DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHELLY
Is ExoNERATED.

The grand jury to which was refer
red the charges preferred against Dis
trict Attorney Shelly, upon which he
was temporarily suspended from Office
by Governor Kibbey, made its report
Tuesday to the effect that the charge
were not substantiated by the Fevi-
denee submitted. The jury made no
accusation against the district attor-
ney for any wilful or corrupt miscon-
duct in Offices
The friends of Mr.. Shelly will be
glad to know that he has received ex-
oneration from the grand jury whose
duty it was to make examination of
the charges preferred
The charges did not allege any cor
rupt act against Shelly, but alleged
neglect of official duty and incompe-
tency. Whether true or not, the re-
ports have been coming frequently
from Tombstone to the effect that
the district attorney was neglecting
the duties of his Office. So far as this
allegation lis concerned we are in
clined to believe that the board of
supervisors were fully warranted in
making complaint, but as stated a few
days ago we do not believe it was the
business Of the board to pass on the
qualification Of the district attorney;
neither do we believe the governor
would have the power to say that a
man holding the necessary legal quail
iications to make him eligible to the
Office of district attorney was incom-
petent to hold that office. Complaint
of neglect of duty or incompetency
may be justly made oftentimes. but
that might not be sufficient grounds
to force man from a public office.
We have known men, or az least one
man, to hold ONCE IN Arizona and I'll
it creditably With a deputy who could
not speak or writes word Of English.
The district attorney Of Cochise
county. we believe. has the ability to
discharge the duties of that office
whenever he desires to devote his tai
ents and energy to them and it is to
be hoped that the events Of the past
week viii be sufficient to show him
the cause of all the criticism and com
plant against him and that during
the remainder Of his term he will be
as Iaborious and unceasing in the per
Torrance OF his public duty as he has
been neglectfuI in the past

One serious trouble about the dis
trict attorneys office in this county
and in other counties in Arizona is the
fact that the salary is too small Co
chise county should have a district
attorney at $4,000 per year with two
assistants At 1920 each-one at Bis
bee and one at Dohgias. Such plan
would secure the best legal talent
at the head of the office and would
provide sufficient help to discharge
every duty of the Office properly.

This result showed so plainly that
the four or five thousand men then at
work in Bisbee were opposed to the
coming Of the Western Federation
with its history of labor troubles
wherever it gained strength in the
past, that it was thought nothing
more would be heard there of the
proposition of federation union.
But such was not 10 be the case;
IL Bisbee could be organized it meant
monthly dues to the amount of $4,000

socialistic spielers who depend on the
hard earned dollars Of the miners to
keep them in idleness and high liy-
ing. In about eight months after the
election on the union question had
been held, Organizers Canon and Raw
lings arrived in Bisbee and gave it
out that they had procured a union
charter and were there to stay and to
unionize the Warren district These
men knew that the sentiment in Bis
bee was strongly opposed to any dis
turbance of existing labor conditions
which were conceded to be better
than at any o1ner district in the west
ern mineral country; they knew that
their coming meant that the open
factory during the entire history of
the camp, must be abandoned, If it
meant anything; they knew that if
the district was TO be dominated by the
union that the men who objected to
becoming members Of this socialistic
labor organization must leave Bisbee,

so many years. or that the two thous-

THE WESTERN
FEDERATION AND BlsREE.

The Western Federation Of Miners
union at Bisbee has declared the
strike of the miners on which was in
augurated last March So far as in
dustrial conditions at Bisbee are con-
cerned this action on the part Of the
federation union viii be without eff
feet, as there are now only a few
members OF the union remaining in
the camp and for several months no
evidence of the strike has been yisi-
BILE.
The strike at Bisbee was without
cause and it never had the sympathy
Of even a majority of the miners be
longing to the union when the strike
was called. Many who obeyed the
strike call left the camp disguised
with the action Of the agitating lead
ers who were in complete control Of
the local lodge. The pretended cause
OF the strike was that the companies
were blacklisting union men, but this
was disproyen when it was demon
strated that majority of the men
working in the mines were union
men. i)HS
When the Western Federation org
anizers first reached Bisbee with the
proposition to organize union OF
that organization In the Warren dis

mines; conditions in Bisbee were con-

hours and other conditions were con-
cerned and union men who had been
forced out Of camps in Idaho and Col
orado because of union troubles, did
not desire to see Bisbee disturbed in
the then prevailing peaceful and pros
porous labor conditions. Finally the
miners themselves concluded to settle
the question of union in Bisbee by
a vote of all the men at work in the
district. The payrolls of the various
companies were secured and used as

Crop Information Solicited.

Agricultural Commissioner Guy B. Tucker has mailed letters of inquiry to every county in the state, solicit ing information regarding the condi- tion of the various crops in Arkansas. His object is to ascertain what dam- age has been inflicted upon the cot ton, corn, wheat and oat crops by the recent heavy rains. It is expected the reports will be complete and will be of much value to the farmers them selves as we'll as to those interested in securing information regarding the probable size of the crops in the state. In his letter of inquiry Commissioner Tucker asks for an estimate of the acreage of each crop, the possible diff ference between the acreage this year and last, how much later the crops are this season than the previous ones were at this time, and the condition of each. Replies to all the inquiries are expected to reach the commission CTS office within the next ten days.

State Capital Notes

Little Rock-The total amount of fees paid into the state treasury by foreign corporations since the Wingo act became a law, is $22,862. Several of the larger corporations, including the railroads and telegraph compan- ies, have so far failed to file their certificates of incorporation, and some of the insurance companies are still without authority to do business in the state. In order that all foreign cor porations which have failed to comply with the law may have time to do so, fifteen days further time will be given them. The governor will issue a sec ond proclamation to that effect, the first extension of fifteen days time having. expired on June 3. This is made necessary because the officers of number of corporations failed to un- derstand the requirements of the law and the papers they sent to the sec retary of state were improperly pre- pared and had to be returned for cor rection. According to statement made by Corporation Clerk E. L. Me Haney, there are at present from 300 to 600 foreign corporations that have not complied with the Wingo act

New Railroad Laws.


 Quite a number of new laws affect ing the railroads, were placed upon the statute books of the state of Arkan- sas by the General Assembly of 1907, great many of which were of local interest, consisting in the main as they do of requiring fast mail trains to stop at various stations, providing extra train service on certain road build ing new depots, etc. There were however, a number of laws of general interest to the public and which have as yet, been given little or no publicity. Among the number is law which makes it misdemean- or for any railroad to obstruct cross ing or public highway more than ten minutes, or failing to entirely clear the crossing or highway within ten min utes, to leave an open space sixty feet wide for traffic. In case of violation a fine of from $5 to s25 may be assess ed. A law which requires all railroads to drain railroad beds when railroads pass within 200 yards of a farmhouse or residence A law to the effect that it is unlawful for any railroad or com mon carrier of any kind to change law full duties and liabilities of the carrier with shippers, whether or not by agree ment, A aw surpressing all drum ming and soliciting for hotels, etc. on trains. This law resulted from the many Hot Springs drummers that were on all trains going into Hot Springs. A law which provides that all rail roads, where two roads connect at | junction, shall maintain a depot and a train cryer who shall annuonce, by calling in the depot, the various trains and tracks upon which said trains will depart. The law also provides that the caller shall call the trains in plenty of time for all passengers waiting in
 the depot to get on the proper train. According to this law station will
 have to be located at every junction
 of two lines, no matter whether there
 is a town there or not, and that a
 train cryer must be maintained at that | station. A law which makes the rail-
 roads liable for all destruction by fire
 to real or personal estate caused by trains or railroads.
