Disturbing Reports Reach Governor Hunt From Sheriff Wheeler of
 Cochise Co.
TROOPS ASKED FOR
 TO PATROL BORDER
Recommendation of Sheriff Forwarded by Governor to the Secretary
 of War.

Governor Hunt yesterday recon mended to the war department the sending or one or more troops of cay airy to the border in the vicinity of Douglas, The action was taken at the suggestion of Harry Wheeler, sheriff ot Cochise county who in a long telegram to the governor yester- day told of the horse and mule steal ing depredations of Mexican bandits and a report that they are believed to be invading this state. The sheriff said he was doing all in his power to arrest any such parties but believed the protection of the lives and prop erty of American citizens demanded the assistance of one or more troops Of cavalry.
 The governor answerel Sheriff Wheeler's telegram saying he had for warded his recommendation to Wash ington and asking the sheriff to keep him fully advised The governor also informed the Mexican consul that Arizona would expect his government to restrain his countrymen from in vading Arizona under arms It is un- dcrsto"l there are four troops of cav airy at Fort Huachuca.
 Following is a copy of the telegram sent by the governor 70 the secretary of war:
 Phoenix. AriZ.. Feb 24. 1912. Secretary of War.
 Washington, D. C.
 am advised by the authorities of the Arizona Counties along the MeXi- can border that conditions are be- coming very unsettled and serious trouble is anticipated. Two weeks ago Mexican outlaws stole and took Co Mexico seven horses and three mules from a ranch in Arizona six teen miles west of the town of Doug las. Cochise County. Mexican rurales went in pursuit without results. This morning q band of Mexican outlaws robbed a ranch and shot one Senor Elias, at a point very close to the Arizona line and there is a rumOr. not yet confirmed that the bandits crossed into Arizona. There are also reports of a guerilla organization approach ing Agua Prieta which lies on the Mexican side of the line opposite Douglas. I am apprehensive for the lives and property of Arizona's citi- zens and particularly those of the ranChmen along the border and rec ommend that you order one or more Cavalry troops to patrol the threat ened territory. l trust that there may be no repetition of the outrages suf- fered by the people of Douglas last spring during the battle of Agua Pricta.
 Respectfully yours.
 GEO. w P. HUNT,
 Governor of Arizona.

LOS ANGELES WOMEN LEARN
 THE ROPES.

The registrars office at San Fran cisco and other northern cities reports inability to obtain accurately the height of women voters who apply for registration. It is said that rats and puffs make difference of two and three inches, and these cannot be correctly estimated. Report is that the question of women's ageS-which Wil be eliminated by the going into ef- feet of the new primary law March 24th-does not cause one- half the trouble that measurement occasions
 In Los Angeles there has been small complaint on this score. The women in this city, through their schools of voting, learned to have answers ready for all questions to be pro- pounded to them at registration time IL can be truthfully said that nearly all women knew their exact height long before they were permitted to vote, just as they knew their own weight, to the ounce. Those who did not know were quickly educated in the temporary school of voting.
 Tn short, the Los Angeles women have almost universally prepared them selves for all the requirements of law in the matter of voting. Hence the registrar and his deputies can make d regular matinee of the work of regis tration-LOs Angeles Express.
