THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
Said to be Open 10 Debate Yet, oes- bite the Saxon Law, Recently
 Enacted.

"Why does the supreme court of Arizona have to pass upon the cleo tion law recently passed by the legislature and signed by the governorW
 This is a question often asked in Douglas, says the Dispatch, yet not answered satisfactorily. The reason, which is the ambiguity of the wording of the bill, was made plain by one of the city's leading at- torneys, A. 0. Lockwood, yester- day
 The law is divided into three sections, any one of which can be cast aside without affecting the other two." said MT. Lockwood" " The chief difficulty in deciding the exact meaning of the law is in connection with the second section.
 The first section provides that an election of presidential electors and a congressman shall be held in November, 1912. The is plain enough to satisfy anyone.
 "The second section follows the exact language of the state consti- tuition, providing for election of state and county officers in the first even numbered year following the admission of Arizona to state hood. This is ambiguous and merely raises point over which contention has been spirited for the last year or more. From the statements of members of the con- stitutional convention, there seems no doubt that 1t was their in- tention when framing the constitu- tion to hold an election this fall. On the other hand, judging by the mere text of the constitution it looks as if 1914 would be the first election. mat however, IS the point the supreme court will have to de- eide.
 "The third section of the election bill provides for election of pre-. cinct officers in November, 1912, It's language is plain and cannot be mistaken. 1 consider it certain that this election will be held.''
 Just when the bill will be submit ted to the supreme court is not known here but it is certain that the course of the legal procedure will be watched with heightened interest from all parts of Arizona

ALONG HEADED TRICK
international Money Orders Raised In Value and Deposited In Banks
 for Collection.

Last Friday a press telegram from Douglas contained the follow ing interesting account of a new dodge uncovered in that city, by which the postal service of the two republics has been worked to per petrate a very ingenious fraud: The telegram reads as follows:
 Douglas, June 29.-A Mexican whose name is not divulged by either the postoffiCe authorities or banks because of detectives being on his trail at present has worked the banks in the cities along the border out of hundreds of dollars, perhaps thousands, through the means of raised international money orders. The trick was dis covered a few days ago by Post master Fred Caldwell of the city, and as a result two orders each for 200 pesos, have been placed in the hands of the postoffice inspectors.
 The Mexican purchased all of his orders through the postoffice in Mazatlan, Sinaloa. In each in- stance the original amount was one peso, in some manner, probably through collision of the clerk in the Mazatlan office, the criminal then obtained possession of the money order advice which is sent to the paying office, showing how much the order was originally drawn for and to whom payable. Both were raised 10 200 pesos. The trap was then set and ready to be sprung.
 The order ralser's next move was to write a letter to various banks iD the border cities, enclosing each a raised order, with the statement that on account of the troubled condition of Mexico he had deter mined to transfer all his funds to the United States. He requested each bank to forward $9950 in United States money to a Nogales bank, keeping fifty cents for ex- change charges. So far the scheme had the appearance of legitimacy. For this reason, it is thought, a number of the banks responded by making the transfer of funds.
 When two orders arrived locally and were presented at the Douglas postofice. Mir. Caldwell looked up the advice. Both the orders and adylces, upon examination, show ed that they had been raised. He therefore refused to cash the orders until he had communicated with the Nogales bank in regard to the matter. The local banks merely held up the orders until he had received reply.
 The answer to the postmaster's inquiry was laconic in extreme. It merely stated that. Almost every bank from El Paso west has remit ted to us. We suppose this is all right"
 Mazatlan was then communicate ea With and the startling intel lgence received that the orders nad been originally drawn for one peso or fifty cents American money iiayestlgation has commenced in MEXICO and in the border cities. It aaS been established beyond doubt 1aat the man obtained hundreds
