 Mexico would have been wiped off the map. What a e-r-r-i-b-l-e c-a-l-a-m-i-t-y that would have been to Arizona. Foraker ought to be handed the delegation from Arizona, along with the colored delegations from the South. And he IS getting many of the latter, which goes to show that a "coon" has more gratitude than the gen. eral run of republicans in Arizona. As has been remarked in these columns ere now, a Foraker man will have about as much chance to hear himself heard in the next Ari- zona republican convention, as had a joint-statehood man in the last one.
 But, excuse the Aggression, this article was to present, if possible, an outline of the very mixed situa- tion, and 1t has wandered afar. Representatives of the conflicting interests have visited both Pima and Cochise counties. and upon their return to Phoenix reported that they had found everything to their liking in those two counties. It Is good to see how pleased are all hands. But some of the repub- licans there will not have 1t. They are not against Secretary Taft, but they are against an instructed dele gatlon. Among those that are named as holding that position are Cooper, who was the tail to the Mark Smith kite in the last elec- tion, Nets and Rebeil, who are declared by the Star to be the brightest and most shining lights in the Pima county Armament of republication; and Overlook and and Smith of Cochise, the great guns over there, are declared by the Bisbee Review (another Kelly democratic newspaper), to be opposed to an instructed dele gatioD. None of the emissaries of either side have been in Santa Cruz county. Probably they suppose it is useless. It is we'll known that the only men alive who are com petent now to speak for the repub- |icans of Santa Cruz county are Judge Hayes and Buttinski; and the judge has wandered off into in- ter-stellar space, whence he failed to return, while Buttinski has found more congenial occupation on the l water front in Guaymas.
 But why all this racket anyway? i Instructed or without instructions, before Arizona's name Is reached | n the roll call the Arizona delega- ion at Chicago will find that Theodore Roosevelt has been named llready as the nominee; and they will climb into the band wagon ever taking thought about

THE DEMAND IS
BIGGEST KNOWN
Important Meeting in Denver Today to Arrange for Dis
trbution Of Convention Tickets Officers
to be Elected
lBy Associated Press. ]

Denver, June 27.-Two important
meetings were on the program today
for the subcommittee on convention
arrangements for the democratic ma
tional committee.
One included the arrangements for
handling the crowds and the distribu-
tion of the convention tickets. The
latter matter promises to develop in
to a serious problem, as there is a
tremendous demand for admission
tickets. 1t seems as though every
party man in this and the adjoining g
states expects to attend all the ses-
sions and wishes tickets for himself
and his friends every time.
The chief matter slated for con-
sideration was the selection of the Of
ficers of the convention. Theodore
of Alabama, Fred P. Morris of Illi-
nois, Governor Folk of Missouri and
Judson p. Harmon of Cincinnati are
all being supported for temporary
chairman. Mr.. Clayton is strongly
favored and if not made the temper
airy presiding officer it seems possi-
BILE that he will be made permanent
chairman.
Such Johnson men as are on the
ground expressed themselves today as
greatly cheered by the reports they
are receiving from the east to the ef-
feet that Bryan will not be able to
control the votes from there.
The Bryan people on the oher hand
merely laughed and asserted that all
opposition to their man would not to-
tai more than 1875 votes.

the summonses by Sheriff Schrader
and his deputies. The other II men
are out of the county, and many of
them are clear out of the state.
The last man was served at about
noon today, and in view of the fact
that the men were scattered all over

BISHOP MATZ AND
OTHERS ACCUSED
Sensational Suit Filed by Nephew Of Dead Bishop Against
Noted Colorado Churchman Regarding
Large Estate

Alleging that Bishop Matz of the
diocese of Colorado and well known
in Grand Junction, and the Colorado
Catholic Loan & Trust Company have
converted and used the proceeds of
the estate of the late Bishop John p.
Machebeuf, held in trust by them,
Leo Machebeuf of France yesterday
filed a suit in the United States cir
cult court in Denver demanding an
accounting of the property, said to
be worth close to 100000.
The plaintiff is grandnephew of
the deceased bishop.
The court has ordered Bishop
Matz and the officials of the loan
company to appear in court. bring
the books of the concern and show
record of the property left by the
deceased.
1t is reported that some of the land
owned by the estate is located in
Mesa county.
The charge is made that Bishop
Machebeuf left land and an insur-
ance policy to his brother Augustus:
that the same was not turned over
to him in order to realize more on
the property or when times were bet
ter, and that in April, 1907. when
a demand was made for the property
it was refused.
The entire estate, which consisted
of thousands of acres of land in Ar
apahoe (now Denver county,, Jeffer-
son county and other parts of Colo
rado. was turned over in trust to
Bishop Matz, who. with Rev. John B.
Reverdy, Rev. John T. Quinn. Rev.
NJ. j. Carmody and Rev. William j.
Hewlett, organized the Catholic Loan
& Trust Association to handle the
property.
It is stated that considerable
portion of the property was finally
sold. the proceeds amounting to
S25O,000.
The complaint further alleges thas
the company is composed of priests
and officers of the Catholic religion,

The fire originated in the bakery

to the buildings occupied by Pre-
watt & Swindall, thence to the
building occupied by A. c. Clavel,

occupied by 7. w. Whitehurst S

by hard work the Peace River
Hotel building and DIR. Wright's

Hotel building suffered loss of
between $500 and 81, 900.
Messrs. Swindall & Prevatt lost
about So, 900 with 50, 900 insurance;
Mr. Clavel lost about $500 in
buildings and stock and saved
about 81 900 worth of goods, and
carried no insurance. Mr., Pittmap
carried about a $4,000 stock and
saved about half of it and had a
81 600 insurance. Mr.. l.. A.
TAYLOR, who owned the buildings
occupied by Pittman, the Ideal
Millinery Store, Norman and the
Parker restaurant, estimates his
loss at $4,000 with Sl,700 nsur-
ance. The Ideal Millinery store
and Parker saved most of their
goods, and Norman lost about
$3.50. The Peace River Hotel
building was OH fire and for a
time it looked as though it would
go, but heroic efforts saved it.
The loss TO this building is be-
tween $500 and 81 900.
