velt advocated the electio-n of United
States senators by a direct vote of the
people. He also declared the initia-
tive referendum and recall might bo
wise or unwise. He did not attempt
to decide.
"I saw it stated in the press the
other day" said the colonel "that cer-
tain good people in "Washington are
against the admission of Arizona as a
state because it had adopted the re-
call in its constitution. Now under-
stand me I am not arguing for or

Gov. Colquitt makes in his financial
message read before tne house .of rep-
resentatives today. Governor Colquitt
makes it plain that the tax rate will
have to be raised from 4 cents to prob-
ably 10 or 11 cents on $100 valuation

deficiencies left by the former admin-
istration. Liberal Appropriations Needed.
Liberal appropriations are declared
to be necessary as two of the asylums
and the state penitentiary buildings
are badly in need of repair. The esti-
mated deficiencies now in sight and
required by law amount to $991956.
The governor says he believes the
automatic tax law passed at the be-
ginning of the Campbell administra-
tion Is unconstitutional and recom-
mends that the legislature take steps
to repeal the law. This may Involve
uncollected taxes during the past fou.-
years. The governor predicts a defi-
ciency fcf $1000000 by next September
under the present tax rate if the defi-
ciencies from the last legislature and
the requirements made by the present
legislature are approved. He urges
the legislature to return to the con-
stitutional method of fixing the tax
rate in order that appropriations can-
not be utilized for political purposes.
"From present indications" the gov-
ernor says it will require from $5000-
000 to $5500000 to meet requirements
of the appropriation bjl for the next
fiscal year. To this must be added an-
other million to meet unavoidable de
ficiencies.
Border Claim Resolution.
After the reading of the governor's
message in the house this morning it
passed' finally the resolutioy regarding
the claim of ?187'000 of Texas against
the federal goverment for expenses in-
curred by Texas just after the war In
protecting the border from Mexican
marauders. The proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing a special
tax for higher educational institutions
of the state was set for next Friday
by a vote of 90 to 14. Indications
point to the passage of this resolu-
tion by the legislature but it may re-
sult In final defeat of the bill now be-
ing urged for tax for the A. and M.
and university of Texas.
The senate bill extending the time
in which domestic ""corporation's fran-
chise taxes may be paid also the bill

Deeree of German Emperor
Saves Officer From
Dismissal.
Berlin Germany Feb. 22. "He is re-
sponsible only to God and his con-
science. Therefore his deed can be
judged neither by regular nor by hon-
or tribunals."
In these words emperor William in
a cabinet order today overrules the
verdict of the regimental tribunal
which recently found count Hans Von
Pfeil an officer of the German army
guilty of a violation of his military
oath in that he attempted to commit
suicide. The tribunal is authority in
matters of personal conduct not cov-
ered by fixed laws. The judgment
which Is set aside by the emperor
would have meant dismissal from the
army.

The two battleships are to be the
largest ever constructed in this coun-
try and while the authorization fixes

four turrets three guns in each. This

New Japanese Treaty.
The text of a new treaty with Japan
designed to replace that of 1S94 and
drawn with the special design of elim-
inating the restrictions upon immigra-
tion contracted in that treaty was laid
before the senate by president Taft.
The essential difference between the
proposed treaty and the existing con-
vention is said to be that it omits a'l
reference to all such restrictions and
leaves to the national honor of Japan
the enforcement at hor own ports the
limitations upon emigration from Ja-
pan now expressly placed upon immi-
gration into the United States.
The Japanese treaty was ordered fa-
vorably reported to the senate today
by the committee on foreign relations
after the committee had heard a state-
ment from secretary of state Knox.
Secretary Knox told the members oi.
tjfe committee the proposed change af-
fecting immigration would not let down
the bars to unrestricted immigration
of Coolie labor.
I Lodsre to Puih It.
Senator Lodge gave notice to the
senate he would ask for an executive
session at the earliest possible mo- .
ment. It is known he intends to press i
the Japanese treaty for Immediate
consideration and ratification today
if possible.
Increased Appropriation.
The agricultural appropriation bill
reported to the senate carries $16980.-
196 an Increase of $2566S5 over tho
amount of the bill as it was passed by
the house.
Hale "Works a Scheme.
By adroit questioning senator Hale
of Maine who took a leading role in
opposing the Canadian reciprocity
agreement in the hearings given by the
senate committee on finance put into j
the record statements bv witnesses that I
president Taft secretary of state Knox j
ard the American commissioners had
failed to consult any of the interests I
affected by agreement negotiated. The
strongest statement in this regard was
made by representative Gardner of
Massachusetts who appeared in the In-
terest of the Gloucester fisheries.
Federals Fire on Provision
Train as It Is Being
Moved Southward.
WOUNDED NOW IN
NAVARRO S CAMP
The rear of the column under CoL
Jose de la Luz Soto and escort for
Francisco L Madero was engaged late
Fridav afternoon while on the trail at
a point about 30 miles southeast of
Gutdalue. The fighting was no more
than a skirmish according to parttcu-
lars received here by an American who
was cut off from the column and forced
to walk back to the border.
The federals attacking numbered no
more than 100 cavalrymen and prob-
ably constituted a scouting party from
KNavarro's command which had not
then reached Guadalupe or maybe
some of the men from over near Ojl-
naga. The main body of horse under
Capt. G. Garibaldi was far in the lead
of the ammunition and supply wagons

Americans. xThe federals attacked the

Wounded. In Xavnrro'a Camp.
Those wounded In the skirmish with
the American guards of the ammunition
train are believed to number from 20
to 30. How many were killed is not
known. The wounded cavalrvmen have
arrived in Guadalupe where Navarro's
main body is camped. There is a short-
age of medical supplies as well as food
and no physician seems to be In evi-
dence. Some of the ' wounded have
bandages of floVr sacks tied over their
hurts while others are bandaged with
dirty rags.
Deserters Reported.
American residents along the border
near Guadalupe report that many de-
serters from the federal army have
been seen. About 20 uniformed men
have been seen about Clint and they
are believed to be headed for El Paso.
There is a report in Juares that Na-

SOCIALISTIC

Mexicali Max. Feb. 22. Independent
of all other revolutionary movements
of the leaders in Mexico the insurrec
tion here is now centered in a social-
iS' f"S he Ject being the ea-
tablishment of a Utopia in Lower Cal
ifornia which though born' amid the
singing of bullets ultimately is to
know no bloodshed or warfare or men
of money.
This is the assertion made by both
leaders of the insurrectos Leyva and
Berthold. The success of the move-
ment admittedly depends on the re-
sults of the agitation and the support
of socialists and the Industrial Work-
ers of the World.
Leyva denies that he sent a telegram j
to president Taft protesting against
permission being given Mexican fedor-
als to travel over American territory
at Yuma although it was positively
known that he had done so.
Leyva declared he was silent on the
I advice of American friends. Seen of

Fired on the Train.
BLANCO IS NEAR
OLD CASAS GRANDES
The Mexico North Western train from
Pearson and Casas Grandes. the first
since Feb. 5 arrived in Juarez at 6:30
Tuesday evening carrying five coaches
only two of which were occupied.
The train was fired upon by federal
soldiers about 23 miles out of Pearson
and the engine has two bullet marks
in the left jacket of the- boiler as the
result of the volley fired. The train
did not stop and it is believed that the
men who fired upon it suspected that
it was a train carrying insurrectos.
The train left Pearson Monday morn-
ing and was delayed about 14 miles
out by a burned bridge. It was here
that 12 or 14 insurrectos marched
through the train but molested no
one and after being satisfied that
there were' no federals on board they
permitted the bridge to be repaired and
the train to proceed.
