Convention in Chaos. By J. v. VanEaton.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 11.-"Gen- tlemen, I trust that any fear of a shortage of patronage pap in the treasury of Arizona will not cause my deIhocratic brethren in this con stitutional convention undue uneasi ness.
 Speaking in all sincerity, and speaking for myself and my colleague: as well, I wish to state that wt stand ready and willing to donate any mileage which may be coming to us as delegates towards any shortage which may occur"

petty patronage tune alone. There had not been, and has not been to the closing of the second day of the convention a single proceeding sug- gestive of any purpose on the part of the democratic majority other than wild scramble to fasten their teeth on the patronage bone. The commit tee on finances was superflously childish, inasmuch as the enabling act has provided for the expenses of the convention on a most generous basis. And in addition Secretary Young mad assured the mob of del . gates that thh funds were plentiful for all the legitimate expenses of a sixty days session. But the bone is in plain view. The chamber gallery swarms with pap suckers from all parts of the territory. The dignity of the body, to date has been l sight of altogether. Evidently prom 1 ises galore have been made in advance and the little army of the promised are nere awaiting the signal to enter the Promised Land.
 If there is any dignified Demo cratic conservatism in the body as sembled to frame fundamental law for a great state, thus far it has not been in evidence. The conduct of Ellinwood to date has been one which leads to the unbiased conclus ion that he regards the whole thing as a joke. The position of the eleven Republican members mas been one of observing silence. On the face of things it looks like the Republicans and the very few conservative Demo ocrats in the body, are utterly help less.
 The composition of the variou, committees indicates that the ultra radicals are in the saddle and pro pose to make the most of it. They boast of it on the streets. They stay up late of nights and freely express to anyone who gathers tc listen that the Democratic party i, in complete control and that Taft and his ideas on a fundamental Con stitution may go to pot. The al important committee of thirteen, tC suggest the standing committees which shall largely rule the con ventiOn proceedings, was made up oi ultra-radicals entirely, with the ex ception of the three Republican mem bers, Kingan, Curtiss and Hutchin son. Cochise named as its represent ative on this committee R. B. Sims the Douglas man, who, with A. F Parsons, was openly fought at tn, polls by the Conservative Democrats of the Shelter City.
 In fact, it was plain from tn, beginning of the convention proceed ] ings, that ultra-radicals are to hay,

BIG SHEEP DEAL
 CLOSED HERE YESTERDAY
(From Fridays Daily.)

Will kins of Dewey for the sum of $16,- 300. Included in the deal is a vast amount of personal property MT. Young says that he will retire from the industry in this county.
 The flocks range in the Mingus Mountains and along Ash Creek. As enumerated there are 3,7O0 ewes, l. 600 lambs, 90 bucks, 200 goats, 3 horses, 46 burros, 36 pack saddles, tents and other camp outfits.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. F. - Al though the Standing Committees will be appointed tomorrow it is unlikely the Constitutional convention will get down to business for a day or two, as the Committee on Rules as yet failed to agree on the method of pro- cedure, still debating whether the proposed initiative or referendum or recall should come first.
 Today's session was enlivened by Winsor's effort to have the pay of the chaplain cut to S2 a day and that of the pages reduced from S5 to some like figure, which failed of adoption.
 Morris Goldwater of Yavapai caused a laugh by moving his own dismissal as a member and appoint ment as a page. Pages receive S1 per day more than the members of the convention under the enabling act, as they receive but s4.
 It is understood that President Hunt will give the majority all the important committees and avoid the Progressives.
 The Democratic majority controll- ing the Constitutional convention will probably hold no more eaucusses but fight out on the floor all issues involving the drafting of the Con. stitution. The initiative and ref. erendum and recall are now assured of some Republican support. Two of the minority have announced their intention of voting for direct legis- lation.

By Staff Correspondent.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 13.-"Grab everything in sight and to hell with the State and its future.'
 That seems to be the motto of the Democratic majority in the eonven- tion gathered to frame a funda- mental law which shall admit Ari- zona to the tremendous benefits of Statehood.
 Four days have been absolutely frittered away. On no single day have the convention proceedings oe- cupied over an hour of actual time. On Monday, Mulford Winsor, the treasury watch dog from Yuma, who fought Hunt to the last ballot for the presidency, and switched the Yuma delegation of three only when the last ray of hope mad filtered through the glass of destiny, pre- dieted that the convention would not last over thirty days.
 On this, the fourth day, not one word is heard than that the eonven- tion will last the full sixty days al lowed under the enabling act. One also hears a great deal about the individuality of allowing the Con- stitution to go before the present Senate and House,' but to so shape conditions that the Constitution shall not reach Congress until one year from December.
 No less a radical parsonage in the convention than Feeney of Bisbee, a power in the ultra-Radieal forces in control, is outspoken in his view that the Constitution should go over for year. The idea, of course, is that the next House of Representatives will be Democratic and the complex ion of the Senate so changed that the only danger an ultra-Radieal Constitution will have to face will be President Taft. It is no uncommon thing to hear the President berated as a weak-kneed executive who will not "have the nerve,' as two of the COchise delegation put it, to oppose any document that may be put up to him.
 How firmly the Radicals are en- trenched, and to what extent they propose to go is indicated by the complexion of some of the commit tees. How President Hunt has seem ingly played into the hands of the corporations and moneyed interests and betrayed Prohibition, of which he has posed as a champion, is clear. ly indicated in the complexion of other committees. For instance:
 One of the most important com mittees is that on private corpora tiOns and banks. The chairman of that committee, c. NJ. Roberts of Cochise, is declared to be a stock holder in the bank at Wilcox. The other members of the committee are EllinwoOd of Cochise, whose corpora tion affiliations need no rehashing here; J. J. Keegan of Gila, the only salOonkeeper in the conventions; Nor ris Goldwater, heavily interested in banks at Prescott; Dr. A. NJ. Tut hill, a bank stoekholder in Graham county; E. A. Tovrea, Bracey Cur tiss, Republican banker at Nogales and Judge Wells of Prescott. The committee is practically made up of

 Juan Rodriguez and Eseal Vanito- the two Mexieans who were arrested Monday by Deputy Sheriff Keeler for selling whiskey to Indians on the grade of the Territorial highway near Groom Creek, were turned over 10 the custody of the United States Marshal yesterday. Later a deputy from Tucson will arrive, when for nal complaint will be filed and their examinations held before United States Commissioner Moore.
 Since the arrests, it is said that the traffic in liquor on the highway has been going on at an alarming rate for several months, causing con siderable trouble among the Indians engaged in work. It is also stated that when Rodriguez and Vanito were suspected, a watch was placed at night in an Indian camp, and the men were caught in the act of de- hvering the two bottles, and iE re- eeiving pay for the same.
 It is the intention of the eontrae tors to keep a vigilant lookout for violations of the Federal whiskey laws, in which hundreds of dollars have been received for an inferior article at an exorbitant price.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 13. Ap- parently Hunt tried to play petty politics in his committee appoint ments today. He is avowedly a can didate for Governor.

Radicals Get Plums.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 13. - The appointments made today for Con stitutional committees verified the predictions that the principal assign ments would go to the Radicals only. While there are several attorneys among the delegates, none received important assignments. The chair man of the Labor Committee is a miner; the head of the Elections committee is a sheepman; the chair man of the committee which will have charge of the liquor question is a eattleman. The Prohibitionists de- clare they have two members of the committee pledged, and there is eer- tain to be a minority report if the committee rejects the proposal for the submission of a state wide amend ment. The Wowan Suffragists were in evidence today, and began an individual campaign among the mem bers.
 The Committee on Rules will re- port tomorrow. The convention will then begin the actual work of Con stitution making.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct 14-After four days spent in formulating rules of procedure under which to draft the Constitution, the committee re. l'orted today. Efforts made to have them adopted were immediately op- posed on the ground that careful consideration was desired.
 The report was ordered printed and probably will be adopted at the opening session tomorrow.
 The rules are lengthy, but eonsid- cred sufficiently elastic to give the greatest latitude and preclude ex. cess of power of any faction.
 A resolution providing the first introduction of the proposal tomor. row was tabled, but may be reeonsid- cred, as it is planned to adopt the preamble drafted today by the com mittee.

PEACEMAKER GOT
WORST OF SCRAPE

Silas Adams tried at II o'clock last
night to stop Noah Goodman from
beating Fronie Fuller. The result
was that Adams, the peacemaker,
showed up at the police station if
teen minutes later with a cash ten
inches in length nhis chest, three
slasheS on his neck, and two bad
cuts on one of his hands. Bleeding
freely, he sank into a chair at the
station, waiting for the arrival of the
city physician. Il saw that niger

him. Then he turned on me and be-

The Niger who done it is a one

and he got one thumb cut off, said
the woman, Fronie Fuller, when try

Yes, we seed him go up stairs and
tried to get police after him. but

man who showed up in the double

TO DISPOSE OF
JAIL QUESTION

A special meeting of the hoard of
county commissioners has been call
ed for Tuesday night of this week,
when it is proposed to take final ac-
ton on the county jail question. APP
proval of both the city electrician and
plumbing inspector have been secur-
ed to the. wiring and plumbing plans.
and the city building inspector has
conditionally approved the general
building plans.
Nothing now stands in the way of
work starting. The contracting firm
will be ready, it was stated officially
last night, to report upon those "ex-
tras," whatever they are, and the
concrete structure is now in fair
shape of being entirely approved. Adj
vertisement for period of thirty
days will be made for a bid for both
plumbing and wiring, but pending the
expiration of that time, the old build
ing will be removed, excavation start
ed and material for the preliminary
work assembled.

did just the opposite from the com.
mand, for they ran in an endeavor to
escape in the darkness. Three shots
rang out from Officer Murphy's pistol,
but if anything, that only served to
increase the speed of the black men.
Captain Frank chased after one of the
three and caught him. He gave his
name as Henry Goldsmith, and said
that he had been to some party's
house, in the rear of the empty lot.
He was charged with being a danger
Gus and suspicious character, and was
sentenced to thirty days on streets by
the recorder. Another negro named
Elwood Hays, was arrested in connec-
ton with this affair and charged with
being a dangerous and suspicious

why:
The town, with its fine location at

actually brought them here in the re-
cent Hoo Hoo convention.
Once here, George Hervey made
them stay by reason of the kind of
hospitality Pensacola's AL hotel man
hands out, and together with Mr.. Lii
lard Admiral Young and others sue
ceeded in entertaining them royalty.
Then, they liked the way The jour.
nal people talked about them, after
the trip across the bay and so on, was
all over.
Said Mr.. Bronson: There is abso.
lutely nothing too good for Pensacola,
nor dts fine set of people. Things look
especially good to us-and George
Hervey and his new hotel absolutely
can't be beat. He treats you white. B"

Pensacola hotels.
That's why haven't been here any
more often than l could decently
help. I can't say enough about the
new boom on things in Pensacola, and
the San Carlos has certainly opened
the way.
"As for Northumberland, you
ought to have heard George Hervey's
and Admiral Young's stories yester-
day across the bay-and the address
of your Mr.. Lillard. I'm going to stay
in Pensacola this time just as long as

It must be fearful, when you come
