BACK FROM CENTER
0F BIG WAR
Henry Marston and William Morgan
Former Residents of Morenci, Re-
turn from Southern Russia.
Are in Miami Receiving congratula-
tions of Friends on their Escape
from the Great Conflict.

Harry Marston and William Nor
gan, former residents of Morenci,
Arizona, who returne last week from
Dzansoul, Southern Russia, are in
Miami, receiving the congratulations
of friends on their safe return from
the European battle-ground
The young men had been in Russia
for five years, being employed in q
concentrator at Dzansoul, the same
town from which Mr. and Mrs. Ken
nan Williams returned to Miami q
few months ago.
Marston was in Dzansoul on No
vember 16, when the town was at
tackled and taken by the Turks Nor
gan had left the day before for Ba-
toum. OF something more than l.
900 Russians in the town at the
time, the Turks killed ESQ. Many
of the residents of the town left at
night, walking twelve or fifteen miles
to a place from which they were able
to secure transportation to Batoum.
Mr.. Marston, with other foreign
ers, was in a hospital from which
was displayed flag of truce. All
were notified by the Turks to leave,
and they left for Batoum, from which
place Marston and Morgan started
on their return trip to the United
States.
During the fight from Dzansoul,
the chief clerk of the mining COM
pany, an Englishman named Glenn
ems, was shot while crossing a foot
bridge and fell into the river. He
was not seen again. A young Ameri-
can named Caldwell, who had ar
rived in Dzansoul only a month be-
fore, from Rancagua, Chilli, where he
had been with the Braden Copper
company, was also reported missing
and was said to have been taken
prisoner by the Turks.

ment or lien existing prior to the re-
cording of such claim, with the ex-
ception of mortgages. Heretofore home
steads have not been exempt from at
tachment, except from sale under
judgment entered prior to the record
ing of such. claims. The law is further
changed by providing that any sale
made after the recording of the claim
of homestead shall be valid whether
made under a judgment existing be-
fore or after the recording of such
claims. The question has been dis
cussed quite generally and will be
opposed vigorously, although it is too
early at this time to forecast the out
come.

MANDATES At
WORK
representative of Temperance Feder-
alton Explains object of Measure.

Fully explaining the proposed Pow
ers prachman prohibition law intro.
duced in both houses several days
ago, George F. Rinehart, representa-
tive of the Temperance Federation of
Arizona, addressed joint meeting of
the committees on the constitutional
mandates of the house and senate
in the house chambers late Saturday
afternoon.
this federation which is the largest
and most effective organization ever
effected in Arizona" said Rinehart.
1T polled about $4,000 votes at the
November election and the prohibi-
tion measure adopted was the only
| one actually receiving a majority of
all the votes cast.
'The persons back of prohibition
are still interested because their
work is not yet accomplished. The
securing of the prohibition amend
ment is one tenth of prohibition, the
nine-tenths being in its enforcement
This measure should go through the
legislature for we need more specific
laws for the enforcement of the pro-
hibition amendment
Section 2 of the Amendment was
put in as a mandate on this legislature
as necessary to carry Section 1 into
effect. There is a moral obligation
placed on this assembly by the man
date of the people at the last cleo
tion
'All sections of the proposed liquor
law should be carefully considered. y
Rinehart then had the lawmakers
dig down through copies of the bill
and make slight changes.
The object of the temperance fed
s- -
age liquor traffic. The law can't be
made too drastic. If it is not made
drastic the law will not be worth
anything" he said
He referred to the formation of
clubs, IF you allow clubs to operate
you are granting privilege which you
have taken away from the poor by
voting out the saloons" he said
81 have lived in iowa, Oklahoma and
Kansas under prohibition laws. i
have seen dozens of homes turned
into blind tigers. I want you to fix
this law SO the druggists can con-
duct a legitimate drug business and
not sell booze.
Rinehart explained that the at
torney-general under the bill now be-
fore the legislature becomes commits
sioner of prohibition, ex-officio.
There are lots of places in the
state I'm in touch with where the law
is not being enforced. 1t is abso-
lute1y necessary that the law be lived
up to-" said Rinehart.
Senator George Chase (Greenlee)
then arose to his feet, "The f. -deration
fixed that bill. We are going to fix
the bill to suit ourselves. We are
the servants of the people and will do
what we are. supposed to, said Chase.
The aged senator then spied Attor-
ney-General Wiley Jones sitting in
the gallery. Gen. Jones, it is the re-
quest of Uncle George Chase that you
come down and perch on this floor" !"
said Chase.
In few moments Jones was on the
floor He answered number of
questions but made no statement
which might be misinterpreted as in
terfering with any pending legisla-
ton.
Under the prohibition amendment
adopted at the November election it
is the duty of the legislature to pass
an act,as one of the provisions state"
said Jones'

RAILROADS To RAISE RATES
Passenger Tariffs on Roads West OF
the Mississippi to be Boosted March
1-Arizona is Affected by Increase.

Material increases in passenger
rates on railroads operating vest of
the Mississippi are provided for in
tariffs fled this week with the in er-
state commerce commission at Wash
ington.
The new tariffs are to take effect
March 1.
The new rates will add approxi-
mately 81 90 to the cost of all classes
of transcontinental tickets, and will
therefore increase rates from Arizona
to eastern points and vice-versa.
Homeseekers' and colonist tickets are
affected by the raise, which applies
from Montana to the Mexican border.
can increase of dollar in the price
of a ticket to the coast from eastern
basing points does not seem large"
said Chairman F. A Jones of the
corporation commission yesterday,
but in the aggregate it will result
in a general increase in passenger
revenue for transcontinental roads.
The commission has already been ask
ed to join in asking for a suspension
of the proposed tariffs after q hear
ing can be had, and as Arizona is one
of the states affected, it is probable
that we will take action with the
other western states.
Local tariffs and iptra-state travel
will not be affected by the increase.
The rates are to apply only to trans
tickets from ST. Louis, New
Orleans and points in the Mississippi
valley Excursion rates to the exposi-
tions will not be affected.

COMMUNICATED.
To Editor of The Copper Era
Clifton, Arizona.

Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to
an article in The Copper Era" of
February 5th, under the caption,
Timber Road will be con n7idered by
Supervisors and to an editorial in
the same issue, in which it is author
|itatively- stated that the Forest Ser
vice has agreed to construct a road
from the south boundary of the
Apache National Forest, north, into
the heavily timbered area of that
Forest, provided Greenlee County
will extend the road from the Forest
boundary into Clifton
Ii is true as stated in the article,
that the Forest Service is ready and
anxious TO dispose of the, merchant
able timber within the Apache Nation
al Forest and will overlook no effort
to supply the local demand in the
Clifton district. Moreover, applica-
tions for the purchase of timber,
whether in large or small amounts
will receive every consideration from
the service. A large sale of timber
and the receipts resulting therefrom
would greatly increase Greenlee
ICounty's road and school fund and
wounld benefit the whole community.
There is no doubt, however, that
is more probable, the situation has
been misunderstood, in relation to the
alleged agreement, on the part of
the Forest Service, to construct the
proposed road within the Apache Ma
LtionaI Forest, in exchange for Green
lees cooperation in the construction
of that portion of the road outside of
the National Forest boundary.
No such binding agreement has
been entered into by the Forest Ser
vice either with Greenlee County or
with any private individuals or par
ties.
It. will be greatly appreciated if you
will give this explanation due publi-
city in your paper in order that a
false imp ession may not result anS
the good faith of the Forest Service
may not be questioned.
Yours very truly,
FREDERIC WINN,
Forest Supervisor

GHERNA CASE is
AFFIRMED THIS WEEK
Supreme Court Endorses Decision
of Lower Court in Liquor Case.

Shortly before noon on Monday of
this week the state supreme court
handed down a unanimous opinion
affirming the decision of the lower
court in the Louis Gherna case.
The opinion is quite lengthy and
goes into the matter very fully. A
hearing of the case was held before
the court about two weeks ago, at
which time the state was represented
by the attorney generals office, and
Gherna by Attorneys ]. B. Wright
and E. s.. Ives of Tucson.
1t is understood that Gherna will
carry the case on higher to the
United States supreme court.
The Gherna case was begun pur-
posely to test the new prohibition
law. Shortly after the prohibition
law became effective Jan. 1, Gherna
sold pint of whiskey.
He was arrested, and the superior
court gave him a fine and jail SEN
tence. He then appealed to the high
er court.

at the dure. There'll be time to
reach town by midnight"
The bitter wind was in his face as
he turned back up the hill, but now
Mike did not hesitate for a moment.
Head down, he hurried EDWARDS, and
presently was again beside the corpse
OF Santa Claus frozen messenger.
Without glance at the body he
snatched up the sack, flung it over his
shoulder, and continued his way up
the valley.
The glow from the lighted window
threw its red beam across the snow
as he rounded the curve and came
within sight of the lonely cottage and
a corresponding glow warmed Mike
heart as he thought of the pleasure
of the children when they found their
long-deiayed Christmas gifts.
Seeing no sign of life, he slipped
in at the front gate, and, stepping
very quietly up the path, gained the
door, dropped his sack, and giving
one sharp tap, turned the bolt
But he had not counted on the eager
children, and before he could get round

through this coating, and sank deep
into soft stuff beneath, making the
travelling so terribly hard that, in
spite Of the bitter cold, perspiration
stood in beads on his thin, brown
face.
He was breathing hard, and evil
IDENTIFY desperately weary, yet he new
err stopped for a moment, though now
and then, as he plowed his way on
wards, he would turn his head and
cast an apprehensive glance back
over his shoulder.
Had anyone been near enough to
watch him, they would easily have un'
derstOod his haste. The drab livery
plentifully besprinkled with broad ar
rows marked him as one Of the states
unwilling guests. AS matter Of fact,
Mike Dempsey had been for the last
three years a prison inmate, and it
was with the intention of escaping an
other seven years Of unappreciated
hospitality that he had, a few hours
previously, done a bunk under COW
er of the sudden snOwstOrm.
1--WE puzzled thin screws, that's
wan thing sure,' he muttered to him
self, and in spite of his fatigue a
slight chuckle escaped his thin lips.
But faith, I've puzzled mesilf, too,
and don't know where am no more
than Adam.
IF I cud only git a landmark OF
some sort" he went on. "Eanst |
cud find my road to the railway, I'd
win clear Mike Dempsey wasn't a
NAVY siven years for nothing"
He crunched his slow way across a
fat valley, jumped a little brook and
pushed up the steep slope beyond.
A CLEAN of light i'll the next valley
attracted his attention. 1t came
from a lighted window, and there was
something comforting to the lonely
fugitive in the red glow cast upon
the glittering snow. Without hesita-
ton, he started downhill toward it.
Presently he was cautiously ap-
preaching a small house, which stood
in a tiny garden surrounded by a low
dry-stone wall. There was a gate IN
front, but Mike preferred to approach

from the back, and clambering gin
gerly over the wall crept up to the
window from which the light came.
Raising himself till his head was
on a level with the sill, he peered
through the uncurtained window into
a barely furnished living room, light
ed by a great fire of glowing turf.
A couch stood in one corner, on
which lay youngish man whose BAN
daged head showed him to be the
victim of some accident. On chair
beside him sat Il sweet-faced wom-
an. and on the bare earthen floor
played two children-a curly-haired
boy of about seven, and chubby girl
a year or so younger.
But what arrested Mixes attention
was a little fir tree, not more than
four feet high, which stood planted
in an old bucket, on the table in the
middle of the room.
For a moment it puzzled Mike
Then he gave little gasp.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

came flying after him.
William, where is Sanity CLAUSE"
piped the childish treble.
1t amt William, sonny. Tell your
nanny as Williams got lest, and |
brought the things instead. Now I've
got to go, for I'm in a mighty hurry"
Il expect you aret" came a jeering
voice, and a blue-uniformed man car
rying carbine stepped out from the
lowed instantly by second.

You'd better" retorted the warder,
whose temper long hours in the snow
had not improved.

Mike glanced up. The boys mother
was standing by, her face blank with
amazement.
What does this mean?" she cried.
SIS it William?"
Not unless he's changed his name
since morning, missus,' replied the
warden. HE was Michael Dempsey
when he bunked from Moorlands just
after dinner"
But [ don't understand. He's got
William Cookers clothes on, and he's

the Old convict. williams down the
valley there"
You take the chap into the house,
George" said the older warder. I'll
go down and see."
Half an hour later he returned.
I've found William he said briefly.
Hes froze to death. Dempsey took
his clothes, but he didn't have no hand
in killing him."
Then, in the name of sense, what
did he come back here for instead OF
Swimming out?" inquired the younger
warder, in blank surprise.
''Fle came to bring our Kismas pres
ents, explained curly-locks. He told
me so"
Wv ell, of all the everlasting fools"
gasped the junior warder.
His senior wheeled on him sharply.
"A good thing it there were a few
more fools of that kind in Moorlands.
Ay--and outside, tool"
He turned to Mike:
Come along, Dempsey he said in
a more kindly tone. I'll see as the
