TANNER KILLED

 B. of lis Wife.

Helena, Mont. June 29.-Mrs. James Tanner, wife of the commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public, died this afternoon as the re- suit of an automobile accident. Gen eral and Mrs. Tanner arrived here this morning, the general being on visit oe inspection to the Montana depart ment of the Grand Army

TROUBLE LOOKED FOR
 IN MORENCI DISTRICT
The Authorities on the Alert to
 Meet 1t.

According to reports brought to Phoe- nix by commercial men and others who have recently visited Clifton and Mo renci mining district a strike of large proportions is anticipated by the min ing companies operating there, or the first of the month. In Morenci the signs of trouble are particularly appar- ent. the Mexican laborers and miners of the camp having been holding secret meetings for some time past and conducting themselves in a sullen man aer which fOretells trouble Then too, they have all of them kept their accounts very closely traded up at the company store so that when the first of the month tomorrow arrives there will be but small amounts to the credit of any of them.
 Trouble is feared only with the Mex jeans, the Americans in the camp hay ing expressed themselves as well sat istied with the treatment they are re- ceiving at the hands of the company. It is thought that the trouble is being melted by Western Federation agita- tors who had been unsuccessful in their efforts at Bisbee and at Cananea. About four hundred Mexican miners are in the employ of the Detroit Cop
 
 more in the mines of the Arizona Cop per company at Clifton and the prop critics at Coronado and MetcaIf
 Several days ago an eight-hour day was granted the miners of the section where the trouble is feared with a re- ductiOn in wages of 9 cents per day from the twelve hours which had for merly been in vogue. Since this date secret meetings of the miners have been held several nights every week. The situation is very similar to the one preceding the trouble in that camp .hree years ago when it was necessary to call out the territorial militia. At any rate it is known that the Rangers have been advised of the situation and that Captain Rynning is now at Mo renci with number of his men. Sher- i9 Parks of Graham county. who was in Phoenix several days ago. is au- thority for the statement that the most serious trouble was anticipated on the first of the month.
 With the reports received from Cliff ton and MOrenci word also comes from Globe that trouble in that camp will likely result at any time following a | clash between the cOlored miners and l he Slavonians.

He Explains Why He Thinks Arizona Will to

He Believes that the Mexicans Will Support It From Choice and the MOrmons, the Gambling and the Liquor Elements Out of Fear.

Washington D. C.. June 29.-(Spec- ial.)-The Washington Post today has the following editorial: "A federal of flee holder in New Mexico who is probably an aspirant for higher things. was interviewed recently upon his de- parture from the White House where he had discussed with the president, the prospects of statehood. This in terview reads: There are a number of powerful influences at work to bring Arizona around said Major Llewellyn. Tn the first place, there are the Span ish speaking people in Arizona who are for the idea to a man; then there are the Mormons, who are every last one of them for statehood, and the gam blers who are afraid if Arizona con- tinues to be territory congress will pass some sort of an anti-gamblIng law To these might be added the beer and liquor interests that are apprehen- sive of prohibition being showed down their threats.
 "So on the word of a prominent and reputable advocate of joint statehood. the only friends of the project in Arizo- ma are the Spanish speaking people an insignificant proportion of the population, the Mormons. who number only a few hundred at most and the

NOT GUILTY
 SAYS THAW
The Plea May Be Later
 Withdrawn
Startling Disclosures Coming From the Underworld Where Architect White Spent His Life.

New York, June 29.-"Not guilty" was the plea personally made by Harry K. Thaw when arraigned today on the charge of having murdered Stanford White, before Justice Cowfng in the supreme court So prompt was the prisoners response to the usual ques- tion by the court celrk that his coun- sel. who expected to reply for him, were for moment startled. Then they immediately interpOsed an amendment of the plea, asking permission of the court to withdraw it at any time up to next Tuesday. This permission was granted. and the prisoner was led away from the bar and taken back to his cell in the Tombs
 While the defense is willing and ap- parently anxious that the trial should begin at the earliest possible moment, there is hardly any probability that it can take place before October.
 One of the most interesting deveI- opments today was the statement.pub- lished in an afternoon paper that White, instead of being. as was gen erally supposed a rha8sof great wealth. in fact owed S300.0O0 to one young member of a prominent family. as much more to other persons, and had so greatly oVerdrawn his personal ac- count with the firm of architects or which he was a member, that he was notified that he could draw no more. and must be content with certain fix ed weekly allowance.
 The investigation by Thaw's counsel into the career of Stanford White and the John Doe proceedings instituted by the district attorneys office and de- signed to probe every possible avenue that may throw any fight on the mo- tive of the tragedy promise to result in some startling. disclosures of the so- called Bohemian under world of the metropolis.
 Scores of detectives are now deIving in this underworld in behalf of tho prosecution and defense. and fresh dis coVeries bearing more or less directly on the tragedy are almost of hourly occurrence.
 While waiting for court to open. Thaw talked freely with newspaper men, but refused to discuss the case He appeared in good physical condition and after the plea was taken back to the Tombs.
 He was remarkably cool during his visit to the court room. He sat for q time on the Bridge of Signs" awaiting his turn, a negro charged with larceny being just ahead of him.
 At the close of the court proceedings Assistant District Attorney Mott was approached by a friend who asked. What is there in this case?"
 Tt is simply a question" responded MT Nott, "as to whether New York has got down to the level of d mining camp, or whether a man has got some chance for his life here"
 The attorneys for the defense have decided that they will base their case on emotional insanity, and go far into hlte's past life, and endeavor to show that he sought Mrs. Thaw after her marriage.

ALL THAT SAVED IT.
The Meat Inspection Provisions Rela
 ton to an Appropriation Bill.

Washington, June 29-The senate devoted most of it's time today to the consideration of conference reports including the reports on the railroad rate bill the pure food bill and the meat inspection provision of the agri- cultural bill. All were adopted during the day session.
 The house had amended the proposi- tion of the senate, making the rate bill effective sixty days from June 29. 1906 As the rate bill passed, it becomes ef- fective sixty days after approval by the president.
 The principal controversy over the rate bill was when Senators Bailey and Tillman had a heated colloquy the more notable because of the warm friendship existing between the two senators.
 The controversy was on the subject or railroad lawyers and MT. Bailey ex- pressed strong disapproval of the South Carolina senator's views on that sub ject.
 There was also much discussion of the meat inspection provision. A num- Der of senators expressed themselves as willing only to accept the house provision because it was attached to an appropriation bill and a deadlock would cause the failure of the supply bill.
