IVES STIRS UP A REAL ROW
 IN BALLOT CONTEST

PHOENIX, March H.-Apparcntly aware that the tide of battle has turn cd against him and that it is only a matter of a few weeks before Gov crnor Campbell will have a majority the Hunt forces will not be able to overturn, Senator Ives, chief counsel for the former State executive, made sensational charges against the Camp bell attorneys in a statement before Judge Stanford this morning. Sem ator Ives alleged that the fraudulcn; procedure in Douglas No. was prompted by the Republican party; accused Judge Sloan of hiring detec- tives to doface the ballots; charged that these same detectives spirited away Art Pearson and have been filling him with liquor and feeding him that he might not return and eX- pose the vile acts of the contestee and his attorneys"
 Senator Ives statement came as q surprise to the Campbell attorneys. With a voice that shook with anger and indignation, Judge Sloan arose and answered the scurrilous attack, addressing his remarks to his accuser, and shaking his fist in Senator Ives face:
 'G admit that we have hired dctcc- tivcS to trail Pearson, admit that we know where he is, but I deny most emphatically that Pearson left Doug las in custody of detective employed by uS," Judge Sloan said. "Wc want to get a confession from him. We knew that a statement from his lips on tho witness stand might not be the truth. These charges arc absurd. Never before in the history of my practice have I received such insults nor have I ever been accused of cm- ployirg detectives to gain illegal cvi dcncc for me Senator Ives says he will bring witnesses who will throw some light on the real perpetrators of the fraud in Douglas No. l. We wei come such evidence if it is the truth. We know the truth but it would be impossible to get confession from the members of that corrupt election board"
 Judge Stanford sustained the mo- tion Of the contestant 10 strike out the testimony of Stevenson regarding the alleged confession Of II. II. Hart The court agreed with Senator Ives that the testimony was merely hcarsay.
 The motion of the contestant to amend the complaint so as to include investigation of Snowflake precinct where ives claimed there was fraud and misconduct on the part of the election board, was denied by Judge Stanford without waiting to hear ar gumcnt by the Campbell attorneys. The court stated that if Senator Ives knew of any discrepancy or fraud in that precinct he should have brought it up before resting his case. Judge Stanford said that if he allowed the contestant to amend the complaint, inc contcstcc might want the same privilege later on and the contest would go on indefinitely.
 The argument on the motion tc strike out tine entire precinct of Doug las No. was-made by Attorney Bull ,1rJ no recited seven cases where an entire precinct was thrown out when -.;dcncc was presented that showed fraud and irrogularity on the part of .h~ election board.
 The court will announce Monday when it expects to be ready to rule on the motion to strike out Douglas No. and in the meantime other precincts will be counted.

CAMPBELL EITHER
 TO CAIN HEAVILY,
 OR HUNT TO STICK

PHOENIX, March l6.-Adding l5 sure votes to Campbcll's total, the re count this afternoon brought his gain up 10 70 ballots Thirty-onc Camp bell votes are in the hands Of Judge K. C. Stanford of the Superior court for decision.
 With two motions before him, Judge Stanford is now to decide a pair of cases in which either Camp bell will gain heavily, or else the Hunt claimed gain will remain at its pres cnt figure, 229. One motion is that oi the Campbell attorneys four days ago, 10 strike out all the 75 ballots counted for Hunt out of precincts where the recount totals exceed those on the poll books. The other, made today, is to strike out the entire pre- cinct Of Douglas No. on the grounds of patent frauds and Irregularities in the election, including the marking or about SO Republican ballots for the Democratic candidates. If the Doug las No. l is stricken out, Campbell will come out of the recount with q majority of about 100, and if both Douglas No. and the other precincts are thrown out, his majority will be in the neighborhood of l50, according to a conservative estimate of Rcpub- lican managers tonight
 Accounting was resumed this after noon in Cochisc county. Campbcll's certain gains were as follows: Will gus precinct, s; Hereford, 3; Turner, }; Don Luis, l, making Q total Of Is. One additional Campbell ballot was taken under adyiscmcnt.
 Forty-Five More Precincts.
 There arc 4 more precincts, con taining Sl000 ballots, to be offered by the Campbell side They estimate that at the present rate of counting. it will take only four more days tc complete the case.

 On the other hand, the trend of the recount has swung so obviously ;n Campbcii's favor, the great majority of Democrats, even including r.a"r Hunt mcn here ,arc beginning 10 con- ccdc that the case looks blocl. fo~ :'.c former chief executive.

BUFFALO FEARS PLOT
ADVANTAGEOUS PLANNED TO
SEIZE CITY.
Officials OF Chamber Of Commerce APP
peal to Gov. Whitman for Militia
Guard Over Power Plants.

Buffalo. N. Y, March 28.--oficials
OF the Buffalo Chamber OF Commerce
appealed to Governor Whitman for q
militia guard over the industrial
plants at Buffalo, Niagara Fails and
Tonawanda. Pending the arrival Of
the troops, a heavy armed guard was
placed about the plants.
This action was taken after the
chamber OF commerce had received in
formation, reported to have been given
to the directors by federal secret serv-
ice operatives, that giant conspiracy
had been entered into for the destruc-
tion of the Buffalo water works and
the big industrial concerns in the three
cities, especially those engaged in the
manufacture of munitions, in case wal
is declared between the United States
and Germany.
The secret service men are said to
have informed the officials Of the
chamber that there is in Buffalo q
well organized anti-American party
having 10000 members. In its opera
tfon the organization is said to have
arranged to get possession OF all THE
arms and ammunition in the city. They
are said to have listed the rifles and
small arms in sporting goods stores.
The qualifications OF the plot are
widespread. II was arranged to move
at once upon the plants picked for de
struction In the event Of war being de
elared and destroy them. The destruc
ton of the waterworlSs was the next
step, and then The armorieS Of tbs
Seventy-fourth New York infantry ant
the Third artillery were to be seized.
Chief of Police Martin, called into
conference with the secret service mer
and the chamber Of commerce. direc
tors, told them he did not have enough
men 10 guard this city.
A house in South Division Street n
which the secret service men say this
plot was hatched. has been watched
for months. "
