TO SAVE MOTHER FROM
 STEPFATHER
James P. OXley, High School Boy, Kills W. k. Meadows on Home Ranch, Five Miles from Here Yester- day Afternoon

James r. OXley. a youth of nine teen is in the county jail charged with the murder of William K. Mead ors. his step-father. and Hattie -. Meadors, mother of the accused and wife of the dead man. is prosrated with grief, all on account of shoot ing scrape which grew out of an al- tercation over some farm equipment at the MeadOrs home ranch, five miles northwest of Phoenix yester day afternoon about four o'clock Young Oxley shot his step-father with a S2. Savage automatic the bull let passing through Meadors left wrist, penetrating the body about the center of the breat bone and passing out at the back Death followed al most instantaneOusly The wounded man gurgled and crumpled to the ground. The trembling stepson with the smoking pistol in his right hand, 1 watched the last few witches in the | fallen form and with sob turned and buried his head on his mothers shoulders.
 l In the county jail last night OK | ley. who had retained Alexander and | Christy as his council. refused to make any statement relative to the causes of the affair The only ad- mission he would make was that he shot Meaders with a pistol and not with a rifle, as some had indicated in passing the story around. From | the best information, it apeparS that the youth fired the fatal bullet in the belief that his own life was in danger and that his mother was in danger of some harm. He had observed the | controversy between the two just a few minutes before, and while he will neither deny or admit the truth of the assertion, it is understood upon good authority that the dead man not only struck the woman but also made a threatening pass at the young fellow standing by. He then pulled the gun and fired.
 As soon as the mother and son realized the fact that Meadors was | seriously wounded and not knowing that he was dead they telephoned to town for Doctor F. Payne Palmer who hurriedly left for the scene.
 When he arrived it was too late however. to render any assistance The man was dead and acting in his capacity as a citizen Doctor Palmer brought the young man back tU the county jail while the coroner and the officers were proceeding to the scene of the alleged crime.
 It is understood that there has been considerable trouble in this family for some time On January the 18th last, and injunction suit
 was sued out in the Superior Cour of Maricopa County. upon the appli- cation of Mrs Meadors against the } dead man, restraining him from in
 terfereing in the management of thu } home ranch. At that time diVorc, : proceedings were expected in the course of a short time, but thes, were afterwards dismissed Mrs l Meadors owns the ranch in her owl Continued on Page Six.)

Roosevelt SallS
 After Wilson Is
 Made His Target
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 NEW YORK; May 30.-The failure of the Wilson administration to handle satisfactorily either the trust or tariff question. is charged by Roosevelt in statement left behind him for publi- cation after his departure for Europe.
 The cost of living has not been re- duced Not the slightest progress has been made in solving the trust ques- tion," he said.
 Tt has been shown that the reduc- ton of the tariff in no shape or way helps toward this solution. Economic conditions are such that business is in jeopardy and that the small business man. the farmer and industrial wage worker are all suffering because f these conditions"
 Roosevelt said he would put in the hardest work of the campaign in New York state.
 T believe the time has come to clean house in New York" he said.
 He assailed the Murphy and Barnes machines. but made no reference to the tentative plan of the progressive leaders for endorsement of the repub- lican nominee in this state. provided he meet their requirements.
 This is the statement:
 Since my return from South Amer ica I have received hundreds of tele grams and letters from ali over the country requesting statements from me on the political situation. It has been impossible to reply to these communi- cations. first, because of the lack of time. second. because it must be re- membered that I have been out of the country for nearly eight months and have been home only ten days. and therefore have not been able to ac quire the necessary information that will enable me to respond intelligently to many of the inquiries made of me.
 When I return from abroad I shall at once take up actively the political situation It goes without saying that I intend with the utmost of my ability to do all that I can for the principles for which I have contended and for the men throughout the country who have stood so valiently in the fight that the progressive party is Waging and has \Vapp6 for these priDciDleS
 There is widespread apprehension among our people. The pinch of pov erty is felt in many households and we cannot ignore the conditions which have brought about this state of things The cost of living has not been re- duced. Not the slightest progress has been made in solving the trust ques- tion. It has been shown that the re- duction of the tariff in no shape or way helps towards the solution. The econ- omic conditions are such that bushes. is in jeopardy and the small bushes! man, the farmer and the industria of these conditions
 "The truth simply is that the onl, wise and sane propositions. the onh propositions which represent construc tive governmental progressvism an, the resolute purpose to secure good re suits, instead of fine phrases, were tn l principles enacted in the progressiv | platform in connection with the trust | and the tariff alike"

THE RUSSIAN ARMY
AS TT REALLY rs

st. Petersburg, Sept. doe to
their experience in the war with ia.
ian, the officers of the Russian army
were said to be the best trained in
Europe at the beginning of the pres
ent titanic conflict. The education Of
the modern officer has radically
changed during the last few years.
The development of present day war
fare has rendered it necessary for him
to acquire an ever-increasing burden
Of knowledge so that on the CONT
rent today the military officer is
certainly one of the hardest worked
members Of the community. Every
year maneuvers are made more real
istic. But, after all, the best train
ing for war is war.
The Russian army today contains
the only men in Europe who have
had this training, as far as war on
a vast scale is concerned. Tens OF
IHOuSdluS VI OlliCcIS anu men WnO
are in the field with the Russian army
today have had the actual experience
in modern warfare on which the text
books Of the other contending armies
are based.
Among the endless battalions which
are ncw on the Prussian and Austri.
Il IL -
an frontiers fighting the Germans
and their allies are any number OF
officers who have made the inevitable
mistakes committed by troops facing
fire for the first time.
1t is probable that every regiment
of Russian troops in action today con.
tains seasoned men who faced the in
ferno of japanese fire at Port Ar
thur, Mukden and the other deadly
combats Of the Manchurian cam
paign.
Military experts understand the in
appreciable moral effect which tn.
presence Of such veterans has on un
tried recruits. .........
Imperial Valley press., 1914-09-07
Against these fire tried veterans are

Against these fire. tried veterans are
opposed the Germans with their for
ty-four years of ceaseless drilling and
preparation for war. The conflict Of
1914, five weeks old, has not yet dem
cnstrated whether or not book train
ing IS equal to experience. The world
is eagerly watching the test.
The Russian officer in social stand
ing and in his relations with his men
is a sort of mean between the Ger
man and French officer. Like the
German, he is of official caste and
perhaps may come from the nobility,
hut Cften, like most of the French
officers, he comes from humble ori-
gin, and therefore is on friendly and
intimate terms with the men under
him. The Russian officer enters the
military academy very young-seven
years or therea abouts-and remains in
training ten or eleven years before
he is given commission.
The difficulties confronting the Rus
sian general staff in the present war
are many and great. While the Brit
ish army knows something of the
guarding Of frontiers by its expert
ence in India, and the GGmans and
French have had their Alsace- -Lor-
raine frontiers, to look after, the
great empire of Russia has seven
frontiers to be defended, is vulner
able from seven angles, by land and
sea. and while sending her hordes of
invaders into Austria and Prussia
must always keep a big force at
home to look after her thousands of
miles of borders.
It is an axiom of war to be pre-
pared to outnumber an enemy at a
given point, but Russia has to be
eady to outnumber her enemy at
many points, hundreds and sometime:
thousands Of miles from each other
Another grave obstacle in the way OF
the Russian general staff now are
the traditions of bribery and corrup.
tion which still remain in certain cir.
| cles Of the Russian bureaucracy.

SHORTHAND REPORTERS
WOULD EDIT SPEECHES
Delegates to Association Meeting
Declare It Should Be Their Preroga-
tive in Conventions.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. August 27.-
Delegates to the convention of the Ma
tional Shorthand Reporters Associa-
ton yesterday declared it should
be the prerogative of convention ste
|nographers TO determine to what eX-
tent speakers before such bodies shall
be reported in their own language.
Verbatim reporting is hopelessly out
of date, several speakers asserted.
after Miss Lulu Marvel of Atlantic
City declared in discussing paper by
w. f. McDermut of Chicago that ste
nographers who specialize in conven-
ton work must be prepared to edit"
speeches just as editors handle copy.
Others averred that it is the business
Of stenographers who cover conven-
tions to set down not what the speak
err actually says, but what he intended
to say and dress it up in much better
rhetoric than was used in the heat Of
discussion.
E. J. Shalvey of New York launched
a movement to eliminate speed con-
tests. He said such contests cheap
ened" the profession. About twenty
experts, including one woman. took
part in the annual speed and accuracy
tests yesterday. The winners were not
announced.
