WOMAN IN JAIL
Tried to Hold Farm From Other Heirs by Force Against An
 Order From the Court.

Ozark, Aug. i9.--After defying persons to enter her land for sev- eral days, Miss Tilda Ramsey, who, for many years, lived alone on a farm two miles east of Ozark, was placed in jail here this afternoon to be examined for her sanity. For years the woman claimed the farm as her own. In the Circuit court here some time ago it was decided the farm belonged to the Ramsey estate, and that four other heirs had an interest in the place. The farm was ordered sold, which was done, but Miss Ramsey refused to move.
 For several days past she has stood guard on the property armed with revolver, her faithful bull- dog by her side. There is small coal mine located on the farm. The woman, it is charged, ran the min- CTS away. She shot at one, wound- ing him slightly. It was following this affair that she was taken in charge by the authorities.

STATEHOOD FOR
 BOTH TERRITORIES
r,ood-Smith Resolution Eliminating Recall for Judiciary in Arizona Passes House--Awaits Tafts
 Signature to Be Effective.

Washington, Aug. Statehood
 for Arizona and New Mexico now anlv awaits the perfunctory approv-
 ol of President Taft. The Flood smith resolution admitting these territories into the union with the
 judiciary recall feature of the Ari- sona constitution eliminated to meet inc objection which caused presi- dent Taft to veto the original state hood bill was passed by the house today without the formality of a roll call. Having been passed by the senate in the identical language the resolution will go to the White House as soon as the vice president and speaker formally attach their signatures to the measure. No at tempt was made in the house to pass over the presidents veto the orig
 nal bill, whic hcontained the judic- ial recall provision.
 Must Vote on Proposition.
 The joint resolution provides for Arizona's admission with the con- stitution adopted by the constitu- tional convention of June, 1910, and later ratified by the Arizona voters upon the fundamental condition that Article 8 of the constitution re- lating to the recall of the officers shall be held and construed not to apply to judicial officers and the Arizona people shall give their con- sent to that construction"
 The president is required that within 30 days thereafter the ap- proval of the measure to certify the fact to the governor of Ar,zona who within 30 days thereafter may call an election to De held within 60 or 90 days after the proclamation to vote upon Article 8 and to vote for state and other officers. If a majority of the voters ratify the construction will become part of the Arizon constitution. Tie president will then issue proclamation and upon it's issuance Arizona will be- come state
 The resolution admits New Mexico into the union with provisions mak- ing it's constitution easi 1T of amend ment.
 The resolution was passed afted a spirited two hours debate. Repre- sentative Flood of Virginia, chair man of the territories committee, declared that the Democrats favor ed passing the original bill over the Presidents veto, but knowing such an attempt would be useless, they decided to take the step taht would insure immediate admission to the territories to the Union. He and the other Democratic speakers insisted that the question at issue was not the judicial recall, but whether the | people had the right to maks laws to suit themselves so long as they | did not violate the federal constitu- ton. He said that before the orig inal bill was drafted the cab-com- mittee having it in charge had called | upon the President and he had given | them no intimation that he would | disapprove any of the provisions later included in the measure.
 The Republicans, headed by Lead | CT Mann and former Speaker Can- non, praised Taft's veto and de- nounced the judiciary recall as de- structive of Republican form of | government.

NEW PLAN FOR NORWICH

Norwich continues to lead Connec-
ticut in the field of municipal expert
ment- Her people haye adopted a
model charter, which has been favor
ably reported by the Committee on
Cities and Boroughs of the General
passed, conditioned upon its being
again accepted by the voters Of the
city.
Roughly speaking the bill provides
for the commission plan of govern
Inent, but under thoroughly demo-
cratic forms. The electors are given
the right of referendum, which en-
ables them to vote directly upon any
measure which. the commission pass
es; the right Of initiative, which per-
nits them to adopt any measure the
commissioners refuse to pass and the
right of recall, which permits them
TO discharge any public servant whose
work is unsatisfactory
1t is evidently the purpose of Nor
witch to extend the domain of public
service, for the charter provides that
the city may perform any public SER
vice.
Since Norwich already owns it's own
gas, water and electric light works, it
may be seen that its further ventures
in TO this field represent a consider
able extension on existing methods in
Connecticut.
The commission form of govern
ment is not without its opponents,

REDISTRICTING

It would appear that Connecticut
must be divided into five Congression-
al districts, since the Republican or
ganization. pledged itself to that
change in its party platform. But
unfortunately. party pledges have
ever been more readily made than
kept by the men who have seized the
power Of the Republican party in
Connecticut. and the promise is mere
" q promise not a guarantee.
Congress has made a new appor-
tfonment Of one congressman to each
211,s77 Of population, which means
something more than that Connect
cut IL to have fve congressman by
any legislative trick whatever. The
action of Congress means that Con-
n ectiout must be divided into five dis
trfcts. or that tho congressman elect
ed at large win run a very serious
chance of not being seated.
Three counties contain more popu-
lation than Is demanded by the New
apportionment, New Haven, Hartford
and Fefrfield counties are too large.
All Of the others are too small.
Redistricting will require much ad-
justment of boundary lines, which will
AFFORD a splendid opportunity for ger
rymandering and its concomitant pol
itical triokery.
The change should be made with
the end IN view of keeping the dis
tricts terrdtoriaLliy compact, and not
for the convenience of politicians with
power and perquisites to be preserv-
ed.

M'KENNA INVESTIGATION

The prosecution in the McKenna
investigation substantially completed
it's case, last night. The result has
been most Disappointing to those who
expected, from the tone Of the
charges, their length, the number of
them and their extensive detail. that
a full fledged public scandal was to
be unearthed.
The accusations that the city en-
gineer was either incompetent, or dis
honest, seem to be entirely without
proof, even before evidence for the
defense has been offered.
Indeed the evidence goes strongly
to show that the department is more
competent than the run of city de-
partments.
Mr.. McKenna has evidently spared
no pains to get first class men for his
assistants, and in one case, as the
evidence indicated last night, when
the city had not appropriated a sum
large enough to pay the kind of as
sistant he wanted, did not hesitate
to go into his own pocket for $3.50
to supplement the citys stipend.
The checks drawn in the name of
employees of the office, but 80 they
might be cashed by the engineer,
were all small in amount, and seem
all to have been accounted for.
Most Of them were for sums due
persons temporarily employed in the
office, and the checks were cashed
by Mr.. McKenna purely to convent
ence them. Proper vouchers indicat-
ed that the sums invariably reached
the persons in whose favor the or
ders were drawn.

Animals Coming With GoIImars Show,

The record of imports of wild ami
mails for the Gollmar Brothers Shows
during the past year includes elephants,
camels, tigers, lions, leopards, pumas,
panthers, and any number of small
animals and birds. There are enough
wild animals now in the Gollmar Broth
ers' winter quarters to stock a big
show. All are never carried on the
road, in case of accident, fire, etc.
Cubs-tiger, lion, leopard and bear
cubs are in special demand by famil-
les. They are reared and petted like
kittens, but they invariably come back
to the dealers at a quarter of what they
sold for, or even as gifts. One eloquent
letter which a dealer received from a
woman, who had purchased lion cub
a year ago, read as follows: "Please
come and take my lion away. She has
eaten our Newfoundland dog.
