JONES BACKS UP ON HIS RECENT
 INTERVIEW
Wiley Jones Says Recent De cision Was Not a Decision. Conference with Wells Fargo Official is Held.

PHOENIX, Feb Following a conference on the personal use ques- tion between Attorney General Wiley Jones, R. A. Cox of Fl Paso superin- tendent of the Wells Fargo Express company in Arizona and New Mexico, and J. NJ. Williams. local Wells Fargo agent. a telegram was sent last night by the express company officials to A. Sutro, Wells Fargo attorney at San Francisco.
 The message was in response to one from Sutro in which he asked for Attorney General Jones' opinion on the recent personal use liquor deci- sion rendered by the supreme court week ago last Saturday. in which it held that liquor can be brought into the state for personal use.
 At the conference the three Wells Fargo officials learned Jones' feeling about the matter and Sutro was ad vised accordingly last night. Sutro. it is expected. will make an announce ment this week relative to whether the Wells Fargo will accept liquor shipments for Arizona.
 Attorney General Jones issued the following statement today on the per sonal use question:
 ''I have given out no official opinion, nor have I given no official advice whatever to any county attorney upon the subject of the supreme court de- cision in regard to personal use. The brief interview published recently was quite brief indeed, and was only upon the point that the case decided did not involve a sale of liquor. neither did it involve a carrier bringing liquor into the state.
 The opinion of the supreme court decided that there may be a legal in troduction into the state for a lawful purpose. and that the defendant had made such an introduction of the wine in question into the state. Now. the question which is before the legal advisers of the express and railroad companies is the matter of the liabil ity or risk assumed by the carrier if the consignee ships the liquor in for an unlawful use. That is a matter for the lawyers of the common car riers to pass upon, and not for the office.
 ''I state this so that it may be un- derstood what was in my mind when
  gave the brief interview that l did, having been informed that from one to four hundred orders for liquor had gone out of this city alone. The courts decision is written in plain language. and ought to be easily un- derstood. but perhaps many of the public. without reading it. have imme- diately jumped to the conclusion that the introduction clause of the pro- hibition amendment is absolutely an- nulled. entirely overlooking this Ian guage of the decision:
 The prohibition amendment in so far as it attempts 10 interdict it's shipment, transportation or introduc- tion into the state for a lawful pur- pose, is inedectuil as an attempt to regulate interstate commerce

ON MART|NPU|CH
Get Within 500 Yards Of
SOnne Post.

London, Aug. 22.-Not only have
the British held all the gains made in
the Saturday advance on an eleven
mile front in the Somme region
through the critical second day and
night following it, but they have
made another important gain. They

came under the fire of the British po-
sitions west of the wood, says the war
office statement.
The Germans delivered violent at
tack on Fleury near Verdun, at night,
using flaming liquid, but without re-
suit. says the French war Office state
ment.
