POWER COUNTY
BILL DEFEATED
Killed to Force Republicans
10 Refute Platform.
4 Combination Formed Backed by
the Republican Caucuses Work
cd Defeat For the Power
County Bill.

The Power county bill was IL.
definitely postponed in the senate
| Yesterday afternoon. For several
days the defeat was certain and
ssrong efforts were made to induce
REPRESENTATIVE Burrell to let it die
IN committee. He would not listen te
this. however, stating that he would
compel the senators who had broken
faith with him to go on record.
The Power county bill had stren-
uous existence. 1t was passed by tn
house about the middle of the ses-
sion with only nine votes against it
and was conceded to have more me
It behind it than any other county
measure passed at this session.
It is the victim of the selfishness
of the republican leader of the SEN
ate and the cowardice of the demo-
cratic governor. Senator Gooding
wants a part of the territory to
divide Lincoln county with two year
from now and Governor Hawleybart-
cred away the rights of our people
rather than to go on record against
a railway commission bill. In order
to get enough votes to kill the COM
mission bill it was agreed to kill
the Power county bill, the governor
standing behind the agreement with
his veto if necessary.
Strong pressure was brought to
bear on the governor to get him to
recede from his position, and it is
said with some prospects of success,
but the strength to pass the bill
could not be mustered. On each oc-
cassion when the bill seemed to
have mustered strength enough to
pass it was made an issue in the
republican caucus and majority
arrayed against it. The democratic.
state organization was against the
creation of the county for the rea-
son that by defeating the county bill
they secured votes enough to defeat
the rail road commission bill and
keep the governor from being en-
barraesed.
Representative Burrell has labor
ed faithfully and effectively. The
fact that he was able to secure the
necessary two thirds majority to
suspend the rules Of the house and
the section Of the state constitution
requiring bills to be read on three
seperate days, was great compn-
ment to him, and it was said that
no other member could have done so
He has more friends than any other
member of that body and the feeling
Is general that he has been very un-
Justly treated.
Effective work has been done by
L L. Evans, D. w. Davis and w.
H. Philbrick in assisting Mr.. Bur-
rell, but they could not overcome
the jack knife swapping tendencies
of the enemies of the measure.

Breaks jail at Pocase1lo

Richard Clayton, who was bound
over in justice court here som
time ago for the robbery of the
Ellsberry store, broke from the
county Jail in Pocatello last week
and escaped with four other prison
ers. A Though only two hours had.
elapsed between the time of getting.
away and when the officers made.
the discovery. they have all succeed
ed in keeping from the officers who
now have little chance of capturing
any of them.
Clayton was kept in the Pocatello
jail so that he would be seperate
from his pal in the Ellsberry Job.
and there was strong suspicion that
they were in some way connected
with the Union Pacific hold up near
Ogden some time ago.

DEMOCRATS TO
GAIN BY DEATH
Senator Frye's Demise
Strengthens Senate FoothoId.

Lewiston, Me-, Aug. 9.-After an i'll
Senator William Pitt Frye is dead at
his home here.
AS a Democrat is governor Of Maine
another Democrat will be sent to
Washington from the Pine Tree state.
Senator Frye was born In Lewiston,
Me-, Sept. Q, 1882. He graduated from
Bowdoin college IN 1850 and studied
law and practiced his profession in
Rockland county. In 1S61-62-69 he
was q member of the Maine legisla-
ture, and In 1884 a presidential elector.
In 1S66-67 he served as mayor of Lew
iston, and In 1S6168 as attorney gen
eral of the state.
In 1872 he was elected a member Of
the national Republican executive
committee and served as delegate to
the national convention. He was a
member of the house of representa-
tives from the Forty-second to the
Forty-seyenth congresses. In 1881 he
was elected United States senator to
fill the unexpired term of James G..
Blaine, who bad resigned to become
secretary Of state. He was reelected
every term since and was chosen presi-
dent pro tempore Of the senate In 1896
by a unanimous vote. This post be
filed until March 4 last, when he de
clined a reelection and no successor
has been chosen.
Senator Frye's wife died suddenly
in Washington, Dec. 81, 1907.
Washington, Aug. 0.-The senate was
not u~nprepared for the announcement
of the death of its former president pro
tempore, Senator Frye. Earlier in the
session Senator Frye, realizing his ply
steal incapacity to preside ove the SEN
ate, sent his resignation to Vice Presi-
dent Sherman. Since that time the SEN
ate has been without a president pro
tempore, having failed after numerous
ballots to elect, owing to a deadlock.
Senator Frye was first elected presi-
dent pro tempore Feb. 7, 1896. He
was reelected six years later and
again In 1907. He was practically
vice president of the United States for
nearly six years, his first service be-
ginning with the death of Vice Presi-
dent Hobart and continuing until the
close of President McKinley's first ad-
ministration.
When Theodore Roosevelt assumed
the duties Of vice president at the be-
ginning Of President McKinley's second
administration, he relieved Mr.. Frye.
But when Mr.. Roosevelt succeeded to
the office of president, on the death Of
Mr.. Mckinley. Senator Frye again
became the acting vice president and
continued throughout the first Roose-
welt administration. AS presiding
officer he was n of the fairest who
aver occupied that office and was uni
versally esteemed for his impartial
ruling and lack Of ~partisanship. Sen
ator Frye had a record for forty years
of service In congress.

LAST TWO TO
Be ADMITTED
Statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico.

Washington, Aug. 9,-Statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico, the last two
territories within the mainland Of the
United States, was voted by the sen
ate, SO to 19.
Under the provisions of the bill,
which is substantially the same meas
ure that passed the house earlier in
the special session. Arizona is required
to resubmit to her voters that portion
of her proposed constitution which
provides for the recall of the judiciary.
Defeat Of this provision, however, Is
not made q prerequisite to statehood.
The Nelson amendment, providing that
statehood should be conditioned upon
the elimination Of the recall clause
was defeated, 20 to 43. Arizona is
simply required to resubmit the recall
to a vote of her people. Thereupon,
whether the recall is retained or not,
the territory automatically becomes a
member of the sisterhood of states.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma made q
brief reply. He is IN favor of recall
Of federal judges, including the SUI
preme court justices. Senator Cum
Minis defended the Arizona constitu-
ton.
Senators Bailey, Shively and New
land closed the debate, which had
been extended over two days on the
statehood resolution.
The debate was interrupted by the
visit of Admiral Togo of the imperial
Japanese navy. On motion of Sena
tor Root the senate took a fifteen
minutes recess, and senators filed pasi
the visitor and shook hands with him
Vice President Sherman making the
introductions. On leaving he was ap
plauded on the floor and In the senate
galleries, which were crowded witt
visitors at the time.
The statehood resolution was passed
after the senate had been in session
eight and one-half hours. The frs
vote cast was on the Nelson amend
ment to knock out of the Arizona
constitution the recall of judges. The
Nelson amendment was defeated, d
to %. The statehood resolution con
tanning the recall In the Arizona con
stltution was then passed by a vott
