 The former president made this known when he passed through this city at s:20 Sunday evening enroute from Phoenix to Albuquerque where he spoke yesterday.
 He also admitted that the northern parts of both Arizona and New Mexi- co are practically solidly democratic but said that in the southern part of the two states where there have been Mexican depredations. there is some anti-wilson sentiment.
 He gave the information that the workingmen all through the west are solid for Wilson. and that in Arizona the workingmen are solid for Gov. Hunt.
 MT. Roosevelt also is said to have declared that although Gov. Hunts pardoning of prisoners has lost him . few influential friends that 1t has not impaired his prospects for the governorship.

WHEELER WANTS MOTOR
 DEPUTY FOR sPEEDERs

DOUGLAS. Oct. 25.-If Sheriff Harry Wheeler can secure the ap- pointment of . motorcycle deputy. he intends to have a man constantly stationed on the roads of the coun- y. in order that dangerous speed ng shall be eliminated. The sher-
 has requested the board of super
 isors to purchase the machine and aid yesterday he hoped to be sue
 essful in getting it shortly.
 If I can get the motorcycle. the pDeed laws will be enforced and much of the dangerous speeding that goes toward making the state high way perilous for people wishing to use 1t for legitimate purposes, will be done away with" said he sher- in.
 The legal speed limit on the road is 30 miles an hour. Many cars go 50 to 50 miles. though. would recommend that no one go faster han 25 miles over the Bisbee road ,ecause it is narrow and treacherous In that way many accidents will be avoided.
 'T want to call the attention of au- tomobile owners to the number of car thefts which have occurred re- gently even though they intend to leave the cars only . short time. That will prevent thieves getting away with them. For several weeks we have had an average of one car a day stolen and used for joy riding. The cars are always found within . day or so in some part of the country but generally are badly broken"

INTER MoUkTAiN RATE
 HEARING NOVEMBER 30

Phoenix. Aria. Oct. 23.-The Ari- zona Corporation Commission has telegraphic advice from Washington indicating that the Intermountain rate hearing will be opened Novem- Der 20 at Chicago. and continued at salt Lake City and San Francisco. The general question of rates from the East to Arizona and other Inter- mountain states has been before the Federal Commission. the Congress oi the United States and various courts, for the past ten years. Re- Gently the Interstate Commerce Com mission found that water competi- Ion between the Atlantic Seaboard and the Pacific coast had been SO re- uuced as to remove the force that the ,ranscontinental railroads had here ,ofore relied upon to justify lower ates to the Pacific coast than to in- termediate poinrs. Thereupon. the railroads. instead of reducing the rates to Arizona to the basis of the coast rates. increased the coast rates generally. such increases amounting to as high as one hundred per cent. Increases were also sought to be made at intermediate points.
 A vigorous protest went up from the shippers of the entire United States. resulting i nthe Washington Commis. sion holding up the proposed ad. vaEces. In the meantime. Reno. Spokane and Arizona filed formal petitions with the Interstate Com. merce Commission, in effect demand. ing that the long and short haul pro- visions of the law be strictly en. forced. The matter is highly impor. tant to the Intermountain states, and il is believed the hearings in Chica. go, Salt Lake City and San Francisco will attract nationwide interest. The State Commission will be represent. ed to protect the interests of Ari. zona shippers and the public in gen. era
 Following the lntermountain rate hearings, the Interstate Commerce Commission will hear, at Phoenix on December II, the complaint of the Arizona Commission against inter. state passenger rates. The history of this case goes back some two years. al which time the railroads operating in Arizona attempted to increase rates from all points east to ali points in Arizona an average of about four dollars a ticket. The Arizona Commission protested these advances and showed at a hearing of the case in Chicago that the rates from Eastern points to Arizona were then from SIP to SIS higher per pas senger than to points in Idaho. Mon. ana, Oregon and Washington for equal distances. The Washington Commission refused to allow the roads to increase their rates to Ari. zona and indicated in its opinion that the rates to Arizona should be based upon a three cent per mile rate applying in New Mexico and Arizona The State Commission thereupon filed . petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission praying that the rates from all East ern states to all points in Arizona be placed upon . parity with rates under like conditions prevailing to points in other Intermountain states to the North. The case is of con. siderable importance to everyone iu

RECEIVE GERMAN DYES
First Consignment Brought Over on
Deutschland In New York.

New York, Aug. 15.-The first
consignment of dyes brought from
Germany by the submarine freighter
Deutschland has been received by a
coloring company in this city, and
constitutes the first shipment of the
kind to reach this city from German
manufacturers since the beginning
of the war Other dyestuff users
here received bills of lading for some
of the Deutschland's cargo, which is
estimated to have included about 200
tons of dyes, valued in excess of ST.
100000.
1t is reported that high prices are
demanded for these dyes, but one of
the consignees here said that 1t was
absurd to believe that fabulous profits
will be realized on their sale. He
declared that the cost of the dyes in
Germany is at least twice what it
was before the war. The dyes
brought by the Deutschland were not
in the form of paste, composed of 10
and 20 per cent dye and the rest
paste, but are 100 per cent dye.

the Premier, have suffered by bru-
talities even more gross and on a
more extended scale than ourselves
by action of the German authorities,
We are in consultation with them as
to the best, most effective steps to
be taken and as to what conditions
should be expected in the terms of
peace to secure reparation that will
satisfy justice"

ment was prepared to make a state
ment that Emperor William is want

THIRD EDITION OF
White BOOK ISSUED
SECRETARY LANSING'S SUCCESS
TION TO DISARM MERCHANT
MEN REJECTED.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE third
edition OF the American White Book,
containing tabulated copies of corre-
spondence exchanged by the State
Department with European bellig-
erents during recent months has Just
been issued by the department. 1t
contains no important communica-
lions the substance of which has not
been published, but reveals for the
first time some of the memoranda
dealings with armed merchantmen,
the presence of allied cruisers off
American ports and other subjects.
Secretary Lansing's suggestion that
merchantmen be disarmed is shown
to have been firmly rejected by all
the Allied Powers, the British AM
bassador, in a memorandum dated
March 23, summing up their position
by saying the Allies are unable to
agree that upon a non-guaranteed
German promise, human life may be
surrendered defenseless to the mercy
of an enemy who, in circumstances
of this kind as in many others, has
shown himself to be both faithless
and lawless."
Secretary Lansing on November
16, 1915, it is shown, sent a note to
the German Ambassador summarize
ing dozen cases in which German
officers and men had escaped from
German cruisers interned in the
United States, declaring that 1.-THE
United States Government regards
the actions of these men as contrary
to it's express instructions and as
brooches of honorable conduct" and
requesting that the German Govern
ment promptly return any of these
men who may be within German jur-
isdiction to the United States. 1t
is disclosed that in note dated
March 20 answering a complaint
from Secretary Lansing regarding the
presence of British cruisers near
American territorial waters the Brit
ish Ambassador expressed surprise
that the State Departments attempt
to distinguish between different
pars of the high seas" and says that
he is unaware of the existence of
any rules or principles of interna-
tional law which render belligerent
operations which are legitimate in
one part of the high seas, illegiti-
mate in another"

spondence with Germany over the

PRINTERS ARE ALARMED AT
SHORTAGE OF WHITE PAPER

Baltimore, Md, August 13.-The
danger that thousands of printers
may be thrown out of work because
of the high cost of white paper was
said to be a question seriously con-
corning the delegates to the sixty
second annual convention of the In
ternational Typographical Union,
which begins here next Monday. The
Committee on Laws, through whose
hands all new laws for submission
TO the convention must first pass, has
been in session for several days, con-
sidering about 100 amendments and
new laws submitted by local unions.
The delegates began arriving in large
numbers today,
John w. Hays, secretary and treas
urer of the union, said the alarming
shortage of print paper is making 1t
difficult for many newspaper corpor-
ations TO continue business. In some
cities, he said. there was talk of con-
two or more plants to re-
duce working forces and expenses.

NEW BRITISH LOAN
For $3.50, OOO,OOO Said to Offer At
tractive Terms.

New York, Aug. 15.-Offlcial an
nouncement of a new $3.50, 900
loan to Great Britain, negotiations
for which have been in progress for
some time, probably will be made
within a few days. it is stated in f.
nancial circles here. The loan. ac-
cording to an unofficial summary of
its terms obtained from banking
sources, will be in the form of two
year per cent notes, secured by de-
posts of collateral.
Unlike the Anglo-French loan, no
conversion privilege will attach to
the present loan. which win be a di-
rect obligation of the British Gov
eminent II is said. however. to
contain other features which will
make 1t particularly attractive to
banks. although 1t will be offered
publicly.
The proceeds will presumably take
care of Great Britain's financial OBJ
legations in this country for a con-
siderable period. The amount of
Great Britain's short term obliga-
lions here now outstanding will take
up but a small proportion of the
present loan. 1t is said, leaving the
greater part to meet future payments
on war materials in this country.

CHANGE OF VENUE
For Wyne May Result in His Trial
In Daviess County.

Owensboro, KY, Aug. 15.-It is
possible that Charles M. Wyne, slay-
er, of DR.. M. C. Dunn, of Henderson,
may be tried for murder in the Da-
viess county Circuit Court. 1t is al
most certain that a change of venue
will be asked, and that the case will
be taken to some other county than
Union or Webster, the other counties
in the Fifth Judicial district.
Prosecuting Attorney N. Powell
Taylor, who was attorney for Dr.
Dunn in the civil action filed by
Wyne, will conduct his prosecution.
If change of venue is granted to
some other county outside of the dis
trict, then the States attorney of that
district will lead the prosecution.
For the first time since Wyne was
placed in the Daviess county Jail, he
broke down and wept on Sunday
morning, when his wife and two chill
dren came up from Henderson to see
him. He was released from his cell
and allowed to stand in the corridor
with them. He pressed the two
children to his breast and cried, but
had very little to say to his wife.
They were accompanied by his broth
er and his attorney, Ernest Wood
ward, of Henderson.

March 81, 1912. In a tragic note he
told how his health had broken un-
der the strain and intimated that he
feared his mind was failing.
Mrs. Wylie resolutely refrained
from beginning an action, clinging
to her husbands name for the sake
of their four children, one of whom
is now young man and Yale grad
uate. So Wylie and Mrs. Hichborn
lived on in their odd relationship,
shielding themselves. from prying
eyes in out-of-the-way places.
But after six years of waiting
Mrs. Wylie felt that her vigil was
hopeless and began suit. She was
granted a divorce two weeks ago in
Washington and the marriage of
Wylie and Mrs. Hichborn in Boston
on Monday furnishes another chap
ter in the story.
