rooms above the Kentucky saloon on
Alakea street.
Shortly afterwards, the door was
broken in and he was found gasping
for breath on the floor. The police
were sent for and the man was rushed
to the hospital but he died on the way.
An inquest was held last night, result
ing in a verdict of suicidal death. Lit
tie is known about the man. He was
living alone and search of his room
by Chief McDuffie failed to reveal any
clue to his reasons for taking his own
life.
The body was taken to Williams

will be cared for by his brother car
penters.
From what can be learned from the
arrangement of the furniture in the
room the man seated himself in the
president s chair in the main room. and

and one on his forearm. He did moi

REFORMS AT ONCE
No Concessions to the
Rebels in the
Field.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 3D.
Minister LimAntour, in an interview
yesterday, admitted that his investiga-
tions Of Affairs snce his arrival from
abroad had convinced him that Mexico
is facing a greater crisis than he had
believed existed. Not only was the
revolution in the north much more ok
tended than the reports sent him had
led him TO believe, but he had found
that discomfort, rebellion and sedition
prevailed to very alarming degree
throughout the southern States of tho
Republic.
He declared that the government
would commence at once on the inau-
guration of numerous reforms to allay
the dissatisfaction prevalent through
out the land, among the first reforms
to be announced to be revision Of the
election laws.
On the other hand, the government
was determined to offer no concessions
to the revolutionists in the field and to
make no suggestion of any acceptance
of their terms for ending the revolu-
ton.

10000 Armed Rebels.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Dr. Fran
cisco Gomez, leader of the Washington
junta of the insurrectionists in Mexico,
delivered a general defiance Of the
Mexican government this afternoon just
before he departed for Washington. DR..
Gomez, who has been here several days
in consultations with Gustav Madero,
said:
''The revolutionists viii lay down
their arms only when their demands
are granted. If the demands are not
granted we shall continue to fight to
the death. We are not worried over
the presence Of United States troops in
| Texas.
"We, that is, the insurreetionists,
think that the movement of troops is
directed against Mexico as well as to
the smuggling of arms, and is not pure
ly directed against the insurgents. The
government is now realizing the serious
ness of the insurgent movement and
the whole country is thoroughly
alarmed.
"There are 10000 men under arms in
twenty States out of thirty-one States
fighting for the insurgent cause. In ad-
4 dition to our physical strength, actually
in the field, we have many American
men in high places who are not only
sympathizing with us in our struggle,
but are aiding us with resources"

A Simple Scheme.

Like all great inventions. Postmaster General Hitchcocks solution of the magazine postage problem appears to be exceedingly simple.
 The scheme is. simply, for the government to ship magazines by fast freight instead of fast mail trains. It is figured that at most the dli- ference in time of delivery will not he more that two or three days, and the saving will be enormous. It is est- mated that in the shipment of maga- zines to St Louis, for example, the government will save ss0O,oO0 a year
 If the plan had been thought oi sooner. what world of bad temper on the part of the magazine pup fishers. the postoffice department. ana congress would have been avoided.

The McNamars Case.

American common sense is bound To class as absurd the attitude taken by the labor organizations Of Salt Lake City which on Wednesday ad- opted resolutions "condemning the manner in which the McNamara brothers, accused of complicity in the Los Angeles Tims dynamiting outrage, were arrested
 These men were apprehended and taken from Indiana to California under a process which has been upheld by the supreme court of the United States. To have delayed their re- movaI from Indiana long enough to give them an opportunity to ap- ply for release under a writ of habeas corpus whould have made it inpossi- bIe to take John J. McNamara to California, since technically he was not a fugitive" inasmuch as he had not been in California
 No honest citizen will say that John McNamara ought to escape pun isbment if he is guilty. Every honest citizen demands for him a fair trial and will wish for his prompt acquittal

TAKING OF OATHS.

There has been Of late some discus sion and agitation looking tO the abo- lition of oaths as now required by law on affidavits. customs house declara- tiOns. tax returns, on the assumption of various officers. says the Cincinnati Enquirer The general position taken by those advocating the change is that a mans simple word should be as sacred and inviolable as when oathbound; that the oath in reality adds nothing to the obligation to tell the truth: that the penalty now at tached to false swearing could be made applicable tO all statements or testi- mony where oaths are now excited. and that it is only the superstitious and the ignorant who are deterred from falsehoOds by being sworn.
 It Is true that many people will tell the truth just as exactly without the sanction of an oath as with it. and d0 not believe that any greater guilt at taches to legal perjury. or that any severer extra legal penalty will follow upon plain lying. but it is also true that q very large proportion of those who are called upon to testify in courts regarding statements made under oath in very different light from an ordinary assertion and will tell the truth when the otherwise would not. It would be a hindrance to justice to have the oath abolished. and if we are going to get rid of it 1t must be done gradually

Of Interest to School District, City
 and County.

In letter which we print thls morning, Mr L. n. Civille suggests a comprehensive scheme of public improvement The plan proposed is for the city and the county to sell
 the city hall plaza and the court house plaza. respectively. and with
 the proceeds purchase from the city school district the central block and erect thereon q public building for county and city purposes-the school district. on its part, being thereby enabled to erect additional school
 buildings which would meet all re quirements for many years. The two
 plazas on Washington street. if sold, would of course be improved in due course by the construction thereon of business blocks.
 These suggestions will no doubt have the approval of many citizens. A long step toward making Phoenix really modern city would be accOmp- nshed by converting the two Washing ton street plazas into buisness blocks; the public would get the benefit of commodious and modern public build ing in place of the dilapidated court house and city hall buildings, and the school district would be placed in a position to provide admirable school buildings for the needs of the large city which Phoenix will be in a few years.
 We do not know what legal ob structions. if any. would he found in the way of selling the two plazas mentioned.
 As we explained yesterday, public meeting of the electors of the school district has been called for the even ing of next Friday. for the purpose Of instructing the trustees in respect Of sale of the Central block. If the advice of the trustees is accepted by the meeting. it will authorize the trustees to sell the block for the best price obtainable within four months but in any case at not less than Sl50.- OOO-and this plan would afford ample time for carrying out the suggestions made by our correspondent in case | they have the approval of the com munity

A Word for the Birds

A reader Of The Republican has urged us to say something by way of admonition to the boys who make practise of killing birds He in forms us that there appears to be an organized effort by some boys to destroy as many birds and as many bird nests as possible: and he makes the surprising statement that boys belong ing to the Boy Scout" organization are responsible for much of the van ton slaughter.
 Ii may be that some Of the Boy Scouts think it shows manly and soldierIy qualities to kill birds, but we feel sure that many other boys condemn the idea. There is nothing manly in taking the life of any creat- ure. on the contrary. real manly qual- tiles are shown in regard for animal as well as human life. In order for one to enjoy the killing of birds there must he hardening Of the heart which is discreditable to either men or boys. It denotes savagery. not civilization.
 And apart from these facts, there is a very substantial reason why all birds should be protected. They des- troy predatory insects. and are the best friends the farmer and the gard ener have in the animal world.
