Tear rags about an inch wide, cut a

To keep moths out of upholstered
furniture, sprinkle well with benzine.

RAYMER FOUND
NOT GUILTY.

Abraham Raymer, whom the
state had proved TO be guilty of
the murder of W. K. Donagan,
Was acquitted by jury of twelve
men last Wednesday evening"
jury who had sworn to go by the
law and the evidence. Judge
Creighton ruled that any person
who was IN the mob is guilty of
murder, yet the jury says not
gullty-and yet the people claim
that the cause of mob violence is
the fact that too many criminals
escape and that the law is too
slow. What a farce. Raymer
has several more charges against
hlm-one other for murder. If
SangamOn county cannot find
men brave enough and true
enough too, when they swear a
thing to go by it we are degen'
Grating and the law is a farce,
aud the jury system a travesty.

MODERN WOODMEN
 HOLD CONVENTION

With the only incident out of. the ordinary contesting delegation from Globe, which was compromised by seat ing each of the delegates and allowing the mhalf vote, the Arizona state camp of the Modern Woodmen of Amer ica met in Phoenix, electing state off ccrs, making recommendations and ad journing to meet three years hence in Prescott, which obtained the next con- ventiou without opposition, says the Phoenix Democrat.
 Arthur II. Hargrave and Joe V. Pro chaska both came from Globe, claiming to be the regularly elected delegate. After some little excitement and much discussion of the difficulty, seating both compromise.
 State officers were elected as follows: State consul, Charles Born Jr. of Pres colt; state clerk. D. G. Buck of Tempe: delegate to head camp, Albert D. Leyhe of Phoenix; alternate, Gus T. Molina of Yuma. The head camp convenes in Pe- oria, H., on June Is.
 Recommendations were made to the head camp for the appointment of the following officers: State deputy for Ari. zona, L. B. Busheh of Phoenix; state physician, Dr. l.. D. Dameron of Phoe nix; head consul of the order, Attorney Talbot of Lincoln, Neb., and Head Clerk Hawes of Rock Island, III.
 Reports made show that there were l47,000 new members taken into the order last year, making a grand total in the United States of 970,000. There are about 1000 members in Arizona.

SUNDAY SIGNING MAY INVALIDATE
 WIDOWS BILL
PRESIDENT ATTACHED HIS NAME TO PENSION MEASURE ON
 SABBATH DAY.
Legal Department Preparing an opin- ion-Legislation Is Proposed to End the "Black Cabinet Composed of Wilkes slueths.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Becausc the president signed the widows pension bill on Sunday there are grave fears that it is not valid law. Anyhow, it is being held up at the state depart ment until an opinion is rendered by the legal department of the government. As a bill, the measure was sponsored in the senate by Senator Warner of Mis- souri. Should the law experts decide that the law is invalid, it will then be necessary to have it introduced and again sent to the White House for the presidents signature.
 The widows pension bill increases from the date of its passage, and with. out application by those already on the rolls, the pensions of widows of soldiers of the various wars to SIP q month. It was introduced in the sen ate by Senator Warner, of Missouri, and its passage was urged by practically ev' cry Missouri congressman.
 A pension law is designated as tho act of the date upon which it is signed by the president. Therefore, the wid ows' pension bill became known at tho pension bureau as the "Aet of Apri l9, l9OS." Pension Commissioner War her immediately began preparations tC put the law into effect. He caused tC be printed large bundles of blanks which he sent to the various pension agencies. Later, when the question ot Vandity of the law arose, it became necessary to recall these blanks. | was decided that the law could not b, known as the act of April l9, 1908 because that day fell on Sunday.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-05-10

By rule adopted by the republican majority the legislative day of April IS did not come to an end until 1l:59 0 clock the night of Sunday, April l9 But the president is estopped from setting up that the bill was signed on the legislative day of April IS, be cause the bill itself is dated April l9.
 The "black cabinet is legislated out of existence in the sundry civil appro. priation bill now pending, and little likelihood exists that any effort will be made to save it. There are two sides to the issue involved.
 The term of "black cabinet refers to the large organization of secret ser. vice men presided over by Chief Wilkic, who are supposed to devote themselves wholly to running down counterfeiters and to protecting the person of the used for every conceivable purpose by the Roosevelt administration.
 The house committee on appropria- tions was induced to adopt provision in the sundry civil bill specifically Jim iting the activities of the secret ser vice on the ground that its present uses savor too much of European meth ods of policing The committee was shocked 10 hear that secret service man had been detailed to pry into the affairs of war department official who suspected his wife. Also, individual congressman who had opposed the ad. ministration upon crucial questions, dc. clared that they had reason to believe they had been trailed by emissaries from the "black cabinet.
 On the other hand 1t is being said that the restrictions about to be put upon Chief Wilkie s service will be hailed with delight by the land and tim Der grafters of the west. A special branch of the service was organized to do the work of running down cases of land and timber grating.
 At one time favorite lieutenant un, der Wilkie, l.. c. Wheeler, with head quarters at Denver, headed force of 100 odd men who were solely engaged in this work. The limitation set by the pending measure prohibits the use of secret service men in such a way This would compel this and similar in quisitorial work of the department of justice to be done by agents of the de partmcnt, or by separately organized force, for which no appropriation is made.
