 'The Irish rebellion was the act of brave and patriotic men who are neither firebrands non hot heads, ' said MT. Moore. Now that MT.

THREE MEXlCANS ARE EXAMINED AND SENT
 TO THE ASYLUM
Lunacy Commission In Tomb stone Has Busy Session. Ar rested For Shooting Small Boy At Courtland

TOMBSTONE. April 2S.-(Special) To-day was Mexican insanity day in court. There were three cases up be fore the Lunacy Commission. The first was Felipe Flores, who was found out in the country near Douglas and was engaged in making a multi gan out of a lot of thirty-thirty bull lets that he had. He stated he was going to eat them when they were cooked. He is believed to be a form CT Mexican soldier.
 The next one on the list was Jesus Castillo, who was found wondering around the country in the vicinity of Bowie by Constable Pruitt. He had a big club in his hand and stated that he had it to protect himself with as his enemies had already killed his wife and were after him.
 The third was Ladislado Aceda, also of Douglas. He had versions of persecution and thought that some one was after him to kill him.
 After the examination they were all committed to the asylum and were taken to Phoenix by an attache of the sheriffs office.
 James McFaden, who plead guilty to a charge of passing bogus check in Bisbee on the Citizens Bank and Trust company and sentenced to serve flom one to five years, and Lee Grad lz. ,xx frN ten years for an assault with a dead ly weapon in Lowell. were taken along to the penitentiary at the same time.
 Went to Courtland.
 County Attorney John F. Ross was in Courtland today to attend the of a Mexican named Felix Mason. Mason was arrested in Doug- las on Wednesday by the officers after he had been pointed out by Juan Lopez, who had been trying to locate him for several week. It seems that at a dance several weeks ago in Court land Mason took a shot at Lopez but missed him and the bullet hit his young son who will be a cripple for life. Mason is chargede with assault with intent to murder.
 Assessing Nearing Completion
 County Assessor E. A. Hughes re- turned home last evening from Doug las, where he has been the past week, completing the annual assessment work in that end of the county. Chief Deputy Walter Thomas has just com pleted assessing Tombstone, and with the other outside work about the coun- ty about completed, the assessors of flee has assumed a scene of busy activity. The office force is checking up assessments and entering up the rolls. While the assessing of the county is by no means completed, still the masor portion of the outside work is over with and soon Bisbee and Douglas will be completed by Mir. Hughes deputies here.

United States Commissioner Taylor had busy day of it yesterday. Dur ing the forenoon his attention was talk en up in the hearing of the prelimina- ry examination of Mrs. Nellie Wise man, who is charged with a conspir- acy to bring young Mexican girl across the line at Naco for immoral purposes.

HARRY WHEELER MAKES ANSWER ID LETTER OF
 FEDERATION WORKER
Sheriff Calls Into Question Certain Of Bucknam's Ar guments. Maintains He Is Entirely Within The Law

The following letter, from the per of Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler, was re ceived by The Review yesterday. i is in answer to several letters by \ R. Bucknam, secretary of the Co chise County Dry Federation.
 Tombstone, ATIzona.
 April 2Sth, 1916. To the Citizens of Cochise County:
 By courtesy of the Bisbee Daily
 Review.
 Answer to open letters of A. R Bucknam. addressed to Sheriff Vince Ter and County Attorney Ross; last letter under date of April 11th, ir the Bisbee Daily Review.
 Having learned that through MT Bucknam's open letters to the Coun- ty Attorney and myself that the av- esag citiens believe my course in arresting all persons caught introduc- ing intoxicating liquor into Arizona is a course of persecution more than prosecution, and further having learned that through medium of MT. Bncknam's letters the average citi- zen is of the opinion that my course is one of personal arrogance and not law: and further finding my efforts hampered by the erroneous ideas thus obtained, by the public, through medium of MT. Bucknam's letters, he supposedly being prohibitionist, al though apparently siding in with those opposed to the law of prohibit tion, consequently he is actually en- eouraging the violation of the intro ductory clause of the prohibition law, which I, as sheriff. am sworn to ar tempt to enforce. Nearly every ar rested person now cites MT. Buck nam as his authority and reason for his violation of the introductory clause
 Tn view of the above circumstances I went to Phoenix and obtained from Attorney General Wiley Jones, not only the Attorney Generals opinion, but the exact wording of the Supreme Courts decision, at least such parts of said decision which make my du- tics CLEAR. IT APPEARS be yond dispute that my only way is TO ARREST EACH AND EVERY PER SON BRINGING INTO ARIZONA IN TOXICATING LIQUORS: THAT AFTER EACH ARREST THE DE PENDANT MUST BE TAKEN BE FORE the MOST ACCESSIBLE JUS TTCE OF THE PEACE. BEFORE WHOM THE DEFENDANT MAY ADVANCE AS HIS DEFENSE THE PERSONAL USE CLAUSE.
 A Sheriff is merely executive in the administration of the law. He cannot appropriate to himself judi cial powers. a,s suggested by MT. Pucknam. What would you, citizens
Bisbee daily review., 1916-04-29

of Cochise County, think of your
 sheriff were he 10 take unto himself
 the powers of judge, Tn a case ol
 murder or any crime?
 If, after aL ordinary crime commit
 ted, I found the criminal and instead
 of taking him before a magistrate ! constituted myself both court and jury and dismissed the prisoner with
 out any other formality. what would
 you say? What would you think You would Immediately arise in Tn dignaton and say that I had no such
 power. Therefore, how can you ex- pect me logically 10 act in strict con formity with the law and the courts
 in the one case and yet expect me to ignore the law and the courts in another case.
 The following is a clause, word for word, of the Arizona Constitutional Amendment regarding prohibition.
 SECTION l. Ardent Spirits, beer, ale, wine, or intoxicating liquor or liquors of whatever kind shall not be manufactured, in or introduced into the State of Arizona. under any pre- tense Every person who sells, ex- changes, gives, barters or disposeS Of any ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine or intoxicating liquor, of any kind to any person, in the State of Arizona, or who manufactures introduces into, or attempts to introduce Into the State of Arizona, any ardent spir- its, ale, beer, wine or intoxicating li- ,f 1~; -F, ha ornilfN of .l misdemeanor."
 Section 2.-The legislature shay, by appropriate legislation, provide for the carrying into effect of this amend ment. (This the Legislature failed to do, leaving the law as now in complete)
 Following is a portion, word for word. of the Supreme Courts decis- ion, as regards personal use.
 "The constitutional amendment does not, in terms, relieve any speci- fled acts, OR PERSONS, from the general operation of the prohibitory words of the law, and such not enter ing into a description of the offense. or as a qualification of the language defining or creating the offense, a negative averment of matter of eX- exists, it is matter of de- exists, it sa matter of de- fense WHICH THE PROSECUTION NEED NOT ANTICIPATE
 From what has been said it must not be understood that the mere slaim that intoxicating liquor has been brought in by one for his per sonal use renders such a person i'm rnune from prosecution. Any one bringing intoxicating liquors into Arizona from outside the limits of he state DOES so AT HIS PERIL. Whether he subjects himself to pun shment or not depends on the use .o which intoxicating liquor is to be put If the jury under appropriate instructions as to what use would be a violation of the law of this state gre convinced beyond a reasonable ioubt from all the evidence and cir in the case that such in liquor is intended by any person interested therein to be re- .ceived, Possessed, sold, or in any manner used in violation of any law ,f Arizona. it would be their duty to ,onvict.

Sudden and dramatic as the up- rising has been. it could surprise no body who has followed the course of Irish affairs since the outbreak of the war. MoreoverS it completely shames the carefully constructed myth that the mere passing of a mock hor rule bill had transformed Ireland i1- to an intregal part of the British em pire."
