lot of polyfoxing in the state treas
urer'S office.
"When the late Mark Tully was
state treasurer a law was passed
making that officer the fiscal
agent of the state. AT that time it
amounted to practically nothing,
but as the era of public improve
ment set in which called for bonds
the business increased so enOr-
mously that the legislature set
about providing another plan for
handling the fiscal agency work.
1t created the office of special as
SiStant state treasurer at a salary
of $1,000 a year. 1t is in section
4 of the session laws of 1911, page
16, and it says, The treasurer of
state is hereby authorized to ap-
point as assistant treasurer, who,
in addition to his otheR duties,
shall have charge of the fiscal
agency work of the state treasur-
er'S office at an annual salary of
$780,
"a Kansas farmer may wear a
hickory shirt, but he knows that
that law meant that when it was
made the state treasurer was re-
lieved of the work of tranSacting
the fiscal agency business of the
state, and he knows that relieving
J the treasurer of the work implied
that the fees should be turned in
to the general fund of the state in
accordance with chapter 2, sec.
tion 7, of the appropriation bill
for that year as well as with the
general laws of the state on the
subject.
! Mr.. AkerS knew all about thi;
law when he was elected, but JOhr
Dawson's office held, it appears
that because of the omission of {
comma or something, or perhaps
mistake in the title of the bill, tha
part of it which gave fees to tht
treasurer was not repealed, al
though it clearly created another
officer for the work.
"We understand that these fee,
amount to approximately SS,OOI
during the two years Mr.. Aker
has been in office. They are il
the state treasury, and not in hi
own charge. Under the interpre
tation of John Dawson, or his of
flee, Mr.. AkerS can legally pu
that $4,000 in his pocket; unde
the moral law as Interpreted by al
honest conscience he is not enti
tied to a cent of it. We do no
know whether he is going to gov
ern himself by John Dawson
law or Almighty Gods law in thi
matter, but if he intends to pu
that money in the general fun
of the state where we think
ought to be put, the people of Kar
SaS should demand that he do
NOW.
We have been associated close
ly with Mr.. AkerS in the govel
nor's office, but if he were on
brother we wouldn't vote for hiI
if he kept that money which bt
longs to the people of the state q

GEN. VILLA THROWS OFF
MASK; QUITS CARRANzA

the seizure took place, an dtherefOre
know nothing about it, said Senor
Bonilla last night:
Il do not know whether or not
this was done on orders from General
Villa. I received orders during the
afternoon to report at Torreon as soon
as possible and will leave on the first
train this morning. l do not know
why have been ordered to T rreon." :"
Rumors of Executions Denied.
Shooting was heard in Juarez about
10 o'clock last night which gave rise
to rumors in this city that Carranza
sympathizers were being executed
in Juarez. These reports were en-
+ phatically denied by the Villa off
cials an Investigation developed that
the reports were false.
In the seizure of the offices there
was little or no confusion or excite
ment and officials in adjoining offices
in many cases did not know what
was taking place. Residents of the
city also seemed ignorant of the
fact that anything extraordinary had
occurred in the city during the day.
The dispatches from Saltillo anno-
uncing the resignation of General
Villa as commander-in-chief of the
forces of the northern military zone
came as a complete surprise to Off
cials here, save the few who had
been advised of the intended coup de
etat.
Angeles Believed in Torreon.
At the time of the seizure of the
information office, Senor Abreu had
just given out the information to an
American newspaper man that Gen
eral Felipe Angeles, chief of artil-
lery in the Villa army, had just left
Torreon with the entire artillery di-
vision. Scarcely had the ya reporter
time to read the dispatch when it was
snatched from his hand by one of
Colonel Orzales' men, with fthe curt
order that no paper should be touch
ed save by the express permission of
the military commander.
In view of the developments the
statement that the artillery is en-
route south from Torreon is scarcely
credited. There is just the possibili-
ty, it is said by persons claiming to
be familiar with the situation, that
the~seRders of the dispatch may have
been mistaken in the direction taken
by the men with the big guns. Per
sons usually we'll informed, however,
express the belief that General An
geles had never left Torreon.
Dispatches Doctored.
The reports that Villa had obeyed
the orders of Carranza and left for
the scene of fighting around Zacatec-
as, it is now believed, were incorpor-
ated into dispatches by the censors,
and were manufactured out of whole
cloth, since it now appears that Gen.
Villa never left Torreon after his
arrival there more than a week since
from Chihuahua.

W0MENS EIGHT HOUR
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

GLOBE, Ariz., June 15.-At the
hearing of the case entitled state
of Arizona VS.. the Old Dominion Ho-
tel company, called in the superior
court, Judge Shute sustained the
demurrer on the part of the defend
ant on the ground that the so-called
women's S-hour law in the state of
Arizona is unconstitutional.
The case is interesting from more
than one viewpoint, in that it was
brought against the Globe Dominion
Hotel company on the allegation
that the management of the hotel
had violated the women's hour
law bY permitting or having some of
its female laborers work different
hours than those prescribed by the
state law, and that it is now to re-
suit in testing the law out in the
supreme court, it being assured that
County Attorney Norman Johnson
will take the case up for the pur-
the law on the matter of constitu-
tionality.
1T is understood that Judge Shute
holds that the law is unconstitution-
al from ire fact that it discriminates
as he believes, against some restaur-
ants and hotels in favor of others.
The law, in fact, does designate a
certain class of eating houses as
having privileges that others do not
have, leaving the matter open to
contention and making the law a
proper subject for review by the su-
preme court.
In the case at bar the allegations
of the petition were to the effect
that the girls working in the dining
room of the Old Dominion hotel
took thirteen hours, whereas, the
law provides that the hour service
shall be completed in II hours. The
eating houses which the law is al
legged to discriminate in favor of are
the railroad restaurants, which are
exempted from its provisions with
reference to the performance of
hours service in the given period of
II hours.

the state Industrial school-a mission
unfortunately, not nearly so difficult
of achievement as the work of build
ing it up. OF these newspapers it is
not too much to say that their atti-
tude, with its consequent inevitable
and evidently purposeful injury to the
state industrial school, constitutes
far more of disgrace to Arizona than
the worst conditions so luridly and
falsely portrayed would have been
and then be true to the smallest de-
tail. Of some such conditions of
mind, too, must have been borne the
auditors charges, in which the at
tacks directed against the school cul-
minated. No more charitable inter
probation can be placed upon his
course of action

Bar Arrests Assault

Bar Arrests Assault
A quarrelsome Mexican on the af-
ternoon of Tuesday, while passing a
group of workmen employed on the
repair of the tracks of the smelter
railway suddenly and without provo
cation rushed at the forman of the
men with an ugly knife. His attack
would have been disastrous had not
the attacked man seized an iron bar
with which he struck his assailant
across the head. The Mexican was
arrested, and placed in Jail pending
his recovery, upon which he will
face trial.
