stances arising that would obligo him to
abdicate voluntarily, or If he were
forcibly ous,ed from the possession OF
the Albanian throne, or in the event of
his ASA ssination.
Just a short time ago Prince William
Of wied, who has hitherto made his
home with his wife and little daughter
at Potsdam was officially notified ny
the Chancellor Of the German Empire,
in the name Of the four great Powers
and of the provisional government OF
Albania, of his election to the throne Of
Albania. and in reply he requested the
Chancellor 10 make known his accept

leave for Avlona. the provisional capital
of his dominions, 1t was because he
wished to give time to the international
which II has been engaged. of delimit-
ing the new boundary line between Al
bania and Greece.
The Greeks bitterly resent having to
withdraw from all that southern portion
Of Albania which they had occupied
with their troops, and which they re-
garded as part of their spells of the
recent wars in the Balkans. They con-
slider themselves as being robbed Of the
fruits of their victories, and they have
offered so much resistance to the work
Of delimi,ation of the new frontiers that
Austria and Italy were obliged to adopt
q somewhat militant attitude toward the
Athens Government. The new King OF
Albania very naturally wishes To have
this thorny question settled for good and
all before assuming possession OF his
throne, so as to avoid inaugurating his
reign with a bitter quarrel with Greece
upon his hands.
Speculation is rife as to the motives
which have induced Prince William Of
Wied to exchange life of relative
luxury, ease and pleasure at Potsdam
and Berlin for one Of such stress, hard
ship, adventure and danger as that
which will fall to his share and to that

Orin Taylor, held on the charge of giving false testimony in the trial of Babb and Phillips for horse steal ing, was yesterday arraigned in two courts and plead guilty in each to the charge against him. He will be sentenced by Judge Phillips Friday morning, next.
 Taylor was arraigned the first time in Justice Johnstones court, where he stated he did not wish a lawyer, that he realized he was in bad and that he would plead guilty and throw himself on the leniency of the court. He was held there to an- sWer to the superior court.
 Asst Co. Attorney Candy imme- diately took the matter before Judge Phillips. and it was decided to ar raign Taylor in the superior court, there to plead, at o'clock in the afternoon. Before the superior court | the prisoner made the same plea as he had entered in the justice court. 1 The story told by Taylor was that of a young fellow who has taken the wrong track through money offer from an older head Taylor lives in Fl Centro, California. when he is at home. Just preceding the departure | for Phoenix of Babb and Phillips Taylor was met on the streets of Yuma by Babb and Phillips father and was offered, according to his story yesterday. money beside ex- penses to come to Phoesix and testi- fly the way he was instructed.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS ARE
 MADE INTO GOOD CITIZENS

thus bringing about his own reforma- tion with that of his comrades.
 The suggestion of a practical test of the plan came from George w. P. Hunt, then president of the Old Dominion Commercial company, whose store had been robbed by a youngster. MT Hunt disliked to prosecute the culprit and offered to contribute $50 month to-
 wards maintaining a camp in the mountains where offenders could be cared for and an effort made to re- form them. He discussed the matter with Judge Lewis, who saw in it the possible realization of his preconceived notion of the proper solution of the problem. The board of supervisors be- came interested and it was finally der cided to make it a county juvenile camp maintained at public expense.
 A site among the pines of Pinal mountains was selected and a man who understood and loved boys was placed | in charge. The officers picked up all | the boys of the city who had commit ted offenses, some of them well on the road to hardened, criminal careers under what seemed to be hopeless sur veillance. There were a dozen of them lined up in Judge Lewis chambers by the officers to receive the charge of the court, an unclean and unprepOsses- sing juvenile jury, whom Judge Lewis there instructed that they were to be- come the sole judges of the evidence against them but the law applicable to them still rested with him. He sent them to the mountains to deliberate, and placed Lawrence Tulloch in charge as bailiff. He was instructed not to return his charges into court until all had concurred in the final verdict, and he stated very earnestly what that yer dict should be. If any number of the boys held out the others were depended upon to make them understand what the verdict meant to them. Each boy was placed upon his honor and the bailiff's duties were simple. He was tc be their guide. philosopher and friend
 The boys were provided with baseball
 outfits, marbles, croquet sets, and were clad in kakhai and strong shoes. They marched to the mountains and built their own camp, which consisted oi
