MEXICO CITY, July 5
Elections of president, vice
president, deputies and sen
ators were held today, in
that portion of the republic
controlled by the Huerta
government. Indiffere n c e
was manifested everywhere.
General Huerta appeared
to be the favorite candidate
for the presidency, with
General Blanquet for the
vice-presidency. Huerta, it
is reported, received vir
tually an unanimous vote of
confidence.
Returns indicate the re
election of all the present
members of the chamber of
deputies and the senate.
The lightest vote in many
years was recorded both in
the capital and the nearby
towns.
To Move on Queretaro
EAGLE PASS, Texas, July 5.
Constitutionalist troops from the
division of the east were ordered by
General Pablo Gonzales to proceed at
once to Queretaro, according to ve
ports sent to Saltillo.' The move
ment is thought to have been pre
cipitated by the withdrawal of the
body of federals under General Pas
iual Orozco, from the Queretaro gar
rison to reinforce the garrison at
Mexico city, although, the fedevals'
final stand probably will be at
Queretaro.
Colonel Mark-l reported that the
entire country is friendly to the consti
tutionalists, and declared that the
San Luis Potosi garrison is so weak
ened by the continued withdrawal of
the troops that he did not expect the
federals to make a strong resistance.
Settling Differences
TORREON, July 5 When the Car-ranza-Villa
conference ended after a
long session, both sides were appar
ently confident that whatever dif
ferences existed between the consti
tutionalists' leaders were in a fair
way of being eliminated tomorrow
when the conference will reconvene
for the final session.
A formal statement was issued
that a complete understanding of the
points taken up today had been
reached and stated that as soon as
railroads to the north are repaired,
many of Villa's brigades will be
sent to Chihuahua city, which Villa
himself is expected to visit as soon
as the conferences are ended.
Alliance With Zapata
SANTA CRUZ. July 5 It is ru
mored here that an alliance between
Huerta and Emiliano Zapata will be
formed soon. Both here and at the
capital a vague conviction exists that
a crisis is imminent, but only vague
reasons are offered for the belief

I ASHOCIATBn PRESS DISPATCH
BERLIN, July 5. Did President Mc
Kinley cable to . Admiral Sampson
during the war with Spain: "Don't
risk a single ship; war with Germany
Imminent."
A writer who uses the pseudonym
of Carolus Adolphus, and who is un
derstood to be a former prominent
diplomat, declares that this dispatch
was sent, following closely on the
Dewey-Diedriehs dispste at Manila.
The statement Is made in a book en
titled "Julchen in the Land of Lib
erty," which consists of a series of
letters describing a trip to America.
One of these letters describes the
Manila Incident and continues:
"The question is, what did our dip
lomats have In mind in sending a
fleet? If it had been merely a mat
ter of protecting German life and
property, an armored skiff would have
been sufficient. The truth is, how
ever, that we really Intended to grab

NEW YORK, July a. In the ruins
of the tenement wrecked yesterday
by the explosion of a bomb which it
i.i believed was intended for use
against John I). Rockefeller or his
son, the police found that Arthur
Oaron, who was killed with three
others, used his apartemnts as a
ctntev for the distribution of inflam
matory literature, ami that it was
filled with death-dealing explosives.
In the opinion of the police the evi
dence tends to show an anarchistic
plot.
In the gruesome but suggestive
pyre, evidence was uncovered of a
stve'ed hand clutching two small
pieces of wire made ready for con
nection. The authorities believe the
owner of the hand was in the act of
making an electric connection for
one of the bombs when the explo
sion killed him.
The Industrial Workers of the

was not a member of that organiza
tion and recently was refused ad

the explosion.
HEALTH OF PANAMA
ASSOCIATED PRESS DlSi'ATCHl
PANAMA. July 5. To further safe
guard the public health, the canal
government has proposed to the Pan
amanian government that the numer
ous coach and livery stables in the
heart of aPnama city be concentrated
in one location, where they can be
readily supervised find cleanliness
maintained.
The plan is for a large public sta
ble in one of the outlying districts
under the direct supervision of the
Panama railroad, to accommodate all
the coach and car animals in the city.
Stalls and parts of the building will
be rpnterl to the owners of these ani
mals, as also will space in another
building for the vehicles. This will
do away with practically every private
stable in the city.
he present stables are great breed
ing places for flies, which at this sea

plan wil Hip shortly carried out.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 5 Old Man
Trouble rode with Ellie' Wilson today
and "Old Blue Indian" and Lorenzo
Hoido also on an Indian won the se
cond annual Prescott Loop race in the
record time of 53 minutes and 3 se
conds. This is the fastest time the
loop has ever been negotiated by any
vehicle. Six starters lined up shortly
after ten o'clock and all got away like
machinery until it came the turn of
Ellie Wilson, who again drew last.
Wilson failed to get a shot out of his
"old blue" and was forced to run with
the machine taking two minutes hand
icap in this delay. The main streets
of Prescott were most poorly policed
and crowds interfered greatly with the
start. Ho the indefatagible Wilson
turned around and pushed down hill to
Set going then turned up again and
marie a tremendous spurt to get away.
So terrible was the grind that only
Hoido, the winner, was saved from
mechanical trouble. Rill Doheney, the
first starter on a Merkle, had chain
trouble. Harry Lane who won second
place, made a magnificent dash after
having taken the first hard turns in
a cautious manner. Between Ameri
can ranch and the finish he made up
over h. minute on Boido. finishing forty-six
-seconds slower than the win
ner. Wilson fixed his chain twice and
spilled in a sensational manner on
the last turn into Gurley street and
even at that finished in 55.33. The
ride of Wilson amply repaid the
watchers. At no time was he doing
'.ess than thirty miles an hour and fre
quently pushed up his speed to over
sixty. Only a bad chain prevented him
putting the record so low it could
never again be touched with the track
in its present condition. Roy Belding
was the only Prescott rider to finish.
He had slight mechanical troubles and
failed to cut in on the hour mark. Boi
do turned the tables on Wilson. It was
in the Phoenix-Prescott race that
young Lorenzo by an act of kindness
to another rider lost to Wilson by the
narrow margin of ten minutes. Boi
do's time is five minutes less than that
of Paul Keating who won the 1913
loop race. "I lost to two good men and
I'm satisfied." said Wilson after the
race. He displayed two badly laceer
ated hands as the result of his thrill
ing flop on Hospital curve.
Summary: Boido first, start. 10:20;
time 33:03. Lane second, 53:49. Wil
son third, 55:33; Belding fourth,
1.07:30. Doheney out at Jerome Junc
tion acount of broken chain. Will
Hughes out on Mount Vernon street
curve, where he skidded, hit curve and
wrecked his machine, but escaped al
most unhurt.
G. P. Bullard. referee, President K.
S. Clark of the Prescott Auto club and
Lyle Abbott of The Republican of
ficially inspected the course of the loop
auto-race today. The Metropol is not
hcTe but all other drivers have been in
structed by Bullard and are now pre
paring for the race. The start is at
nine o'clock sharp. The auto race will
probably be perilous as the course is
very fast and tbe drivers are very
jealous of the fast time made by Boido
in winning today's motorcycle race. To
morrow's features are the auto race
and finals in the world's championship
bucking contests at the fair grounds.
The next to the last day of the Fron
tier celebration finds excitement con
centrating on these two big events.
Hundreds of dollars have been placed
on the automobile race with the Phoe
nix Velie and Stan Murphy's Phoenix
Mercer as favorites. The Phoenix
crowd continues large but the excur
sion which leaves at midnight will take
many away. Naquin has decided to
take the wheel himself for the loop
race and "Red" Brewer will act as
mechanic and relief driver. Bullard
discovered in A. A. A. rules that no
name except thaf of the car is allow
ed on sides so "September eve" which
was christened by the Republican will
have to appear in the race with lamp
black hiding her name. This was a
sad blow to Naquin but he's game.
Mnrnhv's Mercer is the onlv ear on
which bear stories have not been cir
culated. Jack Smith's No. 9 Buick is in
good shape apparently and Jack him
self will act as mechanic. Charlie
Hunt in the Tucson Stutz is most con
fident of winning but said he hasn't
the car with which to pass those ahead
of him. Naquin drew No. 8 in the line

G. F. Uinehart of Temper
ance Federation Delivers
Address at Opening of
Series of Union Meetings
at New Civic Center
That the Y. M. C. A. has provided a
splendid civic social center in the re
cently completed outdoor auditorium
was again demonstrated last evening,
when several hundred people gathered
on the new plaza to attend the first of
a series of union services held under
the auspices of the churches of the city
After a short song service, G. F.
Rinehart, superintendent of the state
temperance federation, who had
charge of the meeting, gave an address
on the subject of the proposed prohi
bition amendment to the constitution,
and of the campaign now being carried
on for its adoption at the election in
November. In comparing it with sim
ilar amendments which have been
adopted in other states, he said that
the one proposed for Arizona is the
most perfect one that has ever been
drawn up, and told of the defects ex
isting In other states, which have in
terfered with the enforcement of the
law as originally designed, and said
that in his estimation the one now pro
posed for Arizona is the most perfect
one that has ever been drawn up.
"Kansas" he said, "is the nearest dry
of any state, but after January first,
that honor will belong to Arizona."
Superintendent Rinehart then pre
sented a table of statistics, showing
the cost of operation in Graham, a
"dry" county, as compared with the
expenditures in Maricopa, and spent
some time in explaining and comment
ing on the same.
Music at the service last evening
was furnished by tbe choir of the First
Baptist church, under the direction of
F. S. Blackwell. who 'will have charge
of the music throughout the series of
meetings. It is the intention to organ
ize a union choir from the musical or
ganizations of the various churches,
and to use the same books that were
used during the Brown and Curry
meetings. The series of meetings, which will
be in charge of the ministers of the
churches of the city, will continue
throughout the summer, taking the
place of the regular Sunday evening
services at the various churches.

ASSOCIATED PBESS DISPATCH
VIENNA, July ' 5 Now that the
bodies of the murdered Archduke
Francis Ferdinand and his wife are
buried, a bitter controversy is raging
over the manner in which the funeral
was conducted. Friends of the duch
ess are indignant at the emphasis
laid to her inferior birth.
Vienna papers published reports
that the bodies were hurriedly carried
into the railway waiting room at
Poechlam, en route from Serannev,
to escape a thunderstorm, and that
the coffins remained on the stone
floor for two hours, while volunteer
firemen supposed to be assisting in
controlling the arrangements, were
drinking beer and smoking cigarettes
and the more important peisonages
smoked cigars in close proximity to
the bodies.

Republican Leaders in Con

Committee to Work Out
Plans for the Coming
Campaign
(Special to The Republican)
PRESCOTT, July 5. With the ap
pointment of Robert E. Morrison as
chairman of a committee to decide
upon what terms the republicans
would meet the progressives in the
placing of a ticket in the field this
fall, republican leaders in conference
here this afternoon and tonight
voiced approval of the sentiment to
extend an invitation to the prog
ressives to join hands with the re
I ublicans at the primaries.
About 100 republican leaders took
part in the conference of this even
ing, but the progressives took no
part and were not even represented.
The surprise f the conference came
at the outset when Judge Richard E.
Sloan moved the appointment of
Morrison as chairman of the com
mittee to confer with the progressive
leaders with the hope of devising
some plan whereby co-operation
without fusion might be adopted.
The motion carried unanimously and
Morrison was advised that the ex
tension of an invitation to the prog
ressives to come in and assist at the
primaries would be acceptable to
those present.
However, the. progressives earlier
hail decided that they would not only
tiLke no part in the conference, but
would oppose anything that smacked
of fusion. There was a sentiment

Military Preparat( is

LONDON, July 5. With every week
of suspense in the settlement of the
future government of Ireland. the
menace of the military preparations
by the Ulster and the Home Rule
volunteers increases. The present
tendency among the volunteers of the
south is to accept leadership by the
nationalist party, which John Red
mond offered them. Thus led, there
would be a clean division of Home
Rulers and anti-Home Rule men into
hostile armed camps. The very dan

a prospect presents furnishes the best

Continent Are to Be
Packed in Sausage

MENU NOT AN
ENTICING ONE
Rations Will Be Thirty-six
Ounces Per Day Com
pared With Average of
" Three Pounds Eaten Daily,
by Ordinary Person
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHj
LONDON, July 5. All the provis
ions for Sir Ernest Shackleton's trip
across the South Polar Continent are
to be packed in sausage skins. "They
are the most nutritious part of the
composition," says Sir Ernest. "Wo
tried them in Norway but did not suc
ceed. eW shall no doubt do better at
the South Pole when we are more hun
gry." The menu prepared for the party is
not an enticing one. It has been decid
ed upon, however, under the advice of
the Royal Army Medical College and
is made up of food that is easy to
transport and at the same time will
keep the body -warm and strong. Thu
lations will be 36 ounces a day, com
pared with the average three pounds a
day eaten by the ordinary person. In
the latter there is a lot of waste which
has been eliminated from the rations
of the explorers.
There will be daylight during the
whole five months the party is on the
march, so the ordinary day of twenty
four hours will be disregarded, and a
new day of nineteen established. Sup
posing the hour for rising on the first
day is seven o'clock, the time table
will work out on thise lines:
7- S a. m. Preparations for the start
and breakfast, consisting of three
ounces of lard per man, two ounces
of sugar, one ounce of dried milk,
wheat protein and oats.
8- 12 m. March.
12-1 p. m. Rest and lunch, consist
ing of nut food, composed of Brazils,
almonds and beach nuts, mixed with,
oil; aritf-dried milk, oats.
1-5 p. m. March.
5-7 p. m. Pitch camp , rest, and
take dinner, consisting of the same
food in the same quantity as break
fast. 7 p. m. to 2 a, m. Sleep.
The same round of nineteen hours
will then be repeated.
Sir Ernest explains that the lard ani
sugar supply heat; the protein builds
up muscles: the nuts are the most
nourishing food in the world, and the
oats, mixed with other rations, afford
the bulk necessary to keep the organs
from becoming atrophied. "You may
feel rather sick when you hear of it,"
said Sir Ernest, "its rather a greasy
compound. Indeed, when we tried it in
Norway we thought it a very unpleas
ant sort of ration, but I can assure you
that scientifically considered, it is the
finest that has ever been devised. I
hope that this time hunger will play a
very small part in our troubles."
As the party intends to cut right
across the continent, a march of 1800
miles, they will have to carry all their
food with them, and cannot like pre
vious explorers, whose objective was
the pole, depend upon food depots on
the return march. Therefore the great
est attention is being paid to provis
ions. The organization is perfect so
far as human ingenuity can devise.
They are allowing fifteen days food
for blizzards, but they can go on much
shorter rations if necessary. To carry
the food motor sledges with aerial pro
pellors will be used for the first time,
and in addition there will be one hun
dred Canadian dogs, which can carry
100 pounds each.
For protection while sleeping' a
sleeping hood, something after the
fashion of an automobile hood, Is to be
used. This weighs 37 pounds and ac
comodates six men. whereas the old
tents weighed 3ft pounds and accomo
dated three people.

respectively. The most interesting de
velopment is the plan, hitherto unpub

Edward Carson for taking charge of
affairs by force if a provisional gov

the commercial men of Belfast have
used their influence in Ulster coun
