SONG OF EROS.

WHEN love In the faint heart trembles
w And the eyes with tears are wet
Oh tell me what resembles
Thee, young Regret?
Vioets with dewdrops dropping.
Lilies o'erful of gold
Roses III June rains STOPPING,
That weep for the cold,
Are like thee. young Regret
DLOOM, violets, lilies and roses
- But what, young Desire,
Like thee, when love discloses
Thy heart of fire?
The wild swan unreturning,
The dagle alone with the sun,
The long winged storm guils burning
rd when day is done,
Are like thee. young Desire.

Gel rs In Verse
GEESE.

GEESE.
WHEN folks do silly foolish things
w Then people laugh and cry,
Why, they are geese!' And yet. you
know.
often wonder why.
For geese are stately, queenly birds.
Too grave to fly or sing:
And l have never seen a goose
That did a foolish thing
A ostrich has been famed in jokes,
"A Because he hides his head
And chickens run across the road
Meath cars that leave them dead
But geese--they walk with solemn grace
They seldom shrek or call:
Perhaps ypr'd like, for all folk say.
To be one after all!

THE. PIVOTAL QUESTION.

~ MD Joe to Sam in fierce de-
bate
Upon the woman question:
~ You've answered well all
other points,
Now here's my last suggestions:
Wheu woman goes to cast her vote
Some miles away. 1t may be-
Who. then, ask. will stay at home
To rock and tend the babyY"
Said Sam: - own you've made my
case
Appear a little breezy.
Suppose YOU put this question by
And ask me something easy!
Yet, since the matter seems to turn
On this as ON its axis,
Just get the one who rocked II
when
She went to pay her taXes!'

GLEASON AGAIN WINS MINE
 CONTEST
Undivided One-third Interest and Accounting Granted Plaintiff in Certain Mining Claims of Turquoise District.

TOMBSTONE, Feb. 10. (SpeciaD- According to the judgement filed yes terday in the Superior Court in. tho case of John Gleason vs Mary Costel- To as administrator of the estate of Martin Costello. deceased, the plaintiff again recovers an undivided one-third interest in and 10 the mining claims in dispute in the Turquoise mining district about twenty in number and for an accounting.
 The judgement is substantially the same as the verdict that was rendered in the case by the jury when it was tried several years ago. The present case was tried before Judge Lockwood in November, 1914. without a jury and has been pending ever since. After the hearing briefs were filed and au- thorities submitted and the transcript made so that the court did not get a chance to review the case for some time after it was finally submitted.
 The iudeement as rendered gives the plaintiff the one-third interest in the claims which are now valued at over a million dollars and are some of the best mines in the Turquoise dis trict.
 There is no doubt but what the at tOrneys for the defendant will give the usual notice for new trial and if that is denied will give notice Of appeal and take the matter to the Supreme Court.
 The interests of the plaintiff were looked after bv Attorney Fred Sutter of Bisbee and Eugene s. Ives of Tue son. while the defendant was repre- scented by Messrs. Ellinwood and Ross of Bisbee: Ben Goodrich and Joe Scott of Los Angeles.
 The conclusions of law found in the case and signed by Judge Lockwood will give the reader brief outline of the case in concise manner and are given below:

Leaders of Both Factions h. form Wilson they Are With Him; United Spirit, AL though Much Discussion.
PRESIDENT URGES
 PROMPT PREPARATION
Wilson Explains Reasons for Early Increase of Army; Munition Furnishing Pow e rolf Country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.- Republi- cans of the House Military Committee assured the President that a strong army increase bill would be drafted in a non-partisan spirit accomplishing all the main objects sought by the War Department and would be on the pub lie calendar within three weeks. They told him the committee was opposed to the Department continental army scheme The conference was friendly the only difference of opinion was the continental army plan proposed by Garrison as a substitution for the Ma tional Guard in the first line of de- fense.
 The committee informed the Piesi- dent the scheme was in process of for mutation by which the members felt certain the national guard co1ld be welded into an effective instrument of national defense and brought up to the strength believed necessary by mil itary experts. The President stated his preference for the continental plan. He made no effort to sway the opinions of his callers, beyond stating his own belief.
 The only urgency in the Presidents plea was for quick Congressional act ion to put the country in a state of ad- equate defense, based on a sound mill tary policy and his desire that party politics should not cloud what he con sidered a vital national issue. He found his hearers in hearty accord with both desires. It is understood the President outlined underlying mil itary reasons on which the War De- partment officials based their request for 400,0 men in addition to the reg ular army and always under complete federal control.
 Both Democratic and Republican members of the committee take the position that the continentals would not be available for immediate use out side the country under training it will be possible to give them in peace timee. Secretary Daniels. speaking at the convention of the United States Chamber of Commerce. said: within few weeks a civilian advisory board of the navy will be able to tell what every intuition factory can make. and the output, if the nation should have a sudden call for arms" As direct step toward preparedness Captain Bas- sett disclosed that the Navy Depart ment is arranging for the first mobili- zation of the present naval reserve ever attempted.

TRUE BILLS ARE RETURNED IN
 COAST CITY
Sixty-one Indictments are For mally Returned by Federal Grand Jury of San Francis co. Many in Net.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb, 10.-Sixty- one indictments against German con sular officers, alleged agents. shipping men and crews, were returned by the United States grand jury in the alleg- ed bomb plots and shipping plot cases Franz Bopp, consul general for Ger many, Baron E. H. von Schack, vice consul. Baron George Wilhelm von Brincken and thirty other individuals and firms are accused.
 Bopp, his two aides and four others are alleged, in the indictments, to have conspired to blow up all the railroads in Canada. engaged in transporting munitions, at certain tunnels, and to have conspired to sink ships with their crews bearing munitions for the allies while within Canadian territorial wat CTS.
 Bopp, von Schack and von Brincken were indicted on the general charge of conspiracy to set on foot. provide and maintain a military expedition against Canada from within the borders of the United States. Associated with them in the indictments are Charles Crow ley, a detective employed by the con- sulate. Mrs Margaret Cornell, Crow Iey's agent, and Johannes von Kool- bergen, an alleged German agent re- ported to be held in Canadian prison Louis Smith, a witness for the govern ment, is named as acting with the al legged conspirators in their plans.
 The other indictments against all of the above except Smith, were voted by grand jury charging conspiracy to interfere with and destroy commerce under tke Sherman antitrust act.
 These indictments. it is reported, are not ready because the clerical force was unable to transcribe them. They will probably be presented Mon day. Twenty-six other indictments against individuals and firms were re- turned in the alleged shipping plots, charging conspiracy to violate the neu trality of the United States in various manners by furnishing supplies to Ger man warships. making San Francisco base such alleged act and making false manifests.
