ARIZONA DEMANDS THREE FEDERAL
 DISTRICTS
Great Inconvenience to People If Federal Court Needs Session
 At the Capital

Vigorous protests are being made in Southern Arizona over the concen- tration of federal jurisprudence solely to Phoenix, under the admission of Arizona to statehood. Press reports from Tombstone, Tucson and other southern cities to be affected. in the new order, teem with hostility to the new judicial situation that has arisen, which promises to cause considerable more inconvenience than was at first anticipated.
 Besides, taking all witnesses and jurors to Phoenix, from all parts of Arizona, it means also that all appli- cants to become citizens of the Uni ted States will have to appear before the federal judge in the capital city to officially apply for citizenship as well as to take their examinations. If a division of the state could be effected into three districts, one in the north with headquarters at Prescott, and an other in the south at Tucson, the third at Phoenix, conditions would be rem edied materially, otherwise a hard ship will be experienced that very few will care to forego in a long and expensive trip.

For the Recovery of $3,OOO, 900 Advanced For the San Diego

 The railway, which is designed to connect Yuma, Ariz., and San Diego Cal. was begun in 1906 and is but given out by the Southern Pacific company is in part as follows:
 1-The suit is f. money advanced to the San Diego & Arizona railway company and to John B. and A. B. Spreckles for tho construction of the road 20 miles out of San Diego and the acquisition of terminal properties in San Diego. The agreement to build the road was made late in 1906. Lat CT the Spreckles, in order to rush construction, took over the property under agreement which the Southern Pacific claims was a contract to pur- chase and which the Spreckles claim was only an option to purchase. The statement says that when, on Oct. il, 1911, the company called for payment of advances then due' the Spreckles brothers gave notice that they would surrender the property and rendered back to the Southern Pacific company the certificates of stock which they held. This tender was refused. The time since then has been used up in controversy.

GOV. HUNT AND AD- v|SERS PREPARE
 PROGRAM
A. A. Worsley of Tucson is Select ed as Administration SpOkes- man on the Floor of the
 Senate

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. Ex-Governor Hunt and his advisors have prepared tentative legislative program which will be- carried out by the administra- tion and recommended in the gover- nor's message.
 A. A. Worsley of Tucson has been selected as the spokesman for the ad- ministration on the floor of the sen ate. An effort will be made to choose him floor leader in that body. While .Worsley is considered radical, the measures which he advocates are pop ular and Hunt proposes that his ad- ministration shall be what he terms progressive from start to finish.
 The program outlined by Governor Hunt includes the submission of two proposed amendments to the constitu- tion as follows: The recall of judges and equal suffrage. Worsley wants to submit a third, giving the state right to engage in industrial pursuits but he will probably be overruled. There will be no submission of prohibition if the administration can prevent it.
 BeS1QeS prOV1u1nS TOT the eHdcCueuI of laws made mandatory by the consti- tuition, Governor Hunt will probably recommend the following measures: A preliminary law which will not re- quire candidate to file a petition, new election laws, an amendment of the livestock law to enable ranchers to butcher for their own use, law giv- ing exemptions to everybody, free school books manufactured by the state, compensations for attorneys ap- pointed to defend criminals, a law which will enable cities to form com mission government, a law preventing persons from disinherting children, an insurance law, an income tax, law prohibiting the state from dis posing of lands granted by the enab- ling act, a law creating boiler in- spection; a commission to revise the statutes, a Worlds Fair Commission for 1915, an act providing for an cleo tion in 1912, a three cent fare bill, workingman's compensation act.

 So far in Greenlee county no certi- ficates of election have been received nix but they. are expected to reach here before Monday. The transforma- tion from a territorial form of govern ment to that of state will be auto matic and will occur upon the instant President Taft issues his proclama- tion and telegraphlc information to that effect can reach the Governor of Arizona.

around the irate Justice of the Peace Continuing the Justice said;
 If MT. Sanders resigns now from his position with the companies, while he is under fire, there will be no more cases. I know. Everything will be sign. He can do no more good. don't want to give MT. Sanders any misery but if he don't resign he will surely get it."
 At this point MT James Harvey. brother-in-law of Sanders. asked the Judge: Do you mean, Judge, that if MT. Snders resigns between now and Saturday, everything will be alright [ and there will be no cases?" l "Yes, that's what I mean," said the Judge.
 ! Turning to Mr. A. T. Thomson His Honor said: q have always called myself a company man"
 What do you mean by that asked MT. Thomson.
 Evidently the Judge did not know exactly what he meant himself by that statement but finally said: When I say that, I mean that if the mining companies were not here doing business, I would not be here"
 During another off-handed opinion sition he holds with the mining com panies, as their county auditor,'' and everything would then be alright, !" General Manager Carmichael inter- posed the statement that MT Sanders resignation was not an issue in the case and that it should not be discuss ed at this time. John R. Hampton was of the opinion that the defendant had been cited for contempt and this , was the time set for hearing on that charge alone.
 The Judge then adjourned the street session of his court with the state ment that he would give the defendant until Saturday to think it over and re- | iterated his feelings to the extent | that he did want to give MT. San ders any misery"
 The street session was an attempt to force MT Sanders to resign his po- sftion with the mining companies as their county auditor with a jail sen tence- for alleged contempt of court as the penalty in' the event of his fail ure to resign Just what connection the resignation of MT. Sanders has I with the charges for contempt of court was not made clear.
 When asked to see the papers in | the case Judge Moder handed the Era man commitment, already drawn up in proper legal form, reciting the | fact that the defendant was guilty of contempt, etc., and sentencing him to
 ...,. days in jail and to pay S.. as fine.
 | To the Era MT. Sanders stated that he would not resign his position. If felt that I had committed any legal or moral wrong, while serving in my present capacity of county auditor for the big taxpayers, I would step down and out. I feel that I have done no wrong and this is another effort to force me to quit under fire and I shall see the matter through to the end an let the courts decide. The conversa- tion with Judge Moder was a friend ly talk and he has seen fit to put a wrong construction on my alleged re- marks

.L|NCOLN'S BIRTHDAY ID WITNESS STATE
 ADMISSION
That is the Opinion of Governor Sloan Who is Making Arrange ments to Issue His PrOclama-
 ton on That Day
Special Messenger From Arizona Ar
 rived at National Capital On We'd nesday of This Week

PHOENIX,-If plans made by Gov. ernor Sloan are carried out. Arizona will be admitted to the Union and it's first set of state officials assume the oath on Lincoln's birthday, Feb, ruary 12.
 ''As soon as the day is made cer, tain,' said Governor Sloan, this after noon, q shall issue a proclamation calling upon the people to lay aside all business on that day in order that it may generally be observed as a holiday.
 Lincoln had much to do with the organization of the territory of Ari- zona which happened during his term. It was in way war meausre, and he was an active supporter of the bill creating the territory
 Tt is more than fitting that Ari- zona become a state on Lincoln s birthday, and I believe that President Taft will be pleased to take this into consideration, when he issues the pro- clamation. ..
 If February 12 is to be the day, l shall ask that we be notified by wire early in the day in order that the state officers may take the oath dur ing the afternoon
 If this can be understood in ad- vance the different organizations, which are interested in the matter, will have time to make arrangements for celebration in honor of the day ''
