LAW |S PLAIN
 SAYS BILLIARD.
After Headlight Test is Made, Attorney General Says That He Has No Option and Must Enforce Provisions

TUCSON, Arizona. Feb. 15.-While admitting that the nitrogen incan- descent headlight was as effective for all practical purposes as the regulation electric headlight, as shown by the test east of the city, Attorney General Bullard stated that the law was clear on the subject and that he would be obliged to recommend to the district attorney that the engines of the Southern Pacific railroad must be equipped With as nearly a powerful headlight as required by law as It was possible to obtain.
 50 far as I could observe" MT. Bullard stated. T could see very lit tie difference between the two head lights, and l am satisfied that the nitrogen incandescent headlight is 2 very satisfactory light, as shown by the test However. l have no au- tkority to direct that the railroad shall be allowed to use headlight Of smaller candle power than that required by law. even should it seem to be as powerful as in the test this evening. I shall direct the district attorney to require the engines of the Southern Pacific to be equipped with headlight of as near the can dle power required by law as it is possible to obtain. The law requires headlight of 1,500 candle power, and I have no authority to change the law"
 Corporation Commissioners Cole and Geaiv did not express an opin- ion, but Mr Bullard stated that the matter was properly one for the of- flee of the attorney general to pass upon and that the corporation com missioners could make no special provisions or exceptions contrary to law.
 However, Mir. Bullard and the cor poration commissioners were highly pleased with the unique and inter csting nature of the demonstration and with the courteous treatment of
 the railroad officials.
 ! The test was made under the di- ! rection of R. J. Clancy, assistant to ! the general manager of the company The train left Tucson at 7:45 o'clock
 and the company included a large
 number of railroad officials, the cor pCration commissioners, Messrs. Cole and Geary, Senator Worsley, County

MUNICIPAL LIGHT REPORT

In order that the sewerage bonds may be voted on at the earliest time possible, a report from citizens committee to the town council to- night will in all probabilities, convey the recommendation to postpone the bond election for the municipal own ership of an electric power and light ing system until some later date. First intentions were to hold the two elections on the same date thus de- creasing expenses and trouble, but to follow out the legal steps will require several months to get the election call in shape for the lighting sys- tenn. Among the several matters up for attention at the special meeting of the council tonight are the sewer bids which were taken under advise ment at the last regular session.

.EVENTS CROWD FAST ON
 THIS DAzED MEXICAN
Accused or Burglary, Discharged, Is Caught in Another and Goes
 to the Pen.

Few men have had so much crowded into a week of their life as has Vincente Gonzales, who yesterday donned the uniform of an inmate of the state penitentiary at Florence. With him events followed so fast one upon another that it was small wonder he was in a dazed condition. He was one of the eight convicts brought by Allie Howe, deputy sher- stone to Florence,
 One week ago yesterday there was a burglary committed in Douglas and last Monday Vincente Gonzales was arrested on suspicion of being con- nected with it. Subsequent events give reason for the belief that he probably was, but on Tuesday of last week he was given a preliminary hearing and was discharged He and his companion then proceeded on to Lowell, a suburb of Bisbee, and Wednesday night they broke into a tent house and stole a rifle, shells glasses and other goods. Thursday noon they were arrested for the crime and that afternoon were given a preliminary hearing and held for the grand jury. They were taken to Tombstone where an information was filed Friday morning. That after noon Gonzales pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one to five years in the penitentiary. He left Tomb stone Saturday morning and Sunday morning, six days from the time when the first burglary was com
 mitted. he began his incarceration at Florence. Jersey justice has been
 held up to the country as syn onimous with speed but for real rap idity this sample of Arizona justice has New Jersey clear back in the
 ruck taking the dust from the high
 CT powered car.

 and two accused of assault with deadly weapons made up the rest of
 the personally conducted party that

MORE CONNECTS FOR
 1 STATE HIGHWAY WORK
Eighteen Are Added to the Two Road Camps Engaged in Cochise County.

Eighteen more convicts were taken from Florence to Bisbee last night for employment on the state high way work that is being done in Co., chise county Not all of those are required to make up for escapes, but a larger force is needed. The addi- tional men will be divided between the mountain and the valley camps. Engineer A. G. Atwood of the state engineering department is in charge of the party.
 Engineer Atwood arrived Tn PhOe- nix Saturday night, taking to Flor ence a Mexican who had escaped from one of the road camps and had broken his parole in Tucson and was being taken back to Florence to serve out his sentence.
 The fact that the convict camps in Cochise county are so close to the international line, has stimulated con- victs to greater efforts to make their escape, and consequently there have been more escapes reported than where this class of labor has been tlStN IltIt tlllBipS tA. tli' ifo U uNi of the forest camp. which is in sight of the international boundary than of the mountain camp, which is ten or twelve miles away. Still a num- Der of convicts have made their way to Mexico. It has been learned that few of these entered the constitu- tionalist army and that most of them are now in Cananea. Steps are be- | ing taken for their return to off, cials on this side of the line and within a short time practically all of those who have made their get away will have been returned tC Florence to serve out their sentences ; within the prison walls instead oi ! in the more pleasant surroundings l of the road camps which they de- serted.
 Engineer Atwood states that state
 road work is progressing rapidly anC
 economically. They are now in shape
 so that rains will do little or no dam age and when April comes the camps will be broken and the new worl left in a condition such that no dam age will come to them from th' Summer doWnpours.

co. C TEAM PICKED

The final tryout work on the Com pany c rifle range north of Tempe yesterday, served to make several alterations to the siX-man lineup Of the team tentatively picked when the tryouts were held a week ago. While the wind was bad yesterday and the weather in general not at all suited to good work on a target range, the scores made were in all cases better than previously recorded. Rapid fire at two hundred yards, shooting ten rounds in a minute and half, and rapid fire at three hundred yards, shooting ten rounds in two minutes seemed the easiest ranges for most of the competitors to handle. Ten rounds slow fire were also fired from the five hundred yard range. Ag- gregate scores made at the three ranges yesterday by the men will represent Company c in the annual cup match at the state range next Saturday. The scores were: Arthur Griffin, 13O; A. J. Cosner, 129; Gar land White, 126; Leon Banks, 121;
 James Lemons, 1O9; Fem Harris, 1O4.

1.-THE PRICE SHE PAID"

''The Price She Paid" play quite popular in it's story form, will be seen dramatized at the Goodwin opera house tonight. Headed by a metropolitan cast and having as it's star no less a competent actress than Miss Sylvia Summers, this great play, which has been pronounced even more absorbing than David Graham Phillips book, is expected to make a big hit tonight. While the general trend of the productions made in Tempe this winter, "The Price She Paid,' tells things can didly and earnestly, possibly occa- sionaIly frank and sometimes start ing in it's situations, but it is all ways absorbingly interesting.

Hereford's Statement

T do not think that an investiga- ton by a grand jury is feasible, '' said Frank H. Hereford, member Of the board of regents, but I am agreeable to an investigation of the charges by any reputable citizen or body of citizens. There are no crim- inal charges against the management and those are the only sort of charges that a grand jury would have jurisdiction to investigate.
 While General Wilson doubtless is actuated by friendly feelings, it seems to me that this is merely further agitating a matter that will work itself out satisfactorily l think that the board of regents will be able to set forth in their report facts which can easily be verified by any enc"

GRAND JURY
 PROBE ASKED
General Wilson, Friend of University, Calls for a Special Venire to Inves- tigate Charges as to the University
Especial to The Republican,

Special to The Republican, !. TUCSON, Feb. 14.-In communi- cation addressed to Judge Cooper of the superior court, Gen. Thomas F. Wilson, who professes to be one of the best friends that the state um- versity possesses, next to Selim M. Franklin, who as a member of the state legislature secured the appro- priation for it's establishment here, asks that a special grand jury shall investigate the condition of the uni versity and the conduct of it's af- fairs. He sets up the charges of Senator Worsely and of Henry G. White formerly of the deaf and dumb school, and attaches copies to his communication.
 General Wilson says in part:
 Relieving that l have contributed much as any man alive today, eX- cept the Hon. Selim M. Franklin, to secure the location of the University of Arizona at Tucson, and having always been and still being the sin cere friend of the university, these charges and counter charges, some of which are very serious, have par ticularly attracted my attention and appear very prejudicial to the uni versity and should be legally inves- tigated that the public may know the exact truth.
 T know nothing personally of these charges, but am satisfied that unless they are investigated by some legal authority, they will do serious damage to the usefulness of the university
 County Attorney George O. Hllzin- ger stated that the calling of a grand jury is a matter for the deci- sion of the judge of the superior

And to say that girls would not

mothers taught their boys to revere

said that they knew that some girls
paid, but they had believed that they,
themselves, would be clever enough
to evade it.
But they always pay! And one
night month ago, Mayme Connors
was found in stupor on the car
tracks at Western avenue and 69th
street. She was wrapped in an auto
mobile blanket and she told story
of two men who took her for a ride
and then threw her out of the car.
In the publicity that followed she
began to realize what terrible price
her pleasure cost her and she tried
to hide away, and she did not have
much work, and always remorse tor
tured her, for she bought a revolver
and toyed with it, and she turned it
on herself and ended the drama.
And the little girl who should have
been in school, but who was so world
ly wise that, according to Inspector
of Morals Dannenberg, she has al
ready figured in courts on the charge
of delinquency, chose the primrose
path when she was sixteen.
Her mother says the girl loved the
boy with whom she claimed she spent
three nights wandering around in an
auto and stopping at different hotels,
and who she claimed dared her to
swallow poison until she recklessly
accepted the challenge.
But it doesn't matter what was the
thing that lured her into the path
of roses" it only matters that she fol-
lowed it and that today her heart
broken mother is weeping over
dead child.
How many warnings are conveyed

the wages of sin are death, yet each

pity!
ARE THE BIG NEWSPAPERS
ABOVE THE LAW?
Editor Day Book: I read in your
paper that two women had been run
down and seriously injured by Daily
News delivery wagon. Nothing aston
ishing about that! Every day l see
the wagons and automobiles of the
newspapers run along our streets,
even passing Fairgrounds and schools
where children are playing, at dan
gerous rate of speed. Some more in
juries, perhaps fatalities, will certain
ly follow if this practice is not stop
ped. 1t is too late to arrest driver
after he has run down or killed some
one. The speed law ought to be en-
forced, and those who really are re-
sponsible for the continuous and per-
sistent disregard of that law should
be punished.
l do not like to think that the cause
is entirely to be found with the driv-
ers, or that they are class of men
who place no value on the life and
safety of others. Part of the blame
must be located higher up" Now if
the police will not stop this reckless
driving by newspapers through our
streets the citizens may have to de-
wise some other means by which to
stop it. Citizen.
