TWO CONNECTICUT
CASES LIKE THAT
OF IDAHO ELECT0R
Hughes Men Were Also Cam
didateS on the State
Ticket.

II Woodrow Wilson is to lose an
electoral vote in Idaho because one
OF the four Presidential electors
chosen in that state was also a can
dldate for and elected to the Idaho
Legislature, then following the same
line OF reasoning, Hughes will lose
one, or two, electoral votes in Con-
nectieut where two of the Presiden-
tia1 electors were candidates for the
state legislature and one was elected.
80 far as known, qualifications OF
Presidential electors are fixed by the
federal government and not by the
states, and if the idaho contention is
correct it applies also to Connecticut.
Meagre news dispatches from Boise,
Idaho, Tuesday, said that James b
Pincock, one of the Wilson electors,
was a candidate for the Idaho legisla-
ture from Custer county and was
elected, and that political leaders out
there said the law was held to dis
qualify any Presidential eleetor who
was the holder of a state position and
that Pinceck's eligibility would prob
ably be tested

elector. is a. member of the state SEN
ate, and was a candidate for re-elec-
ton.
From this distance it seems there
must be some mistake in the news
about the claims of law in the Idaho
case. So far as can be learned the
only federal provision as to the quail
fcations Of Presidential electors is in
the constitution of the United States
which says that no senator or repre-
sentative, or person holding an office
of trust or profit under the United
States, shall he appointed an elector.
The disqualification of state officer
because he is a Presidential elector
seems to be entirely a matter for each
state to decide, and will apparently in
no way effect the electoral vote fer
President of the United States. Ger
tainly it would be very unjust to any
candidate for President to be deprived
of vote in the electoral college sim
ply because the man chosen from
certain state to vote for the Presl-
Dental candidate should happen to be
holdep of a position under his state
government.
In Connecticut there appears to be
no disqualification of state officer be-
cause he happens to be a Presidential
elector, and a perusal of the constltu-
ton of Idaho fails to show that in that
state the fact that if a man is Pres
idential elector it disqualifies him as
member of the legislature. More light
will have to be thrown on the Idaho
claims of law before Connecticut peo-
pie can understand the question raised
regarding the eligibility Of Mr.: Pin
cock to cast his vote for Wilson in the
electoral college.
If the Idaho claim is the broad one
under the federal constitution then 1t
would apply equally in Connecticut to
Mr.. Bowers or Senator Cheney.
Presumably Senator Cheney would

Member Would Raise

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 10.
TO prevent irregular attendance in
the Second Chamber of the Dutch
Parliament the Prime Minister, Mr..

forward the proposal that members
shall be paid an extra fee of 50 for
every sitting they attend. He pro-
poses also that the yearly salary of
members shall be raised from $500
to $1,000, with right to pension.
According to the Dutch Constitu-

Jitneys will no longer be permitted to occupy stands on the Main street in Lowell. Complaint has been made that they impede traffic and there fore they must find parking places elsewhere.
 Merchants in Lowell lodged com plaints with the Board of Supervisors who in turn took the matter to the county attorney Attention was called to the fact that Main street in Lowell is one of the most travelled thorough fares in the Warren District and sub ject to congestion unless much care is taken.
 County Attorney Ross looked up the law in the matter and found that as Main street is county highway, it comes under the jurisdiction of County Engineer J. c. Ryan. Mir. Ryan was notified of the responsibility he must undertake and this morning he will begin the clearing of the street of all jitneys, instructing their owners that in the future they must find stands elsewhere

KILLING COYOTES WILL BE PAYING BUSINESS
 FOR RANCHERS
Skins Are Now Worth Several Dollars and There Is Active Demand for Them from Firms in the East.

Ranchers, dry farmers and hunters in Cochise county this winter promise to put in a profitable winter in hunt ing and killing coyotes which are plentiful in all parts of the county.
 Just as every dog has his day, so, too, has the coyote. This is his day. The head of one of the largest fur houses in the United States has called attention to the fact that while the coyote is an unmitigated nuisance, a destructive pest and an unwholesome influence in the community, still he has his uses. His greatest asset now is his hide, for which there is keen demand.
 The better coyote skins are being dressed and dyed, head and all, until they resemble expensive fox furs, and furriers sell them as an imitation ac- ceptable to those unable to pay the prices demanded for fox furs. They are said to serve the purpose very well.
 The less desirable skins are used for lining for great-coats worn by sci- III U AAA OPNf aiAN there is said to be tremendous demand for them.
 Therefore, our citizens will afford themselves the pleasure of killing as many coyotes as they may chance to see, to mutilate the hides as little as Possible, and to sell them to furriers who will be glad to pay higher price than coyote skins, have ever before brought. For the present, at least, there is no need of killing coyotes for the sake of such bounties as the county may pay, merely. The coyote has more value than that If he has not killed too many chickens during his career, the coyote may thus be made to pay more than the damage he has done.

CHESTER 4. CONGDON PROMINENT C. & 4.
 OFFICIAL, DIES
Telegram From St. Paul An nounces His Sudden Death. Was Result of a Nervous Breakdown.

Advices were received in this city yesterday conveying the news of the death of Chester A. Congdon, at St. Paul, Minnesota. Mir. Congdon was one of the largest stockholders of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company, of this district, and also in the New Cornelia. The telegram did not state what was the direct cause of his death but it is supposed it was the result of a nervous breakdown that he suffered about ten days ago.
 Mr. Congdon was 63 years of age, and besides his wife he leaves three daughters and three sons. The funeral services will be held in Duluth on Fri day afternoon, next, at 2:30.
 Mir Congdon was one of the active men of the state of Minnesota and at the time of his death was the National Republican committeeman from that state. He has always taken an active interest in politics. Besides being in terested in copper mines in the west he was heavily interested in iron mines in Minnesota and Michigan. He was a lawyer by profession and en- joyed a large practice. He was at one time assistant United States attorney for Minnesota and was active in the prosecution of land frauds several years ago in Minnesota and the Da- kotas and at that time gained quite a reputation as a pIosecutor.
 He has many friends in the Warren District who regret to hear of his death and who extend to the family their most heartfelt sympathy.

OFFICERS CATCH MAN WHO ROBBED HOUSE
 AT SOUTH BISBEE
John Lewis, alias Ralph Sales Is Arrested for Robbing the Home of John Smith by Brake6eld and Hodges.

Deputy Sheriff William Brakefield yesterday morning arrested John Lewis, alias Ralph Sales, at tile War ren ranch on a charge of burglar. The officers have been endeavoring to get trace of him for several weeks. He was traced to Douglas and came back from there to the Warren rancn on Sunday.
 He was wanted for entering the home of John Smith at South Bisbee on the 4th of this month. and stealing a quantity of jewelry, clothing and nearly everything that he could lay his hands on.
 When he was arrested a search was made of his belongings and all of the articles that were taken from the house were recovered with the eXcep- tion of one pair of leggings. He was taken before Judge Smith where he admitted that he had stolen the arti- cles. He waived his preliminary ex- animation and was ordered held to await the action of the grand jury un- der a 5000 bond, which he was un- able to give and he was placed in the branch county jail.
 The work of the officers in keeping after him is to be commended and it is believed that he had been impli- cated in other thefts in the District. He will now be placed where he will have a chance to reconsider his re cent escapades.
