WILL ENFORCE
 NINE HOUR LAW
Labor Commissioner Clary States He Will be Governed by Common Sense in Enforcement of the
 Wage Law For Women.

Little Rock, April 28.-J. C.. Clary Commissioner of Labor, announces that beginning next Saturday he proposes to see that the nine-hour feature of the minimum wage law for women is enforced. It is estimated that it will affect about two thousand employees in Little Rock, but principally as to their work on Saturday.
 q am going to enforce the nine hour law" said MT. Clary, "but as to the enforcement of the strict provi- sions of the law in other respects, at the present time, 1 propose be gov erned by common sense and the best interests of all concerned. It shall be my endeavor to harmonize all in terests. If rigidly enforced,it would throw several hundred girls out of em- ployment, and do not believe any one desires this to be done. It shall be my policy, and 1 believe I shall have the support of my colleagues, to make a thorough investigation of all special cases that come to our atten- tion, and determine, as provided ty the law, what minimum wage is just"

MAY EXTEND
 TIME UNTIL MAY PEST

Little Rock, April 28.-Gov. Hays has advised about a dozen sheriffs of the state that they may extend the time for the payment of taxes until some time in May. Similar exten- sions would have been granted any other sheriff that should apply. The letter written to the sheriffs who have applied for an extension of taxes is as follows:
 "You may extend the time for the payment of taxes from April 10 to such time in May as will give you time to make up your delinquent list and publish the lands that are to be sold, and I will protect you,
 "Should the clerk or State Auditor charge you up with any penalties. I have already notified a number of sheriffs that if they felt inclined to extend this time, if either the Clerk or the Auditor should attempt to collect any penalties I would issue a procla- nation relieving him."

FAMOUS LIBERTY
 BELL AT EXPOSITION
l.. Carried from Philadelphia Af- "n ~ 1rdependence Day Celebra- '" .;.n to San Diego and San
 Francisco for Exhibition

G., n;ego. April 2s.-In all pro- liability @ visitors to the San Diego Ex' : Vss Vss;,;on in the late summer will have ySs Iss onnortunity to see the famous Lib srtv rt B Bell, which it is planned to bring from tr% philadelphia to the Pacific coast .,, .,, exbibiti at both the San Francisco .,d San Diego Propositions.
 n 0nposition in some quarters, due to fear that the priceless relic of rev outionary days might be injured in t,.rsit has been about overcome, and the Philadelphia city council has ap- nroved the idea, insisting, however, that the trip be made after July 4, when Philadelphia's annual 1ndepen- dence Day celebration requires the bell Most of the patriotic societies fool that the best ends will be ad- vanced by exhibiting the relic to the vast throngs who will be at the Expo Stions during the summer-a patriot ic stimulus in a year when patriotism is already inspired by California ach- ievement.
 "The Liberty Bell announced the in- dependence of the United States" re- marks President G. A. Davidson. Tt is appropriate that it be honored in San Diego, where the history of the Pacific coast of the United States started. Cabrillo, the discoverer, made his first stop here. More than two hundred years later the first per manent settlement on the coast was made, and again San Diego was the site"
 The Exposition, civic societies and the schools are cooperating in mak- ing arrangements for the celebration of the bells arrival. It is planned to have every school child of Southern California in the parade of welcome and to open the Exposition to school children for at least one day of the bells stay at the grounds. It will also be the occasion of another mammoth review of soldiers, sailors and marines, echpSing the two spectacles already held, at the opening and on Vice Pres ident's Day.

INTEREST IN PROSPECTS
RAY EXTENSION COMPANY

Interest is running high in new
mining enterprises in the Ray distric..
The Ray Extension Copper Mining
company have a force at work grad
ing a road to the shaft so that the
heavy hoist and air compressor can
be easily transported. The shaft is
being unwatered and generally things
look bright for the future of this COM
pany. They already have a large
quantity of high grade shipping ore
on the dump and early shipments will
be made. The local demand for stock
in this company gives assurances of
the confidence entertained in this
proposition by the people of this dis
trict and there appears now to be no
doubt that this company will make
good.
There is no reason why numerous
other properties should not be opened
and money could easily be secured for
the financing of any mining group in
the Ray district that has even a fair
showing on account of the good name
the Ray mining district has in the
mining world.

NUMBER ONE TEAM
WILL COMPETE FOR
The FRISCO PRIZE

The No. l Ray Consolidated Shaft
Team which tied the surface team of
the Ray Consolidated company in the
statewide first aid contest recently
held at Bisbee will be sent to San
francisco to represent the state of
Arizona in the national first aid con-
test The Copper Camp hopes, as do
all the people of Ray, that the boys
will distinguish themselves in this
event, and first place is none too good
for them.
The Ray Con. company rendered the
members of the teams which went to
Bisbee chicken dinner at the Del
Monte Cafe recently, at which the
following guests were present:
Lyle Nash, Leo WALL John Lane,
Ed Lilly, Chas. Bergstrom. Warren

The dinner was served at o'clock,
and after having partaken of the
scrumptious dinner the boys devoted
the evening to telling stories and re-
counting their experiences of the re-
cent trip.
They were all very praiseworthy of
their treatment at the hands Of the
Southwestern Mine Safety association,
and especially of the general man
ager, Mr.. Gates, who has made it pos
sibie for the teams from Ray to work
themselves up from a very hard
struggle for an existence to cham

DIDN'T TELL HALF STORY
TO CHICAGO ABOUT RAY

Whoever w. T. r. might be and
failed to tell the people of Chicago,
or at least those who are readers of
the Chicago Tribune, one -hundredth
part of what could be told concerning
Ray. He only told the bad things,
and evidently must have had his
crouch on for several days, for he
also refers to an incident at Clifton
which excited his nerves.
Here is the item which appeared in
ting Ray. Arizona, on the Map:

his shattered wine-jug. Only, Omar
would not like Arizona today. 1t is

"One is disappointed to find that
centipedes have only 16 pairs of legs.
A husky one was sleeping in towel
the other night at Clifton, and was
dislodged by the writer's carelessness;
after being knocked out with mon
key wrench, the writhing thing was
checked up-only 80 feet w. T. R."
How much better would it have
been and of how much more conse-
quence and interest to the readers of
the Chicago daily had w. T. r. told
them of the wonderful values the

CHANGES IN POSTAL
SERVICE NOW EFFECTIVE

- With the beginning of September
the postal department of the govern
ment has made several radical changes
in the parcels post division, of which
the local postmistress, Mrs. Grace
Moorman, reports as follows:
Fourth class mail should not be
registered, but may be insured against
loss in an amount equivalent to it's
actual value, but not to exceed $500
in any one case, on payment of a fee
of three cents; not to exceed $25.00
on payment of fee of five cents;
not to exceed $4,000 on payment of
a fee of ten cents, or not to exceed
$4,000 on payment of a fee Of twen-
ty-five cents, in addition to the post
age, both to be prepaid by stamps af-
fixed; but indemnity will not be al
lowed in case of loss of such mail
addressed to the Philippine Islands
unless the loss occurs in the postal
service of the United States.
"On and after September /, 1915,
the postmaster at the mailing office
may, on payment of one cent, give
the sender of an ordinary parcel post
package of fourth class mail receipt
therefor. A postage stamp to cover
the charge for the receipt shall be
affixed thereto. The name and ad-
dress of the addressee of the parcel
shall be written in the receipt by the
sender.
For delivery within the first and
second zones, five cents for the third
pound or fraction Of a pound, and
one cent for each additional pound or
fraction Of a pound, except where the
distance by the shortest regular mail
route from office of origin to the
office of delivery is 800 miles or more,
in which case the rate of postage
shall be six cents for the first pound
or fraction of pound and two cents
for each additional pound or fraction
of pound.

ViHalobo Must Hang
Says Supreme Court
Appeal Taken to Save His Neck, Judges Say Is Friv
olous and Without Merit-Court at Florence Will
Have to Resentence Murderer

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 17.-The su-
preme court today handed down a de-
cision in the matter of the appeal
from judgment rendered by J. e.
'O'Connor in Pinal county in the Ra-
mon Villalobo case. Villalobo was
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree and an appeal was taken, which,
by the order of the court today, was
dismissed. The court characterized
the action as pretended appeal and
refused to take jurisdiction.
Villalobo will now be resentenced
by the superior court of Pinal county.
On May 28 he was sentenced to be
hanged. The opinion of the supreme
court in full is as follows:
.Ramon Villalobo was convicted of
the crime of murder in the first de-
gree. The jury selected to try the
case, after hearing the evidence pro-
duced and the law as given by the
court pronounced him guilty, apa in
the exercise of the discretion> sted
in the jury by the law of this state,
said that the said Villalobo shall suf-
fer death as the punishment for his
crime. In accordance with the YER
dict the trial court rendered it's judg-
ment, and sentenced the prisoner to
suffer the death penalty. This pre-
tended appeal is from the final judg-
ment of conviction. The law of this
state provides that an appeal in such
cases must be taken within sixty days
after the rendition of such judgment
The record here presented shows that
no effort was made to take an appeal
until more than seven months had
elapsed after said final judgment OF
conviction.
"The right to appeal is purely a
creature of the statute, and where ar
appeal is not taken within the time
prescribed by the law this court, OF
course, acquires no jurisdiction, anC
the judgment of the lower court be-
comes final and conclusive. This is
so well understood by both the bench
