OF JUDGE CONTEST IN
 MAR|COPA

PHOENIX, July 3-A certified complaint, asking that the state insti- ute, quo warranto proceedings against Judge Frank H. Lyman, was filed yesterday afternoon with the at torney general by Attorney R. M. Fleming. Filing of the affidavit and petition followed the decision of Judge Lyman in the first case tried before him, the action being one re- lating to the settlement of the estate of James H. Crosby, deceased. Ob- jections to the jurisdiction of Judge Lyman were made by Attorney Fleming at the time of the hearing but they were overruled.
 The affidavit states that the gov ernor's call made no specific mention ot the appointment of a second judge fC" Maricopa county, and that the legislature exceeded it's poWers i.1 cnacting a law so providing. Fnr thermore, Judge Lyman's office is attacked on the ground that the gov ernor had no power to make the ap- pointment, and that the naming Of Lyman to the office was outside of the authority of the governors of fee.
 No action will be taken by the at torney general until his return from Prescott next week. Attorney Elem ing stated yesterday that in the event the attorney general should refuse to institute quo warranto proceedings that he would petition the supreme court for a writ of mandamus order ing the attorney general to begin &C.,

ENEMIES OF JOHN BARLEYCORN MEET
 ID BEGIN BATTLE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July G. The enemies of the saloon have come together on the famous Ste sl Pier from all sections of the coun- try. and a monster convention oC the enemies of rum got under way this morning. For four days the liquor trade will get the hardest the United States.
 The big convention is the biennial of the Anti-Saloon League of Ameri- ca, and under the banner of pro- hibition have come representatives of religious, civic and political or ganizations of all kinds from all places. Four huge auditoriums have been thrown open for the orators, and the delegates and visitors are already overfiowing the accommoda- tions.
 The great strides which the pro- hfbition movement has made since the last convention, in 1913, the en- thusiasm of the workers for prohi- bition, and the prospect for an early national prohibition law are the themes of the speakers, who climax with the motto, Nationwide prohi- bition in 1920."
 The breaking of party lines in state and national politics, the prob lem of furnishing revenue for run ming the government to supplant the dwindling rum revenues are minor considerations in the eyes of the host of saloon-fighters gathered here. The one aim, the slogan of the big convention, is to secure a clean sweep of the country and wipe out the saloon and the liquor traffic from the nation.
 Governors of states, prominent economists, educators, bishops and preachers, and civic leaders from many places are on the program to speak during the convention. Even John L. Sullivan, will come to front and fire a broadside into the saloon.

cOLoRED MURRERERS
 WANT A NEW TRIAL

Papers in the appeal of Ben Mer- riwater and Charles Dingle, col ored United States troopers, for a new trial, reached the state supreme court this week.
 The men are under sentence of death for the murder of Armada Hernandez, with Springfield rifle February 6, 1915. They are alleged to have robbed the man be- fore committing the crime. The killing occurred in Cochise county near Douglas, where the troopers were stationed.
 On March 23 they were sentenced to hang at the state prison at Flor ence, June 4, but their notice of ap- peal for new trial saved their necks.
 They ask for a new trial on the grounds that the court erred in ad- mitting evidence over the objection of the defendants, that the verdict is contrary to law, and that the yer dict is contrary to the evidence.

Regiment of Thousand Has Been Raised In State For Service in European War-EnIisting Officer Under Arrest in Bisbee.

GLOBE, July 6-The world embrac
 ing effects of the European war, at al times of keen interest in this locality because of the residence here of so many of foreign birth, was more fore ibly brought to the attention of tn public by the announcement Satur- day, that in the neighborhood of 200 Montenegrins would leave this dis trict Sunday for the battle front
 The recruits left Globe Sunday morning for Vancouver, B. G., and from there will be rushed ,transporta- tion free, over the Canadian Pacific railroad to Montreal, where recruits from all points in the United States are being concentrated. Troop ships are held in readiness at that point tc sail as soon as proper quota is ob tained.
 Savo Gurujokovich, bearing creden tials from the Montenegrin govern ment, has been in the district for a number of days flaming the patriotic fervor of Montenegro's wandering sons and obtaining their promises ta return and enlist. A mass meeting was held Wednesday evening in Union hall and a stirring address was delivered by Gurujokovich with such telling effect that at it's close, three fourths of those present enthusiasti- cally volunteered to return and fight e, 1@s,, Tr, o61 %r> hi address to the Montenegrins, Guru- jokovich appealed to those of Servian extraction, declaring racial differ ences were to be forgotten and the two members of the Balkan fedora tion were to stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight to throw off the yoke of Austrian domination and at the end of the war, if successful, the two countries will unite under one government.
 It is the intention of Gurujokovich to raise a battalion of 1000 men composed entirely of men recruited in Arizona. As there are about 800 men in the state who have seen mili- tary duty in the Balkan war, this to the fighting forces of the Montenegrins will be a formid- able one. Gurujokovich leaves this for Bisbee, where he has re- ceived assurances a large body of men are ready to start for Canada as soon as their transportation can be arranged.
 A fund was subscribed to and set aside by the Montenegrin govern ment short time ago, to pay the and expenses home, of it's citizens living m foreign lands and call to the colors sent out. It Is under this provision the local men are returning. Providing there is sufficient money left in the fund af- ter the return of the single men, a second call will be issued requesting he enlistment of the married men as we'll.
