"DRY LEADER UP
 HOLDS LAW OF PERSONAL LIBERTY
General Secretary of Temperance Federation of Arizona Says Amend ment Does Not AssaiI Personal Rights.

1 BISBEE, July 14.-The Bisbee Daily Review has received from A. R. Bucknam, General Secretary of the Temperance Federation of Arizona, a letter announcing his position as to the Interpretation of the Prohibition Amendment adopted at the last cleo tion. Mr. Bucknam will be recalled throughout the Warren District as we'll as throughout the State as the temperance leader who formed the Political Victory clubs in Cochise county and otherwise contributed to the victory of the temperance move ment in Arizona.
 It was the heavy vote for temper ance in MT. Bueknam's field which turned the tide for the @'drys." In recognition of his success,he was pro- noted to the General Secretaryship of the Federation in this State. His letter follows:
 "The settlement of the liquor ques- tion has only just commenced. The people voted to get rid of the saloon not because they wanted to quit drinking, although some of them did, but because they wanted to get rid of it's political influence and, most of all, because of its sociability which leads to excessive drinking. Prohibition has been and will be the most effective method of destroying the manufacture and sale of liquor for personal profit, but education is far more successful in destroying the traffic for personal use. Prohibition in Arizona and seven teen other states has put the saloon out of business, but prohibition will not put the bootlegger out of business. It will take administration back of the law to do that, and administration does not mean officers only, but it means organized society led by the officers and backed up by the press, business men, organized labor and the church.
 ''The interpretation given to the law by those in power to enforce the same makes it very important that, if
  so that the railroads may ship into the state, under strict regulation, al- coholic liquor for legitimate use and contend that legitimate use in- cludes personal use.
 Yet I am satisfied that when the courts interpretate the law in Arizona 1t will need no amendments to intro duce liquor into the state for legiti- mate use, and we wait with patience and much interest the action of the Supreme Court of Arizona.
 The Temperance Federation of Arizona desires the cooperation in the further settlement of this ques- tion of all who seek the destruction of the liquor traffic as now operated in the United States. Any sugges- tions or criticism will be appreciated.
 Help US to come 70 the right con- clusions that we may serve you to the very best advantage and thus keep the saloon from ever returning to blight and curse the citizens of Ari- zona.
 Whatever the courts may do we shall endeavor to find out your wish es and proceed to organize in order to introduce such legislation or amSndment that may meet with yur approval.
 "A R. BUCKNAM,
 General Sec. Temperance

COMETS APPEAR OFTEN
DURING WAR PERIOD
In Light Of Ancient Superstition,
Astronomers Have Recently Been
Calculating Number.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
BERLIN, July 10.-In the light of the
ancient superstition that comets, par
ticularly an unusual number of them,
presage disaster and war, astronomers
have recently been calculating the num-
Der that have made their appearance
from late in 1913 until the present time
They have been unusually frequent, ap-
parently, from which fact the super
stitious are taking comfort.
The real war comet" says the as
tronomers, was that of Delevan, dis
covered by him in December, 1913. This
body was of unusual size and bril-
liancy, and at its zenith could be made
out with the naked eye. 1t disappeared
early this year, and probably will not
be seen again for six or seven years
The astronomers caution against TAX
ing this as an indicat ton that the war
will last that long.
One of the first to be seen in 1918 was
"Encke's comet" which first was noted
in 1886, but not definitely placed until
1918. 1t makes its appearance once
every three and third years, but in
1914 was late. Close on the heels of this
expected guest" came some that were
not expected. however.
May 16, 1914. Rudolph Paetz reports,
Zlatinsky discovered a comet-like star,
possessing the brilliancy of a star of
1875 magnitude. 1t was given the name
of Nenjmin. Then came the Knitting
comet Of comparatively little brilliancy,
and then Campbelrs comet was an
nounced from America. The first comet
of 1915 was that of Mellish, also dis
covered in America. which first APP
peared as star of the tenth magni-
tude, and attained it's maximum in June
with a magnitude of fourth-class
star.

Eludes His Searchers.

Thomas Johnson, colored, who was
arrested last week and sent to Wash

tions as to his mental condition, es-
capped from that institution at an early

Johnson was arrested near the north
end of Aqueduct bridge one night last
week upon his return from a trip
across the river. He had pieces OF
harness and wearing apparel in a sack,
the police say, and when taken to the
station his conduct suggested that he
was irresponsible.

GEN. HUERTA APPEALS
. TO CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE
Alleges Home Violated Without
Scruple by q. s. Attorney
Generals Agents.

Ell PASO. Tex, July 27.-Gen. Huerta,
awaiting trial here on charge of con-
spiracy to violate American neutrality,
yesterday tetegraphed to Chief Justice
White, of the United States Supreme
Court, asserting that his home here
had been violated by agents of Ameri-
can justice without scruple" and de-
handing guarantees for his family.
1t was after Huerta had been taken
for visit to his family that he made
his protest. Two agents of the De-
partment of Justice, Clifford Beckham
and E. P. Stone, went through the
house before the arrival Of the prisoner
to ascertain If there were any men
other than members Of his family pres
ent, and remained in the room with
Huerta during his conversations with
Mrs Huerta. their daughter and other
members Of his family
Huerta received his wife and children
at Fort Bliss upon their arrival recent
ly from New York. but this was the
first opportunity he had had to see
them In their new home The deputy
in charge at the fort acceded to his re-
quest to be permitted to make the
call, but asked the Department of JUS
tice agents to be present.
Mrs. Huerta Complains.
Mrs. Huerta made no objection to an
examination of the house by the de-
partment agents, who searched it be-
fore Huerta had left Fort Bliss How
ever, Mrs. Huerta later complained to
her husband, and he protested earnest
ly to Beckham and Stone, claiming tina
the children had been unduly fright
ened.
Shoot me. If you like. ] am a pris-
oner. and you may do what you like
with me- he said, but do not modest
my wife and children"
The agents asked Huerta to be more
specific as to which child had been
frightened, and how, but he was evas-
i've, adding:
Really, 1T was not that so much They
were frightened, but the entire Incl
dent has been humiiiating to me- 1t
has hurt my feelings"

Secretary Cellarius continued:
Shows Thrift of People.
considering the fact that this period
included nearly six months of the great
war in Europe, during which time there
also existed in this country an indus
trial depression more or less severe,
this showing speaks volumes for the
thrift and saving habits of the wage
earning classes of our citizens who are
the chief patrons OF these institutions.
The hard times apparently have
stimulated an enforced economy, have
required a reduction of unnecessary
expenses. which In times Of great
prosperity are usually on the increase.
