REPUBLICAN PLANS DOWN
IN KENT COUNTY.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: Not without reason has con-
siderable discussion taken place in
regard to political conditions in the
Tenth Representative district of
Kent county. The death of DR.. Mar
shall was a severe blow to the local
organization and predictions were
freely made that Republican dis
organization and defeat would follow.
That these prophets of evil were
merely making "The wish father to
the thought" has been strikingly
borne out by developments of the past
few months.
AS early as May 16, a meeting Of
County Committeeman ID. Frank Mar
vel and James Davis, who will, by the
way, be returned TO the County Com
mittee. and district workers. was
held in the Office OF c. Chester Mar
shall. and the question OF selecting
n successor TO Dr. Marshall was dis
cussed and the names of five men
tentatively proposed These were Col
onel Theodore Townsend. Frank
Reed. S. j. Abbott, John w. Herring
and Frank Davis. After due con-
sideration IL was unanimously decided
that John w. Herring. owing to his
close association with DR.. Marshall,
familiarity with his policies, and
knowledge OF organization of this dis
trict, be selected for the post. That
their choice was based upon solid
considerations is readily apparent. A
graduate Of Delaware College. well
read, Of wide business experience,
director of the First National Bank
and president of the Building and
Loan Association, and with a mind
broadened by extensive travel in
America and Europe, Mr.. Herring
occupies a position of substantial dis
tinction IN the community. Added
TO this, his experience as delegate
to the Constitutional Convention, jury
commissioner for Kent county and
member OF the County School Com
mission. makes OF him a man pecu-

they did, gripped the attention OF the

Choate adopted for prevailing with
the jury, as he usually did. But as a
matter Of fact no advocate was ever
more painstaking in preparing an ad-

He usually put upon paper the out

The company is said to have un-

Mr.. Gumm is to be the general

years. He is known to be sales

Forest Service
Saves Millions
In Fire Losses

To prevent fires if possible, and
to nip the unpreventable ones in
she bud, is the keynote and aim OF
modern fre-fghting organizations
and the guiding principle Of fire
fighting plans on the national for:
ests.
Each year the forest service is
drawing closer the net Of tele-
phone lines, trails, lookout towers
and tool caches which it is hoped
will ultimately absolutely control
the fire menace in our public tim>
Der lands.
An example of responsibility
and negligence, in strong contrast
to the system and science Of the
United States Forest Service in the
matter of forest fires is furnished
just across the Mexican border,
says the Douglas International,
where great fire has for weeks
been eating the timber off Of the
San Jose mountains. In so far as
is known Mexican public officials
have made no effort to check or
extinguish it. Clouds of smoke
by day and the glow Of advancing
flames by night have been plainly
visible from Naco and other border
towns. It is said that more than a
million feet Of timber has been de-
stroyed. This is the same as say
ing that hundred potential homes
have gone up in smoke, and that
government forestry is a necessary
form of national insurance:

Fenter and Moore
Found Guilty of
Murder I'd DeQ.

Robert Fenter and Frank P.
Moore, deputy she1iffs of Pima
county, who have been on trial
at Tucson for the hanging of Hill
ario Leon at Greatervi1le, we're
found guilty of murder il the sec
ond degree by the jury Thursday
afternoon. The defendants were
recommended to the mercy of the
court.
Judge Smith of Yavapai county,
before whom the trial was heard,
announced that he will pronounce
the sentence Monday. The mini
mnm sentence for murder in the
second degree is ten years. Attor-
ney Wright for the defense an :,
.nOunced that a motion will be made
for new trial, the argument for
which will be made today.
In the Jose Maria Leon case the
defendants will ask for a continu-
ance. In the event the motion for
the new trial is refused the defense
will appeal to the supreme court.
The defendants took the verdict
stoically.
A certificate of reasonable
doubt will be asked 50 that the de-
PENDANTS can be admitted to bail,
and in the event it is refused, an
application will be made Monday
to the supreme court of the state
for the certificate.
In submitting the case Of Robert
Fenter and Frank P. Moore to the
jury, the Court gave instructions
which permitted Of a verdict OF
SECOND degree murder. Judge
Smith said: "If the evidence does
not convince you beyond a reason
able doubt that the defendants are
guilty Of the crime of murder Of
the first degree, it will then be
your duty to consider whether the
evidence convinces you beyond a
reasonable doubt that the defend
ants are guilty Of the crime OF
murder of the second degree. In
case you SO find, it will be your
duty to return such a verdict. You
have nothing to do with the pun
ishment in case you so find"

COChiSe County
Bond Issue
Association

Cochise County Road Bond Issue
Association had meeting yester-
day in Bisbee in furtherance
of the plan to put the issue before
the voters of the county. It is un-
derstood that the next step will be
a meeting of the entire association,
the time and place of which will be
made known shortly. Then will
follow the circulation Of the petit
ton calling for the election.
The Review of yesterday morn
ing says of the proposed meeting:
When the special committee Of
the Cochise County Road Bond Is.
sue Association meets at I o'clock
this afternoon, at the office of Sec
retary Jos. H. Gray, Of the Warren
District Commercial Club, for the
purpose of preparing a report on
the general trunk line, County En-
gineer Ryan will present map
showing mileage very much re-
duced from that indicated by the
requests presented here last month
by the representatives Of the var
ious districts.
The system outlined by Engineer
Ryan contains less than 500 miles
of roads. 1t was apparent to all
the delegates at the last meeting
that the demands for 7o6 miles of
highways were excessive, and
would require an amount for con-
struction which the voters of Co.
chise county would be unwilling to
endorse. 1t was for the purpose
of working out a road system that
would moet the most urgent de-
mands and at the same time be
such as could be built for sum in
reason that this committee was ap~
pointed.
So far as is known, all members
of the committee, with the excep-
ton of the delegate from San
Simon, will be present. 1t is not
assured that the county engineers
system will be adopted without
change. It is quite possible that
seme other roads may be added by
the committee, That his system
will be cut is unlikely, for his map
at his office shows little or nothing
that could be eliminated.
The date of the general meet
ing probably will be left to the
Douglas representatives, except
that the matter Of assuring suf-
6cient time for sending notices to
the representatives Of the 10 road
districts and for their preparations
for making the trip to the Smeltel
City will be suggested, It seems
probable, however, that such g
meeting will be held early mex
month.
Following this meeting the
county engineer will go over the
different sections with the distric
representatives and estimate the
costs. When this is done, fna
meeting of the asso citation can bt
held, at which will be determined
the actual amount which the coun
ty will be asked to vote.
In regard to this matter the Pros
pector has to say: cat the presen
time no one can say what the
amount of the issue will be. NJ
guesses or so,calIed estimates hav'
even been suggested by the Asso-
citation, and no one should form
any judgment on the matter unit
they see what is to be offered in the
bond issue, which will cover the
exact roads proposed. The condi
tions under which they will be bull
and every detail will be covered, Sc
that there will be no guessWork. Il
is the intention of the Association
to profit by the past, and if the
bond issue carries it is to be sc
safeguarded that we will get rea
roads rio htlv constructed -
