OFFICERS OF PRECINCTS
 TO HOLD OVER

Supreme Court DecldeS Tor Old Justices and Constables. Part of Act 42 Unconstitutional. Must Accept Salaries Fixed by the State Legislature
 Justices of the peace and con- stables who were elected in 1908 will continue to serve till the first of January, 1915. Their success ors will be chosen at the general election of 1914.
 Such is the effect of the deci- sion of the supreme court in the case of w. G. Gilmore. county attorney of Cochise, versus Nor ris c. High, justice of the peace of Bisbee. This decision was handed down Wednesday and ap- plies to all precinct officers in the state the case being a test.
 Through an over sight no pro- vision was made in the enabling act for the election of precinct officers prior to the accession of Arizona to statehood. Under the old territorial law, the justices of the peace and constables held over.
 The first legislature passed Act 42. directing the county super visors to re-district all justice precincts the first Monday in September, and appoint success ors to the officers. who should take office January 1. This was done throughout the state.
 But the old precinct officers re- fused to give up their positions. They held that the law was not constitutional and that they had the right to hold till their sue cessors were elected and quail fled.
 In Bisbee Justice High declined to surrender his office to the successor appointed by the SUD- ervisors, and his was made test case. In Phoenix and elsewhere the old officers have been allowed to hold till the case should be de- cided.
 Justice Henry D. Ross wrote the main opinion handed down by the supreme court. Chief Justice Alfred Franklin concurr- ed directly and Justice D. L. Cunningham wrote special con- curing opinion, giving additional reasons why he does not regard the first section of the act in question as constitutional.
 It is held that the supervisors have no right to restrict precincts whenever changes in population or conditions make it advisable to do so. In directing the super visors to re-district precincts gen. erally on the first Monday in September, the legislators at tempted to usurp that ri g h t. Therefore the old precincts still exist. The officers elected to serve therein were chosen by the people and cannot be removed | by any special act of the legisla- ture.
 Section two of the act pre- scribes that there shall not be more than one justice iii a pre- cinct. It is held that. this sec ton does not become effective till after the next general cleo tion. Therefore, whenever there are two justices. they continue to serve two years more. Phoe- nix is one of the few precincts with two justice courts.
 The section of the act fixing salaries of precinct officers is con- constitutional and immediately | effective. The right of the leg islature to fix salaries is not ques-

The Secret Of the Aerodromon.

The Secret Of the Aerodromone.
The newly made Princess Of Schom-
burg Lithow and her f1ance, Santos,
reached Berlin safely. They flew In
the Hawk to Irkutsk In Asiatic Russia
and from there continued their Jour
ney on the quick aeroline to the Ger.
man capital. They sent the aerodro-
none back to Ciryne.
The Rosiny mansion was ready for
them. Rositta's first action was to
send word to tho Count Won Werden-
stein that she wanted to see him.
When the chancellor came, Rositta
received him alone. It was necessary
for her to explain the situation. The
Count Rosiny was dead. He had been
on board the Tar that Napoleon had
sunk. This freed Rositta, but as a
princess she could not marry a plain
citizen, so she asked the count to
make Mr.. Duprel titled nobleman.
>Roeitta told all she thought necessary,
and they talked for a long time.
Santos was told the plans without
the slightest idea that 1t was a tre-
mendous, far-reaching plot designed to
destroy all the achievements OF the
peace committee. He could see moth
Ing but Rositta, he could think Of moth
ing but their approaching marriage.
The purpose the chancellor and Ro-
sitta had in mind, was to manufacture
and equip number of aerodromones.
