YOIi. XV. NO. 2DO rfi ARIZONA NELSON Why lie Thinks Joint Good for All Senator Foraker Desires to Know if a Pledge to Arizona, in the Organic Act, Ought not to Be Kept The Minnesota Senator's Reply Is That Congress Has Power at any Time to Violate It by Changing the Boundaries. Washington.

Jan. a. The joint statehood bill again today occupied the major portion of the attention of the senate and Mr. Nelson completed his speech in support of it. The omnibus claim bill was read in part, but no effort was made to secure action on it.

Pills for the reorganization of the medical corps of the army and regulating promotions of army officers in the ordnance department were passed. the course of his address Mr. Nelson was interrogated by a number of senators among them being Mr. For-aker, who called attention to a proviso of the organic act of the territory of Arizona concerning its continuance as such. not that proviso in the nature of a pledge for a continuance of the territory as it was created until it should be transformed into a tate," asked the Ohio senator, but Mr.

Nelson did not assent to the proposition. he said, "even if was a pledge it was not an irrevocable one, for congress remains absolutely in control of the territories until they become states, so that it is perfectly competent to change the boundaries If it is desired to do so." Mr. Nelson argued that while New Mexico and Arizona cover an extended area, the section has been backward in development and will continue to be. owing to lack of moisture. lie did not admit, as was suggested by Mr.

Foraker, tir.it the backwardness was due to hostile Indians or the existence of Mexican land grants. He read a letter from Director Wolcott of the geological survey, saying that only about l.Cuoimi acres of land in Arizona and N.v Mexico, or one per cent of the total area, was under irrigation or capable of irrigation.

I. Coal Case He Desires to Prove That His System Is not a Transgressor of the Laws of the Land, Chicago, Jan. 5. The Record -Herald tomorrow will say: President K. P.

Uipley of the Santa Fe railroad telegraphed to the interstate commerce commission asking for a rehearing in the now famous Colorado Fuel and lion company case. His purpose, as indicated in his statement made later, is to endeavor to clear his railway of the charges of lawlessness and to give Secretary of the Navy Morton an op- portunity to answer Ijis critics. At a 1 lite hour tonight Mr. Ripley had not received a reply, but there is little doubt that the ren.uest will be granted and ar. early date set for the hearing.

The commission was not asked to have the hearing at any particular place, 1 but at; the matter came to a head 'at Chicago, it is expected that the inquiry will he lesumed here. President Ripley torfight said that shdulii the rehearing be granted, he would take the stand and make a full disclosure regarding the Santa Fes dealjng in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company case. Asked If Secretaiy Morton also would be a witness, he said he did not doubt that he would. although he had not communicated with him upon this point. "I should think," he declared, "that Mr.

Morton would insist upon being heard and I have no doubt he will do so. I have asked the commission for a rehearing because the Santa Fe has been branded In the public print all over the country as a flagrant and barefaced transgressor of the law and also because of an apparent attempt to injure Mr. Morton, now a member of the cabinet. The Santa Fe is not a law breaker, and in the case under discussion we nave done no wrong nor transgressed the law as we understand the law." "What will be the gist of the Santa Fe'3 defense before the commission?" "That it was simply an agreement between the Santa Fe and the El Paso and Southwestern whereby the former was to accept a ton on all coal up to Deming, provided it was destined for any of the industries on the line of the El Paso and Southwestern. The rate applied to all industries and left them open to buy coal from any one.

That is, any shipper of coal could get the same rate. I am not sure that the-through tariffs were on file with the commission and I think that perhaps They were not. We do not understand that the publication of through tarjffs was necessary as there was an agreement with the El Paso Southwestern regarding supplies consumed by the industries along Its lines. As we understand the law, such supplies are an exception to the rule." BIG PLAY OF ELKS Festive Fawns Fonght Furiously for Freedom. Phoenix lodge B.

P. O. Klks last night took into full membership a class of candidates numbering about twenty. It was probably the most peculiar aggregation of neophytes that ever got into any secret society. All societies, including the Klks, generally demand that a candidate be in ordinary health with a life expectation to at least survive the year in which he is initiated.

Phoenix lodge had selected this bunch of fawns as being an unusually promising lot, clear of eye, supple of limb and well groomed. The members of the lodge therefore were more or less chagrined early in the week to hear that this one or that one was ailing. Rumors were in circulation concerning others that their family history was bad. The parents of some had died of heart failure. Others had the rheumatism or were given to fainting spells when frightened.

It" transpired that only two members of the entire class would be taken as a risk even by an accident insurance company and it seemed that the lodere was about to en cumber itself with an invalid corps that would make the building of a hospital an immediate necessity. But-' the old stags knew better. They know there is only one place this side the i grave where wicked men get their just deserts and that is in an Klks lodge. They knew theerfore that the weakness that seemed epidemic among the fawn herd was only feigned, a sort of a plea for mercy and kind treatment during the' ordeal ahead of them. But the lodge resolved to be kind so it obligated the sick ones and gave-the real thing to the two -healthy candi- 1 dates as an object lesson.

When ceremonies were over it was amazing how the invalids began to improve and the only ones who. had to go to the infimary were the two husky ones who were so well early in the evening. That is why it Is recorded in the bible that there is a time to laugh and a time to cry, which being paraphrased means there is a time to be sick and a time to be well and It is a wise man who knows an opportune time to be sick. Per contra it is a very unfortunate one who doesn't. Yea, verily.

What took place in the lodge hall will never be fully kn-iwn outside. But some of it is known for it leaked out the windows and split the air. There was much laughter punctuated by howls, alternating with howls punctuated by laughter. Then there was something that sounded like an assault on Rhilung hilh followed by a requiem on the piano, the ceremony ending by a general stampede in which one could imagine the long horns fatally goring the unfortunates. It was a rough house but no arrests were made, for the police had been fixed.

If they were not fixed they would have been had they tried to interfere. At the conclusion of the ritualistic tortures, the candidates were led to the dining hall and introduced to a prearranged plan conceived in Hoghe's restaurant, designed to inculcate the virtues of suicide by the banquet route. Suicide was not compulsory but no properly constituted man would refuse a proper effort in that direction after viewing the table. This sort of a death is recommended as being most pleasant, because it is lingering and one gets his money's worth. It may be years before the victim finally succumbs, but it is a cinch that every man who participated in that banquet will die.

The menu consisted of roast pig, turkey, roast beef, boiled ham, cold tonglae and about everything else one could think of that would go through a' man's fac without spoiling its shape. It was served a la Hoghe's ranch, with green trimmings. Some of it was straight up and some of it was turned over, but it all went down at the finish. The banquet hall was specially decorated. There were antlers and purple ribbons alternating with rainbow fresco work till the fawns imagined the whole world was a lodge room imd there was nothing in it but Elks and good things to eat and nothing to it without them.

And perhaps they were right. The poet says man wants but little here below and statistics tell us that he dies but once. There is a bunch of faw ns now ready for the harvest for they got all that was coming to them last night and all the rest of life will bo velvet. A CHICAGO DESPERADO He Kills a Policeman but Is Himself Killed. Chicago, Jan.

5. One person wa3 killed, another mortally wounded and two others wounded less seriously today during an attempt by the police to capture Harry Feinberg, a brother of the former pugilist, "Kid Farmer," now in the penitentiary. Harry Fein-; berg was wanted In connection with i the shooting of a policeman seeral months ago, and also hi connection with a number of robberies. Policemen James Keefe and Richard Birmingham encountered Feinberg today at Twenty-firth Place and Wallace street. Without warning Fein-: berg fired twice at his would-be cap-1 tors.

The policemen promptly return- mingham was struck and slightly wounded. Feinberg ran, entering a saloon, the policemen following. In the house three 0more shots were fired by Feinberg, one lodging In Keefe's abdomen. Keefe fell to the floor, dying almost Instantly. Saloon Keeper Frank Gagan also was wounded.

In the excitement Feinberg escaped from the house but was captured later, being trailed by blood in the snov. He was taken dying to a hospital, a.d Saloon Keeper Gagan was put under arrest. Both Feinberg and Gairai were convicts together at Joilct -penitentiary. THE FORESTRY CONGRESS The Principal Address of the Session by President Roosevelt. Washington.

Jan. 5. President Roosevelt was the principal speaker at a special session of the American Forestry congress held this afternoon at the National theater. The president, accompanied by Secretary Loeb. arrived at the theater promptly at 3 o'clock.

He was escorted to the stage entrance and as he appeared before the immense audience which filled every part of the house, the people received him f-tanding, while the theater rang with applause and the orchestra played a patriotic air. Secretary Wilson presided over the session and many of the most distinguished people in official and social life were in the audience. Secretary Taft and Mrs. Taft, Secretary Hitchcock and Mrs. Hitchcock and Miss Hitchcock, and Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador, occupied boxes.

On the stage were many prominent members of the forestry congress. Secretary Wilaon, in presenting President Roosevelt, who was the first speaker, made-no address, simply introducing Mr. Roosevelt as president of the United States. After applause had subsided, the president delivered his address which was punctuated frequently with applause. At the conclusion of the address the president, bowing his acknowledgments to the audience, left the theater and returned to the White House, the audience standing and the band played "The Star Spangled Banner" before he left the stage.

Secretary Wilson then introduced M. Jusserand, the ambassador of France, who delivered an address on "The Forest Policy of France." When the ambassador had concluded the band played "The Marseillaise." Other speakers at the session were Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific railway, who in discussing the dependence of business interests upon the forest; showed the importance of co-operation with the government in the preservation of timber lands, the interests of all being dependent, the one upon the other; and F. E. Weyerhauser of St. who urged the necessity of arousing a public interest in practical forestry, speaking from the standpoint of a practical lumberman.

DISASTER Admiral Rojestvensky's Flagship Strikes Upon a Rock and Sinks The Remainder of the Baltic Squadron Will Be Recalled Into European Waters The Japanese Speculating Regarding the Sunken Ships at Port Arthur Gathering of Japanese Reinforcements North of Liao Yang. Paris, Jan. 5. The St.

Petersburg correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald telegraphs that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's flagship, the battleship Kniaz Souvaroff, has struck a rock and foundered. The latest report from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's t-quadron was contained in a dispatch dated Tamatave, Island of Madagascar, January 2, in which it was stated that the vice admiral's division of the Russian second Pacific squadron, consisting of live battleships, three cruisers, two transports and a hospital ship, had anchored on that day in the roadsted of Saint Marie, an island on the east coast. RUSSIA'S INTERNAL WOES. It Is Possible that They Will Force a Peace With Japan. St.

Petersburg. Jan. 5. The emperor returned today to Tsarskoe-Selo from Minsk. An extraordinary council is expected to be held at Tsarskoe-Seio immediately and it is believed the whole situation will be reviewed.

Ku-ropatkin has been called upon to telegraph his opinion of the situation at home. There is evidence that revolutionary agitators have decided to take every advantage of the government's embarrassment and that the moderate liberals who are trying- to force the hand of the government to compel the summoning of a national assembly are also beginning to redouble their efforts. The newspapers, despite the punishment inflicted upon them are speaking with boldness and seemingly regardless of consequences are savagely criticising bureaucracy. The zemstvos, despite the government's warning, continue to memoralize the throne on reforms. Consequently in spite of the loud protestations of the official world that peace is impossible, the opinion is held by shrewd observers that the government may be forced to conclude a peace with Japan In order to have free hands to deal with the internal situation.

Tsarskoe-Selo, Jan. 5. The emperor received this morning the report of M. Witte, the finance minister, in regard to progress of the work of drafting reform measures. Subsequently 2.1.

Witte lunched with his majesty and had a long conference with him. ROJESTVENSKY WILL RETURN. St. Petersburg. Jan.

5. Although orders to that effect have not been sent Rojestvensky, the Associated Press is able to announce positively that decision has been reached that the Russian second Pacific squadron will return to European waters. MANCHURIAN ACTIVITY. Huan Shan, Jan. 5.

Manchuria: Japanese reinforcements are now cm-centrating around Bensihu, thirty miles northeast of Liao Yang Indicating that the Japanese are again directing their attention to the Russian right flank. THE SUBMERGED FLEET. Japanese Will Examine the Vessels at Port Arthur. Tokio, Jn. 5.

Japanese naval officials have not examined the sunken Russian warships in Port Arthur. Therefore nothing is known of their condition as to the possibility of further use. The Japanese are keenly anxious to know the condition of the vessels. It is believed that some of them are salvable and an examination will be made at the earliest possible moment. The Russians Ingeniously blocked the dry dock by sinking the transport Amur inside the dock.

The Russians surrendered possession of the dockyards and other naVal property yesterday and. turned over two small steamers available for immediate use. The care of many prisoners is a trou- i fclesome task and the question of re-' turning them to Russia later is now 1 being considered at Tokio. General I Nogi probably will return to Tokio at the request of the emperor to receive a popular ovation. THE EFFECT ON NOGI.
