yavapai county, will be a
candidate for president of that body;
that- is if Mr. Cunniff, who has re
ceived the nomination for senator at
the hands of the democrats of his
county should be elected.
This matter has been discussed to
some little extent among democrats in
this county and it is believed here that
the Crown King man would be accord

Mr. Wood, who are the Maricopa
GOLD IS GONE
BERNE. Switz., Oct. 30.
There has been a mysterious
theft of bars of gold of a value
of $20,000 which had been con
signed to tho Swiss National
Bank by London houses.
Eight cases of bars of gold
having a total value of more
than $200,000 were shipped from
the British capital. When they
reached here it was found that
one of the cases had been emp
tied of Its gold and bars of lead
had been substituted.
AMERICAN POPE MAY
BE A POSSIBILITY
Increase in Number of Cardinals in
This Country Indicates Change
in Catholic Government.
ROME. Oct. 30. Comments on the
forthcoming consistory at which 1"
cardinals, including three Americans,
will be created, continues to emphasize
the great significance of Pope Pius
decision to grant America four repre
sentatives In the sacred college. By
some, it is asserted the way is being
paved for the advent of an American
pope. It Is pointed out the greatest
body of Catholics In the world live in
America and its possessions, the Phil
ippines, Porto Rico, Guam and Ha
waii. Not only are American Catho
lics superior in number, but in deep
religious feeling, loyalty to the Holy
See and in wealth and generosity. An
Irish-American pope is suggested for
the day when it is no longer consid
ered necessary that the papacy he held
in Italy.

SUPREME COURT ENDS
ALL STATE CONTROL
Tribunal of Last Resort Virtually
Eliminates States From Consider
ation of Transportation Matters
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. Complete
control of railroads by the Inter
state commerce commission and vir
tual elimination of state commis
sions from such control is foreshad
owed in an opinion handed down to
day by the Supreme court of the
United States. The court held that
all locomotives, cars and other
equipment used by any railroad,
which is highway of interstate com
merce, must comply with the federal
safety appliance act. The court
held that compliance with the federal
law is compulsory on all railroads
engaged in the transportation of
freight or persons, from one state
to another. It held also that the
cars and equipment of such roads,
even if engaged in transportation
within state lines, must be considered
as part and parcel of the state, and
trehefore under jurisdiction of the
federal commission. Members of the
Interstate commerce comission are
jubilant at the supree court's rul
ing which was unanimous.

FOWLER AT TUCSON.
TUCSON, Oct. 30. Covering a dis
tance of 9S miles in 90 minutes Aviator
Robert C. Fowler arrived here from
Maricopa at 3:10 this afternoon. He
was cheered by a large crowd as he
alighted on the campus of the Univer
sity of Arizona. In landing the ma
chine smashed against the grand stand
on the football field and was slightly
damaged. Fowler was unhurt. He
remains here to meet Rodgers who is
coming west tomorrow.
SU66ESTED AS A
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
county candidates, would seek the hon
or in tlie event of his election and it
is altogether likely their support would
go to Cunniff.
Cunniff is a scholarly man, and is
a good parliamentarian. Then, he is
radical enough to suit the most ex
acting democrat in Arizona and that
would be a strong factor in his favor
in the event of democratic success. Ho
was a member of the constitutional
convention, and as chairman of the
revision committee, probably did more
hard work than any other member of
that body.
HULING TOLD OF
SENATORIAL DEAL
The Witness Admitted, However, That
His Knowledge is all Based on
Hearing Evidence.
MILWAUKEE. Oct. 30. The story
that Edward Hines, the lumberman
and Robert J. Shields, assisted in the
election of Senator Isaac Stephenson,
as given in the testimony of Lieuten
ant Governor Morris, was re-iold be
fore the senatorial investigating com
mittee todav with added details.
State Senator Paul O. Huling, who
was with Morris in an attorney's of
fice in Chicago, testified that at that
time he overheard Wirt H. Cook, of
Duluth, giving details about the al
leged relations between Hines and
Shields over the amount of money the
latter was to be oaid for work he had
done 'putting it over' for Stephenson.
He said Cook declared Hines told
Shields he would send him to the pen
itentiary if he Insisted on demanding
fifteen thousand dollars for his share.
On cross examination Shields admitted
that he had nothing but hearsay con
cerning this phase of the investigation.
It was announced by Senator Heyburn,
chairman, that the Investigation will
close tomorrow if the remaining wit
nesses can be examined at that time.
Senator Stephenson and his campaign
managers will be given an opportunity

RULE OF L
Bordwell Holds McNamara
Defense Has no Right to
Challenge Juror Because
of Opposition to Death
Penalty.
SEVEN MEN ARE
IN JURY BOX
Broadening of Rule by the
Court Will Have the Ef
fect of Expediting Prog
ress in Conduct of Fam
ous Trial.
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 30. Judgo
Walter Bordwell of the superior court
today accused the attorneys for the
defense in the McNamara case of try
ing to circumvent his rulings and re
jected two challenges against tales
men, which formed the basis of his
supposition. He also refused the de
fense the privilege of challenging a
juror who said he would not convict
the prisoner on circumstantial evi
dence alone, and held this challenge Is
available only to the state.
Under these rulings the jury box
contained tonight at the close of the
trial for today three men passed for
cause by both sides, in addition to four
so qualified when today's session be
gan. To both rulings today the defense
noted exceptions. For the first time
during the trial the defense brought
into court today one of Its investigat
ors, R. H. Fitzgerald, a young attor
ney, to confront a talesman. George
W. Johnson, a retired superintendent
of an iron foundry, after he said he
had not told anyone of his belief that
the Times building was blown up by
union men and had not talked to any
one about the case.
Fitzgerald testified that he visited
Johnson, asked him for some statisti
cal information and later talked with
him about the Times case. He could
not remember what was said without
referring to his report. Attorney Dar
row announced that Fitzgerald will
testify further tomorrow.
Johnson is the man, challenged for
implied bias on the ground that he is
opposed to conviction in cases involv
ing the death penalty. The challenge
was refused by the court specifically
on the ground that the defense had no
right to prefer it. There were chal
lenges against Frampton and Winter
on the same grounds. They will also
be denied, but they met disapproval
by the court as being intended to cir
cumvent the previous ruling that men
are not disqualified because of their
expressed opinions that McNamara Is
guilty of murder. Both men contra
dicted themselves somewhat, the court
said, under the examination by oppos
ing counsel. The court also held that
they got their opinions entirely from
common report, public rumor and
reading the papers, all of which do
not except talesmen from qualifying.
To this the defense objected, basing
it on the grounds that Winter's opin
ion concerning strikes is based on per
sonal knowledge, as he once replaced a
striker and was pelted with eggs and
other missies. Sam Mendenhall. an
orange grower, was accepted as to
cause by both sides, and Frank Frakes.
a farmer, was under examination by
the defense when adjournment came.
