Section IL, page IA, line Z, this amend
ment has been added to the bill (but not
taken up in its regaular turn. 1t reads
as follows: Where shot firers are en-
ployed. the expense incurred shall be
borne by the miners. Should the shot
firers, which are to be employed by the
companies average but one to each mine,
as there are 160 mines in operation in
the state, this at the rate of $3.50 per
day per shot firer for 300 working days.
would cost the miners $16S,000 per year.
and some of the larger mines now en-
ploy from four to nine shot firers.
Section 10. page IA, line 20 to rs. in
elusive. and all of page IL and 16. are
stricken out This amendment strikes
at the very heart of the bill and in our
opinion destroys its intent and effective
ness. as it cuts out practically all pro-
lection from fires, and increases the
dangers therefrom, by allowing the use
of combustible material in doors, cas-
ings, over casts. etc.
Section 10. page Is, lines and s.
These words are stricken out: "All work
ing places shall be sprinkled with water
for a distance of 60 feet from the work
ing face before shot firing" This is the
initial point of at least so per cent of
our dust and gas explosions.
Section IA, page II, line 13. " Ventil-
alton" The minimum amount of air en-
tering a mine. now provided by law, is
100 cubic feet per minute per man, and
500 cubic feet per minute per animal
This In our judgment is not any too
much air. the law as amended places the
regulation in the hands of the coal mine
inspector. This in our judgment is a
matter OF too great Importance to be
placed in the hands of any one man. and
should continue to be regulated by the
law OF the state.
Section IA. page 10. line 16. In all
mine fans shall be kept running continu-
ously.T is amended to read except where
shots are being fired" We object to this
most strenuously as shots are fired in
almost every mine in the state.
Section "a. page So line 10. IAN coal
mines fans should be kept running continu-
car In which II is removed from the mine
before II is screened" As amended 1t
now reads. unless otherwise agreed
upon between the owner and the miner
at any mine" This amendment. while
II might appear to be Of very little i'm
portance. is a most vital one. and will
result in reduction of at least 30 per
cent in the earning power of the miners
of the state. This practice has been the
cause OF more industrial struggles in the
coal mining industry than any other
question that ever caused a strike

Westgard Party
 Left This Morning

(From Mondays Daily ExaminerI
 The Westgard party of tourists from New York to Los Angeles, arrived in Yuma Sunday morning instead of Sat urday evening as expected.
 They .were delayed between Caliente and Yuma by tire trouble.
 The banquet which was to have been given them Saturday night at the Stag Cafe was postponed until last evening.
 On account of being up practicalts all night, few of the visitors got up much before noon yesterday, but et 200 D. m. the local citizens with all the available autos, met them at the Gandolfo and showed them over the orange grove, down in the valley and back up to the reclamation grounds, where Project Engineer Sel1e'w kindly allowed the visitors and citizens tU go down in the great sipnon under the river and inspect the work.
 This proved an interesting treat for the visitors. -
 At 80 last night there was an inn promptu reception to the visitors at the parlors of the Hotel Gandolfo, and at S:30 all adjourned to the Stag Cafe where the delayed banquet was ten dered the visitors, and also the crowd from Braswley and Fl Centro V journeyed to Yuma to escort the visi- tors to the Imperial valley and to bid them welcome.
 The banquet at the Stag proved ev- erything to be desired and swas much enjoyed by all.
 The visitors left this morning for Brawley, much pleased with Yuma and the treatment accorded them while here.
 In the party were MT. and Mrs. A. l.. Westgard, MT. and Mrs. J. F. Foote, MT. and Mrs. John Legg, w. J. Studwell, R. l.. Fox, S. B. Glad ding, w. F. Harris, H. D. Ashton, M. H. Asbury.

Burglary Yesterday
;From Mondays Daily EXam1rer)

;From Mondays Daily EXam1Eer)
 Always when a circus comes to town there is usually a burglary or two.
 This, of course, cannot be laid at the door of the circus, but rather at the door of the hangers on who follow a circus.
 Yesterday proved no exception to the rule, and the residence of Charley Corners, on Second avenue was enter ed and from the room of a roomer at the house some burglar or burglars secured two suits of clothes, two hats and about $13 or $14 in silver whicl the young man had left in a drawer in the room.
 The loss was not discovered until late yesterday afternoon and there was no clue to the burglars.

 He has the support of many leading Democrats as swell as Republicans.
 There is not spot upon his rec ord and he is universally conceded to be the man for the place.
 That the people will elect him, there is hardly a doubt.

Closing Down of
 Clara Consolidated

News comes from Swansea that the Clara Consolidated mine and smelUei closed down on the 18th, lndeflnltely
 It is stated that the company was unable to pay its obligations to US men in full, but gave the married men s5O each and the single men $25 each with due bills for the remainder of the amounts due them. These they are privileged to sell if they can find buy CTS for them.
 The closing down of the Swansea property, does not come as a surprise, but rather as disappointment. It has been hinted at for long time, and It has been known that the company Nwas in close way financially.
 There were rumors of close down some months ago, but the manage ment weathered the situation, secured a little money, paid off its labor obll- cations, and it was understood that It was then T0duy lOA 1 ter rum
 The information was given out that the latter Kwas not a success because of a lack of fluxing ores. Also new hone was instilled into the Clara pro- iect bv the announcement that George Mitchell who was the original promor- CT. had gone to Europe to either IT. nance or sell the property.
 MT. Mitchell has successfully engl- neered some large undertakings, in fact. raised the major part of the first development and construction fund abroad, and it was hoped that he would be successful in that enterprise.
 No one at Swansea seems to know anything as to >what success MT. Mt chell is meeting. It may be that he will accomplish his purpose and that operations will be resumed at no dis tant day, for the Clara has always been considered a big property, and it's present equipment and develop ment represents an expenditure of al most $3,OOO, ,0O0.
 If it is a mere matter of fluXing ores or some necessary change in the plant, it would appear that under present conditions in Arizona, capital should be induced to lend a helping hand.

pei the railroads to obey it's orders, the commission has achieved splendid les suits in securing lower rates, due prin- cipally to the scientific and business like manner in which DePass has shown the railroads their rates wero too high. He has secured results in every case he has handled.
 DePass has been in the rate and traffic departments of the railroad business practically all his life and is considered one of the most expert in that line in the southwest. His ability has been signally recognized by his ap- pointment as chairman of the commit tee on Rates and Rate Making" Of the National Association of Railway Commissioners, an organization of all the state railroad commissions in the United States, and as a member of several other important committees ot the same organization.
 In his fight against the railroads, De Pass has demonstrated his ability to hold his own with the best traffic and legal talent and has shown conclu- sively that the corporations have no terrors for him and no influence on him whatsoever.
 The record of DePass is absolutely clean and his character is above re- proach. If elected, he pledges himself to perform the duties of corporation commissioner in an honest, efficient and business like manner, and that he will devote all his time, energy and ability to securing just and reasonable rates of all public service corporations
 This is the kind of a man needed in the state offices, and as he has dis tinctly made pood as corporation con- missioner, the people of Arizona should give him an opportunity to serve them further by electing him a member of the corporation commission where he will have the power to do really big things for the new state.

Indians Run AmuCk
 One Indian Shot
tFrom Mondays Daily ExaminerJ

(From Mondays Daily Examiner
 Three Indians loaded up on fire wat CT or other combustibles yeSterCay afternoon. and while ill a EIalldl!n state of intoyication, they started to lake in the side show features of the circus
 They were discovered intoxicated in the side show by Officer Juan Zavala, who attempted to place all three o1 them pnGer arrest.
 The Indians resisted arrest however, and all three of them turned on Off, cer Zavala and one of them hit him on the head with the butt end of gun.
 Officer Zavala then turned on this with the Officer after him. Seeing that he could not catch the Indian on foot Officer Zavala jumped on his horse, standing near, and rode the Indian down.
 III IuS IuOduIl1lC IllO OIANA had run out of the tent and one ot them developed gun and took a shot at Officer Zavala.
 This shot was directed right into the crowd where there were dozens of VI onlen and children, and Derlty Sher- iil Jas Kinney ran out of the crowd and toward the drunken Indian.
 The Indian then took two shots at the deputy sheriff and still toward the crowd, before MT. Kinney could devei- op his own gun.
 By this time Marshal Levy and Dep uty Sheriff Sexsmith appeared on the scene and in the meantime Deputy Sheriff Kinney had concluded it was l.. tter to kill the Indian than it was to let him kill some innocent woman or child, and he took shot at the Indian, the bullet taking effect in the pit of the stomach and dropping the Indian where he could no further harm.
 In the meantime Marshal Levy and Officer Sexsmith and Under Sheriff Riley were having their hands full with the third Indian.
 It took three of them to load him in- to the wagon and this only after they had partly beaten him into insensibil- 7ity.
 Later MT. Zavala came back with the Indian he had started in pursuit of, and this accounted for all three of them
 Drs. Clymer and Knotts were called, as we'll as Doctor ApJohn, and the wounded Indian was removed to the ApJohn hospital for treatment.
 The other two Indians were lodged in jail.
 Dr. Clymer stated today that with no infection or blood poisoning the wounded Indian would live.
 A charge of resisting an officer has been placed against the other two and they will be given a hearing before Judge J. C. Jones.
 All the officers, and especially Off cer Kinney deserve credit for stopping quickly, what might have proved the death of some innocent bystander.

DePasS Has Made Good

E.. s. DePass, of Phoenix, member of the Arizona Railway Commission, and Republican nominee for the office of corporation commissioner, has been one of the most active workers in Ari zona to secure reasonable and fair railroad rates.
 He makes no claim to being a poll tician and was appointed on the rail- way commission, not through any po- litical influence whatever, but solely for the reason of his thorough know ledge of railroad matters and his abil- ity to conduct the affairs of the office.

Found Dried Fish
,From Yuma Examiner,

tfTCuu Ullld AtJuitfC1'
 J. c. North, the local Wells-Fargo agent, went hunting yesterday, and while he discovered no live game to speak of, he did run across a remark able dried fish.
 The fish was about foot long, and presumably was left by the receding waters of the late overflow, high and dry. After death the ants must have cleaned the inside of the skin very thoroughly, as nothing but the head and skin remain, but this is intact; not being a break anywhere, while the sun beating down on the skin has dried it out until it is almost as hard as rock
 MT. North intends to send it to the Smithsonian Institute.

Abrogation Talk Taken Ser
iously to Heart BY Cars
Government.
DIPLOMATIC PARLEY ENDS
Resolution Under Consideration May
Mean War Between Uncle Sam and
Nicholas Empire, If Passport Mat
ter Is Pushed by This Country.

Washington, D. c.. Dec 16.-That
the Sulzer resolution, to abrogate the
1892 treaty with Russia would be
considered an "insult to Russia" if
enacted into law, is the substance of
a message conveyed to President
Taft by Secretary of the State Depart
viously conferred with Ambassador
Bakhmeteff of Russia.
Diplomatic negotiations, seeking
the settlerient of the passport ques-
ton have been broken off as a result
of Russias dissatisfaction over the
houses action.
Russias message was not a threat.
1t does not object to the abrogation of
the treaty but don't l Ike the language
used by Congressman Sulzer in his
resolution, which flatly charges Rus
sia with bad faith.
Congressman Sulzer consulted with
President Taft and Secretary Knox,
saying that Russia's talk of insult is
unfounded
The white house says that the entire
situation is now in the hands of the
senate foreign relations committee and
that it is up to them.
Congressman Sulzer said he believ-
ed the resolution wo.Ird pass the sem
ate whether Russia protested or not.
Congressman Mann, of Illinois, mi
nority leader, who opposed the work.
ing of the resolution, said:
IF the resolution passes the sem
ate. Russia can, if she desires. shut
out all Americans, if the treaty is
abrogated. If we are then determin-
ed that Americans shall go into Rus
sia. that country can only force its
exclusion by conquering us at the
end of war.
President Taft called a special ses-
sion of the cabinet this afternoon to
consider the Sulzer resolution. An
executive session began at o'clock
