MARSHAL BEN DANIELS
ARRESTED AND DISCHARGED

United States Marshal Ben F. Dan
iels was arrested last Friday at No
gales on complaint of Hans NJ Larson
on charge of fraud.
Larson alleges that Daniels and his
partner, A. M. McCord, of Kansas
City, Mo-, year ago sold him claim
for $500, located in the Harsaw district
Larson's story is that when he went to
do assessment work on the claim, James
Harrison, supervisor of Santa Cruz
county informed him that he had a
claim on the property. Larson says he
demanded the return of his money,
which was refused. In speaking of
his arrest, Mr.. Daniels said:
81 never saw or heard of Larson be-
fore | was arrested on complaint filed
by him. l gave my partner power of
attorney to deal with the property, and
had nothing to do with the transaction
at all. 1t Is so evidently put-up-job
by those who want to discredit me on
account of political enmity, that think
no one will be deceived by it."
Daniels was arraigned before a JUS
tice Of the peace in Nogales last Sat
urday and the case against him was
dismissed on demurrer.

EPES RANDOLPH BEHIND
GRAHAM IN TIGRE FIGHT
Situation Disclosed by Election Of On
GERS Of Ensenada Company
dolph President.

Tucson. Ariz., Feb. 17.-At met
ing oi:the directors of the Ensenada
Mining company, made famous by its
fight for the possession of the Ell Tigre
mines in Sonora, which was held here
today, B. F. Graham of Douglas re-
signed as president and general manager
of the company. Epes Randolph, the
railway magnate and banker and head
of the Southern Pacific interests in
Arizona and Mexico, was elected to
those offices.
James E. Suits of Douglas resigned
his office as vice-president of the com
pany and A. H. Mckay, the millionaire
oil magnate of Santa Barbara, Cal,
was elected in Mr.. Suits place. MIR.
Mckay has immense interests in Mex
leo and the City of Mexico, and he is
president of the American Club. He is
associated with Mr.. Randolph in num-
erous enterprises as well. Eugene 5.
Ives, prominent attorney of this city,
was elected a director of the company,
to succeed d. A. Richardson of Doug
las.
Commenting on the above the Doug
las Dispatch says:
"Of the many sensational develop
ments in the famous Tigre fight the
foregoing dispatch is probably the most
sensational in more ways than one.
Details of the fight have been pub
lished from time to time and there is
probably not a man, woman or child
in Douglas or the neighboring cities
who are not fully acquainted with the
many phases which have occurred in
the suit during the past eight months.
1t has been mystery to the public
since Graham first took possession of
the mine on that memorable July =,
1905. who the people were who put up
the coin then, and who have been put
ting it up ever since. There have been
various surmises and guesses but they
all seem to have been wr )ng, as no one
suspected that the powerful Southern
Pacific interests were behind the local
promoter. 1t is also intimated that
Epes Randolph is not alone in the fight,
as Col. VIC. Greene, the Cananea
copper magnate, is also in the back
ground.
The case is now before the state SUI
preme court at Hermosillo and from
there it will go to the City of Mexico
on an appeal"

THESE OFFICE HOLDERS

Ex-Governor Myron H. McCord, who
has just been appointed collector of
customs at Tucson, says that he is a
strong joint statehood advocate and
that only the railroad companies, the
mining corporations, the officials and
the office holders of Arizona are hostile
to the project. Right here it is well to
remark that what Ex-Governor McCord
does not know about office-holding is
not worth knowing. He served for
several terms as member of congress,
then went to Arizona as governor,
thereafter as U. S. marshal of the dis
trict, and is now at the flesh pots of
office again. He is the type OF some OF
the men who are for joint statehood in
this territory, la New Mexico's ex-
delegate, B. S. Rodey. The latter
also accuses the office-holders of being
against joint statehood and forgets that
he, himself, served as delegate from
New Mexico for four years, helped
greatly to the office by the very office
holders whom he now assails. The
New Mexican has no words of blame
for Ex-Governor McCord or ex-Delegate
Rodey for their pronounced joint state
hood views, not in the least, they are
entitled to their own opinions; this
paper, however, suggests to these gen.
tlemen that consistency in politics
ought to be something of jewel that
they should prize. Santa Fe New

THE PRESIDENT BACKING A WRONG


1t is not easy to understand why
President Roosevelt, who talks so glib
lily about the square deal, and justice,
and decency, and all that sort of thing,
should have committed himself to the
joint statehood bill that is before con-
gress, and made support of it test of
fidelity to the administration. The
measure is essentially vicious in char
acter. 1t proposes the joining of COM
munities that should not be joined and
are unlikely to live happily together.
Has it ever before been attempted to
yoke one territory with another against
the protestof the inhabitants of either?
This is now to be accomplished by force
if the president has his way. The pro-
position to allow the two territories OF
New Mexico and Arizona to vote indie
pendently on the question of uniSing
was not allowed to come to vote in
the house. 1t will be pressed in the
senate and it ought to be adopted
there. 1t is the fair American way,
and nothing else is fair. A forced
union is an oppression. The president
ought not to stand for it, for doing so
is rank inconsistency with his fire.
