Frederick Rose. sixty years old, com
mitted suicide at his wine house in Lin
coin Avenue northeast at 7:45 this

Ten minutes before Mrs. Rose had left

second floor.
The daughter was in the kitchen. Only

derclothing. lying in cramped position
in corner of the room. He had stood

above the right ear. Death was instan-

could harm himself.
On Saturday Rose seemed in better
health and spirits than for some time,
and made the first trip to town for some
months. II is supposed that it was on

DEFINHIVE PLANS FOR
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Structure Will Occupy Entire Site
and Be u Shaped.

Colonel Biddle. Engineer Commits
sioner, and Capt. Chester Harding, his
assistant, who is in charge OF the con-
struction of the proposed Municipal
Building. announced today that the
plans for the new District home had
been definitively decided upon. Hereto
fore all published plans have been ten
tative.
The final plans conform practically to
the desci :p:ton printed in The Times OF
July 81. Instead of solid facade, with
interior court, the building above the
second story will be indented in the
rear, or the d Street side, giving it the
form Of a double right angle. The en-
tire site will be occupied, flush with the
sidewalk, bounded by E, d, Thirteen
and-a-half and Fourteenth Streets north
west. The triangular parking between z
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue will be
destroyed and a sloping grade estab-
lished from the Avenue to the front of
the building, such as now exists in front
Of the postoffice building.

GAMBLERS IN PANAMA
OPPOSED TO THE CANAL
All Other Citizens Are Said
to Favor 1t.
SITUATION GROWS SERIOUS
Revolutionary Spirit Increasing, and 1t
Is Said Arms Are Secreted
N Mountains.
SITUATION GROWS SERIOUS

Revolution IS said TO be gaining
ground daily in Panama. Colon and Pan
ANA, the two towns at the ends o. the
proposed Panama canal route. are the
centers of unrest With each days de-
lay in the ratification of the canal
treaty by the Colombian congress the
conditions are SAID by dispatches from
the isthmus. to grow more unsettled.
Pro-American feeling is said TO be on
gendered in the isthmus by men who re
anxious to bring about the immediate
construction of the canal. The govern
ment has only about 1,500 soldiers in
Colon and Panama, and these are said
to be discontinued because of the failure
of the government TO pay them. The
trouble General Cobbs and a oanl
of soldiers made in Panama several
weeks ago because of their failure to
receive pay IS believed to be indicative
Of the attitude of all the regular mill
tary forces.
Tourists who have visited the Pacific
coast of Central America report an
alarming condition of affairs near the
Panama route. Arms and ammunition
are said to have been distributed TO rev.
olutionists from central points. The
isthmians have rebelled and the follow
ers of Gen. Benjamin Herrera are said to
be mobilizing in mountains preparatory
TO making a stand. 1t is reported that
General Herrera has left his home in
central Colombia and is on Lis way to
Panama to head another revolutionary
movement.
In Panama the sentiment of practically
all the population is said TO be in favor
Of an independent government. Gam
blers and lottery agents are said to be
practically the only supporters of the
present government. These men realize
that gambling will be thing OF history
on the canal strip If IL passed into the
hands of the United States.

RETURNS TO HIS WORK

Rear Admiral Walker, chairman OF the
commission on interoceanic canal, had a
long conference this afternoon with Sec
rotary Hay. After the conference Rear
Admiral Walker said that canal condi-
tions were so confused in Colombia that
il is impossible to foretell the outcome.

be accepted, and said the Colombian
congress may do something when the
opposition has exhausted itself

ASKED NO CONFERENCE,
SAYS SECRE TARY HAY
Publication in Afternoon
Paper UnfOunded.
NO CONGRESSMAN INVITED
II Consultation Were Desired President
Would Have to Take Initiative,
hot State Department.

Secretary Hay enters emphatic denial
or the story printed in an evening paper
yesterday afternoon TO the effect that
the Secretary of State has called con-
ference of leading Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives to consider the Nicaragua
Canal in case Colombia fails to ratiry
the Panama Canal treaty before Sep
TENDER %.
The Secretary of State not only denies
that such conference has been called.
but says no such action is under con-
temptation. Even If such a meeting
were desired. it would not be called by
the Secretary of State. The President,
and not the Secretary of State, would
call such a conference.
Polite, But Positive.
Dispatches from Colombia attribute
the failure of the congress to ratify the
Panama Canal treaty TO the sharp com
munications from Secretary Hay and
Minister Beaupre. at Bogota. At the
State Department it is not denied that
there was no attempt to mince words in
the communications to the Colombian
congress.
1t was made clear by Secretary Hay
that the United States would not &C
cept the canal treaty if it were amend
ed. The United States Senate had indi-
Gated its attitude on this question. and
Secretary Hay took great care in laying
the exact situation before the Colon
bians. The frankness with which he did
this is supposed to have been the cause
of the alleged offense to the Colombian
lawmakers.
Beaupre Never Discourteous.
Minister Beaupre acted strictly in &C
cordance with instructions from the
State Department when he announced
the firm position of the United States.
At no time was he discourteous, but the
resolute tone OF HIS notes is presumed
TO have given basis for the Colombian
excuse that curt notes defeated he
measure.

A Delightful even,n1 Promised.

The entertainment to be given by the Orpheus Entertainers at Emerson School Hall, Monday evening Feb. l6th, promises to be one of rare ex- cellence. Miss Miriam Eskridge, the celebrated elocutionist, will appear in her daintiest and most pleasing and catchy character sketches. Miss Esk- ridge has achieved brilliant successes in the large cities of the east and mid- dle west and she comes to Flagstaff with long list of commentators.
 Miss Klock, acolorature soprano of rare voice and method, and Mrs. Mar garet Davis, piano soloist, will assist Miss Eskridge in the evenings enter- tainment. Both Miss Klock and Miss Davis have received splendid praise wherever the Entertainers have ap- peared, and the musical portion of the program will not, by any means, be the least attractive of the numbers.
 The gentlemen who have unselfishly arranged for the appearance of the Orpheus Entertainers are deserving of much credit for their enterprise and public spirit, for they are given to the people of Flagstaff an opportunity to enjoy an evening which must needs be full of both pleasure and profit.
