Hunts Speech Short

Governor Hunts address was short
and succinct and while breathing the
spirit of progressive" democracy, re
ferred only to two things in the pros
pective legislative program.
The first state legislature, the gov
ernor declared, must replace in the
constitution the provision for recall Of
judges, and an anti-lobbyist measure.
His address, in part was as follows;
''Mr. Justice and fellow citizens: In
the name of the sovereign people Of
Arizona, who gave it and who have
at once the right and the power to
take it away, accept the responsible
ity conferred upon me.
Il accept it with a clear conception
of it's immensity but with perfect faith
that out of determination to serve
faithfully will come compensation for
all personal shortcomings and of an
honest desire to reflect the peoples
will, successful and beneficial ad-
ministration.
"As my administration, SO far as
my conduct can insure it will be pro
gressive, so will it be democratic
not in the narrow partisan sense, but
in the Jeffersonian sense, denoting
equality, simplicity, unostentation and
economy. The office of the governor
will be open every working hour, every
working day in the year and many
hours beside. My administration will
be a business administration in the
sense that government is business, and
to be successful must be prudently
systematically, energetically and econ
omically conducted.
while shall endeavor to gain soms
distinction for my administration as 9
business administration, it shall mo-
be a dollar administration. The dollal
will not be placed above manhood
nor wealth above humanity. I would
if possible, avoid the laying Of {
charge against me of being dreamet
or visionary, but neither the fear o
: that nor the dread of an accusation

Indianapolis, Feb 14.-By what was
said to be the most sweeping federal
action of it's kind ever undertaken,
the United States government today
within few hours arrested major
ity OF the "a men indicted for alleged
completely in nationwide dynamite
conspiracy alleged to have been in
operation for six years.
At their head was Frank M. Ryan,
president of the international Associa.
tion of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, Many other officers, includ-
ing Herbert s., Hockin, second vice
president, and successor, as the unions
ecretary-treasurer, to ]. J. McNama-
ra, the convicted dynamiter were ar
rested in Indianapolis.
Reports from all over the country
also showed that five of the seven
iron workers executive board mem
bers and a half dozen or more men,
bers were taken into custody.
These officials and their co.defend-
ants are charged with violation of the
federal statutes regulating interstate
shipment of explosives, which resulted
from the activities of the McNamaras
and McManigal "dynamiting crew
who carried dynamite and nitrogiycer-
inc about the country on passenger
trains.
All the defendants are charged with
conspiracy to further the series Of 100
explosions which were directed by Ia
Dor union officials against iron and
steel contractors and employers ol
non-union labor. The explosions caus-
ed the destruction of bridges, viaducts
and buildings and the wreclxing of the
Los Angeles Times building was an
incident of the series.
Before noon SO arrests had been
made. The most important move by
the defendants on their arrest was to
procure bond for their appearance
March 70. In some instances the bond
was fixed at $4,000 and in the aggre-
gate the bonds required. it was said,
would exceed 100000. Ryan and
Hockin each gave $4,000 bond and
were released. John T. Butler of Buff
falo. N. Y, first vice president of the
iron workers, arrested here, also was
released on bond On advice of coun-
sci. Ryan, Hoclxin and Butler declined
to make a statement until they had
an opportunity to confer. ~
'Mr. Ryan who is 81 years old is
under a severe nervous strain and
in no condition to talk Of his arrest,
said Newton M. Harding, attorney for
the iron workers. "This is the crisis
of his life. When he becomes calmer
1 may permit him to issue a formal
statement"
OF the arrests, the following were
made public:

turning from the opera

between them taking each by
the arm. They were not alarm
ed at first as Mrs. Vivion
thought her son, who had been
at the opera house, had caught
up with them. The man had a
knife in one hand, and as soon
as the ladies were aware that it
was a stranger, he cautioned
them in low tone to make no
outcry or he would kill them
both. He led them as far as
the northwest corner of Lexing-
ton College where Mrs. Kenney
with considerable effort, told
the stranger that she could go
no further. Almost at this
very moment Mr.. Withrow Of
Lexington College came to one
of the lighted windows, and an
automobile passed. The two
circumstance frightened the as
sailant. He released them
and began to back away con
tinuing his threats Of killing
them if they made an outcry
The ladies frightened quit'
speechless then made their wa!
to the college where they CAV
the alarm. Officers were i'm
%mediately notified and a searcl
commenced for the stranger. Il
had made good his escape, how
ever, as no trace of him coul'
be found.

Eggs Within an Egg.

Luther McGowan brought to
this office Wednesday some
hing unusual in the way Of q
hens egg. The egg is The size
of large goose egg and inside
of the shell is another perfectly
formed egg, shell and all. Mr..
MCGOWAN said that the one he
was exhibiting was the sixth
one this hen had laid, and that
two of them had two perfectly
formed eggs within the large
egg. This hen is Buff Or
pington and weighs 912 pounds.
The Orpingtons have long been
known good laying breed,
but this is some better than any
thing they have ever done be-
lore. This hen, no doubt Is a
progressive, and has hit upon
the idea of supplying eggs as
ordered and in secure packages
In other words, if you want,
say, three fresh eggs for break
fast, place your order with Mr.
MCGOWAN, and Miss Orpingtor
will do the rest.

Sidewalks Ordered Down.

all side streets within the cor
porate limits of the city placed
on a grade and then notify the |
property owners to put down
side walks. After thirty days
notice if steps have not been
taken to comply with the order,
contracts will be let by the city
and the cost assessed against
the property.
The city council Should be
commended for this action as
many of the streets are with
out walks OF any kind. The
continuation of the free delivery
service depends upon the con-
struction and maintenance of
proper sidewalks, and if there
is no other way of securing the
walks, the city authorities should
take matters in their own hands
and have them put down at the
earliest possible moment.
Another condition of affairs
is to be regretted, and some
means ought to be discovered
whereby that portion Of Main
street between 18th and 10th
could be paved and a granitoid
walk put down on the north side
along goose pond The post
office building will be COM
pleted sometime this summer and
it will be too bad if a mud hole
has to be endured within a flew
feet Of the front door. The pres
ent administration can win ever
lasting fame by solving this prob
lem and securing this needed i'm
proyement.
Another serious state of at,
fairs exists on North 18th street
THIS street, naturally one Of th'
most beautiful in the city i
without a sewer, the street is il
a horrible condition, and what |
r even worse, a great many of tn
: property owners are satisfied
t with the conditions. This stree
, should have a sewer; the public
health demands that, and every
e one living on the street, whethe
: tenant or property owner, shoul'
S be prevailed upon to connec
/, with the sewer. Then the stree
should be improved. There
4 no denying the fact that thes
: improvements are necessary. Tn
e expenditure, no doubt, woul'
n fall upon some pretty heavily
o but that is the penalty one ha
S to pay for living in a city. "Th
greatest good for the creates
S number" should be the motif TO

r, government and no living MOI
is tai, we dare say, could presen
one single sane argument again'
these Improvements. The publ
health is to be considered, publ
,e convenience also, and if yo
o please, public satisfaction is n
h small matter. The individu'
" must subscribe to that which

t. do not understand that peopI

the two worst foes of municip
