souri,, both of whom are making stiff fight to prevent any sort of evidence calculated to fasten the guilt for an actual or alleged conspiracy upon their clients. The government is represent ed by District Attorney Flynn and As sistant Wiley E. Jones, while Maurice McKelligon, secretary to United States Senator Ashurst, is acting as cOnfi- dential reporter of the proceedings.
 The sixteen men are Juan Rivera, Tomas CaIderon, Francisco Moline (Parsist), Jose Encinas. T. Cordoba, Alberto Moreno, Lorenzo Luna, Jose Franco, F. L. Bejeca, Juan Moroyoqui, Teodoro Cayetan, Francisco Mendez. Teodore Ramos, Jose Maria Gomez. Ig- nacio and J. M. Lugo.
 A perfect polyglot of tongues is be- ing spoken during the trial. The In dians speak their own language, there are several dialects, there is the Mex ican speaking the patois of the hills, and the official English tongue. John Nelson is acting as Indian interpreter while Joe Bush is filling the same ca pacity for the Mexicans. Only five witnesses were heard yesterday before adjournment was taken at o'clock. The slowness of the proceeding natur- ally is caused by the large amount of language changing necessary
 The story as told by Officers Lopez and Murphy is well known to the read CTS of The Republican, that having been published exclusively in this paper sev- eral weeks ago when the first actual and authentic story of the arrest of the men was told in these columns, but the added interest began when the men from the Sacaton reservation began telling of the machinations of the mis- sing Miguel Ortiz and his co-workers upon the more susceptible of the In- dians of the. reservation and the meet ings that were held there. Agent Thackery told that Jose Ram | irez and John Eschef Enos, two Pima 1 Indians, brought him the first letter | that was sent down to the Indians and ! how he then began his search for Or | tiz. Since that time Thackery has been nearly all over the southern part of the state but without finding the man who
 is thought to have gone to Mexico.
 Ortiz got wind of Thackery being after him probably because of the non-de- ] livery of other letters which fell into
 Thackery's hands, and left before the agent could get near him.
 The plan to get the Indian chiefs in- terested in the conspiracy was by tell ling them that the United States had planned to take all their boys and send them to Mexico to fight, and while they
 were away redistribution of the lands of the Indians was to be made. The
 conspirators marked all those con-
 cerned in this redistribution for death
 Thackery being one thus chosen. Ramirez and Enos testified to the
 work they did in finding the letters and
 other convicting evidence. Ramirez
 brother -in-law is one of the conspira-
 tors and had for months a re-loadine
 outfit which was presented in court. Il
 had been kept in Ramirez house and his brother-in-law was carefully filling shells for use, and storing them away
 absolutely unknown to his Pima rela l tive.
 The last witness was Jose Miguel He knew very little of his own knowl-
 edge, most of it being hearsay. His
 story was very slowly told. It had but
 small bearing on the case,

Twill Tell Where Actual News from All Over the World is Found - Food for Thought for Adver- tiSer and Subscriber

The Republican doesn't often in stitute comparisons of it's news ser vice with those of it's contemporaries. It believes that it's readers-the pub lie. can make an intelligent compari- son. But The Republican speaks of this matter now because it's contem- porary. the Arizona Gazette makes the misleading statement that it can furnish better war news under the head of "Today's News Today" since it is favored by the difference in time between Phoenix and the seat of war For instance, the Gazette truthfully states that when it is 3 o'clock D. m. in Phoenix it is about little after ten o'clock in Belgium and that the battles of the day have been fought
 The readers of the Gazette are then expected to assume that as soon as the battles have been fought, the Gazette is immediately apprised of the result whereas, it is hours after ward before the results of engage ments are known in London or Paris.
 Readers of The Republican and of all morning dailies must have mo- ticed that the most definite accounts of events at the seat of war, are dated from London early in the morning soon after midnight. For instance, it was a London morning dispatch yesterday that apprised the readers of The Republican that the . Germans had occupied Louvain: that Namur had been invested It was from late night London dispatches, that it was learned that Ghent. Bruges and Ostend were threatened

 PRELIMINARY
Five Witnesses Tell Partial Story of Conspiracy to Blow Up Phoenix-Hear-l ing Was Had Before Judge Parker

Sixteen alleged conspirators against the stability, peace and dignity of the United States were gathered in the su- perior court room all day yesterday upon the occasion of the preliminary examination by acting United States Commissioner Prosper P. Parker, into the probable cause tp believe them guilty of having entered into such con- federation and agreement as is charged against them upon information filed by the United States district attorney, backed up by evidence of co-conspira- tors, officers of the law, and other witnesses. Together with the conspi- rators the court room was filled with some fifty or more Indians from the Sacaton reservation, officers of the law and the wives and relatives of the men under arrest.
 The men are being defended by Fred B. Townsend and Judge Eddie Good win, probably better known as Mis-

 Alvarado Not "Lopez"
 Explaining why Alvarado was first thought by Sheriff Adams to be the man known as Lopez is easy after short conversation with the prisoner Alvarado was so we'll scared that at first he was willing to say any thing. On being asked. Are you not Antonio Lopez?" the miserable fugi- tive only nodded his head and moan ed in his fear.

A LIE NAILED.

Last week report was generally ci' =
culated that a vessel was in the Mispil-
lion River dredging oysters illegally,
and taking them out into the bay for
planting purposes. The watermeu them
selves were talking the matter strong,
and seemed to be indignant that some
thing was not done at once; although it
was up to them to swear out warrants for
arrests. Collector of Oyster Revenues
Howard Hudson, was notified by phone,
and he came bv automobile to Milford
at once. and taking into the machine
with him. the watermen interested,
they proceeded to the Mispillion Light
House, where they took a boat and
went up to where the vessel was an
chored. There they found the sloOp
"Coronet. of Little Creek, with her
Captain, who follows the business of
eel catching and fishing. They boarded
the vessel, searched the decks and then
the hole, and every conceivable place
about her. and found only a part of a
peach basket of oysters which they had
caught lfor their Town eating on the
boat. The Captain was well known to
the Revenue Collector. as a law abiding
citizen. and the matter was dropped
So ended one of the many canard-
which frequently circulate among the

FEDERAL AGENTS ARE
WATCHING The GUNNERS

Sportsmen who have been looking o.
ward to the opening of the cunning
season for ducks were disappointed 10
learn that the open season for those
fowl is not until November lst. This
notice Is given by the Chronicle in order
that our reader may know of the con-
ditlon of affairs and that they will not
get themselves in any trouble by viola
ton of the Federal Game Laws.
Under the Federal Migratory Bird
act, the duck season in Delaware will
not open until November l and will end
January 81.
The short season is designed by
Federal authorities to increase the num-
Der Of wild ducks. 1t is expected that
after the fiOcks increase the laws doubt
less will be amended so as not to be tco
drastic on the sportsmen.
