FARMERS GET FRANCHISE

special election was held i'll
Audubon last Saturday at which
time a proposition was presented to
the voters by the Audubon County
Mutual Telephone Co., asking for a
franchise which would permit them
to build and operate telephone ex-
change in the town of Audubon, and
give them the right to use the al
leyS and streets for the erection of
the poles.
There seemed to be very little in
terest in the election, at least there
was no fight on the surface. When
the polls closed at eight o'clock, 200
ballots had been cast of which 1919
were for the franchise and against
the other ballot being a blank.
In an interview with some of the
officers of the association, we were
informed that it was not their in
tention of building a telephone ex-
change at this time, nor would they
build as long as the farmers were
given the proper service by the pres
en- company. Unless satisfactory
service is given, the company feels
that it will be at liberty to Euild az
exchange that will not only give the
farmers good service. but viii also
attempt TO. give service to the CHI
2ens of Audubon.
The Republican has all along Leen
inclined to the belief that the far
mers should be given the franchise.
II will put them in position TO do
business if necessary, and if the
present company does not live up to
the promises it made the people last
summer, the business interests OF
the town will join them in helping
maintain a telephone exchange that
will give everyone concerned the
kind of service to which they are ell
titled

 The Villa commander at JuareZ. who is said to have attended the conference. denied the statements. It is said no merchants were expelled. but because of "exorbitant specula tion,'' the stocks of some of the mer chants were purchased with an all lowance of 15 per cent profit.
 The Villa garrison at Guzman, 7S miles southwest of here, revolted, according to Carranza reports which were verified by railway officials. Officials of the garrison were i'm prisoned, it is said.
 Representatives of foreign mining Chihuahua received word from Chi huahua city that the conference of mining company representatives, called for today, at which Villa an nounced his intention to levy a forced loan of $30O,000. adjourned un- til August 9. when only a few min ing men appeared at the meeting.
 In his denial of the reported eX- pulsion of merchants, General Orne- las the commander at Juarez, said there were no executions of Mexican merchants and that Villa did not use any insolent language toward the United States.
 He admitted some of the Mexican merchants were jailed when they in sisted on following the footsteps of foreign merchants in charging exor- hitant prices.

German Note Continues the Discussion of Sinking of the Frye, While Britain Deals With the Blockade of the Allies
TETROGRAD, Aug, 2.-An of ficial communication tonight says a British submarine sunk a large German transport in the Baltic
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

LONDON, Aug 2-While the Aus tro Germans continue to tighten the wings of their great eastern battle front with success at both extremeties, including the occupation of Mitau in the north, and further progress beyond Cholm in southeast Poland. the situa- tion before Warsaw proper remains un- changed and obscure.
 The western theater furnished noth ing to alter the situation and it re- mained for the British navy to furnish an unexpected contribution to todays news with the sinking of a German de- stroyer off the German coast by q sub marine and q strange assortment of performances by another British un- der-sea boat operating in the Sea of Marmora. The craft not only crept so close to Constanunople> as to launch torpedoes at lighters in the Golden Horn, presumably awaiting munitions from the arsenal but with it's guns bombarded and for a time tied up the railway skirting the Asiatic coast. de laying a troop train and causing havoc among the ammunition stores.
 In addition the submarine consider ably damaged Turkish shipping and sunk one craft believed to be a gunboat.
 Few additional details reached Lon don concerning the plans for the aban donment of Warsaw but apparently the time has not arrived for the Russians to relinquish their precariOus hold on the capital or al least no word of it's evacuation has come to London.
 IVansorod southeast of Warsaw, heretofore erroneously reported as in vested. is now nearing that state in fact, according to a Berlin announce ment. but from Ivangorod, eastward to Cholm and beyond the Russians who had to abandon the railway are fight ing most desperately in an endeavor to hold up von Mackensens advance northward into Poland, a movement which seriously threatens the Russian center retiring from Warsaw
 Announcements in the duma at Pet rograd and by the Russian ambassador at London indicate that Russia is anXi- ous to brand as unfounded the recur- rent reports that the Russian people are disgruntled at the showing Great Britain and France have made in the west which might create a situation unfaVorable to the continued unity of the allies No hint of separate peace or dissatisfaction with England's pol icy comes from any authoritative source and the ambassador made it plain no criticism is emanating from those who understand the military sit uation.

POLICE ARREST
 THE CHURCHILL
 HOME BURGLARS
Within Few Hours After Fire and Robbery Dis covered Culprits Are in Tolls and Much Property Recovered

In the arrest yesterday afternoon and last evening of Miguel Miranda Ricarda Cobo. Pete OIean and Mar garet Essex, by Policeman R. l.. Wilkerson, assisted by Policeman Ed ward Barnum. a solution of the rob bery and burning early yesterday morning of the home of Mrs Vir- ginia F. Churchill, Second and East Monroe streets, was reached. It was one of the most remarkable and speedy catches" in the recent annals of the Phoenix police department. for it not only quickly cleared away all mystery surrounding the Churchill affair, but it also revealed the identity of the perpetrators of several other petty robberies.
 Almost before the ashes in the charred rooms of the Churchill home had cooled. Policeman Wilkerson had a pretty we'll defined idea as to the identity of the men who had entered the residence the night before, stripped it of many valuable jewels. dresses. watches, pins. toilet sets and other articles. It was more a matter then of making a complete roundup of all implicated and it was necessary to proceed cautiously in order that none of those soght would become aware that they were suspected.
 The whole affair reads much like a moving picture scenario. For it is now believed that Miranda and Cobo occupying a room in the Monroe House. just across the street from the Churchill home, witnessed the de- parture Sunday afternoon of Mrs Churchill and her house guest. charming young woman from Texas, who expected to spend the afternoon and evening riding among the orange groves of the valley. An accident to their machine prevented their return until the night was well spent
 And late at night it is believed that Miranda and Cobo crossed to the Churchill home and leaving Clean outside to guard against surprise. ran sacked the place Afraid to turn on the electric lights they employed matches, throwing the burning bits

Ambassadors from Argen- tina, Brazil and Chile and Ministers from Bolivia. Uruguay and Guatemala to Confer With Lansing
CONFERENCE IS
 TO BE INFORMAL
It is Believed Result Will Be Action, Perhaps Milf tary, That Will Meet With Approval of the Entire World
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug ? The United States has decided 10 ask the cooperation of South and Central America in the next step to restore peace in Mexico. The ambassadors from Argentina, Brazil and Chile and the ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala have been asked to confer with Secretary Lansing on Thursday. While the state depart ment characterized the coming con ference as an informal one, the sell timent has been growing among American officials that the next step in the Mexican situation should be one which would meet the approval of the world and taken in concert with the nations of Central and South America, even if in the last military action.
 At this stage. however, it is not be- lieved that military operations arc being contemplated as the next step South and Central America have been keeping closely informed on the sit uation. In fact. the Brazilian minis ter in Mexico City has been the source to which the United States has turned for the last sixteen months for the care of the interests of Amer jeans and foreigners in the distressed capital It is known if the situation should neCessitate that an armed force win open the railroad to Mexico City for the protection of the lega- tions and non -combatants, or armed occupation should be necessary as q prelude to restoration of order the South and Central Americas prob ably would receive and welcome an invitation to share the work with the United States.
 The state department tonight said
 "On Thursday afternoon there will be an informal conference at the state department to consider the Mexican situation. Those taking part in the conference will be the ambas- sadors from Brazil, Argentina and Chile and the three ranking ministers of the American republics namely those of Bolivia, Uruguay and Qua temala. As to the details which are to be considered nothing can be saiI at the present time, as the confer ence will be entirely confidential"
 The three ambassadors were media tors in the Niagara conference in the summer of 1914. The three ministers are in point of seniority at the head of the Central American legation corps. Action in concert with the Central and South Americas would be in line with the presidents plan for a closer relationship between the United States and those countries, and Is planned to show that the United States considers tlle Mexican question a common cause ot the Pan American group. and that this gov ernment entertains nc idea of terri torial aggression. but is acting solely as MeXico's nearest powerful friend and neighbor.
