Washington, D. C, Feb. fr Official
Washington is awaiting with no lit
tle interest news of tho result of the
special election In Arizona today to
decide upon the .ratification or rejec
tion of the Constitution framed for
the new state. If the constitution is
adopted 'by the people of Arizona It
will be sent to Washington lmmedt
ately for the approval of the Presi
dent and Congress. That the matte
will be Bubject of some lively de
bates In congress is a foregone con
clusion.
The Constitutional convention of
Arizona met at Phoenix, beginning its
sessions last October. After sixty
one days of spirited debate it ad
opted an instrument designated by
the majority members as the most
progressive ever framed and by, the
minority as the most socialistic.
While either of these views may be
exaggerated there Is no denying the
fact that the. Arizona Constitution
contains more new Ideas and theories
of government than even that of Ok
lahoma and should the state be ad
mitted under it. it will give the op
portunity to test them never before af
forded, p '
Among the distinctive features pro
vided In the Constitution are the ini
tiative and referendum, the recall of
all elective officers, including the ju
diciary ; ' amendment to the consti
tution by a majority vote of the peo
ple upon the Initiative of 15 per cent
of the voters; rigid corporation reg

Joseph Feb. 9 (Special) A whole-
sale murder and suicide occurred on
the Rlnehart ranch six miles from
Joseph this forenoon when W, L.
Winder shot his wife and his sister-in-law,
Mrs. S. D. Rlnehart In a fit of
insane jealousy. Immediately after
having placed his nine-months rold
baby in charge of help he blew his
own brains out. '
The deed was committed on the
Rlnehart ranch where he was em
ployed. His wife was the first one shot ,
and he then turned the weajpon'on v
his sister-in-law, the wifie of the man
who employed him and both were ,
killed almost Instantly. ' -
Cares ' for Ills Baby. 4 '
A nine months' old baby, already
motherless by the rash act of the '
father, was spared. With his gun still
hot he seized the. baby and hurried
to neighbors where without expla
nation he ; placed the baby (n , the
hands of competent care and hurried
back to the Rlnehart ranch.

On his return to the scene of his
bloody slaughter of a few minutes be- .
tore, Winder turned the gun on him- .

dead soon after. Nome beside ( those
he killed and the baby were near
when the' shooting commenced.
Jealousy Blamed, '
' There seems to be no other known
cause than Jealousy. From that stats
the trouble grew to temporary Insan
ity, it is believed, for neighbors who
have been in close , touch with the
Winder and Rlnehart families cannot
ascribe , any cause for the, terrible
deed. The Jealousy theory Is surmised
of course for there Is no clew to the
real cause, at least none have as yet
been divulged. t '::7.
