TO AMEND CONSTITUTION.
Ex-senator Turner Advocates Calling
of Convention.

of Convention.
Spokane, Wash, April ia con-
vention to amend the Constitution of
the United States, SO that many re-
forms and laws demanded by the peo-
pie may be carried out, is advocated
by Judge George Turner. formerly
United States senator, who has re-
Gently returned from Washington. A
provision for the calling of such con-
vention is made In an article of the
Constitution, although never In the
history of this country has 1t been ap-
piled.
Il am in favor of having conven-
ton to amend the Constitution called"
said Judge Turner. Il believe that
there Is an urgent need for such
convention. In my opinion II Is the
only way by which the necessary leg
islation can be passed to elect United
States senators by popular vote.
There ia an amendment needed to
the Constitution to enable an income
tax law Such convention would
make possible a uniform divorce law
and also the federal control OF life in
surance matters, as advocated by Pres
ident Roosevelt.
THE convention could go over the
entire Constitution"

by the arrival from Jefferson City OF

Washington Authorities Paying No At
tention to Matter.

Washington, Apris 17-The question
of the marital status of Maxim Gorky.
the Russian author and socialist who
arrived at the port of New York last
week, has not been officially brought
to the attention of the department of
commerce and labor, nor Is it known
here what steps, II any, are being
taken by the immigration commission
er at New York to ascertain the truth
of the assertion that Gorky has not
been divorced and that his real wife,
together with their children, is still In
Russia. 1t was stated at the bureau OF
immigration that the matter of course
would be investigated If complaint was
officially made that Gorky's companion
is other than his legal wife. The Off

selves about the case, feeling satisfied
that If 1t is one warranting official ac.
ton the immigration commissioner at

Kansas City, April IA special
from Springfield, Mo-, to the Star says:
Notwithstanding the presence of

jury has been called to indict the lead
ers of Saturday nights mob, that the
county prosecutor has promised to fs-
sue warrants and the best citizens
have decried the triple lynching the
streets are full of people who approve
the work of the mob, who curse all
negroes and advise that they be run
out of town. All danger of mob vio-
lence is not passed. Hundreds of men
boldly utter the threat that ii arrests
are made the people will rescue the
arrested men and drive the militia as
well as the negroes from the city.
Everywhere this threat is heard
This town is too small for negroes
and whites to live In. One or the
other must 60"
An incident showing the trend of
the feeling took place near the court
house, where hundreds of people were
gathered, walking aimlessly about. A
negro, leaning against the courthouse,
with the troops nearby, made the re-
mark in swagger manner:
"Give the colored men the guns and
we'll show you"
Several white men threatened to
close in upon the negro, when officers
hustled the man away to Jail. These
are the things feared by the conserva-
tive citizens. They know how trivial
dn incident may start riot.

This is the third time that he has been sent up to the asylum from this county, and at the present time is much more violent than at any of the previous trials. It is the opinion of the doctors that this time he will be held in the institution for quite a period before it will be safe to release him as his mania has begun to assume dangerous feature as he threatens to kill people and tries to burn up property.

MINER DROPPED DEAD.
Thos. Cannon Dies Suddenly at Con.
 steilation, in Yavapai County.

District Attorney H. D. Ross and Deputy Sheriff Merrittre returned yes terday from Constellation, where they went to look into the matter of the death of Thos. Cannon, aged 50 years, who was found dead at that point about D. m. last Saturday, says the Prescott Courier. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that death was due to natural causes. It seems that Gan non, who had been drinking, got into a wrangle with some men in front of the post office, and struck at one of the men with his hand. He then walk ed away and was seen to fall forward It was supposed that he had simply fallen over and gone to sleep where he fell. After he had been on the ground for awhile some one came along and discovered that the suppos- ed sleep was the sleep of death. Gan non was by occupation miner, and was native of Canada. He is said to have brother somewhere in South ern Arizona. The remains were bur jed at Constellation.
