ASKS PURCHASE OF
MEXICAN TERRITORY
Gov. Hunt of Arizona Has an Ambi-
tious Project to Give His State
A Seaport.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. "a move
ment launched by various commercial
organizations Of the state to secure
the annexation, virtually by purchase,
of sufficient land from Mexico to ex-
tend the boundary of Arizona and Cal
ifornia to the Gulf of California has
been furthered by Gov. G. w. z. Hunt,
who announced yesterday that he had
written to Gov. I'll. w. johnson of Cal
ifornia, asking cooperation.
An offer on the part of the United
States to cancel all indemnity claims
for loss of life and damage to proper
ty during the Mexican revolution in
return for this land would straighten
the southern boundary line of Ariz-
ona and give a strip of lower Califor-
MIA, is the plan of leaders of the move
ment.
1t has been pointed out that such an
annexation of territory would give
Arizona a port on the Gulf of Cali
fornia and also bring under American
control the mouth of the Colorado riv
er and the entire Imperial Valley irri
cation system.

Earl of Derby's Report Ex-
plains Why Conscription
Is Necessary
SHARPEST STRUGGLE
SINCE THE WAR BEGAN
Is Expected in the English Parliament
Government Will Attempt to Re-
deem Premier Asquith's Pledge to
Married Men

LONDON, Jan. 4, delayed-In the
house of commons Wednesday the com
pulsory military service bill will be
taken up. 1t promises to bring on the
sharpest parliamentary struggle since
the war began. The Earl of Derby s
report on his recruiting campaign which
began Oct. % and ended Dec. Il ex-
plains why the cabinet found it neces-
sary to bring forward a measure for
compulsory enlistment for unmarried
men.
More than two and one-half million
men in England, Scotland and Wales
enrolled themselves, but after those en-
gagged in indispensable industries and
the physically unfit had been winnow
ed out about 100000 available to bear
arms remained, but there are 650,00C
unmarried men who failed to come for
ward and the government will now at
tempt to redeem Premier Asquith /
pledge that the married men should moi
be called cut so long as any ccnsidera
BILE fraction of unmarried men holC
back.
The bill providing for compulsory
military service was introduced in the
house of commons today by Premier
Asquith. The largest assemblage o.
members since the war began faced
the premier Many members had OBJ
tanned leave to return from the from
so that they might be able to vote o.
the compulsion bill. The Earl Of Derby
who conducted the recruiting campaign
was in the peers gallery.
Under the terms of the compulsory min
tary service bill introduced in the house o
commons today all males between IS ant
II who are bachelors or widowers without
children dependent on them are liable 10
military service.
Ireland is excluded from the terms of tn
measure.
Mr. Asquith opposed his address with az
analysis of the figures in the Derby report
! He emphasized that nearly 100000 me-
| had offered their services. These ar
wonderful encouraging figures, the Pre-
mier continued ''They onght to convinc
both our allies and our enemies that tn

COURT DECISIONS
OF LOCAL INTEREST
Judgment Affirmed in Kinnear &
eager and Howton Cases-Rowley-
Shepardson Case Remanded.

The Vermont supreme court yester-
day handed down several decisions of
local interest.
In the case of the Kinnear & eager
Manufacting Co. of Columbus, o.,
against Charles Miner, which has been
tried several times, the court sustains
the judgment Of $263.33 for the plain
tiff awarded at the last trial in the
county court This suit was over a
balance due for steel ceiling and
sheathing.
At the first trial in October, 1913,
the verdict was for the defendant.
The plaintiff took the case to the su-
preme court where the verdict was re-
versed and the cause remanded for a
new trial
Last April judgment was given for
the plaintiff for $26333 and this time
has been sustained by the supreme
court. IL. G. & f. Z. Barber for the
plaintiff and Chase & Chase and A. f.
Schwenk for the defendant
The suit of A. and B. Howton of
Halifax against the f. A. Strout Farm
agency, a suit that grew out of the
sale of farm by the agency to the
Howtons, who claimed that the farm
was not rs represented, resulted at a
trial in the lower court of a judg-
ment of $3.50 for the plaintiffs. The
defendant carried the case to the su-
preme court on exceptions. Judge Ha-
zelton gives the opinion affirming the
Judgment. III. G. & r. f. Barber for
the plaintiffs and A. f. Schwenk and
Stickeny, Sargent & Skeels for the de
| fendant
Another opinion is the fourth by the
supreme court on some phase or other
Of the suit of Edison f. Rowley of
| Londonderry against George W. and
| Eva c. Shepardson, another suit grow
| ing out of = real estate transaction in
| which fraud and deception were
| charged.
In the first trial of the case in the
law court judgment was given against
/ both George w. and Eva c. Shepard
son. The supreme court reversed this
decision on the ground that Mrs. Shep
ardson was not liable for any of the
! judgment
At the second trial at law a iudg
ment of $1,000 was given against
George w. Shepardson. This, also, wa,
carried to the supreme court where
the verdict was affirmed.
A bill in ehancery was brought
/ then against Doth George w. and Eva
G. Shepardson in an effort to collect
the judgment from property of Mrs
Shepardson. The supreme court heiC
that recovery could not be made under
that bill
Another chancery trial was held un
der a new bill in which some evidenc,
offered by the plaintiff was excluded
The case was taken to the supreme
court for the fourth time and the
judgment of the chauncery court is re
versed and the case remanded for tri
al. Chase & Daley for Rowley anC
II. G. & F. E. Barber for the defend
ants.
