12500G Production of Car to Sell
Below $500 is tie announcement

With a price reduction to the be-
low $600' class and a production of
125,000 cars during the 1917 selling
yesterday startled the automobile
selling and buying world by it's dar
ing. One by one various motor car
manufacturers have advised the pub
lie that owing TO war prices of raw
material the cost of finished product
to the public has been advanced; the
Maxwell company is the first leading
concern to turn toward a lower cost,
at the sane time assuring all con-
cerned that no lowering of the STAN
dard of production will. be made.
Probably as startling as the an
nouncement in price is that of a pro-
duction of $4,000 machines, all of a
single chassis type, for the twelve
months starting July first. Three
years ago, when the first of the Max
well "25" models made its appearance,
the output was comparatively limited.
in the 1915 season nearly $4,000 ma
chimes We're turned out: in 1916 the
number had jumped to $1,000. Now,
in face Of war conditions last years
output must be more than doubled to
meet the huge demand for the popular
car
"The unprecedented growth of Max
well popularity has been due in a
very material measure to the policy
Of concentration" said T. J. Toner,
head OF Maxwell affairs on the Pa
cifie coast, in announcing TO Maurice
O'Nein local Maxwell dealer the 1917
plans.
"Mr. Flanders and his associates
started out with the idea of develop
ing a single car. The 1914, 1915 and
1916 cars were put into the hands of
the users themselves to prove up by
actual use. Gradually, what few
changes in chassis construction were
needed were made until by the enc
of the 1916 season the car we We're
turning out had thoroughly establish
ed itself There was no need OF any
! further radical change, for in tht

State Supreme Court Holds
Old Age and Mothers
Pension Act to Be Invalid
for "a Variety of Rea
sons
FIRST DEFECT
IN THE TITLE
Failure to Abolish Aims
house or to Provide Way
to Abolish Them Holds
Up Operation of Pension
System

Affirming the judgment of the su-
perior court of this county in the case
of L. II. Buckstegge against the board
of control to enjoin it from ordering
payments to be made under the 'old
age and mothers pension law the su-
preme court yesterday held the law to
be invalid, or at least dormant. This
law was an initiated act adopted by
the people at the election of November
1914. Some time after January ! of
the following year when the law be-
came effective the board of supervisors
of ella county issued its warrant in
favor of Catherine Braham for sl5
month and Sc month each for her six
children. The same board also issued
its warrant to Gus Wolf for $15
month on his showing that he was
more than sixty years of age and with
out visible means of support
Buckstegge, as a resident taxpayer,
brought action to test the law and
sought to restrain the board of con-
troll from directing the payment of the
warrant by the treasurer of the state
upon whom the warrant was drawn.
The defendants, the board of control
and it's secretary, Charles r. Osburn,
offered formal demurrer which was
overruled No further answer being
made by the defendants, judgment was
entered restraining the board of con-
troll as prayed for in the complaint
From this judgment an appeal was
| taken, The case was brought before
| the superior court of this county and
was heard by Judge George H. Crosby
of Apache county. The attorney gen.
eral and his assistants appeared for the
board of control and H. NJ. Fennemore
and W. E. Ryan for the plaintiff.
The act provided that 'All aims
| houses in the state shall be abolished,
| their grounds and buildings sold for
| the hest obtainable price and the pro-
| ceeds shall be devoted for the purposes
| hereafter set forth in this act 1t was
/ then provided, lin the absence of aims

| provided to various persons, aged
persons and people incapable of earn
| ing a livelihood by reason of physica
| nfirmities. and widows and wives
| whose husbands are in penal institu-
| tons or insane asylums, they being
mothers of children under the age OF
| sixteen years
The board of control was to have
charge of all funds provided for the
purpose mentioned and should order
payments 10 be made on warrants is
sued by boards of supervisors.
1t was also provided that the recip'
tents of relief over sixty years of ag'
should be residents of Arizona for fiv'
years and that all persons. in fact, eli
gible to relief should he residents o
the state for that period.
The first difficulty encountered wa
in the title of the bill which did no

private charity.
The law neglected to state by whom
the aImsh0Uses should be sold: Wheth-
er by the board of supervisors or the
board of control, The Natter, NN0wever,
was to have charge Of the proceeds,
though the houses, some of them in
Guiding farms, had been acquired by
the counties at great expense. There
is no general law giving the board of
control any power over the charitable
Institutions.
The boards of supervisors could not
comply with the law, for though they
are empowered to sell county property
they must turn the proceeds into the
county treasury for the use of the
county.
Thus ut the time of the issuance of
the warrants by the board of super
visors of ella county, the aEmshouses
rad not been abolished and have not
yet been abolished so that the pension
ing system could not then be installed
and cannot yet be installed, for accord
ing t. the act, Sin the absence of aims
houses pensioning sys-
tern is hereby established" The court
held that before such a system could
be established all of the aim shouses
would have to be abolished.
The court directs attention to the
limitation placed by the act on the
persons eligible 10 relief No provision
Is, made Tor }'ersons however helpless
who have resided in the SITE lie SIS than
five year., and no provision Isl mace
fer the care Of orphans. though if such
children had mothers in certain cir
cumstances they would be entitled to

On the other hand the act provides
that relief must be afforded every wife
and the children under sixteen years of
age, of persons confined in any penal
institution or insane asylum, however
we'll otherwise provided for such wives
and children may be.
/ In conclusion the opinion states:
1.-The conditions precedent to the go
! ing into effect of the provisions of the
act establishing pension system have
not been shown to have been per
/ formed. Consequently, those provisions
I are dormant and while dormant con

be affirmed"
Many of the contentious of the ap-

opinion was prepared by Justices Ross

MEXICO TO STOP SALE
OF GRAIN TO v. S. MEN

Ell PASO, April 11.-Because they
were selling corn and hay to the Amer
lean army, all grain dealers in Chi
huahua have been notified that all
hay and corn will be taken over by
the Mexican government and will be
paid for in Carranza money. The deal
ers and growers of, corn especially are
ordered by the government to turn
over their supplies of corn to the gov
ernment Immediately, failure to do sc
and efforts to sell to other buyers
making them liable to severe penal
ties.
Carranza money is worth in Chihua
hua and on the border today three
cents on the gold dollar. The Mexican
grain and hay dealers and growers
have been getting American money fo1
their corn and hay, realizing profit
greater than has been received in
Mexico in many years.
Americans coming out of Chihuahua
tell of the issuing of the manifesto
by the Mexican officials, and say it is
we'll known in Chihuahua that the pur-
pose is to prevent the American troops
from purchasing supplies in the inte
rior.

faires, Baron Otovi.
The sinking of the Japanese steamer
Kenoku Maru by a submarine south of
Crete in December, and later the loss
of eleven Japanese on board another

wotfld enter the war on the side of the
allies, said the baron, King Constan-
tine replied: Greece is a little coun-
try. When big dogs fight, it is no

O'DONNELL WINS CITRUS
BELT GRAND PRIZE RACE

CORONA, April 11-Setting a pace
which compelled his rivals in the race
to literally drive the tires from their
heavier machines, and halting but
once in the long grind to replenish
his supply of gasoline and oil, Eddie
O'Donnell drove his powerful car to
victory in the Citrus Belt Grand Prize
race at Corona. O'Donnells time for
the race was hours, 20 minutes and
: so seconds, giving him an average for
the 800 miles of 861a miles an hour.
Although it brought the JOY of vic
tory to O'Donnell, the race also
brought bitter grief to many, when
wild Bob" Burman, one of the best
known and best loved of all the noted
American race drivers, was hurled to
death when his car blew two tires
and plunged from the course.
Eric Schrader, Burmans mechani
clan, was instantly killed, as was W.
S. Speer, of Corona, who was acting
as guard of the course, who was
struck by the hurting car Burman
was so badly injured that he died as
he was being lifted from an ambu
dance at Riverside
OllUWluS " DOHu0ll ACROSS IHo Tape
came the two Mercer cars, driven by
Joe Thomas and Eddie Pullen, the
winner of the 1914 Corona Grand
Prize. Thomas drove into second
place in 3 hours, SO minutes and 1 Sec
ond, with an average of "a miles an
hour, while third position went to Pull
len, whose time for the 300 miles was
3 hours, 3S minutes and sc 2-5 sec
onds, giving him an average of SO
miles an hour.
Fourth place was captured by Teddy
Tetzlaff, after it seemed that his car
was hopelessly out of the race. For
four laps TetZlaff's car stood at the
pit, helpless through motor trouble
Teddy finally got the machine started,
and re-entered the race, finishing in
3 hours, 5S minutes and AZ seconds,
averaging 76 miles an hour. Cliff Du-
rant finished fifth, in 4 hours, 5 min
utes and "a 7-10 seconds, while sixth
prize went to w. S. Waterman. The
latter was tagged from the course i'm
mediately after Durant had finished,

FORTIFICATIONS BILL is READY
FOR AUTHORIZATION
Second of Great Preparedness Meas
ures Calls for Expenditure of
$34,297 ,050 Would Com
pIete Defenses

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE for
tifications bill-second of the big pre-
paredness measures reported ia
vorably to the house. 1t carries direct
appropriations of $21, 1897, ,O5O, and
authorizes the war department to en-
ter into contracts amounting to $12,-
100000, total of $34,297,050, by far
the largest bill ever brought before
congress. Last year the bill carried
about $6,OOO,O00.
The outstanding features of the bill
are these:
Huge increases in reserve ammunl-
tion for field, sea-coast and siege can
non, based on European standards.
The adoption of anti-aircraft guns
Acquirement of the exclusive rights
and installation of the Hammond ra,
dio-controlled torpedo.
Fertilization of New York and Ches-
apeake bays with 16-inch guns.
Fertilization of Boston, San Fran,
cisco, Hawaii and the Philippines with
12-inch guns having a range of 10000
yards.
Completion of the Notifications of
Los Angeles and San Diego.
private plants with tools and machin'
cry necessary to manufacture stand
ard munitions for the army.
Provision that government arsenals
shall be operated at their full eco
nomic capacity.
Changes in gun mounts to give ex-
listing coast-defense cannon greater
range and accuracy.
The hearing of the committee dis
closed that the European war has con-
vinced army officers that the ammuni-
tion reserve, good for only two hours,
was hope1essly inadequate. The bill
provides $10,700,000 for the purchase
of shells for field and sea-coast guns
for the regular army. Last year, this
item was $1,360,000.
The new scheme of fortifying the
country and the insular possessions
was disclosed in the report. The plan
provides for an eventual expenditure
Of $82,064,557 for continental United
States and the insular possessions and
$13, 1885, 900 for the Panama canal, and
does not take into account fortifying
Alaska, Guam and Guantanamo.
1t recommends that future direct
fire coast artillery guns be at least
16-inch rifles, and that sea-coast NOR
tars installed in the future should be
of the same caliber.
All material purchased under the
bill must be of American manufacture,
except when, Gin the judgment of the
secretary of war, it is to the manifest
interest of the United States tc
make purchases in limited quantities
abroad"
The bill also contains a provision
that the government shall not pay
more than SO cents a pound for pow
der, except for 'small-arms ammuni
tion. Purchase from private manufac
turers also is limited by provision
that the prices paid shall not be in
excess of 25 per cent more than the
actual or estimated cost of manufac
| ture by the government.

Berlin Threatens New Terror

BERLIN, April 10.-Germany's en-

announcement of Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, Dec. 9, that Germany
would consider peace proposals when
ever her foes are willing to ask terms,
have lost the day of grace. This is
the conclusion to be drawn from a
leading article in the semi-official Lo-
kal Anzeiger, in which it is declared
fatty the time has now come to carry
out the chancellor's warning of De-
cember that if the enemies of this
country did not ask for peace in a rea-
sonable period they would have to pay
dearly for it,
