 FINDING r HEIRS
(From Wednesday. DaiIy.l


 Judge J. ]. Hawkins yesterday with inc assistance of his stenographer, Mrs. Daisy Jones, completed the work of writing the seventeen cnecks and mailing them in distribution oi the estate of A. J. McPhee, deceased. The largest check calling for $602.54 went to Angus J. McPhee, brother, who received one-ffth, and the small est amount was about $97, six neph- cws and nieces being given that amount. The seventeen heirs are scattered in Canada and tine United States, from the Island of Prince Al bert to Winnipeg and from Boston and other parts of Massachusetts, 10 Telluride, Colo.
 McPhee the day before his death on August 10, 1914, paid visit to Judge Hawkins and at that time the attorney asked him if he had any rel atives living, suspecting from his con dition that he would soon pass away. McPhee stated at that time that ne had not seen any of his kin for over forty years but one of his brothers he remembered had lived in Telluride. The day after McPhee died and flaw kins, after being appointed admins trator, wrote to attorneys in the Colo rado city to see if the deceased had a brother living there. The silver city attorneys could not find the brother wno had lived there many years be fore but were successful in finding John D. McAdams, a son of Theresa McAdams, a deceased sister of Me Phee A cousin of McAdams and a niece of the deceased was visiting with him and through her most of the heirs were found
 McAdams who was in the city to help settle tne estate declares that his late mother mad tried for year after year to locate her brother who died in Prescott about year ago. but was unsuccessful. McAdams is heir to q one-ffth interest in the estate. Be sides the cash which was distributed there are still in the estate six mining claims in the Harper district on the Lower Hassayampa.

the movement was to take the work out of the hands of the politicians and make it a popular movement. Al ready, he said, q great deal of investi- gation had been conducted by some who arc now members of the com mittee, principally in the rural dis tricts. Those who had been in charge ot the campaign have turned over the petitions already in circulation to the committee. About 2000 names nave been secured in this county, but the committee has not learned how many have been obtained in the outer coun- ties, where so far no systematic can vass has been made. Secretary Ray said. however, that encouraging word had been received from nearly every part of the State except Greenlec county.
 Since last Friday, said Mir Ray, greater interest has been taken in the recall movement and many signatures nave been secured, both in the city and country.
 The names Of the members of tae recall committee are enrolled on q document headed by a. statement oi the reasons for the movement against the governor. The statement is an amplifcation of the heading of the re call petition, containing also addi- tional indictments of the chief execu- tive.

PLENTY OF BOOZE;
 NOBODY WANTS IT

At any rate nobody wanted the booze that was in the two trunks held up by the officers here the first of the week-under the circumstances. It Is sad story of how the two trunks in question fell so suddenly from the favor of their owners.
 It seems that the owners of the trunks thought so much of them that they just toted them along to Gallup with them, in order to give the trunks a ride, for the trunks were empty, go' ing out. The owners rode on the same train with these trunks and seemed quite solicitous of their safe conduct.
 At Gallup the poor empties seem to nave gone on spree and have gotten so full of red liquor that their owners were ashamed longer to be seen in their company. The owners declined to so much as ride on the same train. They sent the trunks on ahead, and followed on a later train And, worst of all, the owners upon arriving in Williams, walked clear around the engine rather than pass near the poor trunks and have con sistently disowned them since.
 The county officers now have the trunks and assert that some arrests will yet be made. None had been made at the time of going to press.- Williams News.

LAWYER FINDS A
 LOOPHOLE IN DRY LAW

TUCSON, Nov. 30.-That the Ari- zona prohibitory law would be null and void to all intents and practical purposes within the next few months was the prediction today of former Judge Charles Blenman Of Tucson, who has been following closely the trend of a court decision in a recent Kentucky case, in which the Adams Express Company was allowed to car " liquor into dry territory.
 T fully expect the Supreme court of Arizona to hand down a decision here as did the Kentucky court" said Judge Blenman, permitting the inn portation of liquor into this State for personal use. Ii is an elementary principle of law that what a man can do alone, he can do through an agent, and if the court allows the importa- ton of liquor for the personal use of Arizona citizens, any one may appoint any one else his agent to secure what goods he may need Similarly, any group of men here may get together and appoint certain dealer their joint agent to import liquor for their use and transmit it to them"
 Kentucky Opinion.
 In support Of his belief that the Supreme court of this State will de eide in favor of the importation of liquor, Judge Blenman cited the Ian guage of the Kentucky court in the case decided recently.
 "The history Of our State" says the opinion, shows that there was never even the claim of a right on the part of the legislature to interfere with the principle of citizen using liquor for his own comfort, providing that in so doing he committed no of- fense against public decency by be- coming intoxicated * The bill of rights, which declares that among the nalienable rights possessed by the citizens is that of seeking and pursu- ing their safety and happiness, anl that tle absolute and arbitrary pow e. over the lives, liberty and prop crty of freemen exists nowhere in a republic, not even in the largest ma jority-would be but an empty sound ii the legislature could prohibit the citizen the right of owning or drink ing liquor, when in SO doing he did not offend the laws of common de- cency by being intoxicated in public.
 Therefore, the question of what a man may eat, or drink, or own, pro vided the rights of others are not in vaded, is one which addresses itself alone to the will of the citizen. It is not within the competency of the government to invade the privacy of citizens life, or regulate his con duct in matters in which he alone is concerned, or to prohibit him any liberty the exercise of which will not directly injure society"

WALNUT GROVE DAM
 TO BE REBUILT

PHOENIX, Dec Mrs. Eleanor C. Whitman, millionaire woman of Philadelphia, is preparing to fulfill the promise sne made to her father on his dying bed and rebuild the Walnut Grove dam, proving that 1t can be made an instrument for human happiness instead of human destruc- tion
 Walnut Grove is on the Hassayam- pa river in Yavapai county, about 100 miles north of Phoenix. In the late sos a water storage dam was built there by a syndicate headed by Philadelphia capitalist named Van Beuren.
 The dam was about 150 feet long and 60 feet high It was what was known as rock fll'-rock faces above and below with earth filled in between. Prof. William P. Blake, one of the. most noted engineers Of his time and afterward territorial geolo- gist of Arizona, passed upon the con struction of the dam and declared that it would stand for all time.
 The principal object in building the dam was to impound water for hy- draulic mining operations below. It was planned to wash the placer dust from the earth of the Rich Hill sec ton, near Stanton, all of which pans gold. Part of the water, however, was to be used for the reclamation of the rich lands lying on both sides Of the Hassayampa below Walnut Grove.
 In February, 1890, the Walnut Grove dam gave way and the valley of the Hassayampa was swept by a raging torrent. Ten persons lost their lives and great deal of prop erty was destroyed. Several thousand dollars of the community's wealth was banked in a big safe in Robert Brow's saloon. That safe has never been found.
 It became the dream of Van Beur- ems life to reconstruct the dam in substantial manner. He held himself morally responsible, in a measure for the loss of lives and property which resulted from the failure of the first dam to do what it was expected to do. Prof. Blake was also grieved to the day of his death about five years ago.
 On his death bed Van Beuren ask ed his daughter, Mrs. Whitman, to make his dream a reality. The prom ise was given.
 Mrs. Whitman has engaged compe- tent engineers and plans have already been drawn for concrete arch dam, similar to the one at Roosevelt but much smaller. Since the first dam was built engineering methods have undergone many changes and 1t is claimed that it will be an easy matter to construct, at cost of little more than $1,OOO0OO, a dam that is abso- lutely safe.
 Fred Dennett, former commission CT of the general land office, is Mrs. Whitman's land attorney. Dennett has been in Phoenix several days, ex- planning the project to the State land commission. At this request the com mission has filed with the United States land office nere an application for the withdrawal of 17,600 fertile acres below the dam site, under the provisions of the Carey act.
The enterprise., 1915-07-01

j. E. Arnot was in the city yes
terday from Glasgow on business
connected with the First National
Bank.
Around Malta there are several
fields of winter wheat that would
be hard to beat in any country. The
l.. G. Edwards field, H. G. Robin
sons field and that of Mr.. Prlmeau
are without doubt the best we
have had the pleasure of seeing for
several years. Any one of the
above mentioned fields look at this
time as though they would easily
give yield of IS to 40 bushels per
acre and it would not be surprising
if they went even better than this.
The two former gentlemen have ir-
rigated their farms this season
while Mr.. Primeau raised his crop
strictly by dry land methods. 1t is
worth any ones time and trouble
to look at these three pieces of
grain.

INSTITUTE
WAS WE'LL ATTENDED,.

The Farmers Institute held in
the new court room in the Varney
block in this city last Friday after
noon was one of the best meetings
of this kind ever held in this Sec
tion. All of the chairs were filled,
nearly fifty tillers of the soil being
present to hear the good words
brought to them by the institute
workers. Those present were
good representation of Phillips
county farmers, as there were some
from every section of the new coun-
ty, from the Canadian line on the
norlu to the Missouri river on the
the west, while the eastern end of
the county was we'll represented by
bunch of Strater people. The
speakers claim the meeting was the
largest they had held in the Milk
River valley so far this season.
w. r. Woods spoke Interestingly
on various subjects especially the
dry farming methods. Mr.. Woods
is from South Dakota and has had
considerable experience in farming
and stock raising in the west. His
subjects included flax growing,
silos, raising of better stock and
other topics of interest to the farm
er. Mr.. Woods is considered to be
one of the best experts In the
northwest on the raising Iof flax
and his talk along these lines was
very pleasing to those present.
DR.. j. M. Davis, the other speak
er on the program, is one of the
leading dairymen of the state and
he discussed uairy problems, forage
crops, poultry and diseases of hors-
es and cattle. DR.. Davis is a splen-
did talker and his audience listened
attentively to everything he had to
say.
After the meeting had adjourned
the speakers spent half hour dis
cussing various problems with
those present so that everyone
went home feeling that the insti-
tute had been of great benefit to
them in many ways and not mere
lecture where huge topics had been
lectured upon in a lofty manner.
Each year more interest is being
manifest by the farming communi-
ty in the institutes as they are
proving themselves of great help
in different problems that confront
the man on the farm.

COLORADO MINERS CASES
ARE CALLED FOR TRIAL

BOULDER, Colo, August pa
When the cases of five coal strike
leaders charged with murder in the
Hecla battle more than a year ago
were called for trial today a further
postponement was expected. There
were rumors that on account of pop
ular disapproval of expense for old
strike cases the indictments might
eventually be %quashed.
Although the famous Colorado
labor war was settled by nearly a
year ago, the prosecution of union
members who took part in the num-
'erous riots continues. A strong pop
ular movement is under way in the
state to clean the slate of these thoa-
sand or more strike cases. The
union charge that the prosecution Is
one-sided and demand the indict-
ment of operators and mine guards
responsible for the loss oil life on the
strikers side, especially at Ludlow.
The men on trial here today were;

Federation of Labor; John O'Connor.

ITALIAN REVIEW Of
WAR IS OPTIMISTIC

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-The
Italian embassy has made public the
following statement by the Italian
government at Rome. Aug. Is:
"As opposed to misleading re
ports circulated by Austro-Hungar-
ian sources, the royal Italian gov
eminent wishes to make known the
following facts:
"Austro-Hungarian military ac-
ton on the whole Italian front Is
on the defensive: the few isolated
offensive movements undertaken
have been of a merely local charae-
ter.
THE frontier, which was consid-
cred practically impossible. owing
to the most up-to-date fortifica-
lions Austria-TIungary had built,
has been crossed by the Italian
armies. Immediately upon the
declaration of war. the ltahan
troops occupied many important
positions in the Trentino and Ca
dore. with a view to counter-bal-
ancing the enormous advantage
which the frontier drawn in 1866
placed entirely in the hands OF
Austria-tiungary.
"In some few places the Italian
army has refraired from Austrian
territory. as it could have done. IN
order to take better advantage OF
local conditions. Nowhere has the
enemy dared to invade Italian ter
ritory.

part of Monte Nero was captured

quence of which he may be charged
with the utterance of treason.
Only a few days ago Colonel Leip-
sig, the military attache Of the Ge--
man embassy, was killed. He was
a magnificent type of the German
officer, over six feet tall, a gentle
man, both in appearance and in
actuality, known and loved by every
one. The official announcement
said that while changing from uni
form to civilian dress in a little rail
way station upon his return from the
~Dardareiies, his revolver had been
accidentally discharged, the ball en-
tering his forehead.
There wac scarcely a foreigner in
all Con%stantinople who did not see
in this mysterious death the culmi-
nation at least in part of his convic-
tons that sooner or later the Turks
win turn on the German officers nov
stationed in Constantinople. But not
q single person in all Constantine
pie once expressed this suspicion.
.'They say it was accidental" is
what everyone said to his most iu-
innate friend and to this remark
silence alone followed. A word
more uttered might have been over
heard by a secret police and the in
dividual hauled up for treason.
That the position of the Germans
at Constantinople is becoming daily
more delicate there can be no ques-
ton. / know personally that ever

But there is every indication that

end. Whatever the fate of Turkey
may be there is every indication that
not a man will hesitate to share 1t
and if the Turkish empire passes out
of existence it is likely these men
will pass with it.
