Arizona Not To
Get Additional
Representative

PHOENIX, March 13.-Every YES
tige of hope that Arizona might OBJ
tain an additional representative in
congress through the 1880 census
and reapportionment of represen-
tation disappeared yesterday when
Gov. George w. P. Hunt received
official notice from William Tyler
Page, clerk of the house of repre-
ssntatives of congress, that Arizona
would he entitled to one represent
ative only.
When the taking of the census
began in 1880 it was generally be-
lieved and conceded in many quar-
ters that Arizona would obtain two
representatives in congress through
the reapportionment. After the CEN
sus was completed and the result
announced, the belief continued, but
was based upon whether Indians
would be counted for the purpose
of representation.
Hope Abandoned
However, it was finally decided
that Indians not taxed could not be
counted for representation under
the terms of the constitution, and
the hope that the state would get
two representatives instead of one
was abandoned.
The nail, however, was not cinch-
ed until yesterday, when the gov
ernor received an official document
from the clerk of the house, signed
and sealed, which read as follows:
II, william Tyler Page, clerk of
the house of representatives of the
United States, hereby certify, pur-
suant to section %, subdivision (b)
of the act of congress of the United
States Of America, entitled, An act

quent decennial censuses and to

That experts can be wrong

On Modification

The Anti.Saloon League today
differed sharply with the views
of DR.. Clarence True Wilson, of

In an interview printed exclu-
sively in The Washington Times
yesterday, DR.. Wilson stated that
modification is inevitable unless
the American people pull them
selves out of the depths of moral
depression"
Contributions Drop
He also pointed out as )ne
of the dangers of modification
that the churches are losing their
authority, that their membership
is dropping, and that cont1ibu-
tionS to the Anti-Saloon League
are less than half what they were
10 years ago.

where her money was. She re-
piled:
"All I have Is in my pocket
book. Please take the money
but leave the bag, as 1 am very

perienced, as he left no finger
prints, and very quietly moved

Ely, and Miss Sylvia Ely, his
daughter. were asleep on the
third floor of the house, but were

with a revolver, then left the
