SEEK TO DELAY DEATH
 PENALTY DUE TODAY

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, June 30.-AI- most in the shadow of the moose, Henry Coats and F. McElvain are risking their hopes for a lease of fife on an emergency appeal filed with the Arkansas supreme court today. Bcrh are under sentence to be hanged on July ].
 Coates was convicted Of numbering Deputy Sheriff Ferguson of Osceola a few months ago. He fled to the Tennessee side after the tragedy ard was taken into custody by Tenne essee officials. Excitement in Mississippi county was high, and it was feared that summary action might be taken should he be returned at once to hat county. Coates declined to come with out extradition papers unless guaran- teed protection.
 A detachment of the Arkansas state guard, commanded by Adiutant Gen. eral Compere, went to Memphis. took charge of Coates and returned him 70 the penitentiary at Little Rock.
 McElvain was convicted on a charge of murdering Jake Thomas last Febru- ary. On account of the irregularlty of the transcripts filed the papers were returned to Osceola for correc- ton. The appeals will doubtless be granted in time to save the men from execution tomorrow.

 There is cause for qualification over the early rains which have
 ome to Arizona this season, and the indications are that the summer rain ing season has started in earnest. As a general rule Arizona does not get as much rain in June as we have this month. If the rains continue now as expected they will provide unusual prosperity in Arizona during the coming year. It will mean ex- cenent crops on much land in the semi-arid valleys where land has been properly prepared for planting and it will mean continued prosper ity for the stock interests of the territory. There has scarcely been any complaint made during the year because of lack of water for irriga- tion and the rainfall during the pres ent month has replenished all the streams and as all the grain crops have been harvested. thus making the needs for irrigation less there is little probability of any scarcity for the balance of the year.

DODGES REPORTERS

NEW YORK, JVne 30.-Collector William Loeb Jr. today declared that all the pleas made by Richard Parr. deputy surveyor of the port. for visiting Chicago to investigate the smuggling charges against Ma than Allen of Kenosha and Mrs Helen Dwelle or Mrs. J. ". Jen- kins, and John R. Collins, their southern friend, were. laid before Secretary of the Treasury Mac Veagh at Washington before Parr started on his trip.
 No Blaekmail in Case.
 The collector today gave out the details of the Parr trips in answer to the statement that the charges against Allen and his friend were the result of attempted blackmail. He denied that there was a sus- lfcion of blaickmail in the case.
 "Parr left New York for Wash ington on May 15." said the col lector. "on the 18th he saw Sec retary MacVeagh from 10 o'clock until II o'clock in the morning. He outlined the entire case to Mir aacVeagh-that he was on his way to Chicago and to Kenosha and that he had a search warrant to seek other importations, as well as that he hoped 10 get the men to tell about the general scheme to bring in smuggled goods.
 Stops at Same Hotel.
 He reached Chicago May % and went to the LaSalle hotel. Mrs. Dwelle had already gone out. He occupied room TIP on the seven teenth floor of the hotel. and she had rooms 150s-9 on the fifteenth floor.
 Mrs. Dwelle had friend. Mrs. Graney. with her. and while she was there Mrs. Lola PilrneU. a sister of Mrs. Dwelle. whose hus. band is Chicago lawyer, came 10 see her Mrs Dwelle and her sister had been at outs for some time but her sister came to the ''otel and asked that old scores be dropped.
 Went Through Papers.
 While Parr was at the hotel tkree detectives had the next room Co his. While he was gone, some one climbed in the window of his room and went through his papers He reported the fact to the hotel clerk
 The collector thinks that these facts show that Parr acted above board with the customs service and the government. He found it ad- visable to make them public on account of the continued statements that Psrr's connection with the in- vestigation would not stand the light The collector gave his aid a clean bill of health.
 The injecture of the Burnen wo- man into the story is a new wrin- kle. Mrs Dwelle had only re- ferred to one sister in her public statements.

IA GLOOMY VIEW
 FROM WASHINGTON.

Leroy Anderson, the prominent at torney of Prescott. has recently re-
 turned rom Washington City and
 he gives il as his opinion that the people of Arizona had just as well forget statehood for the present. at
 least during the remainder of the
 present session. Mir. Anderson re-
 turns to Arizona asserting his belief that President Taft will veto the
 statehood resolution now pending in the senate if it is ever sent to him, because of his unalterable determin- ation not to approve anything which
 might be construed as even an indi- rect approval of the recall of judges. Mr. Anderson asserts the belief that the only thing which could now fa- eilitate our statehood progress would be a general request from Arizona to congress asking that the recall Of the judiciary be entirely eliminated from the Arizona constitution and the Territory admitted on that basis. This paper suggested several weeks and months ago that statehood would be helped along if George W. P. Hunt and the radical leaders of the would take the lead in a movement for the elimination of the recall of judges from the con sttution and we believe now that these gentlemen would gladly do this if they did not fear that they would weaken themselves with the socialist and extreme radical democratic vote in the territory. Certainly every man who believes that statehood would add to our industrial prosper ity would be willing to go into the union with the constitution as it would remain after the recall of judges had been stricken out, as it would be easy for the people to supply that feature of the fundamen- tai law at any time in the future that a majority of the voters desired it. It was known in Arizona that the recall feature of the Arizona constitution would be almost certain
 to delay our admission into the
 union, if indeed 1t did not destroy
 our hopes entirely, so far as the
 present congress is concerned. The
 constitutional convention delegates were warned of this danger. but the extreme radicals who controlled that body refused to listen to those who sought to advise them on thls mat ter. Now. Arizona must pay the for felt because of this unreasonable rad
 realism. by remaining out of the
 union.

ARsuRDITY OF
 RECALL IN ACTION.


 The following from the Portland oregonian, of June IT. shows upon what slight excuse the recall Of the judiciary provision is invoked in Oregon. and how unlikely it s that the voters can properly weigh the question Of law involved;
 No sooner have the ardent sup porters Of the recall made the pIea that it will only be used against judges in rare and aggravated cases than the recall is invoked against Judge John s. Coke on the ground that he gave biased instructions to the jury n a murder trial
 The question appears to be one of law only. of which the great majority of voters have only a smat- tering. Yet. if the recall petition secures the required number of sig natures, it will be necessary for each voter in order to form de- oision whether 10 vote for or against Judge Coke. to read and understand all the evidence in the trial of Roy McClallen, all the law relating to it and the instructions to the jury. All the voters of six counties viii constitute a court Of appeal from. Judge Coke's decision and will try Judge Coke and incidentally try McCiallen again. The lawyers on both sides of the McClanen case will be apt to take the stump and argue the case before all the voters of the six counties. who are all so learned in the law that they are fully competent 10 review the acts of a judge who has made the law his life study and yet would no doubt admit that he does not yet know all there is to know about the law.
 What sort of effect will this pro ceeding have on Judge Coke and op other judges? We are frequent ly reminded that judges are human and prone to err. How much more prone will they be to err fl in in- terpreting the law, they are practic- ally required not only to interpret the law but to consider how the voters will regard their interpreta- tiong Being Only human. as the recallers so frequently remind us, the judges will be tempted to de eide not according to the law, but according to the interpretation the voters wish for the time being to be put upon it. For. being only human, the judges wish to hold their jobs.
 But will the voters cast their bal lots according 10 whether they, with their snattering of law, think the instructions in the McClallen case were biased or not? WIH many o. them not vote according to the.r opinion whether, on general pTin eiples, McClaIlen should be pun ished; whether they know him and think him a good fellow; wheth- CT they know the man be killed and think it a shame to have killed him. whether McCiallen or his vie tim was a member of The same lodge: whether Judge Coke is a member of the same lodge or de csded a case for or against them or some friend or relative Of the vos- CT. Some of these considerations may be aIls~Ss.o i- the election of A tudge in the first instance, but ,n.~ shouId be excluded when a s,,a1s'. action in some specific case is challenged. Yet we know they esuno, be excluded and we may
