AID LEWIS KILLS MRS. SMITH.
Wife of Spokane Man Is Shot in Butte,
Mont.

Butte, Mont, April 23.-Believing
that the woman to whom he had en-
trusted his wages had deceived him for

Lewis, old-time miner and pioneer
and resident of Butte, Saturday, with
out uttering a word, shot and killed
Mrs. Mamie Smith, wife of Fred Smith

Bonded knees with her head on the bed
and placed the muzzle of the CUR

EIGHT HOURS, LABoRERs ONLY
Ruling by Attorney General of State
of Washington.

Olympia.-Muscle only, not mind, is
covered by the state eight-hour law, ac-
cording to an opinion given recently to
the state labor commissioner by the
attorney general. Quoting the several
enactments of legislatures, the opinion
concludes:
owe think it may safely be said the
act does not apply to public officers nor
to those engaged in clerical work in
connection with public offices or institu-
tions. 1t would also seem quite clear
that those employed in the state institu-
tions as attendants or nurses, guards or
foremen, are not within the provisions
of the act. The case of a Waterman is
somewhat more difficult, but in our
opinion the act would not apply to one
employed simply to guard or care for
public property where the employment
does not necessitate the performance of
manual labor other than as incident to
the protection of property

The INSURRECTOS In MEXICO
FINALLY AGREE To AGREE
With FEDERALS.
Mexican Government Pleased, as 1t
Means Step Toward Peace-Revolu-
ton Is Good as Ended-Pres. Diaz
Not to Resign and Rebels Insist that
People Get Square Deal.

Washington.-A long step toward re-
storing tranquility in Mexico wars taken
Saturday. After series of unofficial
conferences, including the overtures of
many gobetweens, General Francisco /.
Madero Jr., acknowledged leader of the
instruction, has formally advised DR..
Vasquez Gomez, his diplomatic represen-
tative in the United States, to consum-
mate the armistice with the federal gov
eminent which in the last few days had
been urged by mutual friends.
AT Ell Paso, Texas, it is reported the
members of the peace mission have de-
clared that the revolution in Mexico is
as good as ended. General Madero
agreed to an armistice providing the
government would stop all military OPP
erations and a favorable reply from the
city of Mexico is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion.
Amid the cooling of the peace doves
and the garden of olive branches now
sprung among the desert cacti, Cen
eral Navarro, from the forest of his
gray whiskers, smiled a benevolent
smile and in advance of official orders
released the three American prisoners
Blatt, Converse and Brown, from the
Juarez Jail, where they have been con
fined for eight weeks for participating
in the revolution.
The pease mission met with Genera
Madero in a small adobe house jus
across the river from the smelter an,
General Madero repeated to them hi
statement given earlier to the Asso
ciated Press, that he does not insist upol
the resignation of Diaz as essential t.
negotiations for peace Thus the key
stone of the arch of opposition to EN-
the revolution dropped from its place.
= General Madero said that all he vii
insist upon, in addition to reforms al
ready instituted, is that the people o
Mexico shall have a square deal, as pre-
vided in the constitution.
Members of the mission returned t
FL Paso highly elated. The details O
o their interview with the rebel command
er were not given out, but it is know
many facts hitherto unknown to NJ;
dero were poured into his attentive ear
q He has, it is said, been in almost con
q plete ignorance of what was going o
! outside for more than a month. Will
n every indication points to peace, thel
is, of course, room for some unforesee
. slip to occur. There is no obstacle

MIR. SMITHS MISSION.

The visit of Hon. M. A. Smith
 to Washington may or may not contribute to the securing of
 Statehood for Arizona, but it stands out as about the only intelligent move made recently in the interest of Statehood. Tn the shape into which things have
 been thrown, there is no other
 Arizonan who cOuld-gO so 'fa T toward bringing order out of chaos. There is no other dem Ocrat who has so large an in fuence with the democrat mem- bers in the Senate where the first obstacle is likely to be en- cOuntered. How serious the obstacle may be is q matter of conjecture. There is no other democrat in Arizona who could so strongly appeal to the pre- Sldent for a notifications of the attitude he is supposed to have assumed toward the proposed constitution.
 If the situation should become such that there should be need of cOnciliatiOn between the Con- greSS and the White House there is no other man, democrat or republican. who would contri- butc in a greater degree to con- ciliatiOn.
 At no stage and in no phase is the House likely to ObStruct Statehood proceedings. There would be no serious objection there to the ratification of the constitution in it's present form. Nor do we think that the House would oppose at the last moment any modification of it that would insure Statehood.
 In the Senate there is an entirely different situation. There will be vigorous objection to the constitution as it now stands and there would be vigor- ouS objection to any essen tial change in it to meet the views of the president. Arizona Re publican.

THE OIL FIELDS.
A Large Territory of the Shales
 Has Been Located. P

Tue sday last the Press editor. in company with J. C.. Harman and Archie Chisholm, went out to the new oil fields, fourteen miles west of Benson, and spent two days in looking over the ground.
 The locations of the Arizona Midway, the newly formed Ben son company mentioned in these columns last week, covers in the main large bodies of shaIe, sand stone and cOnglomerate, and fossil sea shells have been found, we are informed.
 Beside various cOlored shales and sandstOncs, there is found in the district jasper, agate and float dolomite lime.
 The ShaleS in the main are reddish, brown, blue and purple in color, and resemble closely the descriptions of the shades in the famous California oil fields. The SandStOneS also compare favorably with the California descriptions, and q novice, at least, is led to the conclusion that oil can be found somewhere Tn the nclgn OOrhOOd.
 As soon as arrangements can be made, we understand, the Arizona Midway will erect a derrick and will com mence drilling operations.
 The locations made by the various companies cover an area three or four miles wide and about eight miles long. The rim of the field crops out at the old Wakefield place and dips northwesterly toward the Rincon

STATEHOOD OUTLOOK IS
 BRIGHT.

Only good news comes from
 Washington, where it.seems that
 the opposition to the admission of the two remaining terri tories has dwindled to d very
 small minority, though at one
 time it appeared to be almost
 overwhelming.
 There is little doubt that tbiS
 change i'll sentiment for state
 hood has been brought about by
 the delegation of Democrats
 now in Washington men who
 have left their business interests and at great personal sacrifice
 have devoted all their energy to
 the cause of statehood under the constitution ratified SO over
 whelmingly by the people of Arizona.
 The extent of the achievements of this little delegation can best. be measured when one considers how little chance there was of admission at the close of the last session of congress. At that time 1t was give out given out in press reports that d dozen or more Democrat senator's who voted for the Owens resolution greSS would be found among the of ArizOna'S con stitution during the extra session and that there would be a major ity of at least 25 in the senate, against the admission O. Arizona.
 As a result of the efforts of the Arizona delegation every Dem ocratic senator With the ox- ception of Bailey of Texas has been enrolled among the friends of Arizona and even some of the old conservative NtandpatterS of the upper house have Significd their intention of voting for the admission of the two new states.
 In addition to the almost solid vote, there will be the full VOtr of tho progressive Re over q dozen of them, md thus is success in the senate assured.
 Then the entire matter will bo up to President Taft and but few believe that the president will be found wanting. The eliminating the re- :all of the judiary from the con- stitution as approved by con gross and leaving it's reincor- DoratiOn in the constitution to q. vote of the people, absolves the chief executive of approval of nat provision which l. distaste- nj 1o him That plan has been greed tp by the Arizona dele 5ation and ail tbat is..required loN is llinc ulg tl5r rattet to e 'oto.
