.BIG STICK" IN NEW ROLE.

What the people of Arizona really have to do to obtain statehood, is a story that the American people have never fully heard. Information flas gone o..t over the wires from Wash ins=ton that President Taft will per- simply striking the recall of the jul diciary'' provision from its constdtu- tion.
 But only when the following facts are considered can the full signifi- canoe of the Presidents action be grasped:
 First, that the people of Arizona by a vote of three to one, declared in favor of the recaal
 Second. that in order to obtain stateno cd the people of Arizona must go back to the polls and vote against principle of government which they have already voted in favor of, and
 which they believe to be right. By thus coercingt the people to vote judgment tells them to be wise, threat
 ening, to withhold from that people
 unless they vote as the chief execu-
 tive dictates. rights to which they are justly entitled under the constitution. President Taft has committed himself to an action which is without ,prece- dent in the history of the American government
 The President has said to the pao-
 pie of Arizona, i'm effect: 'fNo matter whether the majority believe that the recall of judges is wise or nos: un- less that majority goes to the polls and pretends that s against the re- call. I will deprive the people of Ari-
 zcna of statehood whether they are Eentitled to it under the constitution or ret, unless they vp-e not the way they may desire, bu: as I command then to vote"
 Willie this methoi of fcrcing the Dc Iae to vote against thel.- will may be perfectly conlra-i3,e to he men "a. workings of an executive with a Judicial temperament isn't it after all making a farce out of representa- tive government?

Ballot Fight For : Municipal Lighting
 In Waterbury Now
(SpeciaI from Unfted Press.

Waterbury, Sept. 14.-The fight is on, today, in the campaign of the municipal lighting referendum. City Attorney Francis F. Guilfoile advised the voters to go slow in putting the city in the position of having to buy the local electric lighting plant in case the referendum ratifies the pub lie ownership plan. T don't think ii is fair for a city to decide to buy back, at what might be an almost prohibited price, something the city granted for nothing.'

STANLEY WILLIAMS IS
KILLED IN REBEL BATTLE
American Deserter Is Shot to
Death in Fight at Mexi-
iCaIi

MExICAI. Mexico, April 1O.-A plain
wooden slab in the little graveyard be-
hind the breastworks of Mexicali marks
the resting place of Gen. Stanley Will
liams, a deserter of the United States
army and the leader of the band of IS
Americans who vainly attacked 500 Next
can regulars Saturday.
Williams died Sunday in the improvis-
ed hospital established by, the United
States troops at Calex1co.
Together with the other dead brought
from the battlefield, five miles away. the
fallen chieftain was buried Sunday night
in the little graveyard at Mexicali, just
behind the breastworks.
STRUCK BY MISSILE.
Williams death was caused by a mis-
sile that ploughed through the head at
the base of the skull tearing away the
rear portion of the brain.
While not as sanguinary as the rebels
themselves at first believed. the defeat
of Williams nevertheless, proved per-
feet rout of the attacking forces Fifty
men who participated in the daring sortie
have returned to Mexicali. Eleven others
have deserted and are now in the Jail
established by the American troops at
Calexico. The remaining "a of the band
are believed to be dead as the federals
took no prisoners.
That any escaped alive is due only to
the failure of the federals TO press their
advantage and pursue the routed insur-
rectos as they fed in wild Disorder from
the field.

SCOUTS WELCOMED
At M|LLEDGEV|LLE;
OFF FOR ATLANTA
Pleasant Run Is Made From
Dublin Over Roads That Are
Found to Be Better Than
Reports
III W. T. WATERS, JR.

MILLEDGEVLLE. Ga. April 10
A very pleasant Sunday afternoons ride
was what the run of the scouts from
Dublin here proved to be, despite the
predictions that the direct route they
chose via Toombsboro and Irwinton.
would be too bad for travel. They
found a natural sandy road almost all
the way: a little sand here and there;
a few rough places. but none very long
in extent; several unbridged streams,
but none that they could not cross;
and a few sharp hills. But these objec-
tons, emphasized though they were by
the heavy rain of Saturday afternoon,
lacked much OF spelling a very pleas
ant and enjoyable ride through some
beautiful scenery. The expenditure of
a comparatively small sum would make
the whole road excellent. for in its
natural condition il is far from bad.
ss--DESFANeE FRoaE DUBLIN.
The scouts found the. road from Dub
lin to be 51.1 miles TO the center of Mil
ledgeville. Via Stephensville (15.6
miles). Toombsboro GAS miles) and
Irwinton GAS miIes), following a well
defined road all the way, arriving at
$50 o'clock and making the run In four
hours
Iney were surprised when a Milledge-
vile car met them on the road two
miles from town. In the car were
James l. Sibley. Jr., and Irwin Sibley,
sons Of the Milledgeville postmaster.
The reason for this unexpected recep-
ton was not divulged till the scouts ar
rived here. They were led TO a group
OF gentlemen waiting for them on the
main street. and by these friends were
escorted to the Elks club. There II was
learned that a telephone message from
the beautiful home OF Mrs. z. NJ Ma
pier, which the scouts passed IL miles
from town, had advised local enthusi-
asts that the scouts were coming No
one along the road was looking for the
scouts, who were supposed to be spend
ing Sunday in Dublin. As they passed
the Napier home they returned the sal
utations of a group in the yard and re-
marked among themselves that they had
been recognized. 1t was from this
group that the message came to Mil
ledgeville.
LEFT MONDAY MORNING.
The scouts spent Sunday night at the
Baldwin hotel here. with plans to leave
at 8 o'clock Monday morning for At
lantas about 112 miles away, via Eaton
ton. Covington. Conyers. Lithonia and
Decatur.
The stay Of the scouts In Dublin, from
Saturday evening until Sunday afternoon,
was pleasant indeed. A grand reception
into that growing little city of 5000 peo-
pie had been prepared for them, but the
storm drowned out all arrangements.
The plans even included a brass band and
other similarly pretentious features.
