Boston, March 1S.-The pet policies
Of the "peoples power" movement
were roasted to brown turn by
President Taft today in addresses be-
fore both houses of the Massachusetts
legislature. He bitterly. denounced
what he termed the "soaa box" presi-
dental primary as an "0pen avenue
for fraud and violence" "tdnless prop
erly safeguarded, Discussing the re-
call Of judges, to which he is unalter-
ably opposed, President Taft made a
direct slap at Colonel Theodore Roose
welt, asserting the recall of judicial
decisions would never do, adding that
it was impossible for all the people
to directly participate in the functions
Of government.
President Taft declared that the
constitution was the foundation Of
government.
A Representative Government.
"of the people, for the people, by a
representative part of the people In
this connection the president deplored
the agitation now existing against
"the courts and the constitution" and
declared it was significant that as an
Irresponsible assault upon either in
Incorporate language or the baseless
assumption of corruption bias and fin
competency were made by those whose
Influence with any part of the peo-
pie "is serious menace to an en-
during government" The president
said in part.

pect some outside cause for the explo-
sion.
Late reports today are to the eff
feet that the estimates of 20 to 80
killed were none too high. but owing
to the fact that the bodies were
blown into fragments and to such
great distances, It is impossible to
form anything like correct esti-
mate.
-Four buildings were totally or par
TALLY wrecked, and the men upon
these blown to bits. One corpse was
found three blocks away. The COM
pany's copper shop was demolished,
the north end Of the blacksmith shop
collapsed and the roundhouse roof
was lifted off, The locomotive stood
almost In the center of square
formed by the four buildings.
Engineer Walter Jordan was olllng

found nearby,
Rallroaders declare that no hiss Of
the pop valve, denoting an over
charged boiler, preceded the explo-

tive Portions of the machinery we're

ings, The feed pipe, through which

to the horror.
Workers inside the machine and
blacksmith shops probably never
knew what happened.

Phoenix, Ariz., March 1S.-Ari-
zonas first state legislature convened
at noon today Both houses are
overwhelmingly Democratic. Only
four Of the 35 members of the lower
house represent Republican constitu-
encles, while practically the same ra-
ito prevails in the senate.
Governor Hunts message was dis
tinctly progressive in tone. He
sounded the slogan for a progressive
Democrat legislature when he de-
clared that the first official act Of that
body should be to inaugurate the
movement that would result in the
incorporation into the basic law OF
the state the identical judiciary re-
call plank rejected by President Taft
in the constitution Of the new state.
Woman suffrage, better labor laws,
employers liability laws, rigid mine
inspectio industrial arbitration.

were among the demands OF the
states first governor
Regarding equal suffrage, Hunt de-
manded immediate action, with tho
promise that ~ adopted the states

Prison reform also occupied an I'M
portant part in the governors
speech. Declaring that the infamy
Of Kicking a man when he is down,
must be abolished in Arizona, Hunt
demanded humane treatment for
every states prisoner, and outlined
his rights.
After endorsing practically every
progressive doctrine, Hunt sprung
distinct surprise by advocating that

PEELED to publish complete list Of
