CONGRESSMAN WILL FAVOR MILITARY
 HIGHWAY :.
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 11th. (SpeciaD

At the weekly meeting of the di- rectors of the Board of Trade last week many things of importance were discussed. H. B. Wilkinson, chairman of the subcommittee of the irrigation congress, reported that his committee had met and had con- sidered the proposition at length After some deliberation they decided to apply to the secretary of the Board of Trade for data and other informa- tion necessary. They also decided to withhold any definite action until after the meeting of the next legis- lature.
 One of the most interesting and at the same time one of the most important measures considered was Congressman Staunton Warburton's s proposed national military highway The object of this highway is to pro- vide good road through every state in the Union and in order to eliminate as much fraction as possible between different communities desiring the highway to build it from state capitol to state capital. The way as sent by the Washington congressman show ing the proposed roads through this country, mapped the road from Aus tin, Texas to Santa Fe, New Mexico and thence by way of Albuquerque, Sprlngervllle and on to Phoenix. The road at Santa Fe would also be joined with a road from Denver From Phoenix the road was proposed to San Diego, Los Angeles, San Fran | cisco, Sacramento and on up the Pa cific seaboard.
 The manner in which the money should be raised for this purpose is by replacing the internal revenue tax of 1879 on tobacco and Itobacco products. By replacing this tax, the consumer would hardly notice

PRECINCT OFFICERS WILL CONTEST
 LAW
A Number Gather in Bisbee Yesterday and Instruct Attorney to Begin
 Legal Battle in Superior Court.

BISBEE-A meeting of twelve pre- cinct officers, from Bisbee, Doulas and other nearby cities, was held yester day in Justice Burdick's office. The meeting was called to discuss what ac- 1tion should be taken relative to the law that declares all precinct offices vacant on Jan. 1.
 The whole matter was thoroughly gone over and it was finally decided that Judge Ross, the attorney for the precinct officers should be instructed tc start proceedings at once to enjoin the board of supervisors of Cochise county from appointing new precinct officers. It was said yesterday that these proceedings would be vigorous ly pushed and would be taken to the superior, and finally ,tc the supreme court, if necessary
 The action taken yesterday is the continuation of a fight against the de claring Of the precinct offices va cant that has been agitated ever since the Jaw was passed. The law, which cha nter No. 42 of the session laws of Arizona was passed by the leg1sla- ture at it's last sitting. It empowered the boards of supervisors to red1strlct the counties and provided that all the precinct offices should be declared vacant on Jan. 1, 1913. There are
  divided about equally between jus, tices of the peace and constables, that would be affected by the law.
 A committee was formed here to take up the matter of enjoining the board of supervisors against carry ing out the provisions of the law on the ground that it was unconstitu tional. This claim is based on the theory that the legislature has not the power to declare the office of a regularly appointed precinct officer vacant. By taking concerted action the committee pointed out, one decis- ion would stand in all the cases and there would not be a lot of suits all based on the same action, to be decided.
 Letters were sent out by Constable c. N. Thomas about ten days ago ask ing that the precinct officers contri- bute one-third of one months salary to a general fund to be used to en- ploy council to fight the law. Many answers have been received to these letters and a sum of money sufficient to employ counsel and fight the law has been raised. In number of the replies, notably those from Maricopa and Nogales, the opinion was express ed that the boards of supervisors had reconsidered their decisions and wouli take no action to declare the offices vacant. For this reason it was

SHOOT UP TOWN.
Negro cavaIrymen Go on Rampage in
 Douglas.

DOUGLAS, December 11-With the intention of shooting up the town, seven negro soldierss of the Ninth cav airy marched down Sixteenth street last night at about II o'clock shoot ing their six shooters promiscuously in the air and shouting, later making their waysto Pirtleville before the off, cers could get to the scene.
 They boarded a street car near the railroad water tank and the officers later found them in a saloon in Pirtle- ville John c. Walden, after showing some fight with an officer who at tempted to take the gun from him, fired one shot in the floor of the sa- loon before the officer could get the gun, but no one was injured.
 Wadon was placed under arrest, and when tried before Judge Speed this morning, sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or spend 50 days in jail. ! None of the other soldiers had guns on them, having apparently, hid them, fearing the arrival of the officers, ,and none were arrested.

thought for a time that it would be unnecessary to bring action in the matter, but later events have decid- ed the comnIitte to bring legal ac. ton.
 We have sufficient funds for the employment of counci1;'' said Con- stable Thomas yesterday. Many of the precinct officers have contributed to the fund and we also have a num- Der of promises of financial assist ance. Through the opinions of many attorneys we are convinced that the law is unconstitutional and we will win our fight.

it and it would mean yearly income into this fund of SS0,O0O,O0e. The roads throughout the country are estimated to cost from Sz0,00O to $25,000 a mile. Some of the high ways, however, would need little or no improvement and consequently the money could be divided in those places where the cost of the road would greatly exceed the average set.
 It is proposed in the bill that the money from this source shall be raised in from four to five years. One and one half per cent of this additional income according to the bill should be given in five yearly insta1lments amounting to about $20,000, to each of the five or six national parks in the country In this manner a road way through every state in the Union could be built without the public feeling the effects of the drain. The Board of Trade directors instructed dorsing the measure. The bill will be introduced in the session which meets during the first part of next month.
 Following the action of the festival dinner the president of the Board of Trade was instructed to appoint a committee of three to act with similar committees of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association and the Real Estate Board on the three day festival which is to be held next spring. The matter of entertaining elect Marshall was also referred to the festival com mittee.

MISSISSIPPI SUPREME
 COURT DISPOSES OF CASES

generals office. through Capt. Frank Johnston, represented the state in the contention that the law and the amendment were both constitutional.
 The supreme court took that view of the case, declaring the law "a con- plete law, not a local or private act, and violates no section of the consti- tution."
 J. B. Burns lost his case against the board of supervisors of Smith county. The county had voted on a proposition to remove the courthouse from Raleigh. but it failed to receive the necessary two- thirds majority, and the board de- clared the election had not carried. The new courthouse was being built in Raleigh near the old structure when firebuge got busy and burned down both buildings Large rewards were of fered for the apprehension of the mis- creants and two or three arrests have been made.
 Five very important eases were set for hearing next Monday, these being injunctions sued out by large land and timber holding corporations to prevent the auditor collecting the 20 cents an acre tax imposed by the last legisla- ture.
 Chief Justice Smith announced that there would be no call of the docket next Monday, the desks of the justices being crowded with work already.

 At very enthusiastic meeting held vesterday at the Chamber of Commerce. hy the chamber land congress committee, Joseph O. Thompson, chairman. plans fer the trip to Mobile were made. Chair nan Thompson is very enthusiastic over the agricultural possibilities of Alabama and states that great work will be done at the Mobile Land Congress in the way of advertising Alabama farm lands and thereby bringing to Alabama settlers from the north, east and west
 "Great opportunities are offered the rorthern and western farmer who now l., snling expensive land" says Mir. Thompson, by selling out and investing his money in the cheaper but just as fertile Alabama lands where he can raise p.ore each crop and more crops each year than anywhere else in the coun- try

FRED 1. BLACKMON
 AT MOUNTAIN CREEK
Address Inmates at Soldiers HOme-ChiltOn Going
 Democratic Tuesday

Mountain Creek. October 29.-(Special.)- This was gala day for the old con- federate veterans here: they were up and ding early in order to have everything ready and in presentable shape for the reception of the campaign speakers. who were announced to visit the place and speak to them concerning the issues up- permost in the Alabama voters mind.
 Politics is the theme most discussed in this section now, and as this county Chilton-is and has been a republican stronghold until the last general election, when it elected democratic local officers, both parties are making strenuous ef- fort to land the plums that are about to be distributed.
 The old veterans vote is the balance of power. and if the weather is good, so the old men can reach the voting place, a careful count and canvass shows that the democrats will win by about 100 to 15O majority. This forecast is made after cinct. made by men who are reliable and trustworthy.
 Congressman Blackmon, the principal speaker TOT lilc udN at the oiu SOlulerS home, arrived on an early train and was met at the depot by Capt. J. NJ. Simpson the eommandant. and several of the old veterans, including Capt. W. J. Bethume MT Blackmon, before the hour for speaking at the auditorium, made a cir cult of the cottages and the hospital buildings in order to shake hands with the old men who were unable to attend the meeting. He chatted pleasantly with all he met and spoke words of encour- agement
 At lo:3o Mir Blackmon was introduced
 by Capt. J. M. Simpson and proceeded immediately to address the audience using strong and forceful argument | dwelling at length on Roosevets actions | while occupying the White House and his recent public utterances as to en-
 couraging negro voters throughout tn, south.

 Judge Anderson states fin his interview that he has his individual idea as .o several much needed reforms not only as to appellate proceedings, but as to the manner of handling eases by this court" though he asserts that he has always felt that legislative aid was es' sential in order to attain the desired re- suits.

 Judge Anaersons statement is on the apparent differences of the justices of the supreme court, and he declares tha' while he agrees with all the members oi the court m retsrence to certain changes trat are needed he is opposed to othet rules that nave been suggested, whether the adoption os them shall be considered popular or unpopular. and "even at the expense of not being termed progress
