 BE TT RESOLVED, that the State Board of Pardons and Paroles does hereby unanimously recommend to Hon. George W. r. Hunt. Governor of Arizona, that a reprieve be granted to the said Walter w Kermcen, until Friday the 10th day of March, I916." In speaking of the boards action. Attorney General Jones yesterday evening said:
 Tn view of all of the evidence which has recently been laid before the board, l do not see just how we could have done otherwise than to grant a reprieve to the condemned man. While We know nothing about most of the statements made in the messages. We are nevertheless in clincd to give the senders of the messages d chance to make good and produce what testimony they may have which would tend to show that the man is insane We do not want any question raised as to the mans mental condition after he has been executed. and to forestall any such an unpleaSantness, we have given the man another lease on life In the nine weeks which will intervene be- fore the date of the proposed execu- ton, we will have am opportunity to settle once and forever any question which might be raised as to his sanity. We could not countcnance the i. thought that we had permitted an in- sane man to go to the gallows There will probably be no more 1 court actions in connections with this case, for hoth the superior and the supreme courts have passed on il and pronounced the defendant gull ty- of course some lawyer might start habeas corpus proceeding or some kindred action. But there can be no more inquiries by jury into the mans mental condition owing to the fact that a Pinal county jury recently found him to be sane. \ lawyer might attempt to show cause why the verdicts of two courts should be set aside, but in my opinion the effort would not get very far. These parties who claim to have secured new ev- idence bearing on the case must make good now or never. It is probable that in case a sufficient amount of testimony is not produced. the board will give no further consideration to the case"
 The crime for which Kermeen was sentenced to he hanged was the kill ing of a man named Harlon at Bis bee in May, 1914 his alleged motive being robbery. He was originally sen tenced to he hanged in October of that year but so far it has never been carried out

Samuel. at present postmaster general is the most talked of as Sir John A. Simon's successor. but there has been no gen eral agreement in the gossip as to the probable man for MT. Henderson's place.
 To the American reader, one of the most interesting suggestions heard in London today was the proposal to in troduCe the referendum as the alterua- tive for a general election. if danger ous hostility appears to be developing in the country at large during the later stages of the consCription bill before parliament The referendum frequent ly has been suggested in England dur ing the last few years as q desirable addition to the legislative machinery of the kingdom. It was adopted as a part of the unionist program of Conpsti tutional reform five or six years ago.
 Additional prominence was given to it in December, 1910 when Arthur J. Balfour. then leader of the opposition. gave his pledge at a monster unionist meeting in London that no tariff re- form bill would be enacted without it's providing for the use of the referen- dunn in disputes between the house of lords and the house of commons was

 LONDON, Jan. 7.-The political sit uation today was somewhat calm CT after the overwhelming vote obtained by the government in the house Thursday night on the first reading of it's compulsory service bill. The reassuring size of the govern ment's majority in the lower house of parliament offset to considerable degree the anticonscriptionist vote of partly discounted by the attitude of such important labor leaders as Arthur Henderson, who resigned as president Q fthe board of education, and John Ward, George Nicoll Barnes and John Hodge, members of the house of com mons
 The position of these men is that the vote of the labor congress was too nasty and ill considered to be regarded labor men of the country.
 Parliament did not meet today and will not sit again until Monday. The indications are that the conscription bill will be passed through the house of commons in order that it may reach the house of lords in ample time for passage before the end of the month.
 In some quarters talk of a general election still persists, but it is certain that a considerable part of even the opponents of compulsion do not want resort tothe ballot.

were brought into the district. l un- derstand that United States Marshal Dillon is to leave the district on Sat urday and that a few of his men will remain until Sunday, but should any of the outsiders fail to leave on Sun day there will probably be trouble
 The strikers are considerably incenscd at the importation of outsiders to do the assessment work on the companys claims. There seems to be q dispOsi- tion to obey the terms of the federal Injunction which was recently issued to protect the outsiders.
 The strikers are quite emphatic in
 their statements that the mining com
 panies did not offer to pay members
 of their ranks the sum of g. per day to do the assessment work, as was claimed by the operators, and for a
 time they feared trickery in connec-
 tion with the importation of men for
 that job.
 And in regard to the possibility of
 there being United States troops marched into the district. I want
 to say that the prospect of such action is very. very remote, for in case of any violence or disorder the state miH-
 tia would be amply able to quell any disturbances. However I do not be-
 lieve that any more state troops will be needed in the district"
 When asked about the probability of
 the miners accepting the companies suggestion that they sever all connec-
 tions with the Western Federation of
 Miners, Colonel Harris stated that he did not believe that the strikers would
 carry out the suggestion.
 So long as the managers continue to insist on the men returning to work under the old conditions and without a definite promise of improved wages
 it would seem that the prospects for settlement are very remote"

Natural Curiosity,

Joe had been working in Baltimore.
On the day before Christmas he re-
ceived his pay and planned to go home
to Washington, but first he started out
to buy presents for all his family. He
did this with more generosity than
foresight, and when evening came he
found himself at the railway station
laden with bundles but with no money
for his fare to Washington.
Somehow he got through the gate
and approached the conductor. He
laid the case before him, and ended
with a plea that he might ride to
Washington on the platform of the
baggage car. The conductor, his heart
warmed by the spirit of the season,
said, Cali right, go ahead"
So Joe climbed on the platform of
the car next to the engine. It was a
cold night, and it was on a road where
the engine takes up water from track
reservoir as it goes along.
When the train reached Washing
ton the conductor saw Joe approach
ing, covered with ice from head to
foot, bundles and all. He came up to
the conductor and said, 81 sure does
thank you, boss, for muh ride. YOu's
very kind to allow muh to ride up
with you; but there's JUS one ques-
ton I wants to ak. Kin yuh tell me

IF Erfert calls at this office while
you are here" answered, "and if you
have warrant for his arrest, charg-
ing him with any crime, you may
take him to headquarters; but unless
you have warrant I will not permit
you to take aim out of this office. l
think, perhaps, you had better go and
communicate this to the chief"
The detective left the Office and
went to make his report. In the
meantime Mr.. Bolland arrived, to
whom I stated the facts of the city
detectives visit and his intention to
arrest Erfert. Mr.. Bolland said that
he did not care to prosecute; in fact,
he preferred not to do SO, and was
really undecided which was the best
course to pursue.
"You had better take Erfert quietly
up to police headquarters" I said to
him, "and tell the chief what you have
said to me-"
This was done, but. at police head
quarters, the police chief and the de-
tective who had called at the office in
the Chemical building took Erfert in
charge and put him through the third
degree. They attempted to make him
say that 1 had arrested him and
forced him to make confession OF
his thefts. They did not concern
themselves with his guilt or limo
cence. A statement was prepared by
them, which they urged Erfert to sign,
declaring that had violated the law
by having arrested him and forcing
him to make a statement of his guilt.
Erfert declined, however, to sign this
statement, on the ground that it was
untrue. He stated that had ex'
planned to him in the beginning OF
the interview that I had no legal right
