VALE|VZUE[A MAKES
 VERY CLEVER CATCH

Failure to give careful attention to certain prayers, calculated to make them invisible when desired, made it possible for Policeman Valenzuela to see" Florencia Agurri and Carlos Agurri early this morning and effect their arrest. At least this is the eX- planation given by the two brothers, when taken to the police station with large quantity of booty which it is expected will connect them with at least three or four heretofore mys.. terious robberies.
 It was considerably after midnight that Policeman ValenZuela saw one of the Agurris enter the Pekin restau- rant. He was accompanied by a young woman. ValenZuela had been looking for Agurri for several days and this was the first time he had been enabled to locate him. He had satis- fled himself that Agurri knew some thing of the robbery of the pool hall of Guadalupe Gonzales at Seventh and Madison streets. One of the brothers also answered the description of one of the men who held up and robbed Wong Quong, South Central avenue groceryman, about week ago.
 With one of the Agurris under ar rest it was an easy matter to locate the other at local rooming house. In their room was found the booty taken to the police station, part of which was identified by Gonzales as belong ing to him. There was nearly S100 in currency and nickels and dimes. There were also the series of printed prayers in which the Agurris pinned their faith. Several watches. razors, stick pins, a bowie knife, shirts, handker- ! chiefs, and several packages of anal gam, indicating that jewelry had been broken up. melted and an effort made | to recover the gold.
 While there are but three robberies

time for the tentative strike order to after careful consideration of several dates. It finally was chosen because of the belief that demonstration by the 2,000,000 or more unlon men who will march in Labor Day parades in be- half of the brotherhoods would have the effect of winning much public support for the strikers. By Labor Day also the strike order will have been scat tered to all points on all divisions of the country. The last of the delegates who left here yesterday will have reached their homes by next Friday night
 Although the strike order is for seven o'clock next Monday morning, all lines affected probably would not be tied up before some time that night if the order were released.
 Every member of the brotherhoods, whether an employe on a passenger, freight or mail train is subject to the strike order. Brotherhood beads in- tiinated last week that supply trains running to the Mexican border, some Passenger trains. and possibly some milk trains would be exempted To- night they declared that all trains would be tied up.
 We hope to tie up all freight and passenger trains," one of the leaders said.
 The strike order is brief It is ad- dressed to all members of the four hrotherhoOds, is signed by the vari- ous general chairmen and reads as follows:
 ''Sirs and brothers:
 ie tA lxrie z the employees in train and engine service on the eight hour day and time and one half overtime proposi- tion was overwhelmingly in favor of a | strike
 | Notwithstanding this, your repre- sentatives have been unable to effect satisfactory settlement and a strike nnder the laws of the respective or ganizations becomes effective or Sep tember 4, 1916 at a. m.
 'Impart this information so those interested will understand that they are to promptly obey"
 On a separate sheet the duties ot members and officers in the conduct of a strike are set forth. Particular | emphasis is placed on conducting tho proposed strike as peacefully as pos | sible. Among the duties of members set forth are these:
 No man in road service involved + the strike will perform any servirt after the hour set to strike unless h, has alreadv begun a trir and ha' actually left the terminal. If the trair has left the terminal he will complet. the trip and deliver the engine anC train at the end of the run, or tie III point if tied mp under the law afte which he will perform no furthe service until the close of the striFe Men in other than road service vii leave the service at the appointe' time
 "So far as your legal right to strill

STAPLEY BITTERLY ATTACKS GOVERNOR
Special to The RepubIican.)

Especial to The Republican,
 MESA, Aug. 2S.-Bitterly scoring the administration, O. S. Stapley, can- didate for state senator tonight told a small crowd here his version of cer- tain incidents related by Governor Hunt here last week.
 He said the mine tax bill is dead issue, and paid high tribute to Sena- tor Bacon of Gila county, whom Gov ernor Hunt attacked in his Mesa speech. q voted for the mine tax bill because I thought it was the right thing" said the speaker
 He gave figures showing that with copper at IS cents and under, the mines, assessed under the bill, paid practically 35 per cent of the states taxts in 1912, 1913 and 1914. Now, with copper at 27 cents, he said they would pay still higher per cent of the taxes, if under that bill.
 Regarding the mines acting as their own assessors, he said it was based on the same system whereby the farm or should take credit for settling the
 He then took up the appropriation bill, parts of which the governor vetoed. He explained how the gov ernor vetoed the section relating to free text books, because he wanted S50O,000. The bill carried $1O0000 for text books, whereas the investigations showed S50,000 was enough.
 Tt is remarkable that the govern . ors should take credit for settling the Clifton strike. Doesn't he give the rep resentatives of the United States de- partment of labor any credit?"
 Part of the appropriation bill was vetoed because the legislature had cut down appropriations on account ot failure of state officials to account fol their expenses. Stapley said that Ad- jutant General Harris had made sev- eral trips out of the state, and had refused to account for his expendi- lures.
 Smith Is Facetous
 W. T. Smith was the next and last speaker. He created a good deal oi amusement by his dry reference to the issues of the day. Regarding the con- struction of the link in the state high way near the Tempe bridge. he sait that with prison labor Gov. Hunt haC turned in accounts for clearing land a Sl9 an acre. ''I would be glad to ge that contract at S5 an acre and sub. let it at $2.5O," he said
 He leaped on H. A. Davis a riva candidate for state senator, for hi suit over a recount of votes in the las election. Smith was judge of election in the precinct where Davis disputed the tally.
 "The mouthings of Mother Jones wer, pure anarchy" said Smith, after hay ing given a rehash of that venerabl, woman's campaign speech in Phoeni. some time ago.

There was a live, interesting session, and Judge Nealon, who had a smear of speakers. ran the program off in grand style.

REAL JOB GIVEN
 ID GUARD DETAIL

Lieutenant Claude Shamhart First Arizona infantry, is not as happy as ne might be. He may be found. and propaDIy will be found for the next week or ten days at the adjutant gen. eraIs otfice in the State House. The neutenant is not there because he likes It, or because he has any keen desire Tor desk job. He is there because the war department has ordered Adiutant General Harris to get out a complete muster role of the First regiment. giy- ing the name, description and every thing else that goes with a man when he joins the National Guard.
 That looks pretty easy to anyone outside the army. To Lieutenant Sham mart, and his detail of men who have tackled the job. it looks like an unnec- essarily heavy load to be placed on their backs. They feel that they have been behaving as soldiers should, and there IS no reason why they should thus be punished.
 The work entails a great deal of re- search work. The war department has asked Tor information that will require prylng into the dustiest and mustiest of files belonging to Col Harris. A number of the men belonging to the regiment have not reported and if is up to Shamhart to get up the data on them. which, in some cases, is sadly lacking.
 Sergeant "Micky" Solomon, who is aiding Shamhart, is for perhaps the first time in his life on a job, where he can push pen, lean back in his chair whenever some one comes into his office, and demand with an ar rogant stare. what their business might be. His comrades in misery insisted yesterday afternoon. that "Micky" was enjoying himself to such an extent that he had actually gone to sleep three or four times.

NOTHING WRONG THERE.

The British government recently blacklisted a number of American firms. and prohibited Brit sh subjects from purchasing from the firms so blacklisted. Immediately a huge cry went up that was followed by persistent kicking re- sulting in another paper bullet being sent pro testing against such action.
 We'll, what is wrong with the backlsting of American firms by England? That country did not blacklist these firms because they were Amer ican firms. American firms are supposed to be neutral and England is not at war with neutrals but she is at war with Germany, and German sub iects are vastly interested in American indus tries, and whenever German subject is found, war exists. England would not have blacklisted an American firm unless that firm was in sym pathy with Germany. She is not without hav- ing investigated thoroughly before she took that step; and no doubt she found that German in- terests were behind the firms; hence the segra- gation Because firm is run under an Ameri- can name, is no proof that it is so at heart In our opinion, England has as much right to pur- chase from whomsoeyer she pleaSes as we have a right to sell to whomsoever we choose.
