1t is believed that an amend
ment on woman suffrage will b,
submitted to the voters at tn,
1916 election. The Senate com
mittee has reported the amend
ment favorably and the Hous,
will do the same, judging by thu
talk.
The old Confederate soldier
will be pensioned, but a new list
of those who are to get pen.
sions will be made out. Only
those unable to make a living
will get on this list, and the pro-
vision relating thereto is quite
stringent. No able bodied Con.
federate can possibly draw a pen
sion under the new law intro
duced unless by deception.
The requirements are most ex-
acting. Nor will those already
getting pensions receive back
pay, the deficiency under the
1913 law being $186,OOO.
Two things are certain-the
two-cent passenger and maxi
mum freight rate laws now in
force will not be repealed this
session. The railroads over
played their hand when they pre-
pared the three kinds of petit
ions circulated in every county in
the state asking signers, plead
ing the roads were losing money.
The legislature demands a reduc-
ton Of the big salaries paid rail-
road officials and the ''sqeezing"
of the water out of railroad
stocks.
The bill to put the eleemosy-
nary institutions of Missouri un-
der the control of bipartisan
boards was properly killed by re-
fusing it's engrossment.
March 3 at 2 o'clock, what is
known as the Rural Credit Bill"
will be disposed of. This is said
to be the most beneficial meas
ure introduced this session. The
purpose of the bill is to provide
the means and instrumentalities
whereby state loans may be
made to tillers of the soil at the
least practicable cost. The states
money is to be loaned by what is
termed a bank commission, the
governor to be the head thereof.
As almost every kind of bill
imaginable has been introduced,
in order to complete the record,
some legislator should introduce
a bill prohibiting lying. A bill
of this character is especially
needed at election time, now
should it apply to any particular
class, but include the high, rich,
low and poor.
A bill allowing pay for stock
killed to prevent the spread of
infectious disease was engrossed.
This measure allows $40 for an
unregistered animal and 5000 for
blooded animals.
The first wet and dry" battle
was fought February "a, and the
"drys' had a walk-away. The
bill up was that to close all sa-
looms Of the state from II o'clock
at night till six o'clock in the
morning. The vote was SO dry
and AZ wet, with seven absent,
five of them dry. The drys have
the votes to enact any law they
want and if they don't get it the
drys will be to blame. The pub
lie peace, health and safety"
clause, as provided by the state
constitution prohibits a referen-
vote being submitted there
on. So on final passage all dry
measures will go into effect nine
ty days after the adjournment of
the legislature, or about the mid
lie of June. From the drastic
pills offered and sure of passage,
t looks as though Lexington's
vet block will bewiped out under
he 800 foot law preventing the
unning of a saloon within 300

promise that if foodstuffs are not detained when destined to her civ ilian population the submarine war fare on merchant ships will be aban- doned.
 The American proposals do not dwell on the attacks by German sub marines of enemy merchant ships. as in the position of the United States it is understood. would not permit interference in the mode of warfare adopted by the belligerents toward each other except where the lives of neutrals are placed in jeopardy.
 It is assumed. however, by officials that the promises made by Germany of an intention to abandon such war fare on merchant vessels and confine operations to enemy vessels carrying troops and munitions of war would be fulfilled if foodstuffs were to be given unrestricted passage to Germany.
 The details of the proposals, ii is felt here, can be readily arranged if there is a disposition on the part of both Great Britain and Germany to make concessions.
 The destruction of the American steamers Evelyn and Carib continued to be talked about in official quarters and while inability to fix the re- sponsibility for the accidents has re- moved for the present the danger of complications with belligerents the hope of the American government is that dangers from mines will be eliminated by an acceptance of some at least, of the American proposals

will begin winning pretty pronto and according to Captain Lyall, today is the time. Brown pitched like a whirl- wind in the last game but couldn't seem to last the whole nine innings. He has improved since then and is sure to pitch like a wiz, this afternoon. Lyall is playing stellar ball at short and for the last few days not q ball has gotten through him. Ladd is coming up fine behind the bat and with Evans at first, Goldberg at second. and Ellis at third, the Coyote infield is as fast as any in the valley.
 Mesa high has always had a crack team. These small town teams. where the boys grow up together from the first grade in the primary department to their last year in high school. are ai- ways sure to have good team work due to years of playing with practically the same players.

 It was announced last Tuesday that this game would be held at Riverside park but the Indian school kindly off cred the use of their grounds to the high school on which to play their games. This is a very good thing for both the school and the public as the ground, are the fastest in the state and then there is d twenty minute ser vice on the Indian school car instead of moving to ride on d jitney bus to Riverside.

WHEN AN ICEBERG coLLAPsEs

One of the main dangers in the proximity of an iceberg is its un
 known extent beneath the water. It is told that the passengers of q steamer on the Newfoundland coast successfully importuned the captain to aproach an iceberg for close in
 spection. While still apparently sui fciently distant for safety, some movement in the water or natural decay, acted upon the berg and It split apart. Instantly it began to readjust it's balance. The tremendous masses beneath the water steadily

FOURTH
 MOTOR SHOW
Automobile Men to Meet at Luncheon Today to Dis cuss March Exposition With Director Frederick D. Gnstln

An automobile show big enough and of such importance to merit the words fourth annual tackled onto the front of it's name, will be planned today by hy the automobile dealers of Phoenix, and Frederick D. Gustin, the Automo- bile Industrial exposition man. The motor car men and the show manager and others who are interested. will meet at luncheon at the Adams this noon.
 March g to 27, the Armory build ing will be filled with automobiles. while the usual and several unusual side stunts lend novel attractions to the stunt.
 The first automobile show was held four years ago in the then new bulld- ing about to be occupied by the Ari- zona Motor company on North First street. The year later, show was held in the new quarters of the south western Motor company on North Gen. tral avenue. The third show was held last spring at the old Savoy theater.

News Service.
ROME, July 23.-The question OF
peace or war between Italy and Turkey
now rests in the hands of Baron Son
nio, the Italian foreign minister
Following a cabinet council that
lasted nearly four hours, the ministry
gave the foreign minister full powers
to take any steps necessary to secure
satisfaction from Turkey for the illegal
use of the Italian flag.
Italy and Turkey are nearer a diplo
matte break than at any time since the
war began as result of the seizure OF
an Italian steamer, the misuse of the
Italian flag and the failure of the OF
toman government to answer the pro
tests of the Italian ambassador at
Constantinople.
The latest incident affecting the
Turko-Italian relations was fully dis
cussed by the cabinet. According to a
report from the Italian ambassador at
Constantinople, the Turks after seiz
ing the Italian steamer Mondello used
it as a transport in the sea of Mar
mora, keeping the Italian flag flying
to insure immunity from the Angle
French fleet at the Dardanelles The
Italian ambassador protested against
the seizure and misuse of the Italian
flag; but no attention was paid to the
protest.
