in open revolt to the Rodey scheme
of joint admission, and are expressing
themselves emphatically on the two
territories combining. The belief
prevails in New Mexico, like it does in
Arizona, that when the question comes
to a vote of the people the sentiment
will be overwhelmingly strong against
passing a constitution, and the matter
will accordingly lapse and admission
will be under these conditions defeat
ell.
The Santa Fe New Mexican, the re
cognized official organ of that territory
makes the following remarks on the
subject:
Should the joint statehood bill pass,
there will he a strenuous time in New
Mexico during the year of our Lord
1905. If row is to come, all right.
Again, in the words of the New Mexi
cans good and great friend, United
States Senator Tom Patterson, of
Colorado, LET us have troublen'
The joint statehood boomers, who
are few and far between in this terri
tory, are like frogs in the evening,
making great fuss and much ado, but
like the frogs, their noise will amount
to nothing. The results of the recent
elections in New Mexico and Arizona
are proof positive that nine tenths of
the citizens of the two territories are
absolutely opposed to joint statehood
under the present Hamilton joint state
hood bill.
Mr.. Rodey's interview of two weeks
ago, in which he attempted to tell the
people of the United States that sixty
five per cent of the voters of New
Mexico and Arizona favored joint state
hood, has also received attention, but
by no means favorable attention. 1t Is
universally denounced by the press of
the territory.

Commend TlethOd Shown.

A recent meeting of the Jesse Mine;
company was held at Cleveland, Ohio,
at which Hon. John S. Jones was pre-
sent to explain the progress of work tC
date. Since that time Mr.. Jones has
reached this city and yesterday re-
turned to his camp at Chaparral. Be-
fore leaving he stated that the affairs
of his company were in a satisfactory
condition, and in consequence opera
tions would be pushed. Machinery is
en- route and there is no doubt but
what this old time producer will be
under Roadway in a very short time,
and that it will be a successful propC
sition there is every reasonable belief.
The American Magazine of Mining
and Finance has the following to say
of this enterprise:
ga special meeting of the stock
holders of the Jesse Mines Co. was
held at The Hollenden' hotel, Cleve-
land, O., on the 18th. John S. Jones,
president and manger of the company,
who is east from the mines on a short
business trip, addressed the stockhold-
res and their friends explaining just
how the work is being pushed, the size
of veins and quality of ore found,
methods of treatment, workings of the
repaired mill and plans for the new
mill, etc. All present we're given an
opportunity TO ask as many questions
as desired.
eff more mining companies would
pursue similar methods of explaining
details to their stockholders there
would be less dissatisfaction and more
wise investors.

FRANK BURNS IS
IN THE RACE
He Makes the Announcement For
the Office of Chief of Police.

Frank Burns, the we'll known deputy
sheriff under Joe Roberts, yesterday
permitted his name TO be used for the
office of chief of police in the city
election and supported by a strong
petition of names, he formally an
nounces his candidacy for that office
in this mornings paper. Mr.. Burns
is in no way allied to any combination
of candidates, making the fight alone
aud independent of associations. The
only regular ticket in the field is that
of the Citizens.
The candidacy of Mr.. Burns should
be weighed with an interested regard
by all. He is capable and has so
proven himself to be such in a similar
position, gaining the regard of all in
official circles as an excellent deputy
sheriff. In addition to this fact many
people have requested him to
run, believing that the time has come
for a change in that office, and they
openly say so. There is no doubt but
what if elected he will handle that i'm
portant Office in a creditable manner.

saying, and while his opponent has

The former show girl, expecting an
acquittal at the hands of the jury,
which had listened to evidence at her
trial for the murder of Caesar. Young,
last June, went into the court room
at noon to learn that the twelve men
chosen to decide as to her innocence
or guilt had been unable to reach an
agreement. IN fact they had divided
evenly over the question as to whether
or not she held the revolver which
ended Young's life. The jury stood
six to six, half for aGquittsI and halt
for a conviction. Although there was
no official announcement further than
this. the court house talk bad it that
of the six deciding against Miss Pat
terson, none was for conviction for
murder in the first degree. That one
held out for murder in the second de
gree, two for manslaughter in the first
degree and three for manslaughter in
the second degree. Immediately after
the verdict was announced Miss Pat
terson broke into a fit of weeping,
which continued even after she was
led from the court room to the retiT-
ing chamber, where a physician was
called and restoratives were admins
tered. Then she was taken to the
Tombs, but she again wept and became
hysterical and all efforts of her father

demonstrations in the court room
after the announcement of the dis

many pressing forward to express sym

crowd which was outside the court
room all morning pursued Foreman

chased the car until Harmer went to

police were called upon to disperse the
throng. Public feeling is universally

A representative body Of Pacific avenue
business men yesterday evening decided by
vote of almost two to one that the
Denny Clay company's vitrihed brick
should be the material used for paving
the avenue.
The conclusion to use brick was reached
after an open discussion lasting over two
hours in which the merits of asphalt,
brick and fir blocks were set forth. To
bring the proposition properly before the
meeting, Joshua Peirce presented mo.
ton to the effect that the commissioner
of public works be instructed to let the
contract for brick pavement.
The asphalt men took the floor first
but they had only a slim show from the
start The fact that the specifications
or bids did not state definitely the kind
and quality OF asphalt TO be used, and
that there was no one here on whom
they could depend to pass upon the quail
ity of that material, together with The
uncertainty OF the guarantee for repairs
soon put asphalt out OF the race. That
left the matter between the brick and fiji
blocks.
The principal advocates Of the bricl
pavement were Joshua teltce ana "A. y
Albertson, cashier of the National Bank
Of Commerce, while Henry Mohr and s. r
Balkwil championed the cause Of fiji
blocks, although a number Of others tool
part in the informal discussion.
II am for fir blocks" said Henry Mohr
"because they are home production. Ev
cry dollar that we spend for fir block
pavement stays in Tacoma and Pierce
county. The timber is here, the mills are
here, and we need the money. Even il
they don't last as long, fir blocks are just
as good as anything else while they dS
last, and they are cheaper. am for fiji
blocks"
Mr.. Mohr then added that there was
in Pierce county bed Of brick clay that
was the equal of anything of the kind
in the Northwest. He said that by the
time the new fir blocks were worn out
somebody would be making brick in Pierce
county and they could be used and would
be home product. but for this time" F."

Will PAVE PACIFIC AVENUE
WITH DENNY VITRIFIED BRICK

I he said, in conclusion, "let us pave the
principal street OF Tacoma with Tacoma
product
Mr.. perce followed and said IF IL
was only question of dollars and cents
at the present time, fir blocks would be
the cheapest, but that is not the only
question. We want good pavement
one that will last and inspire the stranger
with the fact that this is live town. In
three years a block pavement will look
like corduroy road. 1t will be unsafe
and unhealthy and Tacoma will suffer by
comparing the principal street with streets
in other cities.
Mr.. Peirce continued with a comparison
of the three materials under discussion
and pointed out the fact that, while as
phalt made beautiful pavement and was
gaining in favor in the East, and was
recommended beyond everything else, the
people of Tacoma could not adopt it with
the degree of certainty that they could
the brick. He spoke Of the matter Of
spending the money for home product.
The next best thing to spending the money
in Tacoma, he said, was to spend it in
the state of Washington He then pre-
sented figures to show that the adoption
Of the brick pavement would put into cir
cuntion in the city a sum only $500 less
than il the fir blocks were used.
BY this time the sentiment seemed to
be evenly divided between fir blocks and
brick, but statement by A. +. Albert
son had much to do with swinging some
of the fatering fir block men to the brick
forces. His statement was that the city
of Memphis was taking up l25 miles of
wood pavement for sanitary reasons alone.
S. II. Bal<wil said he deplored the
shortsighiedness of turning down
home industry He urged the advo-
Gates Of brick and asphalt not to drive ans
other nail in TO the coffin Of the lumber
industry by sending money out Of town
for bricks when fir blocks could be pur-
chased here and were equally as good.
Several Others took part in the discus-
sion, emphasizing the points brought out
by the other speakers.
When the vote was being taken fir
blocks and brick seemed to be receiving
an equal number Of votes until Henry
Longstreth who represented 40 lots, voted
for brick, and the result was. Brick, "a;
fir blocks, 50 A motion was then passed
making brick the unanimous choice Of the
meeting,

THE STRIKE CONTINUES

McCabe & Hamilton are loading the
steamship Lyra today with crew of nom
union men. They are paying 40 and so
cents an hour, the same wages demanded
by the union men.
o. f. Cosper, quartermaster's agent, says
there is a misunderstanding on the part of
the longshoremen when they say that he
cut the wages. That, Mr. Cosper says,
is matter for the government to decide,
and something that is out of his jurisdic-
tion entirely.
Several months ago" he said during
the absence of the quartermaster, whoever
was temporarily in charge gave McCabe 4
Hamilton permission to pay 40 cents an
hour Later when a change occurred in
the quartermaster's office, an order was re-
ceived for return to the former scale Of
80 cents. Since then, warehousemen have
sometimes been paid 40 cents an hour but
that was the case only when the men were
paid by the managers of the vessel"
Mr.. COsper expressed himself as being
willing to do anything he could to bring
the matter to an amcable settlement.

department arrived here today from Sc
attic. To Times reporter Captain Grant
said that Mr.. Cosper was not to blame for
the conditions here. The department. he
said, fould uphold him in all that he had

The work must be completed within 90
