El Paso, Tex, Feb. 21.-Dr. C. F. q.
Caracreiti, the reputed spokesman for
Francisco l. Madero, when shown the
Associated Press dispatches quoting
Mexican secretary of the treasury, Ii

changed from it's original text.
I'm this | agree with Creel. but if

only see a trap for the insurgents, as
Limantour's position can only reflect
Foxy Grandpa Diazs policy to tenn

expected such a declaration from
either Governor Ahumada or General
Reyes, we look with suspicion on his

people and if he is elected it must be

LANGFORD BEATS
LANG HANDILY
BIG AUSTRALIAN is BEATEN ALL
OVER THE RING BY AMER
iCAN NEGRO.
Lang Disqualified in the Sixth, But
He Was All But Out at the
Time.

London, Feb. 21.-Bill Lang, who
once held the championship of Aus
tralia, was no match for Sam Lang
ford, the American negro pugilist, in
a scheduled 20-round bout at the
Olympia tonight.
Langford won in the sixth round
when Lang was disqualified, but the
contest could not have. gone much
longer as Lang was almost out when
he committed the foul
Six thousand spectators gathered at
the olympia to witness what they ex-
pected would be a long and fast fight
and they showed great disappoint-
ment when the contest ended so
abruptly. After six fierce rounds,
when Langford was down the Aus
tralian in dazed sort of way, rushed
at the negro and struck him and i'm.
mediately the referee proclaimed
IAngford the winner.
Saying a good big man will always
beat good little man. proved fall
lacy, fer the Australian, with all his
natural advantages, including an extra
80 pounds in weight, was hopelessly
outclassed by the negro who walked
into him and hit him from all angles
where and when he willed
Lang was all nerves. He seemed
frightened and ais disqualification was
the best thing that could have hap
pened for he was so groggy that he
was bound to have been put out if he
had not transgressed.
The only redeeming feature of
Langs showing was his gameness in
taking punishment. AS early as the
first round Langford punched him all
about the ring. In the second the
negro forced the Australian into
neutral corner and dropped him for a
county of nine with terrific rights and
lefts to the jaw.
Lang went down again for nine in
the third round with a right to the
point of the jaw, but came back in the
fourth and stood up and exchanged
rights and lefts with Langford at a
terrific rate. At that period of the
bout of Lang's eyes We're almost
closed and Langford was laughing.
The Australian took long count
twice more in the fifth, but in spite
of the heavy punishment, he carried
the fight to Langford the next time
up and in a fast fighting rally put
the latter down, but this was more by
accident than anything else Lang was
greatly excited and pretty hazy by this
time and he rushed his opponent,
striking him heavily before Langford
could regain his feet.

PHOENIX TO GET SHOPS.

Four hundred thousand dollars have
been voted by the executive committee

the preparatory work of building the
largest railroad shops in the south
west at Phoenix, says the Arizona
Democrat
The money was voted at the meet
ing held in New York on Tuesday or
Wednesday of last week, at which
the completion of the road through
the Box Canyon was discussed. IN
formation to that effect was wired ex-
clusively to the Democrat by the Globe

The members of the executive com
mittee following the meeting, refused
to give out the business transaction
for publication, except to say that i,
had decided to leave the Box Canyon
matter in abeyance until the decisi0r
is expected early in September.
The fact, however, that the Southern
Pacific has voted the money for loca
ing big railroad shops in Phoenix

cicion in the Box Canyon matter be
for the railroad company or in favor

The annual fire loss in the United
States is something enormous, and
in view of the fact that it is much
greater per capita than it is in Eu-
rope the conclusion is reached thai
carelessness and incompetency must
exist A concrete illustration is the
forest fire in the San Bernardino
mountains. 1t was admittedly one of
the worst fires that ever occurred in
southern California, and according to
those who are conversant with the
situation, under proper direction it
could have been easily extinguished

THE SKUNK A FRIEND,

Arizona is paying out something
like $4,000 yearly for skunk pelts.
According to DR.. A. K. Fisher, the
eminent biologist in charge of that
department of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, the saving of
that $4,000 would be mere Incl
dent in the enormous saving to the
farmers by taking the bounty off
the dooriferous little beasts to breed
and flourish under an actual protec-
ton system.
In other words, DR.. Fisher would
make the skunk republican party
emblem by placing him under a pro
;ective tariff.
Dr. Fisher is not joking. The noted
Washington scientist has aroused all
YJvapai county by his lectures before
the board of trade in Prescott, in
which he deplOred the attempts being
made in that county to exterminate
nCI only the skunk, but certain other
animals and birds, which, he asserts
rank with the skunk as the farmer 5
frCnds.
4-ccording to DR.. Fisher, prairie
dogs are increasing at a great rate in
tie agricultural sections of Arizona
because Of the merciless war upon
skunks under the bounty system The
biological expert declares also that
the yCurg of the prairie dog are a
dainty morsel for the pole cat and
that the slaughtering of thousands
of the latter is a cause of the enOr-
nous increase in the prairie dog pest
So impressed has Yavapai county
become through the efforts of DR.
Fisher that the slogan has been
raised remove the bounty from
skunk hides" and a campaign has
l. cen inaugurated which will likely
spread all over Arizona and have
its lruitiCn at the first session of the
state Legislature.
