CONSTITUTIONAL
 AMENDMENT ASKED
tBy Associated Press.)

CBy Associated PreSs.)
 WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 2O.-It develops that the legislatures of thirty-one states have adopted reso- lutions fayoring the election of United States senators by direct vote. and asking congress to call convention for the amendment of the constitu. tion.
 ever two-thirds of the states shall demand by petition or other action of their legislatures. congress shall adopt a resolution providing for a constitutional convention to make such changes in the constitution as will make that instrument accord with the will of the people
 With the action of the Alabama leg islature last August, the requisite two-thirds of the states had acted af- firmatively upon the question of di. rect senatorial election. That Ala bama was the state numbering the thirty-first, does not appear to have dawned on anyone until recently.
 An interesting question now, is: What will the congress do about this most imperative mandate possible under the existing system of govern ment?
 Talk is already afoot to the effect that the leaders in the congress, more especially Senators Aldrich and Hale, in the senate, and Speaker Cannon, in the house, will seek to ignore the movement for a constitutional con vention. Everything indicates that at least for the present, the expres sion of the will of two-thirds of the states will not reach further than the pigeon hole of the desk Of some com mittee chairman.
 If such a fate is meted out to the demand of the state legislatures which favor the election of United States by direct vote, what assurance is there that a demand of two-thirds of the states for a convention to le- galize an income tax will receive any better treatment? This is a perti- nent question raised by some of the friends of an income tax who have contended from the outset that the submitting of the income tax ques- ton to the state legislatures was merely scheme to prevent the peo- pie from securing income tax legis- Iation.
 As if to pave the way for the block ing of 8 constitutional convention, the standpatters point to the fact that while congress is commanded to take action in accordance with the demand of two-thirds of the states. there is absolutely no method provided by which congress can be compelled to obey the constitution. A technical objection is also expected on the ground that the resolutions passed by tuS SAdlc 4SSiSAdtuISS di AOI SAAlOih ihi- There promises to be elaborate ex- plaining that the action of some of the legislatures did not constitute an application" but amounted only to statement" or declaration"
 It is now being recalled that Sen ator owen of Oklahoma brought to the attention of senators during the last session the fact that before the next meeting tn requisit number of states would have acted upon the question of electing senators by a direct vote to put the matter square ly up to congress. He is authority for the statement that both Senators Aldrich and Hale rebuked him for his activity and told him it was question the majority would deal with n it's own time and in its own way.

CONNECTION BY \ JURY FOR
 GAMBLING

Nilh lhe cohNlctlon by a Jury Of Henderson Bendow. charged with playing "blackjack'' with cards foI money occurs the first finding of it's kind in Cochise county under the re gently enacted gambling laws.
 The case occupied practically six hours in Justice Highs court, begin- ming at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and the final arguments not being concluded until nearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon. District Attorney John $. Williams and Assistant District At torney E. J. F1anigan conducted the peoples case, while Morrison and Dorr appeared for the defendant.
 Sheriff Jack White. who made the arrests of all three men paticipat. ing in the game last Satuday night, in pool room over the Depot saloon, testified as to finding money upon the table. and tnen dozen or more witnesses who were present at the arrest testified. Those called by the defense tried to prove that the game of "black-iack" was only for the drinks, and that the, 40 cents fom1 upon the table was only put up as T guarantee that the liquids would bs furnished, and this was the basis or Attorney Morrison's arguments to the jury in closing, that the game was not being played for money.
 Assistant District Attorney F1an.. gan began the closing argument wIch an arraignment of the testimony, At torney Morrison followed and Dis. rict Attorney Filliams, fighting against time So as to make the z:4s train back to Tombstone, pointed out the duties of the jurymen, and at the conclusion caught up his grip an: made for tn. train barely in time tc catch it.
 The district attorney. referring tc $ the fact that there was only 40 cents on the table when the game was raid Ied, stated that it made no difference as regards the sum, it was the act Attorney Morrison claimed the prose cution was trying to prove that Ben dow was banking the game, whicr was untrue as he had no ''bank-roll' IIs'front of him He stated that few friends getting together for. a quisi game could not be punished ever though they played for money. as Ions as there was no banker and the house was getting no percentage. anl caused much humor by referring tc Sheriff White as a poker-players 1ui arguing that if the sheriff was play ing for money he wouldn't sit in a game where the banker didn't snow [ his roll" or words to that effect.
