Admission an Apparent Certainty.

It is a pleasure to inform the readers of the The Republican that advices from Washing ton say that there is no longer any doubt of the passage of the necessary statehood legis- Iation at the present session of congress.
 These advices come from sources exceptionally we'll in- formed.
 According to this information, the senate will amend the Flood resolution (the resolution which passed the house weeks ago) by inserting a provision excluding the judiciary from the recall pro- visions of the constitution. on the lines of the pending Nelson amenolnent, and that the house will accept the amendent. As heretofore explained in these col umns, it will then be necessary for the voters of Arizona to ratify this action of congress, the legis- lation providing for vote on the question at the same time the electors vote for state and county officers.
 If the voters should reject the congressional proviso, the elec- tion of state and county officers would, of course, be null and void, and the situation would be the same as if there had been no statehood legislation. A state election, not earlier than next November and not later than December, and Arizona a full hedged state by the first of next January may be confidently ex- pected, on the basis of the in- formation transmitted to this paper from Washington -Ariz.

COMPLETE RETURNS SHOW TEXAS
 STILL WET
PROHIBITION DEFEATED
 BY FOUR THOUSAND VOTES
Chairman of Temperance Forces Not Ylt Ready to Announce Whether Contest Win Be Made.

Dallas Texas, July A. The antiinajority in the Texas prohibi- tion election was 1887 at 1:45 this afternoon. according to near ly complete. but unofficial. re- turns to the Associated Press.
 The anti prohibition vote from these returns totalled 23O, 136. The prohibition vote totalled 225, 749.
 In a statement today Chairman Ball of the statewide prohibition committee said the complete re- turns would probably show an anti prohibition majority of less than 1000 votes. MT. Ball would not say whether the prohibit tionists would bring charges of fraud sufficient to warrant con- test.
 Chairman Wolters of the anti prohibitionists claimed that the anti's have defeated the prohi- bitionists by a majority of about Is. 500.
 Returns came in freely late this afternoon and all tended to confirm the claim that Texas has defeated state wide prohibition py 5000.

POISONERS CAUSE
 OF TROUBLE
QUACK DOCTORS SEEK REMOVAL OF
 THE PURE FOOD EXPERT
LETTERS PRAISING WILEY POUR IN
 FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

Washington. July p. Food poisoners and quack doctors have once more set out to secure the scalp of Dr. Wiley.
 The result is that the whole country is stirred to the Wiley defense. and veritable blizzard of letters from the people com mendlng and defending Wiley have poured in upon the presi- dent and department of justice.
 Attorney General Wickersham is the visible and active Wiley denunciator. He charges that in violation of law Wiley paid Dr. H. H. Rusby. expert chemist, $2O a day for professional work $50 for appearance in court.
 As chief chemist, Wiley had to have expert testimony in trials. The law forbids paying experts over $4. 900 a years, or a per diem of $11. RIsby would not assist Wiley for less then his price, and he was not needed every day. So Dr. Wiley had him put on the salary Its at $1. 500 a year, intending to get $1, 600 worth of work out of him at $2O and $50 day.
 For this, General Wickersham is spokesman in the effort to get Dr. Wiley to resign, holding the Rusby case a violation of the law, therefore, let the attorney generals precept be judged by the example in his own depart ment, where he took advantage of his privilege. unlimited by law, of fixing fees of special at torneys and paid a long list of favored attorneys more than they would have been allowed by law if they had worked on a salary. In mary cases the special as- sistant attorneys" resigned as regular employees under Wicker sham to become special con- sellers" by his appointment. There was no need or excuse for this. The men would have done the same work in the routine of their regular work on a salary basis. Between March 5, 1909 and may 31, 1911 special coun- seI" fees paid out in the depart ment of justice amounted to $845, ,OOO.
 Granting that the cases of Wickersham and Wiley tally in general effect yet Wickersham paid out the money needIessly and in solid chunks of from SIT, 900 down, while Wiley pro posed to spend $500.
 Wiley HAD to have the ser ice. Dr. Rusby was not demand ing an exhorbitant fee and no one holds that he was. Dr. Wiley Lad actually paid Rusby just S1OO.
 In the enforcement of the pure food law. Dr. Wiley made for himself numberless enemies among the dopers, quacks, and food prisoners. It was Wiley who disclosed to the public the benzoate of soda, so widely used in the manufacture of certain foods as a preservative, as rank poison to the human system and also found that it was used

KILLED FOR IVORY.

The wholesale slaughter of elephants for the sake of their ivory has pro ceeded at such a great pace in Africa that it is felt that unless steps are tax en soon no elephants will be left there.
 Speaking of the work which Is being done to resist this eXterminatlon by the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire, gentle man connected with the society re- marked to a Morning Leader represen- tative upon the remarkable fact that ivory hunters did not realize that. II hey eXterminated the elephant, they would no longer get the tusks from which to extract the ivory. For the last year for which figures are avail able" he continued, the quantity of ivory imported into this country from Africa was valued at over half a mil lion sterling. This must have repre- stented the slaughter of 16.000 or IT, 900 animals"
 What is being asked for by the so- Ciety is a more extended cooperation between Great Britain, Portugal. Ger many. France. and, in fact. any other nation in whose dependency the ele- phant may be preserved. at any rate until it has reached a stage of de Velopment insuring a certain weight of tusk before it is killed.

RESPECT FOR WILHELM II.

Either tho subjects of the German empe.or are growing more respectful or the Gcrman authorities are coming to thf more ore less astute conclusion that people will not submit permanently to an infringement of their inalienable right to view with alarm.' "denounce with inlignation.'' call halt or speak out freely about inc manifold things that concern civilized, sclf-governing nation.
 Some German statistics of crime have become available showing among other things that the number of cases or "maiestats beleidigung" or insulting the king. has been reduced from 239 m 1904 to a bare twelve in 1909. PerhapS IL would be more agreeable to attribute the reduction in the number Of such cases to a growing respect Tor the kaiser on the part of his people. but m fortunately for this assumption the facts all support the contrary hypothesis. The unremitting activity and steady progress of the social democracy have been marked by degree of free ana easy speech supposed tO be peculiar to American politics at its hottest. Ihe emperor in both his personal and po- liticaI aspects has been hotly assalled and in the guttural shouts Of harry demons there is no discreet reference [" "a certain exalted parsonage. Whlch is the traditional form Of reference to the monarch without naming him- The past year the flood of direct crltl- cism of the kaiser reached high-ude following his reaffirmation of the prin- ciple of the divine right of the house of HohenzoIlern to rule. but the dls- patches have carried little or no news of resulting prosecutions for 'maJestats beleidigung" The probabilities are that the crime statistics for 1910 will snow even fewer prosecutions for insulting the king than in 1909 This may be taken as evidence that an absurd la" has been laughed out of existence Louisville Courier Journal

An evening paper enormously stat cd last night that the fastest time tu the dam Saturday morning was made by the Kissel Kar. As mat ter of foct the Pope Hartford ear belonging to Dr Redewill. who is now in Paris. and driven by his brother, Victor, broke all records. The running time of the Pope was hours and = minutes from Phoe- nix to the dam. MT. l.. C. Hill thought the time so fast that he placed tine car under arrest" until Monday. after all visitors would have left the dam site. However. nothing could keep the Pope idle on such an occasion and so, the party composed of Cass and Victor Rede- will. A. Redewin. A. G. Farquharson and Kirke Moore left the dam site by way of Globe and Kelvin and arrived home Sunday evening. This was a very hard trip and il was necessary to run the big car over four miles of railroad ties in order to cross the Gila river. This round about way was travelled in even a more daredevil manner than the gov ernment road from Phoenix to Roosevelt

OCTAVIUS AND LEOBELIUS

Octavius and Lcobelius, two young
 gentlemen of Lithunia. were bred together from their childhood. and were inseparable companions As they grew up their friendship be- came more conspicuous, and they
 were shown as a pattern of virtu"us amity
 While they were at the university, | Octavius fell in love with Pauline. d young lady of great rank and fortune,
 and had rival in the person of | Gelasius, a young gentleman Wh" was the favoritc of Paulnc's parents.
 and was recommended to her as a
 suitable match.
 Gelasius. finding that the heart of Pauline was engaged to Octavius. de- ! termined to rid himself of SD power ! full rival He set spies upon him ! by whom he discovered that he often entertained Pauline at her window. when the rest of the family were in bed when ragged at this. he took a friend with him called Mcgasius. and ! a servant on whose courage and fidelity he could rely and lay in ambush for Octavius. who soon came
 to the house of Pauline accompanied | by his friend Leobolius. Having given the signal. Pauline came tu the window. and Leobelius retired to
 some distance. to give them the "p- portunity of unbosoming themselves tO each other.
 GeIasius enraged at the sight, or dered his servant to attack Leobelius while he and Mcgasius set on Oc- tavius Lcobelius having laid the
 servant dead at his feet. haste ned to the assistance of his friend Wh"
 with his back to the wall maintained
 an unequal fight. Leobelius soon made Gelasius pay the price of his
 trrachery, while Mcgasius escaped.
 Octavius was immediately taken
 prisoner by persons attracted to the
 spot. and conducted to goal. Leo
 belius. more fortunate made his es-
 cape and lay concealed. hoping to
 prove both his friends innocence and
 his own. but Octavius was tried in
 few days. and on the single evidence of Megasius. condemned to death. The next day he was led to the scaffold, and the executioner was upon the
 point of doing his office. when Leo
 belius making his way through the crowd. cried out to him to stay his hand. lest the innocent should suffer for the guilty
 Mounting the scaffold. he with an undaunted countenance, declared to | the magistrates. who were present t" witness the execution. that he alone was the author of the death of Ge- lasius and his servant. and entirely exculpated his friend. whom he re-
 leased. since he was ready to satisfy
 the laws by laying down his life. The populace, touched by this gen erous action. began to cry, Pardon, pardon" and to threaten the magis- trates if they proceeded in the exc cution This compelled them to car " the two friends to the Town Hall, and to hear the case again.

ROOSEVELT RIDES
 THROUGH PICTURES
Frontier Day Celebration at chey. enne Greatly Enjoyed in Phoenix
 Last Night

IL may have been because Roose- Welt had been in Phoenix and had spoken at the city hall plaza during the day, or it may have been the interest cowboys and wild west sports hold for the general public. but the pictures of the frontier day celebration at Cheyenne. Wyoming. last July, which were shown at the Coliseum last night, created more of furure than any ever seen in this city
 IL seemed that all Phoenix had turned out to see if Roosevelt look ed the same in his pictures as he looks in real life. No great change in his physical appearance was not ed He was just the same Teddy last July in Cheyenne as he was yes terday in Phoenix. He appeared on horseback at several places in the pictures. showed his teeth and rode away.
 But the two big crowds that saw the pictures became as much eN- cited at the broncho busting, steer roping and calf tying as at sight of Ted himself There are 5000 feet of the pictures and they are nearly all views of cowboy sports. At one time six brOnchOs go buck ing across the screen at once. throw ing their riders in all directions and crashing through fences. Tn short, it's just genuine cowboy sport
 The pictures are in such great demand in all parts of the country that the Coliseum management could only .ug3g. them for one night Af- ter people had been turned away from both performances last even ing. however. arrangements were made for a return engagement next Monday evening.

SATURDAY BRISK
TRADING DAY

Saturday was another day in which
the merchants of the city enjoyed
n good trade. People from the rural
districts began coming early and
soon the stores were thronged with
busy shoppers.
Farmers are so far advanced with
their work this season that they can
afford to take a day OF Saturday
and come to town, and of course
the merchants reap the benefits of
their visits.
Every farmer approached on the
streets of the city yesterday when
asked as to crop conditions, had but
one answer to give, "Simpy fine.
From all reports the recent rains
have done much to restore confidence
in farmer and merchant alike, and
with the cordial good feeling exist
ing between city and country, resi-
dents of both are happy.
