 Neutrality Cases.

held before United States Commis- sioner Allen T. Bird, in the cases mentioned last week wherein three residents of the Orc Blanco region were accused of violation of the neutrality law, in having enlisted in the United States to serve as soldiers in the insurrectionary forces now operating against the Mexican government.
 The accused were Diego Caste lum, Francisco Zazueta, Rafael Quiroz. Beside the three named complaints had been lodged against Ramon A. Vasquez and Carlos Quiroz, and warrants were issued for their arrest, but they were not apprehended.
 In the hearing the United States was represented by Hon. Joseph E. Morrison of Bisbee, United States Attorney for Arizona; and the defendants were represented by 8. F. Noon Esq, and Frank J. Barry Esq.
 During the second day Mir. Nor rison stated that his examination of the evidence against the defen- dant Diego Gastelum had convinced him that the government had no case which would justify asking that he be held, go upon his mo- ton that case was dismissed and the bond given for appearance of the accused was exonerated.
 The first day was devoted to the examination of the evidence against Rafael Quiroz. The first witness called by the prosecution was Da. mian Gastelum, who testified that on the twenty, first of February he went from Nogales out into the Gro BlanCo region, travelling all night and arriving at the Stone House Casa de Piedra)-a ranche house out in that cOuntry-early in the morning of the 22nd. There he saw a band of eleven men, part of them mounted and the others afOOt, all armed, who were about to cross into Mexico to participate In the insurrection now attracting so much attention. He talked with two of the leaders, Pifla and Rivera, who informed him that such was the object of the expedi' ton. In the band, which was JOG yards or more away, he saw and recognized Quiroz with whom ht had been acquainted. He was confident it was Quiroz, whom ht had recognized at the distance stated by looking through a feld glass that Pifia had loaned him he watched the band until they had crossed the line, about three quarters of mile away.

MANUFACTURES IN ARIZONA.
Census Bureaus Summary Concern
 :, Ing the Territory for 1909.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 23, 19l1@A preliminary statement of the general results of the census of manufactures for the territory of Arizona was issued to-day by Gen. sus Director Durand. It consists of a summary comparing the figures for 1904 and 1909 by territory totals, prepared under the direction of MT. William M. Steuart, chief statistician for manufactures, Bu- reau of the Census.
 Steam laundries are given a separate presentation because the Thirteenth Census was the first in which they were canvassed, and therefore there are no statistics for prior censuses with which these totals can be compared.
 The figures are preliminary and subject to such change and correc- tio4 as may be found necessary from further examination of the original reports.
 The Thirteenth Census, like that of 1904, with reference to manufac. lures, differs from the Twelfth Census, in 1900, in that the two later censuses excluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neighborhood industries, and took account only of establishments conducted under the factory sys- tenn. In the last census, also, as in that for 1904, statistics were not collected for factories having a product for the census year of a value less than $500, except that reports were taken by establish ments idle during portion of the year 1909, or which began opera tion during that year, and whose products for such reason were less than $500.
 The world establishment" as used in the Thirteenth Census may mean more than one mill or plant, provided they are owned or con- trolled and operated by a single individual, partnership, corpora tion, or other owner or operator, and are located in the same town or city.
 The reports were taken for the calendar year ending December 3l 1909, wherever the system of book. keeping permitted figures for that period to be secured, but where the fiscal year of an establishment differed from the calendar year a report was obtained for the opera tions of that establishment for its fiscal year falling most largely within the calendar year 1909.
 Industries operated under gov ernmental control are excluded from the census, and therefore the statistics for Arizona do not in clude the extensive cement works operated by the Federal Govern ment in connection with the Roose welt Irrigation Dam.
 THE PER CENTS OF INCREASE.
 The summary for the territory shows a considerable increase a the census of 1909 over that O 1904. Ranking the various item in per cent order of increase they appear as follows:
 Cost of materials used, 130 pc cent; capital invested, 128 per cent number of establishments, 84 pc cent; value of products, 7S pc cent. nnmher of salariedo official
