The story was told to President Taft
One hight Is years ago while travelling
alone in the grand canyon of Arizona

die. A miner discovered him and hur-
ried to Cameron's home for help. Nor
ton was taken to the Cameron home,
where he recovered.

TTYELL oiled and running as
wv smoothly as in fits palmiest
days, the republican machine
dominated the meeting of the re-
publican state central committee yes
terdsy at the Palace hotel The or
gsnization bosses were in control and
the last operations Of the disintegrat-
ing machine were marked by all the
old time methods.
The Payne Aldrich tariff bill was
lauded as a wise and beneficial meas
ure: insurgency was denounced Presi-
dent Tafts administration was in
dorsed in glowing terms and so was
Governor Gfletts. despite his inter
ference with the Jehries-Johnson prize
fight To put the proper finishing
touch on the proceedings, Chairman P.
s. Teller was authorized to invite Vice
President sherman to come to Califor-
MIA in July and make two campaign
speeches, only these addresses were
referred to in the resolution as dis
cussions Of national issues"
No Candidate Endorsed
The question of the Endorsement Of
Alden Anderson or some other candi-
date for governor was not raised, but
the expected bolt was hurled at Hiram
". Johnson in the form of a resolution
requesting candidates for republican
nominations to pledge themselves in
writing to support whatever party
nominees might be chosen at. the pri-
maries. Johnson has never said that
he wouldn't do this, but on the other
hand he is the only gubernatorial can
.didste who hasn't already gone on
record to this effect.
While hopelessly in the minority, the
anti-machine members of the COM
znittee, however, played the game for
all IL was worth. They furnished more
material for anti-machine political am
rnunition than has been developed during
the whole campaign They put the state
central committee on record as refus-
ing to consider a denunciation of party
control by the Southern Pacific political
bureau, and they also brought to light
q well developed Intention on the part
OF the machine leaders to treat the
advisory vote for United States senator
p with contempt.
Business Is Hurried
The real business Of the meeting
the authorization Of a call for state
conyention-was disposed of without
friction or loss Of time. Secretary
William H Davis and Assistant Secre-
tary l. r. Weinmann had the neces-
:aary resolutions and draft of the call
in shape, and the adoption of this and
the apportionment of delegates were
unanimously agreed upon. The con-
vention will be held in San Francisco
Tuesday. September 6. and will consist
OF 42S delegates. The resolution set
ting the time and date was introduced
by Grove l. Johnson Of Sacramento inn
nledistely after the committee was
called to order at O'Clock by Chair
man P. S. Teller.
The purpose of the state convention,
as set forth in the formal call. will be
- promulgate q party platform, to
elect a new state central committee and
TO nominate candidates to fill any va
csncies that may exist on the party
ticket. The basis of apportionment for
representation at the state convention.

MCCARTHY TALKS AFTER
SEEING THE GOVERNOR

The first statement of his position
on the prize fight situation was given
out last night by Mayor Mccarthy.
IN which is covered his view of the
controversy asc we'll as that of Gov
ernor Gillett- While the mayor does
not ATTEMPT to discuss the legal phase
OF the matter, he expresses himself of
the opinion that the wisest course TO
have been pursued would have been
to let the fight promoters put their
men in the ring and then decide
through the action of the courts inst
to what extent the law was being
broken His statement covers a two
hours interview with the governor al
Sacramento Sunday. 1t is as follows:
To the Public: Upon my return
to San Francisco it was made To
appear very clear to me by the re-
ported action of the San Francisco
labor council and a large number
of citizens not associated with or
ganized labor that, in their tudg
ment, very serious blow had been
of San Francisco: that her financial
and business interests had been
given tremendous setback; that
because of the manner this blow
was dealt the character and repu-
tation of the city had been i'm
measurably impaired, due, as ex-
planned by them, to the unfortun-
ate advertisement and criticism
calling out and the placing in San
Francisco of the state militia in
order to enforce the law.
Interviews Governor
In Difference to these expressed
opinions, took the o'clock train
yesterday Sunday morning to
Sacramento and spent several
hours in conversatin with Governor
James N. Gillett at his home. pur-
sued this course in order to famiI-
iarize myself regarding the phases
of the much talked OF Jeffrfes-
Johnson contest from the govern
or's standpoint. I desired also, IL
possible, to impress the governor
with the fact that San Francisco in
particular, and the state OF CaIifor-
mia in general, was being dealt
with most severely, due to the re-
ported intention of the governor to
call out the militia and proclaim
martial law in time of absolute
peace.
The governor assured me that
upon the representation of the
chief of police of San Francisco
regarding the enforcement OF the
law, that he had withdrawn from
that city; that as governor of all
the people of the state he was in
duty bound to respect, obey and
enforce the law impartialIy as he
understood it. He stated that in
his opinion the mere proposed con-
test bore the earmarks of a prize
fight, and as such is unlawful un-
der the statutes OF this state. In
this view he claimed to be support
ed by the decisions Of the courts of
a number of states. one of which
he read; also that he had been ap-
pealed to by a large number OF
citizens throughout the state and
elsewhere who were opposed to the
holding of this contest

Busy With Constitution
SANTA FE. N. NJ, June 2O.4The ter
ritory of New Mexico is enthusiastic
from one end to the other as result of
President Taft signing the statehood
bill today. Santa Fe, Las Vegas and
Ration held mass meetings. The mass
meetings in the plaza at Santa Fe ad-
journed with three rousing cheers for
Taft
kilograms of fluctuations were ex-
changed between Acting Governor
Young of Arizona and Acting Governor
Jaffa of New Mexico. The latter has
already prepared the apportionment for
the constitution convention of 100 dele
gates, two-thirds being republicans.
There will be no delay in adopting a
constitution, as the republican party of
the territory is very conservative and
energetically opposed to socialistic
ideas. The constitution is likely to be
the most conservative, and is sure to
be one that will meet President Taft's
approval. 1t is proposed to have the
constitution adopted by the people in
time to lay before congress in De-
cember
New Mexico state will be republican
by 5000 to 10000. In total vote of
$4,000, republicans are preparing to
capture the senatorships. Thomas b.
Catron and Solomon Luna are picked
as the winners. but strong fight will
be put up by Governor Mills, former
Governor Prince Otero, and Carey, dele
gate to congress, w. H. Andrews and
Colonel w. H. Llewellyn.
For representative in congress Terri
torial Chairman II. o. Bursum will
probably be elected from southern and
Charles A. Spies from northern New
New Mexico. For governor Nathan
Jaffa, present territorial secretary,
seems to be the choice.
Prohibition will be a difficult ques-
ton to settle. Judge B. FALL Felix
Martinez, Judge N. B. Laughlin and
General Charles f. Easley will be lead
ing democratic candidates for the
United States senate. All are conserv-
atives opposed to referendum. socialist
and other new ideas. Granville A.
Richardson of Roosevelt and A. o. Lar
razolo will be the principal democratic
candidates for congress. and O. N. Mar
ron, III. B. Ferguson, w. B. Walton for
governor. Chief Justice w. H. Pope, it
is expected, will be appointed to the
new federal judgship.

OUR NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

President Taft's appointment and the
confirmation by the Senate of Justice
Edward Douglas White as Chief JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court, meets with the highest approval
throughout the land.
This is the highest honor which the
South has been the recipient of from
the national government since the
Civil War. The action Of the Presi-
dent in his selection of one of the
South's sons has done more to break
the Solid South than anything else
since the breach of hostilities in the
SOS. Such justice and confidence the
North should long ago have extended
and there would have been no solid,
unbroken South as we a " today.
Our new Chief Justice is SO well and
favorably known hat 1t is useless for
us to review his great career. Suf-
flee 1t to say, he is a Louisianian born
and reared in Lafourche parish; COM
menced at the bottom or MS prO1eS-
sion, climbed up to be a Justice of
the State Supreme Cou and United
States Senator, and was appointed by
President Cleveland to the United
States Supreme Bench in 1894, which
he has since been occupying.
President Taft has rendered a dis
tinguished service to the country. He
has appointed what we consider the
most eminent lawyer in these United
States to fill the highest position In
his gift and our President is being
highly commended for his action in so
nobly putting aside party allegiance
and appointing the ablest jurist to fill
the highest judicial position in the land.

Insects and Alfalfa.

1t has been discovered that the honey.
bee is Of even more Importance to the
alfalfa than the alfalfa is to the bee.
The wonderful strength and speed of
the bees take them long distances for
their food. and they have recourse to
great variety of plants. But the pecul-
lar construction of the alfalfa blossom
renders it unable to fertilize itself, and
Its shape makes cross fertilization very
difficult.
At the Kansas experiment station
small plot of vigorous alfalfa was COW
cred just before coming up into bloom
with mosquito netting supported on
sticks. 1t was therefore known that
no bees or other insects could come
into contact with the blossoms. Later
q careful examination disclosed that
the pods which had formed were en-
tirely without seeds.-Coburn's The

GROWING Potatoes.

In Ireland, in the best potato grow
Ing localities, yield of 400 bushels to
the acre Is nothing unusual 1t is OBJ
tanned by the use OF about thirty loads
Of barnyard manure to the acre, sup
plemented by 500 pounds Of CONNER
cial fertilizers, proportional as follows
One hundred pounds Of murlate Of
potash and 400 pounds of superphos
phate. In England the best results
are obtained by the use Of twenty to
twenty-five loads of barnyard manure
to the acre, supplemented with 100
pounds of sulphate of ammonia, $50
pounds Of superphosphate and 80
pounds Of su.phate of potash. The
popular fertilizer for growing potatoes
In Maine, when planted where a two
year-old crop Of clover or grass has
been grown. is made up on the farm
OF 135 pounds of nitrate Of soda, 600
pounds of tankage, 200 pounds OF acid
phosphate and 400 pounds of sulphate
Of potash, making in all 1885 pounds.
One-half this amount is used in the
planter or mixed in the furrow and
the other half at the first narrowing,
when the plants begin to appear.
