TRACK WAS
HEAVY AND
Time SLOW

The races at the fair grounds were
not as fast as expected yesterday. In
each of the harness events the win
ners took the purses in two and three
straight heats without much trouble,
which was rather a surprise
The 2;0S pace, the consolation
purse of $1,000, was won easily by
the big bay gelding Adam @, owned
by d. c. Bachant and driven by Mr..
DeRyder. The horses to start In the
race besides the winner we're Solano
Boy, property OF G. j. Uhl and driven
by Ward; the faithful little mare De-
lilah, owned by G. W. Bonnell and
driven by the owner; Ray o'Light, en-
tered by Z. S. Train and driven by
Whithead; General Hurts owned by
Gene Koontz and piloted by Hogo-
boom. Delilah drew first position at
the pole in the first heat, but Adam
G passed her before the second quar-
ter was gone, and in the pole position
the Bachant horse remained for the
remainder of the race. The main
participants for second money we're
Delilah and Ray o'Light, who both
did some splendid racing for the sec
ond draw Of the purse. Solano Boy
made a good fight in the second heat
for second place against Delilah and
barely won. Following is the sum-

HONORABLE DISCHARGE
 FOR COL. TUCKER
An Army Retiring Board Looking
 Into His Domestic Record.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-The army retire. ment board with General F. D. Grant presiding, met in the federal building today to consider the retirement of Col. W. F. Tucker. Col. Tucker has been in i'll health for over a year and asks an honorable discharge from the service on the usual half pay, He arrived from Hot Springs, Arkansas. yesterday and retired to his rooms at the Union League club. His wife, Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, whose al- legations placed against her husband with the secretary of war, created a sensation in Washington and Chi .erally will, it is expected testify be- fore the board.
 Mrs. Fuckers mother, Mrs. John A. Logan will also be a witness. Col. Fuckers nurse, Mrs. Myrtle B. Platt, is still at Hot Springs, and it is said there is no present intention of call ing her.
 Of the principals in the case, Col. Tucker was the only one to appear today. It was determined that the sessions of the board shall be secret, and adjournment until tomorrow was taken.
 Meanwhile Tucker was directed to undergo a physical examination. Col. Tucker, walking slowly but steadily, and with deep pallor testifying to his long illness, was surrounded by in- reviewers when he appeared in the government building.

 Asked if >>he knew the plans of Mrs. Tucker as to his case, he re- piled: /G know nothing about my wife%

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Mistaken by One Member to Mean
 Personal License.

Though the subject had been final ly disposed of so far as the council could dispose of it, MT Weedin de-
 sired to be heard upon q question of personal privilege His manner was impassiOned, not to say bitter. He recalled that he had introduced such bill two years ago and he reiter- ated his arguments at that time. Re ferring to the governors statement that the rangers were necessary to the preservation of law and order, Mr Weedin believed that was a re- flection upon all peace officers in Arizona, upon Arizona itself, inas- much as it was an imputation that the citizenry was a mob, not equal to the responsibility of selecting its of ficers, who should be chosen by the governor; who should be responsible

MEXICAN HOLOCAUST
 THREE HUNDRED DEAD
The Deadly Moving Picture Machine
 Claims an Awful Tribute.

Mexico City, Feb. 15.-Three hun dred persons were burned to death yesterday when the Teatro Flores of the City of Acapulco was destroyed. Several Americans were among the victims. The telegraph office was burned and for that reason news of the disaster has just been received.
 The Flores theater was a wooden structure. and last night more than 1000 people crowded into it to wit ness a special performance given in honor of governor Damian Flores, of the state of Guerrero.
 One of the numbers on the program consisted of a series of moving pie lures. While the operator was eX- hibiting these the films caught fire and the blaze was quickly communi- cated to some bunting, which was be- ing used for decorative purposes. In an incredibly short time the flames spread to all part of the structure. There were but three narrow exits and panic-sticken persons rushed to them, many persons falling to be crushed to death. their bodies choking the way.
 owing to the rapidity with which the fire spread it was impossible to attempt rescue work, and those i'm pTisOned were literally roasted alive. as the fire burned with little smoke. and few were suffocated. The teie- graph office. pOstoffice and customs house were damaged. but all the gov ernment records and registered mail were saved.
 Today pitiful scenes of grief were witnessed on the streets of the city Men, women and children waded

PROGRAM FOR THE SENATE
Only Hope Lies in the Con- sideration of the Bill With out Reference to Commit tee--Conference on Subject at White House Today.

Washington, Feb. 15.-(Special)- The separate statehood bill for Ari- zona and New Mexico, passed the house today unanimously and enthu- 
 Senator Beveridge, chairman of the senate committee on territories left today to be gone until February 27. The only chance for the bill now is for the senate to consider and pass it without reference to that commit tee. Friends of the bill are urging this course. Appeals are made to President Roosevelt and to President Elect Taft due here tomorrow. They will be asked to help with the senate. There will be a conference with the senators at the White House tomor- row
 Mark Smith, delegate from Ari- zona, made a stirring speech in sup port of the bill. He spoke of the in- justice of admitting other territories ahead of Arizona that surpassed them in natural resources and popu- lation in extent of territory and ed- ucation. A failure to pass the bill at this session he said meant the swrit- ing of a lie across the platforms of both democratic and republican parties''
 Smith was hailed as the first sen ator from Arizona by MT. Cole, re- publican, of Ohio.

THEY WANT GRAHAM
 COUNTY DIVIDED
Delegation Will Remain in Phoenix
 Until the Measure Is Passed.

Morenci, Ariz, Feb. 15.-(Special) A delegation of fourteen citizens of Morenci, Metcalf, Clifton and Dun can, representing the east half of Graham county, left for Phoenix this morning to put up a stubborn fight for county division. The delegation arrived with a petition bearing the signatures of nearly 2000 voters from that half of the county. This sec ton is solid in sentiment for division, many logical arguments being offered as to why the change should be made. Delegates plan to remain at the capital until the measure is passed.
Arizona republican., 1909-02-16

bills repeating the Arizona ranger force and the office of the public ex- aminer, were received during the reading of the minutes and were inn mediately thereafter taken up The message relative to the anti-rangers was read first without interruption, until that part of it was reached in which it was charged that the pro- posed legislation was dictated by the democratic territorial committee and that it had been charged, the charge being supported by appearances, that the bill was a compromise between the gambling interests and the anti ranger sentiment, and that gentlemen who two years ago had voted and labored for the suppression of gam bling had become inconsistentlY m volved.
 At this point MT. O'Neill moved that the further reading of the mes- sage be dispensed with. There was some approving handclapping by members and democratic politicians for whom the message was becom- ing too warm.
 President Hunt ruled against the motion on the ground that if action was to be taken upon the message it deserved the courtesy of a reading which thereupon proceeded.
 There was some flinching of the caucus at that point in the message where the governor alluded to the narrow, bigOted doctrine that, though the rangers were sustaining the law and order of the territory, the burden of this service should not rest upon those counties where law and order were not endangered.
 The message denounced as a gra- tuitous islander, the charge that the rangers had been employed in politi- cal work and then proceeded to show step by step, how, after the late election, legislation intended to em- barrass the administration was form ulated. Lastly, the message describ- ed in detail the organization of the caucus, the written, iron bound pledge of it's members, proof of which was furnished by a letter from MT. Bailey to a protesting constituent declaring in effect, that his obligation to the caucus fatally interfered with his duty to his constituents.
 The governor pointed out the worse than futllity of the Hampton elll pro- viding for the appointment of deputy rangers who would only increase the patronage of the sheriff's office, all ready the storm center of county pol itics
 When the reading was ended the usual question Shall the bill pass the governors objections thereto, notwithstanding? was put, and the veto was buried by a vote of 10 to ?, a party alignment

Jefferson Ciy, Mo, Feb. 15.-The Waters Pierce oil Company today filed in the supreme court of Missouri it's acceptance of the terms imposed upon the company in the recent custer suit order of the court and paid the fine of S50,000. The custer provides that the company must show the court it has severed all connection with the Standard Oil Company.
 On the ground that the company had not complied with the custer de- cree, the attorney general this after noon field a suggestion that the custer be made effective. and claimed as un- satisfactory the evidence that the com pany had severed its connection with the Standard.

NAVAL AFFAIRS

Washington, Feb. 15.-The senate devoted most of the day to consider ing the naval appropriation bill, and there was much discussion concern ing the growth of government ex- penditure for military purposes. MT.
 Hale declared that unless a halt was called, it would be necessary for congress to issue bonds, or in crease taxation
 Senators LaFOlette and Dixon cTiti- cised naval methods, especially the use of public funds for construction in the navy yards. Senator Hale warned the senate that unless more rapid progress were made, night ses- sions would soon become necessary.
 An appropriation of $12,0O0,0O0 is asked for the construction of auxiliary ships, such as transports, dispatch boats. cruisers and scouts, that may be necessary in time of war, in an amendment to the naval bill offered today by Seantor Newlands. The bill provides that in time of peace these vessels will be leased for commercial use.
 Discussing the naval bill, Senator Hale predicted that if the present rate of increase in the appropriation be continued, it would be necessary for the government either to increase the rate of taxation or to borrow money At the present rate of increase in the navy. MT. Hale continued, next year S16O, ,OOO.000 will be required and s2O0.- 000,000 the year after.
 The committee provision to create the rank of vice admiral. in the in interest of Admiral Evans. was elim- mated on a point of order made by Senator Raynor of Maryland.

Death of Representative Granger of Rhode Island.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 15.-The house at 4:4O o'clock this afternoon passed the bill removing the constitu- tional restriction to Senator Knox as stunning the office of secretary of state. The bill had been previously re- jected under the two-thirds rule. The majority on the passage under the special rule was 173 to IF.
 The bill is substantially the one passed by the senate, and it is consid- cred probable that it will be accepted by that body. A special rule permit ted majority vote instead of two thirds.

HURRIED TO A VOTE

Washington, Feb. 15.-The struggle of Arizona and New Mexico for sep arate statehood was rewarded today in so far as the house of representa- tives is concerned, when that body, under a suspension of the rules. unanimously passed the bill granting separate statehood to the two terri tories. '45a4ss2
 MT. Hamilton, of Michigan. having the measure in charge spoke briefly in support of it, and said it was not a party question. Both sides, he de- clared, were not rallying to fulfill party pledges.
 Mir. Smith of Arizona asked for the passage of the bill. That such a bill had not been passed before, said he, was a matter which stood as a shame against the record of congress.
 There were cries of vote, vote, :"

about hunting for relatives or friends. Many of the dead are from the first families of the state, the affair at the theater being a social event of considerable importance and calling out the wealthiest and oldest families for miles around. In some instances whole families were wiped out. The municipal officials today had large trenches dug and into these the bod ies were laid. Identification has been impossible as most of the bodies were burned to a crisp.
 Telegrams sent to the American consul at Acapulco by the Asso- ciated Press asking for names of American dead have not been an- swered.

to him alone and he should be re- sponsible only to a gentleman in Washington.
 '1 resent the slander," declared Mir Weedin, whereupon MT. O'Neill be- trayed his approval of this patriotic sentiment by falling over in his chair thereby adding to the applause which the speakers remarks were eliciting from the caucus.
 MT. Weedin, after the interruption, charged that the rangers had been made a political organization by the governor and that its members had been assessed ten per cent of their salaries for campaign purposes. He concluded with the statement that in his own county the recrudescence of crime which had long since been put down by fearless citizens, a lynching party, not peace officers, who had successfully defied a United States marshal, had been synchronous with the institution of the rangers.
 MT. Weedin in the course of his address made the statement that the rangers cost the territory $66,00O a year; that they had made HOO ar rests and that these arrests therefore had cost the territory over $3,000. How this result had been arrived at. nobody at the time thought to in- quire.
 MT. Morgan of Navajo spoke brief ly. saying that his action had the ap- proVal of every man, woman and child of his county. He described the operations of the rangers there and offered a tribute to the alertness, courage and integrity of the local peace officers.
 Here MT. Breen interposed. Said he: q see no reason for the continu- ance of this discussion. I move that the further apologies of the gentle men be placed on file"
 Left Handed Applause.
 At this point MT. O'Neill in mo- ted the worst of the many errors of the caucus, by an insult of the gov ernor which was almost coarse and brutal. There were misses in the gal lery. The president pounded his desk, but Mir. O'Neill proceeded inspired perhaps by the vOciferous hand clap ping of the Honorable Wilberforce Fatigue Timmons of Yuma, who had eluded the vigilance of the doorkeep CT and the sergeant at-arms and had found a place on the floor.
 MT. Timmons was later -remon- strated with by friends for his hearty approval of Mir. O'Neill's insult of the governor. He replied that he did not approve all that the orator had said, but he had clapped his hands in or der to drown the sibilant indignation of the galleries.
