LEGISLATURE IS INTERESTED
IN FLORENCE PROCEEDINGS

reprieves had been granted for nine
weeks. Surprise gave way to indig-
nation when the news was confirmed.
Only the night before the senate
had adopted resolutions expressing as
delicately as possible, the confidence
of that body in the board Members
of the house, though that body had
taken no action on the governors
communication, had prepared a strong
statement or resolution, commencing
the action of the board thus far. II
had received the signatures of eight
cen, more than a majority of the
members. But when it was learned
that the board had rescinded its
former action and had disregarded
the declarations of its members. it
was resolved to destroy the resolu-
ton which it had been intended to
present to the board
The Reprieves
Governor Hunt. late in the after
noon, acting promptly on the recon-
mendation of the board issued a
proclamation of reprieve to all of the
five men for the full time recon-
mended, nine weeks, which will ex-
pire on July 30. He disregarded the
suggestion of the board that he
should reprieve the men to different
dates in order that the orgy of
blood" to which the governor had
frequently alluded might be avoided.
Finding of Judge SawteIIe
A resident of Phoenix who return
ed late last night from Tucson at
tended the hearing of the applications
for writs of habeas corpus before
Judge Sawtelle yesterday. He said
that there was never moment when
the court appeared in doubt as to his
duty in the matter before him. He
complained that the attorneys pre-
senting the applications had suggest
ed nothing on which they might be
based. He especially advised them
against the application for an appeal
which he was later compelled to deny.
The court also deprecated in guarded
language the whole movement for the
relief of the condemned men. They
could not be saved under the law and
though he did not say so directly,
Judge Sawtelle regarded as unwise
any effort which could only result in
prolonging their agony.

Interest in the situation at Florence
among the Spanish speaking popula-
tiOn of Phoenix was shown yester-
day afternoon. when, a few hours
after the receipt of the word that
the board of pardOns and paroles
had recommended a reprieve for the
five condemned men, the Liga Pro-
tectora Latina had hundreds of dodg-
ers on the streets with the news that
the mems lives were spared. The
papers. which were issued as an eXtrI
edition of FL M9najero. a local pa
Fer. were quickly snapped up and
read with great interest by the
NeXicans.
In commenting on the action of
the board, the paper says: This is
especially a triumph for the Liga

that its efforts and sacrifices have
not been in vain. From the mo-

BERLIN, May 2S.-The foreign Of
flee and admiralty, still without news
concerning the reported torpedGing of
the American steamship Nebraskan,
deprecate all discussion of the possi-
BILE effect on the German American
negotiations, pending authoritatiy c
confirmation Of the attack on the ship.
German new spapers have printed
nothing about the NebTaskan incident
since the first Rotterdam dispatches
reporting the ship was torpedoed and
that she was still afloat with her crew
safe.
The torpedoing of the steamship
Guflight is now established as due to
German submarine. the report of
the commander of the submarine in
question having been received by the
admiralty. The commander stated
when he first saw the Gul1light she
was being conveyed by two patrol
boats and he concluded she must be
a British ship or carrying coatraband.
The presence OF the patrol boats. the
commander reported, rnade closer in
vestigation dangerous.
The main points of the German re-
ply to the american note on the sink
ing of the Lusitania are probably
known to the administration at Wash
ington now, so that the note itself,
which il is expected viii be delivered
tomorrow, will not come as an apso-

dor had daily conferences with the

German answer was discussed. Ad-

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-An inter-
national high commission consisting of
nine members each from an American
nation was suggested to the Pan
American financial conference as a
means by which uniformity of laws
among western nations may be secured.
The suggestion was made by n COM
mittee of delegates headed by John
Bassett Moore, former counsellor of
the state department, John Hays Ham
mond and Gov. Chas. S. Hamlin of
the federal reserve board.
Another step toward the improve
ment of business and financial rela-
tions between the Americas was taken
when delegates of the southern repub-
lies unanimously approved a resolution
calling upon the business and CONNER
cial interests of the United States to
unite within the next six months in
naming a delegation to visit all the
Central and South American countries.
Members of this delegation, the reso-
luton proposed, will be guests of the
various nations and will be received
by the governments, chambers of COM
nerce and Industrial organizations.

governments accredited to the United
States Will be asked to aid in fOrmu-

Mexican Civilians
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The pres
ident has decided to serve notice on all
warning factions in Mexico that condi-
tions in that country have become in
tolerable, and that unless they, them
selves compose the situation soon, some
other means may have to be employed
to accomplish the result. The first In
timation of the presidents determina-
ton to take this step came in an APP
peal issued as head of the American
Red Cross, setting forth that due to
several wears of internal disturbances
unfortunate people in many parts OF
Mexico are reduced to the verge of
starvation and urging contributions to
relief funds.
Later the White House gave out the
following:
When the presidents appeal for aid
for MeXicans was issued it was also
stated at the executive offices that
statement from the president on the
present situation in Mexico might be
expected within the next few days"
This statement has been prepared, and
will be issued after the cabinet meet
ing Tuesday and then communicated
to the leaders of all the Mexican fac
presidents forthcoming pronouncement
as not meaning immediate intervention
as they emphasized the word fmme-
diate'. The impression in executive
quarters was that one purpose would
be to place the responsibility for the
present state of affairs squarely upon
the military clements of the southern
republic, which have OVerrun the coun-
try. appropriated its food supply or
precented tilling the soil While anxious
to continue the policy of allowing Mex
leans to settle their differences without
outside interference, the president said
he would be determined that civilian
population of the country should not
be starved in the meantime.
Talk of Intervention which has been
dormant ever since the European war
diverted attention from the situation
nearer home, was Immediately revived
bv the White House statement. Many
diplomatists who interpreted the days
events as a fOrerunner of a new policy,
thought Intervention the inevitable
outcome of the situation and that the
United States is paving the way to such
action by notifying the world of lis

LEGISLATURE ENDS WORK HERE

The first extra SESSION of the leg
islature adjourned sine die at 615
Yesterday afternoon. The second
extra session will be convened OF
Tuesday morning, but the real work
of the session Will probably be
transacted at Prescott 1t has been
stated by members of the supreme
court ana by the attorney general
that there is nothing in the laws to
prevent that procedure, and it IS
further stated that the governor is
not averse to it.
Unless there is a change of senti-
ment with respect to this matter,
on convening. the house and senate
will adopt concurrent resolution
that the houses assemble at Pres
colt in the committee of the whole,
and when the work of the committee
has been finished the members will
return to Phoenix, the committee
will report to each house, and the
report will be acted upon.
1t was said yesterday that thirteen
members Of the senate favored this
program and a majority of the
members of the house. If the legs
islature moves to the city that is a
mile HiSH, the Fins tludIleIS, COu-

There was little for the legislature
to do on the final day. There was

preparation in the office of the state

BERLIN, MAY SIT is understood
that Germany's reply to the Amer

marine warfare which Will be deliv-
cred to the American ambassador to-
morrow, will be furnished the Ger
man press on Sunday for publication.
While high officials scrupulOusly
avoided comment it was evident they
are loath to believe the German gov
crnment had underestimated the in
tense feeling of the American people
on the Lusitauia disaster with a loss
OF more than 100 american lives, or
would seek to delay the reparation

Count Won Berustcrff. the German

ports that he had sent wireless mes
sages to the German foreign office,
declaring the American press is be-
coming impatient over the delay in
sending the German reply. and that
the Nebraskan incident had aggra-
waited the situation. Secretary Bryan
said that Amba ssadcr Gerard had

OF greater interest to members of
the legislature than any pending le-
gislation was the speculation yester-
day as to the outcome of events at
Florence. Soon after members met
at ten o'clock inquiry was made con-
cerning any information from the
state prison. When a little after one
o'clock word was received that Fed
eral Judge Sawtelle had denied the
application for writs of habeas corpus
for the five condemned men, and
when still later, word was received
that he had also denied appeals in
their behalf, there were evidences of
relief in the chambers and the cor
ridors of the statehouse and when
still later. word came that the board
of pardons and paroles had recon-
mended reprieves. members refused to

ROME, May 2S Official reports
from the front show that Lieut-Gen-

is attempting TO carry out a well

of important points in the Alps along
the Giudicarie chain of the Lessini
mountains and in the Sugapa Valley,
and the Carnic Alps. This maneuVer
if accomplished, would place the

Success of German Under
water Craft III Attacks
on British Fleets Makes
Officials Realize Danger
from German Increase
MORE BRITISH
BOATS SUNK
Cadeby and Spcnnymoor
Go Down, While Liner
Argyllshire is Fired Upon
But Succeeds in Making
Her Escape
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHI

LONDON, May 2S.-The success Of
the German submarines in the attacks
on the British fleet supporting the ar
my on the Gallipon peninsula. which
resulted in the sinking of the Triumph
and Majestic, with the ever increasing
activity of these boats in the waters
around the British Isles, and the threat
to carry the underwater warfare to the
Suez Canal, while they have not
caused any great uneasiness in naval
circles, have brought the officials to d
realization of the great danger that eX-
lists if Germany is able to largely in
crease her fleet of "U" boats.
Today came reports of the sinking OF
the British steamers Cadeby and
Spennymoor. the Swedish bark NJ.
Roosvalt and the statement that the big
liner Argyllshire had been chased and
fired upon by an under-sea boat, but
succeeded in escaping, reaching Havre.
Trade to and from British ports goes
on as though no submarine danger and
it is stated there will be no Interrupt
tion of operations in the Dardanelles.
The fleet there will have to assist the
army taking the chances of destruction
from submarines, mines and shell fire.
The Turks probably will have another
invasion to meet before long. Unoffi-
cial reports tonight state that the Ital-
ians have landed on the Island Of
Rhodes. off the coast of Asia Minor,
While a cruiser is bombarding Bedrum.
on the Gulf of Kos and the mainland
of Asiatic Turkey, not far from Rhodes.
There is little change in the situation
on the eastern and western fronts.
The latest Italian move is believed
to be the first step in an attempt to
land on the Asia Minor coast. The
Italians claim to have made further ad-
vances into Austrian territory in Ty-
rOl. Trentino and Istria but no import
ant battle has yet been fought in this
southwestern theater of war.
The Austrians and Germans claim to
have made a further advance in the
operations on the eastern front. the
aim of which is the encircling of Prze-
mysl. although they are meeting very
stubborn resistance on the part of the
Russians.
In the west the French offensive
north of Arras is still in progress but
the advance of the allied troops is
seemingly not so fast as when the at
tack was first launched. The British
are also engaged north of Labassee and
are almost continuously occupied in
resisting the German attacks around
Ypres. the capture of which place is
said to have cost the Teutons an en-
Ormous number of men.
