HOW PROHIBITION
BILL WAS KILLED

The most important action that has
been taken in the present legislature
was the defeat OF the prohibition bill
Monday afternoon. says the News.
This bill had been made a special or
der of business for 2;3O Monday and
an effort was made TO again postpone
action until February 5, but this failed,
and after several other Interruptions
a general discussion of the measure
was entered into.
Assemblyman Booher of Elko Coun-
ty was the first TO take the floor and
he inquired of the judiciary commit.
tee. if the passage of the bill. which
is identical with the initiative petition,
would place the measure on the ballot
at the next general election for Il vote
of the people. and. If defeated by the
assembly would the question be placed
before the people for their decision.
Chairman Hardy of the judiciary com
mittee. replied that there was some
doubt in his mind on this point and
he preferred not to give a decisive
answer to the question.
Mr.. Booher later stated that he had
declared himself as favoring the Is.
sue and that he had been requested
by a number of young men TO help
pass the bill in order TO protect them.
as they were unable to protect them

vote: an initiative measure SO ap'

pealed by the legislature within three
(3) years from the date said act takes
effect"
This appeared to clear up all doubts
on the question.
Assemblyman Coryell stated that
he desired to express views before
rather than after he had returned
home. as most afterexplanations ar,
unsatisfactory and are not well re
ceived. There was nothing in tn,
platform on which he ran relative Il
prohibition, and no one had men
toned the matter to him during cleo
ton or since. He declared he would
vote against the bill and let the PEG
pie decide for themselves.
The vote resulted in 81 against,
for and ] absent. Those voting fol
the bill were Assemblymen Booher
Gallagher. Griffith. Renfro and VII
liams.

were rescued. The cause of the per.
sons being entombed was the manner
in which parts of the debris fell after
the explosion which caused the fire.
Firemen cut a hole through the floor,
ing and found three young girls lying
on bed alive. Two of them conscious
and the other unconscious, but all of
them will survive. The estimate of the
dead Is placed at between thirty and
fifty by the police. Other explosions
are taking place occasionally and this
serves to block the efforts of the res
cuers. The primary cause of the ex
plOsion is said to have been the act o.
drunken employee of the gas com
pany. 1t is claimed that he plugged
hole in the gas pipe with laundry soal
to stop leak.

MEXICAN SCARE BELOW PHOENIX
 ONLY HYSTER|A
(By Review Leased Wire)

PHOENIX, April 9.-Ten Mexicans, walking from Gila Bend to Buckeye in search of employment, so badly frightened Joseph .Edmonds. manager of the Carrothers' mach, near Gi!a Bend, this afternoon. that Edmonds and his wife, after deserting the ranch and hiding for two hours in the brush along the river bank, walked into Gila Bend and threw Central Arizona into a state of feverish excitement when they related a story of an attempted raid by band of uniformed Villista soldiers"
 Posses were sent out from Phoenix, Buckeye, Arlington and Gila Bend. but not until tonight when the Phoe- nix posse found the MeNicans encamp- ed on the Gila River, was any clue found The Mexicans admitted they had visited the Carrothers' ranch in search of work. They were unarmed. were barefooted and appeared harm less. They are being held tonight in the Buckeye jail.
 United States cavalry stationed at Ajo had been ordered to take up pur- suit of the imaginary bandits but were recalled when word of the ar rest was received.

AUSTRIAN SHIPS AND
 CREWS HELD IN NY.
 BY U. $. AUTHORITIES
(By Review Leased Wire. )

NEW YORK. April 9.-Four Aus trian ships, one Of them a passenger liner, that have been self-interned here since the beginning of the war, were seized by customs officials to- day acting under instructions from Washington. The officers and crews of the ships, numbering in all 6S men were interned at Ellis Island.
 The four ships seized were the pas senger steamer Martha Washington. S,312 tons. built in 1908; Ida. 4,730 tons. built in 1906; Dora. 7.037 tons, built in 1913, and the Himalaya, 4.93S tons, built in 1910. Hurried examina- tion of the vessels led the officials to believe that none of them had been damaged seriously.
 The comparatively few men found on board is accounted for by state ments that some of the crews had been discharged.
 An unconf1rmed report in marine circles was that negotiations between the American Steamship company and owners of the four ships looking to their purchase had been under way for some weeks. and that if permitted the purchase might now be consum. mated.

R lCHARD OLNEY DIES AT

End Brings Relief To Long Severe Sufferings of Former Secretary of State Under Cleveland.
(By Review Leased Wire)


 BOSTON, April 9.-Richard Olney statesman. once secretary of state and always noted student of information. al affairs. died at his home in the Fenway, in the Back Bay district at S:45 o'clock last night. Word of the passing of the great citizen was not given to the public until today.
 The end came after a protracted pc riod of intense suffering which failed to shake the courage that marked his S2 years
 Richard Olney served successively as attorney general and secretary of state during the administration of President Cleveland. and although at the head of the state department for the short period of one year and nine months only. he won reputation as a statesman of commanding ability and force. His greatest triumph was his successful insistence upon arbitration of the boundary dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela.
 Imperturbly disregarding the warn ings that a rigid maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine might plunge the United States into war with Great Britain, President Cleveland and Sec retary Olney carried out their own ideas of diplomacy. In his famous message sent through Ambassador Bayard to Lord Salisbury, British sec retary of state for foreign affairs, MT. Olney. promising the inalienable right of the United States to intervene in questions affecting the territorial in tegrity of South American countries, said in part:
