OBJECTIONABLE PROVISION
 IN ARIZONA CONSTITUTION.
President Taft Browns on the Idea of
 Recalling Judges.

Washington, April 10.--Although President Taft might be unwilling to disapprove the constitution of Arizona on account of it's provision for the re- call of judges, he is seeking to find a way by which that provision may be stricken out by the people of Arizona themselves. The president looks with disfavor on the proposition for the re- call of judges.
 To Chairman Flood of the house committee on territories and Repre- sentative Houston of Tennessee the president outlined a scheme today to solve the problem. The presidents s proposal was that the constitution pending before congress be adopted and that later the people of Arizona, under the constitutional power, propose an amendment to the constitution per- hitting the recall/ to apply to all off, cers now mentioned except judges.
 Representative Flood offered a coun- ter-proposal. He showed the president a proposed amendment to the enabling act providing for the admission of Arizona which would obviate the ne- cessity of executive approval of Ari- zona's constitution and make congress alone pass upon it.

Chandler said that the ground to Ds taken would be that whereas Mrs. E5- dy left her property for the promotion of the Christian Scinence religion. no one knows exactly what the Cnristisu Science religion is, so that unless this matter is determined by the courts tas residuary clause. he contends, is void because of uncertainty.

FLEET TO VISIT
 FOUR COUNTRIES American Jackies Have Chance to See Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Germany.

Washington. April 1o.-The tenta- tive itinerary of the second division of the Atlantic fleet on it's cruise in the Baltic sea during May and June provides for visits to Denmark, Swe- den, Russia and Germany, the navy department announced today. One port in each of these countries will be vis- tied.
 All four divisions of the battleship fleet probably will cruise in Mediter- ranean waters during October, Novem- ber and December next.
 Tt is expected that these foreign cruises reads the departments mem orandum, will add greatly to the pop ulsr interest in naval life and stinu- late enlistments of men of high char acter. Under this plan, men enlisting for four years have a reasonable pros- pect of visiting most of the countries of northern and southern Europe, and this plan can be carried out without detriment to the general training of the fleet since, under the system, training can be carried out at sea and while cruising abroad as effectively as in home waters.'

Nine of Those Taken from Banner
 Mine Horribly Mutilated.

There was considerable delay in the rescue work because of the change in the air supply ordered by Mine Inspec- tor HilIhouse.
 Nine bodies brought up today Were horribly mutilated. The rails of the track were twisted, and mine cars had been hurled some distance. It is be- lieved that the center of the explosion Saturday morning was at this point.
 The accident resulted from careless handling of powder bringing it in con- tact with an exposed lamp. Mine off cials maintain there were 128 men in the mine. although there were rumors today that ten or fifteen corpses in addition to this number might be found.
