The stable ny Is regarded by the
department Of agriculture as a men
ace, not only to domestic animals, but
to human beings. and this il the sea-
son OF the year when means for ex-
terminating and controlling the pest
should be adopted. In this connection
the department recommends, among
other things, the Hodge fly trap, . sim
pie. easily constructed contrivance, as
one Of the most effective meas
ures In destroying the fly. The fiies
frequently attack mankind, and during
severe outbreaks men engaged in field
work are often annoyed by them.
In the southern part of the United
States the stable fly is q source OF
great danger to live stock, and to
the welfare Of the community practi-
cally throughout the year. In the
Northwest the fly seldom becomes suf-
ficiently numerous to cause annoyance
except during the latter part of the
summer and early fall The most Sc
rious damage caused by the fly, how
ever, is In the grain belt
Practically all warm blooded ami
mails are attacked by flies, while mules
in general seem to be more annoyed
than any other animals. Horses and
cattle are severely attacked, while
sheep and goats are prey for the fly,
which attacks them on all parts of
the body not protected by the wool,
particularly the legs, and hogs are
subject to annoyance by the pest, es-
pecially when they are in pasture.

window. On the floor of this frame
work is bait pan containing any kind
of food material attractive to the flies.
Both the inner and outer sides of the
frame are covered with screen wire,
arranged In such a way as to provide
three rows of openings leading to the
interior.
One opening is a space one-half inch
wide between the moor of the trap and
the lower screen wire. There is
one such space on each side run
ming entirely across the window.
These openings admit flies directly
into the space containing the bait.
This is covered by a roof of screen
wire along the ridge of which holes,
large enough for flies to pass, are
punched at two inch intervals. High
er up the sides are two rows of open
ings formed by bending the screen
wire inward and upward TO form two
horizontal folds running across the
window.
A series of small holes are also
punched along the inner edge of each
of these folds, Thus there are three
rows of openings on each side OF the
trap. one at the bottom leading direct
ly to the bait and from there through
the holes in the ridge to the interior
OF the trap The two above this are
openings through folds OF wire which
lead directly to the interior of the

HY PETERs0N's KILLERS
 APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT

Attacking the refusal of the lower court to grant a new trial to Atha w. Leonard and John Tomlin, the youths who shot and killed Marshal Peterson of Mesa, record on appeal in the case was filed yesterday in the supreme court. q Appeal is made on fourteen counts, by reason of which, it is claimed, defendants were not given a fair and impartial trial. Thirteen of the counts submitted are those on which motion was made for a new trial, the fourteenth being that the court erred in denying the request of defendants for same. It was stated in the motion that the court erred in the admission and re- jection of evidence. and in the de- cision of points of law, and that material error was committed during the progress of the trial tending to injure the rights of defendants.
 The appeal alleges misconduct of the jury during the trial in that while the jurors were being kept to- gether. and before verdict had been rendered, that they read an arz. ticle in a local paper which was cal- culated to prejudice them against de- fendants. It is stated that the jury received evidence out of court, that the court misdirected the jury, as to points of law, and that the verdict was contrary to law and to the evil dence The information is also at tackled as defective on the ground that the facts stated were not suf- ficient to charge the defendants with murder. Errors in admitting the remarks of the county attorney and in failing to give the instruc- tions offered by the defendants, are also charged against the action of the court
 The killing of. Marshal Peterson took place on November 12, 1913, and Leonard and Tomlin were placed on trial in February last. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, and sen tence of death was imposed on March '. On May 21, one day be- fore the sentence was to have been execluted, reprieve was granted by Gov. Hunt until December 19. pend ing the submission to the people of the proposed constitutional amend ment abolishing the death penalty.

With crash like the explosion of a dynamite charge, a twenty by twelve foot glass window fell out of it's frame in the south side of the Adams hotel building and was shattered on the sidewalk, late yesterday afternoon. w. R. Bertram. an electrician, working on the repairs to the Adams lunch room, received cuts about the hands, but was the only person injured by the flying glass.
 That the glass should drop to the ordinarily weil-filled sidewalk at a time when no one happened to be under it seemed little less than mirac- ulous-certainly providential-as the plate would probably have instantly killed anyone being caught beneath it.
 It was the loosening of the sup ports, accomplished during the course of the repairs, that permitted the glass to fall

Wilson and Boido Interview Race Committees Rela- tive to Separating Ari- zona and Coast-Phoenix Motorbike Events

Putting the Northern Arizona road benzine sports, so that entries in the intra- state event may also join the starters in the Los Angeles to Phoenix desert grind, was suggested to the two race committees as now constituted. by some of the local con- testants yesterday. At the instiga tion of his fan daddy, Lorenzo BoidO. with his race mate Ellie Wilson put the proposition to Thomas w" Thompkins of the northern race com mittee and secured tentative en- dorsement.
 After a two hour search, Wilson found members of the Coast race committee who were willing to lis ten to his argument, and from his statement to a Republican reporter, he seemed satisfied that the other committee would be agreeable
 Provided the state fair commission, which is virtually backing the intra- state race, can be won over to the scheme, there appears no reason why the Arizona race should not be fin ished from three days to a week be- fore the coast to Phoenix classic. Finishers in the first event could ship to the coast city, in time to start in the second event Wilson stated yes- terday that he was willing to put up his double entry fee at once. pro- vided assurance could be given the races would be held apart so he might enter both. His machine, and that of Boido, which will be pre- pared by the Motorcycle shop, 1n- dian agents of this city, will be ready a week earlier. in case it is necessary.
 No riders except Boido and Wilson have so far placed so much faith in their ability to take punishment, as to announce themselves anxious to enter both. races.

GOVERNOR HAS MILITIA PLAN
Proposes to War Depart ment That Inspector-In- structor of Suitable Rank Be Sent Here to Watch Work Until Jan. 1, 1915

An officer of the regular army, of a rank not less than captain, will be ap- pointed tor-inspector of the Arizona National Guard in the near future. This plan for bringing the companies of state militia up to the standard prescribed by the war depart
 ment has been adopted at the sugges- tion of Governor Hunt, who recently took the matter up with the war de- partment officials in Washington.
 The order mastering out Companies c, D and L of the Arizona National Guard because of objections to the constitution of the companies held by the then instructor inspector, was re- gently suspended until January l, 1915, on condition that some plan be ad- vanced which would enable the com panies to comply with departmental regulations. Acting in compliance with this condition. and believing that the interests of the militia could best be advanced by the appointment of an officer of the rank of captain, Cover nor Hunt suggested this course of &C., tion to the officials in Washington
 As the success of each company of militia depends largely on the captain, it is thought that the selection of an officer of this or higher rank, who will devote his whole time to the work of instruction and inspection of the na- tional guard of the state will be of great assistance to the captains of the various companies in arousing interest and in developing an esprit de corps, which will place the Arizona militia in the very best condition before the next inspection.
 A part of the duties of instructor inspector are now being performed under special arrangement with the war department by Col. George Leroy Brown. commandant at the University of Arizona. Practically all of Colonel Browns time has been taken up with the work at Tucson, and with the cor |srespondence school. leaving little time for inspection of the various compan- ies throughout the state. Under the ! new arrangement. the officer in charge Of this work will devote his whole time to inspection. working in cooper ation with the adjutant-general His headquarters will be in Phoenix.

 Neither the democratic party nor President Wilson is in sympathy with protection, and the democrats of the south are not in sympathy with democratic methods of handling the other great national issues.
