It was freely predicted in Teutonic diplomatic circles when the Italian ship Giuseppe Verdi was allowed to sail recently from New York with guns mounted that a communication on the subject was immediately to follow the arrival of another foreign ship simi- larly armed.

convicted in the Superior Court to
which he made appeal, of the same
offense. His offense was considered
especially damnable because he en-
couraged boys to steal. Like a Fagin
he was accused of teaching children
to become thieves. He was sentenced
to four months Imprisonment and
to pay a fine of 5000.
THE Board of Pardons and Parole
liberated Ilitzky this week. His fine
was remitted. Governor Hunt issued
the proclamation of parole which
reads in, part as follows
Whereas, it has been made to ap-
pear to the satisfaction of the execu-
tive that the prisoner has, during his
Incarceration in the Cochise County
Jail, fully complied with the rules
and regulations of that institution:
Whereas at a meeting Of the
Board of Pardons and Paroles, held
at Phoenix on the Goth day of Septem-
ber, 1916, the said Isador Ilitzky was
recommended to the Governor of Ari-
zona for release on parole;
Now, therefore, 1 George w. P.
Hunt, Governor of the State of Ari-
zona, in consideration of the premises
and by virtue of the authority vested
in me by law, do grant to the said
Isador Ilitzky, the prisoner aforesaid,
permission to go without the inclosure
of the Cochise County Jail and to
have the fine of two hundred $4,000
dollars imposed upon him by the
court, remitted.
What were the facts as laid before
Governor Hunt which induced him to
issue his proclamation? These facts
are known to the members of the
Board, consisting of Wiley E. Jones,
c. o. Case, and Curt Miller. Did the
Board impose on Governor Hunt?
Did Governor Hunt suggest to any
member or the Board as a whole that
Ilitzkys pardon was desirable?
eff Ilitzky is the undesirable citi-
zen, the evil genius of Arizona youth
which the courts picture him, his re-
storation to society would seem to be
objectionable. He was convicted of
crime, yet even his fine was remitted.
Surely, citizens are entitled to know
the facts in the case"

NELSON NEAR
DEATH IN FALL

James Nelson met with an accident
Tuesday night that came near result
ing in his death. Nelson had taken
part in the Knights of Pythias pro
gram in the K. P. Hall being one Of
the Johnson, Parker, Nelson trio.
One of their numbers was the last
on the program. After finishing the
song Nelson stepped to the door.
At the top of the stairs was a small
dog and Nelson stopped to pet the
animal. Raising up he lost his bal
ance and pitched backward down the
stairway lighting on the back of
his neck with his head under his body.
Spectators carried him to an auto
mobile and he was rushed to the hos
pital where Doctors Crawford and
Perkins made hurried examination.
His body did not show the slightest
bruise but the young man remained
unconscious until a. m. Wednes-
day morning. He is still in the
hospital and at last reports was re-
covering nicely DR.. Crawford said
only the fact that young Nelson had
short thick neck amply protected
with muscles, saved him from in
stant death.

BISBEE, Ariz., Oct. 13.-The re-
cent pardon of Isador Ilitzky and the
issuance of proclamation by the
governor ordering his fine of 5000 to
oe remitted has created a storm of
indignation in Cochise county, where
Ilitzky's career is well known. The
fact that Hitzky was accused of hav-
ing taught small boys to steal, and to
thieves mas made his release on
parole the occasion of hundreds of
protests.
Under the heading Let the People
Know the Bisbee Review says:
Condemnation has been general and
approval scant of the o-called "pri-
son policy in Arizona which has re-
suited in the wholesale liberation Of
men convicted of all classes of crime,
ranging from manslaughter and rape
to grand and petit larcency. $50 cur

therefore potential criminals to So
ciety where thy not only can but do
menace women and children, raid
property and defy law that the courts
are in danger of coming into disrepute
Outraged society might soon come
to believe that it is without protection.
1T may be that the Arizona public
is not justified in reaching conclu-
sions which prevail at the present
time. The Board of Pardons and
Parole may unintentionally have been
remiss in not taking the public into
it's confidence, and by failing to make
known the merits of cases in which
leniency was exercised contributed
to popular d1strust if not disgust.
Opportunity for the Board to come
forth in the open is presented in the
case of Isador Ilitzky whose liberia
tion from the county Jail at Tomb
stone seems to have been attended by
irregularity. 1t is also suggested that
he was not proper subject for
clemency.

fact that this convict's reputation was
so unsavory that he was denied the

MINES DEFEAT ALL STARS,

All Stars and Miners clashed on

frame the home boys, with the help
of one Fred Carisch and Nick De-
maggio's base running sneaked one
across in the dusk. thereby winning
the first game of the series by a 2
to score.
1t was a formidable looking bunch
of ball tossers that opposed the cham
pions of 1856. Johnson was the
one best bet of Fred Carisch, who
heads the All Star aggregation and
Carisch did the receiving. Delhi and
Tonneman was Beaumiller's battery
choice. Johnson had a world of
steam and had trouble in locating
the plate walking nine men and
striking out seven. Three hits were
garnered by the town boys Delhi
pitched his usual brilliant game
whiting three and allowing six hits
two of which resulted from the mis-
judging of fly balls. Bearwald a
new conner in Tri Copper League
baseball got in solid with the fans
by his fast work i'll the outfield. He
also got one of the three hits John
son gave out. Sorey at short played
good ball for the Miners. Galena and
Stadelli pulled down several in the
All Star outer garden while Garritty
and Flick divided in field honors.
Garrftty also got two hits off his
old team mate, one of them a double.
The Miners scored first in the
second inning when Smith started
off with a double to right. Hosp
in center Smith went to third after
the catch and scored when F1ick's
relay got away from him. The All
Stars tied the score in the fourth.
Sorey threw fout Mcdonnell Bender
: walked, stole second and went to third
on Tonremans overthrow. Galena
sacrificed Delhi to scanlon, Bender
scoring.
That was all until the eleventh.
Johnson walked Demaggio and paved
the way for his defeat
Smith got his second hit, single
to center. Galena's quick return held
Demaggio at second. With Hosp at
bat Nick played far off second Gar
rity flashed in behind him to cover
second and Carisch evidently in
tended to make the play there but
Nick crossed him when he dashed for
third. Carisch had started his throw
and endeavored to cneck. it. The
ball rolled directly between second
and third base with no one having
a chance to recover it. Demaggio
scored. Cool and threatening wealth
er kept the crowds at home.
