LOCAL WATER CO. AWAITING ARRIVAL
 IF COMMISSION
August list Is Set For Another Hearino of Corporation Commission in Cliff ton in Effort to Permanently Re- lieve Water Situation.

l According to advices received by ] the Town Council of Clifton in a. letter addressed to Mat Danenhauer. Town Clerk, received this week, notice is given that members of the Corporation Commission of Arizona will arrive in Clifton from Phoenix on the evening of July 31 and on Satur- day, August 1, will conduct a hearing on petition presented to the Com mission by the Clifton Water & improvement Co.,, asking permission or the Commission to issue bonds in sufficient amount to permanently improve the local water system in order that the rulings of the Com mission relative to service and pres sure may be fully complied with.
 The petition filed by the Water com pany with the Commission, through the attorneys for the company, Strat- ton & Lynch, recites the fact that the Water company has compiled with all of the orders of the commission is- sued as a result of the hearing held by the commission in Clifton in April, 1913, except in the following in stances:
 The Water company has not com lpleted the six inch line in East Clifton because the City Council has refused a r1ght-of-way over the town bridge across the river.
 The water company has not made connections with the. new fire plugs of the city because of the delay in the delivery of the fire plugs and their installation
 The Water company has not in- stalled the gas engine and deep well pump ordered by the Commission but the same has been ordered and will be installed at the earliest possible date.
 After reciting the above omissions the Water Company states in writing to the Commission that after com plying with all of the orders of the Commission the Water company finds its water system inadequate to meet the necessities of consumers of water. The Water company states that such inadequacy is in part caused by greatly increased and excessive use of water by the larger consumers and an excessive waste of water by the smaller consumers; also that such lnadequacy is in part caused by a lack of carrying capacity in the main line of water transmission from the pumping station to the center of Clifton. The transmission line at present consists of an eight inch pipe line. The Water company in conclusion prays the Commission for the authority to initiate the. con- struction of an additional 10 inch transmission line to Clifton from the pump station and for further per mission to issue bonds for a period of fifteen years bearing seven per cent interest for such an amount as will meet the expense of the new pipe line and it's installation
 The Water company further asks the Commission for a revision of the rates charged the large consumers of water and that the company be allow ed to earn a reasonable amount on it's increased investment.

CLIFTON CHILD IN CRIMINAL CASE IN
 LOS ANGELES
Makes Startling Accusations Charging Revolting Statutory Offense Against Wealthy Grocer of Los Angeles.

Gladys Freeman, a pretty black. eyed girl of 12, told in Judge Willis S court in Los Angeles last week a pathetic story of her alleged mis treatment by George F. Sattler, a wealthy grocer, on trial for a revolt ing statutory offense. It was learn ed that Sattler is an ex-convict and that he has served a total of thirteen years in San Quentin and Folsom for grand larceny. Sattler was church deacon for several years after leav- ling San Quentin eight years ago. He is defended by seven lawyers.
 Gladys, who expects to become a mother within three months, sobbing- ly told of the act charged to Sattler, who has a wife and children. She was on the stand three hours, ,and the formidable array of attorneys for the defense were unable to shake her story.
 When MT. Reyes said in kindly tone, That is all, Gladys" she stepped down off the large chair and fell into a faint in the arms of her foster mother, Mrs. Olive Freeman. She was carried to an anteroom
 Six little girls, ranging from 10 to 13 years, will testify against Sattler today. The fathers and mothers of the girls alleged to have been mistreated were in the courtroom yesterday. The fathers were searched by a deputy sheriff before they were allowed to enter the courtroom. Threats to kill Sattler have been made by the parents of some of the girls. When Sattler was arrested by Detectives Crow and Shy he was rushed to jail in the nick of time. A crowd had gathered and men were preparing moose, the of ficers say. Although Sattler is wealthy he has made no effort to secure his release on bail. He is apparently satisfied to be behind the steel bars,
 Gladys told how she went to Sat tiers grocery and feed store at Mo meta avenue and Fifty-second street on the day before Christmas to buy some candy. While there Sattler is alleged to have taken her into a back room and forcibly mistreated her. When she left the store he gave her 25 cents, she says.
 When did you tell your mother that MT. Sattler had taken liberties with you?" asked MT. Reyes.
 ''On Easter Sunday sobbed Gladys.
 Her answers were given in such low voice that the court reporter had to repeat each answer
 Gladys Freeman was adopted in Clifton when a mere babe by Mrs. Olive Freeman, resident of this city at that time. Later the family removed to Los Angeles, taking the adopted daughter with them She was one of the several children sent to Clifton by an orphanage asylum in New York City to be adopted by Mexican families American citi- zens at that time entered suit in the Probate Court and were appointed guardians of the children, taking them into their own homes. The action of the Probate Court was sustained on an appeal to the Supreme Court of the State.
 At the conclusion of three days trial the defendant was acquitted by the jury and in an editorial the Los Angeles Times intimated that the charges were frame up.

NEW CURRENCY LAW AS APPLIED ID ARIZONA FARMERS
Congressman Hayden Secures Review of Benefits Farmers Win Derive from New Law.

WASHINGTON, July 2-Congress- man Carl Hayden has received so many inquiries from the farmers and others interested in agricultural pur- suits in Arizona as to the benefits which will accrue from the opera tion of the new banking and cur rency law, whick is soon to go into effect, that he submitted the ques- tion to Representative Carter Glass, chairman of the house committee on banking and currency, and recog- nized authority on that subject. In a letter to the Arizona representa- tive Congressman Glass said:
 Answering your inquiry in regard to the amount of farm credits made available under the new federal re- seEve act, I desire to state that MT. Charles A. Conant, one of the best financial experts in the country. computes that the land mortgage provision of the act affords credit 900 from the national banks alone These banks, as you know, have heretofore been denied the privilege of making loans on farm lands
 'The rediscount provision of the federal reserve act furnishes uRHm- ited credit facilities for current farming operations of all kinds In short, after the system is fully 1n- augurated no bank will have any excuse for refusing loans to farmers who may present well secured paper of six months maturity based on agricultural transactions already consummated or in contemplation. The amount of credit afforded by this provision of the bill has 6eeh estimated at several billions of dol lars.
 ''The act will also have a decided effect in reducing the rate of inter est to farmers, and its rediscount facilities will make every sensible banker cheerfully willing to extend credits that he would not feel it pru- dent to do under the old system.
 ''This is an uneXampled record in banking and currency legislation for the beenfit of farmers of the cOun- try and is highly creditable to the democratic administration and to the democratic party in congress.
 (Signed) GARTER GLASS"

WHERE IS THE COIN TO RUN TOWN
 GOVERNMENT?
1t is Estimated That With the Amount of Cash on Hand as Compared With Running Expenses Town Treasury Will Be Empty Before October i.

On the first of this month the amount of cash on hand in the Town Treasury was S5,491 .33 A year ago at this period the cash in the treas ury amounted to $S,522. .36, a short age of approximately $3,OOO. .OO.
 This should not be taken by the reader to mean that any of the city officials are short in their accounts. There has been falling off in revenue from other sources than direct tax ation, such as licenses, fines, etc., and at the same time there has been an increase in town expenditures over and above the estimate prepared by the old Town Council for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914
 When the Town Council prepared its budget of expenditures last year it was estimated that the revenue re- ceived by the Town Treasurer from would net the city $14,442 .OO. As a matter of fact the exact amount re- ceived from this source during this period was $12,704 .87, a discrepancy there of approximately $1700. .0O. The amount received by direct tax ation was $11, ,310 IS. An item which was not included in the estimate last year was new fire plugs. and the cost of their installation which alone dHOuuLS to 9z0UU. UU. ASa1n, the last legislature created the office of Street Supervisor. The salary of this office amounts to $175. % per month and this item was not included in the estimate last year. Recent floods which destroyed two town bridges will cost the town $500. % if not more. Another team and wagon has been purchased and the salary of Town Marshal and Town Clerk increased. Taken all in all it is estimated that Town Warrants will be at discount about the middle of September if not before. Taxes will come in about the first part of Dec ember in a sufficient amount to pay the accumulated warrants for Septem- Der, October and November, but 1t is estimated that in July, 1915 the Town treasury will again be empty, with no taxes collectable until December, 1915.
 statute passed by the last legis- lature provides that the tax rate for the year cannot be increased more than ten per cent over the old levy which will be insufficient to wipe out the indebtedness on December 1, 1915, which it is estimaetd will be approximately ten thousand dollars
 In the event the State wide prohibit amendment carries the loss of licenses will probably swell the deficit to ,000 %.

 MEXICO CITY, July 16.-The change in government whereby Vic toriano Huerta turned over the pro v1s1onal presidency to Francisco Cara bajal was calmly received by the populace. Except for a demonstra- tion made in honor of Caraba1al when he was leaving the chamber of depu- ties, no oNtbursts of importance oc- cured.
 Huerta is in flight, presumably for Puerto Mexico and Blanquet his minister of war, is with him, also several other close friends Before leaving Huerta went to the national palace and congratulated ,Carabajal, who replied that he will do all possi- ble for his country's benefit
 It is expected that a new cabinet will be named today.
 It is announced that a committee left the capital last night for Celaya to arrange with the constitutionalists for a peaceful entry into the capital
 Huerta's resignation was sent to congress yesterday afternoon and was accepted by senators and deputies after a brief debate, by a vote of one hundred and twenty-one to seventeen
 Carabajal was then appointed as provisional president.
 The first move toward the trans fer of the government to the con- stitutionalists will be taken by Car bajal and his three peace commits

HUNTS POLICIES ARE ATTACKED BY
 DR. HUGHES
Opposing Candidate in the Democratic Primaries for Governor Sharply Criticises the Present Administra- ton of State Affars.

PRESCOTT, July 11.-With a hail of invective Dr. H. A. Hughes, candidate for the Democratic nQmin- ation for governor, last night bitterly assailed the present Democratic ad- minfstration, particularly Governor Hunts anti-capital punishment policy, the extravaganza of the administra- tion, and the employment of prison labor
 Dr. Hughes delivered his address before a large audience in the Plaza devoting practically all of his time to dealing with Governor Hunt, his administration and the remedies which he claims are imperative.
 Let me tell you something" said i the candidate Governor Hunt, you will recall walked from the hotel to the capitol building to be inaugurated. He refused to ride in car. He refused to take a taxi.
 He was going to show the people

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY RULES

The Progressive party claims to provide p0-
liiical machinery by which the people can more
freely express themselves than has been possible
heretofore The organization has today given
out tentative rules that are to be submitted to
its members before final adoption and the pro.
visional committee desires constructive criticism
from all those who believe that this new party
has sphere separate and distinct from either
Of the old parties.
They aim to maintain party integrity not so
much through individual candidates as by keep
ing faith with the voters Every Progressive Of
fice-holder is required by their rules to support
the principles incorporated into the platform,
and this without reservation of any kind even
If the measure be introduced by political OPP
ponent, and the rules provide for the enforce
ment of this by the Reputation of any who
fail so to do
They give each precinct club the opportunity
Of creating its platforms thus promoting the
study Of the political and economic thought, of
the day.
They boldly abandon the convention idea, and
depend absolutely on the spirit as well as the let
ter of the new primary laws.
The progressives want a political party sup
ported only by small contributions from those
who believe in the party's aims, and for the first
time in Hawaii the party proposes to permit
women to membership in its precinct clubs.
Certainly the results will be watched with
interest

but. receiving no satisfactory answer
from him, We decided to publish the
story in public press.
Eilerbrock admitted to us later
that he ordered the Koreans 10 work

opinion, is one of the most outrageous
and unhumane that was ever COM

From the time immemorial in Ha-

being is sacred This was true of our
forefathers and also of the Hawaiians
of the present time We believe this
is equally true of the other races.
But how Ellerbroek, who is presumed
to have good common sense, irrespec-
tive of his education. could ever have
done such thing as to order the
grave of our loved one unearthed Ell

We can understand.

man should and ought to be left I'M

case there is no law in Hawaii nei
under which we could prosecute the
offender under this charge:
We hope that the trustees of the
Oahu Cemetery Association, who, we
are informed. consist of reputable

community. would make thorough
investigation of this matter, and, ii
they find that Ellerbrock committed
the act without authority and against

TRY SOMETHING new

Every political row in Hawaii seems To bring
in another mainland officeh0lder
The Republican scrap over the revenue col
lector's office; the Democratic scrap over the
district attorneyship and the latest imbroglio
over the Honolulu postmastership, resulted in
selections from the mainland. But for the pro-
vision of the organic act which limits choice of
governors TO bona fide residents of Hawaii, the
gi1bernaforial fight might have had a different
ending. Always there are senators and repre-
sentatives with political debts at home to pay,
and always they are on the alert for an oppor-
tunity to pay them at the expense of some other
section of the country. With Hawaiian Demo
Gratis clawing and yowling at each other, it is
not to be wondered that Congress believes in
some cases the interests of efficiency and Justice
will be preserved by sending here officials in
volved in no partisan fights and identified with
no partisan factions.
President Wilson's record during his few
months in office Ought to be conclusive proof
that ne investigates candidates with extreme
care, makes up his mind for himself, and at all
times has the firmness to stand by his convic-
ton and the political power and adroitness
to carry his point with the senate. Protests
against the men he has chosen and nominated
so far have fallen flat, and those protesting
have been made to look foolish
Why cannot the politicians of Hawaii for
once try the method of ceasing their protests
when the president makes his nomination and
Of giving the nominee fair opportunity to show
his worth?
