ITALIAN LINER DETAINED

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The Ital- ian liner Giuseppi Verdi, which arriv- ed at New York with two three-inch rifles aboard. amnney by gunner of the Italian navy, will be refused clear ance until the guns are removed and dismounted. Moreover state depart ment officials said that an investiga- tion will be made to determine wheth- CT the liner was armed solely for de- fense She is liable to internment if a ship of war.
 This action will be taken to insure against violation of general rules en- forced by the United States defining status of armed merchantmen enter ing American ports. The state depart ment probably will consider infor- mally with Italy the question of re- moving the guns. acting on the prece- dent established in the case of the Maimana, the armed British vessel, which recently was denied clearance until the fourinch gun it carried was removed.

SUCCESSES IF RUSSIANS IN EAST
 WIDEN
Official Status of Czernowitz as Yet Uncertain. It would Appear that Slavs Have Im- proved their Holdings.
NORTHERN LINE ALSO
 OBJECT OF ATTACKS
Proposed Offensive of Teu- tons on Saloniki and Egypt Said Held Up By the Fight ing in Bessarabia.

LONDON. January 6.-The area of Russian successes over the Teutons in the east continues to widen. Although the situation around Czernowitz has not cleared officially it appears from Russian sources. the Austrias are hard pressed over long line of defenses The Austrians are throwing huge re- Inducements into the district. is expected the Russians will strike the Kalomea-Stanislau-N line where powerful defensive works have been in preparation for some time by the Teutons.
 Meanwhile the Russians position, 250 miles north. on the middle Styr river is greatly strengthened by the successful operations in that region of the great marshes where the Russians are beginning to emerge.
 Their advance here has not been the result of isolated battles but of a series of engagements lasting a con- siderable period.
 The entente capitals express the opinion that the Russian offensive has completely upset the plans of the leu tons for an invasion of Saloniki, and Egypt. In connection with yester- days announcement of the defeat of a German war vessel on Lake Tang anyika. East Central Africa, and half a mile above sea level, it was an nounced that the British ships which accomplished the defeat were espec- ially constructed in England, and transported to the heart of Africa. Un- til the arrival of these vessels the Ger mans dominated the lake The pres ence of British armed vessels on the lake will completely reverse the situa- tion there. This is considered oppor- tune in view of the forthcoming cam paign in East Africa.
 Replying to question in the House of Commons whether a considerable part of the Serbian army was in dis tress at Scutari. and whether England had offered the Serbians a suitable locality in the Mediterranean where they could rest and recuperate, Lord Cecil, under secretary of foreign affairs said the Serbians at Scutari at first had been in great distress. but the sit uation was largely renewed. He was not willing to make an announcement concerning the latter part of the ques- tion Athens advices say that Ser bian refugees in Greek territory now are forty thousand of whom six thous- and are at Saloniki

RECORDERMAKES MONEY FUR
 COUNTY
Returns of Judge Owen E. Murphy's Office Disclose Profit of Approximately $3,OOO Last Year.

TOMBSTONE, Jan. 6.-(SpeciaD. .- The report of County Recorder Mur- phy for the past year has been com pleted and filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors. The report shows that the office has been reve- nue producer for the county in that the receipts of the office excel the expenditures by s2961.65. The receipts of the office for the year were $9S61.65 while for the year 1914 they were SS760. TO- During the year there were recorded 609S instruments as compar- ed with 53S9 the year previous. There were 16S copies made; thirty-three ab- stracts and forty-one certificates is- sued Three deputies were employed during last year, the same as the year before but considerable more work was accomplished.
 The instruments were filed as fol- lows: January, 491; February, 421: March, 476; April 692; May, 566; June, 459; July, 404; August, 593; Septem- Der, 490; October. 4S2; November, 455; December. 569. Total 6O9S. April was the largest month, the receipts amouting to $951.35 while July was the smallest amounting to little over $500.

 SMALL DELINQUENT LIST.
 County Treasurer, Harry s. Ross, has completed making up the back tax book on the first payment of the semi-annual taxes and finds that the amount is only s10.396.01. which is the smallest percentage that has been recorded in a number of years and reflects great credit on the conditions in Cochise county and discloses that the majority of the tax payers have money with which to settle their ob- legations and do not believe in allow ing them to go delinquent.
 This amount is all that was delin- quent out of the amount due of $3l2,- 23S.81 Another good showing in the office is the fact that during the past year there was collected by Ross, in interest on the county deposits the sum of $S906.O7, which is. the largest amount of interest that ha sever been collected in the history of the county.

.KERMEEN SANITY QUESTION |S
 UNSETTLED
Wiley Jones Asks Former Dis trict Attorney and Court for Their Opinions on the Re sponsibility of Condemned.

TOMBSTONE. Jan. 6---(SpeciaD- Judging from telegrams received here during the past twenty-four hours al effort is being made to still question the sanity of w. W Kermeen, who is sentenced to be. hung at the state prison at Florence tomorrow between the hours of ten aad four o'clock. The following telegram was received yesterday by former County Attorney w. C.. Gilmore, from Wiley Jones, the attorney general of the state and a member of the pardon board:
 Wire night letter giving opinion of Kermeen sanity"
 The following is the reply sent by MT. Gilmore to Mir. Jones:
 Measured by every legal standard l have always regarded w. w. KKer- meen as absolutely sane. The murder was surely commercial. He fled from the scene. not only of the crime for which convicted. but for another self confessed one He always seemed to realize the enormity of his guilt. Since. he appeared as sane and acted as sane man. always regarded and dealt with him.
 Judge Lockwood was in receipt of a similar telegram from the attorney general and responded as follows:
 Tn my opinion Kermeen is perfect ly cognizant mentally of the differ ence between right and wrong and his duty to society. but is lacking in the feeling of moral responsibility and restrained only by fear of physic- al punishment. I do not think he feels any moral scruples and in that sence is not normal but is otherwise of sound mind.
 "A. c. LOCKWOOD"
 There were never any actions on the part of Kermeen while he was in the county jail here that showed the least sign of insanity and since he has been in the prison at Flor ence he has written letters back  here that failed to show any signs of insanity. While here he confessed to Sheriff Wheeler to the killing of a woman near Bedding. California. and told how the murder theer was committed. which coinceded with the facts that were sent here hy the of ficers in that county. He signed written statements regarding the killing of Harrel and also wrote let ters to his mother in Nevada about his case that certainly failed to show any signs of insanity. It is under stood that Kermeen now denies that he ever made any confession to Sheriff Wheeler about the killing of the woman of the underworld at Red ding.
 Whether or not the prison board will take any further action remains to be seen during the next twenty four hours. as all reports from Phoe- nix so far have stated that they would not take any further action.

GA[LOPOLI |s SUBJECT OF
 REPORT
General Ian Hamilton's Re- port of Campaign in East is Published in the Gazette Is Excellent History.
.SULVA BAY LANDING
 COMMENTED UPON
Commander Pays High Trib- ute to Bravery of Troops and Tells of the Debarka- ton Fiasco in August.

LONDON. Jan. 6.-General Ian Hamilton's report of the British operations on Gallipoli Peninsula was published in the official Gag cite tonight. It tells the story of the lighting on the peninsula from the beginning of May to the mid dle of October
 The Sulva Bay landing failed to accomplish it's object, the re- port shows, partly because the force consisted largely of untried troops under generals inexperienc- ed in the new warfare and partly through the failure of the water supply. The sufferings of the troops for lack of water make pain ful reading. Hamilton bestpws the highest praise upon the bravery of the men. He believes that after the middle of August. the Turks outnumbered the British and had plenty of fresh soldiers and muni- tions while the British government was unable to furnish him the re- Inducements wanted.
 Probably no more important con tribution to the history of the present war has as yet been made. The report throws light on the great landing at Anzac Cove and Sulva Bay, August ', which has been the subject of strong attacks upon the military administration. The whole operations required the combined action of the army and navy. The handling of masses of troops within a limited area was probably the most complicated ev- CT undertaken. Military men are not surprised that some of the i'm portant details failed to work out as planned.
 A general strongly opposed the abandonment of any bases held by the British troops. The most stirring passages describe the ill., fated landing at Sulva Bay and Anzac early in August for secur- ing the command of the heights on the middle of the peninsula and cutting the Turks from their base. This operation began August 6 and the climax was reached at daybreak of the tenth when the Turks made a grand attack from the summit of the hill upon short front held by two battalions which Hamilton describes as weakened in numbers though not in spirit.
 At first our men were shelled by every enemy gun" he says, then assaulted by huge column consisting of no less than full division plus three battalions. The British simply were overwhelmed in their shallow trenches by the sheer weight of numbers, while those who were out in the open, literally were almost annihilated."

INFORMATION ON MEXICO WANTED IN
 SENATE
Upper Branch of Congress Passes Resolution By Sena- tor Fall Asking President for Available Information.
FOREIGN RELATIONS
 DEBATE PRECIPITATED
Garrison, with Army Experts Before House Committee on Military Affairs Explain ing Plan for Better Army.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Mexico furnished the vehicle for another sen ate discussion of foreign relations. It preceded the adoption without opposi- tion of a resolution by Senator Fall asking the president for the available information bearing on the recognition of the Carranza government. Fall and Lodge spoke in favor of the reso- lution insisting the president should inform congress concerning the situ- alton before an ambassador was con- firmed.
 Senator Williams diverted atten1 tion from Mexico in the course of the debate by commenting at length upon questions arising from the European war. He said an embargo on muni- ton imports would "hamstring' the United States more than any other class power.
 Senator Borah asked Senator Will Hams whether he thought after the war some European government would attack the United States out of a pure spirit of conquest. Senator Williams replied, q am not anticipat- ing attack in the first place. I am anticipating bullying first l am an ticipating the fact that Americans will not consent to be bullied."
 Senator Williams declared there there would be plenty to quarrel about, referring to the repeated torpe- doing of unarmed merchant ships af- ter the question involved, apparently, had been settled by diplomacy.
