ELDER MADEROGETS
 AWAY

! MEXICO CITY, Feb. i8.-Word came from the rebel positions early in the evening that Diaz was prepar- General Huerta.
 The vice president of the republic, Jose Pino Suarez, IS still at liberty but in hiding.
 The American ambassador and oth- CT diplomats held conference in the American embassy tonight to discuss the re-establishment of order and the further protection of foreign residents. The great plaza in front of the pal ace was damned tonight with delir- ous crowd, bearing banners inscribed Peace and Liberty" shouting for Diaz, Huerta, Banquet and Mondra- gon.
 The women mmebers of the Ma dero family, who were in Chapultepec Castle, were whisked away in an auto by friends who had learned of the coup at the National Palace.
 Telegrams were sent to the gover- nor's of the States notifying them of the Proclamation of Huerta as president"
 Elder Madero Gets Away.
 MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1S.-Francisco I. Madero was placed under arrest at the national palace by General Blan- quet, backed by his men.
 General Victoriano Huerta has been 1oi Movicop
 Gustavo Madero was arrested at the same time as his brother in a res taurant. The arrests followed a con- ference between Huerta and General Diaz
 While Madero and his family are under arrest, crowds are running about the streets crying 'vivas" for Huerta and Diaz. Gen. Huerta's at tempt to communicate with Diaz this afternoon precipitated a sharp battle, in which the rebels opened up with a terrific fire of small arms. At 1 o'clock an order was given to cease firing and brought the battle to a close.
 Official order was then issued by the new government opening the cables for regular service. The cen sor, however, refused to leave his post for a considerable time after Madero's government had been busted.
 About the time that Madero was seized by Banquet, Gustavo Madero, was arrested by Gen. Huerta, who was dining with him in a public res taurant All the members of the cab inet were promptly placed under ar rest with the exception of Ernesto Madero, uncle of the president who held the portfolio of finance. He was appraised of the intentions against the Madero government and | made his escape.

LEGISLATORS ARE GETTING INTO
 THEIR STRIDE
LEGISLATIVE HOPPER IS FAST CHOKING UP WITM PET MEAS URES OF DIFFERENT MEM- BERS WHILE THE IMPORT ANT APPROPRIATION BILLS ARE UNHEARD g.
 OF,
Legislature Will Enter Upon It's Third Week Next Monday With Nothing Accomplished so Far of In-
 terest to Tax Payers.

On Monday next the Legislature will enter upon it's third week of the Third Session of the First State Legis lature Apparently the Legislators have been slow to set in motion the legislative wheels. The only bill SC far to receive the signature of the Governor is one appropriating fifty thousand dollars to defray the expen- ses of this session.
 An ancient Arizona custom was overturned when State Auditor J C.. Callaghan refused to pay a mileage claim of $34 presented by Represents tive Sam B. Bradner
 When Bradner was elected to the legislature he lived in Benson. After the adjournment of the first special session he was appointed secretary of the live stock sanitary board, and moved his residence to Phoenix.
 When the other legislators present ed their claims for mileage, Bradner claimed $34 for travelling expenses from Benson, ITO miles, at 20 cents 9 mile.
 Auditor Callaghan refused to pay Bradner his claim for mileage, and he was sustained by the Attorney General in his position.
 Senator c. B. Wood has intro duced in the senate a bill providing for the creation of a state reclama- tion service and bond issue of $2O-, 100000 to reclaim arid or semi-arid lands.
 Probably no bill introduced at this session of the Arizona legislature will cause more discussion, either in the legislature itself or throughout the na- tion. It is yet too early to tell what chance the measure has of passoge. In the house of representative Dren- nan will make a hard fight for it in the senate it will have a strong cham pion in Senator J. F. Brown of Casa Grande.
 The bill provides for the issuance of $2O, ,000 worth of bonds by the funding and loan commission. They shall not bear interest of more than for less than par.
 The bonds shall be sold 1n denOm1n- ations of $1,0O0 each as rapidly as money is needed for carrying out recla nation projects the state decides to undertake.
 Money raised from the sale of bonds shall be placed in the state reclama- ton fund This fund will be under the control of the state reclamation commission.

DE EMOCRATS AIM
 F0R BENEFIT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Remove the taiiI law iron mese and sugar
 to lessen the burden ofstaxation now i being borne by the poor, and place tax on the incomes of the rich, who are not now bearing their due pro- portion of the government expense.
 This promises to be a feature of 1 the legislature program of the demo cratic 63rd congress! Questions ask ed by witnesses before the ways and means committee indicated that meats and sugar may go on the free list. An income tax to make up for the loss of revenue from the tariff on meats and sugar will come soon into existence as result of the rati- fication Of the income tax amend ment to the constitution by the neces- sary three-fourths of the states. | This program should spell some reduction in the cost of living. The wholesale price of sugar in London where there is no tax on sugar, aver ages two cents a pound less than in New York. The same thing is true of beef. The cables frequently re- port that American beef, on which the transportation has been paid across the Atlantic, is being sold on the block in London two cents poun1 less than in the United States. This shows how these trusts have been taking advantage of home consumers whom they have at their mercy be- cause of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
 Naturally the sugar trust and the beef trust will not approve a policy of free sugar and free meat, but the sugar trust and the beef trust will not be in the saddle in Washington after March 4.
 Lloyd Did Great Work.
 Hon. James T. Lloyd has let it be known among his friends that he will not stand for reelection to the chair manship of the National Democratic Congressional committee. MT. Lloyd has served as chairman of this i'm portant committee six years, through three congressional elections, which is longer than any democrat was ever honored with the place.
 When MT. Lloyd, who comes from the First Missouri district and has long been one of the democratic leaders of the house, first took hold of the chairmanship of the congress sional committee, the republicans were in power in both branches of and seemed likely to be for many years to come. MT. Lloyd | a plan of close co-opera- ton with the democratic candidates for congress that was more system | atic and effective than any policy that | had ever been worked out before. Then he built up one of the largest | democratic news syndicates in the country.

when the land commission would sub- statement was made by Representa- tive Maddock, of Coconino county, that it was current gossip that land grabbers were actively at work in the state and were gaining an advantage through the operation of the state land commission.
 Representative Maddock did not entertain the idea that the advantage that land grabbers were gaining was result of collision with members Of the state land commission, but rath- CT through loop holes in the present law, which made their operations pos sible. It was to remedy such a sit uation, if it existed, that he desired to hear at once from the state land commission
 The rumor, which it seems has come to the ears of several legisla- tors is to the effect that, as fast as state lands have been selected by the land commission, such land has had script laid on it. Representative Kerr did not think this was likely for the reason that most land se- lected in unsurveyed, but several members gave testimony that there are several kinds of script offered for sale which can be laid on unsur- veyed land.
 Just what the inquiry that will be made by the land committee of the house will develop is anticipated with interest. It is known that the land commission is preparing a re- port, but no intimation has ever been made that they have found in the law a loop hole which is being used to advantage by land grabbers.
 PHOENIX, Feb. 17.-Memorials to congress advocating independence for the Philippines and government ownership of railroads, telegraph and telephones, was voted down in the state senate today by a vote of to 10.
 Christian scientists from all over the state appeared before the house
 
 protest against the proposed law which would prohibit the practice of healing.
 Worsley, author of the ownership bill talked nearly an hour, his re- marks being frequently applauded, the first real expression from the gal leries since the session convened.
 Opposition to the Pima county sen ator was led by Wood, of Yavapai, and Vessel, of Yuma, who took as the basis of his argument the situa- tion at present in the reclamation | service and the dealings of that | branch of the government with the | farmers of the Yuma and Salt River valleys. By a vote of 10 to s the | senate went on record in opposition to the memorial but it is said the fight is not yet ended.

The Truth About
Electric Cooking
nlent Store

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount Of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain in
results and safer in opera
tion-as we'll as reasonable
in cost.
In every family a few
utensils for early breakfast,
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
:two-is highly advisable
from every standpoint, IN
Guiding that of economy.
