Maricopa county delegates at the closing session of the Arizona Good Roads association meeting yesterday formation concerning county bond is sues, to them, by far the most inter- esting topic discussed at either ses- sicn. So intent were they upon learn ing how nine other counties had passed bond issues for roads. and how some of the work had been done, that they scarcely entered into the ditional debate by the interjection of questions.
 Resolutions favoring the Bankhead federal aid bill. new road law for Arizona and d roads fund in the Indian appropriation bill, were in- cludcd in the approved report of the resolutions committee.
 Touched upon lightly in several ad- dresses during the morning session. bond issues became the real tonic only when the afternoon session had prog ressed through several warm discus sions of legislative matters. Presi- dent Dwight B. Heard opened the dis cussion by calling upon representa- tives Of other counties to recount their experiences with road bonds A J. Eddy of Yuma told about tht ! method pusued in that division, Wher; plan of two parallel roads had beer | fixed upon before the bonds were voted.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Envoys of the Congressional union for women's suffrage brought their 10000 miles tour of the country to a climax tonight with final plea to about 50 represen tatives and senators gathered in the rotunda of the capitol for passage of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amend ment at this session of congress. A dozen suffragettes, including several representatives of states in which wo men are enfranchised urged their cause and hinted broadly that this would be l good year for both democrats and re- publicans to get on the suffrage band 1 wagon.
 ! As many spectators as could crowd into the rotunda listened to the 1 speeches, and hundreds stood in the plaza outside to applaud the suffra- ] gists, who marched on the capitol in a body to the air of The Marseillaise. ' Four hours previously the suffrage 1 speciaf' bearing the envoys rolled into 1 the railway station to be received by a large local delegation of women- workers. There followed a luncheon at which about three hundred persons 1 were seated and an experience meet ing" during which most of the envoys spoke. Then the envoys were borne to the east steps of the capitol in motor cars for triumphal march into the
 building.
 The steps weer crowded with suffra- gettes garbed in white dresses and the purple, gold and white sashes of the
 organization and carrying flags of the
 same color. Five little girls preceded

DOUGLAS, Ariz., May 16.-Four troopers of the Twelfth cavalry are reported in local military circles to have engaged a small but superior force of MeXicans Saturday morning and exchanged a number of shots with them, killing one and driving the others off. The Guel occurred on the New Mexico border a few miles southeast of Culberson ranch near Antelope Wells. it is stated.
 The report says that the Mexicans opened fire on the patrol while it's members were riding along the bor- der. The Americans replied, after dis mounting and taking cover. For sev- cal minutes the exchange of shots continued until one of the MeXicans fell apparently dead. His compan- ions then rode away. The American soldiers did not know what Mexican faction the attackers belonged to.
 This was the basis for a Mexican attack scare which caused a number of ranchers of the Antelope Wells

[RepubIlcan 4. ?. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, May 16.-President Wilson tonight made public a frank and intimate review of his three years in the White House and his impressions of foreign and domestic problems, delivered confidentally last night before Washington corre- spondents gathered at the National Press club. He spoke of the diff culties of the presidency and partic- ularly of the motives which have guided his handling of the European situation.
 America the president said, "is for peace because she loves peace, and believes the present war has car ried the nations engaged so far that they cannot be held to ordinary standards of responsibility
 But he added. the-United States has grown to be one of the great nations of the world and therefore must act, more or less from the point of view of the rest of the world
 If I cannot retain my moral influ- ence over man except by occas- ionally knocking him down. he said If that is the only basis on which he will respect me, then for the sake of his soul. have got to occasionally knock him down.
 The president declared he had beer kept awake nights considering tho European situation because there might come a time when the United States would have to do what I die not desire to do, and the great bur den of my spirits has been that il has been up to me to choose wheT that time came" He added that h, did not conceive that he had beer elected president to do as he pleased If I were, it would have been yer! much more interesting. he said.
 Impressions of public men as class were given frankly blythe pres ident with the comment that som grew and some swelled He also dis cussed the relations of the newspap CTS to the affairs of the. nation am sounded a warning that false infor nation about foreign affairs wa more than likely to lead to trouble
 The presidents remarks as origi nalfy delivered, were read by hif carefully before being made publi but no important portions were elim mated and the wording was no changed substantially.
 The president said:
 'I am both glad and sorry to b here; glad because I am always hap py to be with you. and know and lik so many of you: and sorry becaus I have to make speech.
