NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY FOR

CHINE TO THIS CITY

The board of directors of the Las
Vegas Baseball association is in cor
respondence with the Matthewson
Aeroplane company in regard to secur-
ing some expert bird men to make ex-
hibition flights at Amusement park.
If satisfactory terms can be arranged
Las Vegas people will have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing some real bird
man" stunts within the next two
weeks.
Representative of the Matthewson
company are now in Albuquerque
where they gave an exhibition recent
ly. They have with them several aero
planes, and are planning to give
flights in Santa Fe. 1t is the desire
of the baseball association to bring
them here directly from the Ancient

The av'ators with the machines ex-
plain the workings of the machines to
the crowds that visit their exhibitions
and then make flights. To those who
have nev seen an aeroplane and
have no knowledge of its appearance
or workings such an exhibition is
real treat. The baseball association
believes it could draw large crowds
here and realize a considerable sum
for the financing of the Maroons next
summer.
The Matthewson company had bad
luck in Albuquerque, some needed re.
pairs to the machine having caused
their flights to be shorter than the
aviators wished to make. The crowds
in that city, however, we're greatly
pleased with the exhibition. If the

CAST, 1,641

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 10.-Hopes Of
the anti-constitutionists that the vote
of yesterdays election to ratify the
constitution would not be more thar
60 per cent of the whole, were dashed
today when returns from the princl
pal towns of nearly all the fourteen
counties of the territory indicated a
favorable vote that frequently ran as
high as to 1.
Only one county voted against the
proposed constitution, according to
the available returns which are re-
garded as practically conclusive. This
was Apache county, in the northeast
ern portion of the territory. 1t re-
turned a negative majority of 113.
Pima county, which sent a solid re-
publican delegation to the constitu-
tional convention and was regarded
as stronghold of the anti-constitu-
tionists, voted overwhelmingly in fav-
or of the constitution.
Tucson, the largest city of the terri
tory and situated in Pima county, yot-
ed Sc for adoption of the. constitution
and $50 against.
The vote was light, due to the fact
that ratification was simply a ques-
tion of majority In Phoenix, where
2,047 votes were cast for delegates to
the constitutional convention in Sep
tember, the total number of ballots to-
day was 1,641, of which 1,029 were for
ratification and 432 for rejection. The
sixteen principal precincts of Mari
copa county returned 2,157 votes for
approval of the constitution and 654

Washington, Feb. 10.-The demo
Gratis of the house, aided by few
republicans who declined to be bount
by the party caucus late yesterday
won their fight for an increased repre-
sentation in the lower branch of con
gress under the census of 1910.
They voted down the republican
caucus bill to maintain the member
ship at S91 as at pAssent and then
passed the original Crumpacker bill
fixing the membership at. 433 on and
after March 8, 1913. If-Arizona and
New Mexico should be admitted to
statehood they will be given one re-
preventative each, bringing the total
to 435. The action of the house
must now he ratified by the SEN
ate. The house leaders believe the
senate will follow the wishes of the
lower branch.
Under the new reapportiohment
plan, no state loses a member. The
following states gain the number in

states should be re-districted by the
legislatures, was voted down on an
appeal from the republican members.
Of the Missouri delegation. They
held the states should be permitted
to re-district themselves in their own
way.
The sentiment of the members so
decisively showed that the vote by
which the bill was placed was decided
in the affirmative without division
