D0INGs 0F THE
 STATE LEGISLATURE
THURSDAY

PHOENIX, Ariz., February lO.- Theoretically this day of vacation for the members of the spotted sec ond" legislature was spent in commit tee work and in preparation for the ar cnous duties of the concluding week Of the session. Actually some commi ttee was accomplished. but for the most part the statesmen and attaches wan dered about their hotels or along the highways and bywsys. absorbed repeat cd sun baths, and longed for the nor row when the wheels of law making will again revolve.
 At the capitol it is housekeeping day ard fumigators and formaidehyde ar lists hold the floor. The printers are catching up with the bills. and when business is resumed there will be plenty to do in each house.
 In the lower branch the Powers pro- hibition bill has the right of way on the committee of the whole calendar. while in the senate chief interest centers in the third reading of the county seat re- moysl bill over which there is sure to be a lively debate.
 The land bills are in process of print ing and when they are ready for dis. euxsion will consume a world of time. Each of them is likely to take half . day to read without discussion or amendments. Also a new mine tan bill ;s in process of incubation in the hous ( as weu as other legislation of time con- suming importance.
 With no further interruptions the coneIuding four weeks of the session will be busy ones for although the al Ie,ted span is half gone not over twen- ty-fve per cent of the work has been accomplished.
 The Doyle bill has been introduced in the house by Oscar Doyle. repre- tentative from Cochise. entitled an act to provide for the carrying into ef feet the provisions of article 23 of the coustitution of the state of Arizona copstruirs said article 23 and defining ardent spirits and alcoholic beverages .. ,bere;n mentioned; and providing tor the disposition of ardent spirits and alcoholic liquors as in said Article 2a mentioned for medicinal scientific art and .cr.mental purposes and uses. and for the personal use. and the punish r,.ut for violation of this act. and the ;ur;,diction for prosecutions under this set"

Nsuro PASSENGER KIN. Mate.

Tiptonville. Diggs, a negro
deck passenger on the steamer Ferd
Herold, ran amucK with a pistol at
midnight on October 4, and killed Sec
ond Mate Earl Lee of Memphis and an
unknown negro passenger. The double
tragedy was enacted while the vessel
was steaming between Mabel, KY, and
Slough Landing, Tenn. Diggs and
Webster Daniel, negro companion,
we're arrested and are now in jail here.
About midnight Mate Lee noticed
that they were smoking around cot
ton. He started back to them to re-
peat previous warning. AS the mate
came up Diggs, without warning, jerk
ed q pistol from his pocket and push
ing it against Lees abdomen, fired.
The noise OF the exploding pistol
awakened an unknown negro passen-
ger, who was sleeping nearby. AS this
negro rose to his feet Diggs fred
point blank at him, the bullet entering
his head and killing him instantly. The
noise Of the shooting attracted other
members of the boats crew and Diggs
was overpowered. His companion,
Daniel, was also arrested. The two
were held on the boat until II reached
Tiptonyille, when they were turned
over to the officers of Lake County.
Because of the fact that the killing
occurred while the boat was steaming
between Kentucky and Tennessee
points. a dispute concerning jurisdic-
ton has arisen. Sheriff Huddleston OF
Hickman, KY, telephoned here that he
was coming after the prisoners. but
Sheriff Hall OF Lake County, Tenn.
replied that they would be held here.

herself to death in her fathers home,
Just outside the city limits. She was
is years old. Dependency over her
mothers death, which occurred about
a year ago, is believed to have caused
the girl to take her life. Miss Hyatt
was the daughter OF John l.. Hyatt,
and was considered by her teachers
to be one OF the most intelligent girls
in school. She was in the eighth
grade, and was very attractive.
After the Messick students were dis
missed SO that they could attend the
Tri-State Fair Miss Hyatt walked
home. She went to her own room, on
the first floor of the home, and had
been In there but few minutes before
the shot was fired. Her stepmother

BANDIT CHEF is KILLED
Report Says De Ia Rosa, Mexican 6or-
der Marauder, Was Led Into Am
bush and Killed.

Brownsville, Texas.--A report that
Luis De la Rosa, chief of the Texas
bandits, had been led into trap on
the Texas side Of the river and killed
has been received here from Mission.
Some Mexicans supposed to be bandits
were led into ambush near Mission and
in the fight two or three Of them were
killed. In the absence of confirma-
tion of the identity, officers here and
at Mission were inclined to doubt that
the one killed was De la Rosa. Amer
leans in the fight were out OF reach OF
telephone communication.
Luis De la Rosa was the leader of
a band of so Mexicans which on the
night Of Aug. s attacked Norias ranch
house, about so miles north of Browns
vile. Fifteen Americans, including
seven ranchmen, drove De Ia Rosa off
with the loss Of five killed after a
fight of an hour and half.
Col. Robert L. Billiard, in command
of infantry patrol, said the situation
Is improving in the northern part OF
this country, where the outbreaks
originated, to such extent that two
more troop guards we're withdrawn

farmers said they feel safe without

GERMAN REPLY DlsPLEAsEs
Berlin VIII Not Assume Liability for
Sinking the Arabic or for Killing
U. S. Citizens.

Washington.-Germany has failed to
satisfy the request of the United
States that the sinking of the Arabic,
with a loss of American lives, be dis
ayowed and liability for the act as
sumed by the imperial government.
This became known after conference
between President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing. at which the secretary
submitted a note given him in New
York by Count Won Bernstorr, the
German ambassador.
No announcement was made after
the White House conference Secre-
tary Lansing said merely that 1t was
inadvisable to comment on the situa'
ton while the negotiations we're still
confidential. He declined to say what
the next step would be, but It was
learned later that the German am
bassador would be asked to come to
Washington soon to receive the view
which the American government
takes of the last German note. Count
Won Bernstorff is fully authorized by
his government to conduct the sub.
marine negotiations.
While the situation has improved
to the extent that there is no danger
OF an immediate break in diplomatic
relations. as the note affords an op.
portunity for further negotiations, it
was stated reliably that final refusal
by Germany to meet the American
viewpoint on the Arabic case might
bring about threatened rupture In dip.
lomatic relations.
Just what the details are on which
arbitrate questions involving the loss
not definitely known because Of the
veil of secrecy enveloping the negotia
tions.
In general, 1t was learned that Ger.
many, after examining the evidence
submitted by the United States, came
to the conclusion that her submarine
| COuAAuduutI SiIcu III dbSuAllub that
the Arabic was intent on ramming
the German submarine when steering
to rescue the passengers on the Brit.
ish steamer Dunsley. This admission
of a mistake would amount to a dis.
avowal of the act, but the United
States has insisted that dlsavowal
must be accompanied by an assump-
ton of responsibility and liability, and
that full reparation must be given for
American lives lost.
President Wilson has taken the pc.
sition that the United States cannot
arbitrate questions involving the loss
Of American lives, and 1t is believed
that in the next step the Washington
government will indicate that the only
matter it can submit to arbitration is
the amount of the damages to be paid
after the question OF liability itser
already is admitted.
