SIXTY FIVE MEN AR
RESTED IN CANANEA
Rifles To the Number of 100
Are Seized, Also Boxes of
Ammunition Troops Are
Ordered Overland from
Hermosillo.
AMMUNITION BOUGHT
UP ON THE QUIET

Naco, Arizona, June ls.--At Cananea
Sonora, Mexico, two days ago 50 men
were arrested secretcly at night in a
private rendezvous, and are now held
.incommunicado; nearly 100 rifles were
found and siezed, eases of 30.30 car
tridges have been confsticGted, and
troops are now on the road from Hermo.
sillo 10 Cananea.
The ostensible purpose of bringing
these soldiers is that they are needed
to fight the fire raging to the east of
the camp, but this view is not tenable
in the face of the fact that the troops
now in Cananea to the number of five
hundred are not being used for that
purpose, and the authorities seem to
fear TO move them.
\ man prominent as an anti-DiaZ
leader laughed when the fact that
troops had been ordered to Cananea by
Gen. Torres was told him. :" lie will
need all his troops in Hermosillo, more
than he will in Cananea," the man
said.
There has been considerable demand
for ammunition along the border towns,
inquiry bringing out that there are no
more cartridges of the popular sizes
for sale, but so quietly has this been
done that no one can point TO the pur.
chascrs.
Bisbee, Ari2., June ls.-Much com.
ment has been caused by the large
purchases of ammunition by strange Mex
leans in this county during the last
few days. Bisbee dealers state that
they have disposed of practically all
their guns and cartridges within two
days. The Copper Queen stores here.
at lowell and Douglas have also had
big sale of revolver and all other small
fire arms.

Statehood History
Statehood agitation in New Mexico
may be traced MS far back as 1850;
when follow ing what they believed to
be hint from the federal government,
in Taylor's administration, the people
elected delegates, held Il convention aud
adopted constitution at Santa Fe. The
constitution was submitted TO the peo.
pie and carried, ard state officers were
elected, with Henry Connolly as gov.
ernor.
Congress, however, nullifed the pro.
ceedings and placed New Mexico on II
territorial basis September o, 1850. In
the meanwhile, the state Legislature had
been elected and met, passing number
of acts, and electing two senators, but
il did no good
In 1873 "A historic incident deprived
New Mexico of statehood, just as the
territory was on the eve of admission

stephen B. Elkins, now senator from
West Virginia, after securing n neces.

support of the southerners by openly
congratulating Representative Burrows
of Michigan in speech which anrcrcd
the southern statesmen, Mr.. Elkins hav.

the nature of the address.
A statehood memorial laid before con

1875 failed of effect, as have all simi.
lar ones since, until this year. In 1906
the famous joint statehood proposition
was adopted by New Mexico, but turn.

was product of the brain Of senator
Beveridge of Indiana. The territories
have been backed in their fight by pres-
dents Roosevelt and Taft and the pres.
ent executive has maintained firm

fulhllment Of a party pledge.
