PULLMAN ORDER IS NOW IN PREPARATION BY THE COMMISSION
A. H. Gardner of Tombstone, Receives Promise that Unless Matter is Taken to Court, Pullman Will Soon Be In Effect.
A. H. Gardner of Tombstone, while in Phoenix on aSaturday called on the corporation commission of the state of Arizona and received the promise that an order was in preparation which would assure the people of Cochise county a through Pullman, to and from Phoenix. Mr. Gardner received the statement from Commissioner Cole that the order would go into effect very quickly unless it was taken into court.
The necessity for through Pullman service between Southern Cochise county points and Phoenix has been apparent for months. Many efforts have been made to secure the order. Through Mr. Gardner's and other prominent people's efforts, from this region of the state, it would seem that the long deferred action is about to be taken.
It was learned in Phoenix by the Tombstone man that the Willcox Chamber of Commerce had sent in a petition, signed by a number of residents in that little town, protesting against the establishment of the service. It is understood that the names of fthe signers of this petition will be made public.
Mr. Gardner is elated over his conference with the commission and over the promise that the order will be issued. The establishment of through service will mean much to the traveling public of Tombstone, Bisbee, Douglas and other towns south of Tucson along the line of the Southwestern.
# Bisbee Daily Review/1917/04/03/U. S. Armed Steamer Aztec Sunk Off France By German U-Boat

U. S. ARMED STEAMER AZTEC SUNK OFF FRANCE BY GERMAN U-BOAT; MANY AMERICAN SAILORS MISSING
NEW YORK, April 2.—The steamship Aztec, first armed American merchant vessel to sail from a port on this side of the Atlantic, was sunk last night by a German submarine off an island near Brest, France. The cable message from the American consul at Brest to her owners, the Oriental Navigation Company, gave no indication as to the fate of her crew. An Associated Press dispatch from Paris said, however, that while some of the men aboard the Aztec were rescued, a number of them were missing and probably had perished.
The Aztec, under command of Captain Walter O'Brien, was manned by a crew of seventeen, including the captain, were American citizens.
The Aztec's owners believe she had no chance to fight because she was sunk at 9:15 p. m. in a heavy sea. The vessel was armed with two 5-inch guns, one forward and one aft, manned by naval gunners, under command of a warrant officer.
The Aztec, a slow moving freighter of 3277 gross tonnage, steamed from New York for Havre March 18 with a full cargo of food stuff and general supplies valued at more than $500,000. She was due at Havre tomorrow and probably was less than 100 miles from that port when torpedoed.
PARIS. April 2.—French patrol picked up 19 of the crew of the Aztec. Twenty-eight men are reported missing.
​ WASHINGTON, April 2.—French adfiralty dispatches to the French embassy here tonight announcing the sinking without warning of the first armed American merchant ship, the freighter Aztec, by a German submarine, said apparently Lieut. Fuller. Gresham and 12 American bluejackets constituting the armed guard of the vessel, had been saved, but all 12 firemen were reported missing.
The guard with the captain and three other members of the crew in the second boat to put off apparently were picked up by the French patrol boat Sirrius after three hours. Eleven men are thought to have been drowned when the first boat to put off was smashed. The third boat, containing the second officer and 18 men, is not directly accounted for, but the fact that only 11 are reported missing, leads to the belief that it must have been picked up.
The admiralty report said the Aztec, bound from New York to Havre was torpedoed without warning yesterday off Ouessant. The torpedo struck squarely amidships, emitting a powerful gas and putting the wireless out of commission.
Officials said the disaster would not affect the policy of arming ships, which will be continued in the most efficient manner possible. Secretary Daniels declined to make public the list of naval officers and gunners who manned the two five-inch guns placed fore and aft on the Aztec.
"Until the survivors are listed and the department is officially advised concerning those whose lives may be lost," he said. "I will not announce the naval personnel of the Aztec."

Mattress Hacked to Pieces, $300 In Bills Saved
A burning mattress in a house on Youngblood hill, occupied by Alec Thomas, yesterday morning created so much smoke that the fire department shattered all existing speed records in getting to the fire. The mattress was dragged outside, soused with water and torn to pieces. After the firemen had returned to their stations, Thomas looked carefully through the mattress and recovered $300 in bills which he had hid for safe keeping. He rushed down to the fire station with a grin several inches in diameter on is face.

# Bisbee Daily Review/1917/04/03/Pacific Coast Baseball Season To Open Today

PACIFIC COAST BASEBALL SEASON TO OPEN TODAY
Concensus of Opinion Leans Toward Los Angeles Team As Possible Winners, With Chance At The Helm.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—The official opening of the 1917 season for the Pacific Coast Baseball league is set for tomorrow. In this city, at Los Angeles, and at Salt Lake City, where the opening contests will be held, preparations have been made for parades, and various ceremonials attending the pitching of the first ball over home plate.
The Vernon Tigers will connest the first game here against the San Francisco Seals while Portland will line up against the Salt Lakers, and Oakland will take on the Los Angelans. The Seals and the Tigers will be the first teams to play in the new Recreation park which has been in course of construction here during the winter. An up-to-date and commodious grand stand has been put up and the playing field considerably enlarged.
The managers of the six teams profess to be satisfied with the outlook for their respective clubs which have finished thei rpreliminary training at various "camps." Without exception, they say, their organizations are much stronger than they were last year and a better showing is anticipated on all sides.
The form displayed by the Pacific leaguers in the pre-season's practice games has been more or less erratic and, as is usually the case, the teams are not expected to settle down to form until they become warmed up to the regular schedule.
The concensus of opinion leans largely towards the Los Angeles team, winners of last year's pennant, as being the "team to beat" again this season for the title. Manager Chance of the Angels has a well balanced organization which compares favorably with his 1916 club and it has shown up well in their preliminary workouts.
Manager McCredie of the Portland team believes thmat his club is much stronger than it was last year and if his pitchers are able to hold up their end, declares that he has nothing to worry about so far as the remainder of his aggregation is concerned.
Early season changes and shifts are looked for to a greater or less extent on all the teams as the men are tried out.
BERNE, via Paris, April 2. (9:40 p. m.)—German and Austrian newspapers reaching Switzerland today and telegraphic reports from Hungary are once more filled with peace ideas.

SENATE VIEWS
WASINGTON, April 2.—Some of the comment of senators on the President's address follow:
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Nebraska—"The President's address presents a masterly review of recent events which have combined to force war upon the United States. I have been opposed to war and have done what I could to avert it. War is now inevitable and the only question is whether the country will go into it strongly or divided and crippled. Under these circumstances I must stand for strength and unity."
Senator Lodge, Republican, Massachusetts—"I will tell you what I told the President when he concluded his address, and that is I thought he was fully in the right of the great argument."
Senator Brandegee, Republican, Connecticut—"It was a magnificent address. The people will endorse it and I will do everything I can to back it up."
Senator Saulsbury, Democrat, Delaware, president pro tempore of the senate—"The President's address was right in line with my own feeling and belief."
Senator Smoot, Republican floor leader—"It was very clearly put—a splendid business. There was no doubt what the President had in mond. It will meet with the approval of the American people."
Senator Chamberlain, Democrat, Oregon, chairman of the military committee—"It was a magnificent address. It was forceful and to the point, and in my opinion, expresses the feeling of the great masses of the American people."
None of the twelve senators who opposed the armed neutrality bill in the last congress had any comment to make.

From volume 11 of the work.
Philologist, born at Avenay, Marne, France, 25 March, 1800; died 13 Feb., 1881. Having finished his classical studies at Reims, he was sent by his father to Paris to study law, but devoted most of his time to literature. In 1824 he published "Apologie de l'Ecole Romantique", in which he advocated the imitation of Byron and the study of medieval art. Besides contributing articles to various literary reviews, he translated Byron's complete works (13 vols., Paris, 1827-32). In 1828 he obtained a clerkship in the manuscript department of the King's Library (now known as the Bibliothèque Nationale), and was afterwards promoted to the rank of assistant librarian. He took advantage of his position to pursue his research work on medieval literature, and publish a few old epics, "Berte aux Grans Piés" (Paris, 1831), "Garin le Loherain" (1835), and a collection of popular songs under the title of "Romancero Français" (Paris, 1833). He then turned to historical writings, publishing in 1833 "Mémoire sur la Relation Originale des Voyages de Marco Polo", and from 1836 to 1840, the "Grandes Chroniques de Saint Denis". His most important work as a librarian, was his book on "Les Manuscrits Français de la Bibliothèque du Roi"(Paris, 1836-48), which is not a mere catalogue, but a lengthy dissertation on the authors and contents of the Manuscripts.
In recognition of his achievements, he was elected to the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-lettres in 1837 and soon after was made a member of the committee entrusted with the task of continuing the "Histoire littéraire de la France", a most valuable publication, begun in the eighteenth century by the Benedictines. In 1853 a chair of medieval literature was created for him in the Collège de France, and for nineteen years he lectured in a most scholarly manner on the origins of the French language, the old French epics or "Chansons de Geste", the novels of the Round Table, and the early French theatre. Medieval literature appealed to him, because he found in it a naive but strong expression of his religious faith. Busy as he was with the preparation of his lectures, he found time to publish, with dissertations and annotations, such works as "Historiettes de Tallemand des Réaux" (9 vols., Paris, 1860), "Aventures de Maître Renart et d'Ysengrin" (Paris, 1861), "Recueil complet des Poèmes de St-Pavin" (1861), "Romans de la Table Ronde" (1868-77), "Le Livre du Voir Dit", by Guillaume de Machault (1867). He resigned his chair in the Collège de France in 1872.

​Alfonso de Zamora, a converted Spanish Rabbi, baptized 1506; d. 1531. He revised the Hebrew text for Ximenes's Polyglot Bible, translated the Chaldee paraphrase in it, and added the sixth volume. He published also a work called "Introductiones Hebraicæ" (Alcala, 1526).

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Alfonso de Valdés

From volume 15 of the work.
Spanish Humanist and chancellor of the Emperor Charles V, born at Cuenca in Castile about 1500; died at Vienna in October, 1532. His talents gave him early advancement and he accompanied Charles V in 1520 on the journey from Spain to the coronation at Aachen, and in 1521 to the Diet of Worms. From 1522 he was a secretary of the imperial chancellery and as secretary wrote a number of important state papers: in 1525, he drew up the report of the battle of Pavia; in 1526 the energetic, graphic, and at times deliberately sarcastic state paper addressed to Pope Clement VII, in which the faithlessness of the pope is stigmatized, and an appeal is made for the convoking of an Ecumenical Council. After the capture and pillage of Rome in 1527, Valdés wrote the dialogue "Lactantius" in which he violently attacked the pope as a disturber of the public peace, an instigator of war, and a perfidious deceiver, declared the fate of Rome the judgment of God, and called the States of the Church the worst governed dominion in the world. The dialogue was printed in 1529 and was widely read. The papal nuncio at Madrid, Baldassare Castiglione, brought an accusation before the Inquisition, but the trial amounted to nothing because Charles V took his servant under his protection, while the grand inquisitor also declared that it was not heretical to speak against the morals of the pope and the priests. Consequently it was decided that the dialogue was not calumnious. Valdés was full of enthusiasm for the ideas of Erasmus of Rotterdam and sought to gain currency for them in Spain. In 1529 he accompanied the emperor to Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. At the Diet held at Augsburg in 1530 he was an influential negotiator with Melanchthon and the Protestants, and met them in a pacific and conciliatory spirit; yet it cannot be said that he shared their views or showed that he understood Luther's motives; his point of view was solely that of a statesman. In October, 1531, he wrote from Brussels the letter of congratulation to the Catholic of Switzerland after the victory over Zwingli. He was the brother of Juan Valdés, the heretical movement in Naples, many of whose followers became apostates.

From volume 1 of the work.
​Alfonso of Burgos, b. of a noble family, in the city of that name; d. at Palencia, 8 December, 1489. He was conspicuous for learning before his entrance into the Dominican order, early in life. His preaching attracted the notice of Ferdinand and Isabella, who selected him as royal confessor. On the recommendation of the latter, Alfonso was appointed to the see of Cordova by Sixtus IV, 30 April, 1477. Remaining there only four years, he was transferred to the Bishopric of Cuenca, and in 1484, or according to Gams (Series Episcoporum, P. 64) in 1486, to Palencia. At the same time he held successively the office of Grand Chaplain of the Court, Counsellor of the Catholic King, and President of the Council of Castile. In the latter capacity he was instrumental in getting pecuniary grants from the crown for Columbus. During the years 1487 and 1488 he obtained eight thousand pounds at various times for the fitting out of a fleet. In the absence of the king he exercised his right as President of the Council in giving orders for a payment of three thousand pounds to the discoverer. These duties did not hinder him from repairing many dilapidated churches of his diocese. He built, out of his own revenues, the Dominican convent of St. Vincent Ferrer at Palencia, in 1486. He takes a high rank in the history of Spanish education for completing the Collegium Sancti Gregorii at Valladolid, begun by King Alfonso the Wise (1252–84). Posterity justly calls him the founder of this famous college of his order.

The Institute of the Sisters of St. Joseph, owe to him their organization, and formation as a teaching body. Besides "Synodal Decrees", and a summary of the "Clerical Conference", he edited the "Pastoral Letters" of the bishops of the diocese, in nine volumes. He declined the See of St. Hyacinth on the plea of his enfeebled health, until he received from Pope Pius X a peremptory order to accept. He was consecrated 15 February, 1906.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Alfonso Muzzarelli

From volume 10 of the work.
A learned Italian Jesuit, b. 22 August, 1749, at Ferrara; d. 25 May, 1813, at Paris. He entered the Jesuit novitiate on 20 October, 1768, and taught grammar at Bologna and Imola. After the suppression of the order in 1773 he received a benefice at Ferrara and, somewhat later, was made director of the Collegio dei Nobili at Parma. Pius VII summoned him to Rome, and appointed him theologian of the Poenitentiaria. When Pius VII was exiled in 1809, Muzzarelli was also obliged to leave Rome and was transported to Paris, where he spent his remaining life at the convent of the Dames de Saint-Michel. He wrote numerous theological, philosophical and ascetical works. His chief production is a collection of philosophico-theological treatises published repeatedly under the title "Il buon uso della Logica in materia di Religione" (6 vols., Foligno, 1787-9), with additions by the author (10 vols., Rome, 1807; 11 vols. Florence, 1821-3). The collection contains sketches on the theological questions on the day such as - abuses in the Church, the temporal power of the pope, religious toleration, ecclesiastical immunity, riches of the Church and its clergy, primacy and infallibility of the pope, auricular confession, religious orders, indulgences, Gregory VII, moral liberty, etc. This collection of treatises, with the exception of the last five, was translated into Latin by Zeldmayer de Buzitha ("Bonus usus logiae in materia religionis", Kaschau, 1818-7). A French translation, containing 42 treatises, was published at Brussels in 1837. Two other important productions of Muzzarelli are. "L'Emilio disingannato" (4 vols., Siena, 1782-3) and "Confutasione del contratto sociale di Gian Jacopo Rousseau" (2 vols., Foligno, 1794) - the former is a refutation of Rousseau's "Emile", the Iatter of his "Contrat social". The most popular of Muzzarelli's many ascetical works is "Il mese di Maria o sia di Maggio" (Ferrara, 1785) of which about 100 editions have been issued (new ed., Bologna, 1901). It has been translated into English "The Month of Mary or the Month of May", London, 1848, 187), Spanish ("Las Vegas", New Mexico, 1887, 1888); Portuguese (Oporto, 1890); French (Paris, 1881, and often previously); Arabian (4 ed., Beyrouth, 1872); and adapted to the German (Mainz, 1883). Another little work that has been translated into English is: "Il buon uso delle vacanze" (Parma, 1798). Its English title is: "A Method of spending the Vacation profitably. Addressed to the Youth who frequent the Schools of the Society of Jesus" (London and Dublin, 1848).

# Bohemian Poems, Ancient and Modern/The May-tree

THE MAY-TREE.
A MAY-TREE fair at Whitsuntide Was brought me by my lover, It was the fairest pine he could In all the grove discover.
E’en as a fish’s eye the moon Doth in my chamber shine, I see him from the window, and His feelings well divine.
He at the window knock’d, and ‘Grant, O grant one kiss!’ he cried, But like a little mouse beneath The coverlet I hide.
Right eye above the coverlet Seems fast asleep to be, Left eye beneath the coverlet Laughs at him merrily.
He calls again; not so the stag Thirsts for the cooling tide, Not so the bee that longing seeks For honey far and wide.
But in my chamber ’twas as still, As though a grave it were, Only the beating of my heart Betray’d that I was there.
Long time he knocked, long time he call’d, At length the suer went, His lovely voice though conquer’d me, And to the window sent.
A little bit I raise it up, I think that he is fled— He catches me, he kisses me, Until my neck is red.
# Bohemian Poems, Ancient and Modern/The Patriot's Lament

THE PATRIOT’S LAMENT.
MOUNTAIN, mountain, thou art high! Hear’st thou not our wailing cry? See’st thou not the streams that glow From the eyes of patriots flow?
Wherefore shines the sun on thee, That thy top doth glitter free, And thy meadows ev’ry May To our sorrow blossom gay?
Hear how sounds Vltava’s shore! Hear the distant thunders roar! ’Tis our lips in whispers low Cursing thee for evermoe.
Doth the true Czech thee espy, Terror-struck he draweth nigh, Anguish dire his bosom fires, That he sleeps not with his sires.
Cursed mountain, mountain white! Upon thee was crush’d our might; What in thee lies cover’d o’er Ages cannot back restore.
When the glorious times were set, Men must needs the tombs forget; Where their fathers’ blood was spilt, There the lads a church have built.
Storm, why shatter’st thou it not? Tempest, why destroy’st it not? Nation, why in glorious war Driv’st thou not thy shame afar?
But in vain our calls resound, Still the mountain sleepeth sound, Firm the church abideth there, And from tempests nought doth fear.
Mountain, mountain, thou art high! See’st thou life and vengeance nigh? When thy church in ruins lies, Slawa from her grave shall rise.
