When Woman
Deputy Goes After
Man She Gets Him

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-No, stranger,
the deputy sheriff of Santa Cruz county
in Arizona, doesn't care shucks about
New York-she doesn't. No typograph-
ical error, stranger-the deputy sheriff
of Santa Cruz county is a she. Her
name is Mrs. Lucretia Roberts, and
shortly after becoming a widow she
went into the shrievalty business. And
when seen at the Hotel McApine she
said she thoroughly like Infinitely
more than New York.
Il wouldn't live here in New York if
they gave it to me-" said the sheriff.
TOO much noise of slamming street
car doors and too many short skirts on
the women. Give me Yuma every time.
l don't like the East"
Perhaps she misses the insignia of
her office that she wears out Yuma
way-the f1aring sombrero, rife, shoot
ing irons and cartridge belt and big,
glittering badge, and the cantering
horse and the ready lariat swinging
from the saddle.
Asked what she did when sent ouut
after a man, she said:
Il go get him"
"But, then, that's rule with young
widows, anyway"

Our Merchant Tonnage Of s,31e,4s6

Washington, D. C.-The Euro
pean war has placed the United
States second among the maritime
nations of the world. Acting Secre-
tary Sweet of the department of com
merce, in announcing this, pointed out
that the increase might not be perma-
nent.
The total of American merchant
shipping on June 80, was 26.577 YES
sells of 8,819,496 tons, an increase of
$780, 98 gross tons during the year.
A decrease of S66 in the number of
ships was explained to be due to the
greater size of modern vessels.
THE total merchant tonnage of the
United States" said Secretary Sweet,
sis exceeded only by the merchant
shipping under the British flag which
is approximately 2~1,275,500 tons.
American shipping is greater than
the merchant tonnage under the Nor
wegian, French, Italian and the
Dutch flags combined. The figures,
however, include foreign, coastwise,
lake and river traffic"

ship also carries a large cargo of mer-

The Santa Ana carried no munitions
Of war or inflammable material Of
any kind, according to Howard E..
Jones, a member Of the firm of local
agents. Her cargo. consisted chiefly
of foodstuffs.
Nearly all of the Italian r~eservists
were among the steerage passengers,
Jones stated, there being compare
lively few first and second class
cabin passengers.
Jones said that the position of the
vessel, as given in the wireless mes
sage, would put her about $50 miles
southeast of Halifax, or nearly in mid
ocean.
The Santa Ana, he said, sailed from
this port on September 8. She was
due to reach Naples, her first stop, in
from ten and a half to eleven DAYS.
THE Santa Ana carried no NUM-
lions of war;" said Jones. I'm fact,
the Fabre line has not been carrying
any arms or ammunition to ports in
the Mediterranean touched by its
steamers. I cannot understand the
cause of the fire. Her merchandise
cargo was made up of foodstuffs and
provisions"
Beside the number Of Italian reserv-
lists aboard the Santa Ana, the ship
carried a small number of first and

numbered about 100.

Bachem declares that he recently

Bachem asserts that it is hard to
escape the belief, therefore, that there
is a System" behind reports concern

various shades, ranging from white to
almost black, and we're grown from
white parent seed. Brabham has been
experimenting with colored cotton for
Q number of years.
He has not yet secured a fast black
cotton, but thinks he can. The inter-
mediate shades between the white and
black are distinct and clear. Brabham
says there are five primal colors of
cotton, four Of which have survived,
the black being lost. Brabham Sc
cured seeds of cotton from all over
the world and by crossing them Sc
cured several tints, a dark bronze be-
ing the nearest thing to black yet per

Washington, d. C.-Gen. Carran-
"a, in his reply to the Pan-American
conferees, it was learned here, will
agree to discuss any International
aspects of the Mexican situation, but
will decline to enter a conference on
internal affairs.
Carranza's answer is said to decline
the effore extended by Secy. Lansing
and the Latin-American diplomats to
arrange a conference of the Mexican
factions to choose a provisional gov
eminent.
Carranza's main contention, it Is
said, will be that his forces are in
practical control Of the country, and
to enter into such a conference would
have no beneficial effect.
Gen. Carranza will declare, how
ever, that he does not wish to ignore
the friendly interest of the United
States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Boil
via, Uruguay and Guatelama, and for
that reason will say that If there are
any international aspects which can
properly be considered with represen-
tatives of the Pan-American govern
ment he will appoint representatives
to meet them,
1t is pointed out by American Off
Gals that there are international as
well as internal questions in the Mexi-
can situation that ne..d consideration
and adjustment. One is whether Car
rama is in a position to afford ade-
quate protection to life and property
and another ncern payment of
claims of foreigners growing out of
