THE RED LAKE BAR-
 BECUE GREAT SUCCESS

Over four hundred attended the event and all pronounce it the greatest entertainment ever held in this part of the state. Harmony prevailed throughout the day and night and everyone was glad that he was there And how it could happen on less than S15O.00is still a mystery to many. The secret of 1t all seems to be that it was not given as money making scheme but solely for a good time and to allow vis1torssto see the wonderful Red Lake Valley which promises to be the leading agricultural dis trict of Northern Arizona. Howsur- prised were many who live so near yet know so little about the rich ness Of the valley!
 Just before noon a large crowd gathered before a large gravel pit to see busy men dig the meat from four feet of gravel and dirt. The meat was placed there twelve hours before wrapped in brown paper and burlap. When dinner was an- nounced everyone seemed extreme. ly anxious to taste some of the meat barbecued in this way. How excellent! The unanimous consent was that no meat could be better prepared. It was the best they ever tasted. Thanks to Jack Kraft and E. J. Hinds who did the cooking. The pickles, bread, coffee and Mulligan stew were all excell- ent. There was plenty for all and more. Some of the luscious pack ages of meat were not opened.
 About one-thirty the speakers were called forward. L. s. Will jams, the Williams Post Master was first on the program. He held his listeners the full time with most excellent address. Next came Judge X. N. Sleeves who did jus tice to his subject and delighted the people present. Last was Sena tor Hugh Campbell, of Flagstaff. His address was short but appropriate and appreciated by all
 Next the crowd went to the race track to witness the races. The events and winners are as follows: Horse race-1 prize Mrs. McDanial
 2nd prize Joe McDanials Cigar Race Joe McDaniaIs Bucking Bronco Jack Houghton
 2nd Tom Bowdon
 3rd John Davis Burro Race-1st Dale McLeaa
 2nd Arthur Thomasson Mems Foot Race James Reid Boys Foot Race Art. Thomasson Woman's Foot Race
 Mrs. W. F. Thomasson Girls Foot Race Mable Moss Three Legged Race
 McDougal and Poison Then came some matched races. The winner of the boys race and the winner of the girls race ran. It was intensely interesting to see the little twelve year old Mabel Moss win the race.
 At this high pitch in the race event people from the crowd soon raised five dollars to get another race. It was to be given to any woman or girl present to beat Nab Ie Moss in race. In the line were some half dozen or more wo- men and girls. Miss Moss had a walk away. She came in leading midst wonderful applause.
 Last but not least at the race track was the bucking burro. It is certainly a wonder. Many say that this event alone was worth the trip. A cash prize was to be given to anyone who could ride the burro without saddle or bridle. Every cowboy present thought it an easy matter, but about the time he was ready to begin to ride he would find himself on the ground. A dozen or more tried it and some the second and third times yet

LONDON, April 22.-Glowing ac- counts of the strength and condition of the British army, given the house of commons by David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer and Harold Tennant, parliamentary secre- tary of the war office. have increased the enthusiasm of the people of Eng land According to the officials the output of ammunition next month will be twenty-five times what it was last September.
 Confidence in the cause which the allies are waging in Europe. Asia, and Africa was increased greatly by the accounts given by the chancellor and secretary. The frankness of the cabinet ministers in making known the number of men at the front and reports that reach London from vari- GUS sources have convinced the peo- pie that the last big effort against Germany and Turkey is about to com mence. Both in the Aegian and North seas there are signs of increasing ac- tivity. From today all steamboat com munication with Holland has been stopped by order of the British gov ernment Taken in connection with relys from Berlin that British sub land, where the German admiralty lays claim to having sunk one vessel and perhaps more, this is believed to fore shadow some movement in the North sea. The British are holding ten acionsly to Hill 60, near Ypres, which was captured Saturday and which the

Under Cross-Examination Frankly Admits ConfeIr- ing With Party Bosses to Preserve Unity of Re- publican Party
MORE EXAMINER
 THAN EXAMINED
In Five Hours on Witness Stand Proves Himself Oucstioner of Chief Coun- sel for Barnes on Many Subjects
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

SYRACUSE, April 22.-Theodore Roosevelt spent five strenuous hours under cross examination in the sup reme court today. He admitted with out hesitation that he verbally and lin writing discussed with 'bosses' the question of securing the nomination of governor of New York. He idenu- fled as being his letter he wrote Lemuel Quigg, of New York, the re publican leader. in whcih he ac quiesced in Quigg's assurances to former United States Senator Platt that he would, in the event of cleo tion, respect the senator's position as head of the . republican party and would consult him freely and fully on all important matters
 On several occasions the colonel was more the cross examiner than the cross examined. His eyes spark led behind his glasses and he would snap out a monosyllable in answer to ia question. and then proceed to make a statement on his account, and fin ally conclude with q query to Wm Wins, chief counsel for Wm. Barnes. who is suing to recover $50,000 from Colyonel Roosevelt for alleged libel.
 lNlIS HttilN dlWdNS ItllItu lo lIl't questions of the witness before re suming the examination, in a soft voice that was scarcely audible Tn the court room. Roosevelt testified that he conferred with Platt, the so- called "easy boss But he added that he did so with regard to the interests of the party with a genu inc desire to keep the republican
 .tu4.f. gal influences within that party. and prevent it from flying asunGer.'
 The colonel stepped from the stand at the end of the day amid roars of laughter that he had caused He had been answering questions and in cidentaily asking a few, about Platt's opposition to a bill in the New York legislature providing for a tax upon franchises. The witness told how he finally secured the passage of the bill against the wishes of Platt and other leaders of the republican or ganization Then he was asked whether on the final passage of the bill. which caused the break between himself and Senator Platt, he sent to the senator in Washington a tele- gram containing nothing but two words: 'Three Cheers" He solemn ly replied that he did not remember the telegram. Then he made grim face, smiled, slapped his thigh with his open hand and added But it was characteristic"

GERMANY WOULD DRIVE NEUTRAL
 SHIPS OFF SEAS
New Prize Rules Wbich Would Strike Death Blow at Commerce Between Nations Not Involved in War Are Reported
IAssocIATED PRESS DrsrArcHI

WASHINGTON, April 22-Press dispatches from Berlin today announc- ing important amendments of the Ger man prize rules were noted at the state department with some concern. While officials will await the text of these amendments before making statements for publication. the apprehension was expressed privately that if the new rules are correctly outlined in the dis patches, they mark a notable advance by Germany towards the absolute eX- clusion of neutral commerce from the high seas.
 This comes. it is pointed out. just at the moment when all the neutral powers have been bringing pressure to bear upon the allied powers to abate the severity of blockade rules and prize laws as embodied in the recent British ordes in Council. Of ficials are even more concerned over the reported new German rule that a ship with conditional contraband may be confiscated without regard to the consignee when the ship is destined for a neutral country from which the nations at war with Germany, may obtain conditional contraband arti-
 
 German naval craft are able now to navigate the open seas it is supposed that the enforcement of this rule will be accompanied by an assertion of the right to destroy ships and cargoes on the plea of inability to take them into port.
 A reflection of the views of the American government on the subject probably will appear in note to be addressed to Germany in regard to the case of the America Ship William P. Frye. sunk in the South Atlantic by the German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friederich
 The state department has for some time had under consideration the last German proposition to send his case before a prize court and to pay for the ship and cargo if the facts de- veloped were those stated in the United States note of complaint. Be cause a condition of acceptance of this offer is recognition of the continued existence in full effect of the old treaty of trade and commerce between

 "The Jews are even poorer than the Gertiles, because of the boycott against the Jews in part Poland before the war. Political and religions prejudice against the Jews also renders their condition worse. In parts of Poland evacuated on potato peels and garbage left by the enemy"
 The citizens" committee of Warsaw is the only large agency for affording relief to the refugees. Several hundred refugees from Poland who are well to do made their way to London by the way of Petrograd. Finland, Sweden and Norway. They brought terrible stories of the sufferings of the Poles in the ruined cities and the devasted country. The Russian government has been con- siderate of it's treatment of the Jews in the portions of Poland occupied by Russian troops. but the Jews are suf- fering greatly from persecution in that part of Galicia which Austria still holds, as Austria suspects all Poles of disloyalty. Communication with Po- land and Galicia is so difficult it was impossible for the world to learn inn ] mediately of the awful suffering there. "

ONE DEAD, ONE DYING,
 ANOTHER IS MESSING

 TUCSON. April 22-A sensational development in the Greatervile kill ing case took place last night when Sheriff Forbes of Pima county. swore out warrants for Deputy Sheriff Frank Moore and County Ranger Robert Renter charging them with murder. The deputies are now confined in the county jail without bail.
 The coronel's jury before Lincoln Robinson of Greaterville shows that the two officers arrested three MeXi- cans. members of the Leon family. took them to a lonely gulch, tied them hand and feet and then hung them to a tree and tried to make them give evidence of the whereabouts of Antonio Encinas charged with the murder of the aged widow YaneZ.
 Hilario Leon was found dead from strangulation Jose Maria Leon is dying from a horrible cut about the neck apparently made with a rope and is delirious from being left in the desert sun almost all day. Francisco Leon is missing and is thought to have cr1wled into the brush and died
 Two years ago the celebrated MeXi- can bandit Casanova killed YaneZ, q rich Mexican cattle owner of Greater vile and since that time many efforts have been made to steal cattle from his widow Two months ago the wi dow disappeared and Antonio Encinas produced q bill of sale of the cattle signed by her. Investigation proved that the widow was illterate and could not have made out the docu- mcnt
 t4 F 1vrs ina l but he slipped across the Mexican border which is only a few miles from Greaterville. Officers watched his house and ten days ago at mid night he appeared. When they tried to arrest him gun battle followed in which fifteen shots were exchanged. Encinas is supposed to have been wounded but got away.
 The sheriff sent three deputies to the scene with orders to take Encinas when he appeared again. Encinas is brother law of the Leon family and the two Leon brothers on Sunday got a drop on the officers and ordered them to leave the country. The of ficers waited their opportunity and when the three Leons were in the house together they arrested them
 On Monday evening in a lonely gulch five hundred yards from the home of Justice of the Peace Robin son they tied the hands and feet of the three men. then one by one hung them to an oak tree On Tuesday the deputies appeared at the home of the justice and asked Bertram Hitch. clerk of the board of supervisors, who was there with an automobile. to take them to the empire ranch. Here an automobile from Tucson brought them to this city. where they reported the killing of the MeXicans but refused to tell how it happened other than to intimate it had been done in self de- fense County Attorney Hilzinger, the county physician, the sheriff and the
