DON'T ASK MUCH.

Fl Paso, Tex, March b. All the United States demands of Mexico is order, justice and independence" declared Colonel Theodore Roosevelt at a break fast given at the Toltec club. The colonel's remark was the only. utterance made on the Mexican situation and was q complete surprise to the nem- bers of the party.
 Continuing he declared that this country wished to see all it's neighbors prosper and that his hearers who dwelt along the southern border knew from ex- perience how the turmoil" in the south affected business.
 He said that the country only demanded of its neighbors that order reign and that order should be established on justice.

A VALUABLE WITNESS.
Sheriff Saxon Takes Ng. Soonsto
 Tucson.

Because of threats made by friends of the Mexicans- who are held on murder charges at No gales, Sheriff Harry J. Saxon of Santa Cruz county landed Ng. Soon in Tucson yesterday morn
 ing for safe keeping in the Pima county jail. Ng. Soon is the sole survivor of the band of Chinamen murdered near the line recently by Mexican snug
 glerS, and was himself shot in four places and left for dead, says the Tucson Star of March 14th.
 It will be recalled that Ng. Soon dragged himself to house several weeks ago and reported the murder of his four com paniOns in d canyon near the international line. He admitted that he and the other Chinamen had employed some Mexicans to slip them across the line and into Phoenix, but when the Am erican side was reached the Mexicans shot the Chinamen while they were asleep. Ng. Soon was shot four times and left for dead, but revived and made his escape, reporting the affair at Nogales. Since that time he has been in hospital most of the time, with two guards kept over him by Sheriff Saxon. The Chinaman is too valuable witness for this shrewd sheriff to run any chances of losing, so he brought him to this city.
 The trial of the Mexicans comes off on April 7 and there is great interest in it's outcome all over Southern Arizona. It is known in this city that the Chi nese residents have contributed to fund raised for the pro- secution of the Mexicans, and the Chinamen in Phoenix and Globe have done likewise. Some interesting questions are apt to be involved in the case and from the fact that the crime was com mitted so near the, international line there may be some. unusual complications. Sheriff Saxon has devoted a great deal of time to the case for the prosecution, and although he will make no predictions as to the outcome yet awhile, he believes that the Mexicans will know that there is a case against them when the time comes.

Court Of Criminal Appeals Says They
May Keep Quart In Store and

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 15,-
Citizens of Oklahoma may keep more
than quart Of whiskey or other in
toxicating liquor in their places Of
business If they choose and they may
sequester more than a gallon Of it in
their residences, according to an
opinion handed down yesterday by the
court Of criminal appeals.
That part of the Oklahoma prohibit
tion law which limits the amount Of
liquor citizens may have in their pos
session at one time was the ISSUE The
court held that it violates the four
teenth amendment to the federal con-
stitution which provides that no state
shall pass any measure which deprives
any citizen Of the United States of
property without due process of law.
The Oklahoma statute made the mere
possession of more than the stipulated
amount Of intoxicants proof Of guilt.
This angle to the enactment is what
moved the court. to declare it unconsti-
tutional.

DENVER ASSESSOR.
FORC|bLY OUSTED
REFUSES TO GIVE UP OFFICES
UNTIL POLICEMEN EJECT
... HIM FROM BUILDING

Denver, Colo, Dec. 49, Harry j.
Arnold, assessor of the county of Den
yer, and who claims that under the
consolidation of the city and county he
should retain that position, was
elected from his office by a band OF
city hall employees, policemen and
detectives, who the assessor declares
were armed, ct an early hour.
Hirma Hits, q state senator, aligned
politically with Mayor Robert w.
Speer, took possession as assessor
with the aid OF the officers. Hits. at
an adjourned session Of the board OF
supervisors two hours earlier, had
been confirmed by a vote Of four to
three on the recommendation of the
mayor.
The change Of assessors was attended
by great disorder. Arnold was attend
ing meeting when he learned that
the supervisors were taking action
summarily to oust him. Accompanied
by two deputies he hurried to his
office and locked and barred the doors.
When Hits and his supporters ap-
peared they were denied admittance.
An iron bar was produced and a plate
glass window broken. Through this
opening the police crawled, followed
by the new assessor. After lond argu-
ment, during which Arnold refused to
leave, he was told that unless he gave
up the office he would be carried out.
Two detectives took him by the arm
and led him out Of the building, his
deputies being treated likewise. Then
the new regime placed guard at the
doors Of the office and the crowd dis
persed. It Is said Assessor Arnold's re-
fusal to spread on the books an addt-
tional tax levy of three mills precipi-
tated the action of the Hits faction.

Minority Report by House
Committee Denounces the
Democrats for Dropping
Controller Bay Charges

Washington, Dec. 15.- The sudden
ending of the inquiry into the charges
that the government had allowed 8
monopoly of the coal harbor at Con
troller bay, Alaska, was roundly
scored in the republican minority re
port of the house committee on IN
terror department expenses filed to
day. ~
The republicans said that common
decency, If not justice, would have de
manded some Investigation to expose
the author of the fabrication of the
so-called Dick to Dick" letter alleged
to have been written by Secretary OF
the Interior Ballinger to Richard s
Ryan, the latter supposedly represent
ing the Guggenheim interests. ~
The minority report said this expose
should have been permitted even II
the democratic majority was unwilling
for partisan reasons, to "exonerate the
secretary of the interior and other high
officials of the unjust, cruel charge"
"And so the whole fabric Of fabrica
tion, and downright falsehood on
which the investigation was based
falls to the ground" says the minority
report. .Hra. s.s..-, ',,.1sa 4
It also urger a thorough inquiry SC
as to locate the guilty persons and
have some punishment meted out to
them and "to deter others who may
employ falsehood and duplicity in as
sailing officials "..' ......-.
"The action of the majority of the
committee" it said, "can have but one
effect, that of shielding the perpetra'
tor Of the libel and throwing protec
ton around whoever through malice
inspired the cowardly attack on the
president"
Wants "Money Trust" Probed.
A plea for the creation of a special

ENGLISH EXCLUDE
h AMERICAN PACKERS

London. Dec. 15.-The British gov
ernment has decided to exclude the
American meat packers against whom
prosecutions have been instituted in
the United States for rendering con-
tracts for the supply of meat to the
British army and navy, pending the
settlement of suits.
The decision of the government is
due to the opposition Of labor and ad-
vanced radical members of parliament
to the American trusts.
The contracts given out by the war
office which had hitherto been secured
by American firms are now expected
to 60 to Argentine meat packers.

clothes afire, Mrs. L. C. Hemphill,
wife Of a farmer near Reno, ten miles

seven months old babe from the
kitchen to a nearby pond.
A five-foot stone wall separated her
from the water. Quickly she threw the
child over the wall into the water, and
climbing over herself followed it into
the pond. The fire was extinguished,
but not until mother and child were
SO badly burned that they died after

in her arms. was building fire with
