Prescott, Ariz., Oct. 14.-President
Taft won a hearty welcome into Arizo-
ma yesterday, by proclaiming wherever
he went that he was heartily in favor
Of statehood for each of the territories
of Arizona and New Mexico.
When the joyousness that greeted
this statement had died away, Mr.. Taft
had some sober words for his audience,
in which he sought to impress upon
them the necessity for deliberation in
framing a state constitution.
He declared that their constitution
should follow the simplicity of the con
stitution of the United States and
should be merely fundamental laws
with simple rules of limitations. Mr..
Taft urged the people of Arizona to
profit by what he termed the mistakes
of Oklahoma in constitution-maling

ley, that they did not in fact reach the
summit and the nearest point to the
summit reached was at least If miles
distant from the summit and hat tn
mountain elevation at no time exceed

Says PhOtOS Were Spurious.
Barrill's affidavit also brings into
question a number of photographs
which Cook has given as representing
the summit and other high altitud IS
of Mount Mckinley, some of which he
declares were drawn from imagination
Gives Details.
The affidavit gives details of the
climb beginning Sept. ., 1896 Barrill
declares that Sept. i the elevation
did not exceed 5000 feet. but under
the direction of Cook, he alleges, the
figures were changed TO i2.OG1. ana
that by Cooks orders he stopped keep
ing a diary. They stopped the climb,
according TO Barrill, Sept 1G. and re
turned to their launch at the foot If
the glazier, which they reached the
10Th.
Changed the Diary.
Barrill says that under Cooks direc-
tiOn he made a number of changes
in the diary and wrote up the record
which had been suspended on the 18th. |
From the 18th of September to Nov. 9
the record was made by Barrill and |
he says contains actual facts Cook. |
he says, claimed the point reached |
Sept II was the top of the noun tain. |

These, peaks Barrill sketched in a |
diary, which he says he made himself |
He says that when he made this |
sketch he could see the top Of Mount |
Mckinley off to the northwest at least |
20 miles away.
Admitted the Deception.
The remainder of the affidavit is de- |
voted to details of trip down the noun

on the 18th of September they were |
not over 5000 feet high when the

REASON FOR THIS SLANG TERM.
Medical Men Say One Really sees
Blue When Painting.

The use of the word blue" to de-
note melancholy or terror, as In the
phrases to feel blue" blue devils"
n blue funk" and SO on, is not en-
tirely figurative, If we are to credit n
recent medical writer.
The class of phenomena that in
cludes fainting, vertigo, neusea, etc, is
controlled by certain brain centers
that also bring about sort of cramp
of the external muscles OF the eye.
The resulting compression of the or
gan causes objects to look gray or
blush, and ultimately produces ap-
parent darkness.
The use of the word, having physI-
ologlcal basis, is common to many
languages. The French say, for in
stance, Il see blue" A writer says
that the French word reimbursement
(giddiness) should be spelled ebleuis-
sement, and has the same origin.

Just as If picking babies up were an
everyday occurrence. In point OF fact,
he remembered that an elderly lady
