2, A which must be held on the fifth i nrnrlamation Tuesaay aw i is issued, and the length of the campaign that tho people ao.r thereafter." IH-H-5 fiovernor Richard E. Sloan When opened his mail yesterday he found in a big letter from the White House, the official verification of Arizona's well understood joy and gladness, the certification of President Tart, of the passage of the statehood resolution, under the authority of which the governor is to issue a proclamation calling an election for the selection of state the passing of judgment on the elimination of the recall of judges from the Arizona constitution. Thereupon Instantly became per tinent 'the question as to me aaie the election and reaifjguan.cy. of the proclamation by which It is to bp C8lled. These questions being put to the, governor he indicated that it was a matter he should approach without unseemly haste as it deeply concerns the whole people and there arc things in connection with the election to consider.

First it is to be held under the provisions- of ordinance No 2 passed by the constitutional convention which provides direct primaries which must be held on the firth Tuesday after the Issuance of the proclamation. That would throw the primary on the 2nd of October if the proclamation were 'to issue at once, -thereafter will come the canvassing of the primary' returns by the board provided for by the election ordinance, which will take a little time to determine who the candidates arc. Then will come the campaign and while the people do not want to delay-matters lpnger than necessary, they want time enough to make a proper icanvass. The governor seemingly is desirous of knowing the wishes of all parties all over the territory" as to the length of the campaign and Indicates that he will act just as promptly as he can when this information, is at hand and the proclamation can be drawn in accordance with tho provisions of its authorlza- 'tion. He condensed his statement of the matter into the following: "I will determine in tho next few days-when I wfll issue the proclama-tfon and call the election.

I want to be fully advised as to how much time should be allotted, having in view the primaries under ordinance No. 2, which must be hold on the Tuesday after the proclamation Is Issued and the length of the campaign tha the people desire thereafter." The letter from the' White House contained the certification of President Taft and the acting secretary of state, Huntington Wifson, together with the certificate to the president by P. C. Knox, secretary of state, of the authenticity of a printed copy of tho statehood resolution passed by con-' gress, Which was attached thereto. Secretary Knox's certificate is adorned with a tasteful golden seal and a red ribbon, the president's certificate being ornamented only with the great seal of the United States.

The hrn-guage of the two certificates follows: "To the Governor of the Territory of Arizona! "Pursuant to the provisions of a joint resolution of the senate and the house of representatives of the United States, approved August the 21, nineteen hundred and eleven, a copy of which is hereunto annexed, the adoption of the. said resolution Is. hereby certified to you, to the end that you shall issue your proclamation for an election by the nualified voters of Arizona to be held no earlier than sfxty nor later than ninety days thereafter, at which election the qualified voters of Arizona shall vote upon the proposition and for the officers specified in paid joint resolution, in accordance with the terms and condi tions thereof, and that the results of said election be certified to the pres ident by the governor of the said ter ritory.

SINCLAIR'S SUIT FOR A DIVORCE WIFE'S IDEA ABOUT THINGS SUCH She, Husband and Co-respondent in Friendly Gathering New York, Autpist 27. Upton Sinclair, author arid socialist writer brought a suit for divorce today on statutory grounds. Harry Kemp, the poet, is named as co-respondent. While the papers were being prepared by Sinclair's attorney for service upon his wife and the poet corespondent, she, her husband and Kemp sat In the assembly room of a large Broadway hotel quietly discussing with reporters the problems of marital relations and Utopia in general.

The author and his wife frequently addressed each other in endearing terms and in the most matter-of-fact way Sinclair told his wife that his attorney would call later in the day and he did with formal papers. Mrs. was asked if she would fight the divorce. "No," she said. "I have not yet consulted a lawyer, but my present intentions are not to defend the suit." When Informed of the statutory grounds which the law requires for granting divorce, she said: "It does not seem tq me that a divorce shouid be a disgrace, even If tho divorce is obtained upon such grounds as you say must be shown in this state.

I believe the individual is justified in pursuing his or her ideal. I have the misfortune to have a conservative husband. Ho Is conservative by in stinct and nature, and radical merely by choice. A monogamist ought to be able to act the part of a husband; In other words, he ought to have some time io uevoiu ma He should not be so absorbed in his work that the true proportions oi human relationship fade into insig nificance beside his work." Mrs. Sinclair said she expected to go away for a rest, but she added that Kemp would not accompany ner.

She said however that uotn oi them might later go on the stage. Sinclair said he was going to his homo at Arden Del. NO MORE "HAM AND Long Beach Lunch Man Half Million. Heir to Lone Beach. Aug.

FEDERATION Harriman Lines Will Refuse Its Demands KRUTTSGHNITT TELLS WHY Recognition, He- Says, Would Destroy the Ability of the System to Serve the Public and Comply With the Laws.

San Francisco, Aug 28. That the granting of the demands of tho, federated shop employes of the Harriman lines would mean chaos, that it would abridge or deprive tho corporations of their ability to fulfil the duties Imposed upon them by the law and that officers so deliberately betraying their trusts as to agree to such arrangements, would be universally and justly condemned by public opinion, was a statement tonight by Julius vicc- President of tho Harriman system Kruttschnitt took up in detail tho reasons for refusing the demands of tho shopmen, saying: "These are reasons why we decline to surrender to an irresponsible committee of federated employes, representing a very small portion of- the public, a trust confined to us by the entire ipublic, and why we will not concede to such a committee the right to dictate whether we shall or shall not fulfill for twenty millions of people in seventeen states, the duties that are clearly defined bylaw. "The employes demands are substantially as follows: "First, a recognition of the federation of shop employes. Heretofore, issups arising with the machinist, the bollermaker, the blaclcsmith, or the sheet metal worker, were taken up by his associates of that craft: when not successfully adjusted strikes of that craft have followed, but they were not serious enough to prevent the roads from performing tbe public service for which they were created. Under the system proposed, the issue on a small road system In Louisiana might stop all shop work throughout the entire 'system- by requiring members to strike in California, Oregon, Washington, or Nebraska.

"Second, all present or future employes shall Join the federated asso ciation within thirty days. This means the discharge of all the employes who do not join, or an absolutely closed shop. "Third, that the company shall agree that a final settlement of differences shall rest with a federated committee, representing all five crafts. This would place the employes of all crafts behind a demand made by any one craft, and encourage unreasonable demands, not likely to be made by an individual craft, "Fourth, a restriction of the number of apprentices. This would deny to American boys an opportunity to learn trades.

'Fifth, a flat increase oT seven cents an hour to. all mechanics, apprentices and helpers; an average for the en- tiro shon forces of 23 per anil a reduction of hours and other demands giving 13 per cent additional. The Southern Pacific is now paying higher wages than any other road in the United States and has Increased the pa; in ay of all Its shop crafts 12 per cent the past five years. "Sixth, abolishing the piece, or prem ium, or bonus system, the ship forc- manships to be filled by promotion from ameng the federated employes. This is in direct conflict with public will, recently emphatically expressed.

that the increased expense or carriers should be met by increased efficiency of operation, and not by an Increase of freight rates. "Seventh, that no form of physical examination or personal record shall be required. This denies to companies the right of every citizen to require c-f persons entering his service evidences of competency, good character, and health and deprives the companies of all protection under the fellow servant laws of many states. "Eighth, if the force is reduced, the employes are to indicate who shall be laid off. This would embarass the company In itscf forts ta' increase effi ciency by riding tne service oi mei-flcient employes.

"Ninth, that no employes, belonging to the federation, shall be discharged without tho consent of the federation. This would require the company In volved to meet a committee represent ing all its craftsmen, which committee would owe allegiance to a general com mittee composed of all craftsmen of all the lines of the -Harriman system L. Jlequin, president of the fed erated fehop employes of the Harri when shown Krutscnnitrs statement tonight, said he was con fident in spite of the statement that URNED 001 the demands of the men will be gran- ed. Kruttschnitt may change his atti tude" he said, when he discovers that 99 per cent of tho shopmen arc standing by the federation." Denver, 28. While J.

A. Franklin, president of tha bollermak-crs and M. T. Ryan, president of tho car men arc speeding to San Francisco in the hope of averting a strike on the Harriman system, strike breakers are being rushed to San Francisco in anticipation of a general walk-out. according to the Denver Republican.

During tho last three days three parties, of twelve men each, passed through Denver. Most of them come from points in Pennsylvania and others eastern cities, though several were secured in the middlo west 1 Their passage has been kept quiet as there Is still a prospect that the trouble will be settled. All the men arc machinists. BURDEN OF GRIEF. Greater Than Could be Borne By Widower.

Grief over the death of his wife led Edward Bennett, an Englishman, and graduate of Oxford, who has been a res ident here for three years to kill his three children and then himself to night. He used chloroform and cyanide of potassium. To make sure of his death, after taking the cyanide he jumped into the ocean.

His body was cast up at high tide later in the night. The children were Edward, aged Barbara, and Nancy, 2. His wire died three weeKs ago, since when the children were cared for by a housekeeper. BOYLES OF GLOBE BEAT THE BDNCO ARTISTS They Let Him in For Four Hundred Dollars. Los Angeles.

Aug. 28. E. D. Boylcs a cowboy and rancher of Globe, Arizona; felt $7,500 shpping through his hands yesterday but to day he is probably the happiest man in town for he escaped what ho be lieves to bo the clutches of several bunco men At Boyles' instance, J.

He went there and found telegraphers busy with clicking keys and other evidences of prosperity. So lie placed a "feeler" of one dollar on a horse. He was soon handed $5. Then little by little his enthusiasm got the better of his judgment until he handed over a check for $7,500. As he got no returns Boylcs soon got suspicious and immediately Mopped payment of the check.

As this maneuver tied up the alleged attempt at bunco Thompson was released by tho police as Boyles expressed a desire not to As the now stands Boyles Is $100 ahead of the game. TOWNS OF THE SOUTH Charleston and Savannah Cut Off From tha World. Charleston. S. C.

V'. CONDEMNED BY COUSIN Young Beattie Brought Near the Electric Chair THE ACCUSED'S ADMISSION Twenty-four Hours After the' Murder of his Wife, He Told His Cousin He Wished to G-od He Hadn't Done it. Chestorficld Courthouse, Aug. 2S. Paul D.

Beattie, cousin of Henry Clay Beattie who is accused of the murder of his young wife, testified late today that the accused told him twenty-four hours after the murder how sorry he was "he had done It." a circumstance relating to the crimo that the witness had hitherto suppressed. Coining as dramatically and as unexpectedly as tho pathetic tale told an hour before by Mrs. R. V. Owen, the mother of the dead woman, as to the domestic Infelicity of her daughter as a.

result of her husband's disease, the brief but thrilling testimony of Paul Beattie creaieu a pwuiam At the coroner's Inquest PaulBeattio was a nervous wreck; today he Is strong and seemingly courageous, and he said he was determined to tea an he knew of the terrible affair. "I hate to testify against my own kin, my own flesh and blood, but the duty I owe to my wife, my cldld, myself and the state forces m6 to do so. "Henry himself said he wanted mo to stick to him but I told him It looked mighty bad. Then Henry suid, I wish to God I hadn't done It. I would not havo done it for a million dollars, but she never loved me and married me only for ray It was late when this stage of the trial was reached and an adjournment was taken until tomorrow when Paul will resume tho stand.

Through the testimony of the mother of the dead woman, the prosecution endeavored to dofino the motive for the crime, a fear that news of the defendant's ailment might reach Henry Clay Beattie and cause a rupture between son and father, upon whom the former was dependent. To reinforce the story, the prosecution put on the stand Mrs. J. E. Binford, the mother of Beulah Binford, "tne girl In tho case," and Henrietta Pitt-man, Beiilah's chum.

Their story brought to tho surfaco four years of acquaintanceship and intimacy of Beattie and the Binford girl of alleged numerous indiscretions, of the birth and death of a child of Beulali Binford when she was 15, and of the naming of the child Henry Clay Binford, and how, just prior to the murder, tho relationship was renewed. Veiled and gowned heavily in black Mrs. Owen of Dover, the mother of the dead woman took the stand. Answorlng the first question, she said her daughter had been un happy with Beattie and had frequent crying spoils. "Did sho show you anything as tne cause for looking sad or having crying spells?" The dofenso objected.

The prosecu tion offered to change and take up anothor line. "Did Beattie ever go' out with his wife alone?" "Not until last night." Tho court here decided to retire to the jury room and discuss certain points concerning the prospective tes timony of Mrs. Owen. At the sug gestion of Mr. Wcndenburg tho witness was allowed to be present.

Mrs. Owen arrived last night from Dover. Her husband accompanied her to tho court room. Her presence was kept a secret until tho witness took the stand. The prisoner was surprised when he recognized the woman.

He first tried not to look in her direction but she spoke so feebly that finally Ills head craned in her direction the same as others. Mrs. Owen is said to have been her daughter's confidant, and to have known of Beattle's relations with Buelah Binford. Resuming the stand she told how she arrived at the Beattie home on May 22 and of the birth of Beattle's child on May 31, and she hinted at the tribulations of her daughter caused by Beattie-'s attentions to Miss Binford. Mrs.

Einford, the girl's mother was called after a couple other witnesses had given unimportant testi mony. Judge Watson advised all the yojn en to leave the court room and ho Insisted that thoy comply -when a few remained. "When did the rolations betwean asked Prosecutpr. Wendenberg. "Four years ago." "How old is Beulah?" "Seventeen." "How lojig did they continue?" "For some time when they were broken off and then resumed." Did the prisoner have anything to do with sending Beulah to school?" I don't know; Father Edwards; the priest, arranged it.

But I think Mr. Beattie did." "Just what?" "Ho paid he tuition for a month." She testified they resumed their re lations after the girl came back. She said her daughter gave birth to a child a year after. She said the child was named Henry Clay Binford. She denied ever receiving a letter from Beattie concerning the child's adop tion.

On cross-examination the witness testified that her daughter was treat ed for illness years aco but said Beattie had nothing to do with It. She said the girl had other men friends at the time. She admitted that nei ther she nor her daughter knew positively that Beattie was the father of the cirl's child. One or two other minor witnesses were called and then Paul Beattie, a cousin of the accused took the stand and told of purchasing a single bar reled shotgun for Henry Clay Beattie Jr. He said he purchased it at a pawnshop the night before the murder and next saw it tho day after the crime at the coroner's office.

He testified that he went to tbe house of "Mrs. Fisher," which was one of the names Beulah Binford was known by, and told her of the crime. She said "i guess Henry Clay Beattie will marry me now." Objection was made to this and the answer was thrown out. Asked when he saw Beattie again. Paul said: "On Thursday nlcht at his house.

I told him things looked mighty black. He said: 'I wish to God I hadn't done It. I wouldn't have done it for a million dollars. I'd like to know how those detectives found out it was number six shot In that "Then he continued, 'I want you to stick by me now. I told him I would tell everything I knew as I owed it to my wife, family and self to do so." Court adjourned at 3:30.

Paul Beat-tie will go on the stand again tomorrow. FATAL DOMESTIC TROUBLES. Bakersfield. Aug. 2S.

So far as Presi dent Taft himself is concerned the tar iff will be the main issue in tho 1912 campaign. While the president will speak on many subjects during- his western trip, it is certain that new tariff rovision will receive most of his attention. Following his speech to the Essex County Republican club at Hamilton on Saturday, the president began to day to prepare other speeches on the tariff. He obtained copies of his veto messages on the wool, free list, and cotton bills and at once set to work upon addresses he expects to deliver later, backing up these vetoes. Mr.

Taft said ho realizes that he must not merely defend himself for having rejected these bills, but that he must attack the democrats and pro gressive republicans who put them through congress. The attack upon the democrats, the president wM make almost anywhere. It la understood that the fight against the progressive re publicans will be confined to their own territory. The president Is to carry the war In tho west into the enemy's camp. The nature of his attack Is pretty clearly defined already.

It will be in substance that the progressives who voted for the tariff board should have been willing to wait for Its report; that tho revision bills the democrats and progressives drew in the special session were "fll considered anJ badly drawn," and that the great industries of tho country should not be put In jeopardy by suph legislation, when re vision, if recommended by a tariff board, might bo expected anyway a few months later. It is probable that the president will promise tariff revision so far as he can brins It about at the next session of congress. It is quite probable that tho progressives will be under the fire of tho president also on the subject of reciprocity with Canada. The president has received word from western congressmen, who know that reciprocity is not popular in some states west of the Mississippi. Watches, Diamonds and Jewelry, Bought, Sold and exchanged.

Especially havo I been deeply impressed and greatly gratified by the great honor which President Taft was pleased to confer upon me in your capital city, Washington. Although I have already bidden farewell officially to your government, your hospitable citizens of Seattle have been so good, so kind, as not to allow me to pass through the city as a private person, that I feel I am still the guest of your people today.

Moreover, I have learned that your government will' be good enough to do me great honor once again, in giving me an escort of a squadron, under Admiral Suth erland, upon my departuro from this port tomorrow morning. "For all these honors, hospitality and friendship. I fall to find which may give adequate expression to my feelings of profound gratitude. I can only say however, that it is my pleasant duty to carry home. with me these evidences of the great good will shown my co.untry-by yonr government and people, and I assurS.
