women out Of every seven are at work,

thing new to the surface. 1t brought
to light force at work in this land
OF bonndless wealth and unlimited OPP

will result in a wholesale wrecking Of

eaten far into the social fabric. Its
outward and visible sign is the fact
that on the shoulders of millions Of

but their children and their homes
are slowly sinking.

HOPE FOR THE SMALL FARMER.

Everywhere the South is already catching Dire
Will, the new and radical idea that the small
farmer may really make money. In Virginia,
farmers, on land valued at "a an acre, have
suddenly taken to growing crops valued ut
500 an acre. Young men are beginning to stay
in the country in order to make money. Even

HENEY REsENTs BATTING

 Proceedings

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-rhe Calhoun trial, now entering the fifth week, has produced no session ap- preaching in interest the proceedings today, when the panel of twelve, com pleted after days of effort, was ---.en up by the discharge of one juror, and when Heney, resenting the demeanOs of a witness on the stand, declared he had fixed a line over which no living man could in the future step.
 Heney arose and said: ''This dis triet attorney is doing his duty as such, but before I am district attOr- ney, I am an American citizen, and in that capacity I want to say right here and now I draw a line over which no living man may step. For months I took all the villifeation that could be heaped on me merely because I dared to do this duty. I am through with it now, and I want this understood thor oughly."
 The judge allowed a challenge of the defense against one juror.

0'NeiIl in Council Makes Billngsgate Attack on Governor Kibbey That Disgusts His Enemies And
 Shocks Friends
By Staff Correspondent

PHOENIX, Feb. 15.-Procee1ings in the legislature today were spectacular in the extreme and even more sensa- tional than predicted. Under the re- lentless grind of the caucus machinery the acts to abolish the rangers and the office of public examiner were passed by strict party vote over the govern or's vetoes, transmitted to both houses today.
 The Pace bill in the house developed unexpected strength, the Republicans voting solidly against a motion intend ed to kill the bill and defeated the ef forts of the "wets."
 A measure aimed to oust J. J. Riggs, citizen member of the board of con trol, was reported favorably by the council and the primary election l.sw was given consideration by the house.
 From a kaliedeseopie resume nf events should not be omitted a most malicious and sensational attack on the personal character of Governor Kibbey by O'NeiI of Maricopa in the council this morning, following the passing of the bills over the veto, which came like a thunderbolt out of the sky. President Hunt tried to check the ti- rade with the gavel but O'Nein plung- ed on, shocking his friends and dis gusting his enemies, raking the pri- vate life of the governor fore and aft, and winding up with long quotation from Tom Moore's Yelled Prophet of Khorassan.
 The speech called forth misses and no applause.
 Tonight Democrats denounee the act of O'Neill as unealled for and unwar- ranted, and regret he let his personal enmity lead him to stoop to billings gate.
 The speech was an outburst of long pent-up feeling against the governor, who criticized him in an address at the opera house some months ago.
 But for Hunt, who refused to put a motion to dispense with the reading of the message, saying courtesy to the

 SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.-Owing to the absence of Senator Estuddillo, chairman of the committee on cleo tions and election laws, the report of the Wright-Stanton direct primary bill was not presented this afternoon, as anticipated, and will be offered tomor- row, when it will be made a special order of business, probably for Wed nesday.
 The majority report will favor the amendment striking out all reference to the expression of popular opinion on the United States senatOrship, whereas the minority report will ad- vocate the bill as originally intro dueed, providing that it shall be op- tional with a party to pledge, permit ting nominees of the legislature to pledge themselves to senatorial eandi- dates of respective parties who receive the largest popular vote at the pri- mary.
 The only other difference is the ma iority will insist upon a majority of votes for the nomination, while the others want a plurality.

 Sutter in the house, explaining his vote to those who asked him to try to defeat the bills, said he would have done so if possible, but he sbided by the party decision against his eonvie- tions.

FLAME TRAPPED SPECTATORS
 PERISH Throng Caught Within Theatre 300 Burn
 To Crisp LEADING MEXICAN FAMILIES ARE WIPED OUT AMERICANS ARE AMONG DEAD BUT UNIDENTIFIED AS
 BODIES WERE
 CHARRED
By Associate ted Press.


 CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 15.-Three hundred persons wereb urned to death yesterday when the theatre Flores, in the city of Acapulco, was destroyed Several Americans were victims.
 The news of the disaster reached here this evening, telegraphic commun- ication with Acapulco being destroyed last night and today, owing to the fact that the telegraph office adjoining the theatre was burned and all wires put out of commission.
 The Flores threatre was a wooden structure, and last night more than 1000 people crowded into it to wit ness a special performance in honor of Governor Damian Flores, of the state of Guerrero.
 The numbers consisted of moving pictures.
 While the operator was exhibiting these film caught fire, and the blaze quickly communicated to the bunting used for decorative purposes.
 In an incredibly short time the flames spread to all parts of the struc- ture.
 There were but three narrow exits, and the panic stricken audience rush ed to them, many falling to be crushed to death. their bodies choking the way of escape to others.
 The screams of those imprisoned were terrifying.
 Owing to the rapidity with which the fire spread and the intense heat, 1t was impossible to attempt rescue work and those imprisoned were literally roasted alive, as the fire burned with little smoke and few were suffocated.
 The efforts of the fire department were confined to attempting to save the adjoining buildings, and it sue ceeded so well that the property loss was small.
 There telegraph office, postofice, and customs house were damaged, but all records and registered mail was saved.
 Many of the dead are from the first families of the state, the affair being a social event of considerable impor- tance. In some instances whole Iam- lilies are wiped out.
 Municipal officials today had large trenches dug and into these the bOules were laid.
 Identification was impossible, as most of the eorpses were burned to a crip.
 Telegrams asking the names of the American dead are unanswered.
 Beside the 25O or 300 dead, many are injured.
