Senores:

Cuando, en- el otono del aiio que aca
ba de transcurrir, las conversaciones
sobre la question de Marruecos arroia-
ban-cual relampagos-una viva luz
sobre la situaci6n polftica, yo como
aleman,, 10 misno que como comercian-
te hanseatico, me formule la pregun-
ia: 5de d0nde nos amenaza ell mavor
pellgro, en- case de guerra, del lado de
lnglaterra, por una guerra esencial,
mente economical, de la parte de
F'rancia, por una guerra pol1tica? Es
precise deciros que he hecho la campa-
ma de 187O-71, desde el primero hasta
ell tltlmo dla, con ell Cuerpo rename
la consagraci6n de mi juventud-y Que
entonces yo, as1 como muchos de mis-
cOmpatriotas, hicimos tristes compro-
baclones sobre nuestra situaci6n en-
frente del extranjero.
LA GUERRA ECONOMICAL.
Pues bien, yo he adquirido la convic
cion de que la guerra economical, bru-
talmente nacional, que Inglaterra no&
hara en- ell mar, acarreara para Alema
MIA, mucho mas que la guerra terres
tre puramente politica, con Francia,
''las consecuencias mas enojosas y nos
arrojara a sus pies.
Hablando por casualidad, acerca de
este tema, con ell presidente de nues
ira association, ell general Keim, este
me comprometi0 ocuparme de las
cuestiones econ0micas relativas a la
guerra, que no pueden estar separadas
| de las custiones militares, Y este es 10
que me propongo hacer en- la OCCASION
presente, al tratar de esas cuestiones
desde ell punto de vista de la vida prac-
! tica AL rendirme a la invitacion de

Inc fSyloWlng was cllppe0 from
recent issue of the Louisville
Herald, having been sent to F.
A. Russell, by V. @. Martin of

jury. The trial took place in
Powell county in 1888:
There was jury trial in a
MAGISTRATES court at a little
school house on a ridge some five
miles from the railroad in a
mountain country, where l am

connected with the trial and pro-
ceeiings. The magistrate had

he felt somewhat out of place.

NIGHT JOY RIDERS
 INDENTITY Is PUZZLE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MIDNIGHT LARK IS DIFFICULT
 TO PLACE

MESCAL, Jan. @. - Considerable scandal has been stirred up in ocal society circles over the appearance. late Wednesday night, of an automo- bile with boisterous jay riders be- tween the adobe building occupied by the A. c. w. Y. and the Palace rooming house. The occupants of each building are blaming the occu- pants of the other for being the priu- cipals in the lark.
 It is understood that the machine rolled up in front of the rooming hous and just behind the other build ling It was stopped and the occu- pants of tBe machine indulged in loud and boisterous conversation.
 Several of the officers of the town are reported to have approached the machine, but the occupants, seeing the arms of the law, made a nasty exit from the locality. The matter has caused a great amount of talk in al circles and the end of it is not yet in sight

ARIZONA DRY LAWS MAY DRIVE DESERT
 LABORATORY AWAY

TUCSON, Jan. 9.-Unless some way is found by which pure grain alcohol can be secured for the Carnegie des- ert laboratory, one of the most i'm. portant departments of the research recently instituted and for which SlO.- GOO building has just been erected, will have to be either given up or else carried on in some other state accoring to a statement made by Dr. D. T. McDougall, director of the in. stitution, who has just returned from the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. in Philadelphia.
 In speaking of the matter last even ing, Dr. McDouglal said:
 Pure grain alcohol is one Of the essential reagents in the chemical studies that are being made of growth, respiration and light effects. These researches are among the most important carried on by the depart. ment and new building specially de- voted to the work with an expensive equipment has juss been completed
 "If the material for the prosecution of this work cannot be brought to the laboratory in Tucson, the institution would be compelled to chose between dropping their investigation complete ly or transferring it to some place where the necessary supplies could be obtained"
 Dr. McDougall emphasized the fact that he only could speak of that chem ical work in which alcohol was es- sentially necessary, and he did not wish to make any statement concern. ing the remaining work of the desert laboratory or its removal to another state.
 lt can be easily seen however, by the ordinary person, just how conven- tent it would be to the staff of the institution to be obliged to do part of the work in another place on ac. count of a stupid state law which made the use of a chemical reagent felony punishable with imprison, ment.
 It is quite conceivable that the au- trorities at the head of the Carnegie Institute who have charge of the To- cal desert laboratory would not care
Bisbee daily review., 1915-01-10

to keep the institution in a state where their scientific workers would be continually harassed.
 The loss of the Carnegie desert lab oratory would mean a heavy blow to the City of Tucson The money spent by the institution aggregates S5O.OOO in the course of a year and with the added living expenses of fifteen scien- tific research workers would aggre- gate $25,OOO more, making a total of S75,OOO which the city would lose if the institution were removed to some other state.
 From fifty to one hundred gallons of pure grain alcohol will be used by the laboratory in the course of a year At present the laboratory has a fair sup ply and the work win not be inter- rupted for the present, but within a short time the chemical work in which pure grain alcohol is necessary must come to a stop unless relief is af- forded from the present law
 The suggestion of some that dena- natured alcohol could be used in the work of the laboratory is made by persons who have no knowledge of the chemical operations The reagents used for the denaturing of alcohol un- fit it for use in chemical work

 ASKED OF LEGISLATURE

PHOENIX. Jan. 9. Protection against bad checks. a reduction Of the homestead exemption to its for mer basis, and provision of a penalty for any person obtaining credit by misrepresentation will be among the measures urged at the coming legis- lative session by the Merchants and Manufacturers Association. Other measures. now in the hands of the committees, will probably be acted upon favorably by the association in the near future and an effort made to have them adopted by the legislature
 Among the propositions to be sub mitted at the session which opens Monday will be three measures pre- pared by the Prescott association Of merchants and manufacturers. One of these, modelled on the California law, would provide for the attach ment of wages and salaries of city county and state officials for bills ln- cured for the necessaries of life Another would have for its object eX- tending the statute of limitations on open book accounts from three years to five, and on notes and judgements from the present limit of four years to six and ten years respectively An other would protect supply houses from irresponsible contractors on pub lie buildings. Under existing stat utes supply houses cannot put a lien on public buildings, and it is stated often lose money through irresponsi- ble parties
