ance policy for the use of all fire in

GOVERNOR K|BBEY
DENIES RUMORS
"chlef Executive Favors Joint State
hood, but Is Willing for Federal
Officers to Stand by Their
Convictions"
BY Associated Press.


PHOENIX, Ariz., June Ex-Governor
Kibbey returned today from Washing
ton where he was summoned in con-
ference by President Roosevelt. Many
stories were given currency to the eff
feet that the president had demanded
of him that he change his attitude of
opposition to jointure movement, and
that similar demands were or would he
made of other federal officers here.
Concerning his conference with the
president, Governor Kibbey today gave
out this statement:
u had a full and frank talk with
the president relative to Arizona af-
fairs, including the question of joint
statehood. In view of what l am told
concerning newspapers reports 1 wish
to state emphatically that the presl-
dent did not call me to Wa ashignton
for the purpose of disciplining me on
the statehood question.
"On the contrary, he did not even
suggest that L should change my posi-
tion on that question. He takes an
altogether broad and generous view of
the situation.
Favors Joint Statehood
WHllt ne HAS D6tH leu W DellcNe
joint statehood for the two territories
would be advisable, and he adheres to
that view, he is asking no federal Of
ficers to surrender his convictions"
In respect to the statehood question,
to be settled at the polls next Novem-
ber, rumor has been given circulation
that the Southern Pacific influence
would be cast for jointure instead of
against it as heretofore, the reason
being that under the administration of
Governor Kibbey, who is recognized as
the anti-jointure leader, the taxes of
the railroads in the territory have
materially raised.
The Southern Pacific is affected the
most, as many other lines are exempt
by law, and the Santa Fe main line is
taxed by congressional law.
decided expression to the contrary
was secured today from Epes Ran
dolph, a representative of the Southern
Pacific and other interests in Arizona.
He says: 'Am unconditionally OPP
posed to jointure and do not see how
any intelligent patriotic tax paying
citizen of Arizona can take any other
position"

WIFE TO TELL LIFE's HISTORY
Mrs. Thaw Declares Revelations Will
Open Eyes of New Workers
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 30.-"Mrs. .Thaw
will be the principal witness in her
husbands defense. She will tell a
thrilling and startling story. 1 cannot
make the details public now, but her
testimony will open the eyes of New
Workers and people all over the world" p"
This statement was made today by
Former Judge Olcott of counsel for
Harry K. Thaw.
Some interesting sidelights were
thrown on the Thaw-White tragedy by
a private detective, who declared that
he was employed by White as a body
guard for more than year before the
shooting.
In extracts from his diary the de-
tective says that White undoubtedly
feared for his life; that he took minute
precautions to guard against a sur
prise; that equally ingenious plans
were made by a corps of detectives em-
ployed by Thaw to keep track of
Whites movements, and that on the
day that White was shot he had de-
cided to apply to the authorities to
prevent the continuance of the espion-
age to which he had been subjected.
Body Guard Expensive
According to the detective White
paid over $4,000 between February IA,
1905, and the day of his death for the
protection of his person and for the
shadowing of the detectives who were
pursuing him.
The detective thus describes a meet
ing between White and himself, when
he told the architect that Thaw was
the employer of the detectives who
were annoying him. According to the
statement, White said:
This man Thaw is crazy. He imag-
ines that l have done him some wrong.
used to know his wife. I befriended
her and her family. Thaw is insanely
Jealous of his wife. He doubtless i'm
agines that l am meeting her, and be-
fore God l am not.
my friendship for the girl was taken
from a purely fatherly interest, and
since her marriage she has repaid my
kindness by annoying me greatly by
making remarks to mutual acquaint-
ances intended to arouse the jealousy
of her husband. | cannot understand
It, l never in my life injured man or
woman"
According to the diary on June %,
White said he had decided 1t was time
to close up the affair. White said he
was a nervous wreck, and that on the
following Tuesday he was going to
take final action in the courts. That
night he was shot.

Venice had a real raid last night and
the Midway was the scene.
That "blind pig" has been flourish
ing for some time in one of the busiest
spots in that busy beach city was made
manifest when Marshal Herzog and a
squad of officers burst into the estab-
lishment which was cloaked as a
Turkish. restaurant and. confiscated all
the beverages they could find
A wagon was required to carry off
the wet goods.
At 11:15 p. m., when the amusement
seeking crowds numbered thousands,
Herzog gave the signal to his men to
go forward and surround the enclosure
marked Turkish tea garden"
The men did their work we'll and
no one was allowed to leave till the
officers were satisfied that they knew
where all the bottled and case goods
were concealed.
Rush on Midway
With their approach there was rush
from the nearby concessions, some
from fear and others from curiosity,
and the Turkish theater was jammed
in jiffy.
When a wagon drove up and four
teen cases of drinks and three barrels
that looked as if they contained beer
We're lifted aboard, there was tumultu-
Gus cheering.
The woman VINO is said to conduct
