MADISON. Wis. June 23.-Not only is Senator Robert M. La Fol lette to be read out of the republi. can party in Wisconsin, but the or ganization which he has laboriously built up is to be discredited in the national convention two years hence
 Such. at least. appears the pur pose of the so-eaied Taft republicans who met in Milwaukee in conference and appointed a state committee with authority to perpetnate it's elf. II s generally understood among thoss ''on the inside" that the commits. win quietly work for recognition n' the national convention, and as th, committee ia all likelihood will D. controlled by the Taft forces. it worlc seem as if little trouble would be ez perienced along that line.
 But 1t is thin ice on which the so called Taft republicans are skating just now and to many it appears IS ff the conference which they digniaed by the name of convention had been ill-timed and a mistake.

DEMAND REFORM IN
 CATCHING STRAY DOCS.

DOUGLAS, June 24.-(SpeciaI.) )-
 A quiet agitation for changes in the methods of enforcing the dog Iicens- ing ordinances and collecting the H. cense fees has been noticeable for several days past Citizens do not like to see boys engaged in roping stray dogs. and still further object to seeing and hearing the animals dragged whining or bowling through
 the streets to the dog pound. They claim that this Is encouraging cruelty
 in the boys and causes needless sui fering to the animals. Another quar- ter where the change is sought Is by the city officials. Marshal Igo con siders the present method of collect ing the dog licenses inadequate and unsatisfactory. lie believes that many are keeping their dogs conceal ed at his time to avoid the payment of licenses and will later. when the campaign against stray and untagged animals shall end. again permit them to run at large. Besides this the ones who pay and purchase tags

TRAiNLoAD OF CHINESE
 TO BE DEPoRTED.

TUCSON. June, 24.-Traveling in special train like Chinese mandarins visiting the United States, four car loads of Chinese sentenced to deport- ation from San Francisco will arrive here Sunday morning from Fl Paso on their way to the coast, and will be joined by a carload from Tucson un. der Marshal Overlook
 Besides the five cars of Chinamen there will be a Pullman for the Unit ed States Marshals and their deputies who will accompany the train.
 The only inconvenience in the train will be that no dining car will be attached for the officers, and they will be compelled to cook. their own meals on a cook stove with which the train is equipped. The monotony of the official deit will be relieved however, by heavy meals before leav- ing Tucson and again at Los Angles.
 Ire entire body of Chinamen will be shipped from San Francisco on June 2S on board the Siberia. and they will arrive at their destination in Hong Kong a month and a day later.

JUDGE FALL POINTS OUT THE
 UNJUST FEATURES OF BILL

FL PASO. June 23.-Judge Albert B. Fall. former attorney general and one Of the leading figures in New Mexico politics. although he is mak- ing his home in Fl Paso at present; thinks that the present statehood bill which has just passed congress and has been signed by the presi- dent. is the best the territory can get at present and as such. must be accepted by the people of New Mex leo. although there are number Of objectionable features in the bill. Oae of these cited by Judge Fall is the qualification for holding state offices. This Is to the effect that anyone elected to once must be able to speak the English language. There is no danger Of anyone being elected to state o1ce fin New Mexico who cannot speak English Judge Fall said. yet the people feel that the paragraph Is a slight on them and is unnecessary. The same is true of the educational qualification that En- glish must be taught in the schools Enelish has been taught in the schools for years and has been re quired by the compulsory education law since 1891 These seem unneo- essary and out of place in such bill as much so as they would in the constitution of any other state.

SUPPLY IF TIES
 NOW AT BENSON
PHOENIX THINKS THIS IS PROOF OF soUTHWESTERN's PLANS OF EXTENSION.

PHOENIX, June 23-In the Fl Paso and Southwestern yards al Benson there is evidence that the company is intending to build their proposed extension along the San Carlos river as soon as the location survey is complete, which is given out will be the case by the middle part of July. Last week four carloads of ties were unloaded by this company at the end of their line, or where it connects with the Southern Pacific in the east end of the Benson yards. The sentiment seems to prevail that the Southwestern means business and will build up the San Pedro river With this being the case this will make Benson a better railroad point than ever and the pulling of all Rock Island passenger and freight trains will be over the Southwestern from Fl Paso and north to connection with
 the Santa Fe at Phoenix and from
 there to the coast.

VOTERS WILL NOT BE
 SWORN AT PRIMARY
NO LONGER HAVE TO DECLARE ALLEGIANCE TO ANY PARTY NOMINEES.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, June A. -rrose good democrats in Bexar county who have been in the habit of doing things to the democratic ticket will be able to continue doing SD after having had a very narrow e.cape from taking an oath to the effect that they were democrats and voted for the purpose of upholding tbe democratic ticket. The oath and possible perjury charge are or as the result of action taken by the Bexar County democratic executive committee. which will coDtine the declaration of the voter to a plain statement of fact as prescribed by the Terrell election law. Instead of swearing to the following: "I am a democrat and pledge myself to sup port the nominee of the party" the voter will merely look at the words as printed at the head Of the ticket, make his crosses and generally please himself
 The idea to make every voter take an oath as to his political afflia tions and intentions originated with some of the members of the commit tee some time ago. At recent ses sion. however, the plan was defeat ed. for the reason that it did no seem to have the sanction of tho constitution Bexar county demo crats usually accused of being re publicans incog, will now have al opportunity to do as hitherto.

the bill which say that 80 and so
 must be done and these clauses are
 irreyocable hereafter. This does not
 put the people of New Mexico on an equality with the people Of other states. for no such restrictions ever
 entered into the constitutions of any other states The voters resent this, for there is no more reason that this should be done with New Mexico
 than any other state in the Union.
 Then. the way in which the constitu-
 ton must be approved by both the president and congress is another ob- jectionable feature The constitution
 to be adopted by the constitutional convention must first be submitted 10 the president for his approval. If 1t
 meets his approval 1t is then submit ted to congress and if congress eith- CT approves it or does not disapprove t. the president will then issue 6 proclamation declaring New Mexico a state and calling for a state elee- ton to select the officers No other state ever came into the Union under such conditions. If the provisions of the present statehood bill are adopt ed and later the people wish to hold a constitutional convention 10 amend it, it would be necessary to go to congress and get its permission to hold the convention. a thing no other state is required to de-

are paying a tax which he believes many others are avoiding. To obvi ate these conditions change in the ordinances is proposed whereby i; will be the owner and not the dos who will be punished for failure oi such owner to live up to the city IL eensing ordinance. At the presen; time the only redress against ths owner is forfeiture of the animal with an opportunity to redeem it ol payment of license fee. More strin. gent remedies are what are needed IS the claim.
 The proposition made for a change in the dog licensing system is based on scheme that was first tried n Kansas City. Kan. was then taken up in the big city across the river and is now in vogue in nanv cities including Tucson. This plan provides for the appointment Of a dog in sDector who visits each house and iF prepared to receive license fees an' issue the tags at once. When a dog owner finds it incon-enient at that time to pay the tax he or she is giv. en a limited period. say ten days or two weeks. to appear at the mar. shal's office ard pay the license fee which brings receipt to owner and tag for dog. In case. however, the license is not paid within the re quired time then the dog inspector arrests the owner. who is fined in court an amount greater than the amount of the license. At that time license may be taken out. other wise an officer calls and shoots the unlicensed animal The ordinance must first provide that the harbor Il ing of an unlicensed dog shall be . nuisance within the terms of the city laws.
 The advocates of this plan claim that thus the nuisance of chasing ant
 maIs about the city will be abated that all will pay licenses or will noi harbor dogs. that CUTS and mongrels will disappear from the city and that the work Of city officials will be ex
 pedited and made much easier, and lit is proposed to bring up the pro
 posed change at the next meeting o
 the city council.

 It is common gossip in political circles that the governor has prom ised U. G. Humphreys. leader Of the anti-saloon forces. that he will sign county option bill any time such 8 measure is passed by the legislature. Behind this promise lies more than appears on the surface During the Taft convention there were many who wanted to indorse candidates As a matter of fact. such was the original purpose of the call. But when it was discovered that there was a large number of delegates self-appointed to be sEre, who wanted to indorse Governor Davidson fol another term. the trouble began. The liquor people demanded the indorse ment of E. T Fairchild. if any can didate was to be indorsed. and hold ing more than a balance Of power with the assistance of w D.

GLOBE June 23.-Fire which broke out Sunday morning in tue Crook National Forest completely de- stroyed all vegetation on more than 2o00 acres of the best timber land of the Pinal mountains. l. is sup posed to have originated in the camp of prospecters on the north slope of the range.
 Owing to a strong wind from the northwest it was found impossible to check the flames until they had swept to the crest of the mountains. Ranger Taylor, assisted by other members of the force and by six boys from the Pinal probation camp, fought the flames with back fires and | embankments for more than twelve hours Several old landmarks, includ- ing the giant pine which has been a land mark to prospectors for many years. were destroyed. This tree could he seen for miles. and its de. struction could be plainly witnessed from Globe.

 This is believed to be a strategic move on the part of the Southern Pacific to get unquestionable control of the narrow gorge a f CIV miles above Mammoth. passable only on the Southern Pacific's side of the river.
 IL is constructed as the opening of a sontest between the two railroads for the control of the traffic of the San Pedro valley, the Salt River Val ley, and the west bound traffic from Fl Paso to the coast
