 Suffered Severely ONE WOMAN BADLY INJURED
Commercial Hotel and Many Other Buildings in Wink elman Were Demolished. Requests for 45 Tents Re- ceived by Phoenix Firm.

The towns of Winkelman and Hay
 den. particularly the former, suffered
 disastrously last night about o'clock
 from wind storm and cloudburst
 The Commercial hotel and numerous other buildings in Winkelman were demolished and it is understood sev-
 eral structures in Hayden were razed. one woman in Winkelman being se- verely injured. Whether others were
 hurt, or anyone killed, could not be
 learned last night as wire communi-
 cation with Winkelman was cut off
 and but little could be heard from
 Hayden.
 The first news of the storm came in a rumOr that a Phoenix business
 house had been requested to send
 fOrty-five tents by this mornings train to Winkelman. Thereafter no wire communication could be estab- lished with either town, but the dis patcher's office of the Arizona East ern had in the meantime, secured
 some information from the railroad office in Hayden. It was learned that a man had come to Hayden from Winkelman with the intelligence that
 a terrific wind storm broke over the | town about 5 o'clock, Southern Pa | cific time, or o'clock Phoenix time. ! followed by a cloudburst, and that many houses had been blown down. | The only one specifically named was | the Commercial hotel which, the
 courier stated, was completely de- | molished He had learned that one woman was badly hurt, presumably
 from falling timbers, but he did not ' give her name.

As Winkelman is situat- | ed on the bank of the Gila river, and | there are numerous shacks and small houses near it. and in the nearby arroyos, it is quite possible 1t will | be found that there was loss of life as we'll as property.

 of the Ray Consolidated Copper com pany, and is a much larger place | than Winkelman, but it is better | built and farther from the river. The
 storm was severe there and 1t is un-

Had Little to do With Pure Food Mat
 ters.

Washington, D. C.. Aug. 16-Dr. liar vey Wiley, chief chemist, testified be- fore the house committee Investigating the affairs of the department of agri- culture today, that he had surrendered all his authority for enforcing the pure food laws to Dr. Dunlap, assistant chemist. and George P. McCabe, solici- tor of the. department. He was over ruled in two thirds of the cases that he brought before the board composed of these two men and himself, and he de- clared that it was useless to appeal to Secretary Wilson. He had not receiv- ed answer to the most important ap- peals he had made to Wilson.
 Wiley declared that he never received the Rusby letter used by the personnel board to prove that he knew Of the Rusby contract. In using the letter. Wiley said the board left out the most important part. namely, that which stated that the arrangement would be made with the approval of the de- partment" Wiley said that McCabe held the decisive vote of the board of pure food inspection. When Wiley and Dunlap disagreed on questions of chem listry. McCabe decided whether the prosecution should be made. He was no chemist. In fully hundred cases Wiley said, where he and Dr. Dunlap voted together. Dunlap changed his vote to agree with McCabe.
 "Did you appeal to Secretary Will son?" asked a member of the commit tee.
 .T found it useless te- appel" said Wiley. "for the secretary invariably up- held the decisions of the board"
 Wiley left the city one day at o. clock to go to Boston. Between then
 and 4:sO the board" held meeting | and overruled the order permitting the manufacturers to use sulphureous
 process. without publishing the fact
 on their labels. He appealed but the secretary upheld the board

DETERMINED TODAY
 STATEHOOD OR NOT Chairman Flood of House Committee Thinks Chances
 Are Slim CHAIRMAN SMITH OF THE SENATE MORE OPTIMISTIC
The Hitch Occurs in Democratic Proposal to Suggest an Amendment to the New Mexico Constitution Which Senator Nelson Says Will Not Be Accepted By the Upper House. The Joint Committee Will Meet This Morning. z2 :,s

Mexico. The wording of the resolu- tion as proposed by senator Nelson, it was declared by the house commit tee. does not fully meet the criticisms that the constitution is too difficult of amendment. Mir Nelson is said to have replied that nothing further in this connection would be agreed to in the senate at this time.
 There is some chance of agreement but not much" said MT. Flood after the conference Chairman Smith, of the senate committee is more optim- istic.
 "There is a strong likelihood that the house and senate may agree to a joint resolution admitting Arizona and New Mexico" said Mir. Smith. 'The issue raised by the presidents veto. so for as Arizona is concerned, will probably be met by constitu- tional amendment that the recall shall not apply to judicial officials. The constitution of New Mexico is critic ised by some members of the house and senate because of the difficult amendment. Both committees are now considering the question Of SUD- mitting to the voters or I~tH heA'So a constitutional amendment to change the constitution in this respect.
 While hundreds of messages were received at the White House today praising the president for his veto message aimed at the recall of judges in the Arizona constitution. there was one that was most unexpected It was a telegram from a half dozen citizens of New Mexico.
 Majority of the republican party as we'll as minority of the people of this territory wish to extend to you our hearty congratulations on your message vetoing the Flood resoiu- ton. We prefer another year if nec- essary rather than endorse the re- call of Arizona" it read.
 In reply the president sent the foi- lowing:
 Thank you very much for your telegram of August 15. The splri' with which you bear the disappoint- ment of delayed statehood reassures me. and strengthens me in my con- victions with respect to the perfor- nance of my unpleasant duty.

Washington, Aug. 16.-StatehOod for Arizona and New Mexico now hinges on the success tomorrow of the proposed attempt in the senate and house of committee to frame jointly a compromise resolution ap- proving their constitution. New Mexi- co will become a state at the end of he next sesson of congress unless congress meanwhile disapproves it's constitution. The president has al- ready approved New Mexico's con- stitution. but has disapproved that of Arizona If a new resolution to supplant the one vetoed by the presi- dent should become a law at this session, both Arizona and New Mexi- co will be admitted to the union at once.
 "The only advantage New Mexico can possibly get under the proposed resolution" said chairman Smith, or the senate committee on territories tonight, "is the prompt approval by the present congress of its constitu- ton and its immediate admission in- stead of admission at the end of the next regular session of congress.
 This situation is followed closely by democrats and republicans because of the differing political conditions in the two territories. Sub-commit- tees of the house and senate commit tees on territories held conference today but little progress was made Tomorrow the senate committee will meet at ten o'clock in the morning and agree on a program, and at eleven o'clock will receive the house subcommittee headed by chairman Flood.
 The conference today was held on the assumption that the proposed resolution would provide for the elim- ination of the judiciary recall from Arizona's constitution, thus making if acceptable to the president. Diff ferences arose as to how the resoiu- ton should be worded on this point and in regard to the proposed amend ments to New Mexico's constitution relating to the manner of amending - that instrument.
 The most serious difference between the two committees is said to be in regard to the constitution of New

His Machine is at the Bottom of the

Chicago, Aug 16.-Arthur Stone ternational aviation meet today, after hopes of his life were given up. How ard Gill came almost as close to death. but escaped after the wreck of his machine. Lincoln Beachey, arising 5000 feet in the air, had his engine go dead" but glided to the earth safely in front of the judges stand
 Stones machine fell into the lake just at dusk. He leaped into the water, and was rescued by a motor boat, just as he was exhausted, after being in the water nearly an hour. His machine went to the bottom.
 That Stone was not drowned, was due to the efforts of his wife. In spite of the order to all aviators to wear life preservers, Sotne started without one. Just as his machine was rising, his wife rushed up and tied an inflated inner tube on his back. around his shoulders.
 Many flyers, unnerved by the deaths yesterday, protested that it was not safe to rise to day in the face of the strong wind. The judges. however, were insistent, and finally half a dozen arose, and started on the cross-water race around the in take of the crib, three half miles out in the lake Stone fell in the second lap.
 Gill, of the Wright team, furnished the first thrill of the day. when his machine suddenly checked as he skinned over the ground after land ing, and toppled over with terrific force. Gill was entangled in the wreckage, but later crawled out un- hurt.
 Beacheys landing was most spec tacular. Coming down so steep a slant it seemed he must lost con- trol and topple over, nevertheless he handled the machine admirably, and landed without a jar in front of the judges stand. When the engine went dead" he was more than 5000 feet in the air. Beachey was an easy winner of the nine-mile race around the pylons. and finished in nine min utes. 2S 2-5 seconds. Beachey also made the days altitude record thouh unofficial. reaching 7,O76 feet Thomas Sopwith won the cross-wat- CT race of 14 miles. His time was IT minutes. and two seconds.

 The girl was taken to the station house, and pleaded nearly the entire night to be allowed to go back to her jailor Today she broke down, and sobbed out her story to Dis trict Attorney Goodsell.

 She is 21 years old. She fell in love with the dentist while a school girl, going to his office for profess sional work. The father of the girl, seeing the drift of things, beat Me David fearfully in a fist fight. and thought he had broken his daughters affection. Later, however. the rela- tions were resumed and the girl soon disappeared. The girl said McDavid occasionally took her out on dark nights riding in the outskirts. and she was heavily yelled. Those were the only times she was allowed to leave the room. At other times she saw the dentists wife, and family, riding by. The girls parents say that a former wife of McDavid in suit for divorce. related an exper- fence similar to Miss McDonald's. McDavid refused to make a state ment
