cannon were manned exclusively by
Americans. E. L. Chartentier was the
captain in charge OF the big gun.

while he was in FL Paso after another
pin. W. E. Keeley, of Chicago. took
charge Of the gun and began to fire
with a fuse. An extra heavy load Of
powder blew the breech OF after sew

When the gun blew up the men
rushed to the fight in front without
guns. trusting to find enough in the
trenches to arm them. Some succeeded.
Others failed to get arms after reaching
the firing line.

assault upon an American town; and that
the Mexican federal troops had a perfect
right to train their guns on Juarez, even
II scattering shots fell on the American
side.
IF either the. federal or insurrecto
troops should train their guns on Ell
Paso,' said Senator Bailey by way Of
would quickly relieve the federal govern
ment OF the trouble OF taking any ac-
tion."
Senator Chamberlain, Of Oregon, de-
clared that the treaty Of 1s4s with Mex
leo contradicts and repudiates the posi-
ton taken by Senator Stone.
No Intervention.
President Taft made known yester-
day his determination to persist In his
policy Of noninterference In the Mexican
situation SO long as there remains any
hope Of a settlement Of affairs there
and Of the protection of American life
and property through other means than
armed Intervention.
Though the renewal Of hostilities at
Juarez has troubled the President a great
deal, he is still far from the end Of his
patience and he has no intention as yet
of abandoning his efforts to keep the
fighting away from the border line, and
to keep American residents Of border
towns away from the danger zone when
fighting is in progress.
The apparent loss Of control Of Madero
over the insurrecto forces about Juarez
Is considered as perhaps the most serious
development In the situation yesterday. It
was not, however. altogether unexpected
by the government oficials here.
The confidential reports Of the War De-
partment state that revolution exists In
all but two Of the states In Mexico, and
that only few Of them seem to have any
connection with the Madero revolution.
This situation increases the difficulty Of
handling the question, as there Is no re-
liable head that can Be dealt with.
Meet in Conference.
The President went over the situation
with the Cabinet yesterday. The re-
ports Of the War Department were sub
mitted by Secretary Of War Dickinson.
but no statement was made later a. to
any decision reached. Regarding tho
reports published at various times that
foreign governments had demanded
protection Of their interests In Mexico
from the United States. tho President
told caller yesterday that the only re-
quest which had been received Of this
sort was one from italy.
That government simply asked to
know what policy the United States
would pursue In the protection Of its
interests In Mexico. Beyond this no
foreign government has made any Do
mands on this country with regard to
the Mexican situation.

Senator Stone, of Missouri,
broke loose in the Senate again yes
terday, urging the adoption of a
resolution which, in the opinion of
many Senators, would amount to a
declaration of war against Mexico.
Senator Stone called attention to
The further killing of Americans on
United States soil by Mexican bull
lets. and appealed to the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to
report out his resolution, introduced

hands to protect the lives Of American
people for fear Of war? II that be true.
then we are the degenerate sons Of noble
sires."
Senator Stone began his set speech by
referring in detail to the fatalities from
Mexican bullets at FL Paso.
Il did not propose said Senator Stone
ito invade Mexico with the object Of re-
manning and occupying any territory Of
that country, but to carry across the line
only so much of our army as might be
required to accomplish the immediate end
in view, and after it had been accom-
plished to withdraw our forces from the
Mexican side. insist that we have the
right to do that much in the interest of
humanity, for our own protection. and for
the preservation of public order on the
border line where disorder concerns the
lives and property of our people as well
as the lives and property OF Mexicans."
Stone Has Misgivfngs.
Senator Stone recalled that in a former
speech he had indorsed the action Of the
President in sending a large body Of
troops to Texas. but he now began to
have some misgivings as to the purpose
OF theSe troop movements.
IT did not dream" exclaimed Senator
Stone. that the government of the Unit
ed States was merely engaged upon the
game OF bluff. did not for a moment
suspect that there was any Of the blufr
and temper OF Felstaff IL the War De-
partment. I deemed this a matter too
serious to be dealt with by fuming and
clustering"
Senator Stone declared that the troops
in Ell Paso had not only been warned
against crossing the border, but had
even been ordered to prevent the men
of Texas themselves from defending
their wives. children. and homes.
The fact that Senator Stone is a men,
ber of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions lent Importance to his statements.
and many Senators were plainly trou-
bled over the things he had said.
Senator Bacon, one Of Senator Stones
Democratic colleagues on the commit
tee himself made a strong reply Sena-
tor Bacon's statement Is regarded as
the most important utterance that has
yet been made in the Senate on the
Mexican situation,
It is the understanding that Senator
Bacon's remarks outlined the views
Relations Committee in regard to the
bloodshed at Douglas and Ell Paso.
Senator Bacon declared that there was
no doubt in his mind that the course Of
procedure suggested by the Senator from
Missouri. II followed, would plunge this
country into war.
War Would Result.
IT the United States crossed the Rio
Grande." exclaimed Senator Bacon, ''the
effect would be the same as II match
had been applied to q magazine Blood
she'd would assuredly follow.
The Senator or individual who thinks
troops can cross the border and not
plunge the two nations In war Il an OPP
timist. II war should result, thousands

CONFIDENCE INCREASED.

This incident, in itself disagreeable, has furnished me with more data to assure me that I can count on my sol diers in any case whatever, and that the officers, although they may go astray for moment, never attempt to disobey orders.
 As I feared that some ill-advised soldiers might commit an outrage against General Navarro. l took him, from the beginning, to my house. but as I could not be at his side constantly, and with what passed, I began to fear that he would be injured in my absence. In order to avoid it. took him person ally to the bank of the river So that he might pass over to American territory, where he continues as my prisoner of war. under his word of honor"
 The provisional cabinet met several times today to arrange routine affairs of government Its meetings are held
 in the large east room Of the customs house. where President Taft and Presi- dent DiaZ once met On the green bur lap hangs a portrait of President Taft. A few days ago a painting of Presi- dent Diaz hung beside it Now the gilt-edge frame stands on the floor with the head down.

RAPID MOVEMENT
 IN CAPITOL LOTS
Many New Homes Being Built in
 That Desirable Location.

Since r.. J. Bennitt & Co. and w. M Fickas secured the big holdings of the Salt Lake people around the Cap itol building. things have been nov ing in that ideally located district. The first homes started are now nearing completion
 Among the houses started last week was one on Adams street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth avenues. of James Jones. one of the proprietOrS of the Sanitary Plumbers of North Second avenue. This will be six room modern brick structure, with d splatter dash finish on the outside. Mir Jones spent considerable time in the selection of the architectural de- sign. and he intends to have some thing of beauty.
 Across the street from MT. Jones is the house of A. C. ThorOpsan, a new resident of the city. This is a modern five-room. built of dark hard brick This home is ready for the plasterers and the roof is being put on now Mir Thoroman has what few men in Phoenix can naturally have and that is a terraced yard. as his lot was on particularly high grond, in fact a foot higher than the regular sidewalk grade.
 The beautiful home of the assistant secretary of Arizona, R. A. Kirk at the corner of Sixteenth avenue and Washington has been completed and the family has taken residence in it. Mir Kirk is now applying himself to the beautifying of his yard.
 A R. Cheever who is erecting the largest house now in course of con struction in Capitol addition will soon have his house completed. It is a ten-room brick residence with con siderable porch room. The builder k F.. F.. Mitchell.
 Another beautiful home just start ed is that of Mir. Palmer between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues on Washington Mir Friedel is the con tractor for this place and he advises that the home will be one of the most artistic ones in the city.
 A number of other homes are planned and at last have prospective home buyers been enabled to get a lot in this district. During the com ing summer and fall the busiest part of the residence building section of Phoenix will be that around the Cap ito!
 As was expected the growth of Capitol addition is proving how well people like it. No prettier place in all the city can be found for homes The ground is high and the soil is sandy. thus diminishing the mud hui sance. The lots already have city water. gas. telephone. electricity. a fifteen minute service in street cars Wide avenues laid out when the capitol was built, cement walks in most cases already built. good drain age. are among the features offered.

AN AUTOMOBILE RACE
 AT FAIR GROUNDS
Jack Smith and Billy Tremaine Tried
 Conclusions Yesterday.

Quite a sporting event was pulled off at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon. It was rather an i'm promptu affair but nevertheless in teresting Billy Tremaine, the premier racing driver of Arizona. in an off hand manner challenged Jack Smith of the Standard Auto company to a race to the death with Tremaine's g Hudson. Smith who is some driver himself thought that his diminutive Regal Roadster was about the class jest thing on four wheels and took him up.
 They repaired to the track with all their friends and pulled off one of the fastest races that has ever been held on those grounds. which is say ing great deal as the track is one of the fastest in the country, and has some world records. The outcome was a walk away for the Regal. Ire maine while beaten was not dis heartened and there may be some more contests between these two plucky drivers. The Regal is one of the best little cars that Phoenix peo- pie have ever seen and bids fair to become the most popular car in the market here.
 The Hudson car made 8 mile in 1:f9 1-2 and the Regals time was IBIS I-5. Smith says he is willing to meet any automobile in the city. in the Regal class, for a similar contest.

May 13-Bill Lang got the decision over Jack Lester. the Ameri- can heavyweight. in the sixth round tonight the latter being disqualified for going down without being hit Lester broke away from clinch in a corner and dropped to his knees in the center of the ring and the referee immediately declared Lang the win ner. Lester arose. astOnished. and wanted to continue. saving his arm was wrenched in the clinch and he went down to rest It.
 Twelve thousand people saw the fight. Lang weighed l92 and Lester 1SO. The betting was five to two on Lang Lang was disinclined to force the fighting and Lester made the pace.
 The American, however. was far ahead for a fair share of the fight. His attack was savage and Lang gave ground continually. In the sixth round Lester rushed Lang into cor ner and landed a tremendous swing on Lang's elbow. then broke out of the clinch and went down.

AT THE ROTTOM.

A plot deeply laid, is suspected by the rebel leaders as the cause of the near-riot in front of the Madero head quarters today. and some Maderoists freely venture the opinion that it was a sinister scheme on the part of those who are trying to break up the or ganization of the revolution to foster the opinion throughout Mexico that the movement is one of banditry and am archy.
 Provisional President Madero in a statement issued tonight charged that General OrozcO's actions were melted by persons interested in bringing about disunion among us"
 Early today General OrOZco called on Madero and the two men talked alone for some time Suddenly their voices were raised and the other rebel politica! chiefs rushed into the room only to find themselves held back by some of OroZco's men. A thrOng of soldiers had gathered outside the building and Senor Madero determined to appeal to them. Revolvers had been drawn and rifles were leveled but Senor Madero stood bravely before the crowd and skipping his breast, shouted: Shoot me. shoot me, if you dare
