PEACE SUGGESTIONS FUTILE
GERMAN CHANCELLOR ASSETS

Berlin, June "a profound sensa-
ton has been caused by the great
speech made yesterday before the
Reichstag by Chancellor Won Beth
manufactures, in which he declared
that any further suggestions Of peace
by Germany would be futile and evil,
His eloquent appeal to hold on until
victory was theirs and the CATEGORICAL
defiance he hurled at England we're
g. tied with thunders OF applause. AT
| lie conclusion Of his speech the
Chancellor received a tremendous ova-
ton, the cheering being renewed again
and again.
All parties Joined in the ovation with
the exception of the Conservatives and
the Socialists, who seeded with DR..
Liebknecht.
The Chancellor appealed for the un-
ity Of all parties, declaring that politl-
cal lines ought to be obliterated during
the prosecution of the war. The con-
clusion OF his speech brought almost
the entire house to their feet in wild
outburst of enthusiasm.
81 see the entire nation" he said,
"in heroic stature fighting for its fu-
ture, our sons and brothers fighting
and dying side by side. There we see
the equal love for home in all. The
sacred fame of love of home steals ev-
cry heart so that they defy death and
suffer I'm thousands. Only heart
completely dried up can escape the af-
fecting impression of the great print
tive strength of this people.
my belief in my people and my love
for my people gives me a conviction
firm as rock that we shall fight and
conquer as we have fought and con-
quered hitherto. Our enemies wish to
let it go on to the end. We fear Meth
err death nor devil not even the hunger
devil which they wish to send into
our country.
"The men who fight out there
around Berdun, who fight under Hin

showed Albion that rats bite, are fash
Toned from a breed that knows how to
bear privations also. These privations
are here. l admit it calmly aud open
! ly even to foreign countries, but We
will bear them.
"In this fight against hunger We will
also make progress. Gracious Heaven
allowed a good harvest this year. II
will not be worse, but better than in
the previous hard year. This calcula-
ton of our enemies on our economic
difficulties will prove to be deceptive

BIRTH CONTROL IN TEXAS

(Sherman (TeXas) Cor. New York

The old axiom that too much is suf-
hcient was again illustrated today
when thousands of Texas roosters,
having made serious faux pass in the
matter of conservative coop conduct,
suffered severe operation upon their
necks, Today they are resting quiet
iy various Texas butcher shops.
The reason for forcing birth control
upon the hens of the state is that the
farmers have been getting 30 many
eggs that prices have steadily slumped.
or late the price of drama missiles
has been 30 low that even the ultimate
consumer was satisfied. and 1t became
obvious that the farmer must take
drastic action. Theye spared only

DO 1T NOW

The principal argument OF the free
traders seems to be that with Europe
in war. a higher tariff is not needed
now. This, OF course. follows the
same logic used by the Arkansas man
who refused to patch his roof i'm dry
weather because II didn't need IL then.
When IL rained he couldn't do the
work because II was too wet. And
when the European war is finished a
lot OF folks in America are going to
get wet II the patching is put on until

One of the most remarkable vet
Urinary operations ever seen in New
ton occurred here today when a horse
belonging to Nicholas Brazi, veg
etable peddler, bit off more than he
could chew. The steed, known to his
intimate associates as Gladiola ILL.,, is
resting comfortably, but his owner,
Nicholas cannot sleep a wink.
Mr.. Brazi was delivering a consign-
ment of new potatoes yesterday at the
home of Mrs. Pason p. HOyt, and, as
has long been his custom, left Gladiola
outside. When he came out he saw
the horse with its head at an awkward
angle and close up to clothes pole,
making noise like the last words OF
a bicycle pump, He had kicked the
last OF the new potatoes in the general
direction of Newark and was just
punting Mr.. Brazis business coat over
the barn when discovered.
A glance showed Mr.. Brazil that Gla-
diola had eaten strip of clothesline

TO MAKE FINAL PLANS
 FOR BIG CHAUTAUQUA
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Active work will be started Mon- day by the Chautauqua committees. under the direction of Chairman Frank Whisman. on final plans for the holding of the Prescott Chautau- qua. which will open in the Mile High City. July 19th Once the citizens of Prescott and surrounding district ia miliarize themselves with the class or entertainment to be offered. Chairman WhiSman is confident that season tickets will be at a premium. A can vass of all business and professional houses in the city will be made first, followed by an individual house to house canvass.
 The program will be given under the auspices of the Redpath-Horner Chautauquas and is declared to be one of the best arrays of talent ever offered in Arizona. The present year marks the tenth anniversary of the Redpath-Horner Company in circuit Chautaudua work. Tn referring to the success of their work, Messrs. Oberfelder and HOrner recently said:
 We are profoundly grateful to the public, to the newspapers, and to the many pnilanthrOpic and civic institu- tons for the assistance they have rem dcred in building up this great Chau- tauqua institution. Ten years ago the Circuit ChautGuqua idea, so far as any practical use Is concerned. was born. It was uphill business to get this cir cult started in few towns. but the idea finally met with enthusiastic re- sponse and this year there are thou sands of Circuit Chautauquas, all practically modelled after this one Of the two original circuits.
 'Wc have not had very mucn to say in the last few days, because we have always believed that actions are much more important than words, for peo- pie in our position. and on this, the tenth anniversary, we have decided to show our gratitude to the public by offering more for their money than has ever been offered before. We nave made this program the biggest in the history of the Chautauqua, and 1t IS because we owe so much to the public that we make this our thank offering. It sounds like profound cgotism when we say we are offering this. when. after all, we are not doing much. at least we are only doing our part. It IS to the splendid men and women of many cities who arc back ing these Chautauquas with their money and their influence, to whom thanks should be given.
 We believe they will like this pro gram. It is ,he result of ten years of work and .n our opinion. 1t IS the best that has ever before been offered in any city. Regardless of expense. we have done our best and we sin crcly hope our many friends will be DleaSed.'

NEW STATE HTS B|G BODY OF
 HIGH GRADE
CROSSCUT TUNNEL TAPS SIX FEET OF S285 GOLD ORE AT A DEPTH OF 360 FEET.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Reports in circulation on Monday of a very rich strike having been made in the New State mines of w.. s. Wilhelm. near the old Mescal mill site on the Hassayampa river, were corroborated yesterday by the arrival of four miners from the camp, who gave detailed information of what had been accomplished. A gold bon anza, they stated has been determined The discovery was made in cross cut tunnel that had been under head way for over one year, to get under inc old shaft and give a depth of ap' Droximatelv 360 feet When the shoot was tapped last Saturday an ore body of six feet in width carrying average gold values of $2S5 to the ton was re turned by assays given. The infor- nation given was that the principal values were in four-foot ore body. while two feet was designated as T good grade of the milling class.
 MT. Wilhelm purchased this prop erty from Robert Griffith in Novem Der of 1914. and at intervals since has been contracting development. Re gently. however. he rc-let another con- tract. to drive the tunnel to the point where his efforts have been well re- warded. and his well founded theory has been fully substantiated. The New State is one of the holdings of two California companies which arc interested in other properties of that field. among them the Ruth. which is making an excellent record in silver lead-zinc production. The Elk and Perry also are included. which are located on the same contact as the New State. The latter had been oc- casionallv developed for over 30 years and its product shipped to Colorado smelters in carly days. Griffith sold the property on cash basis for 5000 This strike is occasioning a revival of old-time excitement that prevailed when the Sterling made such big showing in its free milling product. The New State. however. by the depth reached, has penetrated the sulphide zone

SHAPING THINGS UP
 FOR BIG CELEBRATION
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)


 No small part of the Frontier Days work is that assigned to the adver- Using committee. for from this work must come the crowds and the con testants. This part of the program has been well in hand for some time with Chairman Vim. Greenwood and Secretary Grace Sparkcs in charge. Over 2.5G0 posters and prize lists de scribing the celebration have been distributed throughout the State. Ad- vertisements have been placed in all the leading papers of the State, as well as news stories, which are sent out weekly by the secretary. The principal theatres are carrying slide advertisements.
 One feature which will materially help put the Frontier Days before the eyes of the world is the fact that re- gently John Evans. correspondent for the Associated Press at Los Angeles. requested as much data as possible on this celebration. He will compil- comprehensive story by mail to all newspapers served by the Associated Press and a much more detailed story will be handled later in this manner. to be supplemented by a wire story.
 Prescott merchants. realizing the advantage of advertising the From tier Days celebration as much as pos sible. arc already beginning the deco ration of their windows. This assists very materially in view of the fact that many out-of-town people are re- minded of the coming show when they see the display windows. E1. Block and Bob Young were among the first to have their windows deco rated Blocks is extremely artistic and typical of the Frontier Days, as also is Young's Other merchants are urged by the Frontier Days manage ment to fall in line. While there may be a shortage of Frontier Days shirts, all clothiers have made ar to have plenty of Western handkerchieis and hats.

JEROME VICTOR TO
 SINK SHAFT DEEPER
Special Correspondence.

opCCldl 0OIIESpOiltICilSC-
 JEROME, June 15.- In a letter telling of the development of the Je- rome-Victor Extension Mining Com pany. the following is noted:
 Tt is the belief that when the shaft has attained @ few hundred feet oi additional depth. commercial ere will be encountered. Notwithstanding Victor's shalt is down to a depth of over l.200 feet. only, 160 feet of lat eral work was extended on this level. indicating that even at this depth, the property is not thoroughly developed. Owing to the development of the Je- rome district. it is conceded that th- ores of the district extend downward to a greater depth than was before realized. This is confirmed by the report that Clark's United Verde has recently installed machinery. which will permit the company sinking to a depth of 5000 feet. whereas now. their deepest level is 1.SOO feet. This is also confirmed by the strike of large orc bodies at the United Verde Ex tension, the best ore. so far. having been found or the l.400-foot level"
 The properties of the Jcrome-Victor Extension lie east of the United Yer dc and are known as the old Haynes property. There are eight claims in the JeromeVictor group.

FIRST DECREE
 MURDER IS VERDICT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Henry and Willis Azbill, of Yava- pal county. have been found guilty of murder in the first degree. with the penalty of death attached to the yer dict. was the information received yesterday from Flagstaff. where the trial took place before the Superior court of Coconino county. The jury deliberated only Is minutes to reach the verdict, from which it is believed the evidence was conclusive of the guilt Of these two brothers.
 The crime was without doubt one of the most wanton and cold-blooded ever known in Northern Arizona. a young man of only "A years of age, named Henry Thomas. of Phoenix. being the victim. He was travelling with the Azbills out of Phoenix on a hunting trip. It is presumed in addi- ton to quite Q sum of money he had on his person, jewelry of considfable value and personal effects of the young man led to his being done away with last September on the range of the Johnston Cattle Co.,, near Will liams. Thomas evidently was shot and killed, and his body thrown into lake with large rock fastened around his neck. In some manner not known this impeachment became loosened. and several weeks afterward the corpse drifted to the surface at the side Of the lake, where it was dis covered by Paul Moore, foreman of the Johnston Company, who immedi- ately notified pr. R. \. Looney, a stockholder. of Prescott.
 Sheriff Dickerson and County At torney Wilson then started an inves tigation. and the long hunt for the criminals was conducted under con ditions without any knowledge what ever as to whom was guilty. Finally the Azbills were suspected, and a vague description of both was the only clue they had to follow. They were followed from one point to an other through Mohave, Yavapai. Co conino and Maricopa counties. and when finally run down were on the desert near Wendcn in Yuma county They were placed under arrest early in the present year and taken to Flagstaff. In their possession were many effects Of their victim, while at different points on their route were found articles which they mad sold belonging to Thomas, all of which were identified al the trial by the father and mother of the dead boy.
 The trial occupied over ten days. and witnesses from four counties num- bered to over l25. The main effort of the defense was to prove an alibi. in which the Azb:lls contended that they were in Phoenix on the dates specified but other witnesses said they were seen on the Mogollon mountains in company with Thomas. The con victed men are well known in Pres colt and throughout this county. where they resided for many years. until recently.

s45. 900 ASKED IN
 DAMAGE SUIT
(From Wednesdays Daiiy.)

(FrOm Wednesdays Daiiy.)
 Two damage suits for sums aggrc gating S45,500 were filed in the Su perior court yesterday against George NJ. White and the Maryland Casualty Company as the result of the collapse of part of the ruins of the oil court house last March. when Louis w. Schooler was killed and George H. Ball injured
 The first suit. for S2O,0C0. was filed on behalf of Schooler's widow and three minor children by Frank Tur ner, administrator of the estate of the deceased. The complaint alleges that White had entered into a con tract with the county for wreckine the court house and had agreed to take out liability insurance for all men employed in the work. On or about March 18th, the complaint reads. Schooler was employed in the base ment of the court house and White was directing the pulling down of one of the walls. The wall fell on top of the floor above Schooler. 1t is claimed. caving in the floor and caus- ing Schooler's death. The complaint charges that Schooler's death was due to the carelessness and negli- gencc of White and asks that S20000 be awarded the surviving members of the family.
 Balls suit is based on practically the same grounds. Ball alleges that injuries ne received in the accident will probably prevent him forever from pursuing his occupation as la borer and miner. and have and will. cause him continual suffering and pain. He asks for S25.000 damages and $500 for costs.
 In neither of the suits is the coun tv held liable in any way, copies of Whites contract with the supervis- ors being attached to both complaints and special attention given to the fact that White agreed in this con tract 10 furnish liability insurance for his emDlOyes
