Became a Thief to Get
Education.

Globe, Ariz.-Desiring an edu
cation and knowing no other
way in which to secure it, Jose
Romo, a young mexican, delib-
erately stole a watch and So
in order that he might be sent to
the reform school.
When the youth was given a
hearing before the juvenile court
he admitted his crime, and told
the court the true state
of affairs. When he was SEN
fenced to the reform school he
thanked the judge for his kind
ness IN giving him chance to
get an education.
Romo is fifteen years of age
and has nothing OF the bearing
of a criminal.

new REGISTRATION
SEEMS NECESSARY
All Kinds of Trouble Suggested
by Ruling Made by the
Governor.

Tombstone, July THE ques-
tion of the new registration that
is to be ordered at the present
session of the board of supervis-
ors in response to the election
proclamation issued by Cover
nor Sloan, in connection with
the election of the delegates to
to the constitutional convention
promises to raise number OF
questions as we'll as cause cOnsid-
cradle trouble and conflict.
The case for the registration
as issued by the governor pro-
vides that it will only be necess-
airy for those to register whose
names do not appear on the
great register for the year 1908.
This leaves the register open to
all sorts of complications. The
county recorder as the register.
ing officer has no means of know
ing how many Of the old names
on the register are entitle to re-
main there. He has no checlIsen
those who have left the county
since that time and removed to
other parts of the territory or
to other states; he has no means
knowing those who died since
that time, and has no means of
of knowing whether the voting
precinct as given IN the register
OF 1908 is the voting precinct of
the voter of 1910, so that many
who have removed from one
precinct to another would have
to either register, or else swear
their votes in as being residents
of the precinct in which they
wish to vote, for the required
thirty days.
The board will take up this
matter during the present ses-
sion and is willing to call an en-
tire new registration to avoid
the conflicts that will arise, if it
can be done under the call issued
by the governor.
Another draw hack to the par
tial registration is the fact that
many who registered for the wet
and dry election last January
will be under the impression that
it will not be necessary tor them
to register for the coming cleo
ton.
The clearest and most satisfac
tory way is to order an entire
new registration, which will do
away with all the complications.

on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. The
conference lasted until almost midnight
It was generally agreed that immediate
action on canal questions was necessary in
order that the commercial world might be
able to make plans for the future. 1t was
suggested that by having definite under
standing as TO the tolls and the trade ques-
tions involved an active trade would be as
sured for the canal almost from the day of
the opening.
Finding concurrence in his opinion that
expeditions legislation is necessary, Presi-
dent Taft is said to have concerned him

tons If the latter subject entered into
the discussion at all ii IS believed 10 have

The general opinion at the conference 1t
was said. favored Legislation empowering
the President to fix tolls within certain
limits, taking into consideration distance,
tonnage and cargo.
The question OF whether the government
and
whether ii should pass It's war vessels
through the canal free. and its coastwisa
ships. and possibly all it's merchant vessels
at a lower rate than those of foreign coun-
tries, was discussed at length by the con-
ferrees. and tentative plans we're made for

points II was argued by some of those
, present that the United States might not
possess the legal right 10 discriminate IN
favor of its own vessels.

ton between the Eastern and Western sea-
boards through possible amendments Of the
interstate commerce laws prohibiting rail-
reads to own or control ships in the canal
