SONORA SENDS TROOPS

GUAYMAS, Son., Mex. March G. The Cientificos are making desperate efforts to provoke trouble in various been sent to the Yacqui Indians using every means to persuade them to rise against Madero and the established government of the state.
 That the Cientificos are offering the Yaquis large sums of money and the qui river valley if they will murder settlers, both Mexicans and Americans in isolated places, was the word brot today by the peace commissioner, Gen. B. J. Viljoen, who returned from an extended trip to the northern part of the state, He said only one Yaqui chief and a few hundred men are now in revolt and asserts that they are be- ing urged on by the Cientificos with utterly impossible promises. Gen. Will joen went as far north as Punta de Agua, the extreme northern part of the Bacatete mountains.
 It became known today that the se- cond mission from the peace commits sion to the. Yaquis was entirely wip- ed out, but it is denied that the whole sale slaughter of the peace body was done by the Yaquis. Gen. Viljoen de clares they fell victims to bandits in the mountains.
 Sonora has sent 1,500 troops from near Cananea to attack the rebels who are marching on Mexico City from Chihuahua.

 w. M. Riggs, president; John H. Slaughter, first vice president; W. H. Neel, second vice president; Thomas Hodd, secretary and treasurer.

 A resolution was passed calling for the first annual meeting of the assoc iation to be held at Wilcox on the 14th of the present month. This meet ing is for the purpose of specially con- sidering matters of interest to the stockmen of the state and making such recommendations to the legisla- ture concerning the brand tax law, leasing of public lands, etc, as may be determined on at the first annual meeting.
 The result of a discussion by the cattlemen was a recommendation to the board of supervisors that they provide for the county rangers as al lowed by law.

TO ENFORCE GAMBLING LAW

KINGMAN-At the meeting of the board of supervisors of this county, the officers whose duty it is to sup press crime, were notified to rigidly enforce the law relating to gambling and the frequenting of saloons by wo- men. In conformity with the law a circular letter has been prepared and will be at once sent to all saloons and saloon keepers of the county notifying them that drastic action will be taken for any infraction of the law. Gamb- ling in the county has been wide spread and it has drawn in many un- desirable people that the county can well afford to lose.

General Trevino.


 General Trevino' long service in the army and the high esteem in which he is held is to be counted upon to build up the military, while Calderon, the head of the Liberal party, has a large following of bolting Maderistas, who became dissatisfied with Madero early in the election campaign.
 Robles Dodinguez endured impris- sonment at the hands of General Diaz from November to May for his affili- :ation with the Madero rebellion. Since that time, for failure to receive what he considered proper recognition for his service or for other reasons he has become antagonistic and has repeated ly predicted the early downfall of the Madero administration.
 Maero,s repudiation of Dr. Vasquez fGomez, the original nominee for the vice presidency with Madero on the reform platform and his substitution of Pino Suarez is generally conceded to have been the beginning of his troubles.

A BOOST THAT KNOCKS
A Roosevelt Button Suggests that Teddy's Joint Statehood" Chicks
 Are Home to Roost.

PHOENIX-The first spike in the Arizona is concerned, was placed this morning, when a number of small but tons, bearing an excellent likeness of the Colonel and with the words, Arizona for Joint Statehood" were received in the city.
 To the casual observer it would ap- pear that any buttons bearing Roose- velt's likeness would be intended as a boost for the Oyster Bay Backslider, and that the man wearing the same was for Teddy, first, last and all the time.
 Such, however, is not the case. The Roosevelt buttons that are being worn locally were ordered and are being worn by the Taft adherents, the true significance being in the fact that Roosevelt was the father and chief mover in the plan to annex Arizona to New Mexico and admit the two ter ritories as one state.
 To recall to the people of Arizona the fact that Roosevelt endeavored to make Arizona the tail of the New Meyico kite, it is believed will not ma terially assit thee hances or boom the game for the Strenuous One. Hence the button
 The first button to reach Phoenix adorns the coat of Ned Creighton, a local politician of some note.-Demo- crat.

HOW TAX MONEY |S l SPENT BY TOWN
 OFFICERS
Health and Appearance of Town Greatly Improved Since the Incorporation Went
 Into Effect

The following figures, compiled from the books of the town corpora tion by Clerk Mat Danenhauer will furnish an interesting and accurate array of facts for the perusal of those who foot the bills" Clifton was in- corporated in June 1909, not three years ago and in the meantime the status of the town has changed com pletely and much for the better. The items published are among the most important in amount, and in the good accomplished to taxpayers. For street improvements and the building and upkeep of roads $S,374.47 has been expended. Fire protection, including the install lation of fire plugs and the mainte- nance of water service system has cost s3,301.84.
 The sanitary department, including quarantine expense, sanitary inspec- tion and removal of garbage, etc., call ed for an outlay of $5,57O.5O.
 Street lighting, including installa- tion and repairs of street light sys- tenn, $4,249.17.
 The investment in teams and equip ment and the feeding of animals call ed for S2,969.47.
 It has cost s3,S1155 for street sprinkling.
 The burial of pauper dead cost $24950.
 These amounts total $32, ,23322, for a period of nearly three years.
 The town has always been on cash basis, has no debts and there has been good cash balance on hand each year end, a state of affairs rarely to be found in incorporated towns or cities
 The salaries of town clerk and mar shal and the cost of office supplies, publishing, etc, are not included in the above.
 In addition to clean streets, well lighted and frequently sprinkled, the most noticeable benefit to citizens is to Joe found in the improvement of health conditions. Before Clifton was incorporated typhoid fever was al most epidemic every season and the physicians had all they could do to care for the sick from various cauS- es, mostly attributable to poor sani- tary conditions.
 There are very few cases of fever today and contagious diseases are practically unknown. A comparison with other towns and cities of equal size shows Clifton at the top for health, according to the annual re- port of the State Health officer.
 Mayor Fraser, the board of alder men and the officials appointed by them are to pc sincerely congratulated on the showing made by their admin stration.

Madero to Resiqn

Another report was said to originate with members of congress went fur ther. The receipt of Madero's resig- nation and also that of Pino Suarez would not surprise members of con gress when that body meets on April 2 or soon thereafter, according to the report.
 In fact they are said to be expected in which case, according to the best information obtainab1e, General Ire vino would be the choice of congress for president ad interim, his probable term of service being two years or until peace had been restored through out the republic, when new elections would be held.

CORRUPT PRACTICES ATTACKED BY
 BR|STOW
Case of Senator Stephenson Text for Fierce Onslaught on
 Election Frauds,

NGTON,-Insisting that any act of corruption that, contributes to nomination in a senatorial primary is just as culpable as if it occurred in election by a legislature, Senator Bris- tow of Kansas, today urged the sen- ate to reject the majority report of the committee on privileges and cleo tions exonerating Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, of the charge of corrupt practices were employed in securing his election.
 T believe" said Senator Bristow,
 the evidence shows that corrupt methods and practices were used 1; that MT, Stephenson and his mana gers not only corruptly used money to secure his election but also flag rantly violated the laws of the state of Wisconsin against corrupt practic- es in election; and that by mere tech- nicalities they seek to avoid the re, sponsibility for their conduct. Any man who will openly violate the laws of his state, passed to protect the hon. esty of it's elections, is not worthy of a seat in this body, yet the primary question for the senate to decide is not, were the statutes of Wisconsin violated, but did corruption in the el- ection of MT. Stephenson actually oc- cur.'
 Senator Bristow quoted Senator Ste phenson's testimony admitting that he had expended $1O7,793 and made a detailed statement in regard to the or ganization of the Stephenson cam paign committee. Quoting from the testimony, he said that MT. Stephen sons managers paid money to differ ent candidates for the legislature, three of whom were elected, and that if the votes of those members had not been cast for Stephenson he would not have been elected.
 If such campaigns as that which resulted in the election of MT. Ste phenson are to meet the approval of this body" concluded the speaker, then it will lose the respect of the American people,
 If this government is to live, cor ruption in high places must be made as heinous as treason, for it is in the end more dangerous to the nations welfare. 9

ALLEGE CONSPIRACY ID CONTROL THE
 CANAL
 ...As Reported that the Great Steam ship Lines Have Grabbed Control of the Atlantic and Pacific Ports in
 South and Central a
 America
Secretary Nagel of the Commerce and Labor Department Gives out the
 Information

WASHINGTON-A gigantic conspi- use of the Panama canal is laid bare in letter from Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor to Chairman Adamson of the house com mittee on interstate and foreign com merce
 After three years of quiet and sys- tematic effort the parties to the trade conspiracy, which includes the Ham, burg-American packet lines, in which Emperor William is a stockholder and J. Pierpont Morgan holds big inter- est; the North German Lloyd Steam ship company, the Kosmos line Ger man); the Hamburg-South American line, the Pacific Steam Navigation company and the Toyo Risen Kaisha line (Japanese) have it is so stated succeeded in obtaining control of ev- cry port on both coasts of South and Central America and Mexico.
 Acting in conjunction with the great transcontinental railroad systems, these steamship companies, according to the information laid before the con- gressional committee, have entered into agreements by which foreign mer- chants shipping to the ports in their control will receive rebates of 10 per cent from the standard traffic rates. Through it's consular officers, this gov 'ernment has learned that foreign na- tions, especially Germany, which is seeking trade of South America, con templates granting bounty to it's ships equal to the tonnage levied by this country for use of the canal.
 It is the belief of the great corpora tions concerned in this conspiracy that, aided by the American railroads, they will be able to block all efforts of the American shippers and ship ping interests to profit by the canal and divert to themselves the entire benefit, accruing from the investment of American capital in that great en- terprise.

MADERO MAY BE FORGED ID.
 STEP DOWN AND OUT
Many Changes Being and Both Gomez Been Called to Help Clear the Situa
 Trevino May be Made Provisional President
SONORA TROOPS HAVE BEEN SENT AGAINST sALAzARS ARMY
Critical Daily Thousands of
 Troops Will be Sent the Border

MEXICO CITY, March 6-Cabinet changes are to be made soon, if re- port from an apparently well authen- ticated source proves true.
 The substitutions will affect six of the eight portfolios and are calculated to amalgamate the Vasquistas, Liber- als, the army element and the Nader istas.
 Perhaps the most startling feature of the alleged plan is the proposed re- turning of Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, the brains of the revolution,' '' to the post of public instruction which he formerly held.
 De La Barra Coming
 Francisco de la Barra is slated for the ministry of foreign relations which he occupied during the last of Diaz' administration; General Geronimo Trevino for the war office; Fernando Idlesias Calderon, candidate for vice president of the Liberal party ticket against Pino Suarez, for the depart ment of interior. and Alfredo Robles Dominguez, Madero's treasurer during the revolution, for the department of communications.
 Jesus Flores Magon, recently ap- pointed to the ministry of the interior will be transferred to the department of justice. The other ministers, Err nesto Madero, finance and Hernandez, Fomento, to continue in their respec- tive departments.
 Manuel Bonilla, now minister of communications, it is said, will be giv en the governorship of Sinaloa, whence he came at the close of the revolution.
 The announced intention of de la Barra to return to Mexico long before he was expected to do so is pointed to as tending to corroborate the re- port. At the same time there are not wanting those who speculate on pos ,sible higher post for the ex-president.
