To Permit Arizona to Elect Judaes

Washington, Jan. 3O.-In the house this afternoon Delegate Mark A. Smith of Arizona, introduced a bill which provides that in each of the judicial districts in Arizona, five in number, the residents will be granted the right to nominate their associate justices and district court office holders, they to be elected at regular elections.
 This is the first attempt made to get a, bill of this kind for Arizona. It is along the line of :'home rule" such as was granted Utah before it became a state.

Phoenix has been having quite an excitement the past week over 8 marriage license. It seems that one Murray McDaniel, who is said to belong in this county, got mar
 riage license from the probate court to marry Miss Esther Power, who recently figured in the Daggs case. At the time he got the license he presented forged letter from the girls mother giving her consent to the union, as the young lady is only 17 years old. The Phoenix Enter prise of Wednesday says: "The ob- ject of Murray McDaniel in secur- ing marriage license to marry Miss Esther Power without either her consent or that of her mother, IS still an unsolved mystery. It is not known where Mcdaniel is loca- ted at the present time, neither has he volunteered to give any reason for his peculiar action. Miss Power and her mother still maintain that the marriage license was secured without their knowledge or consent"

ACCORDING to the Jerome Mining News of last week there is again considerable talk of the proposed railroad north from Jerome to con- meet with the main line of the Santa Fe either at Flagstaff or Williams. The paper says: "Within the past four months Colonel Moore, the en- gineer who made the final survey for Senator Clark's Salt Lake line, has made survey from the south western terminus of the Arizona Lumber company's road down the mountains into the Verde valley. dropping down from the Mogollon mountains at point directly op- posite and east of Jerome. While it is we'll known fact that Senator Clark has expressed himself to en, gineers who have approached him on the proposition of a railroad from Jerome to the main line of the Santa Fe at or near Williams or Flagstaff, that if they succeeded in laying out feasible route he would consider the matter, up to the late survey by Colonel Moore engineers have been unable to do so, but it is now reported. from the most reliable source, that Colonel Moore has succeeded in laying out an ideal route, but as to whether or not the line will be built by the senator the News has been unable to get any information"
 While we do not wish to dispute the above statement. if we remem- Der rightly, a survey has also been made from the end of the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Co.'s track, over the rim to Jerome. There is no question but that it is just as easy to get off the rim south of Williams as south of Flagstaff. and the distance from this point is much less. The roadbed of the local lum- Der company extends south about twenty miles, and it is only about that much further to Jerome There is no question but that road to this point is the most feasible and can be constructed for much less money with a great saving of distance.

The Chaves Murder

Having confessed that he killed Col. J. Francisco Chavez in New Mexico on Nov. 2S, 1904, Frank Bell is now being held in the county jail in Prescott until New Mexico officials reach that city to take him in charge. Bell's confession clears one of the most mysterious mur- ders in the history of the southwest. On account of the wide popularity of Col. Chaves his assassination created much comment oyer New Mexico and Arizona.
 Regarding Frank Bell, now in the Yavapai county jail. the Albu- querque Citizen of Jan. 29 says that Bell is not known at Torrance or at other points where telegraphic in quiry has been made; that it is said his motive in confessing to the crime was to save friend of his who is in jail at Santa Fe under charge of the murder of Chaves. al though many believe that Bell is lying to gain some cheap notoriety.
 Prescott, Ariz., Jan. 31.-United States Deputy Marshal Fred For. noff returned home today, but with out Frank Bell. The latter made statement to the officers today that he is not the murderer of Col. Chaves and that he does not know who are the assassins. Bell does not deny that he made the confes- sion, but says he was drunk when he did so.

BY LAWRENCE s. WILLIAMS. Who came forth to grasp our hand With aspect of an honest man. And swore might should not de- spoil our land? Tawney. Who spoke with glowing phrase The very loudest in our praise, Saying Arizona did but amaze?
 Tawney. Who lifted up his voice And bade our sadden'd souls re- joice At the outcome of his choice?
 Tawney. Who gave a blacksmith's honest word That, no matter what occurred, Our petitions should be heard?
 Tawney. Who said he'd like to be One of this noble people. free? Now,- O fudge! O. geel
 Tawney- Who, when the "whip" began to crack, And honest men stood back to back, Was the coward first to ''f1y the track"?

SEPARATE STATEHOOD
Has Been Prevented by Injustice
 and Misrepresentation

Washington, Jan. 29.-I have just sent the following telegram to Max Frost at Santa Fe: Your let ter of the 25th at hand. I do not think it possible for the statehood bill to pass the senate without sat isfaction to Arizona. Should 1 be mistaken 1 must advise the repre-. sentative citizens of Arizona to de- cline to participate in a constitu- tional convention and the nomina- tion of state officers, which in my judgment is the only consistent policy for them to pursue.
 Arizona will never accept joint ure, and 1 am better satisfied than ever if New Mexico had not surren- dered to the influences of ambitious office seekers and if an unjust ad- ministration pressure had not been brought to bear through the mis- representations by Beveridge oi both territories, two years would not have passed before New Mexico would have been admitted, and probably Arizona. But Arizona is willing to wait. and at the same time help New Mexico obtain hel just dues" F. M. MURPHY.
 Washington, Jan. 29.-The re. port of the majority of the senate committee on territories was laid before the senate today recommend ing the passage of the Hamilton joint statehood bill. The bill was presented by Senator Beveridge. the chairman of the committee, who offered no suggestion in connection with the report. It was understood that he would immediately press it npon the attention of the senate but there was no indication today as to the time for action on the measure.
 Washington, Jan. 30.-The indi- cations today point strongly to the adoption of the Foraker amend ment, permitting Arizona and New Mexico to vote separately, by the senate. It is supported by more than enough votes today.
 Hon. w. B. Childers. president of the joint statehood league, yes terday received a telegram from former Delegate B. s. Rodey, who is in Washington, outlining briefly the status of the Hamilton bill in the senate. MT. Rodey considers that the chances for the passage of the bill by the senate are strong and he expects action in the imme- diate future.-Albuquerque Jour. nal, Feb. 1.
