SIOLYPIN HANDS IN
HIS RESIGNATION

st. Petersburg, June 8.-Premier
Stolypin has rendered his resignation
to the CAR. The long drawn out con.
fict between the douma and the min
istry has evidently been more than
the successor to Count Witte can
stand. His weakness and vascillation
have estranged practically all the
supporters he relied on when he under
took to reconcile the quasi-parliamen-
tary government with autocratic power
under the impracticable ''constitu-
tion" granted by the emperor, and it
has been apparent for some time
that the lower house of parliament has
been making steady inroads upon the
stand taken by the ministers. There
is no attempt in official quarters to
deny that, since the second douma
proved Enthusiastically hostile to the
bureaucracy, the only hope of preserv-
ing the face of the ministry was to
provoke the legislators to open hos
tility. This plan has signally failed
and the action of the premier is prac-
tically-an admission Of his inability
to carry out til wishes Of the emper-
or, either ~ antagonizing or plaza
ting the douma. In the one case-and
this was the plan Of the reactionaries
-he would have been able to demon
strate that the attempt to clothe the
people with political power was, to
say the least, untimely, and needs
must be given up. On the other
hand it was hoped that occasion would
be given to say the peace and safety
Of the nation depended upon the dis
solution of the doums. Having failed
in both respects, Premier Stolypin has
notified the emperor that he must
needs seek another servitor and the
people want to hear what the little
fater" will say.

dent was in conference Saturday with

Office, and Director Newall, Of the re-
clamation service, concerning the
public lands convention in Denver ten
DAYS hence. It will be attended by
those and other government officials,
including Secretary Wilson and For
ester Pinchot.
While no statement regarding the
days conference was announced, it is
understood that the administrative
officials will go to Denver prepared TO
explain and, if necessary, to defend
the course that has been pursued.
It will be contended that the plan
has been to preserve public lands for
the actual settler and to regulate the
forest reserves so as to conserve the
water supply and protect the timber.
The withdrawal of coal lands by exec
utive order year ago will be defended
as necessary for proper classification,
and it will be shown that much OF the
withdrawn land has been restored.
The principal attack is expected to be
made on the forest reserve policy, but
Mr.. Pinchot and others will be pre-
pared to contend that all has been
done in the public interest.
After leaving Denver the officials

CENTRAL AMERICANS NAY AS
sEmBLE AT MEXICO.
Diaz Approval Is Asked--Move-
ment for Federation of Five
Small Republics Takes Definite
Shape---Mexico Watches Qua.
temala Frontier.

Mexico City, June 1O.-Plans for
the federation of the fivo Central
American republics have at last taken
definite form. If the ideas Of those
most interested materialize, a congress
will be held in Mexico City, which
will be attended by over three hum
dred delegates. One Numbered and
fifty Of these will be Central Ameri-
cans now resident in this republic, and
the remainder will be regularly ap-
pointed delegates from each Of the five
republics. DR.. Francisco Reyes, ex-
minister to Mexico from Salvador. is
the leader of the movement. He will
shortly visit each of the Central Amer
lean republic to explain the situation.
One drawback is the lack Of official
character which the meeting may
have. To overcome this the leaders
hope that they can prevail upon Presi-
dent Diaz to call the meeting. While
Senior Diaz has emphatically an
nounced that Mexico does not enter
tain the idea of protectorate for the
settlement of Central American trou-
bles it is argued that the mere calling
of the proposed convention would in
no way nullify Mexico's previous dec
laration would give the assembly the
desired standing. The question Of
federation wcould then be settled by
the Central themselves
In this connection significant tele-
gram was received here last night.
1t says that Senior Gomez, who is the
confidential agent of President Zelaya,
of Nicaragua, will leave New Orleans
today for Mexico City, where he will
confer with President Diaz. The pro-
moters Of the congress believe that
much hinges on this conference. The
telegram says Fernando Sanchez, ex-
minister Of foreign relations Of Mica
ragua, who has been minister from
Nicaragua to Ecuador, Venezuela and
Salvador, will leave New Y ork for this
city as the accredited minister to
Mexico from Nicaragua.
DR.. Reyes will call meeting of res
ident Central Americans today. A
manifesto will be drafted setting forth
the proposed organization plans. The
manifesto will be adopted, and DR..
Reyes will be, delegated to push the
movement in Central America.

VISITORS WELCOMED
AT POULTRY SHOW
Opened to the Public Last Night.
Judging Now in Progress.

The poultry show of the Arizona
Poultry and Pet Stock association was
opened to the public last night most
auspiciously. There is a fine array o;
stock i'm the various departments and
the exhibition is worth visiting. even
by those not specially interested in the
raising of fowls. There was a good
attendance last night for the opening
night and the management feels quite
flattered as the result of it.
William Purdy of Los Angeles, who
is to judge the exhibits is here and is
now very busily engaged in his work.
He is scoring all birds and will judge
them in a way that will be of most
benefit to the breeders as web for the
purpose of deciding which birds shall
bear away the honors of the. exhibition.
The judging is therefore slow process
and may take all day today. However
that will in no way interfere with the
visitors who are not only welcomed
but urged to come.

" CUTICURA REMEDIES A
HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

Last wear, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent phvsi-
clan for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted TO the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment. and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks We had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
In July Ct this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
ilOurs his hands and arms were a mass
.f torturing sores. We used only the
futicura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
ResOlvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable

A DOUBLE MURDER
NEAR ROOSEVELT
Unknown Assailant Cut the Threats OF
Mother and Son In Broad Daylight

one Of the most fiendfsh crimes that
ever blotted the pages of Arizona's
history. was perpetrated at Roosevelt
yesterday forenoon about 11.3O o'clock,
when Mrs. Harvey Norris and her sew
en-year-old son. were murdered by
parties whose identi Y has not YET

bloody one as well. both victims hav-
ing their threats cut and suffering al
most instant death. One or more sus-
poets are in custody but as late as last
evening no convincing evidence had
been discovered against them.

p before the tragedy Mr.. Morris left the
ranch for the town of Roosevelt. He
/ had not been there but a few minutes
before n negro named VIM. Baldwin,

slight cash on his throat and some
other minor injuries. and announced
that Mrs. Morris and her son had been
killed by two MeXiCans who had as

story of the negro could be accepted

that he is the author of the crime and
that his wounds We're self inflicted as a
verification OF his story or a combat

Baldwin claims there were two of

officers and citizens. leading from the
place. that indicated the presence Of
Mexicans or other strangers. Never
theless nothing is being left undone in
following up the theory that Baldwin's
story may be true. and the surrounding
country is being secured for suspicious
characters. One report from Roosevelt
says a lone Mexican or two have been
taken into custody merely to hold them
until they can give a good account of
their recent whereabouts and it can be
veTefied.
This incident recalls another that
occurred n year ago last fall. in the
vicinity of Roosevelt. when two Mex
