UPHELD
 IN SENATE DEBATE
SENATOR BURTON SUPPORTS RE-
 cIPRocITY BILL.
He Oppose Any Attempt at Amend
 ment.

Washington, D. C., July 5.-The the Canadian reciprocity agreement, to send it in a completed form to congress for enactment, and to de- fend and advocate it in stump speech es throughout the country. was as serted in the senate today by Senator Burton of Ohio, at the conclusion of a speech in support of the measure
 Senator Burton urged that the agreement notwithstanding the power of congress to change it, be passed without amendment He said it un- dOubtedly did not please everybody; that probably it had never occurred tO President Taft or the Canadian commissioners when it was to be com pleted
 MT. Burton emphasized that those who based their objections to the agreement on the ground that the farmer would suffer injury. virtually were fighting for higher duties for the farmer. He said no injury to the farmer could follow the removal of duties on farm products, except in certain localities along the border.
 To keep the duties at the present figure. he said. would be to place the consumer at the mercy of a short market and rising prices when the time arrives that American produc- tion is not equal to American con sumption.

 ITO our venerable brother. DiOmede,

 tolic delegate to the United States
 Of America:
 venerable BrOther:-Health and apostolic benediction. We are happy tO learn from you that in the United States of America under the leader ship of men enjoying the highest au- thority with the people the more ju- dicious members of the community are fervently desirous of attaining the advantages of international peace
 'To compose differences. to restrain the outbreak of hostilities. to prevent the dangers of war. to remove even the anXieies of so-called armed peace. is indeed. most praiseworthy and any effort in this cause. even although it may not immediately or wholly ac- complish it's purpose. manifests. nev- ertheless. a zeal which cannot but rebound to the credit of it's authors. and be of benefit to the state
 This is especially true at the pres en day when vast armies. instrumen- talities most destructive to human life. and the advanced state of mili- tary science portend wars which must be a source of fear even to the pow erful rulers. Wherefore. we must heartily commend the work already begun which should be approved by all good men and especially by us holding, as We do. the supreme pom tificate of the church. and represent ing Him who is both the God and. the Prince of Peace; and we most gladly lend the weight of our author ity to those who are striving to real ize this most beneficent purpose.
 For we do not doubt that the same distinguished men possess so much ability and such wisdom in affairs of state will construct in behalf of a struggling age a royal road for na- tions leading to peace and conciliation in accordance with the laws of justice and charity which should be sacredly observed by all"

The loss of more than five hundred lives Is ito be credited to the great heat wave of July to .. 1911. which official wea- ther advices say will abate somewhat tomorrow.
 The torrid period will be memorable fin weather anuaIs for its wide extent. it's long duration. its record breaking temperatures and the long list of fatalities which it caused.

 SHAMELESS BattIeship Main Destroyed By Interior Explosion MAGAZINES BLOWN UP.
General Bixby, in Charge, Says Such Devastation as Has Already Been Dis closed Could Not Have Been Caused from Within
 Dead can Not be Found.

Washington, July 6.-The loss of the battleship Maine was caused by the eXplO- sion of her three magazines. No such effect as that pro- duced upon the vessel could have been caused by an eX- plOsiOn from without.
 Such is the opinion of General William fl. Bixby, chief of engineers, U. $. A., who has returned from a personal inspection of the work of raising the Maine.
 General BiXby said that a portion of the deck over the magazines was blown upward and laid backward and there were conditions of the hulk which proved that no explosion from the outside could have caused the same result.
 What the primary cause of the explosion was," said General BiXby, "never will be learned"
 General BiXby does not believe the bodies of those who lost their lives will be found on the Maine. He says they are probably buried in the mud POO feet or more from the wreck. While inspecting the wreck General BiXby proceeded around the bow. He found by his soundings that at least two-thirds of the bow was absolutely wrecked. The sides had been practi- cally blown away and were buried in the mud. This, he. said, showed conclusively that the wreck of the Maine was caused by an explosion. within the vessel.

Booth is here with a host of friends
 Friends are confident Herrick will win the $2OOO in gold and the 5000 Tevis trophy. the handsomest prize ever offered for a motor race in the west.
 Thirty thousand excited spectators are in Bakersfield tonight and lobbies of the hotels are buzZing with the gossip of the contest It Is conceded that a Los Angeles driver will win the big event and there is a possibility that the light car race vii also be won by an outsider. though the rivalry in this race will be keen.
 The China grade Is one of the most dangerous hills ever chosen for a fast race. On this climb the contest will undoubtedly be lost or won. The dri- Yer who goes into the hill or the high and hangs to his fast speed the longest will have the chance to race into the speedway at from eighty to ninety miles an hour.
 George Purdy Bullard of Phoenix vas chosen as the official starter to- night He takes the place of Starter George Adair and he will send the first car away in the light event at : o'clock tomorrow morning This light race should be over by o'clock The hills will be lined with spectators long before the start.
 Judging from the preparations be- ing made tonight. many are camping out on the course Every hotel in Bakersfield is filled. and as the tour ists arrive. space is taken on the van tage points along the course and the night will be spent in the open.

 on the main street of Phoenix they wended two or three blocks. when Ramon suddenly pointed out about the seediest looking Mexican in sight and said: He man" And down in the tanks the man was placed. pro testing all the while that he knew nothing of the alleged offense.

 Not long after his incarceration two other MeXicans appeared at the police station, tall men of good appearance and address.
 "Is Figueora here?" one of them asked.
 He was assured that such man was in durance vile, accused of sell ing liquor to an Indian.

 And they went on to trace his course almost hour by hour and min ute by minute from the time he left Mexico until the time that he left the reclamation work, where he was em- ployed, above Glendale, with his friends to come to town. leaving there only a few hours before he was ar rested, and being with them all the intervening time until he separated from them long enough to be arrested by the policeman, at the Indians in stance.
 The two friends were taken down below, where the Indian and Figueroa were, and the Indian was asked ifl either of the friends was the man who sold him the liquor He said No" Then he was asked again if FiguerOa was the man who sold him the liquor. "No," he said; it big man."

 Conditions unusual. except in a war or in a plague stricken area. marked the large cities today. In Philadelphia the morgue keeper noti- fled the coroner that he would have to find a new place to put the bod ies of those dead from heat or other causes, because the morgue was full.
 A corps of police ambulances in Chicago could not take care of the prostrations and in some instances. the stricken were taken to hospitals in express wagons.
 A report that corn tasSels in the great Illinois fields had changed from white to green caused flurries and wild excitement in Chicago and st Louis markets, driving corn up as much as five cents in a few minutes The market later steadied itself

One is that the winner is Her rick. the winner of last years Los Angeles Phoenix road race. Also. many Of the competitors in the race are we'll known here as road race en- trants. Another reason is that George PuTdy Bullard, president of the Mari copa county automobile club. acted as starter in the races Concerning the races. the Los Angeles Times in dispatch the night before. says:

 Harvey Herrick. in the National and Bert Dingley. on the Pope Hart ford. are the favorites in the big car race which will start tomorrow morn ing at o'clock.
