 The members of the Anti-Joint Statehood League of Arizona were again before the committee. but they played a less important part in the hearing than Representative Hamilton CRepublican of Michigan) and Repre- sentative Lloyd Democrat of Missouri who had a tilt which threatened to end in bIOwS.
 MT. Hamilton was asking a ques- tion showing his leaning toward joint statehood when MT. Lloyd remarked that the change in the attitude of MT. Hamilton on statehood was most re- markable.
 MT. Hamilton denied emphatfcally that he had changed front and MT. Lloyd then said it was strange that the member from Michigan had not joined

MERE WRITER

POuItney BigeIOw an Un-
 satisfactory Witness
The Senate Committee on Inter oceanic Canals Threatens Him With Punishment for Contempt.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-POuItney Bige- low, magazine writer. whose arraign- ment of the administration and man agement of the isthmian canal affairs. in an article published in the Indepen- dent, which was denounced by Secre- tary of War Taft proved to be a con tumacious witness before the senate committee on inter-Oceanic canals to- day and involved the committee in a controversy which caused two active sessions and must be considered again tomorrow before action can be taken
 The recalcitrancy of the witness was shown as the result of a statement made by him that many engineers had declined to accept the appointment Of the government on account Of the phy-
 sicali condition of the isthmus The committee demanded the names of such engineers and MT BigeIOvv de- clined to give them. on the ground that
 to do so, would be to violate conf dence and subject these presOns 10 endorsements He intimated that the displeasure of the administration would be exhibited in such a manner that their "reputatiOns would be worth nothing after the official replies should
 be concluded"
 Two opportunities were given 10 AIr.

 there could be no doubt of the commit 1 tees powers to have dealt with him i summarily.
 l Senators Knox, Hopkins and Morgan favored a certification or his recall | citrancy to the vice president for sub | mission to United States Attorney

 said that Mr. Bigelow's usefulness as
 a witness was at an end. and urged ] and argued so vehemently against any | delay in the proceedings against Mir | Bigelow that Senators German and | Simmons declared that the purpose
 seemed to be to interfere with the i thorough investigation of canal affairs
 which was ordered by the senate ] When it was apparent that there
 could be no action today. a motion to l adjourn until tomorrow at II o'clock
 was carried. It was the understanding that the records of today's hearing
 should be printed and in the hands or the committee at tOpOrrOw's meeting. ! MT. BigelOw was commanded to hold
 himself ready to appear tomorrow if wanted.

PACKERS SPECIAL PLEA
 OF PROMISED IMMUNITY
The Beginning of the Trial on lndIct-
 ments for Conspiracy.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-The trial or the special pleas of J. Ogden Armour and other packers, and attorneys now un- der indictment for conspiracy to re- strain trade and commerc was open ed late today before Judge Humphrey in the United States district court. Among the defendants in court at the opening of the case were J. ogden Ar mour, Chas. w. Armour, T. J. Con- nors, Ira N. Morris, Edward Morris. Chas. F. Swift, Edward Swift, Edward Cudahy and A. H. Veder.
 The issue in the present case is the contention of the packers that the gov ernment could not prosecute them un- der indictments found because they
 are entitled to immunity under a sec tion of the law which grants freedom i from prosecution to any person who is compelled to produce incrimipating evidence against himself It is claimed i by the packers that they were com
 pelled by Commissioner of Corpora- tions Garfield to give such evidence, and that they were moreover, promis-
 ed immunity by him. The result of
 the hearing, which began today, will determine whether or not the govern
 ment has the right to proceed to trial under the indictments returned against
 the packers.
 Attorney John S. Miller for the pack 1 CTS made the opening statement. He | took up the Garfield report explain | ing it and detailing at length the issues l of fact which are involved in the case. | MT. Miller then launched into a iong
 discussion of the law governing inter- l state commerce. District Attorney
 Morrison raised the objection to a long | discussion of the law.
 ''I am inclined to permit the wiG- ! est latitude in this natter said Judge I Humphrey. MT. Miller then continued l his statement. but at the close of the 1 day he had not completed his a1gu- | ments and he will again have the floor
 at the opening of the court tomorrow | morning.

PEABODY FAMILY
 HAD DOSE OF POISON
COlOradO's Former Governor Threat
 ened With Steunenberg's Fate.

Denver. Colo Jan. 1S.-A News spe- cial from Canon City, Colo, says that former Governor Jas. H. Peabody, his wife and their daughter were poisoned by food eaten at breakfast this morn ing and that the daughter, Miss Cora Peabody, is in a dangerous condition as a result.
 Enough was gleaned from a friend of the family to show that there is a belief that an attempt was made to destroy the family by poison. An in timate friend of the Peabodys said that several letters had been received by the former governor within the past week or two calling his attention to the manner of the death of former Governor Steuenberg, of Idaho, and threatening him with a similar fate.

in 9 minority report against individ ual statehood when the house commits tee on territories at a former session of congress reported favorably on a measure to admit Arizona and New Mexico.
 MT. Hamilton explained that he was in Michigan attending a convention at the time the committee took action and consequently was in no way responsi- ble for it.
 Mir. Lloyd said he would accept the apology and the Michigan member angrily declared he made no apology and started from his chair. He sud- Genly regained his composure, how ever, and the hearing continued.
 Dwight B. Heard, of Arizona, was the first speaker. He read from the re- port of yesterdays hearing and said the Arizona delegation felt an explan- alton should be made by Representa- rlve Powers of his fntimation that the Arizonians were under corporation in fluence. MT. Powers denied that he had made any statement which could be regarded as making any such inti- mation.
 N O. Murphy, former governor of Arizona, made a heated speech de- nouncing the reports that railways and mining interests were using corrupt methods to defeat the joint statehood bill
 1T hereby denounce as false, libellous and slanderous any charge of corrup ton regardless of where il comes from" said MT. Murphy. "I feel that 1t is utterly futile for us to appear be- fore this committee and discuss our views on statehood. The verdict is signed and sealed against us. But I cannot refrain from denouncing this charge Of corruption against our party.

The Only Action Was to Lay 1t on the Table, Then Proceeding to Other Business.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-There was an echo of yesterdays stormy session in the senate today when MT. TiIlman presented his resolutions demanding a senatorial investigation into the re- moval of Mrs. Minor Morris from the White House. The resolution provok- ed no debate and Mir. Tillman content cd himself with a brief statement in which he said that he would not have introduced the resolution but for the taunt of Mir. Hale. When ne conclud- ed. MT.

STIFFNESS
 OF ENGLAND
Develops in the Confer
 enCe at AIgeCirdS
Threatens Interference With Priv ate Discussion Between France and Germany.

Algeciras. Spain, Jan. 1S.-The dele a private session lasting two hours today The session resulted practical ly in an agreement on the main lines of a plan for the repression of con. traband entering Morocco. It was feared that tkis question of contraband might lead to Franco German tension, as to who would carry out the repres sive measures proposed, but this sit uation happily appears to have been averted. The only divergence was d statement made by Moroccan dele gates that they could not permit the repression of or the hunting for arms without first referring the matter to the sultan.
 The delegates were in accord upon the need of all the powers, assisted by Morocco, passing laws penalizing the introduction of contraband. This followed q proposition submitted by Spain which was designed to recon cile the differences between France and Germany.
 A committee of five was appointed to study and report on a final projec: at the session to be held Saturday. To- days meeting has strengthened the
 
 results of the conference will be sat isfactory.
 One danger in the conference is con sidered to lie in the stiff attitude of Great Britain. France, it seems, Is disposed to discuss with Germany the basis of an agreement, but whether Great Britain will favor such an agree ment is not known. However, nearly every one thinks that the longer the preliminaries are kept up the less will be the danger and that time alone will aid in harmonizing various differences Active telegraphing is going on be- tween the ambassadors and their re- spective capitals. Something of a flutter was caused among diplomats today by the news that smallpox ex- ists here. Rear Admiral Sigsbee, who learned this fact from the authorities at Gibraltar. issued an order forbid ding any one belonging to his squad ron to go ashore at Algeciras.

 Prompter.
Washington.


 Washington, Jan. 1S.-(SpeciaD--
 The Arizona deIcgation made good showing before the house committee on territories today. but there is nor the shadow Of a hope tl4at it's able presentation Of ArizoHa's position will have the slightest effect on the com mittee. Al the outset the delegation made a courteous demand for an apol- Ogy from MT. Powers, of Maine, one @F the committeeman, who yesterday made a sneering remark about the AriZonfans. and he disclaimed any in- tention of refecting in any way on the actions or methods of the delegation after MT. Morrison had concluded his able statement of the certain effect of jointure upon the Americans in Ari- zOna as regards court procedure.
 Chairman Hamilton and others or the majority sought to befog the situation with questions which were remarkable for their display of ignor- ance of conditions in the territories. An aggravating feature of the hearing was the presence of ex-Delegate Ro- dey, of New Mexico. He occupied a seat at the left hand of the chairman and was frequently consulted by him.
 ft was refreshing to hear former Governor Murphy tell the committee Tn a ringing speech that he did not ex- pect justice for Arizona at it's hands. and to hear his denunciation of the author of the report that a corrupt lobby is working to defeat jointure.
 If any man." declared the governor, twill put that charge in writing, I will guarantee ,o put him in the penitenti- ary." While the committee was finally shamed into q semblance of fairness in its attitude toward the Arizona deIe- gaton. it's decision will not be altered The Arizonians will keep up their mis- siOnary work among the congressman and there is no doubt that it will be helpful to the cause.

An additional car reached the city yesterday ana ten more cars have been shipped from Chicago and should reach here by the first of the coming week The machin- cry which has already been received will be put in place the first of the coming week In appearance the ma chinery is massive and of very heavy build, and the fact that it weighs many tons is shown by the freight charges from the Mississippi valley point, which amounted to $3.00o.
 The brick work on the building is now up to the third story and each day the building takes on a more defi- mite appearance The factory is each day visited by numeSous parties. who are interested in the project and take pleasure in seeing it so rapidly near ing completion. The scene is a busy one, with the numerous mortar mixers. brick masons and hOdcarriers- and not far distant the brick yards and its some ten to twenty lsbOrers-
 Arrangements have just been closed whereby the Japanese-American In dustriaI corporation will furnish 70 the Eastern Sugar company 500 JspGnese laborers. G. Minejima, representing the laborers has been here from San Francisco for several weeks looking over the field and arranging for ths coming of his men It IS expected that they will arrive in Phoenix about the 18th of the coming month
 Their work will consist of thinning. noeing, and harvesting the beets- and at this work they are very proficient They are all of them who are 10 ar rive experienced, and the company by whom they are employed makes spe- cialty of doing hand work in beet fields, and the last year had over 1-59o Iaborers in the fields of Idaho In this valley they will make their hoIna near the fields in which they work The fact that the labor has been secured is a very important step by reason of the fact that large growers will now proceed with the planting Of their acreage and know in advance that they will not be handicapped m harvesting the same.
