who ran out in the field to stop the
machine as ii struck the ground and
then bounced up again into space. Only
two short flights were given, but the
speed, climbing abilities, and perfect
control OF the new machine, which is
about to be sent to the Mexican border,
were demonstrated to all present.
The was no public announcement of
the dight, and just at daybreak the war
macrine." stealing a march on the other
machines now on exhibition at the aero
show at the Exposition Building, was
wheeled through the streets to the Speed
way, so as to be ready for a flight
promptly at 9 o'clock. Telephone mes
sages notified the officials of the War
and Navy departments, as we'll as the
attaches of the foreign governments, and
in short time distinguished military
men were rushing to the scene of the
test in automobiles from the northwest
section of the city.

be any of the usual delays attending the
starting of the flight arrived on the
grounds just in time to see Aviator

the Diaz palace came so suddenly that
the police, utterly unprepared for the
demonstration, were unable to disperse
the mob before much glass had been
shattered, and the guests of the President,
who were in the palace at the time, had
been badly frightened. 1t is said that
there were not many windows left on
the side of the palace exposed to the
stone throwers
AS the details we're received this after
noon, the demonstration occurred about 8
O'Clock in the evening, when the streets
centering about the official residence were
filled with people. Suddenly there was a
movement in the crowd and out of cafes
adjacent there poured as if by preconcert-
ed signal several hundred men and young
boys. With shouts of viva Madero' they
let fly the first shower of stones and then

- Police Slow to Act.
!. tie whole thing was over in five min
-tes. AS it was learned later Diaz coolly
commanded one of his aids to run out
and see why the police did not act. The
police did act, but not before the crowd
had begun to scatter. There were several
arrests. The significance of the report
lies in the fact that this is the first
demonstration against the Diaz govern
ment and Diaz himself that has occurred
in the federal district of Mexico since
the present revolt against his rule be-

E. E. ElIinwood
 in the City Today

F.. F. Ellinsood of Bisbee was 6 brief Tom bstone visitor today on legal business returning home this af. terpoon. Mir Ellinwood was one of Cochise's able delegation to the con- stitutionsl convention. He stood out boldly and alone against the one fes- ture of the constitutional that of re- call ss applied to the iudiciary-which he believed would meet with congress sionsl objection and imperil statehood chances. He at that time sounded keynote that was vigorously voiced in the sentiment of Col Roosevelt in his Phoenix speech this week. Mir.
 Ellin wood is one of Arizona's most eminent lawyers, a profound thinker aud loyal Democrat. When such an exponent of Americanism as Col. Roosevelt gave utterance to similar msgiviUgs on the recall, less modest man than MT. Ellinwood might have ssid, d,"I told you so," MT. Ellin sood
 was active and instrumental in plac- ing some of the substantial funds. mentals in the Arizona constitution that helped make of the basic law one of the most progressive and model or. ganic measures in the nation and met with such hearty approval at the polls and probable early admission to state hood at the extra session next month

A Unique Man
 Power Stamp Mill

High up on the west side of the Chemehuevis mountain, between the Schoolms'am and Sunrise mines. two Gern an miners have built mill and are using it with excellent results. The mill was built entirely y hand, the men shipping in the raw material and forging out the iron work. For 8 fly wheel on the cam shaft they have brought large wagon wheel into requisition. The mill is operated by hand, one of the men turning the big wheel that operates the stsmps. A feeding device was designed by one of the men that is simplicity itself and feeds the mill automatically.
 While one Of the miners extracts the ore from their mine the other one is pounding out the gold at the rate of an ounce a day. It IS reported that the men have s splendid showing of gold ore and are taking the present method of extracting the values from the ores, to be later used in the pur- chase of uptodase machinery. Those that have witnessed the operation of the plant are muoh impressed with the ingenuity of the men who design ed it.

The troop treirs Q! !ede:s!s which passed through Nogsles from Csnsnes CD route to Hermosillo is considered significant as the soldiers were locked inside the coaches. Only the officers were permitted to step of the train.
 Passengers arriving from the south report they saw band of 1OoO insur- rectos along the Sonora river.
 The train from Nogsles was late to- day. bringing in three sleepers from Mazatlan, trains having been held up for three dave at Fundicion below Gusymas, The first train was held up by band of rebels near FunjicioD according to passengers. They stop. ped the tain and ordered the engineer to take it b,ct to Nsvaioa They told him that they wonld not harm the Americans or wreck the train but would blow to atoms every engineer who carried troops.

Statehood at
Extra Session

D L. Cunningham of this city, who vas one of the foremost leaders of the constitutional convention and whose progressive idess of organic law were adopted in Arizonss model constitu- . ton. is a believer in early statehood for Arizona. Speaking of statehood chances Ir Cunningham said today that the indications and advices re- ceiyed point 10 the admission of Ari- Iona at the extra session next mouth. Mir. Cunnin gham declared, and justly 60, that Arizona's constitution has a.. ready attracted nation wide publicity, the advanced provisions meeting with such universal public favor and earnest advocacy that the represent s.ives and senators are not unmindful of the popular and growing sentiment; 1; while many of the more pronounced stand patters, viewing the hand writing on the wall. practically concede it's admission. Beyond the objections of a struggling minority the course of statehood is clear and the coveted goal in sight.
 Both the great parties in their platforms have promised release from territorial vsssslsge; the political as. pect with reference to its congression- al bearings has been we'll defined in both arizona and New Mexico and constitutional state rights of a sov- erign people is no longer questioned, thus" added Mir. Cunningham, "the de oatables' are eliminated and two new states must logically follow, the special session being particularly for. tunnte for the early consumstion of a long deferred hope" Cochise county citizens are proud of Mfr. Cunning ham ant his record in the convention, during the session of which his legal attsinments and influence were po- tent factors in bringing about many remedial provisions of recognized leg islstive evils. Mr. Cunningham en. joyed the distinction of being elected by the largest vote of any delegate in the convention and is 6 consistant cham 2iou .: Arizona's basic law.
