FURTHER PROGRESS
 IN ALEXANDER CASE
Many Witnesses Testified Regarding
 Indian Agents Checks.

More rapid prOgres was made yes
 terday in the trial of the case of the
 government against J. B Alexander,
 former Indian agent at Sacaton. The
 witnesses as the day before were In-
 dianS to whom checks had been issued
 in payment of labor or supplies furn-
 ished the government, it being the con-
 tention of the government that the
 checks had been issued without con-
 siderat tiOn or Tor inadequate consdera-
 tion and that they had been cashed by the defendant for himself the Indians
 having endorsed them. The general
 defense is that in all cases the checks
 were endorsed to the defendant for the
 reason that at that time there were no funds available and he had advanced the money to the Indians.
 The character of the testimony for the government was varied by the ap- pearance on the stand of MT Town send q special agent of the treasury department who testified regarding the appearance Of the checks and vouchers in that department.
 Among the Indian witnesses in the afternoon was Jose Pablo in whose name check had been made out in payment for some cattle. When con- fronted with the check Pablo said that he had not endorsed the check, had never seen it and had delivered no cattle to the agency Counsel for his defense took his signature which will i be presented to the jury along with the signature on the check.
 | But the cross examination brought | out the fact that there was another
 Jose Pablo at BIackwater where the 1 witness lives though the witness stated ! that he had no cattle now or had none ] at the time the check was given, in ! August 1910. At late hour yesterday afternoon a recess was taken until this
 morning.

to provide for the election of pre- cint officers. The constitution hay ing made no provision for the election of such officers; until the first state election; precinct officers will hold until their successors are elected at that time and qualify. It will readily be seen that no change can be made in precinct officers before the next general election.
 Is it possible that the legislature is not at the present time subordinate to the provisions contained in the constitution, viz: ''The term of of flee of every officer elected or ap- pointed under this constitution. or the laws of the territory, shall eN- tend until their successors are elected and shall qualify" Therefore, there can be no question that justices ot the peace and constables will hold their office until the next general election in 1914, and the legislature exceeded it's Jurisdiction when 1t enacted Chap. 42, of the 1912 session laws
Arizona republican., 1912-12-21

cinct officers who may be in office at the time of the admission of the state into the union, shall hold their respective offices until their success sors have qualified; and the official bonds of all such officers shall con- tinue in full orce and effect while such officers remain in office.
 Section 13, of the same title. pro vides: 'The term of every officer to be elected or appointed under the constitution, or the laws of Arizona. shall extend until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify" Quot ing further from the late supreme court decision. precinct offices are in the same situation as the other of fices erected by the constitution They were in office on the date of the admission of the territory into the union. and by virtue of Sec 6, Art. P. they continue in office until their successors have been elected and qualified. No election was had in 1911 for the reason that the enabl- ing act and ordinance No. failed

removal of any judge from office. Therefore, the justices of the peace, being a part of judiciary, they can not be legislated out of their office before their time expires, without being in conflict with Art. P, which reads: All laws of the territory of Arizona now in force not repugnant to this constitution, shall remain in force as laws of the state of Ari- zona until they expire by their own limitation, or are altered or repealed by law. Provided; that wherever the word territory appears in said laws, the word state shall be substituted
 There being no provision made in the constitution for the election of Justices of the peace and constables, it is beyond question that under the ruling of the supreme court of Ari- zona. which says: it cannot be seriously questioned that state, coun- ty and precinct officers must stand for election in 1914"

ANOTHER OPINION
 AS TO PsEC|AC1 OFFICERS

A variety of opinions have been presented regarding the status of the Justices of the peace in those cOun- ties where the supervisors have re- districted counties into precincts, thus creating vacancies to be filled by them. The following is by w B. Fonda of Graham county.
 A considerable difference of opin- tutionality of Chapter 42. first ses- sion laws of the state of Arizona
 This act was renumbered and smothered through the legislature by the members from Cochise. That the act is in conflict with the state con- stitution there can be no doubt. That the intent of the bill was vicious as to certain justices and constables is beyond question This kind of special legislation will not stand, and the late decision of the supreme court of Ari- Zona in the case of the state of Ari- zOna Vs. Osborn, secretary of state. will bear me out in my opinion of the attorney general, which seems to have been set aside by the late su- preme court ruling
 A justice of the peace is a part of the judiciary; if he is not, why does Art ,, See 90. State Constitution. provide: No person shall be pros ecuted criminally in any court of record for felony or misdemeanor, otherwise than by information or in dictment. No person shall be prose cuted for felony by information with out having had preliminary ex- animation before a magistrate, or having waved such preliminary ex- animation"
 This point was settled in the SUI periOr court in the case of the state of Arizona Vs T. D Hooks and others. The county attorney of Gra- ham county insisted this was the law, notwithstanding the constitution pro- Vides otherwise.
 Art 6, Sec. 24, provides: No change made by the legislature in the number of judges shall work the

FRIEND OF THE COURT
 UNEXPECTEDLY APPEARED
Interrupted Friendly Test of Re.
 Referred Game Law.

The case of the state of Arizona against Wood Allen charged with vio- lating the game law. one of the re- ferred laws ratified at the late cleo tion was heard in superior court Nses- terday and the defendant was ad- judged guilty and was given a nom inal fine of SIC
 This was an action brought to test not only the validity of this law but all of the referred laws against which 1t has been urged that they are in valid by reason of the procedure fol- lowed in bringing them before the people.
 The action against Allen was insti- tuted by Senator H. 4. Davis the em- ploYer of the defendant who in pur- suance of the test shot d quail. It was the object of Senator Davis to bring the matter before the supreme court as speedily as possible. so that the legislature in the forthcoming session might take action in the mat ter of all the referred laws in the event that this one should be found to be defective for the same defects would exist as to the others.
 But there was an unexpected in terruption in the person of Attorney StruckmeA CT who appeared as amicus curiae and objected to the course the affair was taking. He offered d mo- tion m arrest of judgment and stated that he would file a brief
 He disapproVed. he said, of a test by such evident collusion as existed and he believed that the supreme court would join in disapproval He characteriZed the proceeding as a farce. Just what course will now he taNen is not definitely known.

Despite the uniformity Of increase the trading was not heavy, and there were no signs of rampant speculation. Un- certainty as to the course of money during the c sing days of the year served as an effective check to active buying. It was expected that a re- turn flow of cash from the interior probably will be recorded in tomor- rows statement. according to today's forecasts. These indicated cash gain of more than seven millions due chiefly to gains from the interior. Berlin renewed it's efforts to borrow over year money here at eight per cent. but no transactions We're dis closed The urgency of the German needs was indicated further by the offers of five and e-haIf per cent for six months money beginning on January 1.
