.LOvE|TT HOME
 BADLY BURNED
Fire of Unknown Origin Occurred Yesterday Aft ernoon Doing Consider able Damage; Department Did Good Work

Fire of unknown origin started about 30 o'clock yesterday afternoon III the home of MT. and Mrs Frank LoVeitt, at 1121-23 East Van Buren street, and before it was extinguished a deal of damage had been done, though an estimate of the loss was not secured It was an eight room frame building of one story. The roof was badly, almost completely, burned, and much damage was done inside by fire and water. though some of the furnishings were removed.
 There was no one at home when the fire started, but those early on the scene say it apparently began in the kitchen. One man who rented a room in the house had packed his grips for trip to California last night. He was not at home. but made a run for it and got there just in time to get out his grips
 The department was summoned by an alarm from box Y and responded as quickly as possible. though it was a long run, and soon had two streams playing on the burning building They did well to save as much as they did, considering the distance and the in flammable character of the building.
 MT. LOviett has for several years been interested in the publication of the Southwestern Stockman in this city, and will have the special sym pathy of newspaper men. It is a mean fire that will assail the prop erty of anybody who has to work as hard as newspaper people.

INCREASE OF
 NEW INSURANCE
Arizona Branch of New York Life Pays Immense Indemnities This Year, Surpassing All Previous Records

Although the lives of all the naonIo of Arizona are not likely to he snuffod out suddenly the following report of J. Johnson, the agency director ol the Arizona branch of the New fork Life insurance company would lead one to believe that every Ari- zonlan thought he was sitting direct " under the sword of Damocles and had provided himself with an inn mense life insurance policy.
 The Arizona branch of the New York Life Insurance company is writ Ing very large business this year ard the total amount of written and Pald for policies is unusually good. Although the business last year was exceptionally large it will be greatly surpassed this year.
 On July goth this branch had ,vrit- ten $1.S27,0O0 on new business and had paid for s1,354,OO0 Last year the Arlzona branch exceeded all previous records by paying for 1,65O,O 900 of new business. But during the first falf of this year it has already paid Tor $1,354,O0O winch wll put the branch in the s2,OOO,0OO class of branch offices. The home office of the new York Life added the south ern half of New Mexico to the Ari- zona branch office on February 1. 1912. which so increased the amount of work in this branch that the cashier was compelled to hire an- other stenographer and another clerk. MT. Johnson says that very little new business was written this year In New Mexico. for the reason that he has not yet organized the field for effective work. Not more than S2O0.000 came from New Mexico this year which shows that the people of Arizona are buying life insurance and that the New York Life is getting it's share of the business.

 Things to All States.
TAsSoCIATED PRESS DISPATCH ]


 OYSTER BAY. July 25.-Six staunch republican states have adopted a plan. Roosevelt said tonight. for the bodily capture of the republican organiZa tions by the national progressive party. The states named are: Kansas. Minne sota South Dakota. Idaho. California and Washington. In each of these states, according to the Roosevelt lead CTS. who lave talked with the expres- ident or lis aides. the republican or ganizatiOn is in control of the support CTS of the new party to an extent sui ficient to enable them to transfer the organization virtually intact to Roose- velt's support
 In eacr case it is intended to retain the name republican and place candi- dates for congress and state offices on the regular republican ticket. In the states in which the law requires that the names of Taft and sherman shall be placed on the ballot as the repubii can nominees. the Roosevelt candidates for electors will go in d separate col umn.
 Where the law does not exact this the Roosev cit candidates probably will be placed under the regular republican emblem O.; the theory that the colonel is the legitimate nominee of the party. This claim goes back to the meeting held at Chicago the night the republl- can national convention adjourned The Roosevelt delegates together with the Roosevelt candidates for seats in the convention who were excluded as sembled in another hall and offered the presidential nomination to Roose- welt.
