tion by the candidate for office that
he will vote for the peoples choice for
United States Senator.
Now "Newt" Burgess has always
done this.
In 1908 he was in the memorable
legislative session as representative OF
Wasoo county. That year I. I. Geer
was the peoples choice for United
States Senator.
Mr.. Burgess did not like Mr.. Geer;
be did not approve of him; yet that
made no difference with what he felt
to be his duty.
This was before Statement Number
One was even talked of Ebut he con-
sistently voted for Geer right through
tbe long session. But the machine
| was forcing Charley Fulton on the
legislature; Burgess headed revolt
and continued to push the name Of
Geer. the peoples choice.
But it was no use. All could see
that Geer was defeated. SO in last
desperate effort to save the day for
the people Mr.. Burgess voted Tor Har-
vey W. Scott.
Mr. Burgess has been charged OF
making a "death bed repentance. !"
Does the action of Mr.. Burgess in
1903 looks as if he needed any re
| pentance?"
His action was that of man scru-
uu]ously honest, who did his duty.
At that time Mr.. Burgess saw that
voting for the peoples choice gave
a chance for the machine to get in, so
he has always considered the State
ment not 50 much as an oath for a
man to take, Ey which he should be
bound, but more as statement OF
advice.
However. at the Primary election
the people of Oregon made it emphat-
ic by majority of rs percent that
they considered the statement bind
ing.
Az soon thereafter as was possible
Mr.. Burgess wrote out formal state
ment and deposited it with County
Clerk Sailing.
As an honest farmer, and an honest
man, there is not one right thinking
man in Oregon, believes "Newt" Bur
CESS will violate his pledge.
Mr.. Burgess has made his attitude
clear but if there is any Republican
4 voter who would like persona
A pledge, he has only to write to Mr.
Burgess to obtain it.
Mr.. Burgess is not, an Assembl.
man, although he is charged will
being one.
He is not an Assembly nominee bu
was the unanimous nominee for thu
farmers and business men of Umatill
county who are republican voters.
He is known from one end OF tn
4 county to the other. He is opposed e
the tactics of his opponent, DR.. Q. }

sistently misrepresented Umatlll
county
Mr.. Burgess is farmer and woo
grower. He is in favor Of good road
and will act accordingly. Althoug
his opponent voted for the Crate
= Lake national road and helped to vot
l $50, 900 for that road, he has neVf
done a thing to improve or better tn

Wrestler Hits Man bluch Smaller.

Claiming that he struck because he
was called a vile name, AL Chris
tensen, who has wrestled several
matches here and caTe to the city
from Globe, assaulted George Aldrich,
a small sized motorman on the Phoe-
nix electric last night, but up to
late hour this afternoon no complaint
had been lodged against Christensen,
though he is under a verbal promise
to appear at the police station this
afternoon at o'clock.
Two versions of the affair are given,
but in each of them the salient
feature is that Christensen, a power
full 200-pOund athlete, struck a man
of much smaller and not physically
anywhere near his equal.
Christensen and several companions
were riding in an automobile near
the corner of Center and Washington,
when the machine was struck by the
car in charge of Aldrich. The latter
says it was only after the driver of
the auto refused to get out of the
way, and Christensen says it was
without warning.
This much is certain, that the auto
party followed the car to Fourth
avenue, where Christensen boarded
the car and struck the smaller man
blow in the face that dazed him for
some time. Christensen says he
tapped him.
The Aldrich side of the story is
that Christensen purposely followed
him to make the assault, and Chris
Jensen declares that with the others
he went to get the number of the
motorman and the car.
Christensen says the car stopped at
Fourth avenue to let off lady in
pink dress, and that when the motor
man was asked his number he used a
vile epithet in reply.
Attorney L. H. Chalmers of the
Phoenix Electric this afternoon had
the matter of a complaint against
Christensen under consideration. 1t
is probable that one will be made.
Sympathy generally is with Motor
than Aldrich.

ARIZONA MUST ANSWER TO MEXICO
Arrest of Mexican Consul at Clifton
Subject of Investigation.

International complications are
threatened by the recent arrest of
the Mexican consul here on the
charge of kidna ping. The Mexican
government called upon the depart
ment of state at Washington for an
Knox brought the matter to the at
tention of Governor Sloan and re-
quested report.
Attorney General Wright came to
Clifton, where he made an inquiry
and will report to Governor Sloan.
Attorney General Wright has de-
clined to give any information as to
the nature of the report he will make
to the governor, explaining that it
was an official matter which he could
not discuss.
Gonzalo C. Enrile. the Mexican
consul here, was arrested upon
complaint sworn to by R. A. Camp
bell, justice of the peace at MetCalf.
The consul was charged with the
kidnapping of Felicia Vasquez,
young Mexican girl of seventeen
years, the oldest of five children of
Filberto Vasquez, who was killed in a
mining accident in this district.
Upon the death of their father
which followed not long after that of
their mother, the children lived with
their grandmother, but upon her
death they were left without any
guardian, and the Mexican consul
took them to the consulate to care
for them until he could arrange for
their transportation to Mexico,
where relatives of their parents
weae to take charge of them.
When the eldest of the children
went to arrange for the removal
of their household furniture to the
consulate, it is claimed by the Justice
of the peace that she informed him
that she and her brothers and sisters
were being sent to Mexico against
their will.
Later, Felicia Vasques, who was
student at the Tucson convent.
felt better satisfied about returning
to Mexico, and is now entirely salts
fed, according to report, that the
consul was acting for the best inter
est of herself and her brothers and
sisters.
The consul claims that he acted
throughout the entire case strictly
in accord with the Mexican laws
which makes it incumbent upon the
consular representatives OF that
country to care for orphan children
of Mexican parentage in a foreign
country. The Mexican government
provides transportation home for all
such persons.
When the case against the consul
was heard, the complaint was dis
missed, but it is not certain that his
government will allow the matter to
rest there.

New Operations in Lost GuIch District,
Arizona.

Globe, July 30.-There are rumors
that important development oper-
ations will shortly be started in the
Lost Gulch mining district. The
Lost Gulch gold placers were the
cause of the first mining excitement
in the Globe district. Rich boulders
of float quartz were found by the
early prospectors, but the active
hostility of the Apache Indians in
those days caused even the reckless
old timers to abandon the district,
and prospecting was confined to areas
Immediately surrounding the camp
of Globe. This prospecting resulted
in the discovery of the rich copper
silver bearing veins now owned and
worked principally by the Old Do
miuiou Copper Mining & Smelling
company.
A few years after the discovery of
the rich float. quartz at the head of
Lost Gulch, placer miners came in
and worked the creek bed for dis
tance of bout half a mile. The bed
is not very wide at any point, neither
is the gravel wash heavy, but at this
it is estimated that the gold produc-
tion reached $1,000, 0O0 With the
creek bed worked out, the placer
miners departed, making no attempt
to search for the original source of
the alluvial deposit. This is not
strange, as up until few days years
ago that has been the history of all
gold camps where the excitement
was first caused by placers.
About six years ago, however,
quartz miners began to move quickly
into the Lost Gulch district, and
claims were quickly taken
up. OF these claims the most
important may be named as the Glib
bons, or Casa mine, the Lost Gulch
Mining company, and the McAlpine-
RalstonNesbett group. The Casa
mine was opened to a depth of $50
feet and a small mill, which produced
1 great deal of money. Owing to
bad mining methods the shaft was al
lowed to cave and the work was stop
ped. This company has, however, re-

adinins the Casa mine spectacular
surface showing of any property in
the district. Some handsome ore
specimens have been taken from this
property. These specimens consist
of quartz gangue carrying free gold,
| galena, lead carbonate and iron
oxide, while scattered all through the
ore are beautiful yari-colored crys-
tals of vanadinite or lead vanadate.
Last year the owners shipped nine
teen tons of ore, taken from an in
cline prospect shaft, to the Ell Paso
smelter. This ore Melted them S642,

Crippen Will be Returned on AUGUST IS.

Probably not before August Is will
DR.. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel
Claire Leneve be taken aboard a
transatlantic liner bound for London
there to stand trial where they are
jointly accused of numbering the
woman believed to be Belle Elmore.
Criminal law of the British possess
ions esta blished this today when the
haggard dentist was arraigned before
a magistrate and remanded until
August s. The girl was too i'll to APP
pear but if her condition improves
she may be brought into court tomor-
row.
Crippen will not fight extradition.
OF the girls attitude less is known.
She is still broken in body and spirit
alternately shaking with sobs or
silently morose. Her relatives in
London are beseeching her by cable
to tell all, and the Quebec police are
treating her with gentleness.
Force through a curious crowd Grip
pen was taken before the provincial
court of special sessions where be
was formally questioned as to his
identity and notified he was under
arrest for the murder of an unknown
woman. Remanding him to August s
was purely prefunctory, as he and his
companion, under the fugitive Offend
ers' act must remau here at least
fifteen days. In right he was likely
to be remanded until the fifteenth,
and the first available vessel for Eng
land does not depart until three days
later. BY that time another Scotland
Yard detective will arrive bringing
the formal application for extradi-
ton, although this application is prob
ably not necessary in view of the &C
cused declaring he would not raise OBJ
structions.
Although Crippen was the center
of attraction, perhaps the most in
teresting development is the extreme
liberal treatment of Miss Lenenve by
the police. Like Crippep, she is ac-
cused of murder, but the girl enjoyed
freedom of the house of Police Chief
McCaI thy. When taken from. Jail it
was announced she was taken to a
hospital, but this proved incorrect.
She is back in Jail tonight under the
care of a physician, but visitors to
the chiefs house say they had a
glimpse of her walking about the yard
for d breath of air, under careful but
unobtrusive surveillance. Many peo-
pie believe the police are so markedly
lenieut with Miss Lenenye because
they not only pity her plight but be
lieve she is Crippen's dupe, and that
she may turn against him on the
witness stand. This is thu course her
London relatives are urging her to
take.
Crippen occupied the cell in the
provincial Jail on the heights Of the
city overlooking St. Lawrence River.
He might ask to have American couu-
sci notified or seek an attorney to in
sure that he gets fair treatment.
Consul Rich said today that while ne
stood ready to give Crippen all con-
