J J ] GE SUITE 3 UPHOLDS LAW ON
 PRECINCTS
Denies Injunction Asked to Restrain Supervisors From Carrying Out
 New Law Terminating Terms. :.

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Jan. 3-Judge Sutter, of the superior court, today upheld the law providing for the re- diStricting of precincts and the ap- pointing of precinct officers and de- nied the injunction to restrain the board of supervisors from carrying out the law. The injunction was asked for by the precinct officers ot this county. The attorneys for the precinct officers, Messrs. Cleary and Ross, immediately filed notice of ap- peal and the case will be taken to the supreme court. Decision by that body, it is believed, will be made in about one month.
 Board Makes Appointments.
 A meeting of the board of super visors was held following the de- cision of the superior court and the board set about appointing new pre- cinct officers as the new law termin ated the terms of old ones on Jan uary 1.
 From twenty-three judicial precincts the county was cut down to seven In the seven precincts thus made the following officers were appoint ed:
 Bisbee, w. H. Thomas, justice of the peace, J. J. McRea, constable Lowell, George R. Smith, justice of the peace, L. R. Bailey, constable
 Douglas, R. S. Maclay, justice of the peace, Sam Hayhurst, constable.
 Wilcox, J. c. Page, justice of the peace, J. w. Moore, constable.
 Courtland, w. B. Moore, justice of the peace, John Bright, constable.
 Benson, P. E. Madigan, justice of the peace, w. J. Bennett, constable
 Tombstone, Daniel Mcfarland, jus tice of the peace, Samuel Morgan, constable.
 Will Continue Fight. That the fight has just begun was the opinion expressed last night by local precinct officers when the result of the application for an injunction at the superior court in Tombstone became known.
 ''The decision of the superior court does not alter the facts i n the case nor will it in any way stop our fight on the precinct law" said Constable C. N. Thomas last night. Had the decision been in our favor it would still have left the question more or less of an open matter, as the case must be definitely and finally settled by the supreme court. It will be taken to the supreme court and we are confident that that body will grant the injunction and make it last ing. We have received opinions from all over the state that the law is un- constitutional.

SURETY CO MPAN ' HAS BANK OFFICIAL
 ARRESTED
E. L. Taylor Arrested at WinkIemar For Alleged Embezzlement From GiIa Valley Bank 6 Trust
 Company.

GLOBE, Jan. 4.-Word was receiv- ed in this city last night that E. L.. Taylor, formerly of the Gila Valley Bank and Trust Company branch at Winkelman, and at one time connected with the Globe branch, was arrested yesterday in that city on a charge Of embezzlement.
 Taylor is well known in Globe, hay ing lived here for some time during his connection with the Globe branch of the firm. He was released from the services of the branch at Winkelman about two months ago for the reason it is said that his books were not in proper shape.The bank had no desire to press charges against him and it is reported that the Surety Company is the party behind the present proceed ings Should the shortage prove an es- tablished fact as shown by the books, the bank is fully protected by Taylor $ surety bond which he gave at the time he entered the employ of the firm.
 Taylor's bond was yesterday fixed at Winkelman in the sum of $5,000.
 Taylor has many friends in this city who found it difficult to believe the report and are sincerely hoping that his trouble is merely a matter of bookkeeping rather than wrong do ing.

DODGE MAY BE ONE
 IF CABINET
Official of PheIps-Dodee & Company Mentioned for Secretary of Treas
 ury Under Gov. Wilson.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B. Cleveland H. Dodge of Phelps Dodge & Co.,, may become secretary of the treasury in President-elect Wilson's cabinet. MT. Dodge was one of the original boomers of New Jer- nomination. According to the re- ports of expenditures filed at Albany and Washington, MT. Dodge was a liberal contributor to the democratic national committee in the recent con test. MT. Dodge has been known for his wide knowledge of finance and commerce. Little surprise was eX- pressed therefore when it became known that influential democrats be- Iieved MT. Dodge should be secretary of the treasury in President Wilson's cabinet.
 With MT. Dodges name promi- nently mentioned for the post of sec retary of the treasury, the democrats got out their law books and pointed to section 243 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which reads:
 ''No person appointed to the office of secretary of the treasury, of first comptroller, or first auditor, or treas uer or registrar, shall directly or in directly be concerned or interested in carrying on the business of trade or commerce or be owner in whole or in part of any set vessel or pur- chase by himself, or another in trust for him, any public lands or other public property, or be concerned iI the purchase or disposal of any pub lie securities of any state, or of the United States, or take or apply to his own use any emolument or gain for negotiating or transacting any business in the treasury department other than what shall he allowed by law"
 The democrats who discussed this feature concerning the proposed ap- pointment of MT. Dodge to be secre- tary of the treasury declared that he would be compelled to retire from the firm of Phelps-Dodge & Co.,, and even then he might be ineligible. It was recalled that in March, 1869, President Grant appointed Alexander T. Stewart, secretary of the treasury, but Mir Stewards confirmation was prevented by this section of the re- vised statutes which the senate inter preted to exclude from that office ali who are interested in the importa- tion of merchandise. President Grant sent to the senate a message recom- mending that the law be repealed in order that MT. Stewart might become eligible to the office, and MT. Stewart offered to transfer his enormous business to trustees and to devote the entire profits during his term of or flee to charitable purposes, but the law was not repealed as it was be- lieved that MT. Stewards proposed plan would not effectually remove his disabilities.
 The law affecting MT. Dodge and MT. Stewart was passed on Sptember ?, 17S9.

AR|zONA'S FREIGHT RATES MAY BE
 CHEAPER
State Commission and Interstate
 Commission Order Hearings.

Phoenix, Ariz, Jan 5-There is a big shakeup due soon in Arizona among railroad rate makers, that is the rate makers for the roads.
 January 10 the state corporation commission will hear the railroad rep resentatives tell why rates on live stock should not be reduced, and it is expected that this hearing will be a mere formality, because the commits sion has drawn up a reduced schedule which it will order to take effect at al early day.
 Then on January 23 in this city the Interstate Commerce commission will sit here in the person of Examiner Gib son to hear nine cases affecting rates into the state.
 Two of the cases filed by the Ari- Zona Corporation commission, which is interested in them all One is against the Santa Fe and all other railroads in Arizona, the other against the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.
 The only cases that have been filed long enough to be docketed and set for hearing are against the Santa Fe and from Gallup, and against the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe in rgeard to the rate on tin cans from Los Angeles. This latter case is the attempt of the comission to prevent the tin can rate being raised from v 1-2 cents to $1 40.
 All other cases to b heard here January g were filed by private par ties.

PIXIES PEAK NOT THE HIGHEST

What is the highest mountain in Colorado? ''Pikes Peak" nineteen persons out of twenty will answer,and incorrectly. The twentieth may know that the two highest mountains in the State are Mount Massive and Mount E,lbert, both in Lake County, in the Leadville district. The altitude Of each of these mountains according to the United States Geological Survey, is 14,402 feet above sea level. The height of Pikes Peak is 14,10S feet. Moreover, there are fifty or sixty other peaks in Colorado approximately as high-over 14,OOO feet. The lowest point in Colorado is 3,350 feet above sea level. Of all the States Colorado has the highest average altitude, es- timated by the Geological Survey at 6,SO0 feet.
 Although not the highest mountain Pikes Peak is probably the best-known peak in the United States. There was at one time a Weather Bureau station on it's summit, and it now has a sub- stantia1 railway station at the termin- us of the highest railway line in North America. It can also be reached by an excellent wagon road and trail which connect the summit with Color ado Springs.

AMERICANS ESCAPE FROM JUAREz
 PEN|TENT|ARY
Two Escape Who Are Held on Mur- der Charges by Breaking Cell Bars and Filling Steel of Outer
 Windows.

FL PASO, Jan. S. S.-Fugitives from the Juarez il-BeverlyWoods, Ameri- can, murder charge; George F. Mun- roe. American, murder charge; Andres Gales, Francisco Gonzalez, Antonio Hernandez, Jose de la Luz Ramos, Mexicanos, accused of minor offenses
 Two Americans, both charged with murder, and four Mexicans, broke" jail in Juarez Sunday night and have not been captured.
 News of the escape of the prison CTS is admitted by the police.
 Think Woods the Leader.
 Beverly Woods, an American, who is an escaped convict of the Texas state penitentiary where he was serv- ing a term of life imprisonment, having been convicted on charge ot murder, is believed to be the leader of the prisoners who broke jail. The fugitives succeeded in getting out by filing the bars of a window in the prison, after they had broken the bars on their cells.
 Aid from the outside is believed to have been given, as Woods is known to have many friends.
 George P. Munroe, who a few weeks ago was eXtradited from El Paso to Juarez to answer to a charge of murdering Jesse Burtchell a horse owner at the race track iii the spring of 1911, was also one oi those who escaped.
 Andres Gales, an escaped convict from the New Mexico penitentiary was another.
 The other three are Francisco Con zalez, Antonio Hernandez and Jose de la Luz Ramos, serving terms on minor charges.
 Fugitive Three Times.
 Munroe has broken from the Juarez jail three times. He was liberated by Madero and his insur rectos after taking the town from the federals in May, 1911, but was arrested when he tried to make his way across the river to Fl Paso. He was extradited and returned to jail in JuareZ.
 When the mutiny of troops occur red in the garrison of Juarez a year ago Munroe was again liberated by the mutinous soldiers, and was cap tured by State Ranger Charles Web ster a few weeks later at Deming, N M Extradition proceedings were again begun and only a few weeks ago he. was turned over to the MeXi can authorities to stand trial.

THE WRONG MAN EXECUTED.

Chrales Klein was prompted to write'The Third Degree" after real ing of the execution of the wrong man for a crime to which he con- fessed after having been subjected to a fourteen-hour examination by the police. Several years after the execution the really guilty party confessed. When he read the de- tails, MT. Klein conceived of the plot of his present play and that he struck a popular cord is best shown by the legislation and court rulings against the preliminary investiga- tions of the police of the larger cit ies. The play also contains a strong romantic story.
