 Without an investigation first hay ing been made by the police, and with all the evidence in his favor, a man by the name of dickson, em- ployed by the Tucson Transfer com pany. was last night placed in jail on charge of attempted abduction.
 Two years ago. while living in Yuma dickson became acquainted with q girl them seventeen years Cf age, named Lala GalveZ. The two young people were of eongenial na- ture and became close friends. Hick- son about a year ago came to Tucson and three months ago Miss Galvez and her mother arrived here to make this their future home.
 The young people renewed their acquaintance and since their arrival here Hickson has been a frequent wis itor at the Galvez home on Kennedy street. Last evening he and Miss Galyez we're but wallcing md for some unaccountable reason the girls mother got the idea in her head that the couple intended to RIope. She telephoned the office of the chief of police and Officer Mills responded. Shortly after the officer reached the GaIvez home, dickson and the girl returned from their walk. HicksOn was placed in jail.
 Mrs. Gayez was notified to appear in court this morning at 9 o'cock but faied to show up, consequently dickson, after spending the night in but failed to show up, consequently drunken men was released.
 That Miss Galvez is of age, none of the parties concerned denied. and the reason of Hickson's arrest re mains a mystery.

THE ARslTER
 CT STATEHOOD.

Republican organs which are say ing that the president has power of veto over statehood Tor Oklahoma have read carelessly the provisions of the enabling act with respect to the presidents functions in the matter
 The act says nothing about a power of veto and contains not word which can be construed into making him the final arbiter. It simply makes it his duty to proclaim that the new state has. by congress, been admitted 10 the unIon IT the state constitution. approved by a majority of the voters, |; found to conform to the conditions sf the enabling act
 the president should withhold hih proclamation the right to rass upon the constitution would revert to con gress, which will meet in regular ses- sion about the time the presidents proclamation should be due. If he should refuse to proclaim statehood, the question will be one of the first to occupy the attention of congress and will be disturbing factor in 1t ali through the long session. The pretense that the seven cleo toraI votes of the new state will not be considered by the president or congress in deciding the statehood question is hollow and hypocritical. A presidential election is always counted as close, at least until after the platforms are adopted and the candidates nominated. The republi- cans have by no means sure thing of next years contest. On the con tFary. the democrats have an excel lent chance to win and are going to make the most Of #.
 Neither the president nor the re- publican congress wants the seven electoral votes Of Oklahoma counted in the next presidential election. Their decision is likely to turn upon the question whether the exclusion of Oklahoma would cost taem more votes than would offset the exclusion of these seven.
 If Oklahoma Is shut out now the democrats in the coming session of congress VIII certainly insist, in seas lon and out of season. that the country know the reason why.

We do not believe the republicans of Arizona will agree that the terri. tory shall remain silent on the ques- tion of statehood. Arizona is entitled to admission as a state according to all precedent in state making from 177e down to the present. Why should Arizona cease demanding her right to self-government? The democrats are for statehood now as they have been for twenty years and statehood will be the issue next year and the repub- lican pap suckers cannot smother it.
