GOVERNOR KIBBEY ON TIE
 INITIATIVE AND RE:FERENDUE1

At the republican rally ir Phoenix few days ago eX Gov ernor Joseph H. Kibbcy made one of the best speeches of the present campaign. Gov. KibbGy sta t.ted in abruptly with the statement that he was there be cause he wanted statehood.
 "Some weeks ago." he said, "I stood on this platform with others to felicitate Governor Sloan for what he has done in behalf of statehood. 1 said then that l hoped there would be no politics mingled with the consti- tutional convention. 1 said that the man who attempts to make political capital of the present emergency is an enemy of state hood. What is tue result?
 Our proposition for non partisan delegation to the con. 'vehtion was rejected contemptu- ously by the democrats. They told Us that other counties would notsend non partisan delegations and that, therefore, they would not acQuiesce in the proposal. That was the reason they gave. We are going as delegates from Maricopa county, and what Co chisc or Yavapai do is their own affair.
 "Thc democratic papers tell us that democrats must write the constitution. Why democrats? Why not prohibitiouists or so ciahsts? Why shall net the con atitatiou of Arizona be written by representatives of all the people, regardless of party? SELF INDICTMENTS
 "The democYnts, aS 1 have said, insisted that thas shall be q party campaign And bow have they conducted it2 First, by writing indictments against the democratic party. They say that the Legislature is so corrupt that they must have the initia- tive and referendum. Why should democrats indict them selves and peud guilty to the charge? (Laughter.)

Senator Lodge Roundly
 Scored For DiscOurteSy

Washington, March 2.-(Special.)- Whether from New England thrift, of tended senatorial dignity or both, Sen Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts has prevented the presentation of a little token of remembrance and es- teem from the United States Senate to Col. James Gordon, the outgoing Mississippi senator.
 Senator Gore of Oklahoma thought it would be the handsome thing to give to the quaint old character, wh o through his sweetness and simplicity has won his way into the hearts of public men in Washington, gold headed cane to assist the old body with it's young heart around Okolona, Miss, when he tells of his Washington ex- perience. It was something new in Senate annals and all--that is, nearly all--the senators were enthusiastic over 1t.
 With the idea ia view Senator Gore called one of the pages to him this morning and told him to take a list of all the senators and ask them for 50 cents each for the purpose of pur- oh asing a cane for Jim Gordon. The page started to make the rounds of the Senate and the senators respond ed with alacrity. Instead of b0 cents most of them wanted to give $50. The

THE EMBASSY BILL
 IS DISAPPROYED

Washington, March 2.-Following an animated debate on a bill giving legis- lative authority for future approprfa- tions to purchase sites for the con struction of buildings as residences of diplomatic officials abroad. the House today placed its seal of disapproval upon all such projects. The measure which had been reported from the com mittee on foreign affairs, carried no appropriation. and limited the amount that might be appropriated for such purpose by future congresses in any one year to s5oo.00
 Representative Prince declared that the policy of providing such residences would increase the expense of living abroad on the part of the diplomatic officers and make it impossible for poor men to accept such posts.
 Upon the conclusion of the debate the vote showed 160 against and S4 members favoring the proposition. by which vote the house concurred in the recommendation of the committee of the whole to strike out the enacting clause of the bin.

New York. March 2.-Supreme Court Justice Swayze of New Jersey has set Sat urday next as the time for hearing the arguments of Pierre Garven, the public prosecutor of Hudson county, in the mat ter of obtaining possession of the books of Armour & Co.,, Swift & Co.,. and others recently indicted at Jersey City charged with conspiracy in controlling the price of meat.
 The defendants will be notified to be on hand to show cause why such an order should not be granted. Although six corporations and 21 individuals already have been indicted the so-called meat grand jury is still in session in Jersey City. and by obtaining the minutes of stockholders and directors meetings held within the jurisdiction of the New ter sey courts, are given hopes to present to the grand jury evidence which will war rant further prosecution.
 Capiases for the arrest of the individuals named in the recent indictments are now In the sheriff's hands but he apparently has a tremendous task ahead of him In serving them on J. Ogden Armour and others who are not in the state.
 The only defendants upon whom service has been obtained so far as are known are James Eathgate of Orange. N. J.. eastern agent of the National Packing company, and Frederick B. Cooper Of Montclair,

would prove that the part of Conger s story involving Hiram G. Moe and Moe s own evidence were made out of whole cloth and absolutely false.
 The first witness today was Harvey J. Daniels of Norwich. clerk of the ways and means committee in 1901. when Aids was its chairman. Daniels declared that on the day Aids is alleged to have re- ceived the 5000 bribe in this committee quarters at the capitol the witness or some other employe was in the room all the time and that Conger did not enter the room that day.
 He denied that Moe or Conger gave Aids anything there on April 23, as they charge
 Daniels was cross-examined by Judge Van Wyck. His friendship and obliga- tion to Aids for many years was brought out Conger's side also showed that the witness could not account for all of Aids time on the morning of April 2s. 1901.
 The examination of Daniels occupied the greater part of the morning. Judge Van Wyck called attention to his marvellous recollection of the events of April 2S and asked If he could remember as well what occurred on April 22 or 2l. All that the witness could recollect about the latter date was that he did not attend church.

page informed them that Senator Gore said half a dollar would be enough. Working his way around the chamber the page found Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts and told him of the Sen ate's proposed surprise for Senator Gordon. It was certainly a surprise for Senator Lodge and the page received a calling down that he will never for get.
 Senator Lodge indignantly called the matter to the attention of the ser geant at arms of thes Senate and that official was compelled to direct the page to discontinue the collection.
 The page informed Senator Gore what had happened and the senator re- quested him to return the money to the donors. In order to prevent the impending dismissal of the page, Sen ator Gore told the sergeant at arms that he was entirely responsible for the collection being taken; explained to him for what purpose 1t was made. and added that he had directed the money to be returned.
 Senator Gore did not care to dis cuss the matter, but there was flood of unpfintable cloak room gossip at Senator Lodges expense during the aft ernoon.
 The cane will be bought for Jim Gordon, but no money will have to be collected for there will probably be enough of It forthcoming to put dia- mond or two in the headpiece.

 The senate voted that their testimony would not interfere with their duties as judges of the accused senator The de- fense brought out that Conger at the senators conference had mentioned no third person in connection with alleged bribing of Aids and today announced 1t
