Attorney Hayes and Mayor
Young Make Attack on
Republican Paper With
Unfailness Editorially
and Otherwise
|SAYS REPUBLICAN
MUCH IN EVIDENCE
Wastes Clients Time In
Pointing Out Matter Out
side the Evidence and
Finally Settles Down to
Review Of Hearing

A casual observer stepping into the
city court room yesterday afternoon
about the time Attorney Patrick Henry
Hayes began his argument in support
of the evidence brought out at the
hearing of the charges filed against
City Manager w. A. Parish, might have
easily been misled into the belief that
it was The Arizona Republican that
had been on trial Going entirely out
side of the matter in hand and entirely
outside the evidence that had been
brought out, Counsel Hayes for the
mysterious proponents, charged that
The Republican had presented both
editorials and news stories designed
unquestionably to mislead the public. -
He charged that one of the editorials
printed in The Republican constituted
"a direct attack on the commission
form of government"
The Arizona Republican" said Mr..
Hayes" has been very much in evi-
dence in this hearing" which assertion
was challenged by Judge Baker, coun-
sci for Manager Parish, who said that
The Republican had in no way been
brought into the case and that nothing
concerning The Republican was to be
found in the evidence.
This paper" continued Mr.. Hayes,
presented but a brief outline of the
charges, with all the sting removed,
and then published the entire answer
of Manager Parish. It's design has
been to intimidate this commission.
There has been an attempt through the
press to show that this is a semi =
criminal proceeding and that the COM
mission brought these charges or was
in collusion with those that did bring
them
Having rid his system of his feeling
toward The Republican, Mr.. Hayes
really did get down to the business in
hand. Previous to beginning the argu-
ments counsel agreed that an hour each
would be sufficient, although Mr..
Hayes and his associate, Jdge Sloan,
thought they ought to be allowed an
hour and half. SO Mr.. Hayes occu-
pied about an hour, no small portion
of which was devoted to his remarks
concerning The Republican, thereby
shortening the time he had to take care
of the matter in hand for his clients.
He first complmented the commits
sion for is patience and the absolute
fairness accorded both sides. He said
that the manager had been given fair
trial. He called the attention of the
commission to the fact that under the
city charter having the power to ap-

Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Rumorcd Will Start in
Pinal Superior Court;
Mystery About Prisoner
and His Case


FLORENCE, March 3.-What NAV
prove an administration attempt to
save the lives of Ramon Villalobo
and the other four murderers in the
state penitentiary under sentence of
execution on March 10, is rumored
will take the form of habeas corpus
proceedings in superior court here
tomorrow. Moreover. it is understood
here that Governor Hunt has given
his official aid to this project by
granting an unconditional pardon to
a prisoner whose name Is not known
and in whose behalf the proceedings
will be started. 1t was upon Warden
X. b. Sims refusal to honor the
governors pardon-believing as he is
supposed to do in the legality of the
board of pardons and paroles-that
the action will be started to free
the unknown captive.
As a fight on the constitutionality
of the law relegating pardoning and
paroling powers to a commission in
stead Of the governor of the state,
the rumored action tomorrow is given
some semblance of fact by the gov
ernors refusal to recognize the parole
board, by certain hinted plans the
chief executive was taking in regard
to this matter and finally by the

FRENCH TROOPS
THREATEN THE
GERMAN LINES
In the Western Theater Of
War French Offensive
In Champagne Region
Continues Outstanding
Feature Of Camaign

LONDON, March 3.-In the western
theater OF war the French offensive in
the Champagne region continues the
outstanding feature of the campaign.
French troops have now reached the
highest points on the ground north OF
Perthes and Beausejour and must be
drawing near the positions from which
they will be able to shell the branch
railway that runs to the rear of the
German line and maintains communl-
cation between the German forces be-
fore Rheims and Verdun.
There has been fighting at other
points, but none to compare in import
ance with that at Champagne. With
the allied fleet again bombarding the
Dardanalles and the Russians pushing
their offensive in the Caucasus, the
near east is again coming into the lime
light. The Russians scored distinct
success by capturing the Turkish port
of Khopa on the Black Sea, from which
the Turkish army in the Caucasus
drew part of its supplies. In their de-
termination to relieve PrZemysl and
drive the Russians out of Galicia, the
Austro- German armies which for some
weeks have been on the .Galician side
of the Carpathians, during the last HsW
days made repeated attempts to break
through the Russian entertainments
but without success. Since Sunday
when it massed formation and threw
themselves against the Russian troops
holding strong positions, the Austro-
Germans attacked repeatedly in spite
of the heavy losses this kind of night
ing entails.
Yesterday, according to a Russian
Official statement, the Austrians de-
livered furious attacks between the San
and Ordawa Rivers only to be thrown
back as they were in their previous eff
forts. while the Germans made several
fruitless attempts around koziouwka
and Rojanka at the latter point losing
two companies which were surrounded

" "Social Purposes" Amend
ment Brings Uproar;
Bacon Tells Solons What
They Must Do About
1t

All the outstanding incidents of the
legislature took place in the senate yes
terday. Though some of them were
more spectacular the one which will
be ultimately of the greatest weight
was the recommendation for the pass
age of the prohibition bill. This
measure which is a compromise with
some of the objectors to the Drachman
bill and of the Powers -Drachman bill
was believed in the form in which it
had been presented by the committee
on public institutions to be fully re-
sponsive to the so-called constitutional
mandate.
1t defined the rights of druggists to
dispense medicines in which alcohol
enters, such essences and remedies to
the preservation of which alcohol is
essential and such preparations are
made according to the United States
formula.
Alcohol may be dispensed on the
prescription of physicians and punish
ment is to be meted out to the physi-
clan who abuses this privilege. Wine
may be introduced for sacramental
purposes.
The attorney general is charged with
the prosecution of violators of the law
but the seizure provisions of the orig
inal Powers -Drachman bill and the lat
ter Drachman bill are omitted. The in
troduction of intoxicating liquors is
forbidden in the same terms as those
of the constitutional amendment and
the punishment for this offense and for
the trafficking in liquor is such as is
prescribed in the amendment.
Mr.. Karns offered an amendment
permitting the introduction of liquor
for personal use and that it may be
used in acts Of hospitality to guests.
This created an uproar

apprehension regarding the duty of the

senators and representatives pressed
on under the eyes of hundreds Oh
spectators, who crowded the galleries
Of both houses and overflowed into
the corridors. Both branches hand
led a flood of bills, resolutions and
conference reports, in a desperate
effort to pass all the necessary legls-

and promised to be practically con-
tinuous until the end.
In the fading hours of the session,

over which there has been such
fight. Soon after this measure was
shunted into the discard, rural credit
legislation was also abandoned be-
cause of the impossibility of an
agreement on the part of the SEN
ate and house conferees. Other i'm
portant measures which at a late
hour seemed doomed were the bill
to enlarge the measure of self-gov-

president at the beginning of con-.
gress.
All but two of the big appropria-
ton bills which in all aggregate ap-
proximately one billion dollars. have
been disposed of. only the Indian
and postoffice bills remaining in the
conference at midnight approached.
There were fears that the post
office bill. carrying about s31S,000, 900,
would fail because of the irreconcil-
able differences over the railway
mail pay and promotion features of
the measure.
House leaders already have pre-
pared joint resolution to continue
the existing appropriation for the
postal service in case the bill is
doomed in the final hours of the

Indian bill reported progress, but
threats of a filibuster were made by
several senators should the confer
ence report prove unsatisfactory.

The war risk bureau has ALREADY

fronted with the problem of how to

declaration of the allies that com
mercial intercourse by sea between
Germany and the outside world will
be stopped
Experts in international war point
ed out tonight that if blockade
actually had been declared the bureau
would not be in an embarrassing
position, for its policies contain claus
es designed to relieve the government
of risk where a vessel or cargo
carrying insurance is seized in at

Under the announced plan of the
allies. however, it was said that if

ed and detained, the government might

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The state

WASHINGTON, March BY a
unanimous vote the senate late to-
night adopted a substitute for the
joint resolution passed earlier in the
house, enlarging the power of the
president to prevent infringements
of American neutrality by vessels
leaving ports of the United States
with men or supplies for belligerent
Warships.
A joint resolution was passed by
the house that would authorize the
refusal of clearance except under
heavy bonds, to American ships sus-
pected of loading men or supplies for
belligerent warships and for the in
ternment of. foreign merchantmen en-
gagged in such traffic and would i'm
pose heavy penalties for violation.
The resolution is to take effect i'm
mediately.
The senate substitute was later
agreed to in the house. The resolu-
tion now goes to the President for his
