PARTY LINES DRAWN.
Big Majority for the Constitution in
New Mexico

Albuquerque, N. M, Jan. 23.-Al-
most complete returns from Saturdays
election show the ratification of the
constitution of New Mexico as framed
by the constitutional convention by a
majority of approximately 18,0 900. The
few remote precincts yet to be heard
from will not change the result ma
terially, though the majority will prob
ably be increased.
The feature of the election was the
almost complete disappearance of
party lines. In Santa Fe county, al
most evenly divided politically, the
majority for the constitution was 1880.
In the solidly, Democratic county of
Chaves, the majority for the constitu-
ton was 1.750, while in the equally
solid Republican county of Valencia
the constitution carried by 1,07O.
Some $4,000 votes were cast, there
being "a 1000 for and 5000 against re-
ported so far. The constitution Sc
cured majority in all save three of
the twenty-six counties of New Mex
leo. The election passed off quietly
and no instance of violence or fraud
has been reported

TAFT MUCH in EARNEST.
He Begins Campafga for Fertilization
of Panama Canal.

New York, Jan. 23-President Taft
has begun in earnest his campaign for
the fortifcation of the Panama canal.
His entire speech at the annual BAN
quet of the Pennsylvania society in New
York was devoted to this subject. He
has high hopes that congress at this
session will declare in his favor and
appropriate Sc, 10000 to begin the work.
In the senate the president has been
told the sentiment for fertilization Is
almost two to one.
The house seems pretty evenly divid-
ed, but not along partisan lines. Most
Of the members appear to have an open
mind, however, and are willing to be
convinced by the side that makes the
better presentation of its case.
President Taft will bring all his in
f1uence to bear in favor of fortifcation.
In his speech Saturday night he said
there was no treaty obligations in the
way; that the United States has every
right and reason to protect what was
surely an American waterway.
The president said he yielded to rSS
man in his love of peace and hatred of
war. He said he hoped to submit soon
to the senate arbitration treaties of a
broader nature than had ever come be-
fore that body or any other legislative
body of the world. At the same time
he cautioned his hearers that universal
peace was still long way off and
he could not conceive Of any patriotic
American being willing to allow an at
tacking force free and equal use of
waterway which was built by Ameri-
cans largely as an instrument for the
defense of their country.

THEY DINE WITH TAFT.
West Virginia Exiles Entertained by
Presidents Brother.

Cincinnati, jan, 23.-After dining
at the home of Charles P. Taft, broth
er of President Taft, the 15 West Vir-
ginia Republican members of the state
senate returned to the Hotel Sinton
and said as far as they know now they
will remain here indefinitely.
Major Joseph H. Chiffon, brother of
W. E. Chiffon, one of the Democratic
nominees for the United States senate
in West Virginia, it is said, saw mem
bers of the party of Republican sena-
tors here today but it is denied that he
encouraged their return to Charleston
to complete the quorum in the senate.
1t is said Major Chiffon announced
his visit to Cincinnati was in the ma
ture of social affair and that his only
reference to West Virginia political
matters was that in his opinion the
absence of the Is Republicans would
not affect the senatorial election.

PHILLIPS is SHOT
Well Known Author Victim of
Assassin.
Unknown Assailant Then Takes
Own Life.

New York, Jan. 23.-David Graham
Phillips. the author, was shot by an
unidentified man while on his way
from his home to the Princeton club
this afternoon.
Mr.. Phillips was taken to Bellevue
hospital where it was said his condi-
ton was serious. His assailant shot
and killed himself.
The shooting occurred in East
Twenty-first street, short distance
from the Princeton club house, located
on this street and facing Gramey
park. Five shots were discharged,
when Mr.. Phillips was seen to fall
heavily, at least one of the shots hav-
ing taken effect in his left side near
the heart.
Mr.. Phillips lives in the vicinity.
About half block from the club
house he was approached by man
in rough garment apparently a work
man, who without warning drew a re-
volver and began firing.
The stricken man was at once car
rled into the Princeton club. 1t was
seen that his condition was serious.
An ambulance was summoned and he
was taken to the Bellevue hospital.
An examination of the wound show
ed that it was in a dangerous prox-
unity to the heart.
Meantime the assassin had turned
his weapon on himself A single shot
sufficed, and the man dropped dead in
the street.
A hasty examination gave no clew
to his identity. Neither was Mr.. Phil
lips able to throw any light on the
cause OF attack.
The hospital authorities reported at
3:15 that Phillips condition, while Sc
rious, was not critical. Several of the
bullets had taken effect in his body
but the exact extent of the injuries
was not stated. great crowd as
sembled on 21st street, in the vicinity
OF the shooting, where the body of
the assassin remains where it fell, un-
til the coroners office had taken ac-
ton.
David Graham Phillips was born in
Madison, Indiana, October 81, 1857,
and was a son of David G. and Mar
garet Phillips. He graduated from
Princeton university in 1887, and a
year later engaged in literary work in
which he had since attained an al
most world wide distinction. In 1901
his book, 1.-THE Great God Success, -
brought him into especial prominence.
This successful effort was followed
rapidly by "a Woman Venturess,' -

CAUGHT IN A TRAP
Mexican Troops Led into an
Ambuscade by Rebels.
More Than 100 Slain i'm a Three
Days Battle.

Presidio, Tex, Jan. 22.-Via Maria.
Tex, Jan. 23.-More than one hundred
soldiers were killed in a three days
battle between the Mexican federal
troops and insurrectos in the noun
tains between Ojinaga and Chuchillio
Parade.
The government troops were caught
in a trap and were moved down by the
bullets which swept their ranks from
three directions.
The insurrectos occupied the cliffs
and the soldiers were in the road with
only one way of escaping and that
blocked. OF the two hundred men who
went into the pass only forty escaped
so far as known. They Joined the
column under Col. Dorantes.
The revolutionist loss was only five
men killed, according to their reports.
The fighting started January IL when
a small band of insurrectos were routed
at Coyama. A column of two hundred
soldiers pursued the fleeing insurrectos
and ran into the trap.
It is believed about 200 insurrectos
were engaged. A detachment of insur-
rectos was seen after the fight with 80
captured Mauser rifles.
The battle lasted all day January II.
On January 18 Col. Dorantes advanced
from Ojinaga with reinforcements. He
circled about, avoiding the deadly pass,
entered the mountains from the west.
He discovered the insurrectos and a
continuous fight for two days followed.
Dorantes then retired into the foothills
and is now awaiting reinforcements.
Last night another column of 100 SOL
diers left Ojinaga for the relief Of
Dorantes. Several wounded insurrectos
and number of wounded soldiers have
been taken to San Juan The insur-
rctos had cared for the wounded SOL
diers, treating them with the same con-
sideration shown their men. There are
about eight hundred soldiers and armed
citizens of the government forces near
Ojinaga and the insurrectos have about
the same number in the district.
