STATEHOOD BILL SIGNED.
Joint Resolution, However, Eliminate
Recall of Judges.
Wanhlngton, D. C President Taft
signed the joint resolution for the ad
mission as states of the territories of
Arizona and New Mexico at 3:08
o'clock Monday afternoon.
Tho resolution went to the president
after Vice President Sherman had
affixed his signature.
Senator Penrose, Representative
Weeks, of Massachusetts, Jand Barch
field, of Pennsylvania, the delegates
of the two territories, and a number
of citizens from New Mexico and Ari
zona, witnessed the signing of the
document by Mr. Taft. There was
but one resolution, so that the presi
dent used three different pens in order
that some of the relic-hunters might
be satisfied.
When the resolution was laid on his
desk, he looked up at the crowd
around him and said :
"Has anybody read this?"
Nobody answered, and to make cer
tain of it the president read the reso
lution himself.
"Well, gentlemen, it's done," he
said, as he put the last stroke on the
parchment.
The resolution signed by the presi
dent provides that Arizona shall elim
inate the judiciary recall clause in its
constitution.
Old Santa Fe Makes Merry.
Santa Fe, N. M. Immediately upon
receipt of news that President Taft
had signed the statehood resolution,
Miss Madeline Mills, daughter of Gov
ernor Mills, hauled up on the capitol
staff a large flag with 48 stars.
A monster non-partisan statehood
celebration took place at night in the
public plaza, while the city was lit up
with bonfires and a great fire on the
top of Fort Marcy overlooking the
city.
Among the speakers were seven
judges of the supreme court, the gov
ernor and four ex-governors of New
Mexico. Roilgh Rider George W.
Arm i jo presided.
CONVICTS DIE AT WORK.
Construction of Russian Railway Is
Beset With Hardships.
St. Petersburg The Amur railway
line is being constructed under diffi
culties of climate, of soil, and above
all, of labor. Most of the workmen
are convicts. They appear to have
given satisfaction on the central and
western sections, but in other places
the state of things that exists and has
been witnessed by ex-Speaker Gutch
koff is almost incredible.
At Razlony, for example, the work
is directed by the Orloff prison board,
which has no knowledge of the place
or the people, and pins its faith to
drastic measures against the men. If
a convict is disrespectful the officer in
command simply empties his revolver
in the fellow's face. Prisoners who
are obviously ill are taken to work.
M. Gutchkoff saw many such work
men hard at work, although they were
suffering from scurvy in an advanced
degree.
The food is unfit for use. Ihe
prisons in wnicn tne men are con
fined would disgrace any other coun
try. One gang of worken, all of whom
were ill, had to do without any kind
of warm food for eight days. The
doctor reported in another place that
one of the men was dying of hunger.
ZAPATA ATTACKS FEDERALS.
Rebel Leader Accused of Making
False Promise to Surrender.
Mexico City A fight has occurred
between the Federal troops ' under
General Huerta and Jthe followers of
Emiliano Zapata, at Cuatlixco, accord
ing to meager dispatches reaching
this city. Unconditional surrender
was demanded of Zapata by the Fed
eral government. Following an
agreement between Madero and Za
pata, the latter appeared to believe
that 'the Federal demand would be
withdrawn, in view of his promise to
submit to disarmament. He sent a
detachment of his men to oppose the
advance of Huerta. The forces met
late in the afternoon. At the depart
ment of the interior it was asserted
that no agreement had been made
with Zapata and that none would be
made. The opinion was expressed
that he was deceiving Madero with
false promises of surrender.
Model Prison Is Failure.
Pekin There has been a model pris
on in Wuchang, but it has 'turned out
to be far too expensive. It is lighted
throughout with electricity, and the
food given to the prisoners was bet
ter than what they got at home, so
that a great many became permanent
residents. It has been resolved to re
duce the expenditures by a considera
ble sum monthly, to remove electric
ligths and withdraw a number of the
jailers. For food each prisoner will
in future get two bowls of coase rice,
and also will provide his own clothes.
Shark Gorged With Junk.
Lewes, Delaware A curious assort
ment of bric-a-brac is on exhibition
here, all of it found in the stomach of
a man-eating shark, 17 feet m length,
caught at the mouth of Delaware bay
by the crew of lightship No. 69. The
invoice of the shark's interior furnish
ings includes one umbrella, one barrel
stave, a quantity of steel and iron
junk of different kinds and enough oil
cloth to cover the floor of a good-sized
kitchen.
Two Die In $1,000,000 Fire.
Frankfort, Germany The Opel
Sewing Machine and Bicycle factory
at Russelheim was destroyed by fire.
Two persons perished and many were
injured. The loss is more than $1,
