JONES WAITS BETTER
 PERSONAL USE CASE

PHOENIX, Sept 23.-In spite of the recent action of the superior court of Gila county in a personal use' li- quor case, Attorney General Wiley E.. Jones has notified all the county at- torneys of the state to continue to enforce the prohibition amendment without reference to whether the li- quor is introduced for personal use.
 Although notice of appeal has been filed in the Gila court, the attorney general stated yesterday that he did not expect to carry the case to the supreme court. A better complaint in which the question of the introduc- tion of personal use would be clearly defined would, he said, be taken into the supreme court for decision. And meanwhile, county attorneys, with the exception of the Gila county prosecu- tor, are instructed to stand pat and enforce the law, regardless of per sonal use" explanations.
 The case in question is brought by the state against Sam Yahura for in- troducing intoxicating liquor into Ari- zona.

BULGARIA NOT YET
 READY TO JUMP IN

LONDON, Sept 23.-The move which may solve the riddle in the Balkans -Bulgaria's mobilization - struck London with dramatic sudden ness. Afternoon newspapers refrain ed from comment, however. Neutral readers of these publications except for drawing their own conclusions in the large heads, would be none the wiser as to whether England regarded the developments preliminary to a victory for the central powers or mere ly another overnight turn of the Ser bian-Greece-Bulgarian negotiations.
 The consensus of opinion is that al though the Bulgarian army is on the move, Bulgaria has not yet cast in her lot with one side or the other, but is still neutral and waiting, but armed.

FRYE CASE PROTEST
SENT TO GERMANY
BernstOrff Recommends Reim-

Vessels Full Value.

Washington. Apri! THE American
note to Germany over the destruction
OF the William P. Frye by the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich has been sent 20 Ber-
lin. Acting Secretary Lansing Of the
State Department said to-day the note
would be made public here as soon as
It had had time to reach its destina-
ton.
The representations OF the United
States concern only the vessel and do
not discuss the cargo.
The note contends there was no jus
tifcation for the sinking of the Frye;
that a neutral vessel carrying a cargo
Of wheat, not confessedly contraband
was sunk when q release of the vessel
would have involved no vital conse-
quences to the Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
Il was learned that Count Won Bern
storff had recommended the reimburse
ment of the owners of the Frye for its
full value and since then officials of
the Washington government have as
sumed the case would be settled with
out difficulty.
