STAbLER WILL
 DEFEND PUBLIC
 SCH0OLSYSTEM
Principal of Phoenix High School to Speak at Tue son During University Week on Recent Attacks on American Education

Alvin K. Stabler, principal of the Phoenix Union High School has tccn chosen to defend the public school sys- tenn before the students and educators of the state during the University Week events at Tucson. The address of Professor Stabler is one of the most important on the lengthy program, as the public educational system is con sidered the foundation of all things for which varsity week stands.
 Although Professor Staber has not prepared his address, his ideas on the subject assigned to him are known so well that critics of the present system of public education can expect a heal thy response from the principal of the Phoenix High School
 Under ordinary conditions, educators do not think it necessary to defend the present system of educating the chil- dren under governmental supervision. Recently, however, critics have come 10 the front and one of the most vigor- ous ones has written her opinions in a Woman's magazine.
 This magazine article" asid Profes- sor Stabler, may be considered by some as a statement of facts collected to show that the present system of education is a failure In reality, the article merely calls to the attention of readers some of the things that might be done to improve the educational system. The purpose of my address will be to show that the present sys- tenn of public schools is as successful as any other American institution" '.
 Recent attacks on the school system have aroused educate throughout the country. and most of them are forti- fled with a formidable army of facts that will uphold the worth of America $ school system.
 T do not consider the American school system perfect, " says Professor Stabler. There are several ways by which it can be improved Neverthe- less, statistics prove that public edu- cation increases the earning power of the student. and elevates him socially and morally. The school system has done a great deal toward eliminating illiteracy Why condemn it while it is doing good?"
 Here are some of the facts founded on statistics, which probably will be in corpOrated in Professor Stabler's ad- dress:

CARPENTERS
 OFFICE. OPEN
Three. Small Rooms on the Third Floor of Federal Building Will Have to Serve Internal Revenue Collector for a Time

There was something stirring except the odorous breeze that swept the In ian-infested upper hall in the federal building yesterday. For Collector Car penter of the UniteS States internal revenue department was moving into his own offices on the third floor.
 Three rooms will be used for the col lectors office. The migration of fices, which have been located next to those of the United States attorney, will be removed to much bigger quar- ters in another building. The collector will have the suite made over with comfortable furniture and effects which he has brought from the abandoned office at Santa Fe, New Mexico.
 The installation of these offices made necessary the cutting of a door com municatipg between the second and third rooms, but this was all the changes that had to be made. Said the collector between orders to his gang of Workmen:
 NO. these offices are not big enough for my comfort and convenience but we must get along with them for d while Until we can get new building for the post office, or add something tC this one, all of us will necessarily be crowded"
 The elevator was used to bring up q lot of the lighter furniture, and many patrons of this free line of travel were ! turned away just when they wanted tC use it the most. A set of shears erect ed in an upper window served to ele- , Vate some of the heavier cases anC desks to the top floor.

MANY NAMES CONFUSE
 JURY IN J. 5. COURT
Cayetana Aeman indicted, Porfirio Qulnones Answers; Excuse Is
 Sore Arm: Acquitted


 The plurality. multiplicity, majori- ty, excess and general confusion of names possessed by certain small and weazened Mexican man got him off in federal court yesterday. The alibi lay in the matter of which was he?" No one knew for certain, so the humane jury turned the pris- oner loose.
 The present grand jury discovered d case against one Cayetana Aleman. and returned true bill specifying the misdemeanors he had committed in connection with the sale of some intoxicating liquor to an Indian, then and there ward of the United States and under the care of an h. dian agent. Aleman was arrested, but didn't admit that it was him. He claimed his name was Porfirio Quinones.
 He is the chap who. on arraign ment the day before, asked to leave 10 submit his written testimony. It was found to be this, in effect:
 T have a sore right arm, and not being left-handed how could I raise 8 glass of liquor to my lips, much less give the stuff to an Indian
 Miguel Morelos was on trial the second shift of the court on the same sort of a charge. He was accused of having given liquor to two Pimas, Judge Woodward was defending him.

CASA GRANDE VALLEY WATER RIGHT DECISION
Land Office Does Not Change Ruling That Share in Association Is
 Valueless on Desert Claim

All that the Casa Grande water users had to fear from the action on water rights by the department of the interior has come to pass. Law Clerk Wilson of the local office of the United States land bureau an nounced yesterday he had received the formal notice for transmission to the people of the Casa Grande val ley regarding the clai ma water share in their association has with the government
 The delay which was secured since the announcement by the interior de- partment that the possession of d share in the association would not enable land owners to make final proof on desert entry claims, has been to no effect. Attorneys repre- senting the association have striven with the department chiefs, but their decision that the waters of the Gila river had already been oVer-appro- priated was not to be changed The local office will mail it's notices to- day. The other time, Colonel Weed in had the notices already in the mails, when the telegram arrived from Washington giving notice of the delay He searched the mail bags and recovered all his letters There is a certain period in which the association may file briefs with the proper court, asking that the de- cision of the land office be not al lowed to stand.

He touched upon the doings of Nero, giving d vivid picture of the cruelty of the emperor It seemed to the speaker that he had fixed the idea of injustice and Wickedness in the minds of his hearers. Then he began to ask a few questions. Boys, what do you think of Nero?'

It was with inward suppressed eX- citement that Roy Herald visited his ; desk in the office of United States ; Marshal Joe Dillon yesterday morn irg. Also he was a little late.

Every child for whom 20 cents is expended in public education funds draws on an average two dollars a day for the remainder of his or her life.
 If 20 cents a day is expended for the education of a child through the high school grades. the child earns, by req son of his education, s10 for every day for a period of 40 years following his graduation.
 Compared with conditions existing 50 years ago, the child of today is shown to have much higher degree of learn ing than the child of a half century ago, proving that the present method of public education is a great improve ment over the old one, even if it is not perfect

Oil Gusher.

Huntington, May 20.-Drillers

Development Company at Bran CHI
land, about 80 miles from here,
struck what is thought to be the
largest gusher in the states oil his
tory when an 00-barrel- an- b. our
was brought in today. The we'll is
located on the Dial farm. Fully
twelve hundred barrels escape d
before the we'll was shut IN. A
special train IS on the way from
Marietta with tank to stop flow
that is threatening to break off the
cape. The we'll was being drilled
for Pas, and at a depth of $500
feet oil was first noticed.
This has caused the greatest ex.
element IN the history of oil field
development in West Virginia
aud at midnight reports coming
IN from various sections say that
there will be hurried exodus to
the new strike.
The gusher opens up a new line
OF development, and the southern

more turn his eyes toward West
