HARRY NEW IN wAsH~GUoN
Head of Republican Committee Talks With Senators Who Oppose lis
 Holding Chair.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Hilary S. New, chairman of the republican na- tionaI committee, spent several hours at the capitol today, interviewing sen atoTs and representatives. who are members of the committee from their resI cctive states, among them Sena- tors Scott and Hepburn, who have takenea position against News desig- nation as chairman by Cortelyou.
 They spoke very frankly to him, outlining their position, but assuring him there was no personal objection, their opposition to the procedure be- ing based upon principle. Hepburn expressed the opinion, after the inter view, that there would be no meeting of the committee to call into question Cortelyou's action, but thought the subject would be discussed at a future meeting of the committee with a view to arriving at proper course of ac- ton in case of the retirement of the chairman in the future.
 New left the capitol entirely satis- fled that the agitation for a meeting is practically at an end.

BAD WEATHER RETARps
 THE JEROME DISTRICT

Not in years has mining in the Je- rome district been carried on in the face of more difficulties than at the present time. Heavy rains and snow falls have all but made the mountain trails impossible of travel, and the car rying of supplies into the mountains has, been almost shut off. The mines that have been using wood for fuel are having the most trouble, some, notably the Black Hills, have had to resort to the use of coal in order to keep development work up. The coal was packed in from Jerome on bur ros. However, there are now indica- tions that there will be break in the bad weather, and as it only takes the Arizona sun few days to put the mountain trails back mo commission, the prospecting companies will un- doubtedly be doing business as usual within the next few days.

Soto Brothers of Wilcox Are
 Making Arrangements to Establish Branch Office In

DOUGLAS, Jan. 17--(Special.)- Mariana Soto, of the firm of Soto
 Brothers, Wilcox, was in Douglas to- day comforting with his son-In-law, F.
 F. Moreno, who recently moved here from Tombstone, concerning the es-
 tablishment of an exclusive shoe store in this city. The firm name of this business will be F. P Moreno & Company
 The new store VIII be located tn one of the rooms of the First National bank building, fronting on Tenth street, and as soon as the room is ready for occupancy the new shoe will be opened. It was the intention to open the store on March 1, but Mir. Soto stated this morning that he did not expect to get the room by that time
 Mir Soto has been in Wilicox for many years and the firm of Soto Brothers is we'll known throughout southern Arizona as one of the most prominent business firms of the ter ritory. It is not the intention of Mir. Soto to come to Douglas and the bust ness here will be in charge of Mir. Moreno, who was formerly in busi- ness at Tombstone.
 Mir. Soto returned hime this after noon. At the depot he stated thet Wilcox was now increasing the vol ume of commercial business transact ed over the amount during recent years. There are two reasons for this, one being the splendid conditions of the range which has increased she cattle business tributary to that pofnt, and the other is the increase in min ing activity in the Ariyaipa canyon and at Dos Cabezas.. The Grand Reef mine, in. the Ariyaipa. is now being pumped out so that the c. and A. peo- pie may make an examinatio nof it, as their representatives Aase become favorably impressed with the general in that section. The Cop per Creek Mining company is also do ing considerable work on their Ari- vaipa property. raa 5.

COMMITS MURDER IS
 RECEIVED IN CHURCH
She Was Exonered By Pleading SeIf-DefenSe In Protection
 of Her Character.

RUSHVILLE, Ind, Jan. 17.-Mrs. Anna BankeTt, who shot and killed Norman Cook in defense of her honor, as she alleged, some months ago, has been received with open arms by the Milroy Christian church.
 She was tried twice for murder, but h each instance the jury uIs- agreed. At the time of her incarcera- tion in the county jail the church turned her down" With her husband she owned much farm land. Nearly all they possessed was spent to save her from prison.
 Her case was dismissed from the docket New Years Day, and a con- mittee from the little church invited her to return. Last night, with her two boys and husband she attended church. With tears streaming down her cheeks she knelt at the altar as the pastor, Rev. J. K. Patterson, read aloud statement she had prepared.
 Mrs. Bankert declares" said the pastor, that she was justified in all she did. She bitterly regrets the ne cessity for her action, however. She desires her relations with the cuhrch to remain as they were before her deed, believing that her life in the future will lead all to think as she thinks"
 The church committee then adopted a resolution, declaring that ''inasmuch as the court, after two thorough trials, has failed to fasten a crime on Mrs. Bankert, the church does not think it ought to undertake an investigation of the matter. The church hereby asks her to continue her relations with the church and 10 manifest by an up right Christian life that she is as in nocent as she claims to be. If any are disposed to believe that she is guilty of the crime we desire to say that we cannot hope to settle that beyond doubt after the court twice has failed"

 Promoter Is Again Making !. Good In Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, CaIif., Jan. IT, h the case of Henry P. Barbour. the extensive real estate dealer. whose dis appearance last February created con- siderable stir in Los Angeles and vicin- ity. H. Nj. Barstow, his attorney. had the following to say about his affairs last evening:
 ~Henry P. Barbour was adjudged a purpose was to arrange affairs so that bankrupt September 19, 1906. The purpose was to arrange affairs so that his property would not be distributed to few, but to all of the creditors alike.
 sWith all that has been said and done, MT. Barbour went away last February and returned in September upon the advice of his best friends. having found out that certain of his agents had conspired against him and apparently in their own interests.
 "TDs Los Angeles Trust company, Mir. Barbour and myself went to work to recover the property for the benefit of the creditors. Mir. Barbour had paid an assessment of s14 per share on 200 shares of stock, which constituted
  stock probably will make out S1e,000 Sn favor of his estate.
 'Tn addition to this MT. Barbour has attended twenty sessions of the refer ees and has given all the help possible, and as a result. actions are now pend ing concerning the right of real prop erty heretofore held by him, and which, If the actions succeed, will enable the estate to pay all indebtedness in full. If there Is any deficiency it will be due to the squandering of money by those in his confidence.
 "The present good showing of the estate could not have been but for the incessant work of Mir. Barbour in bringing harmony out of chaos. He has always said that all just claims against him should be settled in full if his life was spared.
 @Now to make the case of MT. Bar bour more aggrayating, his former sec retary and manager, Murray Mitchell, as soon as he was away, did all in his power to keep him away. But Mitchell has left the city ard his whereabouts are not known"

PARTY LEADERS SEND WARNING TOOKLAHOMA Democrats Believe t Is a Mis-
 take to Recognize Race
 Question In Constitution.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. l7.-That th' ] president has warned the Oklahoml constitutional convention of an inten. ! to, to refuse to proclaim statehood in
 case anti-negro clauses are written
 into the constitution is regarded as 1 startling though not wholly surprising
 news in Washington.
 It is not surprising. because the
 president has privately expressed the
 opinion here that such provisions would not harmonize with the federal constitution. 0
 The Democrats of both house and recognize the race question in the con stitution, and they also have taken oc, casion to warn the convention against the step. fi&l a,nioaor rmSeThlou tsanCn,a issue
 Senator Tillman. of South Carolina. represents all that is ultra among Democrats as to race matters.
 It would be mistake for the Okla homa convention to attempt to draw race lines in the constitution" said Mr. Tillman tonight ''The only thing the delegates must look out for is to frame the constitution so that nohing in will proven accomplishing the same end by legislation after the state is admitted.
 Separate accommodations for the races in cars, depots and so forth, are matters of police regulation, which is left to the states under the federal constitution. Accordingly, nothing is to be gained by writing such proyi- sions into state constitution. Okla homa had better wait until she is state, and then she can tell Roosevelt to go to the devil.
 Nothing is to be gained, and some things are to be lost. Roosevelt right now Is looking around for a chance to square himself with the negroes on account of this Brownsville business. Of course he would seize on such an opportunity, were Oklahqepa to give 1t to him, and the state would be kept out of the Union indefinitely If the thing could not be accomplished ex- cept through the constitution, then would be nfavor of fighting it out with Roosevelt to finish
 Leader Williams, of the house Dem- ocrats, has written to Oklahoma pro- testing against such action by the constitution. It is known that Sen ators Culberson, Stone and Blackburn, of Kentucky, have done likewise,
