LEGISLATURE
 CONFINES

Phoenix March, 1S- In con- vening the senate, Judge F. Hachtman, of Globe, acted as temporary chairman; C. E. Howe. of Cochise temorary se- cretary and Joseph L. Wiley, of Tucson, sergeant. at arms. Hom. CT Wood, of Prescott, in a lau- datory speech proposed the name of M. G. Cunniff, his life colleague ot Prescott, for president. The minority members placed Fred 5. Bren in nomination and each nominee received the vote of his strength.
 Upon assuming the chair. Cun- niff made briefspeech. in which he recalled the fact that one hundred and thirty five years ago yesterday the American pa- triots drove the British from Boston and found in such thought an inspiration for all members of the legislature to do patriotic service for Arizona by placing in positive control of Arizona, by legislation, the people of the state. Economy and efficiency he would have the watchword, and as presiding officer he would be fair and i'm partial. It was with solemnity earnestuess he approached the task outlined fo1 him, he de- clared.
 In the house, A A. Moore, an Arizona pioneernf Yavapai coun- ty called the members to order and following the vote declared A, R. Lynch oi Graham, to be temporary chairman. The speak ership contest had been settled by caucus late Sunday afternoon by selection of Sam Bradner of Benson, and as temporary chair man. Lynch had the opportuni- ty to express his desire ftr the successful cooperation of all members of the house during the session and to publicly pledge his support to program for progressive legislation. He had fought hard to be speaker, and while he lost, he found pleasure in knowing he was the choice of many members ifnot a majority. Ben F. Thum, was chosen tenn porary chief clerk and Walter Bradner of Phoenix, sergeant-at- arms.
 Graham and Cocllise placed Bradner Tn nomination while the minority members nominated Kirk T. Moore and following a party vote Bradner was declareb elected. On assuming the char he declared his steadfast and earnest support of the progress sive program and urged that all administration suggestions be carried out.
 Prior to adjournment a com mittee on rules anll attaches was appointed and tonight in both house and senate the democrats are in caucus considering plans for what committees will be ere ated. by whom constituted and rules for their procedure Prob, ably Wednesday both houses will be ready for the introdqctiop of legislation.
 Temporary officers in each house chosen today wilt be made permanent with the exception of Judge McCullom, of Globe, who will be permanent secretary in the senate in place of Howe. Numerous applicants are now seeking positions. but clerks fos committees will have to be eom- petent stenographers and ofthese there will be but few.

Lake Mills. Wis: Arnold L. Scheurer OF
$50 Central Park West. New York City.
and James j. Ryan Of KataIla, Alaska.
that their filing OF soldiers scrip on
shore lands on Controller bay, Alaska,
have been rejected because of non-com-
pliance with the laws. The land was
filed upon February 10. 1911.

permitted, through the instrumentaIity Of
President Taft and then Secretary of
Interior Ballinger, to obtain control of
the whole water front In Controller bay,

peeted to be the last chapter Of the story.

Warship Will Go
to Mexican Coast -
to Aid Americans

WASHINGTON. April 0.-President
Taft probably will send warship soon
TO the west coast Of Mexico to enable
Americans isolated in sinsloa and other
states to leave the disturbed districts. An
announcement by the State department
tonight declared this action likely in view
Of the general anxiety for Americans in
those localities.
State department officials pointed out
that with the suspension OF railroad COM
munication and the interruption Of
telegraph service. many American citizens
on the west coast of Mexico. especially at
Los Mochis, in Sinaloa, as we'll as in the
vicinity OF Mazatlan. are isolated. This
fact, together with many reports OF In
creased lawlessness on the west coast
is causing much anxiety to Americans in
the region affected and their friends in
the United States. Many requests and
expressions Of anxiety have reached the
State department
State department officials declared this
action necessary because otherwise there
is no way to learn of the safety of those
Americans who are at present not only
entirely cut off from communication with
the outside world. but deprived by the
cessation OF railroad service Of any means
OF leaving"
The sending Of vessel TO the coast of
Mexico sets a precedent In the present
revolutionary disturbances. as heretofore
the United States navy has refrained from
cruising in Mexican waters. A British
vessel last year. however, landed marines
on the western coast of Mexico to enable
foreigners TO escape the effects Of
threatened attack by rebels.
Ell PAso. Tex. April 9O.-According to
advices a week old, but just received
here, the entire state of sinaloa. like that

Thirty Americans who had concentrated
at the Rhoades ranch at Navolata and
who had planned to escape TO an island
in the event OF fighting. probably did so.
and by this time. it is thought have been
rescued by a boat. which IT was planned
to send them from Guaymas. On April

FRIEND; ENDS OWN LIFE

STURGIS. 6. D.. April 2l.-Because OF
n fancied grievance. Richard Stahl, aged
25. farmer living near Piedmont. late
this afternoon shot and killed Mayor
Elmer Ladd OF sturgis. He surrendered
and a little while later cut his throat
from ear to ear in his cell and died in
a few minutes.
Ladd. who was about the same age as
his assallant. was talking with an attor-
ney in the latter's office when the in
furiated farmer entered and fired four
shots from a big caliber gun. Ladd was
struck by the second shot in the head.
No one witnessed the shooting as the
others ran before the firing commenced.
Ladd was the cashier OF the defunct
Meade County bank at sturgis and was
born and raised here. and held in high
esteem.
The bank trouble is not believed to have
any connection with the shooting. Stahl

CHICAGO. April G.-Five persons were
robbed of money or valuables or ooth
bv three masked holdup men who went
through the sleeper Nottingham Of the
Rock Island westbound Golden State
limited a few minutes after midnight at
Sheffield. ILL.,, forty miles east of Moline.
After the robbers had finished their work
they shot holes in the air signal tube
connected with the engine and thus
brought the train to a standstiH and
made their escape.
Under cover of three revolvers the
porter was forced TO point out to the out
laws the berths that were occupied.
As soon as the robbers entered the
Pullman they forced the porter to lock
the doors. Only the occupants Of one
Pullman were disturbed.
Those robbed were:
W. l.. Leblanc. 1i9 Broadway, New
York. si5 and railroad ticket.
Mary Heron, 1905 Madison avenue, Chi

Main street, Fort Wayne. Ind, s90 and
two watches valued at $50.
]. b. Gomand, Phoenix, Ariz, So.
Presence on the train OF the three rob
bers has not been accounted for. 1t is
thought perhaps the men boarded the
limited at the crossing Of the Chicago,
burlington & Quincy railroad, near which
a Burlington train was held up some
time ago.
After the desperadoes had taken their
loot they commanded the porter to pull
the air tube as signal for the engineer
TO stop the train. When the porter de-
INJURED, the men promptly punctured the
tube with bullets from their pistols. The
firing Of the revolvers was the only
noise connected with the hold up.
