Literary Disiises.

It has been pointed out with some
surprise that the late W. S. Gilbert had
L strong dislike for Jane Austen. but q
correspondent of the New York Even
hg Post reminds US that Mark Twain
had similar antipathy. He said once
that "a library that does not contain
Jane Austen's works is a good library

CHARGED WITH
POISONING HUSBAND
Fowler Woman Is Arrested with
Male Companion in Pueblo.

Rocky Ford people. many of whom
were well acquainted with Clyde
Blanchard of Fowler. are exceeding
lly interested in the arrest on Satur-
day morning of Mrs. Eva Blanchard
and Frank L. Caldwell, who are ac-
cused of poisoning the wonian's hus-
band on Dec. l.
Murder is the charge made in the
Otero county warrant on which they
were arrested. The warrant was
served at the Silver Grill hotel i'll Pu-
eblo by Undersheriff Charles Stewart
of La Junta and Deputy Sheriff Sher-
man IL. Dunn of Fowler, accompan-.
led by Sheriff Fields Nc MILAN and
Undersheriff Warren Hill of Pueblo.
Dunn had been in Pueblo for sever
al days. and it was his report, upon
what he found that led up to the ar
rest, but the case was worked up; 1t
is said, by a detective in the employ
OF the interested insurance compan-
les.
Mrs. Blanchard and Caldwell were
found sound asleep in rooms they oc-
cupied at the Silver Grill, and after
their arrest were rushed to the Pu-
eblo county Jail where they were
kept in the sweat box for several
hours in an attempt to secure fur-
ther evidence.
They were taken to Fowler and ar
raigned upon the charge OF murder
before Justice Edward Devine. Both
entered pleas OF not guilty, and the
hearing was continued until febru-
ary II, at the request OF the defend
ants, who were not represented by
counsel, and TO permit the prosecu-
ton to secure further evidence. Al
ter the hearing the prisoners were
taken by Deputy Sheriff Dunn by
automobile to the county jail at La
Junta.
The death of Clyde Blanchard, hus-
band of the woman accused OF CIV
inc him poison. occurred December
/, and suspicion was aroused at
once when the physician who had
been called in. DIR. G. L. Van Der
Schouw, refused to issue death GER.
tifcate until coroner's inquest had
been held. This forced an investiga-
ton.
Coroner T. b. Wilson was out of
the state at the time and. the matter
was placed in the hands of DIR. Nc
Donald of Fowler. Although the in
uuiry, it is said, was not pushed as
vigorously or thoroughly as it would
have been had Wilson been in charge,
the significant verdict returned was
that Blanchard's death was due to
morphine self-administered or by
persons unknown to this jury.
Later the investigation was taken
up by the companies carrying insur-
ance on Blanchard's life to the
amount of about $1,000 and the out
come was the arrests made Saturday
morning.
After her husbands death Mrs.
Blanchard went to the home OF her
mother, Mrs. II. c. Benedict, who
lives on farm about a mile from
Fowler. and Caldwell went with her.
They did not remain long, and it was
reported that there had been fam
lily quarrel. The widows apparent
willingness to accept Caldwelfs at
tentions increased the suspicious
aroused by Blanchard's sudden death
They were traced to Pueblo after
they left Fowler, and at the Silver
Grill hotel it was learned that they
said they were Mr.. and Mrs. Robbins
lof Denver.

THE RECALL OF JUDGE PHILLIPS.

A recall retition is being circulated in Maricopa county against Judge Phillips. of the Superior Court. The instigators of the petition are mem bers of labor unions of Phcenix and the movement has the unanimous en- dorsement of the Phoenix Trade Council.
 The petition, in brief alleges in competency As an honest. upright judge the petitioners find no fault with him. In the event the recall peti. ton receives sufficient signers to call an election the issue will be a recall of judicial decision rendered by the judge. not that the decision rendered will be reversed by the elec tion. in the event that the movement is successful. but notice will be served on the incoming judge by the recalIers that no more like decisions will be tolerated.
 The deciison which aroused the ire of the labor unions of Phoenix was rendered in the case of Strinker vs Ray Consolidated Copper Co. The de, cision was adverse to strinker and the Trade Council of Phoenix holds that the decision proves that Sndge Phillips $ incompetent and should be removed from office In the event that the decision had been in favor of st-inker it is needless to say there would have been no charge of incom' potency The members of the Phoe' nix Trade Council are prejudiced in favor of Strinker. He is a member of their unions and the sympathy of his fellow workers are with him re- gardless of the law. the facts and the evidence of the case. Because the de. cision Of the court was unsatisfac tory to them they propose to take the law into their own hands. and if they have the power, place judge on the bench who VII decide law suits in their favor when one of their mem bers is an interested party.
 In the event of a recall election ir Maricopa county against Judge Phil lips the voters will be called upon to pass upon his competency. That is big question for the voter to de eide. The average voter is not quail fed to pass upon the correctness oi a legal decision. The tribunals. whies the people have established in thi'

COMMISSION
 GOVERNMENT.

In giving some data as to the spread of the commission form of govern ment for cities. Golfers makes note of the fact that only thirteen states now have no commission-gove-ned cities.
 The question has been agitated, however. in all these states. It is worthy of remark that the obstacles fin the way are either unfriendly leg islatures or rigid constitutional pro visions. In Pennsylvania, for in stance. a number of third class cities have been fighting for four years for the passage of a bill that would al low them to adopt the new plan. About the same situation exists in New York state.
 The list which formerly included only small cities, is rapidly expand ing. Jersey City recently adopted the commission plan and is the fourth city laying a population in excess of 200 Oeo to adopt it. St. Paul and Denver have become commissicn-gov- erned cities this year There are six cities in the list having g population between 100000 and 100000 These are Oakland. Birmingham. Memphis Omaha, Lowell and Spokane. Com mission-government exists in sixteen cities of from 5O.OO9 to 100000 popu- lation and in thirty-one cities be- tween 25.0OO and 50,OOO population. It is to be noted that Golfers list of cities between 100000 and 2Oe OoO does rot include Dayton, which very recently has voted for commission government iu an advanced form.
 The largest city in the South that is under commission rule is New Orleans. There are many other com mission cities in the South, the only states in which there is none being Virginia Georgia and Florida. Jouisi ana has nine commission cities and Alabama has six. Kentucky has two with others getting ready for it. The map is being enlarged so fast as to need revision every few days
 Probably no movement has ove' made greater progress. It will re quire time to try cut the severa forms of commission government that are in operation and to decide which is best. There seems little room fol doubt that the idea is good. Differ ent forms may be adapted to differ ent conditions. There may be ever better forms to come. but commission government as it is now known seems good enough for many Of the mos progressive cities in the country.

country for that purpose, is the su preme Court of the State and the Su- preme Court of the United States. These higher tribunals of justice rave been established to afford dis. appointed litigant d review of his case. Law decisions written by the voters at the polls on election day, laboring under the keat of excitement and prejudice and guided to a great extent by hear-say testimony will only lead to chaos and confusion in the end
 The remedy for MT. strinker and his friends lies in the Supreme Court of the State and not in a recall cleo. ton.
 The recall of Judge Phillips by the voters of Maricopa county will neither alter the decision complained of or prove that it was not sound and based on the law governing.

average sherin of today is utterly in- capable of handling a strike situation. He may be the weak tool Of one orI the other Of the parties to the con troversy. or he may be an ignorant and headstrong man unfitted for theI delicate task oi preserving order and justice at the =ame time without loss of life We are lamentably weak in devices for preventing armed clashes in industrial disputes. A sheriff-s pos SC, composed of irresponsible men hired by either side, as was the arm ored train posse in the Holly Grove affair is palpably an improper one. The sherif is supposed to summon his posse from the body of responsible cit izens. not to swear in hired fighters who are not or may not be, citizens at all
 For private armies there should be promptly substracted the strong arm of legal authority and state of riot more than merely local and tempo rary should quickly pass beyond the control of a sheriff to higher and more powerful authority. And there should be some better and more automatic way of composing differences which lead to riot and contention than by putting down either side by the strong arm of might There is no industrial contest without equity in it which should be recognized. There may Dc equities on both sides Certainly tue equities should not be made second to the shooting abilities of irresponsi- ble armed guards or improperly con s;ituted sherilCs posses, nor even to final military force. without some system of automatic adjustment to Which both parties should be cOEt- Fcl!ed to submit In view of the al most certain wage controversies that V il spring up all over the country as a result Of the democratic assault luTen the protection of industries. the need of some means of adjustment without private war or military sup, pression is imminent.

Banker Says Will
Writing Is False

Additional testimony tending to up
hold the opinion of David n. Carvalho,
a New York handwriting expert, was
introduced in the hearing of the fight
which Mrs, LaRue Mizell is waging
to break the will of her mother, Mrs
Emma G. Lee, which left the $4,000
estate equally to her and her two sis
ters, Mrs. Maud Thompson and Mrs
Claude Stamps.
Henry Pritchett, teller of the TraV-
elcrs Bank. where Mrs. Lee kept her
funds on deposit, testified that he
shared Mr.. Carvalho's opinion that the
signature on the will, which purports
to be that Of Mrs. Lee, is not genu-
inc. He testified that he had seen
many signatures that admittedly are
Mrs. Lees and based his opinion on
a comparison of the genuine sigma
lures and the disputed signature on
the will.
Clinton Henderson, whose wife was
one of the witnesses of the will whi2h
Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Stamps as
sert is genuine, testified that Mrs.
Henderson is completely dominated
by Mrs, Thompson.
