ENGLAND WANTS ARBITRA.
TION.


The latest message from England
is that that country will insist on
taking the controversy concerning
toll act measure to the Hague tribu-
nal for arbitration.
Of course, England may endeav-
or to take the matter before a cour,
of arbitration but whether or not
the United States will agree to that
is another question. This country
no doubt will suggest that the mat
ter be handled in the same manner
that practically all controversies are
conducted through the proper Off
GERS of the country.
1t Is not to be presumed that our
country will consent without using
all means necessary to settle the
matter through the. officers of the
countries directly interested. The
Hague tribunal will be made up of
persons naturally interested with
England an dof course the United
States could not expect to find an
unprejudiced court there.
The question rises whether or not
this country can do as it pleases
with its own property. Our coun-
tr does not ask our vessels carry
ing on interstate commerce to pay
taxes. Any how that is a matter
of our concern. This country does
not undertake to dictate to Eng
land about her affairs and we do
not care to have Englnd meddle in
our business. The law would require
the ships of other nations to pay
toll when going through the Pan
anna canal.

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 6.-Jesse
Pomeroy, probably the most notorious
of life prisoners in the United States,
today rounded out his Sc years of SOL
itary confinement in the state prison
at Charlestown. At the age of six
teen he was sent to prison for tor
turing and numbering little children.
While SOLITARY Imprisonment" is the
name given to the punishment Pom
eroy is undergoing, it does not mean
that he never leaves his cell. Each
day, while the other prisoners are at
work, he is permitted to walk in a
small yard where no eye except that
of the guard can see him. During his
many years behind the bars Pomeroy
has educated himself from the books
in the prisons large library.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Sept. 6.
With the opening of next week
three state conventions will be held
in New Mexico to nominate candi-
dates for congress on the Republi-
can, Democratic and the Bull Moose
tickets, and three presidential elect
ors to represent each party. There
is talk of split in the Democratic
ranks, which may cause resious de-
fections if the boilers go in with the
progressives and will make impossi-
BILE Democratic victory. The Re-
publicans might be assured of victory
hands down, since the progressives
and boiling Democrats would hardly
present a formidable front.
1t is now acknowledged that II. b.

ing New Mexico in congress, and a
Democrat, will have no opposition

President Taft will not appear again
for public address during the pres

Mr.. Taft left for New York this
morning at 10 o'clock with his lame
ankle still troubling him greatly. His
touch of gout is also assuming bad
proportions. He is in New York late
today to go aboard the yacht May
flower with doctors accompanying

DENVER, Sept. 6.-The grand
jury after having made a
thorough investigation into the vice
conditions of Market street and the
'red light" district turned its at
tention to the uptown rooming
houses which is habitated by immoral
women and where rooms are rented
for immoral purposes.
Fifteen or 20 women from Cham
pa, Curtis, Arapahoe and Lawrence
street rooming houses were witness
es yesterday afternoon and today.
Sheriff Sullivan, through the po-
lice department, obtained a list of
names of women believed to be lead
ing immoral life and living in the
rooming houses. These women pose
as women of respectability, but are
in the habit of picking up acquain-
tance with strange men in the cafes.
Utmost secrecy is observed in
serving subpoenaes. None of the
witnesses thus called had any ink
ling that they might be summoned
before the grand jury. They were
asked by Special Prosecutor Chiles
where they lived and particularly
as to their source of income. Most
of them pretended to be working
girls, out of work, or claimed to be
manicurists or nurses. Two or three
frankly admitted that they belong
ed to the underworld and said that
il they were forbidden to continue
to live as they have been they would
starve to death.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. c.
Arkansas voters will go to the polls
next Monday to select a complete
set of state and county officers and
vote for or against the adoption Of
number of proposed amendments
to the state constitution. AS a VIC
ory for the Democratic ticket headed
by Congressman Joe L. Robinson as
the candidate for governor is a fore
gone conclusion. all interest in the
election is confined practically to the
vote on the proposed amendments,
several of which are of a highly i'm
portant character.
The election will afford the first
practical test of the initiative and Yef-
erendum in Arkansas, which places
responsibilities on the voters hereto
fore delegated exclusively to the leg
islature. Chief among the measures
to be submitted is the act providing
for statewide prohibition and the act
providing an almost new revenue law
for the state, commonly known as the
Turner-Jacobson bill.
The proposed act providing for
state prohibition prohibits the manu-
facture sale or giving away in the
state of Arkansas alcohol, or any
spirituous, ardent, malt, vinous or
fermented liquors, or any compound
of preparations thereof commonly.
called bitters or medicinal liquors.
The penalty for the first offense is
fine of not less than $50 nor more
than $500 and for the second or any
subsequent offense the fine is not
less than 500 nor more than $1,000
and imprisonment in Jail not less
than three months nor more than
| twelve months. Each sale or gilt
shall be constituted as a separate
offense.
The third Of the proposed amend
ments, and the one in which probably
more interest is being manifested
| than in any Of the others, is that
| pTOVlQlHR JOT tHe TcCdli- All bIdte
and county officers, including the
judges, are affected by the propo-
sed amendment. The amendment is
probably the most drastic Of its kind
that has been proposed in any Of the
states and it is the general belief
that it will be rejected at the polls.
The opposition to the measure is
based largely upon the provision that
only twelve per cent of the voters
is necessary to initiate the recall of
any official. Another feature that
is regarded as Objectionable is the
provision Of the election Of the sue
cessor of the official proposed for re-
call at the same time the question
II his recall is voted on, and the bar
ring Of the official from being the
candidate.
