Senate Bill. Is In
 Grave Danger

A Washington dispatch says that while President Taft. Postmaster General Hitchcock and other friends of Arizona at the Capital are doing all in their power to get statehood for Arizona, the bill is in grave danger.
 It IS doubtful whether the senate bill containing the provision changing the election law passed by the las, Arizona legislature. can ever become lew ss 1t will be long and earnestly fought. both in the Senate and in conference.
 In many respects the Senate bill Is conceded by all to be the best bill. An effort may be made to amend the Hamilton bill to contain some of the best provisions of the Senate bill and to put the measure through in confer ence, but this will likely fail
 Congress will adjourn in another month and AS the remaining days of tine session g by, the chances for statehood become less.
