Dear Editor: Go to your book
and scratch out my old address,
Antioch, and put Ada instead.
My school closes April 25th and
then l shall enter the state nor
NAL at Ada.

cess here for the board is trying
to get me to sign a contract for
next term, and two others near
by want me also. 1 hardly know
whether l shall teach in this
part, for l realize my inability,
and want to go to school all I
can next year. The more I
teach the more I realize the
need of good teachers. We are
moulders of character. How
often l ask myself the question
What impression can l make
upon this child for good?" God
demands more of us as teachers
than merely assigning pages
and hearing text book lessons.
1t is far more important to
teach him to love birds and
flowers than to locate the Alps
mountains; and to take care of
his teeth than to diagram a SEN
tence. If this finds space in the
paper / shall write an article
to teachers on the psychology
in teacheing. A. T. Watson.

DID NOT APPEAR IN
COURT; NOW IN JAIL
From Sundays Dsily.)

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Carroll, Of
Jerome, who were legally subpoena
ed as witnesses in the divorce case
of John Waddill VS.. Rosie Waddill
failed to appear in the Superior
Court, at the time ordered, and con-
tempt proceedings followed.
Carroll was raked over the Goals
by Judge Smith for his apathetic
disposition, after having due time
to answer, and an Imprisonment OF
FIVE days in the county Jail was the
penalty. He is now serving that
time. Carroll stated he was indis-
posed, but the nature of his illness
did not appeal favorably to the
court, hence the imposing of the
punishment
Mrs. Carroll had a narrow escape
from joining her husband in the
same quarters, when she was seized
with sudden illness from some I'M
known cause, and taken to Mercy
hospital for medical attention. Her
pulse, according to the statement
made in court by her attorney was
hitting the l20 beat per minute mark
while her temperature was some
what warm, going at the l02 degree
mark.

Superior Court yesterday, w. J..

when she discovered that he had
stolen and brought home in his
pocket the electric incandescent
lamps of the drawing room of a
friends house. He also became
strange in conduct and afflicted with
megalomania, stating his income at
three times its real amount.
In spite of this evidence, there
were several contradictory points of
view in the evidence of the experts.
One OF them promised to cure the
prisoner of the drug habit within a
week. Another expert said that
800 drops of opium would have a
great effect on the whole system,
not to speak of the 800 drops that
Dreyer took at one time. All the
experts set the prisoners mental
capacity down as very weak, but
the court, declaring that the evidence
showed that he was in full possess
ion of his senses at the time of each
theft, sentenced him to three years
The whole story of the case has
caused much discussion of the point
why it was that the man was not
sooner in the hands of the police.
His thefts were facilitated by the
fact that he had in his possession
railway pass available on all the
German railways The origin of this
pass was not explained His arrest
was finally the consequence of his
OWN foolishness. He journeyed to
Meran, in Austria, to offer to the
victim OF one of his thefts some in
that might lead to the
recovery of the stolen property, but
lie told his tale with such obvious
departures from the truth that the
mans suspicious were aroused, and
he police were made acquainted
With the facts.

of the board of control in regard to
the conditions at the Industrial
school, we have only to say that it
was given to us by no other person
than the secretary himself. The gov
ernor is mistaken when he says at
was a confidential report of which
there was no authorized or legiti-
mate copy in existence save the one
in my own possession" We also
demanded a copy of a report made
by the secretary of the board of
control in regard TO conditions at
the prison, but it was not given to
us, and we later demanded a copy
from the governor, but it was re-
fused on the grounds that it was a
private communication. We cannot
see how a report on state institu-
ton made by one state official to an
other state official, at the states ex-
pense, can be private communica
ton.
Your committee desires to say in
closing this report that it has had
no desire to destroy the harmony
that should exist between the execu-
tive and legislative branches of our
state government, but as these mat
tiers came to its attention, it was its
plain duty to present them to the
house, and if possible, to correct
them For that purpose we intro
duced house bill No. IS, known as
the board of control bill, and be-
lieve that the enactment of this
bill as a law will result in a har-
mony of those state officers who
should correlate in every way for
the benefit and welfare OF the peo-
pie of this state.
We do not believe there was any
intent in the purchases nor
in the misfanagement of the state
nor do we question the
motives of any of the members of
the board, but as the attorney gen
eral has we'll said in his letter of in
structions to the board, "a law is a
law, and no board or state officer is
above the law"

WAS CASE OF COLD
FLOODED MURDER
(From Sundays Daily.)

That the man found lead about
three miles from Ash Fork was
murdered in cold blood, about one
month ago, was clearly established
by the examination made of the
corpse by Assistant County Attorney
Morgan, Deputy Sheriff Bartlett, and
the coroner's jury, who visited the
scene on Friday afternoon.
The first information given OF the
tragedy was by Duff Brown and
son, on March p, who reside on the
outskirts OF Ash Fork, they report
ing they had found the dead body
of 4 man among the cedars about
three miles to the southwest of the
rim of a plateau.
The body lay at the foot of a
spreading cedar tree, far from any
road or habitation. The condition
OF the body and the surroundings
indicated that it must have lain their
for three or four weeks. 1t was the
body of a white man, of probably
65 years of age. The face was COW
cred with gray beard, slightly ting
ed with red, seven or eight inches
long. 1t was the body of large
man. six feet in height and broad in
proportion. 1t presented a grew
some sight as it lay on its back,
with the rays of the late afternoon
sun streaming through the foliage of
the cedar
The right side of the head had
been crushed in by a powerful blow
or blows by some blunt instrument,
splintering the skull, brittle from
age, in many pieces, allowing the
blood to flow over the canvas and
blankets beneath the head, and over
the ground. Rats and mice had
completed the work, by completely
eating out the brains and the side of
the face The flesh from the fng-
ers of the left hand was also gnaw-
ed away, leaving the bones raw and
CHASTITY.
1t appeared that the man must
have just completed his temporary
camp for the evening before he was
murdered A remnant of canvas was
tied to the lower branches of the
tree, shutting off the northwest
wind. An ordinary comforter and a
portion of a navajo blanket only
partly unrolled were thrown on the
ground, and the figure lay over al
part of them. A fire had been
built in the shade OF the windbrake
about seven or eight feet from the
foot of the tree Several simple ar
ticles of food were found, some dried
cheese, coffee, a bag of pancake
-four and some salt, all partly I'M
wrapped as if the man were just in
the act of preparing a meal A
sack of Union Leader tobacco lay
on his left side, and to the right
near the middle of his body, cob
pipe was found.
These things, together with the pc
culiar position of the body indicated
that the man was sitting in the
shade of the windbrake with his feet
toward the fire smoking, when the
blow that ended his life was struck.
No weapons were found on the
man, nor was there anything OF
value. A cheap watch was found
in a tin box, together with some
needles, files, some cop
per wire and several sheets of paper.
One letter found in the box indicat-
ed that the mans name might be
James Campbell and came from
Phoenix, a year or more ago. He
was dressed in overal1s and jumper

TRAIN ROBBERS CASE
STARTLES GERMANY

BERLIN, March 22-While Sc
much has been written lately in th'
British and French press about The
drug habit and the evils that ensue
Germany has just been giving the
closest attention to an extraordinary
case of train robberies in which the
accused figured as a remarkable ex-
ample of the victim of drugs.
The man, Dreyer, civil engineer
by profession, has been sentenced &c
three years Imprisonment for rob-
berries committed on expresses in
Germany, after a trial lasting sew
eral days before the criminal court
at Halle At first the case attracted
unusual attention owing to the iden-
tity of the prisoner. He was the
son OF wealthy parents, and up to the
day of his arrest few had any ink
ling that he was not a respectable
and prosperous engineer. He led
an existence that might be said to
be the twentieth century counterpart
of that of Deacon Brodie. Even his
wife was left with suspicion rather
than knowledge, and the neighbors
in Berlin, where he lived with his
wife and children, quite believed
him to be model husband and faith
er.
This feature of the case, however,
was soon obscured, as the interroga-
ton by the judge led the prisoner
to explain how he had become vic
tim of the drug habit. For more
than nine years he had been addict
ed to opium. Asked how he came
by the drug, he answered:
When travelling, | showed a doc
tors prescription, or later, l gave a
false signature myself. always
changed my ostensible address, and
in this way often bought the drug
several times a day, using every
chemists shop l came across. Al
though l asked for the drug several
thousand times, / was refused only
three times. | had to take it at
first because of stomach complaints
but l found had to take more and
more in order to escape the feeling
of depression, and finally drank
direct out of the bottle. As it was
cheaper to get it in large quantities,
l often bought several bottles, and
once I was sold forty-four bottles,
each of 40 grammes. In one year
alone l spent 1915 on opium"
The evidence of Dreyer's wife
showed that she had not understood
the change in her husbands manner
until a doctor notified her that it
was due to abuse of opium. He had
been a nervous subject as a child,
but later was for some time quite
successful in business. Then he i'll
treated her and the children. Her
first suspicious OF dishonesty came

In regard to purchasing without
bids, the governor in his message
to the house says: "And take
pleasure in stating that in the abb
sence of a specific prohibition of law
the practice will be continued, re-
gardless of the interests that may
hold it Objectionable" Inasmuch as
the attorney general of the state has
advised the board of control that
this must no longer be the practice
and has further instructed the audi
tor not to pay any doubtful claims,
but refer them to him for adjudi-
cation, we believe that this prac-
tice will be discontinued.
