FOR SPYING
chas. Schroeder and His Son, Lou
Convicted Of Spying and Are
Sentenced to be Shot.
ARE WELL KNOWN IN DENIsoN
Moved to Canada From Crawford
County Twelve Years Ago
Relatives in This County.

1t is reported that Chas. Schroeder
and son. Lou, former residents OF
Crawford county, who moved from
their farm. south of Denison about
twelve years ago and located on a
farm near Clavet, Sask., Canada, were
convicted in March by the Canadian
officials for spying and condemned to
death. Mr.. Schroeder is brother-in,
law of Messrs. Richard, Allen and w.
w. Johnston, of this city, and Of Mrs.
VIM. Mullenger, who lives south OF
DeniSOn.
A telephone conversation with Mrs.
Mullenger this morning brought out
the fact that the Canadian authorities
notified Mr.. Geo. Johnston, brother
in-law of Mr.. Schroeder, who resides
at Lake City, that Mr.. Schroeder. to-
gether with his son, had been impris-
oned. charged with being spies. and
after being tried were convicted ana
condemned to be shot. The father
was to be shot at sunrise on the morn
ing OF Friday, March oath, and the son
two or three days later Mrs. Mullen
ger stated that she has received no
further word from Canada and is loath
to believe that the sentence was car,
ried out or she would have heard from
her sister.
Mr.. Schroeder was resident OF
Crawford county for many years. com.
ing here from Germany. He farmed
for a number of years south OF Deni-
son and some twelve years ago moved
to Canada.i
Denison people who own land in
Saskatchewan, Canada. and who take
newspapers published in that province
say that number of Germans have
been arrested from time to time,
charged with. sending information to
the German government but that they
have not known of single instance
where the penalty was death. but has
been Imprisonment for the length OF
the war. The friends of the Schroed-
er family are in hopes that there is
no truth to the report that they were
sentenced to be shot.

The school board held a meeting on
Monday evening of this week at the
office of w. c. Rollins, secretary of
the board, at which time teachers were
elected for the coming year. All of
the present teachers with the eXcep-
ton of four. made application for re-
election, those not applying being
Frank Ransom. Miss Bland Lally
Miss Mae Smith and Miss Mildred
Bowen.
Much OF the success of the Denison
public schools is due to the fact that
the board does not make changes in
the teaching force any oftener than is
absolutely necessary. Every applicant
is thoroughly investigated before be.
ing elected and we can safely say that
there is not city in the state the
size OF Denison which has a more eff
cient corps Of teachers than we have.
The four vacancies in the schools
will be filled at some future meeting
OF the board.

the coming year are as follows:

Sask., Canada, writes Denison rela-
tives that he was in Winnepeg dur
ing the big riot between the soldiers
and the police. Soldiers were rush
ing about the city looking for foreign,
ers, while the police officers were do
ing their best to protect them from
violence. Mr. McHenry wrote that
foreigners were requested to keep
off the streets, but that he found no
difficulty in going about the city.

DAMAGE CASE NEXT WEEK
Suit Of Wright & Kinney vs. Renfro &
Lewis, Growing Out Of Collapse
Of Building, to be Tried

District court is grinding away or
the second week of the term. Last
week was devoted to equity business
but on Monday the law calendar was
taken up and the remainder of the
term will be devoted to the trial OF
jury cases. The equity cases disposed
of during last week were not of sufi
cient Importance to attract much at
tention.
The motion for a new trial in the
case of jain VS. jain, growing out OF
the probate of the will of Claus jain
was submitted to the court on Friday
last and no doubt will be disposed oil
before the term closes.
The jury case brought on for trial
Monday is contest between members
of the Roam family, the principal ques'
ton in the case being as to whethe!
a common law marriage was had be-
tween parties interested in the case.
The next case for trial is that OF
Powell Supply Company, of Omaha
vs. Patterson & Campbell. OF West
Side, and grows out of transaction
had between the Omaha house and
Patterson & Campbell, wherein GER
tain merchandise was sold.to the West
Side parties. This case will probably
occupy but little time and later on
during the week the case growing out
of the collapse of the Wright and Kin
ney building will be up for trial.
1t is somewhat of hardship on
farmers to require them to remain
here for jury service at time when
they are anxious to be in their fields
putting in their crops. Fortunately
the term will be short one and by
the middle of the month the work OF
the jury will be over.

A small blaze at the college dormi-

Saturday morning about 10 o'clock. A
spark from the chimney started a
small blaze, which fortunately was
discovered before it made much head
way and was extinguished before the
fire apparatus arrived on the scene.
The fire apparatus was rushed to the
scene in record breaking time. the
hose cart and chemical wagon being
hauled out by automobiles.

NICHOLSON PLANT
RE-0RGANIZES
The Nicholson Produce Company Has
Changed the Firm Name to the
Nicholson Ice e. Produce Co.
3. Y. NICHOLSON GEN. MANAGER
Arrangements Made With Large Pro.
duce Dealers to Buy Entire
Production of Plant.

The Nicholson Produce company has
reorganized under the name Nichol.
son Ice & Produce company. Addi-
tional capital has been put into the
business with a view of extending the
territory and increasing the business
in every department Arrangements
have been made with large produce
dealers in Chicago and eastern mar
kets to buy the production Of the plant.
which will enable the Nicholson Ice
& Produce company to make a good
home market the year round for the
poultry, eggs and cream produced in
territory surrounding Denison. 1t will
be the aim of the new company to in
crease it's efficiency in every depart
ment which will assure the best of
service to its patrons and enable those
in the business to get the very best
returns on produce. Mr.. B. Y. Mich
olson will continue as general mall
ager.
+ The plant was established many
years ago, but it was not until 1908
that the large storage plant, which is
G0x60 feet and five stories in height,
including the basement. was erected.
While the plant conducted as it has
been has drawn large trade from all
directions and from a large district,
the prediction is made that under the
new organization largely increased
trade will be drawn from a territory
extending far beyond anything in the
past. The increased facilities and the
adoption of modern and scientific
methods will insure large increase
in trade.
The business is in the territory trib-
utary to Denison and all it needs is a
plant of sufficient capacity to reach
out for it and under the new organiza-
ticn it is expected that with the in.
creased capacity and facilities for
handling produce that the best of re-
suits will be secured. This will not
only benefit the company, but it will
also benefit the community.

and efficient plants will be found in company with the greatest in the world. None. there has any idea of the section taking a back seat.
 Yet, when all is said, the crown of greatness must be- placed on the re- zion of which Douglas is the undis- puted center. Here, without a shad- ow of doubt, is the hub of the great est copper-producing district the world has ever known. The yield of the To- cal smelters for the six months ending with last September, was put at 131,- 000,000 pounds, which would make the annual production of Douglas 262.- 000,000 pounds. Add to this the pro- duction at Cananea, on it's present bas- is of more than 5,OO0,OOO pounds a month and this sections yield is more than the huge total of 322,000,000 pounds, almost half of the estimated production of Arizona for this year.
 ''These are cold figures that cannot truthfully be disputed.
 Copper is truly king of Arizona and Cochise county is his richest prov ince."

THE COMING OF PEACE.

The remarks of President Wilson in New York Saturday evening at a banquet mark ing the close of the celebration in honor of permanent illumination of the Statue of Lib erty in New York harbor, made possible by funds contributed by 100000 people of France, make 1t apparent that the chief ex- ecutive of this nation will not bank strong ly upon compacts between nations in bring ing about peace In a diplomatic fashion, MT. Wilson also made 1t apparent that he does not think that the rule of monarchs will continue forever The outstanding features of MT. Wilson's address follow:
 "* Throughout the last two years there has come more and more into my heart the conviction that peace is going to come to the world only with liberty.
 With all due and sincere respect for those who represent other forms of govern ment than ours, perhaps 1 may be permitted to say that peace cannot come SO long as the destines of men are determined by small groups who make selfish choices of their own.
 "* The peace of the world is not going to be assured by the compacts of na- tions but by the sympathies of men,
 Canadians are complaining that Cana dian milk IS cheaper in the United States than in the Dominion. The ways of distri buters of food, whether in Canada or in the United States, are past finding out, but that the producer and the consumer always get the worst of the deal may be taken for granted.

WHAT DID THE VOTER INTEND?

Now that 1t Is known that the official count of the last state election results shows that Tom Campbell received a majority of the votes, as counted and the further know ledge that the result as counted is to be com tested by the defeated candidate for governor, we may expect court proceeding that will hold the attention of the people of this state closer than any other case which has ever ap- peared in the courts.
 A statement this week quotes Senator Eugene s. Ives who will conduct the contest for Governor Hunt, as saying that the cleo ton contest will not be based on any charge of fraud or irregularity, but that the demand will be to have all the election ballots re- counted in Phoenix, where the contest suit will be fought out by the lawyers of Cover nor Hunt and Tom Campbell.
 It has many times been stated since the election that the Hunt contest would be based on the ground that ballots marked in the party square above the democratic ticket and also marked in the square opposite the name of Tom Campbell on the republican ticket had been enormously counted for Camp bell by some of the precinct election boards. Here is an illustration of such marked bal lot:

RIVALRY KEEN FUR
 COPPER GROWN

The Douglas, Ariz., Daily Dispatch says: There appears to be friendly rivalry in Arizona as to which copper district is entitled to the palm of SUD- remacy. Jerome is not all backward about claiming everything in sight, and, when one considers the number of new ventures in that section, those people up there who have not travelled much have plenty of excuses for the unqualified boasts they are pin acclaim it as the 'billion-dollar" dis trict, and are safe in their nomencIa- ture, since no one can look deep enough into the earth's hidden stores to say that they are wrong.
 Then, there is Globe and it's circle of copper wealth. It is an old camp the furnace fires were kindled there. The three big operating companies are all giants in their way. Lesser ones, with promise of alluring achievement are springing up as if servants of a magic wand, and the hum of an ever increasing activity has deafened the ears of Globe folks to other copper centers and blinded their vision to swift mining development at other places in the state The Globe-Miami district is great, let no one dispute that, but great copper districts are be- coming common in this state.
 'The Ray-Kelvin zone is full of it's own big notions, too. The virile DOT phyry concern on Mineral creek, being the pioneer, holds the ascendency, but there are little acorns of mines" in the vicinity that are making wonder full efforts to grow into big trees of producers. This rich area stretches from Superstition mountain to the crest of the Finals and has a future 1 that will make the present look puny indeed.

The forward strides made there within the last ten years challenges all other portions of the state.

THE GROUNDS OF A CONTEST.

THE GROUNDS OF A CON lESl.
 If we have understood Hon. Eugene s. Ives, counsel for Governor Hunt in the com ing contest, alright, we do not believe there is a ground for contest It has been, and is, the theory of The Republican that when the margin is so close in so large vote as was cast at the late election a contest is war ranted if the apparently defeated candidate has reason for, believing that, some votes were counted that ought not to have been counted and that some votes were rejected which ought to have been counted.
 Mr. Ives, however, disclaims any such grounds for a contest. No charges of fraud anywhere are made and no irregularities are being alleged The whole vote of the state, every ballot, is to be recounted. That is without assuming, without even suspecting, but only blindly hoping that some errors will be found to have been made against the Gov ernor in the official count, another count IS to be asked for. All the democratic election boards in the State and almost all of them were democratic, may have made enough mistakes to have deprived the Governor, the so-called democratic candidate, of the cleo ton. It was never contemplated that an election contest should be based on such grounds.
 MT. Ives, however, says further, that he is confident that before the recount of the Maricopa vote is completed it will be found that enough votes would have been taken from MT. Campbell to insure the reelection of Governor Hunt. Yet no fraud or irregu- larities are charged Then, where is it ex- pected that these changes will occur, unless 1t be among those ballots on which voters marked a cross at the head of the democratic ticket and cross after the name of MT. Campbell? If all such ballots should be re- jected or so interpreted that they could not count for MT. Campbell his narrow margin would be wiped out.
 But would the Governor accept an office by an interpretation by the courts which would thwart the will of the people whom he so dearly loved and to whose judgment he has always expressed so great a willingness to bow?
 We think not, unless the events of Nov ember 7 have been enlightening to the Gov ernor and have taught him that the judgment of the people IS not thing to be trusted; that after all the sheet anchor of the country and its institutions is in the formerly despised and distrusted courts.-Arizona Republican.

That radical initiative provision in the Arizona constitution had a mighty close call in the recent election The amendment which would have provided that before any initia- tive measure could become successful it would have to secure majority of all the votes cast in the election was only by a few hundred votes. However, the results of the election showed that the people are giving pretty close attention to the initiative vot- ing and put the seal of condemnation on all the freak legislative propositions that appear ed on the ballot last month

Should the court hold that MT. Camp bell is not entitled to have a ballot marked as above counted for him, then it is practi- cally agreed that the recount would result in his defeat On the other hand, if the court shall rule that such ballot be counted for Campbell, in accordance with the plain intent of the voter who marked the ballot, then 1t is also agreed that the Campbell majority would be made much larger than the official count shows.
