Condition.

Phoenix Jan. IA. The need of
the strongest federal laws for
safeguarding the rights of stock
men and extending their privi-
leges was urged today by H. A.
Jastro, president Of the American
National Live Stock association
at the opening session of the an
nual convention Of the associa-
ton.
Jastro attributed the fact that
the United States has less live
stock per capita than ever before
to the unsatisfactory range con-
ditions, arising out of indis-
criminate grazing. and the
scramble to secure what is left of
the already depleted ranges"
Federal regulations, he assert
ed, offers the only solution of the
difficulty.

a determined fight against the
granting of right of way for a
railroad.
Had the box canyon road been
built, the main line trains would
have left the Southern Pacific at
Bowie and reached Phoenix thru
San Carlos, Winkleman and
Florence.
The difficulties in the way of
building road thru the canyon,
even were right of way secured,
would be tremendous. The line
by way of Silver City and Globe
will be longer in the end and will
open up great mineral and agri-
cultural areas now badly in need

Democratic Senators Stand
by Wilson

Washington, Jan. IA. -Presi-
dent elect Wilson's declaration at
Trenton yesterday that he would
pick only progressiyes for the
work Of his new administration
brought from the democratic
leaders Of the senate today the
statement that the new president
will have the united support of
the majority in the senate. Efforts
to unite the democrats with the
control given by the progressive
: es are so far successful thatlead-
ers predict that there will be no
open break in the organization of
the new senate. The organization
element will, it is understood,
yield the chairmanship Of com
mittees to the older senators en-
titled to them by rank will insist
on full voice in the control of
each committee and in the selec-
tion of it's members.
Senators Martin and Hoke
Smith are the organized leaders
of the democratic forces in the
senate. Today they predicted a
harmonious settlement of all the
differences of the body. II don't
understand how a democrat can
be surprised at the declaration Of
Governor Wilson that he is in
accord with the progressive poll
cies Of today" said Martin. Il
am sure he will find the demo
cratic party solidly with him in
the views which he expresses.

Grandma MdttiSOn Dead
Oldest Resident of Duncan
Dies at Home of E. w
Taylor

This morning at 4:20 occurred
the sad death of Mrs. Mary, Mel
son Mattison after an illness Of
about a week. Her condition was
not considered serious ii last
Saturday night, when she was
taken to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. w. Taylor where she was
given ever attention that was
possible to be given, and Mrs.
Taylor was more like a daughter
to the old lady than she was like
friend during her illness.
The end has come as a great
skock to her many friends and
acquaintance here.
Mrs. Mattison was some 70
years old or more and has spent
over thirty years Of her time in
Duncan.
She was born in the Highlands
of Scotland and came to America
when a mere girl with her father
and mother and other members
Of the family, and they settled in
Ontario, Canada, where she was
later married to Nelson Mattison
and they later moved to Duncan
where she has since resided,
coming to Duncan before there
was any railroad built and in the
Indian times, and was at one time
the only white woman, in this
part Of the country, and has
seen many a fight between the
Indians and cowboys.
Mrs. Mattison, was always
very attentive to the sick and
many times Waded the river to
go and help with some one that
was sick, and her house was al
ways open to those in trouble
and she could never do enough for
any one. Her husband died in
Solomonville about eighteen years
ago and was brought back to
Duncan for burial, since then
she has lived alone.
Mrs. Mattison leaves a sister
Mrs. Jessie Mcdonald in Riply,
Ontario, Canada, and a nephew,
Mr.John w. Mcdonald, in Granum
Alberta, Canada, the only rela-
tiyes that are left to survive her.
The body will be layed to rest
in the old Duncan cemetery, by
the side Of her husband.
The funeral services will be
held at the Presbyterian Church
tomorrow at 11:30.

State Treasury Deficit

N"SON u NSSC0 sOOA4NIU
Arizona's state treasury will
show deficit of $3.50 in 1918
as against $500, 900 in 1912.
Since last June Treasurer David
+. johnson has been registering
state warrants because there was
no money with which to pay
them. Altogether, he registered
$500, 600 worth of warrants.
The last Of these warrants was
called January 6, and they ceased
to bear interest on that date.
tuesday, Treasurer johnson paid
the National Bank of Arizona
$50, 900 to cancel warrants held
by that institution. Thursday,
Sl23, 600 was turned over to the
Phoenix National Bank, and to-
day a payment Of 100000 was
made to the Valley Bank.
Warrants totaling about $1O,-
900 were held by the Prescott
banks, and the Yuma National
held 81, 600 worth. Other banks
held warrants in lesser amounts.
The interest, at 5 per cent an
nually, amounts to about So, 600.
These warrants have been paid
with tax money for 1912, for
Warded to the state treasurer by
the county treasurers. When the
states share of the tax money
for 1912 is all received, it will to-
tai about 81, $50, 900.
This will be sufficient to meet
all expenses till late in the year.
Treasurer Johnson expects to
register some $75, 900 worth of
warrants in 1913, This will be a
reduction Of $225, 600
The sum of 81, 1,250,00O, how
ever by no means represents all
the money that the state will re-
ceive. Money is being constantly
collected by the Corporation Com
mission, which is considerably
more than self-supporting. In
terest on the state funds more
than pays the expenses of the
treasurer's office. Some revenue.
is derived from the auditors Of
flee and from the secretary's Of
fee. Filing fees are collected by
the Supreme Court. The Live
Stock Sanitary Board spends be-
tween $4, 600 and $4,000 month
and comes within $500 a month
Of paying expenses. Secretary
Sam Bradner has asked for an
appropriation of only $4,000 for
the current year.
When the state administration
took the reigns Of government,
here was practically no money
n the treasury. And statehood
had entailed much heavier gov
9rnmental expenses than arizona
lad ever incurred before. The
governor, secretary and supreme
court had been paid by the ma
;ional government. Moreover, a
session of the legislature was
coming on. A tax commission,
and commission, inspector of
Weights and measures and mine
were created.
For 1912, however, the state
government made the same levy
hat the territorial government
made in the year before-90
ents on each $100 valuation.
axes were raised in a way, but
was thru increased valuations.
he increases were mainly on
ne property of the wealthy cor
such as the mining
ompanies.
One of the heavy expenses to
e met this year is the cost of
a special session of the
legislature. Another is the free
chool-book law, which is to be :
ut into effect. Il

Takes Conviction and
Stripping of Honors
With Stoicism Saying
No Wrong Done
SAYS INNOCENT
Ashurst Distinguishes Self
On One Charge bv Saying
Guilty When Others
Voted No

Washington, Jan. 13. Robert
W. Archibald, of Scranton, Pa. for
70 years a jurist, was adjudged
guilty by the United States senate
OF high crimes and misdemean-
ors, stripped of his office, and
forever disqualified from holding
positions of public honor or trust.
Upon five of the thirteen
charges brought agrinst him by
the house, Archibald was found
guilty, and on the other. eight
not guilty. The majority in some
OF the cases was against him, but
failed to reach the two-thirds
necessary for conviction. Any one
of the five verdicts of guilty
were enough to bring about the
punishment imposed.
The vote on the first charge. of
influencing corrupty the officials
OF the Erie road, to sell him the
katydid Culm dump, resulted in
his convition by a vote of SO to 5.
Those voting not guilty were
Burnham, Catron, Oliver, Paynter
and Penrose.
In a little committee room off
the gallery floor, behind a guard
ed door, Archibald, his wife and
son, Hugh, sat throughout the
afternoon. The first vote was
carried to him by his son. After
the sentence had been imposed

lift, guilty by sixty-six to six. On

cepted Wrongfully a purse of five

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
GIVES UP GILACAN-
YON LINE
Is to Build RoadFrOm Queen
Creek to Silver City
via Duncan
Mining And Farm Sections
Reached
New Development in Plan
to Put Phoenix and
Duncan on Main

That the Southern Pacific has
abandoned all ideas of building a
railroad through the Gila box can
yon, between Winkleman and San
Carols, and will complete it's new
transcontinental line with a road
from Queen Creek station to
Silver City, N. M, is a well
founded rumor now ahoat in
Phoenix.
Several circumstances tend to
show that the rumor has a basis
fact. For one thing, a surveying
party is now working between
Queen Creek and Superior. This
party has been in the field for
some time and it has been gener-
ally understood that lines were
being run for branch that would
reach only to Superior.
But that according to the latest
information, is not the intention.
Superior is not to be the terminus
of the line, bntgmerely one station.
The road is to be built on east of
Globe, up thru the ella valley and
thence to Silver City. There it
will connect with the branch
which leaves the S. P. main line
at Deming.
No unusual difficulties are in
the way of building road from
Queen Creek to Superior, which
is only twenty miles distant. It is
understood that Southern Pacific
surveyors have found that a line
can be built on easy grades all
the way to Silver City. Certainly
railroads have been built thru
much more difficult country.
Thatcher, Solomonville and
Duncan will be on the new road.
Morenci and Clifton will be only
a few miles north.
For years the Southern Pacific
and ArizonaEastean people have
had under consideration the
building of a branch from
Florence to Superior. Such a
branch would afford transporta-
ton facilities to one Of the rich
est mining sections in the w rid.
The old Silver King, Magma,
Ajax, La Coronado and Reymert
are only a few of the properties
IN that section. The Calumet &
Arizona company is developing a
group at Superior. The Magma
produces the richest copper ore
in the world, which is now freight
ed to Florence at great expense.
An extension of the road on
thru the Gila Valley would open

Queen Creek is between Mesa
and Florence. When the propos-
ed line is completed between

Will run over that route, pass

on to Yuma over a line
over a year ago be-
,ween the Hassayampa and the

Various circumstances, it is
tated, have caused the Southern
'aclfic to give up the idea of
road thru the Gila box

erminus of the P. & E. branch
With the Globe branch at San
jarlos. The land owners in the

Another state has been added TO the

Wednesday, by a vote OF So to SO,
adopted limited woman's suffrage
bill. This is the first. state east OF
the Mississippi TO give large mea-
sure OF electoral privilege to women,
though several have granted IT In
small though not unimportant ways.
Illinois. however, has placed herself
Enthusiastically on the list by granting
the franchise in most OF its highly
important functions. The gate is

The ballot is granted for all statu-
tory Offices. for presidential electors.
for all propositions submitted TO the
people. for mayors and aldermen. The
vote for governor and other onices
created by the state constitution is
necessarily withheld, as change
would require constitutional amend
ment. That probably will come in
time. The woman propaganda Is jubi-
liant, as there has been a hard battle
in Illinois for the last five years. and
its leaders did not expect that victory
would come this year. II Is more than
doubtful whether majority of the IL
inois electorate. had 1t been submitted
to them. would have granted the SUI
frage. II is, in spite of this. a very
big triumph, for Illinois is the most
important and influential common
wealth which has succumbed.
The strength Of woman suffrage In
the United States, which has progress
