This morning Marion Wood

This morning Marion Woodland
had occasion to go into the storage
vault in the basement of the court
house to examine some old records,
and while he was inside someone
pushed the vault door shut and turn
ed the lock. In about minute and
a half Marion found he was locked
in, the windows being covered with
iron bars, and he commenced to make
"a terrible racket in the hope Of at
tracing some ones attention. He
shook the vault doors and yelled
like Sioux indian, but it was some
time before he could attract the at
tention of janitor Pickering, who re-
leased him. Marion will be mighty
careful when he goes into that vault
again.

pirations. Colonel Pickett, when he first announced his candidacy for the Senate. declared that it was his pur- pose to go before the people and seek their endorsement by a popular vote plan, and he now declares that 1t is his purpose to ask all candidates for the United States senate in Arizona to sign an agreement by which they will bind themselves to submit their claims to a direct primary vote. This certainly would be fair to all and would insure that whoever went to the United States senate would be choice of a majority of all the peo- pie
 From what l could learn from Graham county democrats 1t is safe likely that the democrats will name such men as Hon. George A. Alney. Hon. W. c. Webb. Hon. Mitt Sims. Hon. Lamar Cobb and owens of Mo renci for delegates to the constitu- tional convention. These men may not all be selected, but the senti- ment in Graham is to select men of well known character and ability, and if any one of the above is not a candidate. it may be predicted that some other equally as well qualified will be selected.
 The democrats from Maricopa coun- ty seem to be well pleased with the nominations made at Phoenix last Tuesday. It Is regarded as a good ticket and one that will be strong before the people.
 The Arizona colony about Los An geles now are all agog over the ap- preaching annual reunion of the Has- sayampa club. All arrangements are about complete for a grand time. which will begin with a picnic ex- cursion to Venice on the 17th, and a banquet at the Hollenbeck hotel on the evening Of the 18th. An invita- tion signed by fifty Arizonans was forwarded yesterday to Governor R. E. Sloan at Phoenix. requesting that he be present at the banquet to ad- dress those present. Besides Cover nor Sloan it is expected that Hon. Mark Smith will be present and there will be other well known speak CTS from the territory. It is ex- pected that there will be more than two hundred banquet tickets sold be- fore the 17th, as a great many have already been taken. and the head quarters of the club in the Hollen- beck hotel is now a popular resort for all visitors from the territory.

with the demand he grappled with one of the men and struck him in the face.
 Seeing that they could not induce him to allow himself to be searched the smaller man of the tria advised the other two to leave him alone. All three of the highwaymen immediate ly fled. Puhara then pulled a gun at the fleeing men.
 The gun refused to work properly at first. thus allowing the men to get almost out of sight befre Puhara could adjust the trigger. As far as is known neither shot took effect
 Puhara was carrying about $500 in currency and a valuable watch at the time of the holdup.
 It was reported late last night that three men had made an attempt to hold up a Slovenian in North Globe about an hour after the attempt was made to rob Puhara. The man is said to have resisted and the robbers fled.
 Andre Maurel was held up on the night previous by what is supposed to have been the same trio. He was returning from a council meeting at the time and had reached a point on North Broad street opposite Bankers Garden when three men stopped him with an order to throw up his hands. Instead of complying with the demand Maurel ran into a nearby saloon and made his escape.
 The police are now making stren- uous efforts to find the robbers. but

TAFT'S REPLY ID
 GLOBE REPUBLICANS
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID ABOUT HIS OPINION OF THE CONSTITUTION.

In view of the republican primary at Globe geat interest follows the telegram received from President Taft, in reply to a message sent by F. D. Smith, a republican insurgent of Gila county. Smiths telegram read:
 "On behalf of the Young Mems Re- publican club of Gila county, Ari- zona, I am instructed to ask if the inclusion of a clause in Arizona's constitution reserving to the people under sensible restrictions the right of the initiative and referendum would initiate against executive ap- proval."
 The following answer was re- ceived: Telegram received. The president feels that he ought not to make any suggestion at this time concerning provisions of the pro posed constitution. ."-Charles D. Nor ton, Secretary
 Later the Silver Belt, now an or ganizatiOn newspaper. wired for the copy of Norton's reply and received the following telegram from the president.
 My attitude with respect to the character of the constitution was sui ficiently shown by my speeches in the territory. It would be inap- propriate at the present time, in view of my subsequent official re- lations to the constitution which is to be adopted to answer any specific questions"
 The president does not in either telegram commit himself to either faction, nor does he assume the az igressive in respect to the initiative and referendum. In fact even i1 his speeches in Arizona he never used the term or definitely defined what his objections were to the constitu- tion of Oklahoma to which he re- ferred- The Globe insurgents there fore do not take the telegrams as committing the president to any course.
 The war between the progressives and the "pullbacks" in Gila county Is earnest Saturday night the Young Mems Republican club held a meeting at which two hundred were present and applauded speeches in favor of the initiative. referendum and recall.
 The organization is against an in- structed delegation while the young CT and more progressive element in the party in Gila county want the delegates instructed specifically for the initiative and referendum.

SANTA BARBARA. Cal, Aug.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Aug. IT.
 Two days spent in Los Angeles will convince anyone that a large number of the politicians of Arizona now in that city and vicinity, were devoting as much time to the future state as they are to taking rest and recreation at the beaches. l met no less than two avowed candidates for the United States senate at the Hol- lenbeck last Wednesday. These were Colonel H. l.. Pickett of Tombstone and Senator Eugene S. Ives of Tue son. Honorable Mark Smith is now somewhere in the vicinity of San Francisco. but before leaving Los Angeles he announced that on his re turn to Arizona he would begin a vigorous campaign for the United States senate.
 Besides these three avowed candi- dates. l met Frank Cox, the well known attorney of Phoenix. who may be safely regarded as at least a re ceptive candidate, and no one need be surprised to find him a very ac- tive candidate long before the meet ing of the first legislature of tke new state.
 Besides these senatorial candidates there are many prominent demo crats from every section of Arizona in Los Angeles and at the nearby beach points. Among these I met Hon. Mike Burns, Hon. Thomas Nor ris of Prescott, John R. Hampton. George A. Alney and John Birdno of Graham county. In Los Angeles among the Arizonans. as in the terri tory, the discussion of the new state largely turns to the initiative and referendum. and while some are very vigorous in their advocacy of this principle of government. still others feel that if placing this pro vision in the constitution of Ari- zona would defeat statehood, it were better that it be forgotten for the present. So far as I could probe the sentiments of Arizonans on this ques- ton. they are all practically agreed that it would be better to have this article. whatever it may be. submit ted as a seperate proposition. instead of placing it in the body of the con stitution.
 Colonel H. L. Pickett of Tombstone, before reaching Los Angeles, made . tour of all the counties in Northern Arizona and scattered his senatorial seed thickly wherever he went, and he seems well pleased with the head way he has made so far in his as-

 The girls parents insisted on pros- ecuting Caceese. and as the child is under age there is nothing to do for the magistrate but to hold hom for examination. In default of 5000 bail he was committed to the Richmond county jail until next Wednesday.
