On February 14th, Arizona was
formally admitted as the 48th
state. Governor George D. Hunt sent
to newspapers the following state
ment: "Arizona enters upon the
duties and responsibilities of state
hood under the most favorable con
ditions. The natural wealth is un
impaired and unsurpassed and her
people are abundantly equipped by
intellect, education, courage and
patriotism. Their mettle has been
tried by fire and out of the ordeal
they have come unscathed. We greet
the states of the union with the as
surance that no one need fear for
.the future of this latest addition to
the ranks. Arizona will follow the
course she has marked out for her
self of true, consistent and steadfast
progressiveness, and I have no doubt
will prove the wisdom of her policy.
Watch us grow."

A Chicago, 111., dispatch, carried
by the Associated Press follows:
Seven hundred and twenty-five tele
grams sent by T. G. Lee, manager of
Armour & Co.'s beef department and
his assistants in July and August,
1910, to eastern representatives, urg
ing them to obtain higher prices for
dressed meat, were introduced in evi
dence by the government in the pack
ers' trial. The- messages, which were
sent over Armour & Co.'s private
wires, were identified by H. A. Rus
sell, beef sales manager for the com
pany, who was on the witness stand
all day. The government contends
that the telegrams show that the
memorandum cost was used by Ar
mour & Co., as a basis for the sell
ing price and that the eastern repre
sentatives were continuously urged
to obtain this figure for their product.
Failure to obtain the memorandum
cost resulted in the branch house
managers being severely criticised.
In many instances the Chicago, office
threatened to reduce shipments un
less better prices were obtained. The
government declares that by this
system the prices were controlled
and all shipments regulated from the
Chicago office. One of the messages
read to the jury was as follows:
"Chicago, Aug. 8, 1910. Charles
Custer, Philadelphia: Have you for
gotten how to sell beef. Your show
ing this week is something fierce.
Lee."
Another message Tead:
"Chicago, Jan. 15, 1910. Neyer,
Philadelphia: Well, I have to give
it to you for the worst work I ever
have seen since I have been in the
department. What our Washington
houses did last week has never been
equalled by any "Armour house I ever
heard of any place, any time, under
any circumstances. T. G. Lee."
On cross-examination by Attorney
John S. Miller, Russell declared that
he had never received any instruc
tions or suggestions from J. Ogden
Armour, Arthur Meeker or Thomas
J. Connors, in figuring either the
memorandum cost or the request
price sent to branch houses.
He also said he had never received
any figures from Swift & Co., Mor
ris & 'Co., or the National Packing
Co., showing the shipments or sell
ing prices of these companies. Rus
sell was on the stand when court
adjourned.
The Norwegian cabinet has resigned.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Shanghai says: Yuan Shi Kai tele
graphed to Nanking requesting
Huang Sing, the war minister in the
republican cabinet, to dispatch troops
to assist In quelling disturbances in
Manchuria. Yuan Shi Kai also tele
graphed to Dr. Wu Ting- Fang, the
republican minister of justice, and
to Tang Shao Yi, his representative,
urging them to endeavor to securo
the election of Dr. Sun Yat Sen as
president of the republic in his place.
In his dispatch he said:
"I am unable to control the in
volved situation in China, as I am
suffering from impaired health. Now
that the aims of the republicans havo
been attained, I have accomplished
my duty. The post of president of
tho republic, will serve to lead to my
ruin. I ask your kind offices and in
terest with tho people of the coun
try to elect Dr. Sun Yat Son, to whom
credit should bo given. I will wait
here until I am relieved. Then I
will return to my homo and resume
my work as a husbandman."

visional government will bo approved
by the assembly at Nanking on
February 19 after which it will bo

An Associated Press dispatch from
Indianapolis, Ind., follows: The
United States government arrested
almost all of tho fifty-four men in-
in the dynamito conspiracy
It took into custody within
hours practically the entire
staff of the international
association of bridge and structural
ironworkers, including chief officers,
members of the executive board and
about twenty business agents and
former business business agents.
These included Frank M. Ryan, tho
president; John T. Butler, of Buffalo,
N. Y., the first vice president; Her
bert S. Hockin, the second vice presi
dent, and successor of J. J. Mc
Namara as secretary-treasurer, and
each of these men was required to
give $10,000 bond for his appearance
for arraignment here with all the
other defendants on March 12. More
than forty of the men, chiefly labor
union officials, who are charged with
conspiring to destroy by dynamite or
nitroglycerine tho property of em
employers of non-union labor, were
declared under arrest, and it was
declared the apprehension of all the
others would be accomplished within
forty-eight hours. By its action tho
government revealed the identity of
tho men whom it charges with being
accomplices of the McNamaras and
Ortle E. McManigal in the dynamite
plots, embracing almost one hundred
explosions which were begun in
Massachusetts in 1905, which wore
scattered over the country for six
years and which resulted in tho
wrecking of the Los Angeles Times
building and an attempt to blow up
President Taft's special train at
Santa Barbara, Cal., last October.
Fourteen of those indicted are each
required to furnish $10,000 bond
and forty are each required to
furnish $5,000 bond, making an ag
gregate bond required of $34 0,000.
Some of those whom the government
was unable to find were reported to
have disappeared, through fear of
inability to get bond. It was inti
mated that the ironworkers' asso
ciation would furnish security for its
indicted members. Ernest G. "V
Basey, former business agent of the
Indianapolis ironworkers' union and
Edward Clark, former business agent
of tho Cincinnati union, who were
brought here following their arrest
at Cincinnati, were unable to obtain
bail and were taken to jail. When
Clary appealed to Secretary Hockin,
of the ironworkers for aid, Hockin
advised the United States marshal to
inform Clark the international asso
ciation could do nothing for him and
referred him to his local union.
Hockin said it would be Impossible
for the international association to
take on the burden of supplying ball
for many of the men arrested. Im
mediately upon his arrest President
Ryan addressed a statement to union
laborers throughout the country call
ing on them to believe in his inno
cence and in the innocence of his co-
dofendants. United States District
Attorney Charles W. Miller Intimated
that tho federal grand jury which
returned tho Indictments might bo
recalled to resunio Investigation of
tho conspiracy.
