DICK LINER IS
IN THE Tolls
Alleged Passer of Worth
less Checks Is Located in
Utah by Detective M. Joe
Murphy After a Lengthy.
Search for Wanted Man.

After a relentless search of 800
days, during which the man sought
passed from town to town and from
state to state, NJ Joe Murphy, pro-
prietor of Murphy's Private Detect
i've and Information Bureau of this
city, yesterday received word that
his efforts had been rewarded and
that Richard Liner, alias Dick Hol-
land, wanted here for various check
transactions amounting to several
hundred dollars, had been appre-
hended in Tooele, Utah. and was be-
ing held pending the arrival of an
officer from Phoenix. Constable Jim
Murphy will leave today to bring
Liner back, particularly to answer to
a charge of passing a worthless
check for SIS on the management Of
also alleged to owe a board bill of
$3.50
Chorus girls, wine and automobiles
are said to have been the downfall
| of Liner, who came to Phoenix on
| April 3, with a carnival. He was a
piano player and made music for the
girl doing the Salome dance at the
carnival grounds. He made friends
| here and even went so far as to in
veigle a local surgeon into perform-
ing an operation upon a girl member
of his company, agreeing to stand
the cost thereof amounting to $3.50,
and neglecting to pay before he de-
parted. Several other checks than
those he passed at the Commercial
hotel, all drawn upon the bank OF
Jerome, bobbed up a day or two af-
| ter he left with insufficient funds
| endorsements.
| Detective Murphy in carrying on
| correspondence with his representa-
tives and operators in various Sec
tons learned that Liner is wanted
in Los Angeles, where Nick Harris,
detective, has a desire to lay hands
on him, in San Francisco and in
New Orleans. He is said to have
swindled a local automobile driver
out of $1O2 through the medium OF
a worthless check.
| Through the efforts of Deputy
Sheriff Fred Hawkins of Jerome

ply learned that Liner was in Ely
| Nevada. Before the authorities there
could lay hands on him, he had
gone into Utah Later he returned
| to Nevada and finally he went to
Tooele, Utah, where he was taken in
charge by Sheriff Phillip Aljeth, who
is holding him pending the arrival OF
Constable Murphy.

PHOEN|C|AN IN FIRE
At SOUTH PASADENA
Bishop Sanitarium Burned; Place
Well Known to Arizonians

Word was received in Phoenix yes
terday of the complete destruction
by fire on Saturday afternoon of che
great sanitarium at South Pasadena,
Cal. known as DR.. Bishops SAM
tarium,' which is quite well known
to Arizonians.
Details of the cause of the fire
are lacking but it is known that
every one in the building escaped
with all their belongings and that
most of the things of value owned
by the company were saved also.
The first word received here came
to Parker L. Woodman, from Mrs.
Woodman, who was staying in the
resort. She reported herself we'll and
everything saved. Later dispatches
confirmed the statement that all
had escaped without danger.

of blood"
For all the deadliness and power of
modern weapons, the horrors of
war are, thus, nothing like what
they used to be. What has hap
pened is this-the financial burden
is constantly heavier.
The engines of destruction of the
more, even in proportion to the
greater available wealth, than the
simple machines of the old days
Peace promoters accordingly now
a-days argue their case chiefly on
the economic side. The slaughter
land incidental cruelties and hard
ships are less weighty considera-
tons than formerly. But war is
appallingly wasteful-that is the APP
peal for finding other means to set .
tie controversies.
1t might not be any more assuring
if we could believe that the airship
and the science of military aviation
will some day become so efficient
that a battlefield could be swept
clear of troops by an attack from
above. For wars would then be
transferred to the air. But what
would then happen is indicated by
what happened in the Austrian ma
neuvers-mutual humiliation. And
that is the ideal, from the peace
makers point of view.-Providence

WARFARE IN THE AIR AND
EtEl n

The unique accident which has
cost the Austrian army the lives of
nine of its aviation specialists may
be taken as a fair example of what
warfare in the air would be like 1t
has often been suggested that the
only way to bring in the era of uni
versal peace would be to make war
unthinkably destructive. If a weapon
could be invented that would guar
antee the utter humiliation of both
ccmbatantS, that would be a con-
vincing argument for the expediency
Of abolishing war.
Every now and then what looks
like a weapon of that kind is pro-
duced. The machine gun is a ia
miliar type. 1t was hailed as promis-
ing an end of war. But such prom
lses have always been nullified by
mans ingenuity on the defensive side.
The machine gun may be capable
of moving down. whole regiments.
But as a matter of experience. moth
ing of the kind happens. The casual
ties in battle in fact, tend to de-
crease as more and more efficient
fighting machines are contcived, by
comparison with the ages when man
fought hand to hand; or. as was the
practice after the invention of gun
powder up to recent period, when
battle ranges We're no longer than
would permit one army to see the
whites of the enemys eyes.
Coincidently we have been "civiliz
ing warfare. Defenseless communi-
ties are no longer put to the sword,
OF sacked. Prisoners are not harmed.
The wounded are cared for as ten
derly by the medical corps of the
hostile army as by their own doctors
and nurses. A battle. or the war

NEW YORK, July 26.-Interesting
insight relative to the work of the
lig league baseball clubs is furnished
by the figures compiled for. the first
half of the present pennant season.
The data, While not official. is col
lected from the daily box scores and
for the purpose of comparison is suf-
ficient TO show the strength and
weakness of the sixteen clubs com =
posing the National and American
league circuits. Eliminating the
games won and lost, as shown in the
daily standing of the leagues, the
total number of runs, hits, errors and
left on bases are indicated for the
first three months of the season and
the resultant averages give a clear
idea OF the reason for the respective
standing of the teams.
In the National league the New
York Giants have scored $50 runs in
70 games. the average of hits being a
trifle under two per run, while the
error column shows a percentage of
about l ga per game. With the

than any other club in the senior as
sociatiOn. The Chicago club, playing
eight more games than New York,
has scored but one more run, eight
hits less and made fifty more errors,
in addition to having almost 100
more players left stranded on the
bases. The st. Louis Cardinals fig
ures indicate that while winning close
to 30 per cent of their games they
failed to score within fifty runs of
the leaders, although credited with an
equal number of hits. Next to Pitts

Thirty-two splendid specimens of
the genus equus were cast out of the
Standard Oil company's delivery ser
vice in Los Angeles the other day,
along with fourteen perfectly good tank
and delivery wagons that until then
had been a part of the same service.
What happened to these horses and
wagons was only incidental to more
important change having to do with
motor trucks. Eight more trucks had
been ordered by the company for its
Los Angeles agency. and upon delivery
they were assigned to duty in that
field where the horses and horse
drawn wagons were until then serv-
ing. 1t was planned that these eight
new trucks should do the same work

mediately proceeded to do that, and the
livestock was taken off the job.
Two years ago the Los Angeles
agency had but two motor tank trucks.
one for fuel oil and one for refined
product. Fifty horses were required
to haul the tank and delivery wagons
that then constituted the services roll
ing stock at this point. Today this
agency has nineteen motor trucks and
no horses for this last change elimi-
mates the horse from Standard Oil
company delivery service in Los An

REICHSTAG VOTES new WAR
CREDIT OF $3.50, 100000

Our latest ally in the war forced
upon us is the Ottoman Empire, which
we'll knows that if the German En-
pire were destroyed it, too, would lose
it's national right to arrange it's own
destiny. AS our enemies have formed
a powerful coalition against us they
will, l hope find that the arm of our
brave allies reaches the weak spots in
their world positions"
The Imperial Chancellor said that
the Reichstag had expressed the firm
resolution of the whole people to un-
dertake the great war, great deeds
had been accomplished and the in
comparable gallantry of the German
troops had carried the war into the en-
emy's country.
There we will stand firm" declared
the chancellor, and can regard the
future with every confidence. But the
enemy's resistance is not broken. We
are not yet at the end of our sacrifice.
The nation will continue to support
these sacrifices with the same heroism
as hitherto, for we must and will
fight to a successful end our defensive
war for right and freedom. We will
then remember how our defencless
compatriots in hostile countries were
maltreated. in manner which is a
disgrace to civilization. The world
must learn that none can hurt a hair
on the head of a German subject with
impunity.
TT is evident to US who is responsible
for this greatest of all wars. The ap-
parent responsibility falls on those in
Russia who ordered and executed the mo-
bilization of the Russian army; the real
responsibility falls on the British gov
eminent The cabinet at London could
have made the war impossible if it had
declared at st. Petersburg that England
would not allow continental war to de-
velop from the Austro-Servian conflict.
"Such a declaration would have obliged
France entergetically to restrain Russia
from undertaking warlike measures.
Then our action as mediator between St.
Petersburg and Vienna would have been
successful.
