JEROME MINE
 AND TAXES
Before House Committee
 OF Territories
Senator Clark Denies Sensational Re. ports Concerning the Wealth of the Property.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana. appeared before the house committee or territories today and made a statement concerning the tax assessment on the United Verde copper mine at Jerome, Arizona, which has been mentioned frequently in the Joint statehood hearings as one of the great mining properties alleged to be escaping just taxation under the pres ent territorial organization.
 Representative Hamilton, chairman of the committee, said there was no desire on the part of the committee to question a United States senator, but Representative Moon Of Tennesse, in- terjected: ''I would just as soon ques- ton a United States senator as any body else if he knows anything I want to know"
 Mr. Moon then explained that the charge had been made Of unjust and corrupt taxation of the United Verde property. and he asked Senator Clark to make a statement. Senator Clark explained that he was the chief owner of the mine in question and said he had always paid the full tax levied, ex- cept one time, when the tax was con- tested because it was thought to be unjust. He said he was not fully pre- pared to make a detailed statement but he thought his company was pay ing taxes on about S1,200, 900 assessed against the improvements and prop erty it owned. This represented zn as- sessment, he said, larger than some properties pay in Montana or in any other state in which he pays taxes.
 Senator Clark refuted newspaper statements that the mine was worth more than $1OO, 100000. He said these were mere guesses as to the amount or ore yet unblocked and were abso- lutely unreliable.
 ''I defy any one to estimate accu- rately the value of a mine" said Sen ator Clark. "The eye cannot reach be- yong the ground, and ore W hich seems to be in inexhaustible quantities may play out at any time.''
 Chairman Hamilton read newspaper clippings in which Senator Clark was quoted as saying he had rejected an offer of s25, 000,O00 for the United Verde mine. Senator Clark denied the quo- tation and7said he had never offered 10 sell the property and had never had an offer for 1t.

REFORMED OR
 DISCONTINUED
The Statistics Bureau Now Almost
 Useless.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Chas. fNallam Keep, assistant secretary of treasury, and chairman of the so-called Keep commission on department methods has submitted to the president, the commissions report of it's investiga- tiOn of the methods employed by the bureau of statistics of the department or agriculture in estimating crops and especially the cotton crop. The re. port says that in every instance ex- cept in the case of the cotton re ports in the last six years, the bu- reau of statistics estimates have been under estimated. The under estimat- ing has been especially great in the case of cereal crops and live stock. The conclusion of the commission is that the methods Of the bureau of statistics must be greatly improved or the ser vice discontinued.

PORTO RICAN COMPLAINT
 AGAINST GOVERNMENT I
The Natives are Overshadowed by
 American Officials.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Broad charges as to the indifference ofA merican of ficials in Porto Rico as to the wishes of Porto Ricans were made by Major Roberto Todd of San Juan in a hear ing today before the house committee on insular affairs on the proposed bill to reorganize the insular government
 Major Todd charged that the six American members of the executive council, who are also the heads of the departments of the insular gov ernment do not consult the five native members of the body and do not evel invite them to meetings of the coun- cil
 This body is both executive and leg islative in it's functions, and stands in the relation of q senate 10 the house of delegates of Porto Rico Under the present government organization the eleven members of this body are ap- pointed by the president of the United States and it is required that only five fthem shall be Porto Ricans. Con sequently the natives insist that their representation is wholly inadequate and they desire that they be granted q senate to be ei acted by the pople in stead of the council.
 In support of his charge that the na- tive council is ignored. Mayor Todd presented letters from Rosendo Natl nenzo Cintron, the present speaker of the house of delegates and former member of the council; J. Gomez Bri- oso and other forme;. members of the : council.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Wm. H. -Nn- drews, delegate to congress from New Mexico appeared before the house committee on territories today at It's hearing on joint statehood. He said although there is strong opposition in New Mexico to joint statehood, he be- lieved the proposition would carry if suhnitted 10 the people. New Mex ico would prefer single statehood. but woIld rather have joint statehood th;-n remain out of the union.
 A. J. Doran of Prescott, Arizona, argued against joint statehood. in an impassioned speech Eugene ON,Iil declared that the committee was act ing as judge. jury and prosecuting att tOrney in advocating the joint Ytate- hood bill and characterized as a crime the way the hearing was conducte.i.

CANS OLD STYLE
 RETURNED TO HIM
The Fight of His Life With Sullivan
 Last Night.

Woodward's Pavilion, San Francis co, Cal. Jan. 19.-Joe Cans, rejuve- mated, put up the fight of his life and knocked out Mike (Twin) Sullivan in the fifteenth round tonight. The issue of the fight was hardly in doubt from the first round.
 From the start to the finish. Cans was the aggressor and kept right on top of his man. Sullivan made several brave rallies, but ne could not hurt the eolored man, and finally in the fif- teenth round a series of lightning right hand blows to the jaw ended Sulli- vans aspirations and put Cans once more at the top of the fighting heap.
 The fight was fast and furious from the start Cans kept within striking distance of his man at all stages. Sul- liVan was clever and game, but could not keep the aggressive cOlored man away from him. Cans left eye closed early in the fight, and Sullivan kept playing for it, but at no time did he have the Baltimore boy in distress. In the eighth round it looked as if the fight was over. Cans put in two lefts to the heart and a fright to the jaw Sullivan went down, but was on his feet in a moment, and Cans after him, swinging left and right. Sullivan went down again, but came up fighting. He was groggy but game and cool.
 In the ninth Cans went at his man again, but he managed to last the round out. From this time on Cans forced the fighting fiercer than ever.

Washington, D. e., Jan. l9.--, Spe- cial)-The Arizona delegation VAS again today before the territories com mittee of the house.

 It is stated today that Chairman Hamilton will try to report his Dill Co the house the middle of next week. A prominent republican leader Of he house stated Co General Sampson to day that although he was in favor O. joint statehood Dill, he believed the in surgents would win.
 HUNT.
Arizona republican., 1906-01-20

In the eleventh he apparently played with Sullivan and did no great dam age. III the twelfth Sullivan braced up and sent some straight lefts to
 Cans face.
 In the thirteenth Sullivan was still strong and played for the colored boys eye. He landed a hard blow on the stomach that apparently hurt Cans. In the fourteenth Cans devoted all his attention to Sullivan's middls section and landed half a dozen hard rights. In the fifttenth came the fin ish. A right to the jaw staggered Sullivan, and quick as a flash Cans was after him with several more accu- rately placed blows. Finally a left swing struck sthe point and Sullivan went down and out with his head rest ing on the ropes.
 Cans impressed everybody by his splendid air of confidence and his az
 gressiveness. His boxing was pretty nigh perfect. Most of Sullivan's blows
 were blocked, and the way Cans used his righ5 with short swings to the jaw aud ripping punches to the stomach
 was a revelation. Sullivan showed q great amount of cleyerness and mucn gameness, but at no stage Of the game was a match for the Baltimore negro.
 Sullivan, although punished severely,
 did not lose his head. In many rounds
 he was in distress. but Cans, with all | his cleverness, was not able to land Q finishing punch. Sullivan's failure to . become rattIed under punishment was 1 one of the most remarkable features oi i the fight he put up. Cans was favor
 ite in the betting, with odds of 10 to ] ] in his favor at the ringSide.

PACKERS DENOUNCE
 THE GOVERNMENT
They Desire Commissioner Garfield
 as a Witness.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Attorneys Tor the packers arraigned the government sharply today for the policy they de- clared it had, through Commissioner of Corporations Garfield. pursued in the investigation of tEe charges against the packers.
 Attorney John s. Miller of this city, who made the opening statement for the packers, declared that Commis- sioner Garfield had declared in the presence Of witnesses that if he was allowed to obtain evidence from the books of the packers he would con- sider the evidence so gained to be the same as if it had been developed befor him in a formal hearing. He declared that he. would prove this by Commissioner Garfield himself if the commissioner would take the stand.
 MT. Miller contended that under a proper construction of the law, there could be TO doubt that the packers were entitled to immunity because of their action in turning over to the commissioner all the information which he sought. An adjournment was taken until Monday morning.
 Commissioner Garfield would make no comment or the remarks of Attor- ney Miller, declaring that he might be a witness in the case later on, and that it would not be proper for "him to discuss the case before he was called to the stand.
