their way to liberty from the state

siderable mystery surrounds the es-
cape of the men. When visited by
the guards about o'clock in the ev-

plated escape. No search had been
made of their cells for some time, as
nothing was feared from either one
of them. A small saw was used.

ABOUT FAILURE OF TEACHERS
THOSE WHO FAIL IN ExAMlNA,
TONS SHOULD FAIL.
Opinion of the State Superintendent mt
in the Matter of Examinations
Expressed.

Des Mones, Aug. Especial: State
Supt. A. NJ. Deyoe, while he has not
felt called upon to make any public
statement, feels that criticism which
has been directed against the depart
ment of education for alleged making
of the examinations of teachers too
difficult matter is without any rea-
son. His critics have not read the
examination questions nor consider
ed the whole matter. The criticisms
have probably emanated from those
who failed to pass, but an investiga-
tion of the examination papers would
probably convince any person with
knowledge of teaching that those
who failed ought to fail The atti-
tude of the department of education
is thPt of giving first consideration
to the pupils of the state, that the
schools are not made especially to
provide places for teachers, but that
fitness TO lead the children Alright is
first to be considered. If there is
any way that the examinations can
be improved the department would
be glad of suggestions and the rec
ord is wide open for the investigation
of any one who has a notion that
there has been unfairness or unusual
severity in the questions.

.W.GATES EXPIRES IN PARIS
THE AMERICAN FINANCIER DIES
IN ARMS OF WIFE.
Usual Rcstoratives Fail in Crisis and
Patient Reaches Lies End
Peacefully.

Paris Aug. 9.-Special: John w.
Gates, the American financier, died
at $40 this morning in the arms of
his wife and his son, Charles G. Gates

as though he was falling asleep. The
usual restoratives failed in the last
crisis. Others present at the bedside
besides the members of the family
were Drs. eros and Reeves.
The death OF John Warne Gates re-
moves in his prime one of the boldest
and most suCcessw ul American fnan,
ciers and a picturesque figure in the
field of sports. Since 1880, when he
organized the Southern Wire com.
pany, Mr.. Gates has been man with
whom il was necessary to reckon in
the particular Industrial affairs to
which he had given his attention. In
recent years he found relaxation from
business cares in becoming prominent
patron OF the American turf.
Mr., Gates began his career as pro
prietor of hardware store at Turner
Junction, Ill.,, near the farm where he
was born in 1855. His parents were
Asel A. and Mary Gates. At st
Charles, ILL.,, in 1874 he married Del
lora R, Baker, who, with their son
Charles G. Gates, survives him.

and of the administration.
You appeared in the federal court

policies of the administration with
regard to the reports of the referee

STATEHOOD BILL
!, WINS IN SENATE
Measure Admitting Arizona and
New Mexico Passes.
RECALL CLAUSE is RETAINED
Defeat Of Nelson Amendment to Strike
Out Judiciary Feature May Cause
, President to Withhold
: !" His Signature.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The bill
granting statehood to New Mexico
and Arizona was passed by the senate,
SO to IS, after rejection of the Nelson
amendment, which proposed striking
out of the Arizona constitution its
Judiciary recall provision.
AS passed by the senate the bill
differs only slightly from the house
measure, and it is said. may be unsat-
isfactory to President Taft.
Taft May Not Sign Bill.
He has contended all along that he
would be glad to sign the statehood
bill If the Nelson amendment pre-
vailed, but that it was a grave ques-
ton whether he would be willing to
sign it if the amendment were de-
feated, as it was by 43 to &c:
The indications are that the bill
will become law without his sigma
ture.
The senate amended the house bill
with two minor changes regarding the
manner of voting in New Mexico on
proposed amendments to its constitu-
ton
Right Of Recall Conceded.
These undoubtedly will be agreed to
by the house and the bill expedited to
the White House. These amendments
were reported by the senate commit
tee on territories and agreed to with
out debate.
Practically all of the debate on the
bill centered around the Nelson
amendment Then some senators who
declared their opposition to the recall
of judges voted against the amend
ment on the ground that If the people
of Arizona desired the recall as part
of their system of government it was
for them and not for congress to say
whether they should have IT,
The bill as passed compels Arizona
as a condition precedent to entry into
the union, to submit the recall PROPOSE
ton to the voters for final decision
as to whether 1t shall remain in their
constitution.
New Mexico must vote on a PROPOSE
ton embodied in the bill which would
make the constitution of the state
easier of amendment.
