ARIZONA OPPOSES
JOINT STATEHOOD
CITIZENS AGAINST ADMISSION
WITH NEW MEXICO
George H. Kelly Asserts That It Is
Preferred to Remain as Territory
If Separate Government Is
Not Permtlted
George H. Kelly, editor and proprietor
of two of the leading dally newspapers
In Arizona— the Blsbee Review and the
Douglas International American— who
has been spending severaldays In Los
Angeles on his annual vacation, left
yesterday at noon to meet the congres
sional party headed by "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, who are beginning a tour of
Arizona. . .
Mr. Kelly will meet the party at
Douglas this morning and accompany
it on Its Journeylngs through Arizona.
It is the intention of the party to prac
tically observe and hear from the citi
zens of Arizona about the conditions in
the territory and to learn if the terri
tory Is entitled to Join the sisterhood
of states without joint statehood with
New Mexfco.
In discussing the opposition of Arl
zonans to Joint statehood Mr. Kelly
said yesterday:
"Arizona Is now on the anxious seat
and special anxiety is abroad in the
sun-kissed land because of the ap
proaching visit of a congressional
party, which is expected to reach Ari
eona tomorrow.
"It is not known just who will be of
the party or how large It will be, but
It will be headed by Uncle Joe Cannon,
■who Is bringing his colleagues west for
the purpose of making investigations of
the conditions in Arizona and New
Mexico as bearing on the proposition
of statehood.
"In the last congress Speaker Cannon
•wag an ardent supporter of joint state
hood for Arizona and New Mexico.
Such a bill passed the lower house by
a large majority of votes, and after it
was amended in the senate by a pro
vision giving separate statehood to the
territories Mr. Cannon took his speak
ership ax and knocked it in the head.
"The congressional party will find the
people of Arizona just as determined
in their opposition to joint statehood as
they were when this bill was before the
last congress. Arlzonana feel that they
are entitled to separate statehood, and
when the precedents of the past are
considered there can be no doubt obout
the qualification of the territory to
assume and maintain a creditable state
government.
"Arizona was made a territory in
1863, being cut from New Mexico be
cause of the Inconvenience of communi
cation between the two subdivisions on
account of the range of mountains
which divides them.
Political Maneuvering
"The same conditions which caused
'Arizona to be made a territory exist
how, and there ran be but one reason
for throwing Arizona back with New
Mexico and that is to strengthen the
Republican party and to weaken the
Xvest in the national legislature.
"It is the plea of Arizona that when
It was made a territory the pledge was
given to those who would come and
develop Its resources and fit it for mem
bership in the sisterhood of states, they
would be given self-government and a
separate state.
"That had been the promise to all the
territories, nnd up to the present time
that rule or precedent or promise has
never been broken.
"Separate statehood Is the heritage
of the pioneers of Arizona who braved
the hardships and dangers of an Apache-
Infested desert to reclaim it for civiliza
tion and industry and to now deprive
these people of this heritage would bo
the crowning political outrage of the
Republican party.
"Mr. Cannon and his associates will
find Arizona hetter qualified for state
hood than were a majority of the ter
ritories which have been admitted to
Btatehood since the formation of the
government.
"They will find the same condition In
New Mexico. They will find a larger
population in New Mexico, but greater
Industrial prosperity in Arizona.
"They will find that joint statehood
will mean that tho people of New
Mexico will he in complete control of
the new state and that the people of
'Arizona, by reason of their minority,
Nvill lose their political identity, which
Is dear to them and to all Americans.
"There will be no harmony in the
proposed joint state. Arizona will have
no assurance that her splendid terri
torial university will i.ot be abandoned

That's the personal question a woman

Is It a complicated case? Thousands

or perhaps converted into a normal
school.
Proud of School System
"Ariaona Is proud of her public school
system, which Is the equal of any state
In the Union. Arizona has provided
fine public school buildings and the
children of the territory are all pro
vided with good schools wherever there
are ten living within a radius of four
miles.
"Liberal appropriations are made an
nually by the Arizona legislature for
the support of the university and nor
mal schools, the Industrial school and
other Institutions, while In New Mexico
the liberal appropriations go to con
vents and parochial schools, while the
public school system has remained In
great neglect in the past.
"With joint statehood there will be no
one to guarantee that the splendid pub
lic school system of Arizona will be
preserved and not supplanted by the
inadequate system in New Mexico.
"Joint statehood would begin in great
confusion and continue In growing
strife between the two sections.
"Sneaker Cannon will have ample
opportunity for disabusing his mind of
many erroneous statements which have
grown out of the report made by Sena
tor Eoverldge of Indiana, who visited
the territory four years ago to make
observations In connection with the
plea of Arizona for statehood.
"That was during the pendency of
the omnibus statehood bill. Beverldge
reported that thfi territory had reached
practically the limit of industrial de
velopment.
"Mr. Cannon will find that since the
visit of Mr. Beveridge, Arizona has ad
vanced more rapidly In the development
of her resources than during any four
years since It was cut from New
Mexico.
"He will find that to accommodate
the great Warren mining district alone
at Bisbee there has been purchased and
constructed more than 800 miles of rail
road, reaching the great coal fields Vt
Dawson, N. M., also owned by the
mining company which did the railroad
building and purchasing.
"He will find at Douglas a city of
8000 people which had barely been sur
veyed on the occasion of the visit of
Senator Beverldge to Arizona.
World's Largest Smelter
: 'He will find that in Douglas Is now
practically completed the largest copper
smelting plant in the world. He will
find a second smelter producing 5,000,000
pounds of copper per month. He will
find that in Douglas has been expended
more money during the past year for
schools and churches than in any five
counties in New Mexico during the
same length of time.
"He will find here $50,000 In public
school buildings, J35.000 in a Y. M. C. A.
building now nearly ready for occu
pancy, and he will find churches which
cost in the aggregate more than $40,000,
and all this since the declaration of Mr.
Beverldge that Arizona had reacheJ
the limit of Industrial development.
"At every point included in the itin
erary of Speaker Cannon he will see
evidence of great industrial expansion
from the time he enters Arizona until
he leaves it.
"At every point he will find a prac
tically unanimous sentiment against
joint statehood. He will find that the
people of Arizona would prefer to re
main Indefinitely under the present ter
ritorial form of government than to
agree to Jointure.
"If Mr. Cannon is seeking to learn
the true conditions in Arizona the peo
ple of Arizona feel that when he shali
have passJd through the mining dis
tricts, the agricultural valleys and«the
pastural ranges of this territory he will
agree that Arizona is entitled to sepa
rate statehood and be ready to acquiesce
in the just supplications of our people."

Policeman Wins Out in Championship
Contest With G. Cavelari and
Mastiff at Park
While the German-Americans were
celebrating the 222 d anniversary of the
arrival of their ancestors at German-
I town, yesterday afternoon at Chutes
park, members of a gang known as
"Coyotes" and other ruffians entered
the park and created a disturbance,
but it was soon quelled by the police.
A man giving the name of G. Cave
lari entered the park with a bulldog
and uttempted to put Patrolman Billy
MatuskiwiU outside. Instead, the offi
cer soon had Cavelari in subjection,
and the bulldog on his back, and later
sent them to the city jail.
Although thousands thronged the
park, it was one of the most orderly
crowds of its size ever assembled in
Loa Angeles, and not an arrest was
made among the members of the Ger
man-American party.

A Cruel Criticism
Henry James, at dinner In Boston,
talked about criticism.
"It Is never wise," he said, "to take
up a work in order to put it down. If
there Is nothing good in a work, why
waste one's time discussing it? As for
criticisms that are pure and simple
attacks they are cruel. Silence, it
seems to me, is criticism cruel enough.
"What, for Instance, could have been
crueler than Rossini'^ silent criticism
of a score sent to him by a young
musician? Rossini was fond of mac
aroni. The musician, knowing this,
sent him, along with his Bcore, a
packet of macaroni of unusual excel
lence. In a humble little note he
asked the composer to point out the
merits In his work, if he found any
there.
"Rossini's reply ran like this:
'Thanks for your score and for the
macaroni. The latter was excellent.' "

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. B.— The ar
rival of the body of MaJ. Gen. Kondra
tenko, commander af the Seventh East
Siberian rllles, who was killed last De
cember at Tort Arthur, and its inter
ment in the venerable Alexander Nev
sky monastery today, was marked by
the most impressive military and civil
spectacle witnessed here since the early
days of the war. For once all classes
of the population of the capital awak
ened from that apathy which was un
touched by the news of the battles of
Mukden or the Sea of Japan or the an
nouncement of the conclusion of peace.
Thousands of spectators standing
silent and uncovered in a drizzling rain
walked the broad Nevsky Prospect
from the Moscow station to the gates of
the monastery, while grand dukes, min
isters of state and the highest officers
of the army and navy, many of whom
had won distinction at Port Arthur and
in Manchuria, followed the coffin on
foot through the muddy streets as com
mon mourners with the widow and sor.
of the dead general.
In the procession could be seen the
uniforms of every order of Russian
military. Each regiment of the St.
Petersburg garrison sent a detachment
of veterans, many bearing the thirty
year service medals, to form the mili
tary escort.
- Conspicuous among the clergy were
two militant priests from Port Arthur,
wearing the broad yellow and black
ribbons of the Order of St. George,
awarded them for gallantry during the
siege.
Many cities were represented by
deputations. The emperor had expect
ed to attend, but he was unable to do
so. He was represented by Grand
Duke Vladimir. Metropolitan Antonlus,
assisted by the choristers, celebrated
the "Fanlchedo" for requiem and eulo

CUSTOMER ASSAULTS GROCER
Stranger Strikes L. Hutchlnaon on the
Head With a Section of Gas Pipe
and Is Given a Thrashing
L. Hutchinßon, proprietor of a gro
cery store at 835 South Broadway, nar
rowly escaped a severe beating by a
stranger early yesterday morning.
At about 5:30 o'clock a man who has
been a regular customer for several
days entered the store and bought a
dozen egjs. Theso were given to him
and he handed Hutchinson one dollar.
Hutchinson handed him back 60 cents.
When he had returned the change tc
his etistomer the man pulled a large
piece of gas pipe from under his coat
and struck Hutchinson a severe blow
on the head.
A struggle ensued between them, but
the man failed to land another blow.
Seeing that he could not master the
grocer he ran outside and escaped.
Several persons were standing out
side, but mado no effort to assist
Hutchlnson. Later in the morning
Hutchinson called at the receiving hos
pital to have his injuries attended. He
was unable to furnish a description of
the man.
DRAWS A LESSON
FROM BABYLON
DR. MYERS PREACHES SERMON
ON ATONEMENT
Graphically Portrays Tragedy of the
Doomed City and Brings His Hear
ers to Understand Parallel With
Modern Conditions
The opening services of the Day of
Atonement, the most solemn in the
Jewish calendar, were held last even-
Ing at Temple B'nal B'rlth and the
Synagogue Beth Israel. At the former
Dr. S. Hecht preached on "The Willing
Messenger." The traditional music
was rendered.
At the Synagogue Beth Israel Dr.
Isadore Myers preached an eloquent
sermon, likening the vices of the pres-i
ent day to those of ancient Babylon,
He said in part:
"It is the last night of Babylon, the
mightiest and most beautiful city of
the ancient world. The Babylon with
her beautiful temples, she that was
the empress, the proud, is now on the
eve of being conquered by the power
ful legions of the Medes and Persians,
who are at the gates.
"People are given up to life. There
Is revelry and all sorts of orgies, and
the enemy outside the gates. In the
temple Is the king presiding over a
thousand lords of the realm and the
ladles of the harem and during the
feast the king sends for the golden
vessels and they drink.
"There are numerous Images of gold
and silver and they worship them and
drink out of the vessels taken from
the temple of the law. The enemy is
still without.
"Drink! Drink, oh, Babylon! This is
your last night and that of your king.
The clashing of arms "Bholl take the
place of the clashing of cups and wine
will turn into blood. The thousand
lords shall be stalbed to the heart
and the work of the conquering Medes
is established.
Death Sits Enthroned
"There is another king in the pal
ace. Death sits enthroned on the dead.
"The king is arrested by the sign
of a hand. Lights are put out and the
hand writes on the wall in letters
of fire. The meaning no one knows.
At last the king offers the purple and
the golden chains and one-third the
kingdom, but no one can tell the
meaning. The dowager mother turns
1 finds tho king in terror and she,
comforts him, asking that. the vener
able seer of the Jews be summoned.
"Daniel, covered with age and hon
ors, appears before the frightened king
and speaks. 'Oh, king, your father had
been taught a lesson which humbled
him. You have not humbled yourself
and you have lifted yourself up against
tho Lord of Heaven. You have com
mitted sacrilege and taken the pure
and holy vessels and defiled them —
you and your lords and women of the
hnrem. You who have glorified gods of
gold and brass that cannot see, neither
hear nor think, and the God in whose
hands is your breath and destiny —
Him you have not glorified. There you
read your doom. God has weighed you
in the balance and found you want
ing."
"That night Babylon fell. The king
was killed and the Persians were the
conquerors.
"Friends, Is it not true with all of
us? Are we not at a banquet of life,
enjoying lawfully or unlawfully all
the pleasures we can reach? We are
forgetting the enemy Is very near.
Death Is outside the gates. The citadel
of our life Is being besieged and yet we
sip and sip of the pleasures of life,
and the enemy is without.
"Sometimes we are suddenly start
led when we realize fate is writing
something 1 for us, some mysterious
message that may terrify us.
"Then our mother— sweet, dear
mother — our religion, addresses us in
order for us to know what fate is writ
ing. The heavenly appointed judge, our
own conscience, listens to what we
are.
"It is on this day of atonement
every Israelite listens to his own con
science. Let it speak without flattery,
lift the veil and tell us the truth as
we are and not as we would appear.
"You have been given the vessels of
God's temple and have actually been
drinking to excess. Think of the holy
vessels God has given vs — vessels taken
from the holiest heaven and bestowed
upon you. Have you abused them?
"Have you not given the best for the
gold and sliver? What sacrifice for
the mighty dollar have you not made?
Do you think that in a moment God
can forget all this?"
"There is a pair of scales suspended
from the throne of God and all must
be weighed In it. Will you be found
wanting? Sons and daughters of
Israel, be true to your heritage; re
spect your parents next to God. On
this day will God make atonement for
you."
GEN. W. T. CLARK DYING
NEW YORK, Oct. B.— General Wil
liam Thomas Clark, only surviving ad
jutant general and chief of staff of
General Grant's army of Tennessee, is
dying 1 from cancer In St. Luke's hospi
tal. He was brought from his home in
Washington, D. C. to this city two
weeks ago in the hope that nn opera
tion would save his life. His wife,
three daughters and son accompanied

BIG LOAN FOR VICEROY
LONDON, Oct. 8. — Correspondents of
the Morning Post at Shanghai ana
Hongkong say that the Chinese gov
ernment has loaned to Viceroy Chang
Chi Tung $5,500,000 at 4% per cent for
the final return to China of the Han
kow-Canton railway concessions, the
amount to be secured by the opium rev
enues of the provinces of Hupe and
Hunan and of Canton. Of this amount
the correspondents say $2,000,000 was
paid to the viceroy on Saturday and
the remaining $3,600,000 will be sent
to New York.
SHAH OF PERSIA
MUST HIRE HOUSE
BIG HOTELS DO NOT WANT
HIM AS GUEST
Former Senator Dorsey Coming Back
to New York to Live — Mrs.
Astor's Secret of Keep.
Ing Young
i
Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. B.— The coming of
the shah of Persia to New York, which,
It is understpod, will take place in the
near future, will be marked by an
unique feature. Of all the magnificent
hotels that have been erected in Man
hattan It is not likely that the doors
of one will be opened to receive him.
He will have to buy a house and dwell
there or take up his quarters in a sec
ond rate hostelry. But what will most
astonish him in New York will ba the
tall buildings. He will think he has
made a trip with Col. Younghusband
to Lhassa, the seat of government in
Thibet. He will see at a glance how
similar the Bowling Green building is
to the slde-hlll palace of the grand
llama.
The shah has a habit of Insisting
that everything he eats be flr3t tasted
by somebody else. There is a deal of
bad food In Persia and the shah Is to
be credited with sense. What he actual
ly fears is poison. Several shahs of his
family have gone 'to eternal bliss by
the intermediation of poison placed
In their wine or paties.
There Is a woman In New York who
makes it a business to choose your
perfumes for you.
"How much money does it take to
keep a fashionable woman In per
fumes?" was asked of her the other
day.
"About $50 a week," said she. "That
Is a dollar a week. This is a low esti
mate. If the woman is very fashion
able and if it is her desire to keep
right at the height of style it costs
more, say $5 a week, sometimes $10.
"The idea Is to perfume your gowns,
your wardrobes, your house and all
your possessions. There must be a
lasting fragrance which is easily de
tected and which never wears off.
"The trouble with the amateur Is that
she uses perfumes too heavily. She
douses herself with scent one day and
forgets to put any on the next day.
The result is that she Is always either
too lightly or too heavily scented.
"Perfumes are like wine. The longer
you keep them the better they are.
Perfume, freshly added to the cos
tume, 5s nn abomination. Put on as it
should be put on it is a delight."
It is reported here that former Sen
ator S. W. Dorsey, now a resident of
Los Angeles, is coming back to New
York. All his troubles growing out of
the Liquid Air company have been
amicably adjusted. Whether he and his
associates have followed the admira
ble example of Charles M. Schwab Is
not known. There was a time when
"Steve" Dorsey, aa he was popularly
called, was the Idol of his party. Few
men now living will forget the dinner
eriven to him at Delmonico's In the
February that followed Garfleld's elec
tion. The proudest nnd most honora
ble men In New York were there. He
was the guest of honor and Gen. Grant
sat by his side. Cfen. Arthur, vice
president-elect, was there. John Jacob
Astor, father of "Wally," sat beside
Dorsey. Among the "also present"
were Beecher, Boutwell, Windom, Fre
llnghuysen. Hamilton Fish, Noah
Davis, E. W. Stoughton, Levl P. Mor
ton, Senator Platt. Hugh Hastings,
Der>p.w, Governor Hovt, Georee Bliss,
J. Pierpnnt Morean, Judge Dillon, Jay
Gould, Frank Work, Horace Porter
nnd Gen. Woodford. In all the speeches
Mr. Dorsey was eulogized as the exem
plar of "practical politics." George H.
Routwell of Massachusetts was par
ticularly fulsome in his praise. It was
not until July of the next year that
S. W. Dorsey explained In his own
signed testimony the methods he used
in carrying Indiana. Here are his own
words:
"Each one of these men, nearly 5000
in number, reported what they could
do and how much it would take to in
fluence people to a change of thought.
We paid $20 to some and as high as
$75 to others, but we took care that
the three men from every township
should know Just what each got. There
was no chance for 'nigging.' There;
that's all there was in carrying Indi
ana In October!"
The secret of health 'and beauty does
not seem to be a great secret after all.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who has been
called a great beauty on both sides of
the Atlantic, was in New York today
and Bhe revealed her "secret." This is
the way Mrs. Astor herself told of the
simple plan she has adopted to pre
serve her freshness and beauty:
"I live simply, take adequate exer
cise, eat rationally, act with delibera
tion and get plenty of rest."
A month ago Lillian Russell gave the
same prescription; Mrs. Leslie Carter
has been giving it for three or four
years; Pattl and Bernhardt have been
handing It out for twenty years and
every sensible woman over 30 knows
it by heart.
Down in Little Syria there ia a lit
tle Jewelry shop kept by a dark-eyed
dark-skinned Syrian. Here you will
find candlesticks, daggers, bejeweled
vinaigrettes, bracelets, watch fobs,
bon-bonnleres— everything that you can
think of that you have ever seen In this
line In a curio shop. There are some
very exquisitely enameled mirrors and
trays; these are the pride of the Syrian
workman. It Is here that the collector
from an uptown store finds his jewelry.
These articles that sell at fabulous
prices on the avenue, or even on Broad
way, are trinkets of small expense. If
you know a good Syrian you may pur
chase them for a very small sum, yet
if they were displayed on the counters
at this price you would not deign' to
look at them.
It is announced that no liquors will
be sold In the new Hotel Gotham, at
the southwest corner of Fifth avenue
and Fifty-fifth street, recently opened
to receive patrons. Rumor had It
that the management of the new hotel,
In order to circumvent the law which
makes it unlawful to sell liquor within
200 feet of a church, had arranged to
establish a wine cellar and bar In an
adjoining building, communicated with
by means of a subterranean passage.
This, however, is now denied by tha
management.
It was nnnounced that no attempt
whatever would be made to purvey
wines or liquors to patrons, but that
those who desired wines with their
meals might have them through pur
chase near by. In other words, the
diner desiring a bottle of champagne
will have only to order, when it will
be got outside the 200-foot limit and
placed before him.

Schususs, a young Russian, supposed
to be Count Constantln Stranzinskl, is
studying railroading In this country.
He is not taking a roursa in any col
lege or technical school, but is at work
on tho New York Central railroad,
learning the business from the bottom
up. He Is saitl to be a son of the presi
dent of the Trans-Siberian railroad of
Russia, and his purpose is to aid his
father in Introducing American meth
ods in his native country.
Count Constantin has been in this
country about six weeks. He selected
the New York Central as a good road
to study, and after presenting letters
to the officials at the Grand Central
station was given an opportunity to
look into the methods of the various ex
ecutive departments. He has stated
that he intends studying all branches
of railroading in this country. The
count in very unassuming In his man
ner. He wears clothing purchased
ready made and of about the quality
a railroad brakeman would wear. He
is about five feet seven inches in
height and weighs 160 pounds.
The first thing that catches the eye of
the visitor to the office of William
Travers Jerome In the Criminal Courts
building Is a plain cardboard sign. It
says: "Open Game." The sign Is a
souvenir of one of the district attor
ney's raids on gambling houses. The
little piece of cardboard was posted for
a number of years over a poker table
in a well known gambling house, and It
informed the patrons of the house that
he who had the price to buy a "stack'
could sit in if there was a vacant seat.
If the sign meant anything in the
gambling house it means as much and
more In the district attorney's office, as
conducted by Jerome. Anyone can sit
in, and anyone will get a play from the
boss dealer of criminal law in the
county.
How many people know what the flag
of Columbia university looks like?
Those who are curious to find out may
do so almost any afternoon by visiting
Momlngslde Heights. As it floats from
the tall staff in front of the university
library the flag Is not only pretty to
look upon but of Interest because of its
historic associations, for It consists
solely of a royal crown of England out
lined in white on a background of pale
g reen _ w hat a woman would call Nile
green If It were a piece of dress goods.
Columbia Is apparently proud of its
royal charter from George 11.
One of the queer Institutions of the
postoffice building Is the federal cat
brigade. This numbers about fifty ex
tra good ratters of all ages, sizes and
colors, which roam night and day the
large sub-cellars where the federal mail
sacks are deposited. The upkeep of the
brigade is provided for in a special an
nual appropriation by congreßS. They
kill thousands of rats every year. Raw
meat is fed to" them every morning-
Just enough to keep them in capital
fighting temper and yet leave an ap
petite. - GOTHAMITE.

RAIDS RESORT
OF GAMBLERS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY LEADS
OFFICERS
Ten Persons Are Arrested and Para
phernalla Is Confiscated ts Be
Used In Evidence at
the Trial
Deputy District Attorney Fleming
led a raid early yesterday morning on
a resort on the Mission road one block
beyond the car line, near Eastlake
park, in which ten Los Angeles men
were arrested, thousands of poker
chips, dozens of decks of cards and a
quantity of-llquor were secured by the
raiders. ■ ■
According to the deputies and arrest-
Ing officers, the game was conducted
to rob players brought in by "cappers."
Red wine and whisky were used, assert
the officers, to befog the brains of the
players and then cheat them out of
their money.
Those arrested were Chria Tllley, said
to be the proprietor; J. K. Dixon, C. W.
Dillon, A. M. Ferguson, C. E. Johnson,
George Schultz, Jack Wilson of 1617
Paloma street, R. T. Minyard of 852
East Fifty-fourth street, W. Miller of
703 South Main street and G. Chavls.
For some time complaints have been
made to the district attorney, but he
was unable to gather sufficient evi
dence to warrant action until yester
day, when the raid was made. The of
ficers gathered about the house and
without a moment's warning swooped
down on the place at 3 o'clock and
captured the players and the parapher
nalia.
G. Chavls was winner in the gams
and the only man wh» did not protest
against arrest, because he is deaf and
dumb. Threats were made, but the of
ficers gave no head to them.
